Greetings All!
This is my last post stamping with the 2true metallics. OK, that isn't quite true. I will be using them again in the future, because they stamp really well! I have a separate area for polishes that stamp that I only use for stamping - my Konads, a few Sally Hansen Insta Dris, these, Barry M Foils, and Barry M Gelly in Plum, because it's a bit dark as a polish, but a perfect purple when stamping! All my other polishes that stamp are mixed in with the main collection in my two helmers. I guess that's why I mainly use the same few colours for stamping - easy access. I need to 'mark' my bottles in some way, so I can remember which ones stamp! It also just occurred to me that I have the Color Club Foiled collection untried (thank you TK Maxx!), and I've heard that they're quite good for stamping. A girl can never have too many polishes. That stamp.
Anyway, today I'm showing you Aglaia, a metallic tealy green.
It in't quite as vivid as in the bottle, and of the five it stamped the least well, but that may very well be my fault. I pretend to be good sometimes but I'm still quite an amateur stamper, so the slight patchiness isn't necessarily a reflection on the polish. I stamped Pueen33 over Essie Don't Sweater It. I thought that it would look more...natural, green and brown together. It's a bit washed out though.
You can buy 2true polishes in Superdrug. The Metallica range are £4 each.

You might not recognise the name Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (Thor, for short, because no one outside of Iceland knows how to say it), but anyone who has so much as blinked at a series of Game of Thrones will be familiar with his work.
Cast as Gregor 'The Mountain' Clegane from season three (Mark "Conan" Stevens got the gig for season one, while Ian Whyte was glimpsed in season two), Thor is also a professional strongman - coming second in the 2014 World's Strongest Man competition. He also broke an ancient Viking world record last year, for giggles.
You can now add "Top Prankster" to his bulging CV.
For reasons that are yet to become clear, the strongman has released an advert for his own brand of sparkling water, 'Heavy Bubbles'. Sure, it's an April Fools' joke, but we've no idea which brand has put him up to it. The accompanying website contains no information about the product, while the only small print in the advert is superbly mocking: Heavy Bubbles are very heavy. Please advise a family doctor before use. Don't believe everything on the internet.
We don't know why Thor has gone to the effort of making this, but we're glad he has.

CARP members: If a lifestyle change, career change or retirement will mean the end of your employer-sponsored health plan, we've made it easy and affordable to help protect yourself by protecting your benefits.
What's more, your public health plans may not cover the full cost for many health services – expenses that could cost you thousands of dollars each year. The FollowMe™ Health Insurance Plan can be the solution.
Dental care, vision care, and prescription drugs are just a few of the benefits that may receive limited coverage from a government health plan.
To find out what your province or territory may or may not pay for, we've provided links for all provincial and territorial health insurance plan websites.
For full details on the covered products and services, coverage levels and eligibility criteria in your province or territory, Click Here.
As CARP's recommended insurance provider, we have a responsibility to help you make an informed buying decision. No matter which insurance product you require, or provider you choose, our best advice is to educate yourself before you buy. That's why we offer information that will help you review programs "apples-to-apples".
Provincial plans may not cover full costs for some health care expenses. Without an employer-sponsored health plan, you could be paying thousands of dollars out-of-pocket each year for the services you require.
Supplemental health and dental insurance is a cost-effective way to pay for expenses incurred when you see a health care professional or buy qualified benefits. Plans vary greatly, because coverage of non-core services differs from province to province, and because insurers may offer various levels and types of benefits. In addition, eligibility criteria may vary from plan to plan.
Benefits that may receive limited coverage from a government health plan can include dental care, vision care, and prescription drugs. To find out what your province may and may not pay for, details on the covered products and services, coverage levels and eligibility criteria are posted on all provincial and territorial health insurance plan websites.
GREAT RESOURCE: The Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association posted a helpful "Guide to supplementary health insurance" on their website: www.clhia.ca
A FINAL WORD: The McLennan Group urges you to be certain the program selected is right for your needs. Always read the fine print and ask questions before you buy, because insurance without proper coverage is like having no insurance at all. Remember, your protection is our priority.

