The expression goes "April showers bring May flowers," but as someone who lives in California and has flowers all year long and rarely has rain, that expression doesn't quite ring true to me. What April is sure to bring, in my opinion, is lots of events. April is the start of wedding season, baby shower season, graduation season and family reunion season. Plus, it's the lead in to Mother's Day and Father's Day. If you're in a new relationship, the pressure is about to crank up in a major way. And when that new relationship is with a millionaire man, the pressure is even higher. Millionaires typically have very busy schedules and specific tastes, so it can be daunting to know when to bring your new beau to big events in your life. Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you decide when's right for you.
Are you monogamous?
Monogamy is a big deal to me. Call me old fashioned! Monogamy is a big commitment and shows a certain level of respect and investment in your relationship. If you two are monogamous, then it's definitely worth considering bringing your millionaire to events. If you're not, then it's a no go in my book. And I'm not asking if you're sleeping with or dating people other than your millionaire. I'm asking if you two have had a talk and decided as a couple to be monogamous. Assuming he isn't dating other people isn't enough here.
Has he taken you to events?
Wealthy, successful men have a ton of events. Their company has events, the charities they donate to have events, the boards they sit on have events and their families have events. If your man hasn't invited you to his events, it's not because he hasn't had any events. It's because he doesn't think your relationship is at the point where you can go public quite yet. So, this is a sign you shouldn't invite him to yours. It could also be a sign to sit down and talk about your goals for this relationship. Make sure you're on the same page and both guiding this relationship in the same direction.
Is this serious?
Relating to the above, ask yourself is this relationship is serious? Could you truly see a future with this fellow? Peel away the glamour of the money and dig deep to feel the emotions you have when you're together. Do you want to feel those forever? Or at least for a good chunk of time? Don't bother to bring anyone to a special event who seems like a "fun for now" guy, even if he is a millionaire. Your "fun forever" person could be at this event and bringing an "eh" date could prevent you from meeting him. So, only bring a man you feel very serious about.
Would he make the event better?
Some people are true value adds and some people just aren't. Is the millionaire you're with someone who makes things more fun or less stressful for you? If so, that's a point in the "bring him" column. But, if he'd just be there to stand next to you in pictures or maybe even make the event more high stress for you, that's a sign not to bring him. And, honestly, a sign to not even date him any more. You're too awesome to be with someone like that, lady! Go find a guy who's a value add and not just monetarily!
Happy event season, everyone! Let me know if you're bringing your new boo with you to your events and how they go! Would love to get the scoop.

Translations for the medical field
Carol Bereuter
Professional medical translator since 2011
French & German to English
Originally a northern lass (from Harperley, a tiny village in north-east England to be more specific), I moved to France in 2013 and now live less than 30 minutes away from the German border. This means I have a unique opportunity to use both of my source languages on a regular basis, so I have an in-depth understanding of all the nuances of your text and can find the most effective way to express them in English.
First of all, you'll find no Google Translate here! I provide 100% human translations, because in the medical and pharmaceutical fields, it's just not worth the risk of inaccuracies.
But if you work with me, you also have the benefit of knowing exactly who is translating your texts. I enjoy collaborating closely with my clients to go beyond the words on the page and understand the key messages your business wants to convey. This enables me to deliver a text that is fully fit for purpose.
When it comes to medical documents, confidentiality is key. Both patient information and details about your business are private and must be protected. I ensure the confidentiality of any documents you send me, in line with GDPR requirements and my own professional ethics – they will only ever be seen by myself and my reviser, never sent out to an endless list of faceless email addresses.
Doctors know that the smallest detail – a tiny change to a mole's appearance or a slight fluctuation in temperature – can be of the utmost importance. As a translator, my job is to pay attention to the details of your texts, carrying out conscientious research using trusted sources to ensure that each phrase is exactly as it should be, down to the last full stop.
For all translations, I work with a second native English speaker who proofreads my work. This is in line with best practice in the translation industry, and means that every text I deliver has been carefully checked for typos and formatting errors. Of course, this is essential when a text is to be published, but it is also important for all customer-facing documents, as the quality of your texts is a reflection of your business.

Every month, the sales figure tat the dept store gets & ours r different. Always, v sell more than dept store's figure. So wat happened to the short sales figure? Stolen? Lost? Still somewhere in the dark corner?
I asked Floor Exec to help check the figures again. She said the sales figures were already confirmed once the sales slips were given to us. But the figures still differ & our co wanted to investigate/find out what/where went wrong as it's near stock take.
Floor Exec was reluctant to check but she relented, "But cannot b done in 1 day or 2."
I said tat was ok. I expected mayb 1 week to weeks, considering how slow v get back our memo for transfer out…
Frankly, I don't get it. The sales figure should b computerized right? Then it's just as easy as searching for my co, dates & voila, the application should b able to print out the daily sales. I was told it is this dept store's policy NOT to disclose daily sales figure even to the counters' company! Crazy?! When I worked in Fajar last time, tat was 10 yrs back, Fajar's exec print out monthly sales for each brand, with their (each brand's) own codes, $ & qty sold! Imagine! A company as lau peh as Fajar (Fajar was known for it's supermarket section, not hi tech gadgets or clothing) had such sophisticated, accurate sales system while this dept store which always claimed to b a high class flagship store DO NOT hv such system! Memalukan!
PotatoGal also asked her Floor Exec to recheck. Floor Exec told her to just check our own's memo for the 4 digits.
PotatoGal tot wat was the 4 digits…
I asked PotatoGal when she related the incident to me, "4D for buying # ar?"
The 4 digits = dept store's receipt #. Gah…

