Patek Philippe Complications Ladies' Luxury Watches Review
Ladies and Complications
Patek Philippe Ladies' Complicated watches combine the art of complication with the art of design. In light of the engineering complexity, the latter becomes particularly challenging: the dials must accommodate many extra indicators, and remain visually appealing.
Perhaps that is why Patek Philippe have not yet created a Grand Complication collection for women – all the complications would compromise the aesthetics. As it stands, Ladies Complicated watches exhibit symmetry, elegantly executed Roman and Arabic numerals, equally matching hands, and a lot of precious materials and good taste -- all to create uncompromisingly refined feminine watches.
What Complications?
Patek Philippe Ladies Complicated watches include the following complications: annual calendar, moon phases and dual time. This may not seem many, but considering the size of these feminine watches (usually 31 mm in diameter), it may actually be too much to accommodate on a dial that declares style. Indeed, some of the models may appear to incorporate too much visual information. Two additional subdials on a guilloched colored dial with Roman numerals and an additional set of minute indices, overlooked by three hands (hours, minutes, and dual time hours), create a busy face that may take some time to get used to. Somehow, these watches remind me of the more talkative ladies I've had the pleasure of associating with.
Materials, Color
The collection uses various precious metals, most often gold, and diamonds. Here the stones are given only so much space, as the dials must remain clear for the function; you will find the diamonds on the bezel and lugs in the most luxurious models. I found the most interesting precious material in the tinted mother-of-pearl: it imparts the watch with an inner glow, and constructs a certain character, depending on the color of the tint (blue, gray, brown). Several guilloched models comprise an addition to Ladies Calatrava collection, bringing it to a logical conclusion. Ladies Complicated watches come with alligator skin/satin straps, or bracelets, made entirely out of gold.

A Contemporary Example of Mental Slavery
By Dr. Jeff Mirus (bio - articles - email) | Oct 12, 2010
The perfect example of the situation I describe in my latest In Depth Analysis (Slavery of the Mind: The Cultural Case against the Church) may be found in our own culture's response to clerical sex abuse. Here we have both sides of a faulty argument applied not to different historical situations, as is quite common, but to the same situation and at the same time.
On the one hand, the Church is excoriated on every side for its insistence that homosexual inclinations are disordered, and for implementing this doctrine by stipulating that homosexuals are not to be admitted to the priesthood. On this side of the argument, those members of the Church, including priests and bishops, who align themselves with the culture are praised as being enlightened. These are the Catholics who describe homosexuality and heterosexuality as equal blessings, and who actively seek to recruit homosexual priests and religious.
On the other hand, the Church is excoriated for its homosexual abuse of adolescents, as if those who abuse others or cover up that abuse are representative of "the Church" in the same way as the Magisterium is. I grant that many refuse to acknowledge a connection between welcoming homosexuals into the priesthood and sexual abuse of adolescents. They can hardly do otherwise if they are to maintain the fiction that homosexuality is not disordered. But we have in this two-faced argument the usual swapping of the divine and human sides of the Church, as convenience demands, just as I pointed out in Slavery of the Mind.
Note this well. In the first aspect of the argument, "the Church" is the divine side of the Church, her official and unchanging teachings, her sacramental ministry, her divine constitution and all who live by them. The human side, as represented by millions of Catholics who now accept or even promote homosexuality, is praised; only the intransigence of the divine character of "the Church" is condemned. But in the second aspect of the argument, "the Church" is suddenly condemned in terms of her human side—those who abuse children and those who protect them despite the constant teaching of the Magisterium and long-standing ecclesiastical disciplinary norms which, if followed, would have made this whole problem purely hypothetical. Here it is precisely those who have given themselves too much to the values of the surrounding culture who are "the Church".
Such is the irrationality—indeed, the absurdity—which inescapably arises out of a culture's blind spots. Every culture has them. Once again, it is important to recognize the self-serving double-speak which typically characterizes every culture's special quarrel with the Catholic Faith.

Responsiveness and clinical utility of the geriatric self-efficacy index for urinary incontinence
Article [Accepted Manuscript]
Is part ofJournal of the American Geriatrics Society ; vol. 54, no 3
- Université de Montréal. Faculté de médecine. École de réadaptation
OBJECTIVES: To report on the responsiveness testing and clinical utility of the 12-item Geriatric Self-Efficacy Index for Urinary Incontinence (GSE-UI). DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Six urinary incontinence (UI) outpatient clinics in Quebec, Canada. PARTICIPANTS: Community-dwelling incontinent adults aged 65 and older. MEASUREMENTS: The abridged 12-item GSE-UI, measuring older adults' level of confidence for preventing urine loss, was administered to all new consecutive incontinent patients 1 week before their initial clinic visit, at baseline, and 3 months posttreatment. At follow-up, a positive rating of improvement in UI was ascertained from patients and their physicians using the Patient's and Clinician's Global Impression of Improvement scales, respectively. Responsiveness of the GSE-UI was calculated using Guyatt's change index. Its clinical utility was determined using receiver operating curves. RESULTS: Eighty-nine of 228 eligible patients (39.0%) participated (mean age 72.6+5.8, range 65–90). At 3-month follow-up, 22.5% of patients were very much better, and 41.6% were a little or much better. Guyatt's change index was 2.6 for patients who changed by a clinically meaningful amount and 1.5 for patients having experienced any level of improvement. An improvement of 14 points on the 12-item GSE-UI had a sensitivity of 75.1% and a specificity of 78.2% for detecting clinically meaningful changes in UI status. Mean GSE-UI scores varied according to improvement status (P<.001) and correlated with changes in quality-of-life scores (r=0.7, P<.001) and reductions in UI episodes (r=0.4, P=.004). CONCLUSION: The GSE-UI is responsive and clinically useful.