Forum Island Countries Spokesman Denounces Criticism Of PACER Plus Trade Plan
Pacific Network on Globalisation 'does not speak for the FICs'
NUKU'ALOFA, Tonga (Matangi Tonga, June 16, 2016) – Leading spokespersons for the Forum Island Countries on PACER Plus have come out slamming a PANG assessment they say is a "lopsided and inaccurate view" on PACER Plus, that was commissioned by the Pacific Network on Globalisation (PANG).
In a statement issued through the Office of the Chief Trade Adviser (OCTA) today, they refuted the PANG claims made earlier this week. "PANG does not speak for the FICs and we do not share their lopsided and inaccurate view on the PACER Plus negotiations or [their] conclusions."
Joseph Ma'ahanua, Lead Spokesperson for the FICs on PACER Plus and his deputy spokespersons, Tessie Lambourne and Kulu Bloomfield, stated that outdated negotiating texts were used by PANG to carry out the assessment and that it cannot be taken seriously because it was conducted without access to the Parties' draft commitments on trade in goods, trade in services and investment.
PANG recently urged Pacific island countries to walk away from PACER Plus trade talks, warning it could lead to serious implications for Pacific island countries concering gender, health, food and national sovereignty, after it completed an assessment of the agreement based on leaked negotiating text.
In response the FICs spokes persons said opportunities were available to clarify the misconceptions about PACER Plus and that Non-State Actors (NSAs) were invited to attend the recent Sixth NSA Dialogue Workshop held between 10-11 June 2016 in Nadi, Fiji. However, they also claimed that PANG "refuses to participate and is spreading false information", undermining the positions of the FICs in the negotiations.
"It is highly unfortunate and regrettable that PANG takes the view that the negotiators of the FICs are ignorant and are being railroaded by Australia and New Zealand into accepting their positions in the negotiations"
The FIC assured PANG and other NSAs they are in full control of the negotiations and are effectively advancing Pacific island interests with support from the Office of the Chief Trade Adviser.
Special treatment
Issues raised by PANG regarding gender, health, food and national sovereignty have been quashed by FIC with several special and differential treatment provisions in the PACER Plus agreement in favour of the FICs. These include conditions under the Trade in Goods section of FICs being able to change or withdraw tariff commitments by offering (as compensation) lower duties on agreed products of the affected countries; and accessing a transitional safeguard measure which would let FICs temporarily increase trariffs to deal with import surges if any threat arises that may cause or causes serious injury to domestic industries. FIC says it took into consideration products which generate alot of revenue for Pacific island governments, the need to protect Pacific island infant industries from competition and the need to safeguard the health of Pacific island citizens.
Under the Trade in Services and Investment of the agreement, each FIC is free to choose the sectors in which it wants to give commitments and also place limitations on the commitments assumed by them such as with foreign ownership of land where most FICs prefer foreigners only lease and not own land.
FICs stated that because Pacific island countries are marginalized in world trade, they need foreign direct investment in key sectors of their economies to be able to play a greater role in the global economy and PACER Plus will help to achieve this goal.
Australia and New Zealand have also assisted FICs with seasonal work programmes with both countries increasing the labour cap and expanding the programme to other sectors. Both countries have committed to financing and providing technical assistance to FICs to implement PACER Plus as well as address infrastructure challenges and other challenges that impede FICs efforts to increase and diversify exports in order to play a bigger role in international trade.
FICs spokerspersons believe that PACER Plus is a trade and development agreement that puts the interests of the FICs at its core.

