Middle Velma Lake Trail is a 7.9 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Tahoma, California that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
Beautiful, but there's a 600+ lb California Brown bear that's way to comfortable with people and knows how to bring down a properly hung bear bag.
Did this as a day hike with a stutdy 9 year old and a daypack from Eagle Falls starting at 8am in mid July. Steady climb for about 2 miles with great landscapes. As you descend towards the Velma lakes the trail crosses a stream, which I could imagine being easy to miss or inaccessible with higher flows. The trail gets within 200-300 yds of Middle Velma, you have to scramble through boulders to get to the shore which isnt too tough. Tried to fly fish the lake in a few spots but saw nothing. Heard the park service is clearing fish from these lakes to restore Yellow Legged Frogs, fwiw. Bring insect repellant. Passed many backpackers who had overnighted at Dicks, Fontanellis and elsewhere.
Nice hike with some great views and plenty of places to pull off and enjoy. Lots of people if you get there anytime after 8-9am. Couldn't make it all the way, as there was still snow on the trail. Parking at the trailhead or along the road.
Fantastic views. Very busy with a lot of dogs. Wonderful hike.
Decent trail a lot of ice in December
Would be great in spring
Started from the campsite near Inspiration Point. Parking was a mess. Trail is pretty steep for the first 2 miles or so from the campsite parking until you reach the turn off to Maggie's Peak. 4.5 miles to Velma from this trailhead.
Trail was almost entirely clear of snow all the way to Middle Velma. We ended up staying the night at the "small" lake marked on the map right before Middle Velma. We were not able to continue on the main trail to the main lake due to high water levels. LOTS of water this time of year. And mosquitos. Still, beautiful trail in a stunning area of California.
Wife and I hiked to Upper Velma for an overnight trip. This was our first backpacking trip in the Tahoe region and my wife's first backpack trip ever. We started on a Monday because I knew the trailhead would be crazy on the weekend. We got there too late (10am) to get a parking spot in either of the parking lots. Show up at dawn if you don't want to park on the street!
The first 100 yards is very busy as tourists walk to the bridge and pool just above Eagle Falls. Quite a few day hikers going up and down from Eagle Lake which a mile from the trailhead. Eagle Lake is gorgeous and lots of people were swimming. It was busy and I didn't want to rest around all the noise so we didn't stay long. The lakes and streams feeding Lake Tahoe seem to be much warmer than Tahoe itself.
Lots of climbing in the first 2.5 miles! After that the hike is more moderate. One highlights of the trail is the butterscotch-scented Jeffrey pine that are scattered along the trail.
Views of Tahoe are few and narrow, but pretty. The higher you get the prettier the landscape is. At about 3.6 miles, just before you connect with the Bayview trail, you can leave the trail to a low dome of granite on the right. This point is visible from far below on the trail. Only from this dome can you see the waterfalls far below as water leaving the Velma Lakes cascades down toward Eagle Lake. It's only a hundred feet or so of rock hopping to get to this vantage point.
Another .9 miles brings you to the fork where you could go left to Dick's Lake (next time!). From there it's 1.2 miles to the fork at the Velmas. Upper to the left, Middle ahead, and Lower leaving the trail to the right.
The trail continues west of Upper Velma and disappears when you reach the outflow from Lake Fontanillis. Maps show the trail continuing to the next stream but we only found remnants of the trail in a few spots. We went around the south edge of the lake and found a site not far from the stream that comes in from the southeast. Upper Velma's primary source is the waterfall leaving Lake Fontanillis. This waterfall is a must see! There's a nice pool to dip in at the bottom of the cascade. Tuesday morning we climbed the smooth granite slope up to Lake Fontanillis for an amazing view of the Upper Velma Valley with Tahoe beyond.
Carry bug spray if you are hiking in the summer. There are a lot of lush areas and even the drier areas have skeeters! A worker at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center warned us that the Velma Lakes all have lots of mosquitoes.
I gave this trail four stars because it is crowded on the lower portion. Some of this busy area is narrow and difficult to move for others to pass. The trail is in excellent shape though it is easy to lose in places where it traverses smooth granite slopes. Many have shortcut the trail in rocky places, so we tried to help with trail maintenance and redefine edges. Some trail edges are lined with rocks which definitely helps stay on the path!

LA Times: Are Film Subsidies Worth It?
(LA Times) —
Tired of seeing Hollywood take its business elsewhere, California is moving to triple tax subsidies for film and TV productions, boosting incentives to $330 million annually and making the state competitive with New York, Georgia and other states that are courting the entertainment industry with ever-richer incentives.
The action is widely seen as necessary to stop thousands of jobs from leaving Southern California, where most studios and production companies are based and would prefer to work if costs are roughly equivalent.
Yet it comes amid growing national debate about the value of film tax breaks and whether they create new jobs, or merely shift work from one place to another. Some fear California's move may, in fact, escalate a bidding war among states eager to claim a share of the world's most glamorous industry.
While these tax credits have been highly effective at luring production out of California, their long-term economic benefits have been questioned by several independent studies.

Review: The Body Shop Vitamin E Facial Oil |
Wow i have really been loving these cheeky 40% off body shop has been having lately. I always have mini lists as i love so much of the products that they have. Everything i have tried i have never been left disappointed!! After using and loving the Vitamin E Sink In Moisture Mask (which is on its last legs at the moment) and seeing so much of a difference in my skin i thought i would dabble in more of the Vitamin E range so the facial oil really appealed to me and after ordering i eagerly awaited the arrival.
The Vitamin E range provides a high dose of moisture back into the skin leaving it looking more plumped, soft and hydrated. Being a fan of facial oils and seeing the difference they make to my skin and with the colder months i thought that this would really help keep my skin moisturised. The facial oil is packed with essential oils including rose to help soothe the skin and the senses aswell as this it is also rich in essential fatty acids that help to restore the skin's moisture barrier and help to keep it smooth and supple. The oil has a mild scent of roses so it isnt too overpowering and the feel of the oil is very light in consistency which sinks into the skin quickly.The oil is a lovely pre treatment before moisturiser which will help to boost moisture levels and nourish the skin.
I use approx 2 drops before my moisturiser or sometimes i mix it in and the results in the morning are amazing. My skin is left looking fresh, radiant and plumped up. After using this for a good month i have noticed that whenever i get blemishes they heal alot quicker with a dose of this facial oil every couple of days and any pesky dry patches on my face are cleared in a couple of days. I think that this will last a good while to as i havent used much and still have over 3/4 left. I use this at night as i find it gives my skin a much better dose of moisture and it hasnt broken me out or clogged my pores which is a bonus.
If you are after a light oil through the chill cold months and want to help rid of dry patches or add a dose of extra moisture then this is a lovely product to try.

