Ariana Grande Enjoys Some Retail Therapy After Pete Davidson Speaks Out About Breakup
New wardrobe, who dis?
On Sunday,
Ariana Grande
took a stroll with some of her friends in New York City and enjoyed a day of shopping, especially at Chanel. The "No Tears Left to Cry" singer looked extremely stylish as she walked down the street in a giant white parka, grey pants and white Christian Loubtouin pointed-toe boots. She traded in her signature high ponytail for a top bun instead.
Grande displayed some of the bags on her Instagram story alongside two cute, small dogs.
Right in the middle of her Instagram story between pictures and Boomerangs of her shoes and dogs, the artist uploaded a note that preached self-love. "Protect your peace, get rid of toxicity, cleanse your space, cultivate love," it said.
Grande and her fiancé
Pete Davidson
broke up and called off their engagement last week after a few months together. Since then, Grande has skirted around addressing their relationship, whereas the Saturday Night Live cast member has spoken about it a bit.
On Tuesday, without mentioning him by name, Grande said she was going to "say bye bye" from the Internet for a while. She wrote on her Instagram story that day, "time to say bye bye to the internet for just a lil bit. it's hard not to bump news n stuff that i'm not tryna to see rn. it's very sad and we're all tryin very hard to keep goin. love u. and thank u for bein here always."
Her absence from social media didn't last long, however her subtle message about Davidson resonated.
Since the split, a source told E! News that the Sweetener singer has been "in close contact with her family and they are keeping an eye on her and supporting her."
The insider added, "They want what's best for her and to do what she feels is best for herself."
Grande and Davidson both made their first public appearances early last week—Grande on Tuesday and Davidson on Wednesday.
She performed at the taping of NBC's A Very Wicked Halloween, which is a tribute to the Broadway play's 15th anniversary. While there, it became visible that she covered up one of her Pete Davidson-inspired tattoos with a Band-Aid.
The comedian was spotted on Wednesday while spending some quality time with his family in New York. Another source told E! News, "Pete's doing fine. He has a strong support system of family and friends around him that are keeping him laughing."
On Saturday, Davidson co-hosted and performed at the comedy show Judd & Pete for America in Los Angeles, where he joked about his split and needing a new place to live. "Well, as you could tell, I don't want to be here. There's a lot going on," he quipped to the audience. "Does anybody have any open rooms? Looking for a roommate?" He and Grande moved into a $16 million New York apartment together after their engagement.
When Davidson and Grande were together, the two of them got a hefty number of tattoos dedicated to each other, especially Davidson. He covered up one of them right before their breakup was announced, but there are still many more to go.
"So, obviously you know I, we [Ariana and I] broke up or whatever but when me and her first got engaged we got tattoos," he said later on in the show. "And it was like in a magazine like, 'Was Pete Davidson stupid?' And 93% of it said yes," Davidson told the audience. "So my boy, he was like, 'Don't listen to that s--t man. They're literally f--king haters.' And I'm like, yeah, f--k that. I'm not stupid. And the other day we were in my kitchen and he was like, 'Yo bro. Turns out you were stupid.'"