Why are we here? I ask myself that question often. In short, I feel that I am called to this career in music therapy and the business that I run. I bet you feel called, too. And I imagine you and I have some things in common.
Music Therapy Love
I love music therapy. It's the only job I want to do. I've been a board-certified music therapist since 2004, and I have spent my entire career in private practice. I chose private practice because I wanted to move back home to Newton, Kansas, and there weren't any music therapy jobs on offer there. I wanted to spend my days doing music therapy, so I knew I'd have to chart my own course.
…do you need to make your own way to do the work you love?
A Personal Life, Too
I also want to be ready to take on new professional and personal adventures as they come. For me, two big adventures were getting married and becoming a mom. I moved to Kansas City for my then-husband's job, which meant starting from scratch in building a business. When my daughters came along a few years later, I wanted the flexibility to take time off for maternity leave and to work part-time during their baby days. It's important to me to have a flexible schedule so I can pursue new projects and opportunities as a music therapist and as a mom.
…do you need flexibility in your life?
Being in private practice is not easy. I've seen contracts and clients come and go. I've seen my income dip and soar. I've seen shifts in the economy and in the eldercare industry that have made finding and maintaining contracts and clients difficult at times. I've worked in a variety of settings with folks from all walks of life, and I've made plenty of mistakes along the way. Fortunately, every success and every failure teaches me something new.
…are you scared of the challenges that lie ahead? Worried about screwing up?
On Not Reinventing The Wheel
Recently, I tried to calculate how many hours I've spent doing market research, how many meetings I've taken and connections I've made, how many presentations I've developed and given, and how many clients and agencies I've served. Conclusion: It's a lot. A lot of hard work to create something of which I am so proud, a business – and a life – that I love.
There is nothing I want more than to help you develop a music therapy practice that you love, too. I want to give you as much of the knowledge and insight and material that I can, so your path will be easier.
My Story:
I heard about music therapy when I was a junior in high school, and I knew immediately that it was the profession for me. I earned my bachelor of music in music therapy from the University of Evansville and completed my internship at MusicWorx of California. I opened Soundscape Music Therapy in Wichita, Kansas in 2004 and spent four years there serving in nursing homes, hospice, and residential treatment for children and adolescents. I also worked in inpatient psychiatric care and taught guitar and piano lessons. That's also where I started my master's program in music therapy through Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College.
I moved my practice to Kansas City in 2008. I built my own practice here while also subcontracting with another music therapy company. I've worked in the schools for students with severe disabilities, and privately with students with autism under a state-funded program. I've also worked in early childhood and with adults who have intellectual disabilities. When I became a mom in 2010 (right after finishing that master's degree), I decided to streamline my practice so that I could work with the populations I serve best.
These days, I work with adults and older adults in senior living, community-based settings, hospice, and private home visits. I also teach music and wellness classes and private music lessons for well adults. I spend a ton of time learning about the eldercare industry and networking with eldercare professionals in my community and online. My vision is to have MUSIC available to older adults wherever they are and whatever stage of health they find themselves in. To that end, I want to help music therapists find the clients that need them, and I want to help professional and family caregivers learn to use music well in their caregiving relationships.
I'm also a fierce advocate for music therapy. I serve on the government relations committee for AMTA, and am on the Missouri State Task Force for state recognition of our profession. I serve as president for the Kansas City Metro Music Therapists and on the board for the Kansas City Partnership for Caregivers. I'm also adjunct faculty at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, teaching in the Music Therapy Equivalency Distance program.