A little preview of our wonderful day yesterday :)
Tag Archives: chicago photographer
Fluffy Company
4.15am this morning came the ever-so-familiar call from the taxi waiting outside. One last big hug and he walks out the door with his huge tennis bags thrown over his shoulder. And who jumps up onto the bed, flips over onto her back so her four huge paws fall over my body :) Kaya knows this routine by now and doesn't need to be told to come keep me company anymore. It might sound silly but I'm not sure what I would do on these long weeks the hubs travels, she's my big loving ball of fur :)
And this last week we had two of these loving fur balls to keep us company! Billy and I had Kaya's best friend Maddie to stay while his parents soaked in the Florida sunshine. Literally – they are best friends. I just need to mention her name and Kaya's ears perk up…pulling round to his parent's house and she starts squealing! We might have had a call from the police on her last night here. They had complaints from the neighbors that a dog that was barking non-stop…..oops! Mad's was just warning the squirrels to stay away :) But look at those big brown eyes…how could you ever get mad at that?!
So this week it's me and my pup and I'm thinking this spring weather calls for our beach days to come back! Plus i'm missing Mad's so if anyone wants a puppy play date, Kaya and me are in :)
Wedding Art Book: Kelly + Sean
First of all – how is it Friday already?? It totally snuck up this week! But how amazing is this weather? Kaya and I were able to go on a little run this morning :) It brought home how terribly unfit I have become over my lazy winter! Kaya kept looking up at me as if to say "hurry up Mum, I'm bored!". Time to address this issue and get back outside with the pup and thankfully this 50degree weather makes it much easier!
Now, time to finally post some images of Kelly and Seans art book! I get so SO excited to knock on the door and hand it over, but at the same time a little sad. It's never the end of the road but once they receive the book, gone are our emails on a regular basis and excitement about it arriving. I almost don't want it to end – it's safe to say these books hold a piece of my heart.
I'm so happy they loved their book :) It is such a timeless piece that will last forever as the perfect memory of their special day …
Kelly and Sean also opted for the parent albums. I love how thick the pages are and the soft material cover is perfect.
Now it's time to check off some things on my everlasting todo list :) And have also given into Billy and will go car shopping with him – this must give me huge wife points! Wish me luck!
Happy Friday xx
Lucky Girl
I'm a lucky girl – for many reasons – but especially because of the amazing friends I have :) I might live on another continent from everyone I grew up with, and we may not necessarily talk as much as if I were to live in the same town (or even country), we may live in different time zones and lead different lives – but as soon as you see one of your best friends standing in front of you it's like you jumped back to when you were 15 again :)
Except this time Helen was standing in front of me in the lobby of a 5* hotel in downtown Chicago on a business trip! So maybe things have changed just a little since we were kids, but no matter where this crazy world takes us and however much changes in our lives, you know the friendship will remain exactly the same.
Hotel Monaco Wedding Photographer
There arn't enough words to describe how amazing this Hotel Monaco wedding was! Despite the torrential rain there was so much happiness and smiles throughout the whole day :) She looks like she was picked straight from the red carpet – in ALL of her dresses!!
Happy Halloween everyone!! Thank you so much to Emilia for having me along to second shoot for you :) I had the best time! Congratulations to the very happy couple!!

NEEDs for Bones curriculum is helping teachers in Delaware County PA. educate and excite children and families about healthy food options at home.
In an article published in the PA Nutrition Education Network's Food For Thought – Winter 2014 Edition, Frances Alloway writes:
Midyear, one of our educators had to leave so we requested to use the Needs for Bones curriculum. This bag of food and handouts provides all that a teacher would need to teach four lessons to middle school children about including more calcium in their diet. The teachers were happy to extend the nutrition lessons and the children enjoyed the tastings.

Dream Valley Challenge - Just For men
Look who's sponsoring Dream Valley Challenges this fortnight! It's Bugaboo Digi Stamps! A lucky winner will get $21 to spend in their online store! So get crafting your card, layout, altered item - whatever strikes your fancy as long as it follows the theme Just For Men
If anyone wants to 'try before you buy' there's always a 'Friday Freebie' available on the Bugaboo website, too.
Here's what I did. This groovy dude has been hanging about on my laptop for quite a while - isn't he cute (in a totally Goth way, man!)?
I used the current sketch at Sketch and Stash and used papers from a Bo Bunny pad, called 'Blast Off' that I got last year. The stars were cut from a scrap of holographic gold card using an X-Cut die. I also used my faithful old Martha Stewart zig-zag punch.
The ribbon and gems are from stash I'm trying very hard to use up my stash and not buy anything new - I haven't any room for anything new!!!!
I can't list the Spectrum Noirs I used, because the list has gone AWOL! The guitar has been covered with Glossy Accents.
So that's it. Go over to Dream Valley and have a look at the great cards the talented DT has made, many using some very funny Bugaboo images and sentiments!
Thanks for looking!
love Mags B x