I've been interested in nutrition and its effect on your health since I was around 10 or 11.
26 years later and I've tried (and failed) countless times to have what I consider a good, healthy diet.
However, with 2 children to run around after, the hopes of creating a third, and the fact that I feel the beginning of old-age twinges in my joints, motivation to eat well is much higher now that it's ever been.
I've had no sugar (save one breakfast style biscuit that I ate without thinking) for 7 whole days. Today is day 8 and I feel smaller – my jeans have a teeny bit of extra room over the hips. I feel happier – my mood and patience have levelled out and I am in control, even dealing with a vomiting baby and manic toddler. I feel calmer – the highs and lows have gone, and have been replaced with a more steady, measured approach to everything. I feel physically softer – my skin feels smoother and my joints are not aching as much as they usually do.
I've tried to cut out sugar so many times before, but this time I think I've finally got all the pieces of the puzzle in place to make it work.
Before I talk about how I've finally got everything to come together, I want to first run through all the things that have failed and my take on why.
1. Focusing on exercise, not food
I've tried this millions of times. I think: "I need to be healthy, I need to get fit!" so I plunge into a new regime, or join a gym, or buy a heart-rate monitor, or sign up to a new class, or buy a bike, or buy some exercise DVDs (notice how much buying takes place, compared to doing?).
Two, maybe three weeks in. It grinds to a halt. I make excuses. My muscles are sore. I'm more tired than when I started.
Why is this doomed to fail?
Someone wise once said "You can't out-exercise a bad diet."
If your intake isn't what your body needs, you are never going to get decent performance out of it. Your muscles won't be able to build strength, your body will protest with exhaustion because it doesn't have the protein, the fuel, the vitamins and minerals to adjust to the increase in physical activity. Result? Failure.
2. Going cold turkey on everything
No caffeine. No sugar. No bread. No meat. No milk. Er… what the hell am I gonna eat?
I've cut out all sorts of things from my diet over the years, and a couple of times I have tried a full-on Gillian McKeith style detox. Oh. My. God. Why doesn't anyone ever talk about how shit you feel for the first three days? The headaches, the tiredness, the grumpiness. And then the cravings start – wine, chocolate, burgers, ANYTHING with some sustenance.
No – this is never gonna work. Yes, you can make changes, but 99% of us can't do it overnight like that.
3. Trying a "diet"
This is something I've only really done since I've had children – the baby belly drives my purchases of diet books promising you'll never need another diet plan again.
I've tried a couple but seriously – following someone else's plan of what to eat? I can't get past the first few days. Your shopping bill trebles and you end up throwing away half of everything because the recipes don't account for all the leftovers. And then there's cooking separately for me, the kids, the husband (or leaving him to fend for himself, which isn't very sociable)… I end up in the kitchen all day long.
Nope – this isn't gonna work because it's not my eating plan, it's theirs.
4. Meal planning a week's worth of healthy meals you've never eaten before
I'm guilty of doing this a lot. Meal planning is great – it focuses your shopping, clears your mind of constantly thinking "what are we all gonna eat?" and helps prevent desperate takeaway dinners. However, the way to do meal planning is to plan to eat things you would normally eat.
Using it as a tool to improve your diet takes time.
By day four of a brand new menu plan, you're sick of cooking and at least one meal was awful. Do you really want to plod through three more nights of cooking dinners you don't know if you're going to like? Nope. You order a takeaway pizza instead because you've used up your weeks worth of meal energy in four days.
I repeat – meal planning is great, and is something I really want to master (I'm working up to it).
But meal planning IS NOT healthy eating. They are two separate beings. Meal planning AND eating healthily is one change too many for most busy people to stick with.
These are my big four – the things I have tried over and over, with tweaks and additions and alterations. But they haven't really worked.
I just need to find what does.

Whether or not you need to transform a brick hearth or add character to a "gap in the wall", a fire makeover utilizing Venetian plaster methods can give your house some critical type. I had by no means designed and created a hearth encompass earlier than, so I enjoyed the problem and am very, very glad with the end result. The fireside, completely proportioned crown moldings, white oak flooring, and a recent, calming shade palette fill the living room with charming, Cape Cod style.
This living room is the culmination of the entire expertise I built while reworking the remainder of the house and it's truly some extent of pride for me. This angle iron will likely be invisible once the job is complete, and you may assist make it so by portray it a coloration that matches the mortar before you install the stone.
Get began by using our handy lead generator to seek out hearth transforming professionals in your area. In day one among our hearth rework, our main aim is to demolish the existing volcanic rock hearth and fireplace. Unfortunately, the carpenter covered up vents on a heat-circulating fire with wooden.
By that, they meant that the apex of excellent design was something that blended into the natural model and decor of a house – you did not notice a particular sort of flooring, paint or furnishings as a result of all of it labored so nicely collectively. The graceful stone pops in opposition to the white walls and molding because of the stark distinction in texture and color between the 2 parts.
A fire facelift can take your dwelling area from whatever" to wow!" Whether you are considering a full-on renovation or searching for a simple weekend improve, get impressed by these ideas that can transform your fireplace to the center of your decor. Earlier than its transform by Nathalie Tremblay of Atelier Cachet, a uninteresting white surround and beige wall did nothing to highlight this hearth.

American by Paper: How Documents Matter in Immigrant Literacy tells the stories of documented and undocumented Portuguese-speaking immigrants in a former mill town in Massachusetts.
It shows how papers, such as visas, passports, and greencards, shape immigrants' access to the American Dream.
It won an honorable mention in the 2017 Conference on College Composition and Communication's Outstanding Book Award Competition.
I leave Vieira's book feeling deeply that ours is a crazy system: Why keep piling documents on top of documents, making of them a wall to the world? Why should migrants—people—have to choose between the time-consuming work of pursuing English or caring for their families? Why make migrant lives any harder than they already are? American by Paper urges us to rethink all that we ask of those who seek a better life.
— Catherine Prendergast, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign
Relentless in its critique of literacy as a social practice and in its effort to develop a counter-narrative, American by Paper forces open a conversation that has been lingering but has not received the kind of attention it deserves.
— Juan Guerra, University of Washington
A riveting account of those pursuing the American Dream.

