Review: Lancome Photogenic Lumessence Foundation
This foundation sounds phenomenal for those with dry skin, and that's why I was interested in this product. I have tried Lancome's Teinte Idole Ultra and found that one to be great as well. Photogenic gives lighter coverage than Teint Idole Ultra, but looks lovely on the skin giving a dewy, luminous finish, which is very flattering on my skin type. If you have oily skin or are looking for a matte finish, this will be the total opposite. I received this product from StrawberryNet.com for review consideration, my opinions are my own.
StrawberryNet.com, it retails there for $47.50 CAD. There were 6 shades available to choose from. I am typically the lightest shade in most foundations (I am NC15 in MAC for reference) so I picked up the lightest shade they had, 01 Beige Albatre. I did some research as I always do before deciding to get any product, compared swatches of shades, read how it worked on those with similar skin types and colouring as myself etc. This foundation has a pretty great rating on MakeupAlley, it rates 4.2 out of 5, with a 72% repurchase rating. When I got the bottle I thought the colour was good, it looks darker in these pictures. But once applied, it was far too dark for me which sucks majorly because I LOVE how this foundation looks on my skin.
US Lancome website here. I love ordering online because you can get great deals, but you risk not getting the right shade, especially if you haven't hit up a counter for a sample before, I should of done that, still I would of ended up with the wrong shade because I expected the European lightest shade to work for me.
So unfortunately, while loving what this foundation does for my skin, I can't wear it because it's far too dark for me! Maybe if I get a tan or start fake tanning (which I am planning on doing soon) I could possibly make this work.
Would I recommend this product? Many on makeupalley claim this is their holy grail foundation and I can see why. For those with dry skin, I would definitely suggest trying this out, just make sure you get the right colour match. This is not for those with oily skin though, it would make you far too shiny and it would melt off, too moisturizing for sure.

I think this might be a good one for me in the winter months when my skin is drier..great review!

That sucks that was the lightest shade! Too bad, it sounds perfect for you! I might have to check this one out. Although, I have so much stuff right now-too much stuff!

I used to love Lancome foundations until they discontinued my fave which was the Adaptive. It'll be a while before I try Lancome again. Thanks for the heads up for us oily-skin types.

I have your same problem! Lancome doesn't make a shade of Photogenic Lumessence light enough for me. I used to love its previous incarnation in Beige Porcelain but alas they don't make it any more.
On the other hand, Yves Saint Laurent makes a new shade of Teint Resist, called 1 Ivory, which is PERFECT on my skin (light, neutral undertone). You might want to try it too... also True Match N1 is great, a little paler, but same undertone and great on dry skins.

By: Jenna Zine (Two Beers) –
Melancholy Martin (Jorge Becker) agrees to housesit for his distant cousin Bruno (Cristian Carvajal) and Bruno's wife Consuelo (Blanca Lewin) while the family takes off to Paris for an extended trip. Soon the detached Martin finds himself enthralled with a local woman who makes him reconsider his hermit lifestyle.
A Toast
This project by accomplished Chilean directors Alicia Scherson and Chistian Jimenez, with screenwriter Alejandro Zambra, is a quiet, reflective indie flick delight. The story revolves around Martin, a damaged 40-something man, who, despite being good-looking and capable, is not motivated to make much of his life. We learn through a bit of exposition that the crux of his malaise centers around a bad breakup, with a woman who he is not yet over, as well as the sudden death of his father. Adrift, he agrees to spend the summer at his cousin Bruno's swanky but homey pad, even though both seem quite wary of each other. Also slightly unnerved by Martin's presence is Bruno's wife Consuelo, who finds herself musing about the near-stranger that is set to take over their home.
The film is slow to start, a pace that remains steady throughout the film. A fair amount of the narrative is focused on the dynamic between Bruno and Consuelo, an interesting vibe in itself, while also watching the three interact as Bruno's family gets ready to leave for their trip. (Bubbling under the surface is the possibility of infidelity on Bruno's part, as well as a troubling message Bruno and Consuelo's young daughter, Sofi, has painted on her bedroom wall about hating her parents and Paris.)
There is chemistry between Consuelo and Martin – he even attempts to kiss her before she departs for the airport – but she rebuffs him, leaving Martin to his own devices as she quickly scurries off to join her family. It is once Bruno and co. leave that the full weight of what Martin has chosen dawns on him – the loneliness is almost deafening. To fill his hours, he wanders aimlessly around the two-story villa, poking through possessions, trying on clothes, listening to jazz, and chain-smoking. The only other thing he interacts with is the family cat, Mississippi, who, sensing his temporary owner's disinterest, promptly goes missing.
Mississippi, you are harshing my vibe! [Photo Credit]
Beer Two
It's the cat that finally propels Martin to leave the house and explore the neighborhood as he puts up "Missing" signs for the feline. Along the way he meets Pachi (Gabriela Arancibia) who is also flyering for her lost dog. (It is refreshing in this digital Tinder age to have a real life meet-cute.) Soon she is dropping by his house to check in on him, and shortly thereafter they are embarking on a passionate affair. (Pachi decides they will "fuck nine times" and then see if they want to renew "the contract.") In the meantime, Pachi has questions about Martin's life and the lie is born before Martin thinks twice: Yes, this is his house. Yes, he does have a child. And yes, he is divorced. The house, with all of its familial ephemera, has unwittingly set the stage perfectly. Whoops! But Martin, already enamored with Pachi and her young son, Seba, doesn't see much cause to waver after presenting his fabricated "reality."
There is so much hope for Martin – one thinks he has finally found happiness. All he has to do is come clean about the lie, hope that Pachi will understand, and move forward with the real life that's just within his grasp. But can he beat the bitter beast of self-loathing? As the clock winds down on his housesitting gig (nicely illustrated by Bruno's collection of hourglasses), Martin begins to fold in on himself. I kept thinking of the old adage, "If someone tells you who they are, believe them." Martin sold Pachi (and ultimately himself) a fantasy – truly knowing Martin was never going to be a part of that.
Can you sense a love based on a lie? [Photo Credit]
Though Family Life is subtitled I found myself turning up the volume, enjoying the cascade of dialect and the well-chosen soundtrack. The plot poses the oft-asked "how well do we ever know the ones we love" question, leaving viewers to fill in the blank. It is a quiet film with a short run-time. It is lovely but, much like its protagonist, it could've been a little bit more.
Family Life (2017) Drinking Game
Take a Drink: every time Martin and Pachi make love. Spoiler – it's more than 9!
Take a Drink: every time you want to tell Martin to snap out of it.
Take a Drink: every time you fantasize about living in that gorgeous home. Interesting side note – the flick was shot in director Alicia Scherson's pad.
Do a Shot: for Bruno and Consuelo, who have to come home from Paris and clean up Martin's mess!
Last Call: I would recommend watching this beautiful film to the very last haunting frame.

