I'm forever amazed at the growing popularity of Perking the Pansies across the pond. My inconsequential witterings tell the tale of two middle-aged gay men in a faraway Moslem land written in a peculiarly British carry on style laced with low wit and attempted irony. Let's face it it's a minority sport. I've published the odd piece about my visits of yesteryear to the Land of the Free but beyond that I can't see the appeal. So who are you my Yankee pansy fans? Are you mainly expat Brits living in America or genuine Yankee doodle dandies attracted to the semi-gay theme in a fag frat pack sort of way? Does the expat perspective resonate for global nomads wherever they are? Perhaps you just like it because it's funny or well-observed (or both or neither). Or maybe you're just waiting for us to be clapped in irons for outraging public morals, or worse (as would happen in some other Moslem countries).
You may have read that I'm writing a book that's due out at Christmas. God knows I've been banging on about it enough. It's the best of the blog and mixed with the same ingredients but tells our emigrey tale with extra spice and more depth. I doubt it'll make my fortune but I'd like it to do well. Of course, I'd love it to fly off the shelves. The trouble is I don't know what American shelves it might fly off from. I'd really like to know why you read my inane and irreverent ramblings. If you have the time and the inclination please leave a comment on this post, add a few words to my Faceache page or drop me a line at:
I'm not fishing for complements (though all will be gratefully received). If you have any marketing tips I'd like to hear about these too.
If you like this then you'll love these:

Alton holds off on raising fee for handling sewer and garbage bills by $3
ALTON — Aldermen laid over a resolution Wednesday that would increase the city's monthly administrative fee on residential sewer and garbage bills from $1 to $4 until they could amend it to maybe exempt email payments.
The City Council also held a public hearing on the budget and appropriation ordinance for the fiscal year that began April 1 and runs through March 31, 2018; no aldermen or members of the public commented or asked questions. The panel then approved the draft document, 5-2, and held first reading of the ordinance.
Alderwoman Stephanie Elliott, 6th Ward, and Alderman Michael Velloff, 3rd Ward, voted "no." Former city comptroller Elliott had expressed concern about the budget deficit at Monday's Committee of the Whole meeting. The main, General Fund has total revenues estimated to be $34,137,724, and expenditures of $34,207,677. Officials, though, said the Council might amend the budget through the summer.
In the personnel portion of the meeting, the Council OK'd Mayor Brant Walker's appointment of Patrick King as attorney for the Civil Service Commission; and reappointment of Cindy Lolley to the Community Relations Commission.
The panel also approved a resolution allowing the city to issue a special use permit for 1002 Martin Luther King Blvd. that allows LifeStar Ambulance Service to erect a radio antenna 50 feet tall or more. The Alton Plan Commission unanimously had recommended the approval on June 6.
Aldermen also unanimously OK'd resolutions tweaking city code so as to comply with state statute, requiring businesses to submit sales tax reports for food and beverage and utility taxes in a timely manner or face penalties; and allowing the city to sign an intergovernmental agreement with the Alton School District to provide two school resource officers (Pfc. Brent Bertschi and Pfc. Doug Schaefer) next school year, up from 1.5 officers last year. One officer will be posted at Alton Middle School, as has been the practice for many years.
The second officer will be located at the Motivational Achievement Center and also go to elementary schools within city limits. The district will pay the city about $118,000 for the SRO services next school year, coming from its Tort Fund.
Another resolution aldermen passed amends city code to reduce amount of interest it pays on overpaid taxes from 6 to 3 percent.
The panel also unanimously approved resolutions, effecting: permission for the corporation counselor to draft an agreement allowing businesswoman Erin Frew to paint a mural on a city-owned wall at Piasa and Third streets; temporary closure of Wall Street from State Street to the rear of Firehouse tavern from 4 p.m. to midnight July 3 for a party; and to provide prevailing wages for Public Works employees not under a labor contract.
The Council also approved low bids of $8,600 from S. Shafer Excavating Inc. of Pontoon Beach to demolish a structure at 2116 Washington Ave.; and $1,250 from Abatepro Inc. of Edwardsville to remove asbestos from a house at 811 Chouteau Ave. Members laid over the bid from Petroleum Traders Corp. of Fort Wayne, Indiana, for various fuels because they had questions about who would transport the liquids to Alton.

Bad pronounciation and wrong grammar are the engines by which new languages are created. If people didn't mispronounce Latin, we wouldn't have such beautiful languages like German, French and Italian.
The same goes for Hindu/Urdu, Sanskrit, Kannada, modern Persian and Arabic. All are "distorted" versions of one ancient language or the other.
So, the next time someone corrects you on your grammar or pronunciation, tell him you're actually contributing to a future language 🙂

For : 2795000 - Humewood-Cedarvale
Lot size:50 x 124
Garage/Parking:4 Car Parking
Chances are if you've driven up Rushton Rd you have slowed the car to have a better look at this home in supremely coveted Humewood/Cedarvale. Sprawling footprint (lot is 50 x 124 and house is 4000 square feet above grade) and dramatic field stone exterior on a corner lot – this is identical to the huge wall that surrounds Casa Loma. Apparently the builder of Casa Loma, Sir Henry Pellat, paid farmers $1 per stone delivered to his building site – kind of makes us wonder if some of these stones made it to 310 Rushton Rd. I digress! Stunning principal rooms oozing with Arts + Crafts details: stained glass, archways, wood burning fireplaces, built-ins etc. This enormous house is split into two legal family sized units, a five bedroom main house and a spacious two bedroom apartment. Sellers re-wired, waterproofed, replaced every window (all 38!), gutted family bathroom, created a separate guestroom/in-law suite and main floor powder, built deck and custom awning which spans from the owners kitchen, installed in-ground sprinkler system … the list goes on. Come and see this impressive home today.