Autumn Beauty Picks |
So as the nights go darker quicker and the weather is getting colder its time to change up the makeup look. As ive said before im a very simple makeup girl and tend to stick to the same things for awhile but as its a new season i slightly change the products ive used. Ive chosen two products for eyes, lips and blusher which are the ones i use on a regular basis.
Eyes - For the autumn months i like to wear a stronger eye look then normal which includes one of my favourite eyeshadows. The shade is called 'Mocha' which is a lovely rich bronzy colour from ELF. Its finely pigmented and creates such a lovely intense look. To pair up with this i use the MUA 'pearl' eyeshadow for a brow highlighter and inner corner. It really helps to open the eyes in a subtle way. I then like to add a thin eyeliner look thats close to the lashes to define them slightly.
Blusher - I am a big blusher lover and i think it really can add warmth to your face which is something that i need more in the colder months as my skin goes very dull. To help perk up them cheeks i have loved using the Maxfactor Miracle Blush in 'soft cardinal' which i have spoke about recently. Its a lovely bright pink colour that is a natural flush colour and perfect for paler skin tones as it really warms the skin up. On other days i have dug out one of my powder Illamasqua blushers 'Allure' which is a pretty muted coral colour with fine bits of sparkle added which adds a subtle glow to the skin. Both of them are my go to for this season.
Lips - I have two colours for autumn which i tend to stick to either a nude or a bold coral colour. For the bold lip look i have been using the NYC lipstick in 'smooch' which is a pretty pinky red colour. It makes my teeth look so white and i love wearing this dabbed on the lips after some balm likewise the ELF lipstick in 'natural nymph' a lovely nude colour that is suited to my skin tone and perks up my everyday look to make me look more natural fresh faced.
What are your autumn beauty picks this year?

Boots & Superdrug Haul |
I thought i would share with you all my recent purchases from Superdrug and Boots. I didnt seem to find alot of things as i was in a complete rush. Hoping my next trip i can spend a good hour so in there which can easily be done.
First of all in Superdrug i only picked up one item which is a repurchase - the Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser. I have spoke about this before in a post and i absolutely adore it. Sometimes shop own brands can be misleading in my eyes i never think they are going to be great due to the fact they are so cheap to buy but my opinion has quickly changed with this cleanser. Its a rich cleanser but at the same time lightweight so its not something that is like a balm but it still feels like you are getting a high dose of moisture. I think this is a good product to have on rotation so maybe one day your face may be feeling abit dry and pop this on and you are good to go. Its so affordable and the results are noticed after first use.
Next part is Boots - I picked up some more cotton pads which i like to get the baby extra large ones as one cotton pad is all you need to get rid of everything. You also get 75 in the pack which lasts a good couple of months with me. I decided to try a new deodrant as im getting bored with the same one i use. I chose the Mitchum Advanced Control Unscented. This is amazing and i actually like the no fragrance too it as sometimes i find that the scents can be too strong.
The last things i picked up was two things from Dove - the Nutrive Solutions Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo and Intensive Repair Mask. After using the Dove Leave in Conditioner which now is one of my favourite products to use i thought i would dabble more into the brand. Both of these were on offer at the time which i cant resist a bargain. They both offer hydrating to the hair and helping to get it back into good condition. Looking forward to trying both of these out.

Review: Vichy Dermablend Foundation In Opal |
I have had always had breakout prone skin from my teenage years and the thing that most affects me is the scarring that is left behind. Over the years i have caked myself in foundation just to be able to cover these minor imperfections and to others it will look minor but to me it was always a big deal. The past year i have been using foundation less and less and opting to get in a good skincare routine habit which has totally helped to clear up my skin from how it used to be and i still help to control it by testing new products aswell.
I was considering buying the Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover foundation but after watching Lisa Eldridges Video on how to cover acne i decided against it. Her advice when it comes to foundation and skin especially breakout prone is less is more which means that spending more time on the area where your skin isnt as breakout or enhancing a feature. So mainly for me i focus on my eyes and cheeks to enhance them. Lisa explains that you dont need a heavy foundation to cover up everything on your face as for example 10% of your face could be breakout and the rest is healthy skin. So as i watched her use the Vichy Dermablend Foundation i had to try it for myself.
Lisa uses the foundation as a pin point spot concealer with a fluffy brush. A light base beforehand and then concealing on top. The Vichy Foundation is a corrective one where it gives total coverage to imperfections which offers twice the coverage of a normal one.
The wear time is second to none providing you apply a primer beforehand to make sure it stays place all day. It has a lovely blendable texture without being cakey at all. What i really love about using this foundation as a concealer is how well it covers spots and breakout scarring and is something that i would of never considered to have done or used before. It has really helped to give me that confidence to wear less makeup and more natural skin to shine through.
Im not too keen that comes in a tube as only a little is needed and sometimes too much product comes out. I like applying powder to help set everything in place afterwards. Opal is the lightest shade and is very yellow toned for my liking but as im onl spot concealing and pin pointing it is easily blendable to match my skintone.
I think that this a great product to try especially if you have any skin problems or redness that you want to cover up and its also well worth the money in the long run too so it will last awhile.
Have you tried this product before?

Recent French Skincare Purchases |
After hearing alot of great things about french skincare brands and having tried Bioderma and La Roche Posay before i thought that i would try some other products out too. I was watching Lisa Eldridge Youtube French Pharmacie video and it meant me really excited to try some more products. I love france particularly Paris as ive been so many times and its such a lovely cultural place and the shops are gorgeous. Id love to go back!! Anyway after watching the video i searched for a few of the products and got ordering straight away.
The first product i ordered was from La Roche Posay. The Cicaplast ProRecovery is a product that accelerates reconstruction of the skin barrier and is a soothing moisturising treatment that relieves itchiness and tight sensations. This is also advised to use after minor dermatological procedures too. Its a gel like texture but soon as it touches the skin it feels like silk and sinks in the skin almost second after. I really think that this a great product for the face as the weather is getting colder and eespecially my skin becomes much more drier and this aims to accelerate the repair of the skin within a couple of days. You could use this with any dry patches you many have or if your skin becomes inflammed or sore due to the weather. I have been so impressed with how light yet really nourishing this product is.
The next product is from Biodermas Sebium Range. I have never tried anything from the sebium range so i was eager to try them out. I brought two items from this range. The Sebium Pore Refiner is a great addition for your everyday make up base. If you suffer with clogged or enlarged pores then this really helps to make them less visible but also making makeup application easier. When smoothed on the skin it makes your skin so soft. Aswell as tightening the pores it helps the texture of the skin. This is aimed for people who suffer with blemishes and i am so happy that this is in my life. I use this on my tzone and chin and it helps keep shine at bay but also helping to soothe blemishes.
The last product also from the Bioderma Sebium range is the serum. Now this was one that i havent heard much about and i have been testing it for 3 weeks now. Its a purifying concentrate that helps to soothe and reduce blemishes whilst trying to add abit of radiance to your complexion. This is suited for combination to oily skin with persistent blemishes. The serum is light in texture and sinks well into the skin. I decided to use this after cleansing and toning and leaving it just on its own without any creams on top to give it more of a boost and effectiveness to my skin. It suggests to use this every other day for 4 weeks which is what i have been doing. I absolutely LOVE this, i cannot even explain my love for it. From first use i noticed my blemishes were almost halved and seemed to be less angry and red. This has also helped to clear them up quickly and more effectively then other products i have. I still want to trial it for a longer period but im so so happy with the results.
Have you tried any french brands for skincare?