Peanut allergy potentially cured by oral therapy
A treatment for peanut allergies may provide a long-term cure for allergy sufferers.
Over 60 peanut allergic children in a study run by Murdoch Children's Research Institute were either given a dose of a probiotic, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, together with peanut protein in increasing amounts, or a placebo over 18 months to assess whether they would become tolerant to peanut.
The probiotic was a fixed daily dose, while the peanut oral immunotherapy was a daily dose of peanut protein starting at very low doses followed by a dose increase every two weeks until the maintenance dose (2 grams peanut protein) was reached. At the end of the treatment, the child's ability to tolerate peanut was assessed by a peanut challenge performed two to five weeks after stopping treatment.
'Modifying' allergic response
Remarkably, researchers found over 80 per cent of children who received the oral immunotherapy treatment were able to tolerate peanut at the end of the trial, compared to less than 4 per cent of the placebo group. This is 20 times higher than the natural rate of resolution for peanut allergy.
23 of 28 (82.1 per cent) probiotic-treated children and one of 28 (3.6 per cent) placebo-treated children were able to include peanut in their diet at the end of the trial. The likelihood of success was high – if nine children were given probiotic and peanut therapy, seven would benefit.
Lead researcher A/Professor Mimi Tang said the study results of the combined delivery were extremely exciting.
"Combined delivery of probiotic and oral immunotherapy was a safe and effective treatment for peanut allergy," A/Prof Tang said.
"The likelihood of success was high – if nine children were given probiotic and peanut therapy, seven would benefit."
"It appears that we have been able to modify the allergic response to peanut such that the immune system produces protective responses rather than a harmful response to the peanut protein."
The need for a curative treatment is greatest for peanut allergy since this is usually lifelong, and is the most common cause of fatality due to food-induced anaphylaxis.
Further research is now required to confirm whether patients can still tolerate peanut years after the study has finished.
'Don't try this at home'
A/Prof Tang cautioned about giving the treatment only under close medical supervision.
"Some families might be thinking about trialling this at home and we would strongly advise against this. In our trial some children did experience allergic reactions, sometimes serious reactions," she said.
"For the moment this treatment can only be taken under the supervision of doctors as part of a clinical trial."

Ranting about Retard
Better yet explain to this "retard" why you are using the medical term for his condition as a hate word.
Go ahead. Tell him why you feel it is okay to take a word that describes him, back it with your bitterness and anger, and throw it around casually.
Personally, I feel discrimination doesn't come from the actual word but the tone in which it is being used. So, let us go ahead and say someone cuts you off in traffic and you decide to deem them a "retard". Hmmm, well you are implying he is an incompetent, Ahole who cant do anything right. Using the word retard has now turned you into a bully. A socially irresponsible one at that. Way to go. I'd rather be a retarded all day long than be a bully.
Why don't you say it to his face? Yes, him. My brother. He is in fact mentally retarded. He is also insanely compassionate, empathetic and most importantly not devoid of human emotion so when you use the "R" word it hits him where it hurts. He is sensitive to the fact that he "different from the other kid" He knows. He doesn't need that shoved in his face or pointed out. Using the word "retarded" is meant to imply that that's a bad thing. and for him? and all of us that love him? It's not a bad thing. It's a challenge and an obstacle but everyday he wakes ready to attack it with ferocity. By using that word you cut him down and chip away at his self esteem.
Ask an adult with Down Syndrome if they have ever been called retarded. Ask them how it felt. The same way it feels when a chubby girl gets call "fat" or when a young gay man is called a "fagot". It stings. Bad. No one wants to be labeled. No one wants to be boxed in by the color of their skin, their weight, their religion, and certainly not by their IQ level.
Bottom line, TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. We have no right to refer to anyone who is in a different station than we are by anything other than their name.