The midday game on Western Oval pitted IC14 old rivals Great Britain Bulldogs and Fiji Tribe against each other for the second time. These sides fought a tough encounter on Community Cup Saturday at Bulleen and the enjoyed a social evening at the Manningham Cobras rooms. Friends were made, respect established – but today all that matters is finishing off with a win and for the Bulldogs having lost successive matches to Nauru, Fiji and Nauru again – there was a sense of having underperformed.
With the sun beating down with perhaps surprising intensity, Sean Walton (#21) the Bulldogs skipper won the toss and elected to kick to the golf course or western-tram track end. Without a significant breeze and with the morning dew dried up the conditions were perfect for footy. On the sidelines the Fiji Tribe enjoyed the extra support of the earlier successful Fiji Vonu ladies team; And with national pride on the line the scene was set.
Fiji had the better of proceedings early and were putting the Bulldogs defence under pressure. The first score being a rushed behind, follow by a snapped behind. Ironically it was forward line pressure that got the job done first – at the other end – when key forward Sam Willat (#2) laid a tackle and drew the free – and lining up for the long shot at goal instead caught the defence napping chipping over to (#13) Scott Rymer who kicked truly. Wiilat was in the action again shortly after but his left foot snap went behind the post. The Bulldogs though had gained some momentum but Fiji were defending capably and (#23) Dylan Wolfgramm was playing an important sweeping role across half back – generally making his possessions count with his precise left boot. End to end play saw both sides seeking a gap through the defences and the best chances were generated by the Bulldogs but a snap by #25 went left and Willat after receiving from (#24) Saunders looked off the boot to be home but just missed. By quarter time the Brits had gained some ascendancy but with 1.3.9 to 2 points they hadn't hurt their opponent nearly enough on the scoreboard.
With the sun beating down the Brits headed to their huddle and then headed the huddle towards the shade near the boundary. The first quarter had featured high pressure with contested accountable footy. Matias (#1) had been a key all tournament for the Brits and again looked important when he got his hands on the ball but was rarely afforded anytime to cause damage. (#14) Irish Brendan McGeever had a fine first term controlling the back line for the Bulldogs and his leadership on the field was echoed off it in the huddle as he rallied his comrades. For the Tribe – the key role so far of the composed Wolfgramm of interest given his heavy workload combining Tribe duties with Manningham Cobras matches.
The 2nd quarter began similar to the first – Fiji going forward and pressure on the Bulldogs backs. A rushed behind started scoring. For the Tribe Wolfgramm had been switched forward. The Brits though pressed again but just missing a little polish. Willat in particular was struggling to clunk the marks but was as always dangerous at ground level but his snap on goal was partially smothered and bounced through for a behind. 1.5 to 0.3 and suddenly the Tribe's energy levels increased. Key players began to get their hands on the ball especially #2 Vatutei and #11 Valesu. Vatutei loves a run and given the chance will run and carry and has drilled many a goal on his trusty left foot. Creating opportunities it was an opportunist goal Solomoni Cati with a fine quick snap from the pack and Fiji just 2 points down. Vatutei again featured to drive the ball forward with penetration. Ending up with Dylan Wolfgramm who never looked like missing and the Tribe headed into the long break 4 points clear.
Bulldogs coach Mark Pitura was clearly frustrated – and from the shade he urged his charges to show greater team play, greater mateship and less individual play. Clearly frustrated with a below expectation tournament he put it on his players to show what they were capable of.
The third quarter – so often the 'premiership' quarter went very much that way today. The Brits looked refreshed for the 2nd half and after the early goal to the busy Saunders and the Brits were back in front. Matias read the ruck and squeezed out a kick towards Maguire (#18) who drew the free for in the back. Fiji's defence were caught napping – not filling the 'hole' and Willat was able to lead up and receive a textbook pass. The kick from 35 out directly in front converted; shortly after again Willat taking the ball in general play and dishing off a handball for (#8) Harmeston to run into an open goal and the Bulldogs had slammed on 3 goals to lead by 14. Fiji only managed one partially effective forward foray for the term – with a mark and behind to #14 who was looking lively up forward but lacking support. Up back #25 was providing rebound but for all their work a solitary behind was the result. The Brits however hadn't finished for the term and narrowly missed a 4th for the quarter when (#3) Worthington's shot from the boundary drew an early celebration from the kicker only to fade into the 'woodwork'. The wait for the 4th didn't last too much longer – on the cusp of three quarter time Matias ran onto the ball and kicked truly and the Brits took a 20 point lead to the last break in the shade.
The final term held few real highlights – the Tribe lifted their workrate but with only 3 behinds to show for their effort were not making sufficient inroads on the scoreboard. Perhaps the highlight was a lunging tackle by Willat that drew a free – however the last shot of the game went just right but made it an even 3 goal margin. At the end the Brits were jubilant and had gained revenge for their loss the previous Saturday at Bulleen. The Tribe were vanquished on the day but had lost no fans and shown tremendous improvement from 2011 and are clearly a top 10 nation with valid aspirations to go higher.
|Great Britain:
|5.7 (37)
|2.7 (19)

Nurse Practitioner Erin Ellis of Flawless Aesthetics Vegas is excited to introduce this technologically advanced, non-surgical treatment to effectively address thinning hair. Read on to find out more about PRP Hair Restoration.
About 50 million American men and 30 million women have male or female-pattern baldness. It can begin early in life, but is much more common after the age of 50, when more than 50 percent of men will experience some kind of hair loss.
However, an emerging treatment — platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy — appears to help regrow lost hair. And, there are virtually no side effects from PRP.
How does PRP therapy work?
Physicians began using PRP therapy about a decade ago to speed up the healing process in damaged joints after injury or surgery. Practitioners then began using PRP in aesthetics after researchers found that high concentrations of platelets in plasma cells help promote hair growth by prolonging the growing phase of the hair cycle.
During the treatment, Nurse Practitioner Erin draws a small amount of your blood and spins it in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets and plasma. She then injects the plasma, which helps repair blood vessels, promote cell growth and wound healing, and stimulate collagen production. Erin injects plasma into the scalp primarily where hair loss has occurred. Typically injections are done every eight weeks, and the injection schedule will depend on your genetics, pattern and amount of hair loss, age, and hormones. Flawless Aesthetics Vegas also offers LED Red Light Therapy, clinically shown to increase blood and nutrient flow, giving your treatment the best possible chance at dramatic results. You can read up on Light Therapy Treatments here
How does PRP therapy compare with other options?
Other treatments for hair loss currently on the market are often more problematic for many patients. There are two FDA-approved medications for treating hair loss: Finasteride and Minoxidil. But you must take these drugs consistently over time and results can be inconsistent.
Each drug also sometimes has side effects:
- Minoxidil may cause dryness and itching on the scalp.
- Finasteride may cause sexual dysfunction in men.
- Hair transplant is another option, but it requires cuts in the scalp, long recovery and is very expensive.
Because it is a surgical procedure, doctors typically recommend hair transplantation only for those who have dramatic hair loss. A transplant is also more costly and leaves scars. Erin can perform PRP therapy prior to transplantation, which can provide better results with more dense hair growth.
What makes you a good candidate for PRP therapy?
PRP is safe and effective for many people. However, you should not have PRP therapy if you fall into either of these groups:
- If you have an underlying disorder such as thyroid disease or lupus, you aren't likely to have good results because these conditions will continue to cause hair loss over time.
- If you are on blood thinners, your platelets won't work as effectively and the procedure is not as effective.
PRP therapy works better if your hair loss is recent. It is more challenging to "wake up" hair follicles that have been dormant for a long time. To see if you may be a candidate, schedule a complimentary consultation with Erin.
Researchers See Promising Results
In a 2014 study, researchers in India looked at men with male-pattern baldness who used both approved medications but saw little change in their hair growth. After four PRP treatments, they had about 30 percent more growth in thinning areas.
A 2017 study out of Italy also found male patients had increased hair and density in areas where doctors used PRP therapy.
The Week Prior: Avoid 'Blood Thinners'
To minimize the chances of bruising avoid the use of:
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen
- Vitamin E Pills
- Turmeric Supplements
- Fish Oil Supplements
- Melatonin Sleep Aide
- Turmeric Supplements
- & Any over the counter supplements that thin the blood
- If in doubt regarding prescription medication, consult with your physician
- Tylenol may safely be used during this time
The Day Of Your PRP Hair Restoration Treatment:
- It is best to wash hair and thoroughly cleanse the scalp before each treatment
You will leave Flawless Aesthetics with the Vampire 'Masque' (or PRP Mask) still on your scalp. This is a combination of your PRP and very small amounts of blood.
- This material needs to remain on for a minimum of six hours following treatment, though overnight is best for optimal results. A general itchy feeling is to be expected.
- The next day you may rinse your scalp with tepid water or wash with a gentle shampoo.
What Can Be Expected:
- For the first 1-3 days, the skin will feel dry and tight
- You may experience some light flaking in the treated areas. This is to be expected and will resolve within a day or two
Flawless Aesthetics also offer LED Light Therapies which can be combined with PRP Treatments for the most effective treatments. Packages are available and you can read more here
As always, contact the office if you have any questions or concerns.
If this is an emergency, contact your Medical Provider or Urgent Care Center