Demarcation was the start of a project that got me thinking about climate change not only from a global perspective but also a human perspective. The idea started out as a personal examination of the subject. For me it represented a change in my own consciousness, shifting from seeing development, industrialism, and globalization through the lens of economic progress, to a socially aware state, questioning the cost of this progress to the individuals, and perhaps not surprisingly, those who benefit from this progress the least. An early subject of study in the project is the low lying coastal regions of Louisiana. This southernmost region was devastated most recently by hurricane Isaac in 2012, and even more so by Katrina in 2004.
This image, titled The Wall, was one of the earliest ones I took in the project. It is a section of the old levee system that had failed to allow the city of New Orleans to be overcome by the storm surge brought on by Katrina. For me, the levee represents a socio-political failure as much as a physical one. Arguably the socio-political stance of reckless industrialism and globalism, are the driving forces behind climate change, manifesting physically as Katrina. The levee as a protective system failed, just as the prevailing socio-political climate failed to acknowledge the recklessness of their policies. The levee system was highly criticized for a flaw in its design that created cascading failures along the system. Arguably, I pose the question, whether the levee system was flawed or instead one of economic expediency, was it a design oversight or was it a choice of cost savings.
While the issue is a global one, I am also addressing the issues locally, photographically represented in The Wall. The United States, while a significant influence on the issue, is not the only one. Certainly the problem exists on a global scale. Originating across the globe, hurricane Isaac traveled nearly halfway around the world before striking Louisiana. In this way, climate change and mankind's contribution to the problem as a global issue is represented symbolically by hurricane Isaac as well as physically as a manifestation of global warming, the effects of which are discussed globally but tragically, felt locally.

FUNCTIONAL AND FRIENDLY LATEST DESIGNS AND TRENDS Susan Redman Eurocucina showstopper: This red kitchen is part of a new line from Hacker called Identity, designed by Claudia Klein Zeggelink. Cobalt blue is one of the eye-popping colours popular at Eurocucina 2012. KITCHENS Details: To book a design consultation at Freedom Kitchens, phone 1300 885 435 or visit freedomkitchens.com.au. AS the social hub of the home, kitchens are presenting designers with new challenges to create rooms that aren't merely func- tional but family-friendly, too. Eurocucina, a biennial event in Milan, brings together the top kitchen designers from Italy and beyond, and gives them the chance to present their imaginative sol- utions on how to incorporate high- tech functionality with aesthetics. Recently returned from the in- fluential fair, Susan Hasler, Natio- nal Sales Manager for Freedom Kitchens in Sydney, nominates five of the newest concepts. The stand-out trend, according to Hasler, was the juxtaposition- ing of kitchen cabinets. ''Stacked cabinets at varying heights and open shelving are being show- cased in a myriad of design pos- sibilities,'' she reports. As for colour, citrus shades such as tangerine, lemon and lime were prevalent. ''Coupled with black or white, and timber and glass ma- terials, the effect is striking and gives people scope to add person- ality to a kitchen,'' says Ms Hasler. Cobalt was another popular colour, she says. ''Deep and luxur- ious, it pops perfectly against white, plus it complements natu- ral wood, and looks sleek and modern next to stainless steel appliances.'' Benchtops, she observed, are going extreme. ''They are either super chunky at 100mm thick or slimline at 12mm or less. Combin- ing benchtop thicknesses, as well as heights and materials, is a continuing trend and a sure-fire way to ramp up the style factor in any kitchen.'' It's predicted, too, that as dining becomes more communal, purpose-built dining tables will be brought into the kitchen space. These can double as workspaces. Another kitchen trend Ms Has- ler noted is the prevalence of industrial and textural finishes. ''Concrete surfaces are uber- chic whilst the popularity of stain- less steel hints at the commercial kitchen. It's a nod to the rise and rise of celebrity chefs and the cooking shows that display them.'' Designers are demanding that stone surfaces sport a new tactile twist with a raw, natural finish that complements the growing trend towards organic, earthy- inspired spaces. ''Mixing materials and exper- imenting with combinations of gloss and timber, stone or glass, creates a very exciting kitchen,'' says Ms Hasler. Another impressive Eurocucina feature was clever lighting, which is becoming more affordable thanks to today's longer-lasting LED lighting. ''Strip lights around an island bench, once available through high-end kitchens only, are impressive, affordable and give the gorgeous illusion of float- ing furniture,'' she reports. ''Recessed cabinet lights create a glow for a relaxed ambience whilst directional accent lighting is popular for highlighting signifi- cant design elements in a room.''