Early life and career
Gottfredson was born into a large Mormon family in Kaysville, Utah. The three brothers and four sisters traced their roots to their great-grandfather who had immigrated to the United States from Denmark in the 1840s. As a child, Floyd severely injured his arm in a hunting accident. Housebound during a long recovery, he became interested in cartooning and took several cartooning correspondence courses. By the late 1920s, he was drawing cartoons for trade magazines and the Salt Lake City Telegram newspaper.
After achieving second place in a 1928 cartoon contest, the 23-year-old Gottfredson moved to Southern California with his wife and family, just before Christmas. At the time, there were seven major newspapers in the area, but he was unable to find work with any. One job he'd held in Utah, however, was as a movie projectionist and he found employment in that field in California. A year later, the movie theater where he'd been working was torn down, resulting in another job search and the profession of a lifetime.
Mickey Mouse
Walt Disney Productions hired Gottfredson as an apprentice animator and in-betweener on December 19, 1929. In April 1930 he started working on the four-month-old Mickey Mouse comic strip. It had originally been scripted by Walt Disney and drawn by Ub Iwerks who was succeeded by Win Smith. In May, Disney had Gottfredson assigned to the daily strip, promising it would be only a temporary arrangement until someone else could be found to take over. As it turned out, Gottfredson continued to produce the Mickey Mouse strips for the next 45 years.
Gottfredson's first daily strip was published in newspapers on his 25th birthday, May 5, 1930. On January 17, 1932 he began work on the newly inaugurated Mickey Mouse color Sunday strip which, in addition to the daily, he continued through mid-1938.
Originally, Gottfredson drew the strips alone, but in 1934 he pulled back to plotting the stories and doing the penciling. Scripts were written by Ted Osborne (1934–49), Merrill De Maris (1934–42), Dick Shaw (1942–43), Bill Walsh (1943–64), Roy Williams (1964), and Del Connell (1968–82).[1] There were a variety of inkers, including Al Taliaferro in the 1930s, until Gottfredson returned to inking the strips himself in 1943.
From the beginning, the strips were parts of long continuing stories. These introduced characters such as Eli Squinch; Mickey's nephews, Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse; Detective Casey, Chief O'Hara, and The Phantom Blot. The stories were always untitled. Titles were usually assigned later, when the strips or pages were reprinted in picture-books or comic books, which the artists had no influence on. For the sake of a better overview, these reprint titles are commonly used today. Starting in 1955, Gottfredson and writer Bill Walsh were instructed to drop the storylines and do only daily gags.
Gottfredson continued illustrating the daily strip until he retired on October 1, 1975. His last one was published on November 15 and his last Sunday strip on September 19, 1976. He did the comic strip for forty-five years.
Reprints and compilations
Gottfredson's Mickey strips were often collected in the 1930s and 1940s. Western Publishing's Big Little Book series based most of its Mickey volumes on the strip; Dell Publishing's Walt Disney's Comics and Stories featured the strips through 1948.
Modern-day American reprints began with "The Bat Bandit" (1935), which reappeared in a 1974 one-shot comic book. Abbeville Press' large size Best Comics anthologies in the late-1970s included two all-Gottfredson volumes (tho one was a "Goofy" volume), though the stories were sometimes relettered and condensed. And in 1980, they did a small-size Best Comics series that included three all-Gottfredson volumes (tho one again was a "Goofy" volume). In 1986, Another Rainbow/Gladstone Publishing began a tradition of serializing Gottfredson stories in regular Disney monthly comic books, which has continued on and off to the present day.
In 2007 Gemstone Publishing announced The Floyd Gottfredson Library, a comprehensive Gottfredson edition that didn't end up being published at the time. In 2011 Fantagraphics Books began publication of the series instead.
In the late 1970s and early 80s, before his health deteriorated, Gottfredson gave interviews to many comics-oriented magazines as well as mainstream publications. The deluxe edition of the book Mickey Mouse in Color included a small record containing an audio interview with Gottfredson and Disney Donald Duck-comic book artist Carl Barks. During the 1970s Gotfredson attended the OrlandoCon and also the 1983 San Diego Comic Book convention.
Gottfredson's work had been printed in newspapers, magazines, and comic books worldwide for over 50 years, but as a Disney employee, he was never allowed to sign it. Gottfredson's identity was finally revealed in the mid-1960s by fan Malcolm Willits. Subsequently, reprints of his Mickey Mouse strips in the 1970s gave him credit.
Floyd Gottfredson died at his home in Southern California at the age of 81. In 2006 Gottfredson was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards' Hall of Fame. He also was awarded an Inkpot Award in 1983.
Fellow Disney Legend Floyd Norman notes the drawing desk Gottfredson used today "occupies a corner in a special room at Disney's Publishing department in Burbank."

In Abraham's day there was confusion as to who actually held the right to priesthood. The Pharaohs claimed they had it from Ham, and Abraham's fathers – who did actually have the right – didn't believe in their own tradition (Abr. 1:27). Abraham said that the right he claimed – known today as the "Abrahamic Covenant" – was the one that "came down from the fathers, from the beginning of time … or the first man, who is Adam, or first father, through the fathers unto me" (Abr. 1:3) – and he had the book to prove it (see Abr. 1:31 and Moses 6).
What was this right, or Covenant?
Abraham explained that it actually began with Adam. According to Genesis, Moses, Alma, etc., after Adam and Eve left the garden angels were sent to teach them the gospel and give them commandments and covenants. In this post I am going to look at what this had to do with Adam and Eve's children, and what connection this may have with Abraham and the Abrahamic Covenant.