Norwegian Kurt Nilsen won the World Idol competition competing against 10 other contestants. The competition may have ended Wednesday night, but the adventure has just begun for Nilsen if the international press predictions come true.
He is the best singer this writer has seen in thirty years, wrote Tony Bray, the syndicated columnist at TVNow. If there is any justice in the world of fan voting, Nilsen will take home the prize with ease. Nilsens vocal range, command of tone and lyric pronunciation are all better than 99% of the established stars working in the music world today or any other time in history.
This years Christmas gift
Bray added that Kurt was the television channel Foxs Christmas gift to the American people.
After the first World Idol was sent after Christmas, Idol fans reacted very favourable to Nilsen and his version of U2s Beautiful Day. Idol fans across the globe discussed Nilsen in chat rooms.
Acting US judge Simon Cowells rude comment that We have allowed a lot of ugly people to become recording artists, was not appreciated, and he was declared an evil judge. The fans were though more pleased with the Australian judges comment where he compared Kurt with a hobbit, and they have taken the Norwegian hobbit to their hearts.
Kurt the Hobbit
The most original review of Nilsens victory may be the British the Sun with the headline Kurts Lord of the Sings. In the story, Nilsen is compared with Sean Austins character in Lord of the Rings Sam Gamgee.
The paper claims that Nilsen is a hobbit look-a-like, and the Sun gives much attention to Nilsens resentment to the British Idol Will Young.
Will Young is an asshole, said Nilsen to the Norwegian local paper Bergensavisen. He did not want to take my hand and say hello.
The Daily Mail ran the story in true tabloid style.
Mr. Ugly won, states the paper.
Idols support Kurt
Australian media was filled with Nilsen Friday.
Im not disappointed, said Assuie Idol Guy Sebastian. Kurt is very cool guy. He loves his music, so Im very happy he won.
He also told the Australian news bureau AAP that it was the producers who elected the songs the Idols were supposed to sing, something which apparently was very good for Nilsen.
Canada focuses in on the Canadian Idol Ryan Malcolm.
Ryan Malcolm ended finished sixth in the field of 11 singers who had won Idol competitions in their own countries, but the former waiter from Kingston, Ont. was pleased he took part in World Idol, wrote the news bureau Canadian Press.

Malcolm characterizes Nilsen as a really good friend.
"I'm extremely happy for him, he deserved it 100 percent," Malcolm stated.
Triumphed over Clarkson

Graco CEO Pat McHale, who started in 1989 as a machinist night supervisor, took the helm in 2007, just in time for the Great Recession of 2008-09.
Graco, the Minneapolis-based manufacturer of industrial sprayers, saw sales slide and the stock slip from $40 per share to under $20 by early 2009. Graco has grown profitably to about $1.4 billion in annual revenue. And the stock has responded in spades.
Graco's strong first quarter and upbeat outlook pushed the price over $100 per share last week and to a near-record close of $108.26 on Tuesday.
McHale wrote an email to 3,470 employees around the globe a few days ago, thanking them for their efforts and to announce that each had earned an extra paid vacation day.
"In 2008, as the global economy faced a downturn, we set an ambitious target to hit a $100 stock price… we've reached it," McHale wrote. "I also know many of you have become Graco shareholders through our [all-employee] stock option and employee stock purchase plans, and your ownership provides you the opportunity to benefit along with the rest of our investors."
During the lean years during after the recession, a common refrain among veterans at Graco was that they would retire "when the stock hits $100," as if that could be 100 years.
McHale, ever the driven taskmaster, couldn't resist concluding:"In the coming months, we'll set a new long-range objective, and I'll be looking for the same passion and enthusiasm as we achieve another milestone."

Four doors and the open road are all you need for a good time. The first sedan body on a car was on a 1912 Studebaker, and the world hasn't looked back since. Today, the best new sedan you can buy is the Honda Accord. It's a well-rounded car that's reliable, well-built, generously equipped, and affordable. The current-generation model isn't nearly as dull as its predecessors; you'll actually enjoy driving it. And, it's more efficient than ever thanks to downsized four-cylinder engines.
While the sedan segment is declining, there are still plenty of great options to choose from. Digital Trends has traveled around the world to drive them all; we published nearly 90 reviews in 2018. If the Accord doesn't suit you, our reviewers have selected the best luxury sedan, the best performance sedan, and the best affordable sedan.