The Germany Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) is sponsoring the TACNET 4.0 – Tactile Internet project with around 6.3 million euros, which will be dispensed to 14 German companies and organizations. Approximately 660,000 euros of this will go to the University of Bremen, where the team lead by Prof. Armin Dekorsy from the Technologie-Zentrum Informatik und Informationstechnik (TZI) will research machine learning methods and processes for processing information and communication networks. TACNET 4.0 will focus on developing concepts and algorithms to enable fast, reliable data transmission via the coming 5G mobile network for communication between man and machines, laying the foundation for further expansion of the network based on the Industry 4.0 concept.
Here, the challenge lies in conceiving a communication system that guarantees reliable data transmission with minimal latency. At the same time, the data volume should be kept as low as possible. The TZI suggests a communication network based on many small, energy-efficient access nodes, a small cell network. For efficient redirection of the high data volume, researchers are looking to develop new machine learning processes so that the access nodes can automatically assess the relevance of a data package.

This is all about experimentation, right?
So why the self-doubt... why do I still expect these sketches to look like finished work? Working toward a specific end is a tough concept to shake.
Reminding myself this is not 'for' anything other than taking the time to be with the materials. Sigh.

The Fat Foot Avenue Chronicles/
By the time I was two; I could recite my name, address and phone number, but as my baby teeth loosened, my pronunciation suffered. Thatford Avenue became Fat Foot Avenue. In my extended family, there was no shortage of relatives who'd laugh out loud at my answer. I didn't mind, even then I liked being the center of attention.
I lived with my parents, a series of stray dogs, Jingles our parakeet and much later, my baby brother in our two-family house. My grandparents, (until they divorced and Grandpa Robbie moved away) lived upstairs with my mother's school-age sisters and a menagerie of critters: There were dogs of every size, color and age, Toby the cat, Blue Boy the parakeet, the goose without a name, fish with very short life expectancies, and a bear. I'm exaggerating about the bear-he was really Mr. Bahr, but I'll save that for another story.
While others attended church on the Lord's Day, my maternal family worshipped Sunday dinners. The picnic table folded behind the living-room sofa was opened and covered with a pressed white cloth. Flowered dishes from a long dead auntie were stacked next to movie theater dish-night freebies and then topped with seconds from the Pitkin Avenue pushcart vendors. The flatware was just as miss-matched; some with flowers, others with crests but none were silver. Recycled jelly jars made up the set. I can't recall a wine glass or beer stein, but shot glasses were strategically placed where needed.
Our winter meals began with sweet-tart grapefruit halves that sparkled back at the ceiling lamp. In summer, pale green honeydew or meaty cantaloupe slices were served first. Crisp salads topped with Grandma's garlic dressing (recipe available-just ask) accompanied bakery fresh breads; ryes and pumpernickel so sinewy and hearty, they could scoop a ham bone right out of your split pea soup.
Main dishes were roast beefs as long as a man's arm and hams dressed in pineapple and maraschino cherries as if we were at a Brooklyn luau. Noodle casseroles and potatoes; fried, boiled, mashed, and gratineed arrived to sop up gravy. All vegetables were fresh; shucked, peeled, diced or sliced that morning. Bowls of apple sauce and pickled anythings were there for the taking. When the dwindling bottle of Johnny Walker signaled the end of dinner, Blackout chocolate layer cakes, rice puddings, glazed fruits, and cream-filled pastries arrived like Viennese table displays.
Hand over hand the platters were passed until emptied, but not just by relatives. Grandma Rose, who had no faith in scripture, fed the needy in biblical proportions. When Sundays arrived, many were called and all were chosen. Spinsters and bachelors, abandoned young wives, teens escaping unhappy homes, and sometimes, whole families in want of a hot meal came to our table. Often the skies had already darkened by the time the leftovers were parceled out.
Kush (I never knew his real name.) was a Sunday regular. Tall and wiry, his shirt sleeves under his jacket revealed frayed cuffs so loose; they slid down to his hands. When he sat cross-legged on the sofa, the detergent box-tops he used to insulate his shoes poked through, making him a living advertisement for Lux Soap. Always the last to leave, he'd place his worn hat on his thinning hair, run his thumb and pointer finger over the rim and make his goodbye with the same joke, "OK, Rose, I'll see ya in choich (church)."
Like Grandma Rose, I love feeding others—I delight in guests who are well fed, happy and even a little tipsy. But, unlike Grandma, I don't take in strangers. The meals I make, feed my heart. Her meals saved lives.