Cavaliers Danny Green and Cedric Jackson sat courtside as CSU (10-12, 6-4) got a much needed win at home against Horizon League bottom feeder Youngstown State 77-69 on Saturday.
The win moved the Vikings to 6-4 in conference, and right into the thick of the Horizon League race for second place.
No use racing for first, that belongs to #18 Butler (10-o in conference), and the Bulldogs aren't a team you want to see early in the tournament.
CSU coach Gary Waters on Butler:
"Butler went into Green Bay and smacked them around like they weren't even out there last night (Friday). That tells you they're getting better. That's what's scary about Butler. Understand that Green Bay had a 20-game home win streak. They beat Wisconsin at home, and Butler went in there and spanked him. I don't mean patted them on the hands, they hit their fannies pretty good. "
Cleveland State did no fanny spanking on Saturday in their win over YSU by any means. It was ugly. But it
did keep CSU logged jammed in second place along with Green Bay, Detroit, and Wright State who all had four losses as of Saturday with the race for regular season silver heating up.
"We're tied in second, we have four home games, and four road games left. We take care of home, and steal two of the four on the road, and we should be right there. And that's why this trip is so important. Because we're not sure we'll take care of home. Why? Because the four teams that are coming in here all beat us. And they're all fighting for their playoff lives…except for Butler. "
Cleveland State's Jeremy Montgomery went 4 of 6 from three point range for the Vikings to finish with 18 points on the night. After hitting a big three in the second half he pointed over and showed the NBAers some love on his way back down the floor on defense.
(pic of Danny Green)
I thought it was cool, and asked him about what it meant to look over and see NBA players seated courtside at your games:
"It means a lot, especially when one of the guy's are from your program. Ced worked a lot with me last year, and we're proud of him, where he's at, and I want to go out there and make him proud. When I hit that shot, I just wanted to let him know I appreciate all that, and show him some love."
Norris Cole led the Vikings with 19 points, and D'Aundray Brown registered a double-double with 11 points, 12 rebounds as well as 6 steals. Youngstown State's DeAndre Mays led all scores with 27.
After the game the current Cavaliers – like Cedric Jackson pictured below – signed autographs for any kid that asked.
Up next for CSU is road games against Loyola and UIC, and then back home on the 14th for a match-up with Butler.

The Lake of Biel - Celebrating The National Day of Switzerland - Fireworks
The first August is the official national holiday in Switzerland. The three original cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Walden joined in the "eternal covenant" together.
1st August - National Day
Perhaps not known to commit the whole world, the Swiss people on 1st August national holiday with many celebrations, speeches and bonfires. Of course, in the end not be missing the fireworks.
On 1st August is thought to arise throughout Switzerland of the Swiss Confederation. The Confederation is, as its name suggests, due to a vow. Anyway, it is the legend Sun In 1291 AD, three representatives of the three forest cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Walden on Rütliwiese met by a defensive alliance against the Austrians and other enemies to be made. To seal the alliance, they vowed to "Rütlischwur," now familiar with each child in Switzerland. Speaking of children: The Rütliwiese belongs to the Swiss youth. With this oath everything started and with the times and the centuries it joined more and more cantons formed a peaceful or warlike, to be the original cantons, of Switzerland, as it exists today,. This fact is now so commemorated by the Swiss people every year on August 1st. On this day, hundreds of speeches are made, sausages are grilled and consumed even given free from some Swiss towns to the citizens, thousands to millions of francs of fireworks shot into the sky. In some places it is also contemplative and forth: with bonfires and minutes of silence ponders about the past, the future and life in general. It's a beautiful tradition that we make our Swiss National Day with bonfires seen from afar. Because bonfires lit across the valleys and mountains, are a powerful symbol of togetherness.
In any case, if you're a tourist in Switzerland, take the opportunity to participate in these festivities August 1.
Official Swiss holiday
The first August 1994 was first celebrated as an official federal holiday.

The following illustrations were for a friend of mine starting his own clothing line. The first line is to be based on the music of The Roots. As we are both fans of the band it was only fitting to start off the project with Questlove and Black Thought. Later we would work on typographic treatment to lyrical quotes to be used on the tees.
Thank You!

Notes: After busy weekend, Nosek finally gets chance
Darren Helm considered day-to-day, could be ready for Friday's gameby Dana Wakiji @Dwakiji / DetroitRedWings.com
DETROIT - It was an interesting weekend for Tomas Nosek.
The Red Wings called Nosek up on an emergency basis for Saturday and he took warm-ups but the team ended up assigning him back to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
"It's been busy," Nosek said after Monday's morning skate. "I played Friday in Grand Rapids and drove here after the game. Took the warm-ups here, then flew into Chicago and played that night. Yesterday I fly back to Detroit and now I'm here. Yeah it's been busy but it's hockey. It's good. I'm young still. I'm ready to go."
Because Darren Helm suffered a lower-body injury at 5:08 of the second period after a hit by Colorado's Erik Johnson, the Wings recalled Nosek again.
"He's not going to play tonight and I don't expect him tomorrow but Friday is not out of the question," Wings coach Jeff Blashill said about Helm. "It's more of a day to day thing."
This time Nosek will get to play, making his season debut against the Buffalo Sabres.
"I'm very excited," Nosek said. "Every time you get a chance to play in the NHL it's very exciting. I tried to do my best down there to hope to get a call-up and now I'm here, so I will try to prove it that I belong here."
Nosek, 24, has 15 goals and 25 assists in 49 games with the Griffins this season.
"He's done excellent in Grand Rapids, from what I've been told," Blashill said. "I had a chance to see him play a few weeks ago but he got hurt real early in the game. What I believe he is is a real good, solid defensive player who can make plays offensively. He's hard on the puck, he's strong on the puck. His skating has really improved over the last couple of years. He's just a real smart, good hockey player."
Nosek played in six games with the Wings last season.
"Every game in the NHL it's a lot of experience," Nosek said. "The next time you step on the ice you hope it helps you to have more confidence. This year is the first game, so it's been awhile but I'm playing good hockey down there and I hope I prove that tonight."
During the morning skate, Nosek centered a line with Drew Miller and Luke Glendening.
"I think he's become one of the go-to guys there and here he'll be a fourth-liner, so the minutes are different, but he's always an accountable player," Blashill said. "That's what's going to allow his transition to the league to be smooth. He is a two-way player already. There's not lots of bad habits. I'd say the one thing for him is making sure he manages the puck well. When you play lots of minutes and you're expected to produce lots of offense you can take a few more chances with the puck. When you're playing less minutes, you want to make sure you're trying to crate but you can't give anything up. So, that would be the only adjustment for him but I think it comes natural for him to be a good, two-way player."
Nosek said the main thing he's focused on since turning professional is improving his speed.
"Probably I have a problem the first year with the quickness, the speed here," Nosek said. "That's probably the big step for me, the speed. I try to work every summer on it. I hope it's working.
"I feel the difference. I'm a little quicker on the ice. The speed gives me confidence, too."
Blashill said the difference is noticeable.
"If you'd have asked me two years ago I'd have said his skating has to improve for him to play in the league now," Blashill said. "I know he trained real hard in the offseason. He trained with a sprinter with the last two offseasons. I thought when he came up and played with us last year his skating was excellent. I think lots of times with these guys it's opportunity. We've got lots of good players around here. I've said it lots. Not just up here but down there. Then it becomes opportunity-based."
SPROUL NOT SURE ABOUT SURGERY: Just when Ryan Sproul was about to get a real opportunity to stay in the lineup, injury struck.
It happened at 3:04 of the second period in Edmonton on March 4.
"The puck came out the other way as I was turning one way and just an awkward fall, hit a rut on the ice," Sproul said. "It's just an ACL. The MRI was hard to see so it's just a partial tear and a little bit of a bone bruise."
Sproul said he has been rehabbing his knee and would know in the next couple of weeks whether he will require surgery.
"See where it's at and try to fix it if I can by myself by working out and if it's strong enough, I'll stay away from surgery," Sproul said.
Either way, Sproul's season is over after 27 games.
He finished with one goal, six assists and was minus-8.
"It's just a tough season in general for me," Sproul said. "It's not what I wanted. I wanted to come in and make my point of knowing that I could play in this league. It's kind of a struggle when you can't get into games, can't get any consistency. I think with this injury, I'm going to look back on this season and do whatever I can next season to stick in the lineup."
The Wings officially placed Sproul on injured reserve on Saturday.
CALLAHAN OK: Mitch Callahan was a scratch this past Saturday but not a healthy one.
Callahan participated in Monday's morning skate but not fully.
After the skate, Callahan said he had a minor shoulder injury but felt he was ready to play and believed he could have played with it Saturday, but the doctor wanted him to rest it.