Honda Accord
The best
Why should you buy this: It's the quintessential midsize sedan.
Who's it for: Anyone who needs a car.
How much will it cost: $23,720
Why we picked the Honda Accord:
Along with its rival, the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord has long been the default choice for a vast swath of U.S. car buyers. The name Accord is so associated with quality and reliability that Honda could probably sell it even if the seats were covered in spikes. But the latest Accord definitely earns its reputation.
The last redesign added some zest to the Accord, which is known for being both incredibly competent and somewhat dull. The current model borrows styling cues from the smaller Honda Civic, giving it a more stylish appearance that won't offend buyers who just want to blend in with traffic. Honda also increased rear legroom and trunk space.
Drivers will find plenty to like, too. The Accord is one of the few midsize sedans still available with a manual transmission, and you can pair that six-speed stick with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine from the Civic Type R (base models get a 1.5-liter turbo four). You don't get as much power (just 252 horsepower, down from 306 hp in the Type R), but the Accord can definitely get out of its own way, and take corners with poise.
The Accord also represents a good tech value. Every Accord trim level includes the Honda Sensing suite of safety features (forward collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and traffic sign recognition), as well as a backup camera. A 7-inch touchscreen display is standard; an 8.0-inch unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is optional.

Honda Civic
The best affordable sedan
Why should you buy this: The Civic proves that value isn't a dirty word.
Who's it for: Commuters who want the most car for their money.
How much will it cost: $19,450
Why we picked the Honda Civic:
Honda is back in a big way these days, but its best car might also be one of its cheapest. Honda's all-new Civic isn't just striking to behold, it's also a return to fun-to-drive form for the Japanese automaker. With punchy turbocharged engines, nimble handling, and a smooth-shifting six-speed manual on offer, car shoppers looking for personality shouldn't feel obligated to break their bank accounts.
The sedan, coupe, and hatchback all bring the drama with aggressive exterior styling that, for its intended audience, is best described as "Instagram worthy." Honda desperately needed a revamp after years of plain-Jane Civics, and whether it's the large air inlets on the front fascia, slender LED headlights, or wonderfully-contoured door panels, the 10th-generation Civic has the attitude its predecessors were missing.
Inside, the new Civic can be optioned with the latest and greatest in safety and infotainment features to turn a compact commuter into a veritable entry-level luxury car. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic braking assist, haptic feedback controls … the list goes on. To top it all off, whichever motor you choose returns the best fuel economy figures in the class. Sometimes you get what you pay for — but in this case, you get more.
Volvo S90
The best luxury sedan
Why should you buy this: Nobody does luxury like the Swedes.
Who's it for: Drivers who want elegance, not pageantry.
How much will it cost: $47,350
Why we picked the Volvo S90:
Few sedans do luxury as well as the Volvo S90. The Swede doesn't overwhelm its driver and passengers with an array of tech gadgets, but instead tries to create a calming, upscale experience. The interior features some of the highest-quality materials you'll find this side of a Rolls-Royce, including wood that is not only real, but actually looks it. The portrait-oriented touchscreen is easy to use, and everything feels solid and well-thought-out.
The S90 driving experience is best described as serene. The S90 is not a sports sedan, but its smooth ride makes it one of the best traditional luxury sedans around. It's also fairly efficient for a big four-door, thanks to an engine lineup that consists entirely of 2.0-liter, four-cylinder mills, as well as a plug-in hybrid option.
In the end, the S90 exemplifies the transformation Volvo has undergone in the last few years. It's handsome, understated, refined, safe, and intuitive, and although it's not the sportiest option on the road, it stands out in one of the most competitive segments in the industry.
Our full Volvo S90 review
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.
The best performance sedan
Why should you buy this: The Giulia Quadrifoglio will raise your pulse like no other four-door can.
Who's it for: People who crave drama, style, and power.
How much will it cost: $73,995
Why we picked the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio:
Alfa Romeo is essentially coming back from oblivion, and to do that, its first mainstream model in the U.S. in decades had to be epic. With the Giulia — particularly the high-performance Quadrifoglio model — Alfa has completely pulled it off.
Building a rear-wheel drive sedan with an emphasis on sporty driving dynamics is a great way to start. Clothing it in gorgeous bodywork in the finest Italian tradition is an even greater idea. But Alfa went even further, bringing a nuclear weapon to a gunfight in the form of a 505-horsepower, 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 developed with input from Ferrari. The Quadrifoglio's engine completely outclasses its German and American rivals in terms of power, and the Ferrari connection adds even more coolness. The Giulia Quadrifoglio is a sedan that thinks it's a sports car.
Want more proof? The Quadrifoglio managed to lap the Nurburgring in just 7:32.00, making it faster around the famed German track than the Pagani Zonda F and McLaren 650S. Mercedes-AMG and BMW M cars are so far in the rear-view that they're not even in the equation at this point. If it's a sedan with bombastic performance you want, look no further than Alfa.
Subaru Impreza
The best all-wheel-drive sedan
Why should you buy this: It's a good sedan that will get you through the winter.
Who's it for: Rally fans on a budget.
How much will it cost: $18,595+
Why we picked the Subaru Impreza:
Many buyers turn to crossovers because of their available all-wheel drive, but the Subaru Impreza has that covered. While all-wheel drive is a Subaru signature, there's plenty about the Impreza to recommend besides its ability to handle snowy roads.
Other compact cars (like the Honda Civic) offer sharper handling, but the Impreza is no slouch in the bends. Thanks to its new Subaru Global Platform underpinnings, it compares well with the competition on refinement. The only available engine is a 2.0-liter flat-four, which produces 152 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque. Base models get a five-speed manual transmission, while other trim levels get a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the name of fuel efficiency.
The standard 6.5-inch touchscreen is placed within easy reach from the driver's seat, and Subaru offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility standard. The Impreza is also available with Subaru's EyeSight bundle of driver aids, including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and lane departure warning. Combine that with a reputation for bulletproof reliability and the Impreza adds up to a great sedan, even if you don't need all-wheel drive.