L'Iberty L'Oaf's
L'Iberty L'Oaf's
All orders need to be placed by Midnight Saturday for Monday Bake.
Here's the deal:
We make bread. It's naturally leavened or sour-dough'd or whatever you wanna call it. (It's not cold brew, but it's still pretty good.) It's old school. Prehistoric K. It tastes good and is good for you or at least better for you then most commercially available bread including that little shop down the street. (Whatever, we're littler.) It also lasts much longer than your average loaf of bread and toasts really nicely if you're into that.
Anyway, we make this to order. So think ahead! We happily make it with flour that is locally milled and grown fairly close by too. It's a mix of bread flour and whole-wheat.
It's $5 and ONLY AVAILABLE for LOCAL PICKUP/DELIVERY. I could mail it to you but you've got a local baker somewhere that you should support more. But I'm open to an email if that last part didn't sway you.

Krispin Technologies, Inc. (KTI), a privately held S-Corporation located in Rockville, Maryland, was founded in 1996 to provide state-of-the-art R&D and application services in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). KTI's projects, funded primarily by the U.S. federal government, resulted in several software products (e.g., CATAPULT). Roughly one third of KTI's federally and commercially funded work has been applied towards the R&D of the innovative Vorcat technology. Spurred by a number of technical breakthroughs in the numerical solution of fluid flow phenomena via VorCat, KTI established VorCat, Inc. as a spin-off, C-Corporation for the purpose of commercializeing the VorCat code.
The founders of VorCat, Inc. include the developers of the original, underlying technology as well as experts in related fields. Together they have achieved the breakthroughs in turbulent flow prediction that are implemented in the VorCat software. The management team includes individuals with expertise in technical management, R&D, marketing and sales, accounting, and business law. We have established an excellent reputation, which has led to commitments from several major potential customers and partners to provide in-kind contributions to assist the venture in executing validation (beta-phase) tasks. Other potential customers have contracted the services of VorCat, Inc. for the purpose of demonstrating and benchmarking the performance of the VorCat technology on applications of their own choosing. Potential customers contacted by us uniformly perceive the technology as revolutionary and intriguing and have indicated a strong desire to purchase the technology upon the completion of its development.

There are some people that are genuinely a delight to be around. You know these gems by how you feel when you are in their presence. The exchange flows seamlessly. You are at peace. You're engaged. You feel seen, known, and loved. You look forward to crossing paths with them, and you always feel like the visit was a worthwhile and meaningful use of your time.
What makes these people such lovely company? When someone is comfortable in their own skin, they are able to be with others without judging themselves against others. If they compare, it is more from a place of curiosity and growth, not from one-upmanship. They are open to evolving. There isn't this need to be better than everyone else. They often have their own share of insecurities and desire to be awesome, but they set an internal bar that is about being the very best version of themselves. It is about growth. Potential. Possibility. This kind of mindset allows for acceptance. Vulnerability. Being brave. Real.
Being around insecure, disengaged, and arrogant people has a way of making others feel small because their need to be on top trumps all engagement and connection. They are not interested in really getting to know you because they are so focused on themselves and how others are making them look. It's all about self-referencing. In short, these people make it harder to be authentic because there is not a nourishing ingredient to their being. It is judgment based which only perpetuates defensiveness, fear, and lack of freedom to be vulnerable in a relationship.
How can you be that nourishing being to both yourself and others where you enter all engagement from a place of curiosity and love? In friendship, this is where meaningful exchange occurs, and growth ensues. Operating from the mindset that there is always more, always enough strips away the need to be in competition. We're all in this together.
At the core, our greatest fears are about belonging and being good enough. It is soul-sucking to be in a perpetual state of hustle to stay ahead of the curve and in front of being found out. We lose our ability to connect and be seen and known in relationship. The belief is that once we let our guard down, we are stripped naked and lose our lovability. I would argue that it is just the opposite.
Consider "daring greatly" as Brene Brown would say, and drop the bullshit. Be that person that you like being around. By doing so, you make the world better by helping others be real; and you attract your tribe naturally. A rising tide lifts all boats. Why don't we be more of that for one another? People who are real and vulnerable, kind and curious, brave and scared, engaged and rooted. This is what it is to be human. Go be real. Namaste.

Winter Bridal Session | Titpon, MI
I always love when I get a chance to try something new, and take a chance and go out of my comfort zone. Usually, it ends up with something great as the outcome. This shoot was no different.
I always complain about the snow in Michigan, I have never been a fan of the cold and I wear sweaters when it is 80 and sunny out in the summer. But, I do have some serious love for how the snow looks in the winter. Which was my inspiration behind this session.
Even though it is beautiful, winter is the time of year where few people book. I wanted to show Michiganders, and others that have snow, to take advantage of it. Schedule sessions, even if it is only for 20 minutes, sometimes some of the best images are with the snow. There are some truly beautiful themes you can do with winter.
Of course, I planned this for the middle of December and with Michigan being its usual self, it was in the 50s the day this shoot came up. So, thank the heavens for Photoshop to achieve what I wanted.
I had some amazing models to work with. Personally, I have known Ariana for year, as we went to school together and we have collaborated on a few different shoots. Josh, her fiance, I have only worked with once before and that was during their family photos. Regardless, they were absolute perfection and it makes me excited for them to finally tie that knot!
I want to give a huge thanks to all of the amazing vendors who made this day possible. I appreciate each and every one of you!