A warm welcome from the Rector
Many generations of villagers have worshipped God in this beautiful church high on the Kentish North Downs, and still today the local people look to this iconic building in times of joy and sorrow.
Our challenge in today's culture is to find the right blend of traditional and modern approaches so that the old is respected while the new is valued!
The church is here for you, both as a sanctuary of quiet and as a place of challenge as we work out together how best to serve the local community. Church members are involved in many voluntary activities in the area, quietly caring for those who are vulnerable, supporting young people and responding to the needs of the wider population and the world. Our church is a depot for the Gravesham Foodbank.
With the support of the church people, we seek to make God known in the world around us and serve the community across the whole of Ash-cum-Ridley.

The deadly Ebola virus has killed 14 people in western Uganda this month, Ugandan health officials said on Saturday, ending weeks of speculation about the cause of a strange disease that had many people fleeing their homes.
On Friday, Joaquim Saweka, the WHO representative in Uganda, told The Associated Press that investigators were "not so sure" it was Ebola, and a Ugandan health official dismissed the possibility of Ebola as merely a rumor. It appears firm evidence of Ebola was clinched overnight.
There is no treatment and no vaccine against Ebola, which is transmitted by close personal contact and, depending on the strain, kills up to 90 percent of those who contract the virus. Joaquim Saweka, WHO's representative in Uganda, said that although suspected Ebola infections emerged in early July in Kibale district, about 170 km (100 miles) west of the capital Kampala, the outbreak was not confirmed until Friday. "There are a total of 20 people suspected to have contracted Ebola and 13 of them have died," Saweka said.

I've been wondering, with the whistleblowers who claim they caught wind of plans to evacuate London during the olympics, if this is all connected.
There are Ugandan athletes at the olympics, and one could reasonably assume that there aren't just athletes, but staff, and possibly families as well. How many Ugandans travelled to London for the olympics?
I realize this is going out on a limb, but what if..?
The Ebola virus is spread through close personal contact with a person who is infected with Ebola. Often, infection (in previous outbreaks) have occurred among hospital care workers or family members who were caring for an ill or dead person infected with Ebola virus. Blood and body fluids contain large amounts of virus, thus transmission of the virus has also occurred as a result of hypodermic needles being reused in the treatment of patients.

Summertime in the Midwest may be associated with relaxing by a pool, but true Midwesterns know that hot weather may come with extreme heat, severe thunderstorms, and possibly a tornado or two. In the summer, building owners and commercial roofing contractors often have to schedule time around rain and severe weather when working on the rooftop. So will your commercial rooftop tolerate heavy rains, extreme heat and high winds? Here are some tips to help you protect your commercial roof from severe summer weather.
Keep Landscape Tidy
Dead branches, falling tree limbs or any other possible debris that could potentially damage your flat or low-sloped commercial rooftop should be removed from the area. Be sure to take safety precautions if you're are dealing with any foliage that is hard to reach from ground level.
Clean The Gutters
Ensure that your commercial roofs gutters are cleared out after any type of storm. It's easy for leaves, twigs and other small debris to get caught in the gutter even after a mild thunderstorm. Clogged gutters (poor drainage) can cause water to back up on the roof, creating ponding and additional weight on the lower edge of the roof. The additional water weight in the gutter also has the potential to pull the gutters away from the building, which may cause additional water intrusion into soffits or siding.
Inspect Skylights
Does your commercial building have skylights? Take a closer look at your skylight window(s) and the area of the roof surrounding the skylight to ensure the seal around the window and the window itself will outstand heavy rainfall and no water is able to get through.
Schedule A Commercial Roof Inspection
Your commercial roof covering should be sealed without any cracks, tears or punctures. Whether you have a single-ply membrane, a built-up gravel surface, ballasted EPM or other issues, Duerson's team of skilled roofing technicians can help you repair your commercial roof by taking photographs to evaluate the longevity of your current roof and offer suggestions based on your roofs needs.
Weather-proofing your commercial rooftop may seem like a lot of work, but you don't have to worry about it, if you don't want to! Duerson Corporation can help repair your commercial roof before it turns into a major problem. Even if you just need a roof inspection, Duerson commercial roofing contractors offer a free professional roof analysis.
Duerson's Commercial Roofing Options In Iowa
So you had your commercial roof inspected and it's time to invest in a new roof, what's next? Duerson offers many Duro-Last commercial roofing options: The Duro-Tuff Roofing System is an excellent choice for flat and low-sloped roofs that require a long-lasting, weatherproof membrane. Duro-Tuff allows for easier installation on challenging roofs that are difficult to measure and projects that endure extreme heat. Learn more about Duro-Tuff Roofing System on our website.