Affordable Purchase: Maxfactor Miracle Creamy Blusher in Soft Cardinal |
Cream Blushers have fast become one of my favourite types of blushers. They are so versatile and last amazingly well all day. I was looking for a blusher that would help to give me a healthy glow which would add a pop of colour to my cheeks which would look completely natural too. I decided to try the Maxfactor Miracle Creamy Blusher in the shade Soft Cardinal.
The packaging is a simple black casing with a translucent lid which helps to clearly identify the colour. The size is tiny but is ideal for travelling or on the go. The colour is a lovely bright pink that has a slight red tone to it and a dash of shimmer that is hardly visible but helps to create a subtle glow. Its a quite a sheer texture and i like to apply abit at a time to the apples of my cheek to build up the colour slowly. The pigmentation is amazing quality and adds a nice healthy flush to the cheeks.
I think that this colour is perfect for pale skins especially with the red tone as it adds a lovely bit of warmth to the face. I love everything about this blusher and can see it to be an everyday staple of mine in months to come.
Have you tried this blusher?

Body Shop Haul |
I love Body Shop as a brand as i am a big fan of the ethics they believe in and also how amazing quality the products are at such affordable prices. The other day browsing my emails and i found a cheeky 40% off they were having online. I always have mini lists waiting for a body shop sale as they seem to have them alot. I didnt find alot of items that i wanted as they were out of stock but im so happy with the ones i did purchase.
The first item which was abit of a random purchase was a plain white material headband. All this year i have been on top form with my skin and looking after it as much as i can. Applying masks and various other products somehow always ends up in the front of my hair which is so annoying. This headband is perfect. It fits so snug and holds your hair back whilst tending to your face needs. Ive seen brands sell these for alot more money so this was a bargain in my eyes.
I seem to have a mango obsessions. Im eating mangos, drinking mangos and wanting everything mango. As soon as i clicked on the mango items i knew it wouldnt take me long before one click and they would be in the basket. I decided in getting both the shower gel and the beautifying oil. Ive had the shower gels before and they are so dreamy. Not overly powering with the scents but do a good job of giving the skin a little bit of hydrating and also keeping you squeaky clean. The oil is completely new for me and ive never had a body oil before so this hopefully good things will happen. Both smell absolutely divine and i cant wait to try them both.
Lastly ive been upping the amount of time i spend on my feet and making sure they are in tip top condition. As soon as the weather changes my feet go completely dry. I already have the pepermint moisture foot butter and i thought to team up with that and give my feet abit more of a pamper i would try the pepermint reviving foot soak. This is meant to revitalise your feet but also help cleanse your feet too. I know what il be doing tonight.
What are your body shop wishlist items?

Review: Ren Invisible Pores Detox Mask |
Ren has fast become one of my favourite skincare brands this year simply for the fact that the products that i have tried have given the results promised. At affordable prices and quality products you cant go wrong. Having been impressed with the Smooth and Renew Mask i thought i would try out the Invisible Pores Detox Mask having heard alot of great reviews.
I love the packaging for Ren as its so simple and ideal that its a clear tube which helps you to see how much product you have left. Also the idea that the masks come with a nozzle and a small cap is great for making sure that the product doesnt dry up or oozing all over the place.
The Invisible Pores Detox mask is clay based which is aimed at oily/combination skins and aims to draw out impurites and reduce the size of pores and blackheads. It has a slight lavender scent which i find really relaxing and helps to get you in the pampering mood. I leave the mask on for about 15 minutes with a thin layer as the more you apply the longer you have to wait. I like to remove this with a flannel as i find it gives a more gentle helping hand and a slight exfoliation at the same time. The texture is a creamy number which is unlike anything i have tried before and it feels ever so fresh feeling on the skin too. This is such a gentle masks that no redness occurs afterwards and it feel so soothing with the lavandar oils aswell.
I found that this mask really helped to control and soothe any breakouts that i had and with continued use it would help to keep everything under control. My pores were alot less smaller which was a bonus. Overally i really really like this mask and i think i need a few more uses to see the continued results but after a couple of uses i love the way it looks and makes my skin feel. Ren you have made another excellent product!!
Have you tried this mask from Ren before?

Small Primark Haul |
I havent been Primark shopping in awhile and ive seen so many lovely things. They are definately giving the likes of Topshop and New Look a run for the money as majority of the items are bang on trend and so much more cheaper. Im abit of a mix and match i like to have a few higher end purchases aswell as cheaper ones too. Its always good to find a bargain!!
I have been really getting in to wearing plain tops and then jazzing them up abit with some chunky jewellery. This is just a plain black tshirt with mesh sleeves. The top isnt sheer either and is abit different then your average tshirt. £4.00
I am a big fan of skater dresses as i think that they are really flattering on myself and it suits my shape aswell. If you could guess by my blog design i am a big lover of leopard print and this may look abit trashy to some but im going dress it down with a black blazer, tights and boots which i think will be perfect for autumn. This was one of the £5 wow dresses.
Quilted clothing seems to be big in the shops at the moment and i actually saw a quilted jumper in topshop i really wanted but everytime i went in they never had my size online or in store so when i spotted this one i just had to buy it. Its got grey quilted sleeves then a white panel. Its a lovely material that is very warm so will be ideal to layer in winter too. £8.00
Again carrying on with the quilted theme. This black quilted tshirt is lovely. I love that its completely plain with a jewelled edging by the pocked which adds abit of something to the design. Its not sheer at all and is quite thick material. Im after the white one next time. £6.00
I spotted this lovely marl jumper on the sale rack and for £3.00 you cant grumble. Its a lovely slouchy jumper that is ideal for autumn so would keep you nice and warm layered up.
Lastly i brought this snood scarf for £3.00 i love the colour and the printed bows im abit addicted to scarves as they are so versatile. The necklace is so pretty for £3.00 and im going be teaming this again with plain tops.

The Two Bold Lip Choice |
I am not an overly massive lip girl to be honest and if you are a regular reader of my blog then im much a nail/skincare girl but still love a lot of makeup too. Recently i have had a bit of a change in my makeup and trying switch things up. A night out planned in advance was the perfect excuse to experiment with a new makeup look - the bold lips. You might be reading this thinking why on earth doesnt she wear bold lips as they are a classic look but for me i just never thought i would get the perfect combination right. My night outfit was a little black dress number that had some pretty detailing but i didnt want to overdo my makeup so the bold lip was put into action.
I started applying my makeup with a subtle bronzed cheek, a lot of mascara but nothing on the lids as i wanted the main focus to be the lipstick. The two colours that helped achieve my look was the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in 111 Kiss of life and Rimmel Apocalips in 402 Across the Universe. They are the perfect match as the Kate Moss colour is very matte but the Apocalips draws out more colour and a slight gloss to the lips. I really loved the combination of them both and i think that a classic red look can give an instant makeover and can make it appear that you have made some real effort!!
Do you wear a red lip on nights out?