I absolutely LOVE This post! I also have a brother who is mentally retarded... he has autism. But nonetheless, he is one of the brightest people, most compassionate, honest and more interesting than most of us out there...ReplyDelete
Good Job on this post!
I also want to say your brother is the CUTEST kid ever!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 28, 2010 at 9:21 PM
I hate the word too and it annoys me when my stepsister, a teacher, uses it. Also? Your brother is so cute. I could just eat him. But I won't. Because that's cannibalism.ReplyDelete
I just came across your blog a little while ago, and thank you so much for writing this post! I hate it when people use the words retarded and gay in these ways. It bothers me to no end.ReplyDelete
Being the parent of a child with special needs, I also find this word very offensive. My step daughters who are 8 & 12 used the word without even knowing the true meaning and I think that a lot of adults use it without even thinking. When I told my step daughters that people may use that word in a negative way about their brother, they were offended by it. Sometimes people just need a gentle reminder. Maybe tell them to go to the Spread the Word to End the Word website and take a pledge.ReplyDelete
Very well said. I hate also hate when people use that word. Some people honestly just dont care and its so wrong because your brother did ask to be "special" (I hate saying mentally retarded, I just feel so bad for saying it, so I refer to them as special because they truly are). I agree your brother is adorable. I had/have so much respect for you even tho I dont personally know you but Anthony has told me so much about you and your brother and it made me respect you so much more.ReplyDelete
Everyone deserves to be treated equally no matter how different they are. And I 100% agree with the statement Treat others how you want to be treated. And I def agree that everyone should spread the word to end the word and take the pledge. I just did and hope many others will.

Despite last week's claims by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) that it has 1.2 billion litres of petrol in stock, the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), on Sunday evening there are no products for its members to load from the various depots.

TOKYO - The graphic scenes of real life destruction wreaked by last year's tsunami left manga artist Jiro Taniguchi wondering what the point of his art form was.
The 64-year-old was sitting at his desk on March 11 last year when Japan was changed forever by the huge earthquake and the enormous tsunami it sent hurtling into the coast.
Like many in Japan, he was captivated by the pictures of devastation that were played out on television over the coming days and weeks, in a tragedy that killed more than 19,000 people and sparked a nuclear crisis at Fukushima.
"I immediately questioned what I should do in this tragic period. I thought about quitting, not knowing how drawing manga could still be useful," he told AFP as he sat in his Tokyo studio, surrounded by towering stacks of books.
"I had deadlines that I had to meet for work that I was doing at the time, so I kept going, but for months I wondered what to do."
Taniguchi's exquisitely detailed line drawings set his work apart from much of what is known of manga in the West.
Each panel is painstakingly hand-drawn by a man who refuses to learn the modern tricks of his craft.
"I do not use a computer because I don't know how, I don't have that skill," says Taniguchi, who relies on paper, pencils, a pen and a craft knife to create his images.
His subject matter also stands in stark contrast to the usual fare of high school romance or sometimes violent pornography consumed by some of Japan's manga fans.
In works such as "Arukuhito", published in English as "The Walking Man", the protagonist is occupied less by any specific action as by a fascination with aspects of everyday life - the things he finds, the scenes he sees and the people he meets on his strolls through suburban neighbourhoods.
Taniguchi's intricately constructed landscapes populated by vaguely cartoonish characters have drawn comparisons in the West with some of the better-known European comic heroes, such as Tintin.
This seeming familiarity has given him a big following in France, where this week he was invited to a literary fair in Paris.
"I don't know why I am also known outside Japan. Perhaps it is because my work is similar to Western comics, which I've followed for 30 years and they have influenced my subconscious," he told AFP.
"I was very surprised to meet European children who had read my manga...Japanese school children do not read me."
A year on from the tsunami, and Taniguchi is back at work, inspired by the way that his compatriots dealt with the privations and the hardships of the tragedy.
"Seeing the images on television, I was struck by this nightmarish vision and could not work. I wondered if it could be real.
"But the nuclear accident and events that followed made me learn a lot about how the Japanese react" in times of difficulty, he said.
It was this determination that inspired Taniguchi to carry on.
"I continued thanks to my readers, thanks to the voice of the survivors that made me realise that they still wanted to read my work," he said.

Distance: 7.0km Time: 52:47: Pace: 7'32 kCal: 829 Heart: NA RPE: 3 Type: 45min easy
Wow. What a nice enjoyable run this morning.
After the last few weeks, I thought I was going to die. Today's weather was in the mid 60's when I started and 45 minutes later I STILL had a smile on my face.
The break in the weather has now given me hope that I can actually make it through next week's Disney Challenge without dragging my tongue along the pavement.
Uhm… I think I should point out one small flaw in my running.
I don't hydrate. So just maybe that was one of the reasons for the last two weeks of torture. I'm a minimist when it comes to running. I try to carry as little as possible. Even my Nano is too big sometimes! And a water bottle…? HA!
I know I've got to be more 'responsible' – and I do mean too…
Especially when I started dreaming about eating grapes with Cleopatra 1/2 way through last Saturday's run.
I promise.
But for today, grapes never came into my thoughts.
Only the gorgeous sunrise breaking through the trees as I ran along the park path.