Couples who smoke marijuana together are less violent: study
It isn't called a peace pipe for nothing. New research backs up what most people would have probably guessed—that married couples who smoke pot tend to be less violent than those who don't, and that this is especially true when both partners toke up.
In a study of 634 couples over a nine-year period, researchers at the University of Buffalo write in the journal Psychology of Addictive Behaviors that more frequent marijuana use (at least two to three times a month) predicts less frequent violence, and that even a husband who uses marijuana predicts less violence from the wife.
The study did not, however, look into whether marijuana use on a particular day impacts violence on that day—in other words, whether actually being stoned influences behavior.
"It is possible, for example, that—similar to a drinking partnership—couples who use marijuana together may share similar values and social circles, and it is this similarity that is responsible for reducing ... conflict," one researcher says.
They plan to investigate day-to-day use and behaviors before drawing "stronger" conclusions. (Earlier this summer, one man actually used 3-foot pot plants to attack his brother.)

This is my shaped triangle shawl that I started...one hundred and ten years ago. NOT REALLY, it was actually November 2011. Which seems like an eternity ago when I think about who and where I was then as compared to now. Crikey, my son had only just turned 3.
Anyway, I have knitted the first 29 repeats of the border, which, for my attention span and interest, is about 28 repeats too many. Now I'm at the center point, which is more of the same but with short rows for lovely shaping. And then! Only 29 more repeats down the other side. omg.
I'm gonna do it. Determined not to let another 3 years go by before finishing this bad boy.

PANTHEON, please welcome Nelson Oliver, CPA as our new Chief Wellness Officer. Nelson joined us September 1, 2016 as a partner to bring over a decade of business management & skateboarding experience to help take PANTHEON to the next level of excellence in boarding & active transportation. We are excited to have Nelson on board, and stoked for our future!
Nelson "Nphoenix" Oliver, CPA – After achieving a masters degree in accounting with a focus on financial advisory services while managing a small real estate portfolio, Nphoenix began a career as an enterprise risk management consultant for Deloitte in NYC. To keep himself sane under leagues of work stress, Nphoenix spent any available time skating the streets of the Big Apple in the numerous 'outlaw' push races or group skates happening at the time. It was at a Concrete Kings "Mini-Bomb" race Nphoenix first met Jeff Vyain (owner, PANTHEON), and a bond was formed over many miles of pushing boards over pavement through traffic and races in the ensuing years. After three years in NYC, Nphoenix was licensed by the State of NY as a Certified Public Accountant, and had coordinated audit and strategic advisory projects for multinational financial institutions. It was a time wherein he saw how the biggest of the "bad boys" play ball, and was left hollowed, unfulfilled and wondering: "Is this really what life is? Is this really why we're here!? This can't be all we live for…"
An so, in 2011, Nphoenix co-founded a 501(c)(3) educational public charity dedicated to a "fucking epic existence for all beings" (FEPIC) and moved to Breckenridge, CO after parting with Deloitte & NYC, and traveled around the US for three years connecting communities and educating himself on holistic living methods. In late 2014, Nphoenix moved to Denver, Colorado with the intent to align with a top botanicals brand in an emerging highly-regulated industry, and served for 18 months as Controller for a leading infused products manufacturer and vape hardware company with national and international clients and operations. During his time as Controller, Nphoenix lead the Finance, Accounting and HR Departments, and directed the design and implementation of data and risk management systems for company assets, including: human, capital, land, buildings and equipment.
In Summer 2016, Nphoenix reunited with Jeff V, who had just relocated with PANTHEON to Colorado, and was invited to participate in bringing his passion for sustainability and excellence in business to another deep love–skateboarding. Nphoenix is committed to holistic wellness and financial abundance; he brings the benefit of his experience and perspective to bear with clearly defined intent and focus to each moment, and seeks to leave all people and situations better. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Namaste.
Reach Nphoenix at email@example.com to connect, say hello, or if you have any interest in investing in PANTHEON's success!
From Jeff and Fam: Nelson is an inspiring and trusted friend that we've known for years. I'm having a hard time explaining how excited I am to bring him aboard to the business side of Pantheon. In truth, I don't think we could continue to do this without him, especially when considering some of the exciting things we have coming to our future. This is an alignment that I think we both saw coming several years ago, probably before Pantheon ever manifested in the physical, but is an especially timely reconnection now that we're both in the Front Range. Please welcome him aboard, knowing that Nelson's presence helps in Pantheon's continued progression and growth toward righteousness!

Heat Pump Installation in Raleigh
Efficient Systems to Cool & Heat Your Home
When considering ways to keep your home comfortable, the heat pump can be an excellent and often preferable option to a typical heating or air conditioning system. There are many people who are not aware of heating options outside of furnaces or boilers as a means of heating for residences. While like a conventional air conditioning system in most ways, a heat pump is defined by a simple but significant difference: it can also function as a heating system by reversing its process.
Benefits and important details of heat pump systems:
- Price: Heat pump systems can tend to cost a little bit more than air conditioning systems of similar quality or capability. However, this cost is typically irrelevant to your final budget as the added heating capability eliminates the need for a separate heating unit.
- Dual function: In the winter, your heat pump will function as your heater. Come summertime, it seamlessly reverses function for you and instead pumps hot air back out of your house.
- Cold climate issues: A heat pump functions as a heater by pumping existing warmth into the house from outside. At very low temperatures, they have little to nothing to draw from to heat your home.
We'll Help You Find the Right Option
If you have a perfectly functioning heater or furnace system in your home, the heat pump may not be ideal for the added cost. Additionally, if you're already taking advantage of gas heating then the cost advantage may lie with maintaining that system. Our Raleigh HVAC heat pump installation technicians can assist you with a free on-site estimate or any questions you may have about whether a heat pump is the right fit for your home.
Talk to the Experts
At R & S Mechanical, we want to ensure you get the perfect solution for Raleigh heating. With over 10 years of experience in servicing Raleigh heating systems, we know all of the significant factors in determining what system is right for your home. We also have financing options available for many of our customers.