The 10 Minute Quick Makeup |
Ever had the moment where its cold outside and its time for you to get up so you keep snoozing your alarm again and again until you are left with not long to get ready to start your day. This has been happening to me all week ive just been so tired and especially with the weather being so cold.
The first thing i have been doing instead of my normal morning skincare routine just applying the Loreal Micellar Solution to two cotton pads sweeping them all over my face just to get any grim from my nights sleep. This literally takes 10 seconds and no less.
Next i apply some moisturiser to my face and the one that i adore so much is the La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat as it sinks in quickly and doesnt leave you with a sticky or greasy face. Its a perfect base for makeup too and makes my makeup last all day.
After the moisturising i apply the Rimmel BB Cream in light very slightly all over my face as i like abit of colour but nothing too heavy and using your fiingers to apply this is such a quick no faff process. The coverage is a good light/medium but can be built up if you have the extra time. This BB cream also helps to cover up blemishes so i just tend to use a small angled brush to spot apply precisely on any breakouts.
Once my base has been applied evenly i then go in with the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer to hide any darkness under my eyes. I use my ring finger to apply this with abit of blending and its done.
For the cheeks i normally go for a cream blusher when i need to get ready quickly - the one product for this is the Bourjois Cream Blush in 01 its a lovely natural peachy pink and using my fingers to dab onto the apples of my cheeks creates a natural flush of colour. Takes less then 10 seconds to apply.
I then curl my eyelashes to make my eyes appear wider and alive. I use the Cosmopolitan ones for now they are pretty average so i need to invest in better ones but as i have naturally quite curly lashes this just adds a slight definition to my lashes.
Pop on abit of colour to the eye lids which i use the Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick - Bulletproof Beige which is a gorgeous champagne gold colour. It really makes my blue eyes stand out.
After my lashes are curled they are then ready for a coating of mascara. The Seventeen Dolled Up Mascara is perfect for natural lashes and an everyday look.
I then quickly use my Elf Lip Exfoliator thats in the form of a lipstick to gently get rid of dead skin and then im ready for a coating of lipgloss from Rimmels Vinyl Gloss which is a pretty peachy colour.
What do you think of my 10 minute easy makeup look?

Palette Of The Month: MUA Heaven & Earth Palette |
Having recently discovering this beauty again and using it every single day i just had to express my love even more for it. Even though its been featured in my latest monthly faves i just had to mention it as its a firm fave of mine. As the nights come more darker and the weather gets more colder i find that 'autumnal colours' are very much needed to be brought into life. The plain jane of eyes (me) is long gone as im experimenting much more with smokey, warmer tones on the eyelids and having more darker colours blended in the crease. This palette is one of the best that i have used. 1. the price tag is amazingly affordable at a mere £4.00. 2. the colours are highly pigmented and blendable. 3. possibly a couple of chalky colours but that is it. 4. possible mac dupes. 5. easy to work with.
The shades of the palette ranges from a soft highlighting shade, copper, muddy browns and dark browns which all can be used as one swipe on the lid of blended for more intense fun looks. I like to use the very lightest shade as an inner corner highlight as its not overly shimmery and really opens the eyes. I love experimenting with all of the colour shades and its made me get into creating more daring eye looks much more.
If you are on a budget and are after a good trust working eye palette selection that can be mixed up and suits all skin tones then look no further. This palette is the ONE.

Review: La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat |
La Roche Posay is a brand i have heard so much about in the blogging/beauty world. After Caroline Hirons mentioned about the Serozinc which i have also done a review on its always left me wanting to try more. A recent chat to Jen and asking for a cheapish moisturiser that helps battle breakouts at the same time she recommended for me to try the Effaclar Mat. That very same day i ordered the moisturiser and was so eager for it arrive. I have no expectations of this product at all and straight away as it arrived i put it to the test.
The texture is a gel like consistency and very lighweight. As soon as the cream touches your skin it sinks in almost immediately leaving you with a no tacky feeling or residue. From first use i noticed that my pores were not very noticeable which i thought at first there was something wrong with my eyesight but continued use proved i was right. The moisturiser leaves you with a shine free face but at the same time packed with hydration. I would think that this is great for a base makeup but i have yet to test this as im trying out other bases. It really helps to keep your skin matte all day and is perfect for oily/combo skin. I have actually noticed that with using this moisturiser my breakouts are less frequent but also it really helps to clear them up too. I have been using this just in the morning as i find at night i need something a little more richer but overall this product could quite possibly be a holy grail in my eyes. Keeps your face matte all day check, helps breakouts/soothes them check, No greasy/oily residue check, All of the three things i want in a moisturiser.
Have you tried out this moisturiser?

Nail Add Ons: Sally Hansen Green Tea + Bamboo Nail Strengthener & Rimmel Ultra Shine Top Coat |
If you are a big nail lover like myself and love switching up the colour on your nails weekly then finding products that give your nails a much needed boost or shine may be something you look for but not necessarily have in your stash. My nails lately have become really dry and somewhat brittle and to have no colour on my nails it just feels weird but for a good week or so this is my aim to let them have a big of downtime away from polish. Wearing nail polish frequently actually wears your nails down even though it may not show signs and once in a blue moon i catch a glimpse of them looking bleak. Ive had the Sally Hansen Tea + Bamboo Nail Strengthener for a little while and it is my go to nail aid. It aims to bond and seal fragile nail layers to resist breaking and with regular uses help nails back to full health. If you are wanting bare nails then just applying one coat will be perfect but for getting colour back on your nails you apply it as a base coat and then as a top coat over the colour which helps to seal and protect. The drying is pretty quick so ideal if you are a little impatient. The finish of the nails is super glossy and i realy love that look with nails. After using this for a week i noticed that after my nails had slowly started to show signs of chipping that my nails looked so much more stronger and no peeling whatsoever. I really think using this regular would benefit my nails.
To add to my nails when painting i like to use a top coat which makes my nail polish last alot longer then without. I have been loving the Rimmel Ultra Shine Top Coat as its has a lovely wide brush which covers the whole nail within two strokes and seems to pick up just the right amount of product. The finish is super glossy which makes the nails gleam in the light. The lasting power using this for me is about 6-8 days and with only two chips which i think is amazing for a drugstore product. The drying time isnt too bad but not overly quick. I love using this product and even on my toes too!!
Have you tried either of these products?

Review: L'oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Water |
Im a little bit late to the party with this but i thought seen as this is my second bottle of the stuff it deserves a review. With this being described as a dupe for Bioderma it just had to be tried out. The latest beauty/skincare has gone crazy for micellar water which helps to dissolve makeup, unclog pores whilst keeping the skin supple. The L'oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Water comes in a generous 200ml sized bottle and has an easy pouring out system on application. But do be careful as the water can just come shooting out at times. I really like how it gets rid of makeup easily and i wouldnt say a couple of swipes and your done like some claims but i do think a good few gos will get it off. The only bit i struggle with is getting off waterproof makeup with this as i dont think it does enough to get it off so i do use a eye remover product for this. The texture of the water is abit oil like which i think is really gentle on the skin and not harsh in the slightest. I do like that it gets off my face makeup but i dont personally see it as a cleanser as i think that i need something abit more to go in with a deeper cleanse. I tend to find this a much better option for lazy days as a pre cleanse and my skin is alot fresher and clean.
I didnt see any results with this benefiting my skin or pores but i just found it was alot better then using other makeup removers i have tried in the past and for your moneys worth its a cheap option if you are on a budget or if you go through makeup removers quickly.
Overall i am really loving this product and will continue to repurchase as its cheap and simple.
Have you tried this product compared to bioderma?