How we test
The Digital Trends automotive team tests vehicles through a comprehensive scrutinizing process. We examine the qualities of the exterior and interior and judge them based on our expertise and experience in the context of the vehicle's category and price range. Entertainment technology is thoroughly tested as well as most safety features that can be evaluated in controlled environments.
Test drivers spend extensive time behind the wheel of the vehicles, conducting real-world assessments, driving them on highways, back roads, as well as off-road and race tracks when applicable.

Hello and welcome to some review time! I've been trying a few new things and I want to tell you all about them… because my husband doesn't care to hear me ramble on about them anymore. Keep reading to find out what products I've been loving and others that I will not be using again. Ah, the suspense is killing me! Let's get to it.
Lets start with a total miss so we can get the 'You should never buy this product' out of the way. Dickens's Original Witch Hazel face wipes. No, no and no. They flat out do not work at all to get off all my makeup or remove dirt. I have to use my micellar water every time afterwards and it is always full of makeup. These dried out really fast compared to other face wipes that come in similar packaging. The smell gets to me too. I do not like it. It smells a little chemically. These are witch hazel which I'm not a big fan of so that may be what is driving this review now. Bottom line, not for me and I will not repurchase.
New found love; Revlon Lip Stain in 700 HD Sand $8. Where have you been all my life?! Well, they're new so… anyways, this lip stain is amazing. The packaging is so cute and it's what caught my eye. It applies so smooth and creamy. I've only tried one color but I already want to expand my collection. This lip stain remains semi-glossy and lasts a good portion of the day. After eating and drinking you will need to re-apply. The sand color is a great neutral to add just a little 'umpf' to your lips. It smells like Skittles too!
Next up I've been using BRIT sheer perfume by Burberry. Ah, more like heaven in a bottle! This scent has easily become my favorite. First of all, the bottle is pink and totally adorable and the cap stays on tight so it is great to travel with. Second, the scent is so light and floral. It's a great wear all day. It reminds me of spring and summer nights. I started using this in the winter but I would not call this a winter scent. It's feminine without being too young. It's not overpowering but lingers, which is great. I love it. It is kind of expensive but Ulta has perfume sales around the holidays which is when I got mine.
Transitioning from Winter to Spring always has my lips chapped and cracking. I've been on the hunt for a good lip mask to help moisturize and replenish my lips. I got a recommendation from my bestie Kelsie (her blog is kelsiekristine.com go check her out) for the Mary Kay Lip Mask. I tried hers for a week and really liked it. I bought my own and have been using it ever since. It comes in a small bottle and suggested use is 2-3 times a week. It has a very small amount of exfoliator in it, applies smooth and smells like nothing. Tastes like nothing too. You leave it on for a minute or two and wipe away with warm water. You really have to be consistent with using this because it does help to moisturize. I can tell when it has been too long in-between uses when my lips get a little dry and my lipstick doesn't last as long as it should throughout the day. Get into a routine with this one.
Lastly the 24K Nudes palette from Maybelline. I got this as for free from Influenster. I'm really glad this came when it did. I've been on the hunt for a travel size palette. This palette is about the size of my hand so it fits easily in my makeup bag. This one retails for about $15. Maybelline is my go-to drug store brand so I went into this palette thinking it would be awesome. After use I feel this is not awesome but just ok. When I first swatched the colors they looked pretty pigmented. When I went to apply these colors on my lids I needed layer after layer to build up any color at all. They blend just ok too. I found that if I wetted my brush a little the colors came out more vibrant. The colors in this palette are beautiful which is another reason I was so excited to try this. There are 3 matte shades and the rest are shimmers. That gold in the upper right corner, ah, so gorgeous! Have you tried this? Tell me what you think?
Thank you so much for reading!! Until next time – Ashley

Running for Council is not a decision Anna Kroeplin has taken lightly.
The long-time community advocate and volunteer says she has been "chewing' on the idea for over six years, but with her continued work on behalf of local ratepayers associations and organizations like the Optimist Club of Aurora, she wanted to "invest" further in the life of her family and of her community.
"I had a family meeting with my husband and daughter; any new project any of us take on, we always meet with each other to [see] how this is going to fit in with our lives because we want to keep that quality as well," says Ms. Kroeplin. After we talked about it, and I really wanted to wait another four years when my daughter is in university or college, but she said, 'Don't wait for me, mom. Live your dream now.'"
Now, that is just what she's doing – and that dream is local.
Ms. Kroeplin comes into this race with over two decades of experience working for local government in another municipality. With this background, she says she knows the process and realises that getting things done can be "a very slow, frustrating process" but she has never struggled to find her voice. This voice is one that has been heard in the Council Chamber many times over the years, whether she is speaking on behalf of the Aurora Farmers' Market, of which she currently serves as Market Manager, or as a spokesperson for the Town Park Area Ratepayers Association.
"I didn't have it in my mind that I was doing this to run for Council," she says. "I have been involved with the Ratepayers for 10 years when we were a teeny tiny group of three people meeting in a friend's kitchen for tea and saying this would be a great idea, and that this is a gap right now that is needed to support the southeast area."
To this end, Ms. Kroeplin is a proponent of adopting a ward system for Aurora, whereby one elected Councillor is responsible for one particular area of Aurora.
"I think having a ward system is pivotal to the communication for Council by residents," she explains. "Instead of having six Councillors now being in charge of 50,000 people, it will be 8,000 people. I think you can be much more effective and get to know the grassroots of your area."
With this eye to Aurora's downtown core, Ms. Kroeplin says that if she is elected she will bring forward a motion for a new transportation master plan for all of Aurora.
"There are many other plans the Official Plan (OP) has facets of: the Cultural Plan, the Growth Management Plan, the Economic plan, all vital, but I think if we're responsible for future development, especially when we're talking about traffic, we need an overall Transportation Master Plan."
The OP, she adds, has a traffic plan for the northeast, but more is needed: "There is 75 per cent more of Aurora that needs to be looked after."
There is also, of course, myriad established neighbourhoods in the community that need attention as well. These communities, Aurora's "stable neighbourhoods" have been a particularly hot topic over the past year. Ms. Kroeplin says each impacted ratepayers group has developed strategies to consider in the fight to protect older neighbourhoods, and now is the time to act.
"I would like to bring those strategies to fruition, to be able to protect these very unique pockets in Aurora because, once you do that, you're protecting the character of all of Aurora," she says, noting Aurorans live here by choice. "We want to be in Aurora and there is something about Aurora that speaks to all of us. I grew up in Richmond Hill and moved to Aurora because it reminded me of Richmond Hill a couple of decades ago. It is that hometown feel, except it is vibrant and exciting."
Essential in this is making sure Aurora's zoning bylaws are compatible with the Official Plan, she says.
"With myself working in government, I know all the red tape, I know the baby steps, and I know when to recognize a win," she says. "You might not get everything you want, but if you get partway, or most of the way there, it is the community that is going to win. It is the ratepayers and it is the taxpayers."
Downtown Aurora, as it is in most campaigns, is once again turning into a focal point of the election due to the redevelopment of Library Square and the renovations currently taking place at the historic Aurora Armoury to make way for the newest campus of Niagara College's Canadian Food & Wine Institute.
When it comes to Library Square, Ms. Kropelin says she has been on the "inside" of most meetings due to her participation in the local ratepayers' association and says it has been a good process.
"We felt our voice has been heard to have a more pedestrian-friendly area," she says, noting there are still some lingering questions on traffic flow. "It is very challenging working within the safety realms of making sure there are pedestrian-friendly areas [and] having so much traffic at Yonge and Wellington. The only thing I am disappointed [with the Library Square plans are] the accessibility spaces, or lack thereof, or even the needs of the actual Library.
"Living in the southeast area, there is going to be an influx of parking on a residential street. I understand that with the Library Square plan, they are accommodating some extra parking, but I think the Town really has to look at extra parking that is going to be affecting our residents."
As for the Armoury, while she says she is "a little trepidatious" that the Niagara College deal has a limited lease time and what kind of usable community space Aurora will end up with in the event the College decides not to renew, she is "extremely excited" about the renovations and the possibilities that might come with it.
"I want to make sure that space is usable, especially for community groups," she says. "I'm involved in so many community groups and we're constantly looking for meeting space and activity space and program space. That is another thing I would like Council to look at and hopefully direct staff to making those spaces available. I know that staff has been working very hard to accommodate as many groups as they can but sometimes it falls short."