Welcome to Lexi Jewelry. I hope you will enjoy wearing my handmade, one-of-a-kind creations as much as I have enjoyed making them. My goal, through jewelry, is to heighten the sense of contemporary style and femininity that women of all ages possess, and to bring joy to the wearers.
I'm constantly conceptualizing my next creation, incorporating seasonal fashion colors into the designs. While the beauty of Nature -- the sea, flowers, trees -- is my primary inspiration, ideas from ancient Greek and Roman jewelry add a timeless elegance.
Because natural stones, shell, horn, and bone are my preferred materials, no two pieces are exactly alike. The intricate patterns I craft with brass, silver or 14Kt gold filled wire complement the stones and emphasize the uniqueness of each design. Silver beads from Bali add a subtle richness, and stimulate the wearer to express her own individuality with Lexi Jewelry.
Those selecting Lexi Jewelry for someone else can be confident that their gift will be received with delight, especially when the wearer's astrological sign and the empowering and healing qualities of the various stones are considered. I proudly stand behind my jewelry, which I create to enhance each wearer's individual flair.

Forest of Wonders by Linda Sue Park
Something Completely Different! A Book for Grades 4-8
This is the first book of the Wing and Claw series; a colleague will be talking about books for this grade range during a presentation and I figured I'd expand my reading horizons and give one a shot. I don't think I've read anything for this age group since I was a part of it!
Twelve year old Raffa is an apprentice apothecary with a natural gift for creating poultices and infusions. When he finds a badly injured bat by his house he asks his parents if he can do his best to heal it. They agree, and Raffa goes into the woods with his best friend and cousin to find a vine rumored to have amazing healing properties which hasn't been seen in decades. So begins the journey.
This book has a little bit of everything. A child prodigy, jealousy, revenge, good intentions twisted, rich people, poor people, talking animals, trustworthy adults, non-trustworthy adults, and because of the audience a bunch of kids getting in trouble way over their heads setting out to save, not quite the world in this case, but the animal kingdom. Kids will like that the story is about peers, adults reading it will like that while the main character's parents are portrayed as staid and unadventurous Raffa begins to appreciate them when they are not around.
My only complaint is the ending! I feel that a book that is part of a series should still have an ending. This was more of a "to be continued" like you have in two part television series but the sequel is nowhere in sight. A bombshell is dropped on the characters (actually more than one) and part of the group is separated from the rest, oh and they are being pursued into the wilderness and BAM! the book ends. Not cool Linda Sue, not cool.

Talk about coincidence! I planned to read the Word & Void trilogy early this year as it's been on my shelf for far too long and a coworker from my last job (3+ years ago) recommended it. Add that we recently started to watch The Shannara Chronicles (IMDB link) and my interest in Brooks' work increased. So when I started reading this and found out it's a distant part of the Shannara universe my mind was blown!
I asked advice on whether to even consider the Shannara super-series and I find out I've backed myself into it inadvertently. Again, Mind. Blown. Although this is the eleventh book published connected to Shannara, it is the first in story chronology. I have no idea how many I will read, but I will most definitely finish out this trilogy as I was sucked in within the first few pages!

|Display the Google Calendar
options page by clicking the Google Calendar tab on the
Preferences dialogue.
It is also available through the menu: Options | Preferences
It is also available through the toolbar: Pref.
This is a convenient way to have brothers who have mobile devices to be kept up to date with talk information. The alternative is to use the Send to Microsoft Outlook facility. You need the Microsoft 4.5.1 (or higher) .NET Framework installed (it should have been done during installation if it was needed).
Here are just a few reasons why you might prefer to synchronize your talk information with a Google calendar:
Your brothers can check on Chairman, Reader, etc., assignments easily.
You can have KH Phone # and Coordinators Phone # available when traveling to a talk assignment if you need to contact them.
From a Talk Coordinator viewpoint, you might get calls about switching dates or brothers when you are not near your computer. With your schedule right on your phone you can at least see who goes where and when. Ofcourse, you can't make changes directly from the calendar.
Here are some points to remember about Google Calendar:
Make a separate Calendar just for Public Talks and Service Meetings so that your personal info is not shared with other brothers if you choose to share the calendar.
Don't make changes in Google thinking they will also be made in Public Talks, because it doesn't update that way.
You can still have your calendar set as Private in the General Settings but if the individual events are set to public they can be viewed by those you choose to share it with. That way you calendar won't show up in Google search result on the web.
|Switch on this setting if you would like Public
Talks to keep your Google Calendar up to date automatically. This
will affect the following database operations:
- Adding new talk assignments
- Modifying existing talk assignments
- Deleting talk assignments
- Rearranging talk assignments
There is a small delay whilst the calendar is updated. If you prefer, you can switch this setting off and perform a manual update of all assignments from the Home / Away maintenance page.
|You need to authenticate Public Talks to work with your Google Calendar. Note that if you have already done it with the Meeting Schedule Assistant application then you won't need to do it again. There is a dedicated help topic providing an overview about the authentification process. Please familiarize yourself with it.
|Once you have completed the authorization
process you should see a list of available calendars to use.
Select the calendar that you would like to use Public Talks with. All your events will be maintained using this calendar.
|This setting
affects the visbility of the events when they are added into your
Google calendar. For example, if the setting is
on, then the Privacy section of the event in
Google will be set thus:
You can include additional information from the database with each event. It is assumed that you would probably want to include the phone numbers.
Just select the fields as required. If you are not interested in including this information you can set it to <Do not send>.
Note, the drop list displayed uses your own memo label descriptions. So don't be alarmed if the wording listed on your dialogue is not the same.
You can set reminder alerts for the events that are added to your Google Calendar. Note that Public Talks does not currently support all of the functionality available for reminder alerts.
|Whenever you make changes to the settings you should click Apply changes. This will save your preferences!