We aren't naive. We know it's only a matter of time before you use "the card." But before you start racking up charges, we want to let you know what you're getting into.
There is a reason people say your credit score is nearly as important as your GPA. Your future house, car and any loans you may need depend on it.1- A credit card can be two things, depending on how you use it:
A hindrance or a convenience. If you carry a balance, your card is nothing but a high interest loan. If you make only the minimum payment (usually 2 percent to 3 percent of the balance) each month, you'll be paying off the debt for years and will pay a huge amount of interest.
On the other hand, if you pay off the balance each month, a credit card becomes a very convenient way to purchase items and services without carrying around a lot of cash. Use your credit card as a cash substitute, not as a high interest loan.2- You can potentially save over $1,000 each year in lower credit card interest charges
by paying off your entire bill each month or by using a check, cash or debit card for purchases.
If you are unable to pay off a large balance, pay as much as you can and switch to a credit card with a low annual percentage rate (APR). You can obtain listings of low-rate credit cards through www.bankrate.com (click on credit cards), which provides information at no charge to consumers.
You can reduce credit card fees, which may add up to well over $100 a year, by getting rid of all but one or two cards, and by avoiding annual fees, late payments and over-the-credit-limit fees.3- The second you make your first charge with your new card, your credit scoring history begins.
Your credit score is a system creditors use to help determine whether to give you credit for that house or car loan, or whether to allow you to open up a bank account.
Information about you and your credit experiences, such as your bill-paying history, the number and type of accounts you have, late payments, collection actions, outstanding debt and the age of your accounts, is collected from your credit application and your credit report.
Using a statistical program, creditors compare this information to the credit performance of consumers with similar profiles, and then make a decision on whether or not you deserve a loan or an account.

Generation next is now hooked on to the latest trend named Online Social Networking, which is offering a unique opportunity to communicate with friends or to make new friends from different parts of the world. This is the reasons why social networking sites are creating a ripple in the online industry. In point of fact, social networking sites have become a rage among people of different backgrounds and different cultures. As social networking sites are fast becoming an enduring part of modern lifestyle, the concept of social networking website design is gaining more and more importance than ever before. Social networking sites usually offer a wide range of options to stay connected with a community or friends. Therefore a website designers needs to give adequate attention to these options such as chat, photo sharing, scrap or messaging, blogging, video sharing and other customized applications, while designing the basic structure of a social networking sites. Apart from this, there are some other aspects that a web designer should remain aware of which are described below:
Creative Touches
A creative approach is all we need while designing a social networking site. If the targeted audience of a social networking site is fashion professional or fashion lovers, it can be a little bit fancy from the designing point of view. However, if it is a social networking site for students, it needs to be simple in design. Actually, it should be an ideal fusion of both information and out of the box idea. A simple designing concept can make a positive impact on the viewers.
In reality, the main objective of social networking web design is to reflect and to create a friendly atmosphere, where people of different countries or different religions can interact with each other. Here comes the importance of creativity. One should not follow the pattern or designing concept of an existing social networking site blindly because in the long run, it will eventually tarnish the reputation of that website.
Customization Options
The specialty of a social networking site is that it offers a wide array of customization options for its members. A social networking should allow its members to define or modify the appearance of their profile pages according to their individual concepts. A member should be allowed to do what ever he likes by utilizing some cool options such as changing the background color, adding images, adding different widgets etc. In fine, a social networking sites should do all it could to make it a fabulous place for its members. After all it is the members, who will increase the popularity of your social networking site.
User Friendly Layout
A user will never like to face difficulty while chatting with a friend or while making necessary changes in his profile page. A user-friendly layout is the best thing that can help a social networking site to retain its members and increase popularity. It needs to have some in-build themes for those, who wants to customize their profiles without making much effort. If you want to retain your existing visitors and to increase your website's online presence, you should opt for less complicate designing concept.
A web designer should exercise patience otherwise, the entire effort might end up in a complete fiasco. The simple rule is that: be cool to be creative. Do not be in a hurry because social networking website design includes a complex creative process, which demands both patience and perseverance. Try to find out the pros and cons of some existing social networking websites before giving finishing touches. This will certainly help a website designer to create an impressive layout of a social networking website.
The Importance of Uniqueness
Everyone wants to stand out from the crowd but this is not an easy task at all. As the domain of social networking is getting crowded day by day, task of web designer is getting tougher and tougher. The uniqueness of designing concept should be retained at any cost and therefore a web designer needs to analyze the all the aspects of website design with due care and consideration. The applications that are used of a social networking sites should be presented in such a way that they become an indispensable part of the entire web design concept. This is one of the tricky tasks of social networking website design and therefore, it needs to be treated with special attention. A different approach can generate desired output in this respect.
It is always advisable to opt for professional assistance while designing a social networking website. WebGuru Infosystems is one of those few web design companies, which is offering professional social networking web design services at an affordable rate.