New Delhi: Priyank Sharma, who is the ruler of many hearts owing to his charming looks recently took to Instagram to share a heartwarming video. The Bigg Boss 11 contestant was proposed by a fan on Rose Day which moved him to tears.
Here's the video:
Priyank captioned the video as- "And she made the entire jury panel cry today along with me . I just wanna thank you for the kind of emotion you have for me and to all the people who have the mutual feelings . I just feel a little bad that I fail to reply each one of you since it's next to impossible for me . But just want to tell you all and the entire family of mine that I am really thankful to all of you . Without you guys I ain't anything ! It's just makes me nostalgic right now , I LOVE YOU GUYS whatever I am becoming and reaching is because of you guys ."
Adorable, right?
A few days ago, Priyank was in Switzerland with actress Tejasswi Prakash, shooting for an upcoming project. The handsome hunk is quite popular on social media and has a huge female fan following. He was ousted from Bigg Boss 11 by Salman Khan because of his violent behaviour inside the house within the first few days. However, Priyank's fan-following was the reason he was asked to come back to the show.

With reporting from Alexis Daish
Melbourne nightclub "king" Darren Thornburgh is believed to have been battling serious drug problems prior to his death at his holiday home.
The 53-year-old divorced dad was discovered by police about 4pm yesterday with a fatal gunshot wound on a mattress on the verandah in the tiny town of Barmah, near the border of New South Wales.
Nicknamed "Razzle", Mr Thornburgh was the owner of the popular nightclub Boutique in Prahran and was famous for courting celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Molly Meldrum.
Sources told 9NEWS that the entrepreneur had been battling serious drug problems prior to his death, which has been deemed not suspicious by police.
It's also understood that a landlord had recently evicted him from Boutique, which is currently shuttered.
Today investigators seized the weapon used in the death of Mr Thornburg, along with a computer hard drive.
His white Range Rover, parked in front of the Barmah property, was also searched.
"We're not looking for any other person in relation into the death," Sergeant Joy Arbuthnot from Victoria Police said this afternoon.
Sgt. Arbuthnot said an investigation is ongoing.
Mr Thornburgh owned a number of properties in the Barmah area, along with the local pub, the Barmah Hotel.
A local who had known the father-of-two for 13 years told 9NEWS she has never had "any trouble" with him, and that the Barmah properties was the nightclub owner's "hideaway" from Melbourne.
"He was a lovely guy... it's horrendous," Kerry Lewis said of the 53-year-old's death.
Another resident said they last saw Mr Thornburgh alive on Saturday night, when he had friends over.
"Everything looked normal," the local said.
Others told 9NEWS "Razzle" used to listen to music at his holiday house, and would be seen driving his golf buggy to and from the pub across the road.
On Mr Thornburgh's Facebook page, his relationship status was listed as single.
In October last year, detectives were probing whether an organised crime gang chasing debts was responsible for a drive-by shooting at Mr Thornburgh's ex-wife's home in Port Melbourne.
His 13-year-old daughter and ex-wife, Denise, were inside when four shots penetrated the residence, close to the bedrooms.
That shooting happened one week after a gunman fired a 12-gauge long arm shotgun at his nightclub.
Five years before the string of shootings, Mr Thornburgh was reportedly declared bankrupt.

The theme of the campaign is nice (like the Elantra) and not nice (like slipping on a banana skin).
Here's the main ad:
Quite amusing.
This BBC story, meanwhile, is about a nice advert.
At least I think it is very nice.
It features a very nice Bobby Ewing-era Merc SL and a very attractive woman on a bike.
And this picture:
Which seems a bit cruel to the very attractive woman on the bike.
But five people with incredibly dull lives thought the advert was not nice.
They complained to the Advertising Standards Authority and caused the advert to be banned because the very attractive woman on a bike isn't wearing a helmet.
A helmet isn't a legal requirement and would have messed up the hair of the very attractive woman on a bike.
And the ad isn't even aimed at cyclists, it's aimed at motorists warning them to give cyclists like the very attractive woman on a bike plenty of room.
As well as thinking those five people and the Advertising Standards Authority are not nice, I also think this caradvice.com.au story is not nice. Basically, it is saying that BMW are working on an app to pump adverts into your car or, as they put it, "develop solutions for context-adaptive, personalised filtering of large volumes of real-time offers generated by location-based service providers".
I see that article as an advert to not buy a BMW.
Not nice.