I think it's day 23? Man, only a week to go. That's pretty awesome.
So, there's definitely a correlation for me between making progress toward a weight goal and shopping and other sorts of body modification. In the last few weeks I seem to have channeled my… antidiscipline? toward my spending habits. New (expensive) shoes and sunglasses, a few cosmetics items. Had my hair dyed super light blonde, and I really am considering getting another tattoo when my bestie comes to visit next month. That last bit is pretty funny. I only have one tattoo that I got a few months ago, and I swore I'd never get another one- because that shit hurts like hell. I really want a tiny, tiny white one though. I'm nothing if not consistent. Wait, that's not right.
Anyway, part of this, I'm sure, is the fact that over the last few months I've been very meticulous about my spending habits because of the whole not having a job thing. I've got some money coming in now, though, so I guess I loosened the reigns a bit on myself. I think the rest of it is trying to affect some sort of more visible change to go with the whole healthy eating thing. Whatever, shopping is fun.
One week to go!
(I haven't checked this. If I'm wrong, I'm going to be so sad. Unless I'm wrong the right way.)

Dimitris was born in Greece, a few years after his stepbrother Axel was born. Dimitris grew up with Axel in bad sittuations. Dimitri's stayed with Axel's grandparents after Axel's parents were dead and Dimitris's parents dumbed him with Axel.
January 13th, 1998
I was 7 years old back then, but I remember everything from that day.. It was the first day me and Axel went for a walk alone outside of our house. Gran'ma and Grandpa were sleeping and we took a sneak peak outside. It was about 3 o' clock and the neighborhood we used to live wasn't the best. After a couple of minutes walking around in our house's yard, we heard some talkings from outside of the fence. The fence was big and tall for us and we couldn't see what was happening. Suddenly, 2 men in black jumped from the fence and the first thing they saw was me and Axel. They hit us with a gun, even though I can't remember what gun was it, and entered inside the house.After seconds, we heard 4 to 5 shots. Me and Axel were terrified and went inside to take a look of what happened. In a sudden, we see one of the robbers down, covered in blood and our grandmother aswell. Grandpa killed the one, but the other jumped from a window and escaped.
March 4th, 2005
Years have passed since Grandma was killed. We knew what was going on in these streets, what we were about to face, everything. Axel was about 15 and I was about 14 when I saw my brother smuggling drugs and making drug money. I wanted to see what was this, what was that, I was a really qurious person, but Axel didn't let me see nothing. All I remember from that day, was Axel grabbing a small bag of Marijuanna from his backpocket, approaching a group of 3 and attempts passing them it. Seconds later, he tricks them and starts running towards me. We had a long run that day since the ammount of marijuana was about 20 grams. We hid inside an open garage, under a Lincoln Town Car and waited there. We saw the 3 people passing by and one was holding a gun on his hands. It looked like the robber's gun, a Glock.17. After this, we headed home and chilled watching cartoons while we hid the marijuana from our grandpa'.
June 15th, 2009
Axel decides to leave Greece and go to LS, to continue smuggling drugs and weapons, as he heard that LS was the land of opportunity. I didn't go with him, because I wasn't feeling ready to move into a foreign place, so I stayed here, even more unprotected than I was before. I took a walk out after leaving Axel on the airport. This day was the first day I met about Motorcycle clubs and stuff like that. It was the day I fell in love with the biker's life. I really liked it because it was something way different than the crap I was living into. Gangsters here and there, smuggling all the time, killings here and there like it's nothing. I researched for any MC's around my local area and found one of the greatest MC's in Greece, The Greek-AmeriKan MC. I became a part of it and I realised that this life was the one I ever wanted to have.
April 20th, 2011
I was already a Sgt. at Arms in the Greek AmeriKan MC, driving a CWW, black with fire tattoos all over it. We were all chiling inside our pub and in all of a sudden, fire catches and the pub was burnt down, including our bikes. Hells Angels MC were the ones who caused this, as they, the so called best MC in Greece, saw that this MC was going really well, they decided to take action in their hands.
July 1st, 2011
After the MC was burnt down, we broke as an MC, we decided to close the chapter, after one last thing. Payback time. We gathered 40 people from the club, all having bats, molotovs, shanks, every possible melee weapon you can imagine. We went outside the closest Hells Angels MC and smashed everything and everyone that was inside it. Then, the number one, in my "most hated list" appears. Police. We were so mad, violent and angry back then, that we fucked both cops and Hells at the same place. I grabbed an iron bat from the ground and smashed it into one cop's head when the fight occured, stomped on a Hells Angels man's skull. It was a great day.
October 2nd, 2013
After having the chapter destroyed, I decided to leave to Los Santos too. I told grandpa' a simple goodbye, because I don't like too much drama. It was 9am. and I was at the airport waiting for the plane to come. It took me one whole day to reach LS and as soon as I reached it, I searched everywhere to find my stepbrother's house and I found it! I knocked on his house and he opened, pointing a gun on my head and dragging me in. He didn't recognise me in the beggining and after having Bloods, Mexicans and the Police after him for being an O.G in Exton Crip Gang, I didn't blame him for pointing that gun on me. I told him if I could stay there and he said yes right away. He told me if I was interested to join his set, but I was interested in finding another MC to chill with. The only problem was that, no MC set was accepting me because I'm black and an Anti-Nazi person.
November 1st, 2013
I searched on the internet a Club called Khans MC and as I saw on their info I kept only two words: "Anarchists, Non-Racists". By the first day I got there, I met a guy named AK'. AK is a great Russian guy. We rolled that day for hours, fixing cars and meeting each other better. I can't wait to be a part of their crew, can't wait to live as a biker again and not be afraid to join an MC because they're all nazist fucks.