Why choose a Small Independent Music Company?
1) Product Knowledge
Smaller companies tend to have fewer employees. Therefore these guys REALLY need to know their stuff in order to do their job well. Smaller companies have a bigger overall picture and more detailed product knowledge.
2) Specialist Options
Whilst the options might be fewer, the quality will be very high and specialised. That's because smaller companies rely on their products working really well as they represent their brand. They will also tend to know their musicians personally, and will have used and worked with them more often.
3) Value for Money
In other industries, bigger companies are cheaper as they sell in bulk. However, with musicians this isn't the case. Musician fees aren't reduced because there are more of them. The fee is the same regardless. So the bigger companies won't be cheaper, in fact they tend to be more expensive as they have bigger administration fees.
4) Personal Contact
Small companies tend to have a tight team. That means you can really get to know and trust them. Meeting up for a coffee to talk over ideas is quite common and it's much better to meet someone and trust them before agreeing to a contract.
5) Support Small Businesses
Buying local and supporting small businesses is great for the community and the economy! Learn more about Small Business Saturday here.

I reply to 99.9% of the e-mails I receive; it might take me a while to get back to some of them, but I eventually make the rounds. I received the following e-mail earlier today and can't make heads or tails of it. I initially thought it was spam because there doesn't seem to be a single coherent thought, much less a coherent sentence, throughout the entire message, but the subject matter made me do a double-take (I've written quite a bit about Sony Ericsson phones on this site, especially the K700i). If you can figure out what this guy is asking, please let me know so that I can reply to him.
Subject: Complaint about K700i or K500i
We are facing this problems continuesly till now. We bought our set before 1 year and we face problems 3 time in our sets. we are very dispointed. We've k700i or K500i. First problem we occurred in my cell in it's joystick which is occured in 5 months when we bought our cell and after some time K700i set again problem face it's display problem after repaired it sony service center and also k500i we face problem it's souds system or it's battery system. we have also some other phone in sony ericsson set which have many problems in different set.
Now we both are very dispointed about sony set. How this is possible if customer is not satisfied to your set. Why I am buy your set and In my knowledge in practicaly there is no benefit in sony ericsson set. It's waste of money because there is so many customer who are not satisfied with ur product. That's not a good business for sony.
So pls. give us a satisfied answer about sony set. What should we do. Thanx

My cousin is a fan of the cartoon 'Adventuretime', and posts screenshots of the main character making bacon pancakes. I saw this and thought GENIUS, pancakes with bacon IN them!
I like the sweet/savory combination of pancakes with bacon and maple syrup which is popular in the US, however, here in Australia this is fairly uncommon. Generally we have a savory breakfast of bacon and eggs, and pancakes tend to be a sweet breakfast . If we have savory pancakes they tend to be of the European crepe style.
I searched for a recipe and found one by Martha Stewart (http://www.marthastewart.com/326883/bacon-pancakes), I also found a reference to a retro Aunt Jemima pancake mix recipe for 'Bacon strip pancakes' (http://www.mrbreakfast.com/superdisplay.asp?recipeid=2853), I think this shape works better, as you get a more even bacon to pancake ratio.
This is a fluffy American style recipe of pancake using the reaction between the buttermilk and the baking soda, thus the mixture can't be made ahead and stored. If you used a milk based, thinner consistency batter, I'm not sure how it would 'hold' the bacon.
I've used what we call 'streaky bacon' in Australia, which is the closest we have to American style bacon strips that get super crispy. If yo prefer to use a leaner cut you could used 'short bacon' and make round pancakes though it wont be as crispy.
Instead of grilling the bacon, I trimmed and removed the rind, and baked it in the oven on a rack to render the fat and get it really crispy and crunchy, cover the bottom of the pan with baking paper to save time on cleaning up (remember when you are keep the pancakes warm in the oven the bacon will lose some crispness). I also used rice bran oil rather than the bacon fat to cook the pancakes (just personal preference).
If you have more mixture than bacon or want to skip the bacon, other toppings could include jam,ice-cream, honey or just maple syrup. Golden syrup and lemon and sugar are traditional Australian/British toppings.
Be sure to get real maple syrup, not maple flavored syrup, which is artificial rubbish.
1 cup of plain flour
2 tbs of white sugar
1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of baking soda
pinch of salt
1 1/4 cups of butter milk
1 egg
2 tbs of melted butter
8 slices of bacon
Maple Syrup to serve
1. Preheat oven to 200c. Trim bacon to your liking and place on a rack, inside a baking tray. Cook for around 20 minutes or until crisp to your liking. Remove bacon and turn oven down to 100c.
2. Meanwhile, in a bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk flour mixture into buttermilk mixture just until moistened, with small to medium lumps remaining.
3. Put a small amount of oil or bacon fat in a fry pan, heat over medium. Pour 1/2 cupfuls batter into fry pan, in long oval shape and top each with a bacon slice. Cook until some bubbles appear on top of pancakes and a few have burst, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip pancakes and cook until browned on underside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Keep pancakes warm in oven and repeat with remaining batter, adding more bacon fat or oil if needed. Serve with pure maple syrup if desired.