I've spent the past few days of work delving into the world of social media. And I've stumbled upon so many good urban ag and food policy pieces along the way...here's a couple worth sharing: check out this video of one of my inspirations: urban homesteader/author/comedian Novella Carpenter.
And Pollan hits the NY Times Book Review with an interesting perspective on the food movement -- yes, the first section is Pollan you've already heard, and yes, it is a survey of food mov't lit, but skim through to the second section and you'll start hitting new territory. (and I must admit, I'm enamored with the design of the NYT Book Review online, worth a visit unto itself...). What does the food movement look like? And where will it go? It's up to us to shape it...

I wouldn't advocate farming HoH for an ilevel 365 weapon unless you're going to be doing it anyway and want to spend the aether levels on it, because it takes a LONG time to get enough aether levels to buy a weapon.
The amount of time you spend in HoH could easily be used to farm other content for gil that could be used to get you a better weapon AND better gear.
As I said though, if you're going to be in HoH anyway, why not?

Also really liked how they said that basically every dungeon, and most of the post-80 dungeons, were all tied to the MSQ. I like almost all the FF14 dungeons but it did bug me a bit that some (A lot more than some in ARR) were just one off arbitrary stories. Stories that were cool in their little context, but still unrelated to anything else. I'd much rather they all feel natural and be connected to the main story, so that got me a little more excited when I heard it.
2 more weeks!
if i buy a level boost is there something like a tutorial?
i want to play a Dark Knight and dont want to do 3 months of story quest befor the addon.. i heard i can get a level boost and a story skip thing , would it be worth it or will i be lost as new player?
Probably gonna transfer to Twintania for a quick 10 gold feathers. Won't be able to buy Twintania mount but there are other mounts.
- - - Updated - - -
Don't want people maybe taking the limit nor wish to run the risk? Don't use things like the Duty Finder then I am afraid, everything you have just listed in that regard is pious rambling.
Some people are just bad, yes, but as SE thinks, they pay their sub, the dungeon has a literal hard time limit, and that is that. Don't have time for the 90mins the dungeon is set for? Don't queue.
Do I like it? Nope. But arguing otherwise is just asinine. It isn't changing anytime soon.
(For the record, I hate crappy players, have died as a tank so many times to healers who spam one ability, dps who seem intellectually impaired/lazy, but that is what the hard time limit is there for).
- - - Updated - - -
BTW, people have been kicking real shitty players since day one without getting banned, it's not hard to see a frost mage.
Had a family friend bring their kid round, 15 years old, and he came with me to play on the PS1. Turned out he was of diminsihed mental capacity, but more importantly, he had a withered hand. Was only able to clutch the controller vaguely, whilst spamming buttons with his working hand. We basically just played Tekken and he adored it because he felt he was able to actually play a game for a while.
Was he competent? Fuck no. He sucked, but when I see "shitty players" I always think it could be a guy like that, just playing to have some fun, and trying their best with what they have available, but sadly people are too quick to start screeching "KICK!" and "SHIT PLAYER GIT GUD!" rather than maybe work on the assumption that they are doing their best, but aren't able to.
If people had a similar experience, they might be a little more patient.
So umm.. yeah: DPS does indeed matter. Quite a lot, oftentimes enrage timers feel harsher in FF compared to WoW (I raided in both).
- - - Updated - - -
A parser is a tool. You don't ban all hammers just b/c some drunk moron clubbed another person with one.
I will kick you if you are holding the group back and are the reason that we cannot kill a boss, after I try to help you. I hate kicking people. So I always try to make it work first. With more challenging bosses, there is a limit to the patience they allow.
Your friend surely would not venture into savage or extreme raiding, knowing that his performance would essentially make the boss unkillable. That is basic human decency and logical thinking. I would never venture into ultimate b/c judging from my savage performance I am obviously not good enough.
Sadly, not everyone does that and many a crappy player is looking for freebies. That's the point at which parsers are a useful filter b/c not every crappy player is an obvious ice mage.
As I stated earlier: it is extremely rare that I kick people. I can probably count the # that weren't offline in 5(?) years of playing on one hand.
So um: no. I am not some "impatient WoW crybaby" with an itchy trigger finger and a superiority complex.
But if this is your attitude about it, spend no time wondering why people don't want to do any content higher than normal mode with you.