Vertical mill as a milling equipment commonly used in the production, and other equipment coordinate the timely completion of all kinds of complicated task. In the production process, due to various reasons may lead to reduced the effect of screen machine vibration grinding, the qualified rate of the finished product is low, affect the overall efficiency of enterprises. So according to these effects of test factors of vertical roller mill price, following up and have a look.
Speaking of material properties must first machine sieve from using vibration test. During the grinding of the time, the general density and in bulk material grinding efficiency is high, easy to be screened out, and some small density showed the powdered material is not easy to grinding, making the low grinding efficiency of the whole.This requires the selection of the time, attention must be paid to the basic properties of selected materials and components, small vibration are selected according to these basic properties of rational screen so that it can ensure the efficiency of grinding efficiency.
Vertical roller mill when it is running, the impact for the grinding efficiency and screen the structural parameter. The first sieve surface length will bring great effect on efficiency of grinding, this requires the user to the length and width of the screen according to production needs reasonable choice at the time of production.

Hannibal's Children is the 2002 alternate history novel by John Maddox Roberts.
The novel opens at the alternate close of the Second Punic War. Hannibal offers terms to the Romans: abandon your city and move north of the Alps, or be destroyed. The Romans, under the dictator Q. Fabius Maximus, accept the offer and withdraw into Germania, vowing to return. The Carthaginians declare victory and go home.
One chapter and several generations later, the Romans have long since reestablished their republic. These Romans, largely out of need, have adopted a practice of Cultural Romanization more pronounced than the historical Romans did: large numbers of Germans have been adopted into the Roman society, forming a large proportion of both the legions and the Senate. A series of auspicious omens prompt the Senate to send a delegation south into Latium. The expedition leaders are subtly but immediately at cross purposes: the commander, Marcus Scipio, a scion of the ancient patrician Cornelii Scipiones family, is wholly motivated by a desire to reestablish the Republic in the Mediterranean basin. His deputy, Titus Norbanus, one of the newer, Germanic Romans, seeks personal glory, at least in part to ensure that the Germans (particularly his own family) remain as powerful within the expanded Republic as they do under the current scheme.
It quickly becomes clear to the Romans that generations of constant warfare in Germania have strengthened them, whereas the Carthaginians have grown soft in the absence of real opposition. The Republic quickly begins playing the Carthaginians off against the Egyptians, the only other serious power in the Mediterranean, reclaiming Latium in the process. At the close of the novel, the Egyptian army led by Scipio and armed with fearsome weapons from the School of Archimedes from the Library of Alexandria, outlasts the Carthaginian force, which hurriedly retreats upon hearing the news of the Roman reconquest of Italy. The four Roman legions led by Norbanus, technically Carthaginian auxiliaries, decide to ignore Scipio's offer to join him in Alexandria, and chart their own path to Rome.
As with Roberts's other series, Hannibal's Children and its sequel The Seven Hills explore the decline of the Republic in the face of ambition. In the former, the Caesars and in the latter Norbanus aggressively pursue power for its own sake, in the process exposing weaknesses in the Republic.

Q: "How much credence do you place in the 1- to 5-star ratings of lenders that many online mortgage sites provide based on reports from borrowers?"
A: Very little. For one thing, borrower ratings are based on a single experience covering a complicated process extending over several weeks. A good restaurant reviewer returns to a restaurant being reviewed four or five times, but a mortgage borrower is limited to one exposure, which might or might not be typical or representative.
Basing a judgment on only one unit of experience would not be that large a handicap if the borrower were well equipped to make an informed judgment, but many — if not most — are not. While most restaurant reviewers know a lot about food preparation, few mortgage borrowers know much about mortgages when they begin the process. This makes their interpretations of what transpires vulnerable to misperceptions.
Here is an example: A borrower receives a price quote of 4.5 percent at 1 point on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, and requests the lender to lock that price. The lender won't lock, however, until it has received some additional information, which takes several days to obtain, during which period the market changes. This is a common occurrence today because underwriting requirements are tight and enforced.