September Favourites |
This month has been pretty hectic and i have been trying to keep everything as simple and as quick as possible. Its been hard to keep up with everything going on as it happens all at once. I have been loving experimenting more with my eyeshadow as normally i am a very plain jane kinda girl and im really wanting to try more eye looks. So keep your eyes peeled i may do some eye look posts very soon.
My skin has not been at its best this month and i panic so much that it will never settle but i have my two trust saviours as always. The first is La Roche Posay Serozinc which i have mentioned before here and i love that its a calming toner/spritz. It helps to settle the skin whilst providing a dose of hydration too. I wont go on too much about this product but its a firm favourite in my skincare routine.
The next skincare hero has been the Lush TeaTree Water. Again it really soothes breakouts and redness which is something i battle with daily. Its so affordable and it can last a good couple of months. Again i have a full review on this here.
A favourite of mine from the beginning of the year and has got back into my daily makeup is the MUA Heaven and Earth Palette mentioned here. So many gorgeous smokey, dramatic colours that can easily change your makeup look. The quality of these eyeshadows are amazingly pigmented. I am so happy that i have rediscovered my love for this palette and its perfect for the lovely autumn months we are
having. To team up with this palette i have been using the ELF Brightening Eyeliner in the shade 'Coffee'. With having blue eyes i find that the brown slightly smoked out eyeliner really makes them stand out and creates a more subtle warmth to my eye look. The palette and the eyeliner are the dream team as of late.
The last product that has been a love of mine is the 17 Blusher in the shade 'First Flush'. I have been trying to rattle my memory to when i brought this but i honestly cannot remember. Buts its a gorgeous deep peachy pink colour and you only need the slightest bit to sweep on the apples of your cheek to create a more deeper natural colour. The colour is super gorgeous and i have been loving wearing this with just a simple eyelook just mascara on. I am so impressed with how pigmented the colour is and also how long it actually lasts. My blusher addiction did fade for awhile after having a big splurge but after reintroducing this it may well give me an excuse to buy more from 17.
Have you tried any of my favourites mentioned this month?

10 Safety Rules for Home Emergency Escape Ladders
Date: February 8, 2017
A small home fire can spread to the whole house in under 30 seconds. Thus, when a fire occurs, you have little time to get out of the house before fire and smoke make escaping extremely difficult. Creating a fire escape plan and installing smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and escape ladders can greatly improve your chances of escaping a fire unharmed. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind when using escape ladders:
- 1. Choose only escape ladders that have been tested by a nationally recognized testing laboratory, such as Underwriter's Laboratory. Look for the certified label on the packaging to verify.
- 2. Only use escape ladders if your home is no taller than three stories. Using escape ladders on the fourth floor and up can be very dangerous.
- 3. Never use escape ladders as a primary escape route. Use escape ladders and windows only if the primary escape route is blocked by fire or smoke.
- 4. Keep an escape ladder in each occupied room on the second and/or third story and near a window to access them quickly in case of emergency.
- 5. Ensure every household member, including children and the elderly, knows where the escape ladders are located.
- 6. Read the manufacturer's instructions carefully with all household members to ensure everyone knows how to use the ladder.
- 7. After reading the instructions, practice setting up the ladder several times. If there are different types of windows in your home, practice setting up the ladder at every type of window.
- 8. Ensure all household members can easily open windows where escape ladders will be used and that the ladders fit these windows.
- 9. Windows that have security bars should have emergency release devices in case someone has to open them quickly and use the ladder to escape a fire.
- 10. Don't use escape ladders for any other purpose than escaping in an emergency. To avoid the risk of injury, don't test ladders in your fire drills.
Conducting fire drills at home can help you and your family escape a fire safely. Learn about fire drills in this article. Check out more tips to keep children safe from fire here. For professional fire damage repair or smoke remediation, contact your local PuroClean office.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
I have two Masters degrees and I'm currently a PhD candidate in history. I have lived and taught in five countries, have won scholarships for my academic achievements and have been on several subsidized trips throughout Europe based on the belief in my future as a historian. I'm also a high-school dropout.
As a child and teenager, school was always a struggle for me.
While I often excelled in my studies in K-12, I found it difficult to sit still for several hours a day and conform to the rigidity of the school system. To make matters worse, I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, in the heart of the Silicon Valley, among the offspring of the very wealthy, educated and successful. I also attended Catholic school, which was well-known for both its academic rigidity and "success" in turning out students who attended top universities.
At age 13, in the 8th grade, I had my very first brush with major depression. Although depression runs in my family and isn't uncommon with teenagers, I felt completely alone. Back then, people didn't really talk in the media about childhood and teenage depression, furthering my feelings of failure and isolation. One of my best friend's mothers said I was not allowed to hang out with her daughter anymore because my depression was potentially a "bad influence" on her child.
I came dangerously close to having to repeat the eighth grade -- a solution for my inability to keep up with my schoolwork that seemed tantamount to social suicide. Fortunately, my school worked with me and I was able to finish and accept the place I had been offered several months before at an all-girls high school.
My first year of high school at a top academic all-girls school was wonderful and I felt my depression was behind me. I had a blast and did well in my courses and made friends and felt as though I was on track to go to a "good" college just like my peers. But by my sophomore year, my depression slowly crept back in. In an effort to control it, I began starving myself and forcing myself to vomit up the small amounts of food that I did digest. I lost 30 pounds in a month.
Having anorexia is a full-time job. When you are keeping up with calories consumed and burned, and obsessing over how many steps you're taking each day, you don't have room for anything else. My family and I made the decision for my second semester, with the guidance of my school, to take courses online via a program approved by my high school in order to better focus on my recovery.
I came back to school my junior year, but this time, I began to have health problems that were both a result of my anorexia and because I was developing lupus SLE (which I wouldn't be aware of for years to come). I also began having panic attacks during this time and attending school full-time once again became unbearable. The school allowed me to drop down to a half-time student during my second semester, but this proved to be too difficult when my stomach issues (due to my body learning how to digest and work properly after being starved for so long) became so painful that I could not get out of bed.
Finally, it was decided that I had missed far too much school to continue my education there. I would have to repeat my junior year (out of the question for my teenage mind), attend homeschool again, switch schools or drop out and focus on recovering. To everyone's chagrin, I was so depressed and physically ill that I chose to drop out.
I did not have a graduation party. There are no photos of me walking across the stage receiving my diploma in my pale blue graduation gown or crying in the middle of group hug with all the girls I had spent the past four years with. I certainly wasn't leaving high school with an offer from Yale or Harvard or even the local state school.
Instead, I was humiliated, defeated in the ultra-success oriented culture of my high school and society we lived in. My classmates were planning on going away to fancy schools on the east coast for their freshmen year and were bonding over their dwindling time together. Gradually, I was being forgotten about and the circles I ran in with my high school friends closed to me. I was no longer invited to birthday parties.
Later that year, I took the California High School Equivalency Exam and became a high school graduate in the eyes of the law. But not to the über-successful of the Silicon Valley. And perhaps more important, not to myself.
My high school graciously considers me an alum and invites me to events and reunions even to this day. And although some girls shut me out, many of them went out of their way to continue a friendship with me. I was embarrassed by my depression and eating disorder, and now on top if it, I was a high school dropout. I stopped taking their calls. One girl came by my house a couple of times just to see me and left a couple of notes on my door to call her back. I never did.
Now, I regret how much I let humiliation and pride get in the way of continuing friendships with my high school classmates. Many of them have "friended" me on Facebook as adults, and since I live abroad permanently now, I've seen many of them during their international travels to Europe. But when I see pictures of groups of girls celebrating babies or weddings together, with captions like "15 years of friendship!" I feel a pang of regret for being so embarrassed by my "shortcomings."
The stigma of being a high-school dropout followed me throughout the rest of my life, even if some of it is imagined. I used it as fuel to keep going and achieve the next milestone.
I attended the local community college for a few years, even though many looked down on me for it. (The school I attended was called West Valley and often dubbed "Waste Valley" due to the stigma that only "stupid people" attended a community college.)
A couple of times I become so depressed that I would just stop attending classes and have to withdraw, once again, reaffirming to myself that I was unable to complete anything to do with education.
After five and a half years, I graduated from college with a BA in French. Despite one of my community college professors warning that only 1/3 of our class would move on to a four-year university, I managed to actually complete my degree. And what I thought was the cherry on top of it: I was accepted to graduate school at NYU upon the completion of my BA.
I finished my graduate degree at NYU on time and after graduation moved to Hungary to teach English. In Hungary, I figured out I wanted to ultimately get a PhD in History. I obtained a second MA from the University of Amsterdam after that, earning a full-ride scholarship due to my "academic excellence" (which made me laugh when I considered how in moments of frustration, my family or teachers told me I just wasn't trying hard enough). In 2012, I was accepted and enrolled in a PhD program in the United Kingdom, where I live and teach classes on my chosen subject.
I still have dreams in which I am asked to complete my high school credits before I am allowed to complete my PhD, or where I'm telling people I have two MA degrees and am having to enroll in high school biology. I don't think those will ever go away. But I am extremely proud of what I've accomplished...so far.