Oct 03, 2016 | 05:17 / Jubilees
On October 3, a round hall of Main building of ANAS hosted for international conference devoted to the 80th anniversary of Botany Institute. Co-organizers of the event are ANAS Institutes of Botany, Molecular Biology and Biotechnologies as well as Central Botanical Garden.
Event brought together 32 scientists, representing Russia, Turkey, England, Germany, France, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Belarus, including governmental officials, members of the Division of Biological and Medical Sciences, scientists and specialists from higher institutions of the republic, and mass media.
Conference aimed to look through historical development phases of botany science in Azerbaijan, gauge its state-of-the-art condition and define the role of botanical studies in remaining biodiversity.
Opening the event President of ANAS Academician Akif Alizadeh highly appreciated the contributions of the institute to Azerbaijani science during its activity period. Scientist congratulated all staff of the institute on the occasion of jubilee and wished succeses to the works of conference.
Academician A. Alizadeh noted that over 80 years of activity of the institution known as the wide-profile research center, studying flora in the country, thanks to the efforts of Azerbaijan botanists was determined the species composition of flora, discovered dozens of new varieties and nearly 1,000 species new for the flora Azerbaijan and the Caucasus, as well as for science. In some botanical-geographical regions of the country were established new territories spread of many species and varieties.
According to the scientist, the basis of the scientific directions of the institute are the "Study of the principles, ways of conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity of flora in Azerbaijan", including "Molecular genetics and physical-chemical bases of biological processes and biotechnology", which was founded by the late Academician Jalal Aliyev and now successfully continued by his successor, Academician Irada Huseynova.
Head of ANAS noted that under the development concept "Azerbaijan 2020: vision to the Future", Institute of Botany focuses on the development of young professionals, who make up 35% of the staff. He stressed that they are involved in research work on international projects, actively participate in international training courses and seminars to explore new methods and modern approaches, continue their education in foreign academic institutions in different countries.
Speaking further at the event, Academician-Secretary of the Division of Biological and Medical Sciences, Academician Ahliman Amiraslanov brought to the attention that the scientific conference will discuss the results of research aimed at the conservation of biodiversity, as well as determine their prospects for development in fundamental and applied areas through the application of modern innovative approaches.
Noting that the Institute of Botany of ANAS is a wide-scientific center of the Republic of Azerbaijan, studying flora, Academician Amiraslanov said that during the many years of activity on the initiative of the Republic botanists studied the flora and determined the species composition of plants.
According A.Amiraslanov, in recent years, the Institute of Botany has integrated into the international scientific arena, the scientists of the institute joint studies have been conducted in various international programs. In addition, seconded in advanced universities in the world, young specialists took part in international events.
In conclusion, the scientist expressed confidence that the staff of the Institute will continue to work hard, enriching their achievements history of scientific institutions new and even more valuable pages.
Director of the Institute of Botany, corresponding member of ANAS Valida Alizadeh informed about scientific directions of international relations led by its structure and research activities carried out there. She also noted that the conference will examine the biota structure of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, questions about their function and evolution. Also, the example of the local areas and large regions will demonstrate ways to address the protection of populations, species, ecosystems and plant associations. Along with this will be separately considered molecular genetic research methods of biological diversity and investigated questions about population dynamics under the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors occurring at the local and global level. Among the issues to be addressed at the conference also include the protection and rational use of natural resources.
V.Alizadeh noted that the international event is aimed at determining the prospects for the development of fundamental and applied research results of current research in the field of phytodiversity by discussion and the use of innovative approaches.

The organising committee of the 2nd International UCM Predoctoral Conference on English Linguistics (UPCEL) are pleased to invite predoctoral students in English Linguistics programmes, including both PhD and Master's degree students, to participate in our second instantiation, which will be held on September 20, 21 and 22, 2017 at the Facultad de Filología, Universidad Complutense de Madrid. This conference is organised by the PhD Programme in English Linguistics of UCM, which has consistently maintained an Excellence Distinction by the Spanish Ministry of Education since 2004.
This conference intends to involve people from different fields who wish to share a common purpose and create an interdisciplinary space of solidarity and community; its objective is not only to show the crucial role of language in society, but also to be a meeting point where people working in diverse areas can collaborate.
Therefore, this year's edition will serve as a forum for sharing and discussing topics related to English linguistics, especially (although not exclusively) welcoming contributions addressing social aspects and issues and how linguistics intertwines with them.
The motto for this second edition is (English) Language in Society. Three are the main objectives of this conference:
. a) To organise a discussion forum around academic issues to which we are directly related. Thus, this conference will welcome proposals with a THEORETICAL, METHODOLOGICAL and/or COMPARATIVE motivation, especially those linked with research that is being carried out from a plethora of linguistic disciplines such as Critical Discourse Analysis, Language teaching, Translation, Language and History, Language variation, Sociolinguistics, Language and Identity, Language policies, Pragmatics, Language typology, Language and Literature, Language and Gender, Language and minority groups, Psycholinguistics, Linguistic Anthropology, Language, culture and cognition, Sign language, Language and Arts, Politics, Exact Sciences, Advertising, Language and Social Networks, Global languages, etc. In sum, ENGLISH AS A SOCIAL PRACTICE and IN SOCIAL PRACTICE.
. b) Nevertheless, another important objective of ours is to make sure this conference becomes a platform for cross-sector cooperation, solidarity and participation. We want to convey a clear message in an innovative way: Our PhD programme not only focuses on RESEARCH in ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND SOCIETY but it also aims at becoming an ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTITUTION to our society. Therefore, this conference is set to be not only a discussion forum, but also an event, a social activity which encourages the participation and contribution of people who have scarcely been given the spotlight at such events. Giving the floor to these collectives will foster our basic principles and contribute to strengthening social fabric. Thus,
• We have reached an agreement with the School of Fine Arts/ Escuela de Bellas Artes, whose students will design the conference logo and posters. They will also participate in the conference, using their own language. In other words, we will witness the painting of a mural, which will be kept for the enjoyment of the Faculty of Philology.
• Although we are still to finalise some details, we will also have the participation of students from the Faculty of Tourism/ Facultad de Turismo, who will share their knowledge and vision of Madrid with participants.
• We are working alongside the office in charge of the insertion of persons with functional diversity (OIPD) to integrate a large group of people with special needs amongst our collaborators.
• We are promoting shorter phased projects in collaboration with Pedagogy students, professional sign language interpreters, etc.
c) The third objective builds on the previous one. A number of young researchers can contribute to the topic English language and society from diverse approaches: both less conventional and more committed ones, applied or peripheral to the field of linguistic research. A specific panel (From a different angle) will be exclusively reserved for them. Our conference hence aims to excite interest in a wide range of Master's and PhD programmes.
Bearing in mind the objectives described above, we will make English Linguistics an interdisciplinary meeting point for at least three days. To do so, it will be indispensable to keep an open mind and count on the collaboration of everyone involved.
We strongly encourage you to disseminate this project; encourage your students personally to take part in the event submitting posters or talks, or simply as attendees. To the extent possible, contact your colleagues in other Spanish institutions individually to ask them to encourage their own students to take part as well.
Researchers interested in taking part in this conference are encouraged to submit their proposal on the following topics:
Language in Society
- Bilingualism/CLIL
- (Critical) Discourse Analysis
- Cognitive Linguistics
- Functional Linguistics
- Sociolinguistics
- Pragmatics
- Applied Linguistics
- Historical Linguistics
- Cultural Studies
- Corpus and Computational Linguistics
- Translation and Contrastive Linguistics
- Lexicography/Phraseology
Dr. Yolanda Joy Calvo Benzies (Universidad de las Islas Baleares)
Dr. Antonio García Gómez (Universidad de Alcalá de Henares)
Dr. Marco Tamburelli (Bangor University)
We invite researchers to submit proposals based on their own work in one of the following formats:
• Paper presentations: papers will be presented in 20-minute slots, followed by ten-minute discussion turns.
• Posters: posters will be at display in key areas at the conference venue.
• Please note that English is the language we will be using all throughout the conference
All abstracts must be submitted online before April 12, 2017 via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=upcel2017
Those who do not have an EasyChair account will need to create one.
The word limit for the submitted abstracts is 500 words, including references.
Each contribution will be anonymously reviewed and assessed by two members of the organising committee. The abstracts should clearly indicate:

OS X 10.7 (Lion) introduced a feature called the Character Picker. This allows you to press-and-hold a key on your keyboard, activating a little popup with the different character options associated with that key. This can be a useful feature for some, as it allows you to visually see all of those additional character options and not have to know how to otherwise activate each of them. I, however, found that it was more of a hinderance to my workflow. For example, when I am editing my code in VIM or Vintage Mode in Sublime Text, this feature prevents me from holding down the movement keys (h, j, k, l) to navigate. So I decided to disable it.

Adding Spaces To Your OS X Dock
Adding spaces in your Dock on OS X is a nice feature that allows you to bring a little bit of visual organization to your icons. It is really easy to accomplish in just a couple short steps. First, you will want to locate your Terminal application. Terminal can be found at
Applications > Utilities > Terminal. Or, for a little shortcut, you can hit
Command + Space on your keyboard. This will being up Spotlight and you can then type in Terminal (or the name of any other application you wish to find) and it will show it up in a list below the search input.
Must-Have Mac Apps
Recently a few of my friends have made the switch from using a PC to a Mac for their primary workstation. One of the first things people want to know when making that switch is what applications are available that would help them achieve the most optimal user experience on their new operating system. Since this is such a common concern and one of the first things I would want to know as well, I have decided to post a quick list of my current, personal favorites. These are apps that I typically run through and install right away when setting up a new workstation because they have become such a major part of my daily workflow.
Considering that I am a web developer, some of these listed will apply specifically to my craft and may not quite as be useful to someone outside the field. I, however, have also listed many general-purpose apps that any Mac user may find quite useful.

It's hard to toss your favorite beauty buy. You searched and searched for the perfect tool and now you have to let it go. Maybe you only used it a few times. Or the color is discontinued. Let's face it: all beauty products eventually go bad and need to be replaced.
Expired beauty products can become a breeding ground for bacteria and wreak all sorts of havoc on our skin, including breakouts and rashes. But how do you know when to let go?
For starters, if you don't remember when you even bought that beauty find, chances are that bacteria have already taken over and it's time to toss it. And, when it comes to expiration dates, think in months, not years. Keep reading for basic guidelines on how long your mascara, foundations and lippies can last – and signs to look for when determining if they are still good to use.

In this week's free episode of Deke's Techniques, Deke reveals not only the mysterious workings of the Camera Raw Exposure controls, but also the less inscrutable visage of his dear friend and fellow author James Williamson. While you may not have photos of James-by-lantern-light-at-Bonarroo-Music-Festival lying around, my guess is that you have something equivalent——a photo of a similarly beloved character shot in unusual lighting conditions that is perhaps an equal exposure challenge.
Here is what the photo Deke's working on looked like originally:
In the movie, you'll see how Deke approaches processing this in Camera Raw, most notably, how he handles the puzzling Exposure slider. While it seems as though this slider represents the equivalent behavior of setting exposure in camera, it doesn't, exactly.
Nonetheless, by the end of the free video, Deke will have exposed the raw, rugged, and, in this case, completely unwashed handsomeness that is James after four days of plus-100 degree camping:
You'll note that the process also "exposes" quite a bit of noise. For members of lynda.com, Deke's got an exclusive technique this week in which he shows you how to smooth out that noise, whilst still retaining detail. As you can see, James is rendered smooth and sharp, as befits such a fine (if momentarily unwashed) Southern gentleman:
For members, you can click below to watch the movie at lynda.com. Not a member? You can sign up for a free week at lynda.com/deke and enjoy not only this movie but literally thousands of others (including the entire collection of Deke's Techniques).