The quotation, as a whole, reads:
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world." -- Buddha
And there's a version that has "the" world instead of "our", but I prefer the idea that it's our world that we are, each one of us, constantly creating, changing, evolving, and choosing to live in.
Here are a few of the in-progress shots I remembered to take while drawing and painting ...

Vika Shumskaya | Salt Water Book. Part 1.
Vika Shumskaya "Salt Water Book. Part 1."
In my previous projects, I simulated the chemical processes affecting photographs, documents from my family archive. It was destroyed by salt and dust and thus referenced the processes of collective history of the 20th century – its most critical moments, the issues of society's collective memory. I had to work with the memory of a collective body, even on the level of non-linguistic analysis.
In the book Salt Water, I decided that my art should be directly confronted with natural chemical processes, referring to collective erosion and collective amnesia.
Here in Montenegro, Kotor, I began a new part of this big series. Artificially attempting to recreate these natural processes, I subjected my paintings to reactions with the oxygen and salt of the Mediterranean.

And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

I think I have a new favorite ebook reader for OS X. That, my friends, is Ehon. It's meant to be a digital comic book reader and it's a good one, too, able to open comics in CBR and CBZ formats.
But Ehon also supports epub files and there are a number of reasons why it makes a great ebook reader.
It is convenient to have have camera uploads in Dropbox. With camera uploads turned on, whenever you connect a camera or an iPhone, your Mac can automatically copy the photos in the Camera Uploads folder and so that Dropbox can sync the pictures in your Dropbox account.
It is therefore very helpful to know how to turn this on, and when you prefer, how to turn this function off.
Follow these easy steps to turn this function on or off. Continue reading
This is strictly my opinion: the best browsers for the OS X are, in no particular order, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Camino, for me, comes in at number four. All these web browsers are free to download, install, and use.
Clearing the cache is very in Safari. All it takes is a few simple steps.

Ehon is a free and easy to use comic book reader and manager from Kaiju Software. As a digital comic book reader, Ehon supports the following file formats:

Without much fanfare, Apple updated the iBooks Author app a few days ago. Ok, granted the update is a minor one. But if you plan to use your Mac to create books for iOS, then download iBooks Author here (right, assuming you haven't yet).
Wasn't it Google that started it all with the what they called the omnibar in the Google Chrome web browser? Basically, instead of separate fields for the web address bar and the search bar, Google Chrome only had its omnibar. In the omnibar, you can either enter the URL of the website you want to go to or use it to search for whatever it is you're looking for.
In Firefox, it was easy enough to add plugins to install an omnibar plugin. I had the Omnibar plugin for Firefox installed on my old iBook G4 and I find it immensely convenient to use. For Safari users, how do you install an Omnibar?