Hello my lovelies,happy Monday :) Today I want to share with you a new brand I descovered while I was visiting my family in Montenegro in November. It is an Italian brand called ''Bellaoggi'' and it is available at the drugstores.I have to admit,I have never heard about it before,but they had some proucts on sale so I wanted to try it out. I bought a waterproof mascara called 'Volume alto' and eye pencil 'Linea occhi' in number 10 (dark brown).
Let's start with the mascara.First I really like the 'water drops' texture effect on the packaging,it shows they put some thought to it. You get a standard 0,33 fl oz or 10 ml of product.
This is the brush,standard size and bristles,it is not too big,and it is very easy to work with. It coats the lashes nice,doesn't clump and the most important (to me at least) doest make your lashes stiff and ''crispy'',wich is a big dealbraker for me when it comes to mascara.Since it is waterproof it holds the curl great. Doesn't flake or smudge.The formula is in between,it is not a wet but not too dry. I use it every single day an I would buy it again.
** I bought it on sale for around 2 euros
The eye pencil I chose randomly,I needed a brown one so I grabed the first one I saw,but after using it for almost 3 months I can say I really like it. It is very pigmented and soft,it glides on very smooth,no presure needed.
Now this is not a waterproof eye pencil so don't expect it to last the whole day,but it does have a deacent lasting power.I use it for a quick day to day make up,and I love to smudge it with a brush so it gets more subtile-smoked look.I would buy it again,but would also love to try other colors.
** The eye pencil was around 1,50.
Here is how mascara and the liner look together,for a simple day to day look
You can check out ''Bellaoggi'' brand here and see if it is available in your country.They have a lot of interesting products,the prices are reasonable and I regret I didn't buy more,since they are not available here in Portugal. I really want to try their eyeshadows,they seem to have some pretty interesting colors and palettes.
**Non sponsored,I bought the products myself
Have you ever tried this brand?
That is all for today,hope you liked it :)
Love and kisses:***

Jayalalithaa urges Modi to take up fishermen arrests with Sri Lanka
Monday, 12 October 2015 - 9:31
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Sunday (11) urged the Indian Prime Minister to take up the arrest of the state's fishermen at a high political level with Sri Lanka and sought immediate release of 54 fishermen and their 34 boats, including 19 who were apprehended yesterday.
"Nineteen fishermen along with their two boats from Tamil Nadu from Nagapattinam were apprehended by the Sri Lankan Navy yesterday," she said, adding this was the fifth instance of such recent arrests of Tamil Nadu fishermen in a span of a few weeks.
She noted that currently the number of fishermen in Sri Lankan custody is 54, besides 34 boats.
"It is time the issue is taken up not only through the normal diplomatic channels, but at an appropriately high political level and the release of the fishermen and the boats secured without further delay. May I request an urgent response in the matter?" she asked.
Despite her repeated requests to take up the matter with Sri Lanka and ensure the early release of the fishermen and their boats, "there has been little response and the fishermen have suffered prolonged detention."
Reiterating that the State's fishermen were being denied their right to fishing in their traditional waters of Palk Bay, she said the denial of right and prolonged incarceration caused misery and frustration among the fishermen.
"We are still awaiting the much anticipated strong and sustained diplomatic initiative to resolve the vexatious issue," she said.

We all know Control Panel's capabilities are limited as far as removing programs is concerned since it allows them to leave behind all sorts of traces that do nothing but diminish your computer's performance. However, there are software utilities that can help you take the reins of the entire matter and decide which apps deserve to stay on your PC and which must be removed completely. AppFalcon is one example of such tools letting you easily uninstall useless software.
Approachable tool helping you manage all your installed apps
First of all, you need to know that the program's user interface is intuitive and should pose no difficulty when interacting with it.
It provides you with a list of all your installed programs, with details such as app name, publisher, installed version, latest version, and size being displayed in order to have a comprehensive view of the content stored on your PC.
Can inform you of possible updates to your software
There are also a series of filters you can resort to in case you are dealing with a large number of programs, so you can see so-called 「CrApps,」 which are potentially unwanted apps, as well as 「Prime Apps.」 Plus, it can provide you with suggestions as to alternative software that could be more convenient to you.
Note that the uninstaller is also capable of notifying you of whether there are any available updates to your current software version so that you can be sure you can benefit from the latest improvements.
Can remove any leftovers created by programs
As is the case of any reliable tool of its kind, AppFalcon can perform a deep scan in order to spot and get rid of any useless leftovers such as registry keys, files, and folders.
As an added bonus, the program has the ability to safely delete any files that seem to be impossible to eliminate from your computer under normal circumstances.
Approachable uninstaller that keeps your PC safe
All in all, AppFalcon is a responsive program that can handle your apps and files and remove any trace they might leave on your computer. Given the fact that it can also increase your PC's security, the program proves all the more so to be quite a reliable tool.

Takeaway study is food for thought
People who live or work near takeaways eat more junk food and are almost twice as likely to be obese as those who have none on their doorstep, according to a study conducted in Cambridgeshire.
Researchers found consumers who are most tempted by takeaways and fast food eat an extra 40g of high calorie food - the same as half a small serving of McDonald's fries - every week compared with those who stay away.
The study suggests working near a fast food place or takeaway caused the biggest problems, closely followed by them being sited near the home.
The research, published online in the British Medical Journal, is the first UK study to combine data from home, work and commuting, and involved 5,442 adults from Cambridgeshire.

"Jamie did an excellent job for Life Center in both the design and construction phase of our new building. He was able to keep us on budget and on schedule, working with both us as the owner and our contractor. It was a joy and honor to have Jamie as the driving force on our team."
-Bill Kafflen, Life Center Church
I've had the privilege of working closely with Jamie Lemon for over 7 years and without hesitation can give him the highest possible recommendation. I have not worked with a finer project architect than Jamie. His range of experience and knowledge of design, construction technology, organizational skills, attention to detail and work ethic are tremendous. He has great people skills, his ability to work collaboratively with clients, consultants and contractors is unsurpassed.
-Glen Lanker, A R T I O S - Architecture, Community Design, Development
As architect on a major project he listened carefully to our objectives for a complex facility, came up with a good vision of what the facility could be, and worked with us in making it a success. Jamie worked closely with the general contractor, monitored the progress on the project, and helped us get it completedand completed to very fine standardsin a timely fashion. Ours was anything but a cookie cutter' projectit required innovative ideas, elaborate information systems and audio visual technology, a large auditorium to be used every week for as many as seventy five colleagues for lengthy training seminars, and working with our four member lead team. I've heard literally hundreds of comments about the facility since we first began using it last June. Every single one: enthusiastic. Jamie came through with flying colors on all counts. We look forward to calling upon him in the future when there is important construction work to be done. I recommend him highly.