Here's the dilemma: social media requires very strong writing skills, but not every SMM manager is a social media wordsmith. So just how can you cope without a writing degree and the enviable eloquence of Hemingway? The good news is, social media writing isn't exactly rocket science. For around five years, I've managed the social media accounts of both start-ups and big businesses across various industries and realized one thing: good social media writing is indispensible.
Another thing I've noticed is that almost anyone with a basic copywriting background and a knack for words can develop great posts – considering they follow a few ground rules. With Facebook's organic reach dropping considerably from 16% to 6.5% from 2012 to 2014, it is great messaging that will help counteract this massive decline. Draft Facebook copy that can blow your competition out of the water with the following tips.
Social media users want to feel as though they are interacting with a person and not a business. One way to make sure this happens is to keep your language consistent. To become a social media wordsmith, your writing must capture the personality of your brand. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you start drafting posts:
Your writing style is influenced by a variety of factors, from the age of your target audience to how you want to be perceived online. It all starts with research, so every social media wordsmith must be ready to go digging! Remember, the more relatable your writing style is to your target market, the more engagement you'll get.
Domino's UK did very well incorporating humor and pop culture into their posts, which effectively appeals to pizza eaters both young and young at heart. This post, which is both relevant and relatable, connects a newly released video game: "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" with pizza. Notice the quirky play on words!
To achieve Jedi social media wordsmith status on social media, it pays to get down to the details. This means paying close attention to your sentence construction, length, and other additional elements that will make your readers' thumbs stop when they come across your post. Here are just a few actionable insights you can apply to your Facebook posts:
Though this isn't an end-all rule, it has been proven that shorter posts get better engagement as compared to long and winding status messages. Just how succinct you should draft your message is a murky number, with some sources saying two sentences is great, and other sources recommending you keep it down at 111 or even 40 characters for Facebook. Regardless, the rule is clear: keep your message short and sweet on all social media channels. A quick tip to keep your status messages down is to add some of the text on the image itself!
Check out Adidas's straight-to-the-point product description. Everything you need to know about this pair of shoes is condensed into a few punchy phrases.
Emojis are not just for teeny-boppers anymore. It has been researched time and time again how these tiny icons are actually great for boosting your social media engagement and humanizing your brand. The social media wordsmith tries to incorporate them sparingly into social media writing (especially for Instagram and Twitter). Make sure, however, that emojis are in line with your social media personality!
Time to brush up on your writing style. The power of the active voice works even in social media writing where punchy and persuasive text grabs more attention. Don't know the difference between the active and passive voice? Here's a crash course:
I tickled the sleeping yeti.
The sleeping yeti was tickled by me.
The first example is more action-oriented while the second example sounds dull. Social media writing is all about movement and action, and the social media wordsmith makes posts reflect just that!
You've had it with pages telling you to SHOP NOW or CALL NOW, so you can assume that others feel the same way. Though the significance of the all-too-important call-to-action cannot be denied, there are other, less "hard-sell" ways to inspire movement.
Apart from being eyesores, did you know that Facebook's algorithm can now detect overly promotional language, causing your posts to be demoted? With Facebook's already declining organic reach, this is something no social media wordsmith can afford. Why not grab some pointers from H&M?
Apart from striking images, it really is the written word that makes the social media world go 'round. If you're looking for higher reach and better engagement, great social media writing should be included in your arsenal. Smooth, succinct, and informational without sounding too salesy and with just a link at the end for those who are interested to purchase – this is the anatomy of a great promotional post.
Once you begin to apply the tips above, you will feel and see a change in your social media engagement statistics. The change may not come overnight, but with focus and practice, you can develop the writing prowess of the best in the business.

As I sit here watching a documentary on Black Mormons, I wonder to myself two things:
1) Why would God create all people in his image but not make them equal?
2) Why would you want to be apart of a group/organization/society that doesn't want or accept you?
The Mormon Church (Church of Latter Day Saints) tried to justify their racism in not allowing black men to serve in the priesthood because there was no divine intervention to tell them so. Those of African descent were considered lesser and unworthy of the priesthood, but according to church leaders, that was God's way. How does that make sense? If God wanted people of different races to be lesser, he would have just made them that way, like animals. So, if you believe that skin color is his way of making "others" less important, you are sorely misguided. Don't use your religion to shield your bigotry.
On the other side, why would you want to consort with people who view you as less important? What kind of comfort and love can you feel being apart of a church that teaches that you are evil because of your skin color?
Just a few things to ponder…