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST BACKPACKING HAMMOCK TYPE OF HAMMOCK There are 3 different types of hammocks you can choose from depending on how you plan to use it. The PARACHUTE NYLON HAMMOCKS are very durable and resistant. They have a bit of stretch that makes them very comfortable. These are ideal to sleep several nights in a row. They come in single and double models. The ULTRALIGHT HAMMOCKS are compact and made with very light materials. They are designed to be used for fast or lightweight hiking trips. Bear in mind that what you cut weight you lose comfort as well. The EXPEDITION HAMMOCKS are made with high-end materials to provide the maximum protection during backpacking expeditions. They usually come with different accessories like extra guy-lines, a rainfly and a mosquito net. MATERIAL: COTTON OR NYLON Most of the hammocks on the market are made out of one of two materials: cotton or nylon. COTTON HAMMOCKS can be made in more attractive designs due to its weave. However, they are heavy, bulky, and "attract water", providing a poor performance during wet weather (they dry very slow). NYLON HAMMOCKS are the way to go for camping trips. They're lighter, less bulky and the nylon repels water, providing great performance in bad weather. SIZE The length and width of your hammock are normally a matter of personal preferences. If you plan to sleep alone, going for a hammock that is too wide can wrap around you further and make you feel claustrophobic. If you're tall, you should consider getting a hammock that's 8 feet or longer. MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY You should always consider your own weight and the maximum weight capacity of the hammock. There are some extra-large models to suit tall and heavy campers, and double models for those who want to share it with friends or partners. Loading the hammock with more than the recommended maximum weight capacity can reduce the lifespan of the product, and is potentially dangerous. SUSPENSION SYSTEM There are different suspension systems available, but they are normally reduced to a combination of straps and carabiners. Some models don't include these, so make sure to check this out before heading to the mountains. The longer the straps and the more attachment points it has, the better. This gives you more flexibility to work around different types of trees. Use straps that are tree-friendly. These models are normally wider (0.75 inches +), flat and made from nylon of polyester. INSULATION Most hammocks are made with a breathable nylon material to keep you cool during the summer months. However, if you plan to use it in chilly weather you'll need to look at some sort of insulation. Some models come with handy accessories like sleeping pads, underquilts or topquilts. Think about the weather you plan to face and get what you need. ACCESSORIES There are a couple of hammock accessories that can come in handy, depending of the area where you plan to camp. An INTEGRATED MOSQUITO NET might be essential to camp in buggy areas. I couldn't have been happier with my Hennessy while camping in deserted (and buggy!) beaches around the Caribbean and that was because of its mosquito net. Also, if you expect rain in the area where you plan to camp, A RAINFLY is an important accessory to have. I would recommend getting a slightly bigger model and one you can attach to the ground, so it will keep you dry even if the rain comes with side winds.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
On Monday, August 21, a solar eclipse will cross the United States with partial visibility in Arizona with its peak at 10:33 a.m.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) states that at no time during the eclipse should a person look directly at the sun. Exposure of the retina to intense visible light causes damage to the eye's light-sensitive rod and cone cells. The result is a loss of visual function that may be either temporary or permanent, depending on the severity of the damage. The risk to vision is significant because the associated injuries occur without any feeling of pain, and the visual effects do not occur for at least several hours after the damage is done.
For the safety of all students, all WESD schools will be on a mandatory rainy day schedule Monday, August 21. Recess and other outdoor activities will be canceled from 9:15 a.m. to noon to ensure the safety of our students.
We understand that this is an exciting and educational experience. If students and staff
plan on viewing the eclipse, we are recommending that teachers use the NASA livestream, https://www.nasa.gov/eclipselive.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

No Crime Required
Trending today are articles about the IRS seizing accounts that are suspicious and their "god-given" right to seize it without any cause, or any actual crime existent. The word god refers to government-on-duty.
The IRS admits to seizing hundreds of thousands of dollars of private assets, without any proof of illegal activity, merely because there is a law that lets them do it. From the article: "Using a law designed to catch drug traffickers, racketeers and terrorists by tracking their cash, the government has gone after run-of-the-mill business owners and wage earners without so much as an allegation that they have committed serious crimes. The government can take the money without ever filing a criminal complaint, and the owners are left to prove they are innocent. Many give up and settle the case for a portion of their money.
They're going after people who are really not criminals… They're middle-class citizens who have never had any trouble with the law. – David Smith
David Smith is a former federal prosecutor who is now a forfeiture expert and lawyer in Virginia.
The article describes several specific cases, all of which are beyond egregious and are in fact entirely unconstitutional.
Isn't the Bill of Rights very clear about this?
The federal government cannot take private property without just compensation.