In no particular order I present to you the 5 guitarists who had the biggest impact on my playing.
Kurt Cobain
This choice might be controversial to some. After all Kurt Cobain wasn't exceptionally skilled as a guitar player. However his guitar playing for me was the perfect gateway into becoming a guitarist. The fact that his songs weren't complicated and could easily be learned in their entirety by a beginner was the greatest gift I could have had as a novice. I started playing guitar right around the time I first got into Nirvana, and I was given a catalogue of songs that were not way beyond my abilities to learn as a beginner, and for that I will always have a soft spot in my heart for good ol' Nirvana.
It does go beyond that though. Kurt Cobain wasn't only the beginner guitarist's perfect idol, he epitomised the notion that its not all about playing guitar with great skill. I think he certainly had some technical ability, but his guitar solos were all about energy and feeling. I remember seeing the Live Tonight Sold Out film on VHS as an adolescent, and admiring the sheer awesomeness of the solo to Breed, which he performed writhing on the floor. There was something about that idea, that its more about energy and emotion than technical prowess that has always stuck with me as a guitar player.
I've listened to Nirvana so many times, that I probably wouldn't willingly put them on anymore, but I have everything to thank Kurt Cobain for, because undoubtedly without his influence I would not be a guitarist, and my life would be measurably worse for it.
Jack White
Unlike Nirvana, whose music I absorbed through the influence of my older brothers, the White Stripes were totally my own discovery in that they were among the first music that I took home rather than took from home in some way. For that reason they felt special to me. Like they were my thing.
His songs were simple enough for a beginner to learn, but often also went into more advanced territory. I can remember listening to the guitar solos on Elephant in complete awe. He had a sound that was really raw and manic. The solos on Ball and Biscuit are a prime example. Pure screeching energy. I had to get me some of that.
He was the first guitarist that I consciously tried to emulate with gear, picking up my own Digitech Whammy for that intense high pitched squeal and a EHX Big Muff Pi for the beefy fuzz. I saw them twice before they split, and they were incredible. Jack and Meg White were pure brilliance. I hope they decide to reform their duo sometime.
Tom Morello
There was one album that I listened to on my cassette Walkman more than any other during high school and that was Rage Against the Machine's first album. There was one sentence in the linear notes that I couldn't get my head around. "All sounds produced by guitars, bass, drums and vocals" or words to that effect. I didn't get it. His guitar playing is just unique and set apart from any other.
He can make a guitar sound like a DJ scratching records. Or a helicopter. Or a siren. It's just incredible how one guy can come up with so many new and unique techniques for playing guitar, as well as come up with some rocking intense riffs to go along with it.
Rage Against the Machine were just a unique, rebellious, funky, heavy, awesome band that opened my mind in terms of the possibilities of the guitar.
Jimi Hendrix
Some of you are probably rolling your eyes right now. But I can't be honest with myself and not include Jimi on this list. He is still a massive influence on my playing. Every day I sit and noodle trying to emulate his incredible style of fusing lead and rhythm playing (listen to Little Wing for an awesome example.
He just totally revolutionised the guitar and his greatness has not even been remotely challenged by any other guitarist since. You could listen to Jimi Hendrix every day, and spend 30 years learning his sounds and you'll still find something in there that makes you go 'how the f**k did he do that?'
So I understand the impulse, and that some people think they are cool when they say 'Hendrix was overrated' but the fact of the matter is he invented modern rock guitar and no one has been able to play better since. So shut up and go listen to some Hendrix.
John Frusciante
Although the Red Hot Chilli Peppers have been on my radar for years, its only been recently that I got into John Frusciante as a guitarist. I think he is easily the greatest living rock guitarist. But I include him on this list more because of how he approaches music.
John Frusciante has an almost religious devotion to music, and he connects with the guitar not only on a purely technical level, but to him it is something more transcendent. You might be put off when he talks about other dimensions and ghosts etc. But his essential message is that the guitar is more than just a piece of wood with strings on it, that it is something you can use to express something, to communicate something, and that the ability to perform music is sacred and transcendent.
I don't use those terms to mean there is something actually magical or religious about playing the guitar, but that it is something more than just muscle memory and music theory. That it connects with something deeper. If you want some inspiration to grab your guitar, and play it every day with a deep reverence for it then you should get into John Frusciante. Once you get what he is about, you get his guitar playing and you can't help but be inspired by it.

We agree with the review. Sloppy, poorly prepared and too, too expensive for small portions.
I heard a radio ad for a new Italian place on Broadway & Swan. We visited with another couple on a Friday evening in mid-July.
About ten people there and then a diminishing flow in and out. Pretty live piano music. The waitstaff was prompt, courteous and cute---but not real waitstaff---just girls bringing out plates.
The owner/chef came to our table and interrupted our meal with too much chat. Please leave us alone. We didn't come to talk to you but sample your cuisine.
---Ordered two lasagnas, eggplant parmesan and a chicken parmesan.
---All entrees were swimming in a plate of the same red sauce.
---Bread was just terrible.
---We were all disappointed.
---Shared with my wife their "best west of NYC" cannoli and we each has a taste and left the rest.
---House wine was OK.
---They wrongly added our separate check. Trying to bill us for items we didn't order and different wines. But owner/ chef apologized and corrected.
---For the two of us it was a waste of $54.00
Certainly doubt we'll return or recommend.