Corporate Governance
Basic Approach to Corporate Governance
The Company passed a resolution on the following Basic Policy on Corporate Governance, and has been continually implementing the basic policy.
Factors That Could Significantly Influence Corporate Governance
Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. is the parent company of Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma with a 51.58% (as of March 31, 2018) share of voting rights. Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma understands that respect for autonomy is affirmed by the parent company and management independence is maintained, with no restraints on approvals or other matters by the parent company concerning Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma's business operations.
Furthermore, no directors of Sumitomo Chemical sit on the Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Board of Directors. Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma retains some personnel seconded from the parent company based on Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma's own judgment, and believes this has no influence on Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma's management or business operations. Respect for autonomy is affirmed by the parent company and Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma's independence is maintained.
Based on the above, Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma understands that the interests of its retail shareholders are not impaired by its parent company.
Management Structure
Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Co., Ltd. (the "Company") has established the Basic Policy on Corporate Governance and commits itself to continuously pursuing the establishment of a corporate governance system which is highly effective, aiming for the fuller realization of our Corporate Mission and Management Mission.
The Company has elected the organizational structure of a "Company with an Audit & Supervisory Board" and has appointed Independent Outside Directors to audit the execution of duties by the Directors, independent of the Board of Directors. In addition, the Company has adopted an executive officer system to separate management supervision from business execution.
The Board of Directors consists of eight members, including three Independent Outside Directors. The Board of Directors holds a meeting once a month, in principle, and resolves and reports on material business matters.
The Audit & Supervisory Board consists of five members, including three Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members. The Audit & Supervisory Board holds a meeting once a month, in principle, discusses and resolves material matters relating to auditing, and also examines in advance matters to be submitted to the Board of Directors for discussion.
The Company has the Nomination and Compensation Committee, which holds a meeting as necessary, as a consultative body to the Board of Directors for enhancing the objectivity and independence of the functions of the Board of Directors on matters such as nomination of the candidates for Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members, and decisions on compensation of Directors. The Committee consists of four members, the majority of which being three Independent Outside Directors, and the chairperson be appointed from the Independent Outside Directors.
The Management Committee holds meetings twice a month, in principle, as a consultative body to the Representative Director, President and CEO for the decision making for important business matters, based on the basic policy determined by the Board of Directors.
In addition, the Executive Committee holds a meeting once a month, in principle, for the purpose of appropriately sharing among the Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members, including the Outside Directors and the Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members, the status of the execution of business and material matters relating to the execution of business.
Audit System
Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma has appointed five Audit & Supervisory Board members, three of whom are outside members. The Audit & Supervisory Board, composed of all the Audit & Supervisory Board members, determines audit policy, task allocation among members and other matters. In line with these matters, each member works to create an environment for greater audit effectiveness, including regular meetings with the representative directors, proactive reporting from and discussions with the other directors and employees, cooperation with the accounting auditor and the Internal Auditing Department, and furthermore, cooperation among all parties involved in auditing. In addition, members attend key business meetings including those of the Board of Directors to confirm the legality and appropriateness of management decisions by the directors and proactively audit the operational status of the internal control system through measures including receiving reports from directors and employees on the status of task execution, requesting explanation as necessary and viewing significant approval forms and other documents. The dedicated staff has been established for the Audit & Supervisory Board members to raise the effectiveness of their audits and to smoothly accomplish auditing tasks.
Accounting audits are handled by KPMG AZSA LLC, based on an audit agreement. Internal audits are carried out by the Internal Auditing Department, which reports directly to the President of Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma. The basic elements for achieving the objectives of internal control, including subsidiaries, are audited from a fair and independent standpoint.
Development of an Internal Control System
The Board of Directors of Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma passed a resolution on the basic policies for the development of a system to ensure appropriate business operation. The status of implementation efforts pursuant to the basic policies for each year is reported based on the Companies Act at the Board of Directors meeting held in the last month of the fiscal year and the basic policies are revised as necessary to improve the system.

Damn!! I wish I would have discovered this awesome recipe in time for Thanksgiving!!! Even better than my 'turkey pizza"!! Definitely making this, but I don't think I can wait until next November!!
Definitely making this!
I made similar enchiladas with Thanksgiving leftovers last fall and loved them. Used homemade cranberry sauce. Don't remember the beans but I've lost the recipe and am delighted to have found yours. I had expected to have company to share them with but didn't so had a lot left to eat by myself. OK. I froze them, then pried them apart (would have been better to divide into two batches, but..) and reheated them. They looked awful (they turn a pinkish gray, ecch), but they were still delicious. I have more leftover turkey from Christmas, and I'm about to make more of this great dish. Two suggestions: Adjust the amount of hot sauce to taste. Thin the sauce a bit with OJ or broth to keep the enchiladas moist.