A History of Ancient Greek Literature
A History of Ancient Greek Literature
The vast progress made in all departments of literary scholarship, and the minuteness with which knowledge is now subdivided, threaten to leave the general reader bewildered at the diversity and bulk of what is presented to him. The exact historian of literature concentrates his attention on so narrow a field that he cannot be expected to appeal to a wide class; those who study what he writes are, or must in some measure grow to be, his fellow-specialists. But the more precisely each little area is surveyed in detail, the more necessary does it become for us to return at frequent intervals to an inspection of the general scheme of which each topographical study is but a fragment magnified. It has seemed that of late the minute treatment of a multitude of intellectual phenomena has a little tended to obscure the general movement of literature in each race or country. In a crowd of handbooks, each of high authority in itself, the general trend of influence or thread of evolution may be lost.
The absence of any collection of summaries of the literature of the world has led the Publisher and the Editor of the present series to believe that a succession of attractive volumes, dealing each with the history of . . .

by Letters to the editor on Monday Apr 08 2019
To the editor,
Regarding last week's council meeting, wherein the city, as represented by its council, once again laid bare its parochial colours of phobic postulation and intolerant ideation:
I haven't been following too closely the fallout because, as you might surmise, it sets me off- I might almost use the word "triggering" if it didn't come slathered with the baggage of pop pyschology- and I get irrational very quickly. The two comments I've made on social media are, uncharacteristically, one-sentence affairs that safely skirt the edge of my own loathing.
My sole question is, I have only seen and read Councillors Sue Heaton & Florio Vassilakakis, in that order, publicly apologise for and denounce that public display of odious inhumanity from Castlegar's own homegrown deplorables. I have seen nothing from any other councillor or the mayor, nor even council as a whole, nor from the City.
Have I missed something? Or are they all still tripping over the ankle-height bar of expectations I have of that burg?
Tony Jackson

The kind of shoes that we wear depends on how our feet are; you will find that the curve of the feet is usually formed by the tarsal and the ligaments and the tendons usually strengthen the metatarsal bones and the tarsal. This will, in turn, allow our feet to give full support to the body weight; you should also understand that the height also is very sensitive to the foot type.
Feet play a significant role in the life of human being since they act as support for the rest of the body parts. Therefore it is essential to consider the kind of sole that will best suit the type of feet that you have. Choosing the right shoes on the other side will help you avoid a lot of complication, and thus you will be able to do your work without having to worry even a single bit.
Lower arch results to no curve on your inside fee and thus you will find that in this kind of case you will see that people are generally prone to injuries as compared to when there are curves along your inside feet.
In most of the circumstances, you will find that people are described as having a flat feet soles since mostly their arch is flat on the ground and this is the kind of people that should be extra keen when it comes to choosing the type of shoe to put on or to use to run. The main aim for them is to look for stability and support, and thus they will need the boots to assist them in achieving that. If they try to avoid the shoe, you will find that they will end up injuring themselves since they have forced shoes that are not appropriate to their feet.
You will find that the confidence that the shoe offers to those with flat feet is different from the security that other shoes will offer. It is therefore essential to stick to the shoes that much fit your kind of feet to avoid a lot of complications that may end up causing harm to you.
Steadiness shoes have mainly double thickness froth which is a hard mix of foam which they are then installed under the midfoot area and also at the back of the shoe to aid comfortability and support to the foot. In most of the case when you have a close look at this kind of shoes you will realize that they are designed in such a way that the other shoes are not designed, and also in most instances, you will find that they are darker grey and thus they are easily distinguishable from the different type of shoes.
Flat Feet Kind Of Shoes
If you are the kind of person that most prefer the shoes with motion control, then the probability is high that you don't have flat feet. You will only go for the kind of shoe that perfectly match your foot type, and that is something of great essence to put into consideration before you purchase any shoe.
Depending on the kind of your feet you are the one to choose which shoe will best fit your foot without any problem. Some of the shoes that are considered to have perfect stability include the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9, New Balance 1226; the Mizuno Wave Inspire 7, and Nike Zoom Structure Triax. They are considered to offer a perfect lightweight and combine support, and thus they produce a balanced shoe for those with flat feet.
Different people have a different kind of foot, and it is, therefore, something of great importance to know what you are and the nature of shoes that will best fit you. Always remember that forcing a shoe on your leg may end up causing you a lot of problems and therefore it is recommended only to wear a shoe that is good for your feet.