Photo Flash: KC Rep's A CHRISTMAS STORY, THE MUSICAL!
Ticket sales continue to soar for Kansas City Rep's world premiere of A Christmas Story, The Musical!, which begins previews today.
A Christmas Story, The Musical! has sold out more than one third of its performances. While still in rehearsals, the show had already far outpaced sales for every other Rep show for comparable weeks, and it continues to rapidly close the gap on all-time ticket sales at the theatre.
When tickets for A Christmas Story, The Musical! went on sale to the public on October 1, more than $22,000 in sales came in during the first hour and by the close of that day, the theatre had a record-breaking $47,000 in single tickets sales. First-day sales for the Rep's previous holiday show, Dickens' A Christmas Carol, a perennial audience favorite for more than 29 years, averaged about $34,000.
From the beginning, the Rep's artistic director Eric Rosen and the show's producing partners Gerald Goehring, Michael F. Mitri and Bartner/Jenkins Entertainment have had high expectations for their new holiday musical. "We couldn't be happier with our partnership with Kansas City Rep," said Goehring. "It's exciting to follow the record-breaking box office reports, which are extraordinary given this challenging economic climate. Total sales for the week of November 2-8 very nearly doubled the previous week's sales and they continue to climb. This phenomenal success speaks not only to the popularity of the 1983 film on which the show is based, but to Kansas City's high regard for Eric Rosen and the Rep. People know that this beloved holiday story is in excellent hands. I predict sales will leap off the charts after the show opens."
A Christmas Story, The Musical! runs November 20 through December 27 at Spencer Theatre in the James C. Olson Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Tickets prices are $15-$70 and may be purchased by calling the Rep's box office, 816-235-2700, or by visiting the website, www.KCRep.org.
Now in its 45th season, Kansas City Repertory Theatre is its region's only member of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT) and serves as the professional theatre in residence at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). The Rep produces mainstage plays and special events at Spencer Theatre on the UMKC campus and Copaken Stage located in downtown Kansas City. Kansas City Rep employs more than 250 professional artists, technicians and administrators, and serves more than 100,000 patrons annually.

I'm truly inspired this morning. Yesterday we had the opportunity to visit the family farm of our new egg supplier, Rhodes Family Farm in Newberry, IN. We wanted to check out their farm and the life the chickens lead, just to see where our eggs were coming from.
Luke Rhodes was a gracious host to myself and a few of our staff. I have included some photos of the chickens' life on the bus. Luke moves the bus around every few days so the chickens have fresh grass bugs. The chickens are cage free and are free to roam around A-frame nesting house or the bus itself on this beautiful farm that is over 170 acres! Of course they choose to not wonder too far from the food (much like myself) and huddle underneath the bus to keep cool. Here's a photo of the big dog who watches over the chickens...in spite of being blind!
We have just switched to getting our eggs from Luke. We use these eggs in all of our pastries and cakes. They also are the source of the wonderfully golden yolks we use in our French style ice cream.
It's so nice to know where your food comes from. Isn't it?

VGA. if I set 1080p the screen is squashed vertically into the left hand side of the screen. VGA. I can use 1600*1200 and that looks blurry, I dont think my TV can even handle 1600*1200 HDMI. The display is scaled and is never fits properly, it either has black borders or the top is cut off. HDMI. The picture is very bad quality and pixelated even though the resolution is high. Do I need any specific drivers for my GT120?

The Far-Left Loons Catch Up with Bill Clinton
Egged on by vicious far-left websites and a deeply committed left wing media, unstable Americans are running wild, interrupting speeches, TV programs, even invading churches to disrupt and embarrass people with whom they disagree.
And they're not just targeting the right. Hillary Clinton, Bill Maher, even Nancy Pelosi have been verbally assaulted and scorned by these cranks. The latest happened in Minneapolis, where President Clinton was speaking at a fundraiser for his wife. From the audience, a 9/11 conspiracy nut interrupted him:
FORMER PRES. BILL CLINTON: And they were a part.
CLINTON: What? It's all right. Anyway, these people did not come here to hear you speak. And...
CLINTON: But it's all right. If you don't have any self control, we can live with it. I -- but just think about that.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 9/11 was an inside job!
CLINTON: An inside job? How dare you. How dare you.
Well, the reason the guy dares, sir, is that nothing will happen to him and he'll get the attention he wants.
As "Talking Points" stated last night, there is a growing strain of anarchy in this country. And assaults on freedom of speech are everywhere. We'll prove that in just a few moments.
But it is truly ironic that people on the left like the Clintons are now being targeted, because they have consistently refrained from criticizing the radical loons. You'll remember Hillary Clinton showed up at the daffy DailyKos convention and mocked me for hammering that group. You reap what you sow, madam.
Clear thinking Americans must condemn the fascists and actively oppose the anarchy they embrace. Your children are getting this craziness in school. And it's 24/7 on the Net.
Only public opinion and criminal proceedings against the loons will tamp them down. Let those actions begin in earnest.
And that's "The Memo."
Pinheads and Patriots
Dave Matthews and his band will give two free concerts at West Point next month after the cadets there won an Internet contest. So for doing that, Matthews and his gang are patriots.
But this Colbert guy is another story. He is promoting his book by running for president, a strategy borrowed from comedian Pat Paulsen of Smothers Brothers fame.
Now, Colbert's run for the presidency is being sponsored by Doritos, which may be illegal. So we hope Colbert is sentenced to prison or to house arrest, where he has to continuously watch his own program. That is what can happen to pinheads.