I think you kinda should change your IC'LY age or part of your story because there's no way you became a Sergeant At Arms at age 16(born in '93 and patched in '09) because MC's usually let people join at age 18-21 and prospecting IRL takes at least half a year-year

Nicola Sturgeon's favourite fashion designers have been ordered to pay compensation to a groom's mother in a wrangle over a botched wedding outfit.
Totty Rocks was ordered to £300 pounds to Pamela Roberts today over claims the company "ruined" her dress for her son's big day.
A sheriff became so frustrated by the feuding parties' entrenched position that he ordered them to a side room with a mediator to discuss the case.
The Edinburgh-based boutique - which is also a favourite of TV stars Lorraine Kelly and Gok Wan, model Kate Moss and singer Sandi Thom - eventually accepted liability.
READ MORE: A guide to Totty Rocks, Nicola Sturgeon's go-to fashion brand
Sheriff William Wood ordered the company, which has created several outfits for the First Minister, to pay £300 but gave them nine weeks to do so after they claimed not to make much money.
Pamela Roberts, 62, alleged she had been left more than £600 out of pocket after Totty Rocks messed up crucial alterations to her dress last September.
She told a small claims action at Perth Sheriff Court that the incident had left her only three weeks to find a replacement outfit and accessories for the wedding.
She said: "The dress was given to me in a very bad state for my son's wedding and I couldn't wear it. It's a complete mess.
"I am hoping to be reimbursed for the cost of the dress and all the accessories I had to buy with it."
She said she had to purchase another dress for £175 along with a new bag, a pair of shoes and a fascinator for her hair.
Mrs Roberts, of Crieff, Perthshire, had initially asked Totty Rocks to make her a dress from scratch, but after discussions with the shop, she asked them to make a bespoke alteration to a pre-bought dress.
She bought a blue outfit and asked them to add a fabric top, beading and buttons in time for the wedding last October.
However, she claimed in court that she was unable to wear the altered dress as it had been left with holes in the back, arms that were too short, misaligned buttons and poor general finishing.
Totty Rocks were set up by designers Holly Mitchell and Lynsey Blackburn.
Outside court, Ms Blackburn said: "We provide a service every day for women from 18 to 85 years old and never in ten years have we had any dispute. It was definitely not merited in this case. If anything, we are the ones who are owed money. We were more than happy to try and resolve the issue."

A Leahy Family Christmas with the NAC Orchestra takes to the stage on December 18 in Southam Hall of the National Arts Centre
Additional seats now available due to audience demand!
OTTAWA, December 7, 2009 — A Leahy Family Christmas with the NAC Orchestra – a unique holiday concert during the NAC's 40th Anniversary season – unites Canadian musical powerhouse family Leahy with conductor Stéphane Laforest, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, and the Ottawa Regional Youth Choir, under the direction of Kevin Reeves. A Leahy Family Christmas with the NAC Orchestra will be performed in Southam Hall of the National Arts Centre on Friday December 18 at 7 p.m. (please note early curtain time). This concert has been in such demand with music-lovers that the front rows of Southam Hall have been slightly reconfigured, adding over 100 seats to the hall's capacity. Tickets for these seats are available now.
The eight award-winning brothers and sisters of Leahy have been making music together their entire lives. This year, they invite you to join them for A Leahy Family Christmas with the NAC Orchestra -- where you'll feel just like one of the gang at a festive family gathering back home in Lakefield, Ontario. The step-dancing, fiddle-playing, song-singing Leahy family, together with the NAC Orchestra and the Ottawa Regional Youth Choir, promise a full spectrum of Christmas music, from sacred hymns and slow airs to fiery Celtic tunes and best-loved carols. It's sure to be an exhilarating Christmas adventure!
Embarking on this tour gives the members of Leahy the chance to share a bit of the enchantment of the Christmas season that began when they were children and still continues today. Family Christmas traditions included not only honoring the sacredness of the season, but also partaking of good food, the company of family and friends – and, always, copious amounts of music. A Leahy Family Christmas with the NAC Orchestra offers audiences a peek in the window of the Leahy home to experience a bit of the magic of the season for themselves.
The Leahy family consists of Donnell (fiddle), Doug (fiddle), Angus (fiddle), Frank Jr. (drums), Siobheann (bass, vocals, dance), Denise (guitar, vocals, dance), Maria (guitar, vocals, dance), and Erin (piano, vocals, dance).