Know Your Reseller
We are living in a rapidly changing business environment with increased end user, and reseller demands. The empowered end user requirements to make a purchasing decision have changed how our resellers and manufacturers go to market. Having a deep knowledge of the end user requirements and our resellers capabilities allows for us to increase sales.
Managing these demands and the relationships with our resellers to engage is a core competence.
Engaging the Platforms
Ten years ago, the prevailing practice was straightforward; sales and marketing agencies presented merchandising resellers everything they had about manufacturers' products, and every account received more or less the same materials. But in today's digital business world, resellers have different platforms, user interfaces and affiliations. The knowledge to differentiate between different resellers capabilities and relationships to engage makes a difference.
Working with merchandising resellers today requires more attention, more time and more resources. As a result, Midwest Resource Group is having different kinds of conversations with our manufacturing partners and valued resellers. We are totally engaged with our resellers' organizations at multiple levels and departments, so we have a clear understanding of their interface, digital capabilities, affiliations and partnerships.
Deliver Comprehensive, Customized Assets
It takes more than a territory manager alone to provide resellers with this level of expertise and service. Midwest Resource Group's office staff includes a robust team of experienced e-commerce professionals who collaborate with territory managers to design and deploy customized, advanced systems for more effective delivery. Our proven process results in strong relationships and continued growth for our customers.
If you'd like to learn more about how Midwest Resource Group will leverage the power of its valued relationships with resellers and distribution channels to grow your market, contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Ron Marinucci, May 2014 Column: "Swag"
by Ron Marinucci, May. 5, 2014
Runners race for many reasons. They relish the competition, with others and with themselves. They like testing themselves—their bodies, their fitness, their training. They enjoy the social aspects, the camaraderie shared with others. And some like the swag.
Swag—I came across that word several times in recent weeks. Most often, it was in a running/racing context. But not always. "Swag," I thought to myself, "is that even a real word?"
Indeed it is. My Webster's New World Dictionary defines swag three ways, as a noun:
a swaying or buckling. a valance, garland, chain, etc. hanging decoratively in a loop or curve. stolen money or property.
"Stolen money or property?"
Another check, this time the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, confirmed this, "stolen property." Hmmm……
Looking way down the list of definitions, though, I found a somewhat obscure meaning, "spoils; profit." Synonyms included, "prize, catch, treasure." Whew! That's more like it.
For runners, swag means the free stuff or giveaways at races. These can include tee shirts (although I suppose, technically, if they come with the entry fees, without "no tee shirt" options, they aren't free), food (I think?), and medals, trophies, plaques, and other awards. Some, such as runners Jillian Peck, Joe Burns, and Stu and Shiela Allen, refer to swag as "bling."
And, just as runners race for different reasons, racers have different opinions about swag.
Ruth Thelen is enthusiastic about swag. "I like tee shirts, sweatshirts, gloves, and hats. Awards—I like them all!" Her "favorite item(s)" are sweatshirts.
Peggy Zeeb echoed that. "I love getting useful things like sweatshirts, if they fit!" But, she continued, "I have a couple of things that I've won that I have enjoyed over the years." One of them is "a beautiful photograph of part of a race course in the fall with geese flying over. [It] is framed and in my living room. Probably my favorite prize was when I got to pick my favorite charity and they made a donation in my name."
Regarding tee shirts, Zeeb was a bit more reserved. "I don't very often wear cotton tee shirts and they usually don't fit anyway. Race directors need to realize half of the people running are women and unisex tee shirts don't fit most women right. Even if I get a small size, it hands down to my knees!" But she added, "When I ran the Ludington Half Marathon runners had a choice between tee shirts or beach towels. That was a nice change."
Bruce Kittle, fresh from a tough half marathon he ran with his son Daniel in Washington state, chimed in, too. "I like the tee shirts, especially if it was a really enjoyable race. Every time I wear it after that, it brings back the good memories of the race…and a smile to my face."
A couple of favorite pieces of swag (swags?) for Mike "Flagman" Bowen are "finishers' coffee mugs from the Smoky Mountains Marathon and the long sleeve green shirt from my first Marine Corps Marathon." He added, "I do have one medal I'm quite proud of from the 1992 Boston Marathon where I ran 2:50. It was just a rare perfect day. I ran a steady pace until I saw the Citgo sign and picked it up a bit." Tee shirts he now gets "are given to my wife, Coach Patty."
"My favorite 'swag,'" said Jillian Peck, "has to be the wooden bling that I received for my first marathon on Grand Island. Dennis [her husband] ran and walked all 26.2 miles with me as a recovery run following his ankle repair. Having something hand-made from Michigan for this unique trail run was a bonus." She also noted, "Next in line is the pottery mug given at the end of the Great Lakes Relay. Our first-time team had a blast last year and we are awaiting this year's relay with some experience under our collective belts."
With his tongue in his cheek, I hope, Gus La Ruffa admitted, "I always liked the medals. It was fun to hang [them] around your neck when you went out for dinner that night."
Joe Burns confessed, "I am biased because of Medals 4 Mettle." Burns is the head of the Detroit chapter of Medals 4 Mettle. It's a charitable organization that gives distance running medals to people exhibiting their own mettle with fighting serious diseases and illness. "Medals are a big thing to me," he said. He is also the race director of the Back-to-the-Beach Runs. "I try to make sure the Back-to-the-Beach medals are fun to receive, but also will bring a big smile in a hospital. So this is a big shout-out to keep making medals full of color. And continue that bling thing," adding with a chuckle, "with things like spinner centers!"