DCWS connects with San Antonio's finest Ronnie Lott for exclusive interview/
Ronnie Lott is a 23-year old musician, producer, and entertainer who just released a very DOPE new single entitled 'Trophy', produced by his frequent collaborator J-Nice. Ronnie's musical influences include Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Marvin Gaye and he aspires to be remembered as one of the greats just as they are. This San Antonio based artist recently released two videos, "Kriss Kross" and "Keyauna", and will soon be dropping his third LP "Nothing is Forever", so he is new to some listeners but is an experienced vet to his fans. We connected with Ronnie to find out how he got his start in music, learn more about the rap scene in his hometown, find out what we can expect from his new album and much more.
Carlton Boyd
How did you get your start with the music? What made you want to pick up the pen and pad?
I grew up in a music family so music is something I inherited. My father is a musician who plays pretty much any instrument so growing up in that environment really brought me closer to music.
As I've gotten older around 11/12 years old I really got into producing and writing. I would watch guys like Ryan Leslie, Johnny Juliano, and The Dream. They really inspired me to do both so little by little I would focus on writing a song to my beats and try to sell the song to a better artist like those guys would do. But as time progressed I progressed and the songs I was selling were actually sounding better when I rapped or sang on them. It kind of took off from there.
If you had to describe your music in three words, what words would you choose?
Fun, relative, and polarizing.
To most music fans when asked about Texas rap music, the first thought that comes to mind is Houston and to an extent, Dallas. What's going on San Antonio in terms of rap music? (I'll admit you are the first rap artist I have heard of from the city).
Well Houston is like our LA in Texas sort to speak, they have the market for music. There so much history there in hip hop that you have no choice but to go there and scout talent because a lot of the talented artist in Texas move there for that reason. It's an incredible place with incredible people who love and support there artist till the wheels fall. The Radio stations, the Djs, they break there artist. Dallas is the same they have a history as well, someone has set the bar there to gain national attention. That's something that San Antonio hasn't had the opportunity to have yet, someone who breaks out in hip hop on the national stage. Not saying that there's no one who can do it because there's a lot of talent in San Antonio, it's just the market isn't too hip hop friendly so a lot of guys go to Houston, go to Austin, even out of state to a better hip hop market. That's basically the situation in San Antonio but hopefully I can change that.
We at DCWS love your new track 'Trophy'; when I listen to it, I get a sense of Drake in your cadence and flow. I can imagine that fans of his music will gravitate toward yours. Are you often compared to him?
From time to time not as much. I guess it's hard being a light skinned artist who sings and raps with a Texas accent now without being compared to Drake lol. But I'm blessed to even have a comparison with that guy he's obviously turning into a mogul and if his fans are my fans that's a blessing in itself. But I want to have my own fans I want people to love me and my music for what it is and not because I sound like there favorite artist. I wanna be able to do the same for them and build a relationship through music.
What can your fans and new followers of your music expect from your upcoming album 'Nothing is Forever'?
They can expect timeless music, and a great story. I've been working endlessly on this album with J-Nice (my producer) and it is definitely on a level and quality that people want to hear. To all my new followers who just became fans of my music, I suggest you listen to my previous albums just to embrace the amount of progression my self and new wave have made. It will really make the album that much better.

Waterslide Telebacker Harmony Red w/Mahogany Neck & Jaon Lollar Imperial Humbuckers, Hardshell Case
Waterslide Telebacker Harmony Red w/Mahogany Neck & Jaon Lollar Imperial Humbuckers, Hardshell Case
This is one of my newest custom made Waterslide Telebacker guitars and it's all "Made in the USA". This body shape is derived from a 1950s Rickenbacker Combo 800, same shape that Fano uses on their RB6. As with all of my guitars, if you like the guitar but would prefer a different neck, pickguard, pickups, etc, just send me a message and we'll see what we can do.
This guitar features a lightweight Knotty Pine body with a 'Harmony Red' Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish that's been lightly relic'd and aged. The whole guitar weighs in at 5lbs 14oz total so it's LIGHT with great balance & no neck dive.
The Mahgany neck has a nice Medium C (.83 X .93) profile with a 25.5" scale length. It's 1 11/16" at the nut with a 10" radius and 6150 Medium Jumbo frets. It has a light, slightly tinted satin finish that feels great and will not get sticky when playing.
The pickups are Jason Lollar Imperial Humbuckers with his Standard Wind. They sound as great as everyone says and they're some of the best vintage style humbuckers available anywhere.
There's also CTS audio taper pots, a 3-way switch, Sprague Orange Drop, cloth covered wiring and an Electro Socket jack. The vintage style radio knobs are easy to grab and look great when the light hits 'em.
The chopped Tele bridge can also function as a top loader if you want to experiment with tone & string tension. The brass saddles are compensated for accurate intonation.
Great parts and great care go into these guitars and this one comes in a hardshell case for $1,349 + Shipping to wherever you are. Please email me for international shipping rates.
I also take custom orders, check out my website Waterslideguitars.com