The concert will feature selections such as A Christmas Festival, The Huron Christmas Carol, Christmas in Killarney, and a special Christmas sing-along medley.
On recent tours, audiences have learned that these instrumentalists, singers, and dancers bring a rare level of originality and musicianship to the stage. This originality includes music that Leahy writes, arranges, and produces. Known for their unique blend of musical styles and genres, their repertoire is more distinct than ever. The band's four acclaimed CDs – Leahy, Lakefield, In All Things, and Live – have world-wide sales of over half a million copies.

I am having a pool built. Is this a good time to have a Solar Survey?
Yes, A Solar Survey before you build your pool can save you $100's in installation cost. Sunrise Solar will work closely with the pool builder to greatly reduce installation cost.
Will a FAFCO Solar System heat my pool?
A Solar Survey by Sunrise Solar is designed to provide a Solar Heating system to heat your pool water with 80°+ F for 8 months of the year. During the coldest months of the year, November, December, January, and February, the Solar system will continue to heat your pool as long as the air temperature is 60°F to 70°F during to day. The solar heated pool will typically be at least 10-15 degrees warmer than an unheated pool. During freezing conditions the solar systems should be shut down.
How can a FAFCO solar system COOL my pool?
During the hot summer months with 100°F days, some pools get to warm for comfortable swimming. Running the solar system at night can cool a pool to a more refreshing swimming temperature - down several degrees in one night if the conditions are right.
What does a FAFCO solar system cost to operate?
The Solar heating system uses your existing pump to operate, there is almost no increase in operating cost, generally less than $1 per month. Gas can cost an average of $500 per month in increased operating cost and Electricity can cost an average of $300 per month in increased operating cost.
Can I use the solar heating system for my swimming pool and household hot water?
No. A Solar heating system for your pool is designed specifically for your pool. Domestic Hot water systems use household water and are totally separate systems.
What about tornadoes, hail and strong wind storms?
Our installation procedures are designed and have been approved to withstand strong winds and have been tested in a wind tunnel at winds up to 120 miles per hour. The solar collectors will resist hail damage. Installations have survived hail damage that has ruined the shingles of the roof. Most household insurance policies cover the solar collectors.
My roof has been damaged by hail and will need to be replaced.
Our FAFCO Systems are installed so they can be quickly removed and later reinstall them at very low cost. If the roof is damaged by hail most homeowners insurance cover the cost of removal and reinstallation. If you are waiting to have your roof replaced, we will remove and reinstall the solar panels at no charge for up to 1 year. If later than 1 year, it can be reinstalled at a very low cost.
What if I already have a gas or electric pool heater for my spa?
As you already know the cost of heating your pool with a gas or electric heater can be prohibitively expensive. Our solar system can be used to pre-heat your spa or your pool to minimize the cost of additional heat. In this way, you can usually enjoy a warm pool regardless of the weather, and save about 80% of the cost of heating with the existing heater.

More than 35 years ago Palecek began designing distinctive rattan and wicker items with one goal in mind, to create unique pieces of art from natural fibers. As the Palecek's traveled the world, they developed a network of master artisans, drawing inspiration from the indigenous peoples and their use of quickly renewable materials. Palecek's desire to mix an international palette of natural fibers into elegant furniture, lighting and accessories has made Palecek furniture and accesorries a trendsetter and pioneer in the use of fast-growing hardwoods, seagrass and rattan weaves. Their extensive line of award winning, handcrafted and eco-conscious designs are conceived in their domestic San Francisco Bay Area headquarters. It is here that Palecek master technicians upholster and finish your pieces, allowing Palecek to be your domestic design resource. As Palecek's Vice President, Andrew's passion for design and sophisticated style will continue the Palecek legacy, bringing distinctive designs to the market.
Palecek began as a basket company in the San Francisco Bay Area. The expertly woven baskets drew steady admirers, which grew into loyal customers, and an expanding product line. The Palecek family also grew, as Allan and his wife Nancy had two children, Andrew and Karey. The entire family is now involved with all aspects of the business, with Andrew and Allan acting as the key product design team.
Palecek's Eco-Commitment
Palecek believes that "green" is a process, not a destination. They acknowledge that ours is a resource-intensive industry that necessitates a balance of style and sustainability. As standards continue to evolve, the Paleceks consistently strive to use sources that are gentle on both the environment and the people who work within it. That's why the Palecek woods are largely plantation grown, and they use abundant, quickly renewable materials like rattan, abaca, and seagrass. Palecek also rely on water-based finishes in our line of paintable furniture, making them safer for your family, and our employees. The concern for the environment extends beyond the products they manufacture and into how they conduct business. Palecek offices, showrooms, and warehouses all reflect our growing commitment to the "green process," as the Palecek's implement more ways to conserve energy and resources, recycle materials, and educate customers on the steps they are taking so that they are inspired to do the same.