Lisa Hanawalt's fantastical sophomore book, Hot Dog Taste Test, opens with a string of disclaimers. Among them: It is not a cookbook, you won't find any recipes, and there is no actual food included.
What you will find are nonsensical baking tips (protect butter's reputation); bizarre advice on how to choose a wine (merlot makes you ask strangers for piggyback rides); and obsessive hand-drawn lists about sassy foods (Cool Ranch Doritos), earnest foods (hot dogs but not the buns) and food with good intentions (pickles, which also happen to be one of Hanawalt's favorite things to eat).
The collection of watercolor illustrations, comics and columns — some of which, like the Las Vegas food diary and the profile of New York City chef Wylie Dufresne, were first published in Lucky Peach — draws inspiration from the kind of mundane, middle-class American fare you likely won't find printed on the glossy pages of food magazines: Jolly Ranchers, halal carts, soft pretzels and Subway sandwiches.
Hot Dog Taste Test is so much more than merely a book about cooking or food culture. With its 170-plus pages of art and writing — including a page intentionally left blank for the reader to stain with food — it is both a playful critique of and a colorful contribution to the world of food writing.
The James Beard Award–winning humorist is admittedly not a culinary expert, but her lack of food sophistication is precisely what gives her work its strength.
"The way I eat in my day-to-day life is like very simple to the point of being absurd," Hanawalt says. "Like, my boyfriend makes fun of me because if I'm eating a snack, it's often like a pickle and then a hard-boiled egg and then crackers and then maybe a carrot, and it's like I'm eating like a baby."
The sad-looking, poorly lit food photos she occasionally posts on her Instagram account — reprinted in a two-page spread in Hot Dog Taste Test — can attest to that. In one image, a bun-less hot dog shares a plate with pickles, olives, two strawberries and a glob of ketchup and mustard. In another, a half-eaten apple and a spoon of sticky peanut butter aren't even worthy of a plate.
"A hot dog cut up with ketchup is like lunch for me, so I just think it's funny to Instagram it," Hanawalt says. "I just don't want to put that much effort into cooking," she says.
The illustrator is as comfortable drawing breakfast foods as she is bathrooms and the fantastical cabanas she's dubbed "menstrual huts." She thinks often about what happens to food before, during and after human consumption.
Food becomes both fuel and amusement — it is at times delightful and at others grotesque. Some foods, like the hot dogs walked on leashes like canines, take on petlike characteristics. Much of Hanawalt's work, in fact, relies on the anthropomorphizing of objects and animals. This is in line with the Netflix series she designed and co-produces, Bojack Horseman, whose third season premieres next month; it's based on a washed-up TV actor (played by Will Arnett) who also happens to be a horse. (His agent is a cat and his rival is a golden retriever.)
A Palo Alto native who grew up devouring food writing from former L.A. Weekly food critic Jonathan Gold, Hanawalt graduated from UCLA's art program in 2006, where she jokes she subsisted almost entirely on boba tea.
After college, she migrated to New York, where she lived mostly off pizza, hot dogs, takeout from Halal Guys at 14th Street and Second Avenue, vegan dosas from the cart at Washington Square Park and tacos from the Tacos Morelos trucks in the East Village and Williamsburg (all depicted in her book).
Early last year, she moved back to L.A. to work on Bojack Horseman full-time. "My next report will be from the quinoa-paved streets of Hollywood!" she wrote in a Lucky Peach column, reprinted in Hot Dog Taste Test. But in reality, Hanawalt lives up on a hill in Echo Park, and she prefers taco trucks to quinoa.

"We have taco trucks everywhere that you can just stop at on your way home late at night and have one of the best tacos of your life," she says when asked about how the L.A. food scene compares with New York's. "We have the San Gabriel Valley, which is just an embarrassment of riches of dim sum and Szechuan food," she says, adding that Szechuan Impression is her current favorite restaurant.
What else does the L.A. food scene have to offer? "It's also a great place to — this is so lame — but just get a really good salad, which is what I eat most days."
So maybe the streets aren't paved with quinoa and not everyone here is a washed-up TV actor — but at least some of the better stereotypes about Los Angeles still ring true.
Hanawalt will discuss Hot Dog Taste Test at Skylight Books, 1818 N. Vermont Ave., Los Feliz, on Wednesday, June 8, at 7:30 pm.

Don't click on fake news and let the hacker hack your computer and other devices. Watch out and don't let the interest kill you as the saying said "Curiosity killed the cat" ..
Brad Pitt is alive and well, and if you click on a story claiming otherwise … it could expose your phone, computer or other device to hackers.
Facebook is warning users not to click on what appears to be a FOX News report about Brad's death. If you do fall for it, and enter the requested info … the bad guys can get your passwords and control of your account.
The malware is evil genius — the hackers clearly preying on the public's interest in all things Brad and Angelina Jolie.

When Paul Swiacke jokingly asked library curator David Avery if he could hang his amateur photographs on the walls he so often touches up with paint, Avery took him seriously.
Swiacke, who holds a degree in biology from UConn and has worked in Facilities Operations for 20 years, showed Avery a small sample of his 8,000 candid nature photographs.
And the two began to plan for an exhibit of Swiacke's work that is now on display in the Stevens Gallery at Homer Babbidge Library until Aug. 17.
"Paul really has an eye for photography," Avery says. "There's something about his photos that makes them seem so real and alive."
Swiacke's photos, inspired by his love of nature, were taken almost exclusively in New England.
His photographs depict such images as trees arched over a sparkling river with a triangle of sunlight illuminating the foreground, or a dragonfly with faint black stripes on its screened wings grasping a twig with lush, budding leaves behind it.
"His pictures say it all. They make you stop and say, 'I know that place,'" Avery says.
"One of his photos is taken on the Moosup River, where I fish," he adds. "When I saw the image, it struck me as familiar, and then I realized where it was taken."
Swiacke hand built the frames for the 10 large images and 58 smaller ones that are displayed in an arrangement he designed himself
in the gallery.
The 8-by-10 photos were printed on his own inkjet printer, while the 11-by-17 photos were sent to a digital imaging lab.
This is the first public exhibition of Swiacke's work.
"I don't consider myself an artist," he says. "I shoot what I like and what's available to me: nature."
Swiacke spends most of his free time canoeing, fishing, and backpacking. He takes photos along the way.
"Taking photos of nature is just an extension of what I do outside," he says. "It gives me something to do other than stand in a river all day and fish."
Most of the photos were taken in various locations around New England, with many from places in Connecticut including Pachaug State Forest in Voluntown, Bluff Point in Groton, and the Thames River in Norwich.
"I took some of them in my backyard," says Swiacke, who lives in Plainfield.
Some were also taken in the Adirondack Mountains in Keene, N.Y. In the past, Swiacke has shot photographs in the Grand Canyon, Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, and the White Mountains with a traditional camera using film.
Swiacke has a long-standing interest in photography, but he hadn't photographed anything in 30 years until three years ago, when he took an old 35mm camera on a trip to Alaska with his son.
The trip inspired him to learn how to use a digital camera.
"I watched people who were using digital cameras," Swiacke says.
"When they were done taking the photos, they were done. I still had to have mine processed."
Since that trip, Swiacke has taken more than 8,000 digital photos with a 5.0 megapixel Nikon Coolpix 5700. He recently purchased a digital 35mm Nikon D200 that he is still learning how to use.
"I'm completely self-taught," he says.
"It took me six or eight months to figure out digital cameras."
When going on outdoor trips, he carries only his small digital camera with him in case he decides to take photos.
When his primary purpose is to take photos, he travels to places he's already been, bringing along the more bulky 35mm digital camera.
He says he doesn't make a lot of adjustments to his photos, but does use Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 to sharpen them, clean the edges, and adjust the lighting, if necessary.
"I don't add any color or make any digital changes to the photos," he says.
Swiacke has sold a few 8-by-10s and plans to submit his photos to a nature photography contest.
"I'm going to do it for fun and see where it goes," he says. "But I don't plan to get rich from it."