Former Houston Dash player Nikki Washington, 25, received a huge homecoming at the Dash's inaugural game and season opener, April 11, against her previous team, Portland Thorns FC. Why do I say former already although the season kicked off just under a month ago? Washington now plays for the Boston Breakers in a trade that has brought Canadian midfielder Kaylyn Kyle to Houston.
But before the Mesquite, TX native returned to the northeast (she played for the Breakers in 2011) , she proudly sported Dash colors. I interviewed Washington after the team's first match to find out more about what it was like to be back in her home state playing in front of two very familiar faces and got her thoughts on what some considered a questionable call in the 90th minute of the game.
The Dash return to action at home, May 3, (sans Washington) against FC Kansas City. Washington won't be back on the pitch in Houston until July, when the Breakers take on her newest old team.

We have stopped selling Blue Bamboo in containers. Sorry. It has proved to be unreliable. However, for in-ground landscaping we can supply freshly dug stock. Ready to re-plant. Just ask.
We offer you Nepalese Blue, (Himalayacalamus porcatus) as a substitute
Drepanostachyum falcatum
Also called, Himalayan Weeping Bamboo
From: The Himalayas
Blue bamboo gets to about 3.5 m. (12′) high, with long, narrow leaves on arching culms. Current years culms are covered with a bluish bloom. Can take temperatures down to -29 °C!
A non-invasive bamboo that makes a wonderful garden feature or privacy screen.
A truly beautiful container plant, suitable for indoors provided it receives good light.
Used for basketery in Nepal.
Blue Bamboo is a forest understory plant so don't plant it in constant full sun. It prefers light shade for most of the day. Trim top once a year in winter and sides as required.
Growing indoors or under cover, mist leaves with water once a week. Sometimes, say monthly add seaweed tonic.
Bamboo flowers rarely, around once in 100 years. After flowering it sets seed then dies.
Blue Bamboo flowered in 1998 / 89.
How fast will it grow?
Of course, growth rate depends a lot on climate, food and water. Blue shoots throughout summer months.
Small plants are slow to get going, so starting off with a bigger plant will get you there much faster.
So what's it cost?

In my recent post, "Who's Your Most Valuable Visitor? Define Your Values and Find Your Success," I discuss the importance of measuring visitor value by your own yardstick. I like the metrics in Patricio Robles' "Five Metrics for Identifying Your Most Valuable Customers"—frequency, average value, lifetime value, sensitivity, and affluence—because they can be applied to all types of organizations and goals.
Alexandra Levit, writing for Forbes, provides a compelling case study in customer value from a Denmark-based shipping company, Maersk Line. Maersk started offering more value to its customers and measured a 350 percent ROI increase in less than a year. The company used "multiple business metrics, including concrete behavior change in customer interactions, impact on the sales pipeline, and impact on the business as a whole," to find concrete proof of increased customer value.
Levit makes a strong argument for measuring value, claiming that "radical transformation requires solid metrics that demonstrate success."
When you start to see higher returns, you need to understand why and communicate this clearly to sales and leadership.

Saiki FlashJuly 23rd, 2016 by Author
I watched an episode of Saiki at Crunchy and thought I'd have a look a little ahead… Went to YouTube, and…. Why was I not informed?!
Apparently, Saiki was animated in "flash anime" before. It's basically like the original manga of One Punch Man. Upload dates are somewhere in 2013. And it's hilarious as all get out. I can't get enough of it!
I have to say though, the voicework is top notch. The so-called "flash" videos are supposed to be made by fans, but it's nothing like Little Karibou (with all due respect to the master). Sounds like they hired professional seiyuu.