Mass-Spring-Damper System Modeling
Consider an ideal mass-spring-damper system with mass m (in kg
, spring constant k (in N/m) and damping coefficient R (in N-s/m).
This system can be described with the following formula:
. We use the ode function to define the equation of motion and the initial conditions.
f1 := ode({m*x''(t) + R*x'(t) + k*x(t), x(0) = 0 , x'(0) = 1}, x(t))
Assuming m = 10, R = 1 and k = 10, the equation can be re-written as
. We substitute these values in our differential equation expression and solve the equation.
f2 := subs(f1, m = 10 , R = 1 , k = 10)
f3 := solve(f2);
As we can see above, the solution has an exponential decay term and a sinusoidal term. This implies that the system will show an underdamped response to a perturbation, as can be seen in the Figure 1 below.
p := plot::Point2d([t, f3[1]], t=0..50):
c := plot::Curve2d([t,f3[1]], t = 0..a, a= 0..50):
Note that Figure 1 was customized by modifying line properties and adding a title within the notebook interface's object browser. These properties could have also been specified programmatically in the plot commands above.
Figure 2 shows an animation of the oscillating mass. This animation was created in a separate notebook and copied into this notebook. The ability to copy graphics and animations between notebooks is useful when users wish to document supporting analysis without having the code displayed in the notebook.
The code used to create this animation is available here.
Frequency response analysis
We will now analyze the frequency response of our mass-spring-damper system. We begin by deriving the Laplace transform of our mass-spring-damper system, and then generate Bode plots (magnitude vs. frequency and phase vs. frequency). We perform these tasks within a custom function called FreqResp, which outputs the bode plots for a given ODE input. The Bode plot indicates that the cutoff frequency of our mass-spring-damper system is approximately 1 rad/sec.
fn := 10*x''(t) + x'(t) + 10*x(t) - h(t):

So, Jeremy Corbyn doesn't support Scottish Independence, specifically he doesn't support the idea of another referendum any time soon. He made these remarks in Dundee on Thursday night, though he has said previously that the issue is a matter to be decided by the Scottish people.
The phenomenon that is Corbynmania has two faces. One is what is actually happening on the ground with meetings of hundreds and thousands the length and breadth of the British Isles and a wave of grass roots activism that has been absent in this scale for some time.
The second is the attempt by the media to reduce it to the sort of slogans and soundbites politics they are comfortable with. Thus Corbyn is either hero or villain, everything or nothing, presented in a binary form to love or hate. This is old-style party politics where you sign up for everything or not at all.
If you view Scottish Independence solely through the prism of SNP dominance then you're missing the point of the Yes movement. It was its diversity encompassing people of many parties and none that got us as far as we did. It was the idea that independence was the vehicle, not the destination that allowed the sense of common purpose to unite people, and, most importantly, show that politics itself could be different.
It is against this that any measure of Corbyn has to be judged. So, let's get back to the main question here. Is Corbyn's opposition / indifference / misunderstanding of Scottish Independence a reason not to welcome the movement that is growing around him? To equate a movement with one individual and one individual's views on one subject is flawed. At the heart of this, and Corbyn has said this himself, is to get away from a situation where policies are handed down from on high and merely rubber stamped by the party at large.
The potential here is therefore not about a rebuilt Labour Party as we currently know it but something fundamentally different. Where do Corbyn's personal views on Scottish independence sit within this movement? I would argue that in a culture that is bottom up, active opposition to independence is an unlikely priority.
But what of Scottish Labour? As Cailean Gallagher said in an article on Common Space recently, "The remnants of Scottish Labour are more New Labourite than ever". Any hopes of Scottish Labour rediscovering itself are misplaced. That boat sailed some time ago and was ultimately sunk by the Referendum and its aftermath.
The Left in Scotland are currently scattered. Some are in the SNP, others in the Greens, SSP and other left parties. Many are simply not members of anything, though they may be active in non-party politics. That latter category includes me.
As for what happen following the Labour leadership result, there are a number of scenarios. A strong possibility has to be a split. The genie is out of the bottle as to what might be.
As we move forward with the Scottish Left Project, not seeing the potential for allies within a reinvigorated Labour movement south of the border would be folly. That is not to say that it will be easy but it will be a debate worth having.

Round Spport Ring

This is a replacement after 20 some uses of first ring. It is very comfortable to wear and does the job.
Good Product.

All I can say is it does its job. Keeps a firm erection and is not hard to put on. I've only tried size 3 or 4 and I wouldn't recommend any size smaller than that.

I love these rings as they help me still share intimacy with my spouse.
It works!
Posted by Unknown on 28th Jan 2018
Excellent product just make sure you get it in a size 3 or 4.
Only because the size I ordered was too small, and the measurements given are very hard to measure...
Posted by Kid on 15th Sep 2017
I ordered a "medium" size because, well, I am certainly not in the category of "large" (but that would be nice!). Anyway, the "medium" size nearly sheared off my penis as the base, so be very careful about the size you order. The last time I ordered from rejoyn, it was sizes A, B, C, and D. There was no mm. Here's hoping I won't have to worry about a medium and an amputation. There must be a better way to figure out the sizes, since I used a metric ruler, and even the extra large is MUCH smaller than the largest ring they used to offer, so... be very careful before you order, or you will have to order again as I am.
Thanks forgreat products

These rings has helped our marriage keep, enjoy and greatly enhance our intimacy. My husband and I love them.
It just works...

I was reluctant in writing a review on a ED ring. Needless to say, not everyone would talk openly about the issues with having ED. My doctor let me try just about every option, including injections. The pump option take alittle to get use to, but it does work. These rings are soft and holds an erection well. I suggest trying a couple sizes. I tried the medium and it was smaller than expected. I'm certainly not large, but the large worked for me.
It works!!!
Posted by Jerome on 18th Oct 2012
This product worked very well! I would recommend for anyone that has issues with ED. Give it a TRY!