We just gave you our pick for the game earlier(take the points), but there's so much more to bet on today. In my opinion, the Super Bowl prop bets are more fun than betting on the actual outcome of the game. They're not all silly like who will the opening coin toss. There are some real interesting potential bets that could make you some real money. These our are top five prop bets for Super Bowl 50.
5. Which song will Coldplay play first during the halftime show?
Paradise 10/1
The halftime performers always want to start out with a song with a little energy. Coldplay doesn't have a lot of those songs but "Paradise" will count for them. I like the 10/1 odds.
4. First Touchdown Scorer
Ted Ginn Jr. (CAR) 10/1
Ginn has 7 touchdowns in his last 6 games including the playoffs. He's definitely Cam Newton's favorite wide receiver. If Denver focuses its attention on Greg Olsen, I can see Ginn getting open for the first TD.
3.. How many times will "John Fox" be said during the broadcast?
Over 1 (-140, 5/7)
When the Panthers were beating the Cardinals a couple weeks back and the Super Bowl matchup looked set, I immediately thought to myself that this will be the "John Fox Bowl", a battle between two team who's last coach was John Fox. I have to think that will be mentioned at least once but probably more.
2. Odds to Win MVP
Von Miller 20/1
If the Broncos do end up winning, Von Miller is a likely MVP. He has a great matchup against a below average right tackle in the Panther's Mike Remmers. I think he could easily record multiple sacks and maybe cause a turnover.
1. Total Sacks – Von Miller (DEN)
Over ½ (-225, 4/9)
We just said that Von Miller has a great matchup. It will be surprising if he doesn't get at least one sack.

How To Set Up inflatable bouncer
If you do decide to purchase one as an investment and to use constantly during the summer and spring months than you need to know how to set it up. Before you begin you need to purchase ground tarp. The castle should have come with its own blower tubes and blower.
Put the ground tarp on the space where you want the castle to be put. The ground should be level and between 100 to 200 feet to the nearest power source.
Place the inflatable roll at the back of the tarp and unroll it to the front. Have one or two people help you with this to make sure that it is not getting snagged on anything and is moving evenly. The back of the inflatable castle is the part with two blower tubes.
Connect the blower to one of the blower tubes on the back and secure it using the strap attached to it. Now seal off the second blower tube so that none of the air can be released. This one is used when you are deflating it.
Plug an extension cord into the power outlet and run it to the back part of the castle. Plug the blower in and make sure the air is not escaping as it blows it up. Make sure that there are no power lines or tree branches that it can hit on the way up. As the air enters through the tube the inflatable bouncer will unfold itself.
Now that it is inflated you will need to secure the corner straps to the ground using stakes. Place cones over the stakes so no one falls on top of them.

I live outside of the city in a very rural area. There aren't many streetlights up here on the Hill and it gets very dark. If you were walking at night in my neighbourhood around this time of year and came upon my house, one of two things would happen:
- If you were the type of person that doesn't enjoy a good scare you would speed up your pace, avert your eyes and definitely plug your ears.
- If you were the type of person that does enjoy a good scare you would stop and try to take it all in. You may even make your way to my front door and ask for a tour through our yard, and I would happily oblige.
Both of the above scenarios have happened, many times, and both scenarios make me happy. The only time I wasn't happy with my display was when it made a beautiful little girl cry, but I got over it fast and she hasn't been back since.
Halloween isn't for everybody, but in this house we love it and we go all out. The trick-or-treaters will pass through a haunted graveyard, a bone maze, ghosts and ghouls that talk to them in frightening voices, and before they cross onto the steps to hit the payload of candy, the ground will shudder beneath them to their squeals of delight.
What you will not find at my house are the costumes and decorations that I see popping up more and more in stores and online – the asylum or mental patient accessories that people seem to be so fond of lately. I know, I know, it's the one day of the year that you get to choose to be whatever you want to be, but trust me when I tell you that some of us who live with mental illness are less than thrilled with some of the companies selling these.
One of my best friends has a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Not only is she an associate in corporate America, a best selling author, and the VP of a non-profit organization, but also she is plagued with hallucinations so terrifying that they become debilitating. What do you think her costume should look like? A British party company thought this was fitting before they finally pulled it.
Like I said, gore it up but how can this ever be considered okay?
This company made a formal apology and apparently pulled this product clearly marked 14+ off of their shelves after complaints were lodged. I don't understand glamorizing suicide and self-harm for the sake of a making a few bucks, not only do I believe that this is beyond poor taste but we need to look at what message this is sending.
And while I'm ranting about my own personal opinions of poor taste in Halloween costumes let me just point out this one – The Sexy Mental Patient.
I've been a patient in a psychiatric facility a few times now and I can tell you, there is nothing sexy about it.
What you choose for a costume for yourself or your children is your choice, but just think for a minute. There are so many people living with these illnesses and the way these party companies are cashing in on their vision is pretty gross in my humble opinion. 1 in 5 are, or will be, living with a diagnosed mental illness at some point in their lives, and sadly some of those people will take their own lives. When a party company sells an accessory for slit wrists they've lost my business for good. When a party company continues to use mental illness to make money and cash in on stigma, they've lost my business for good.
If you knew what it was like to be hospitalized and restrained for your own safety, or in a place so dark that you thought dying by your own hand was your only option, you'd think twice about these costumes as well. Your costume, your choice, but it's just another opinion of mine that I thought I'd share with all of you. Whatever you choose, I hope you have a Happy Halloween.