After months of anticipation, KCON is finally happening this weekend! Looking at the lineup of artists, it's easy to see why K-pop fans are so excited for the event.

Rounding out the actors and actresses is Yoo In Na, who won over viewers' hearts with her roles in Queen In Hyun's Man and My Love from Another Star.
Special artists:
Aside from the full-time actors, if you look at the breakdown of artists performing at KCON, you can see that it's full of idols who have tested out the acting world. From B1A4's Baro, who recently played a role in God's Gift--14 Days to CNBLUE's Kang Min Hyuk, who stole the show as Chan Young on Heirs, the concert lineup is filled with talented stars who will be familiar to those who love K-dramas.
Many of the artists in the concert lineup have blossomed in their acting careers, holding leading roles in various dramas. Girls' Generation's Yoona (who just so happens to be dating Seung Gi) has become an established actress, especially after her most recent turn in The Prime Minister and I, and her fellow group members Sooyoung and Yuri have also held lead roles, in Dating Agency: Cyrano and Fashion King, respectively.
IU is another talented up-and-coming actress who balances her music with starring roles in dramas like You're the Best, Lee Soon Shin and Dream High.
Jung Yong Hwa is taking time out of his preparations for his upcoming drama The Three Musketeers to come perform with his band, CNBLUE.
DramaFever's concert coverage will report on your favorite idol/actors, and they will also have interviews with SPICA and Jung Joon Young for the K-pop fans.

Review: The Potted Pig, Cardiff
Another restaurant we had been meaning to visit for sometime, The Potted Pig, has an excellent reputation on review websites, such as TripAdvisor. A number of people I know have eaten there and speak highly of it too.
After an interesting morning walking around Cardiff Museum enjoying the various exhibits (and fossil buying in the giftshop), we took the short walk to the restaurant at the top of High Street, about 150m from Cardiff Castle.
Having walked down the steps into the cellar, a former bank vault in which the restaurant is situated, we were welcomed warmly and taken to our table (we had booked ahead of time as the venue is popular). Two menus arrived, one being the table d'hôte with two courses for £12.00, the other was à la carte.
The restaurant is tastefully decorated, with sumptuous Chesterfields and quirky accessories dotted around, bare brick walls and atmospheric lighting. The old vault, with its barred door, being used as the wine cellar was an especially clever touch.
The bar is renowned for its selection of 30+ gins, and old (probably empty) gin bottles decorate alcoves and shelves throughout the restaurant. This makes the dining experience interesting as there are lots of small items tucked away, such as a small sleeping dog hidden in a corner that my partner spotted. But unfortunately there was too little light on it to photograph.
The old bank vault put to new, far better use
A good selection was available from the table d'hôte menu (which is not often the case for my non meat-eating partner), so we both decided to order from this menu.
Table d'hôte menu
For starters we had the mushrooms with truffle, and the crab served on toasted sourdough. Both starters were adequate in terms of size, and had huge flavour. The crab was beautifully fresh, with a lovely sweet taste. The mushrooms had a deep and rich flavour, beautifully accentuated by truffle and garlic. We shared the starters between ourselves, as we both liked the look of each other's starters, and they disappeared very quickly.

For our main course, we both ordered the pan-fried bream with crushed new potatoes, fennel and capers – absolutely delicious. We also ordered a side of greens to share; the selection of broccoli, kale and peas was delicious in its buttery coating.

You also have the option of deserts (at additional cost), but we felt satisfied. They certainly looked lovely, when I looked over at the table opposite who had ordered them.
The bill came to a respectable £50.00 (excluding tip), including one small and two large glasses of wine.
Service was attentive and friendly and, fair play to chefs Tom Furlong and Gwyn Myring, the food was of a consistently high standard. We would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to others.
From the pictures on their website, their Sunday lunch looks especially good (and very generous); something to try in the future.
Claire Meredith, March 2017
Access: Although a basement restaurant may look daunting, The Potted Pig is set up to be wheelchair friendly. A ramp is available to negotiate the steps outside, and a lift is just inside the entrance to take you down to the reception area. The bar area and restaurant are all on one floor. Just let them know your requirements when you make a reservation and they will sort out the arrangements.

Third-year doctoral student Rob Littleton studied philosophy as an undergrad, but turned his attention to physiology at UC where he uses the zebrafish to study life-threatening disease.
This tiny research subject (about 1-2 millimeters as embryos and 3-4 centimeters full grown) develop so rapidly that the young have a beating heart 22 hours after the sperm and egg get together.
Their speedy development and almost transparent bodies allow Littleton to visualize full organ systems under a microscope in real time.
He uses this to his advantage by creating fluorescent fat deposits that he then introduces into the fish. Using high-tech confocal microscopy, he maps in 3-D where the deposits land and quantify the way the fat (plaque) accumulates in different areas of the zebrafish's body.
In humans, this buildup is called atherosclerosis and Littleton hopes to use the zebrafish model to test a holistic treatment for the life-threatening plaque accumulation that might one day be tested in humans.
Next up for Littleton … lots more research. He'll finish his graduate degree in 2012 and plans to seek a post-doc position.
Littleton works alongside UC's Jay Hove, PhD, associate professor in the College of Medicine molecular and cellular physiology department and a 2006 winner of the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).

Many times, you will want to control Access from another application. You might want to run an Access report from a Visual Basic or Excel application, for example. Just as you can tap into many of the rich features of other products (such as Excel) from within Access, you can use some of Access's features from within another program. Fortunately, it is extremely easy to control Access from within other applications.
You can find an overview of the Access object model in Access Help. Unless you are very familiar with the Access object model, you should look at this graphical representation of Access's object model before you attempt to use automation to control Access. Access launches with its Visible property set to False. You can change the Visible property of the application object to True to make Access visible.

Paper planes. Iconic airline KLM. Jets – Papercraft Air-O-Batics.
In terms of its gameplay, it could be described as an endless flyer; on the surface, it feels like a three-laned adventure, but is goes a bit beyond that. The player is in charge of guiding a colorful paper plane, avoiding obstacles and collecting goodies along the way.
It looks and feels simple enough, yes, but as noted, it has a few tricks under its sleeve; in most games of this type, one would expect to navigate sideways via gestures. The gestures do come into play, but come in 6 ways: three swipes deep and three swipes wide. This creates a multitude of travel lanes, and to be expected, these are necessary, as there are several reasons to use them in the manifestation of obstacles.
To visualize how it works out, the initial level is perfect to figure things out. The plane maneuvers through a cityscape, with vehicles, sky scrapers, doughnut trucks (yes, donuts) and more. The idea is to avoid as many obstacles as possible so as to travel as far as possible, and the visuals play a big part in framing the game, what with the use of perspective, muted color and animations that demand quick reactions. To start out, there are items to be collected, and the first our stamps. They line the playing area and serve as game currency. Collecting enough of these opens up the next level.
And the game progresses thus, with cumulative tasks the open subsequent levels. The tasks are interesting, and run concurrently with the collection of stamps. For instance, glancing off specially marked taxis entails doing so until the requested number is met. Hitting an obstacle ends the run, by the way, at which point one can use continues or just restart.
It is a simple affair, mostly self-contained, but relatively engaging. It has a bunch of simple enhancements, bonuses and power-ups, and even skins which can be bought and equipped from flying.