Ian Forsyth has run "a lifetime of races." To him, then, an "award has to be pretty cool to merit display. My favourite [He was born in Canada.], by far, is the tractor the overall winner and overall masters claim at Diemer [Brian Diemer Family of Races] each year. Fantastic!"
Also favoring something out of the ordinary is Stu Allen. "I liked the medal from Dances with Dirt last year that has a built-in bottle opener!" But he added, "I love races that offer the 'no-shirt' option for a lower entry fee. Hats are cool, but I have hundreds of those, too." His wife, Shiela, though enjoys the medals, "the bling."
Bill Benton runs daily and has every day since April 22, 1977. (Yes, he's a streaker!) Although he hasn't raced in almost 20 years, he offered this. "I long for the day when a race was a race and entry fees were reasonable. Most road races should be just that—a road race with a 'shirt/no-shirt' option." He qualified that with, "Events like Race for the Cure are OK since they are meant to be fund-raisers from the start," adding, "sorry about the pun." Then, "Except for events geared to young children, medals or ribbons should be for higher place finishers in reasonable age-groups."
Dave Foley, former editor of Michigan Runner, has raced for decades and won a lot of swag. He recalled, "When I won my first medals, I was so proud. [But] as I grew older, they were less treasured." He added, "I think we may have gone overboard with finisher-medals. Maybe in a marathon or down to a half-marathon—OK." Always good for ideas, Foley said, "For smaller races, how about an option to check 'Yes' or 'No' on an entry blank. A colored sticker on the race number could alert finish-line folks in the chutes who gets [a medal]." He went on, "But that said, let's continue awards to leaders, perhaps three-deep, in age-groups in small races. [In] mega-races, maybe [go] five deep."
Foley also said, "Tee shirts or other items of clothing could also be options you buy with your entry. The bottom line is entry fees are too high. I realize costs are greater than in the old days, but maybe cutting back on amenities and have optional check-offs on entry blanks could help bring down the costs."
Tracey Cohen is also a runner and racer, winning her share of medals. But she has taken a somewhat different stance. "Personally," she said, "I don't care about swag and am sad to see race prices increase so much just to give more participation awards. I love winning 'hardware' as much as the next, but care more about 'toeing the line' and giving my all." She further explained, "That being said, some of my favorite awards have been homemade, local to the area," echoing Jillian Peck, "and gift certificates and gloves. But I'm grateful for whatever is given." She again stressed, though, "I pay to race, not to guarantee that I take home 'stuff.'"
A few years ago, at the Crim Expo, I talked with Bill Rodgers, marathon and running legend. Once discovering that we had attended rival Little Three colleges, (he Wesleyan, I Amherst) we had a pretty lengthy chat. I remember, in this theme, he spoke of some of those early road races he entered in New England, namely the swag that they had. I still chuckle when I recall him saying he won toasters and automobile tires, retrieving them from the car trunks of race directors.
Me? I'm conflicted. I don't race very often any more. (And, yes, high entry fees chase me away. But the kids' activities hinder racing, too.) If I happen to be lucky enough to win an age-group medal/award, I don't keep it and haven't for quite a few years. My grandkids, at least now the younger two, like to wear them around the house for a week or two. But then, if they are medals Joe Burns and Medals 4 Mettle can use, I donate them. (You can drop them off at many of your local specialty running stores.) A while back, I gave a bunch to the special education department at a local high school.
There are still two medals that I've kept, though. Karen was very thoughtful and made a framed award case for my 100th anniversary Boston Marathon finish—medal, certificate, and a faux Runner's World cover with my photograph on it. The other is a Free Press Marathon medal, again framed by Karen, with a photo of me finishing inside Tiger Stadium. There may be others hiding around here in toy chests or wherever, but I don't know about them.
I really like the idea of optional race tee shirts. Some races, for a lower entry fee, have used that option for quite a few years. I have plenty of tee shirts and have run out of storage room. Back in 2005, I boxed up more than 200 of them and shipped them off to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
I do enjoy getting things other than medals and tee shirts at races. There are plenty of coffee mugs with race logos in the house—and I don't drink the stuff—so many that I have begun giving them away, too. The old Huron Valley Hospital Run was unique in giving out different age-group awards. Karen and our two sons, Mike and Matt, ran it with me for a number of years as a family outing. Awards, won by all four of us, ranged from towels and trivets to hats and key chains. Although the last HV Run was 15 or more years ago, we still have some of that swag around.
I still count food, the post-race goodies, as swag. It's my favorite. The Riverbend Striders still hold the Great Pizza Challenge every August in Flint. Matt and I ran that several times—the first time he beat me when he was 13. Pizza from a number of area pizzerias greeted runners at after the 5K event. The West Bloomfield Rock and Road had pita sandwiches, Greek salads, and Coney Islands for post-race swag. And Run the Hills in Farmington Hills serves pizza at the finish area, too. I was able to convince some running friends to get to these races.
In 1991, Karen and I were in Buffalo, New York for a family wedding. My Aunt Dolly found me a race there, the morning of the wedding. It was a 4-miler at Hutch Technical High School (Gus La Ruffa's alma mater, I later found out) in downtown Buffalo. In the school gym after the run was a bevy of baked goods, home-baked goods, from the moms of athletes at Hutch Tech. There were cookies, scones, cakes, brownies, pies—almost every baked good imaginable. Shame on me, but that's still my favorite race swag.

Kirkuk Residents Line-up to Vote in Kurdistan Referendum
People across Iraqi Kurdistan cast their vote on September 25 in a non-binding independence referendum organized by the Kurdistan Regional Government.
Despite regional and international pressure to call off the vote, polls opened to an estimated 5.2 million people that were eligible to vote, including those living abroad who were able to vote electronically from September 23.
While the vote is non-binding, it would give President of the Kurdistan Region in Iraq Masoud Barzani the mandate to negotiate secession with the Iraqi government, Reuters reported.