My dear Danny,
I am so sickeningly in LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You make my blood run faster and my heart beat faster. I am just beside myself. It is the most beautiful feeling in the world. I feel like I am shaking inside all over.
Oh man, I am just ACHING FOR YOU !!!!!!!!!
Danny, how do you do it??? I know I always ask you that. But really, I am just shocked that a man could so precisely be attractive to me in every way that matters.
And I am just in heaven with the way you speak to me. Thank you for all the many compliments that you give so freely. They really do mean so much. You have no idea. I've never experienced this outpouring of love.
You know why I love you so much? Because not only are you everything I have ever dreamed of in my most pipe dream fantasies, but you truly appreciate the kind of woman that I am & want to be. It means SO much to see that we value the same things. It reminds me of something a very wise woman told me… she said that in order to recognize something good, you have to know it yourself. For example, a highly distinguished musician could play for someone, but unless the recipient is also a trained musician, the person may not know or recognize exactly how great the performance is. Anyway, I see us recognizing in each other the most important things…and I LOVE IT. I love it that at this point we both know enough that we know what makes a good man or a good woman. How lucky are we??? I feel so, so blessed to be able to choose a companion from this state of life, with my very revived spirit, a new set of eyes, and knowledge of what is important!! ahhhhh……….I feel so lucky.
Danny, you know what I can't stop thinking? I would marry you right now. haha. I don't care if our first meeting doesn't set off the fireworks we are anticipating. I will spend time emailing you and visiting you and getting to know you more and more as we try to explore the possibilities. I will give this everything. Thank you for also being willing to give this some time, if need be! There is just WAY, WAY, WAY too much good here. I just couldn't pass this up quickly… if you will have me, that is. And, as always, if for whatever reason, it just isn't meant to be…. well…….THAT WILL BE OK!!!!! I will accept it. I will be OK. And I will still just admire you & respect you for the man that you are. No matter what the outcome, I really feel there is a reason that we have come together. Already the blessings have been overflowing. So even if this was just for a few weeks of the brightest, most exhilarating hope in the world, I will not regret one drop of this !!!!!!!! Overall, I just KNOW that whatever happens will be MEANT to be!!!! I believe that completely.
Oh, i just LOVE you. And fireworks???? Um, I have NEVER had so many fireworks with a guy. Ever. And it's cause this time I really know what I am attracted to…and I know who I am…. it's just different than any bit of random giddiness I have ever felt in the past. I just can't wait to be in your presence.
And, DON'T BUY A VACUUM!! 🙂 You just might be adopting my Dyson very soon :).
With so very much love,
Dear Mara,
Yes, I truly love you. Yes, I, too, would marry you right now! Yes, I too have no fear because I know that in 4 short days I will love you more than I do now. Yes, I am aching for you. Yes, I've been staring at my screen waiting for a response from you. Yes, we are of the same kind, and yes, this IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FEELING IN THE WORLD!!! Your every word was written straight from my very heart and I love you for it. I WANT YOUR DYSON, AND THE WOMAN THAT COMES WITH IT!!!!!
I'm getting ready for bed…my early morning seems to be catching up with me. I almost fell asleep waiting for this most wonderful of responses.
I'm going to climb in bed, and go contemplate on how truly blessed I am. Then I am going to pour out my soul in gratitude to God. And then I will sleep with you in my heart and on my mind. Will you please join me?
Hopelessly (and hopefully) yours,
Did your spouse have anything that you were particularly excited to marry into? Danny, being the cook he is, had some killer kitchen items (pans, knives, etc.) My kitchen got a major upgrade!

WNYIL operates grant and fee-based transportation services for community activities in five of the Western New York Counties.
WNYIL's transportation program, Independence Express, offers rides for people with disabilities who reside in Erie, Niagara, Wyoming, Genesee and Orleans Counties. Anyone with a disability can participate. We have both wheelchair-accessible vans and minivans for ambulatory riders.
If you are eligible for services from the New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and live with a family member in Erie, Niagara, Genesee or Orleans county, you may be entitled to Family Support Services transportation. This program provides up to six (6) round trips per month to wherever you would like to go in our service area at no charge.
Our Fee-For-Service transportation is provided at a cost of $15 each way, plus $0.50 per mile to go wherever you choose. This is much less expensive than any private company that provides door-to-door wheelchair transportation in Western New York. You will receive an invoice in the mail the month after you get a ride.
If you would like to sign up for transportation, please call (716) 836-0822, ext. 126 to reach our Intake Office. If your area code is 585, you may call (585) 815-8501, ext. 126. You will fill out a short intake over the phone, and then a welcome packet will be sent to you, containing forms that you will need to sign and mail back to us. When we receive those forms, you are then signed up for transportation. We require at least one weeks' notice to book each trip, but you may schedule rides up to three months in advance. All van seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on availability.
WNYIL also has another transportation program for people that are eligible for services through the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) in Erie and Niagara counties.
The "Moving Forward" program helps eligible individuals to get to work, work-related activities and volunteer opportunities. This program is funded through the Federal Transit Administration New Freedom grant, the Self Advocacy Association of New York State (SANYS), and WNYIL.
To sign up or for more information, please contact Sophia Roberts of SANYS at (716) 517-3598.

The 100-Year Starship Study is collaboration between NASA and DARPA on the possibility and implications of someday sending a human being on a one-way space mission to distant star. The symbolic hope is that this might occur one century from now. They are not taking volunteers. Via Phenomenica:
Humans have sent probes to planets and asteroids throughout our solar system. But we've never come close to propelling a manmade object as far as another star.
But if NASA and DARPA – the agency responsible for some of the early innovations that led to the Internet – have their way, in the next 100 years, a spaceship would stand ready to visit another star.
The two agencies have teamed up on a 1 million-dollar project called the 100-Year Starship Study to begin contemplating technologies and organizational strategies to make the mission happen.
alled the 100-Year Starship Symposium, the public event will run Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 in Orlando, Fla.
For three days, scientists from universities, NASA centers and private institutions will discuss the merits of fusion versus nuclear thermal propulsion, as well as the social and psychological implications of sending humans on a one-way mission to the stars.
Religious and philosophical aspects of interstellar travel will also be discussed.
"The 100-Year Starship is about more than building a spacecraft or any one specific technology," Fox News quoted DARPA officials as writing in a statement.
"Through this effort, DARPA seeks to inspire several generations to commit to the research and development of breakthrough technologies and cross-cutting innovations across myriad disciplines," they added.
But a note to would-be space travellers: It's too soon to sign up for the trip.
"Neither DARPA nor NASA are actually building a 100-Year Starship," DARPA officials wrote.
"We are planting seeds for an organization. Consequently we are not taking starship crew applications at the present time."
