*Please be informed that our soaps are 100% PALM OIL FREE. If the labels on the photos say that it contains PALM OIL, it's because these are old photos/labels.
Papaya is a type of fruit that grows naturally in Mexico and throughout several tropical and sub-tropical areas in the Western hemisphere. Its active enzyme, papain, is used in soap to exoliate dead skin cells . Papain-based soaps are typically marketed specifically as papaya soap, and are believed to offer particular benefits due to their botanical content.
The exfoliating properties of papaya soap also make it an effective acne treatment when it is used on the face or on other acne prone skin. This is because one of the primary causes of acne is the tendency for dead skin cells to clog the pores instead of being shed from the skin's surface normally.
Dead skin cells and excess sebum oil can accumulate inside hair follicles, causing a pimple to form, when the skin's natural exfoliating process doesn't work as it should. Only through manual exfoliation can this cause be treated or eliminated.
We are still against unnatural skin whitening so we used Papaya which contains natural skin-brightening powers! Anecdotal evidence suggests that regular use of papaya soap can cause mild skin lightening over time. Papain does not chemically lighten the skin as do some skin bleaching creams, but by exfoliating away outer layers of skin that may be tanned or otherwise sun-damaged, papaya soap may reveal lighter, brighter layers of skin underneath.
We added tea tree into the mix and as you may already know, tea tree essential oil can clear up acne, helping to create naturally glowing smooth skin. Tea tree oil helps control blemishes without being overly drying for the skin. As a natural antiseptic, tea tree oil soap helps heal acne and other skin ailments. Tea tree oil reduces bacteria and inflammation, improving the appearance of mild to moderate acne with fewer side effects—such as stinging, burning and dryness—than those caused by commercial benzoyl peroxide acne preparations.

Elle's Care Home 1 Reviewsthis is a good Board and Care
the last reviewer didnt go inside!!!! This a very nice Board and Care that provides good care to its patients. I am a NP who provides care to homebound patients. I have had several patients in Elle's home and they are very caring providers who work hard to care for their patients. They deserve much better comments than the uninformed comment about messy pine trees.

So how does it all work…
So how does it all work…
In response to the needs of Australian oyster growers in southern New South Wales Zapco Aquaculture has created the first cost-effective commercially available floating mesh bag system designed for farming of single seeded oysters. The Zapco aquaculture system reduces set up an ongoing labor costs, increases oyster growth rates results overcatch and promotes consistent uniform oyster shape which all leads to increased profitability for growers.
In addition to increasing profitability the system produces environmental impact resulting in a more sustainable growing and farming process. Zapco Aquaculture's floating mesh bag system incorporates a complete range of proven tested and purpose design products that partner the farmer spat catching through to grow out.
Grow Out Tumblers
Spat Traps
We are using areas now we previously thought were not productive! The bags are portable, durable, consistent in quality and affordable. The oysters coming out of them are a terrific shape and grow very quickly.
Zapco floating bags have changed our whole outlook on oyster farming. We now have a simple to use and highly effective system to grow oysters that brings the word profit back into the oyster farming equation.

"Like a revelation, I discovered that I had no interest in dressing bodies, but in undressing them. I felt I needed to deconstruct and reach their volumes with my fingers and my pencils." Introducing the wonderful Carmen… You can find her work on her Website, as well as on Instagram and Facebook. Enjoy!
I draw what I'm drawn to. I surround myself with what I'm drawn to. I draw what surrounds me.
If I had to define these things that surround me, that attract me, that I draw, I could say:
A random layout of objects created spontaneously without my intervention. When you observe, you see. I can see plenty of drawable scenes around me all the time. It's cheap and democratic.
People that mean something to me. Friends, family, lovers, partners and ex partners. People that I can touch by simply reaching my hand out or people that are not physically close (sometimes they don't even exist physically any more), but I keep them in mind.
People from the audiovisual industry. Actors and actresses that I admire. Actors and actresses that I desire. Characters from movies or TV series that fascinate me. Scenes from movies that trap me because of their beauty or their touching lines. It's the same with singers. Actually, it's a shame I don't know how to draw music because it's very present in my life. Music is with me at all times. Maybe one day I shall give it a try.
My work is 100% made by hand. No, there is no digital work in it. I'm not much into technology and drawing for me is like an act of refuge in which I need to feel comfortable. As technology makes me feel uncomfortable, I don't want it for drawing.
Mistakes are what make hand drawing a unique experience. I try to assimilate mistakes, try to turn them into a singularity. This is the big challenge. When you make a line longer than it should be, when your marker releases too much ink, when you spoil a clean and immaculate part of your drawing with a finger that you didn't even know was touching the paper surface. There is no undo, no CTRL+Z here. You just have to find out a creative way to hide them, if they are really disastrous, or simply let them be. They remind me that, as the beautiful lines, they also are an essential part of what I do.

Mt. Adams from Takhlakh Lake | Washington
We spent just a few very rainy and cold days here at Takhlakh Lake, but they were so rewarding. This tiny, almost circular lake is so beautiful and pristine and completely encircled by stately pines. Heavy rain was falling when we arrived and we were soaked by the time we had set up camp. But it was so wonderfully quiet, it had already been raining for several days with more rain in the forecast. Any campers that had been in the area were long gone. We had the place to ourselves.
That evening near sunset, I made my way down to the lake. Although the rain had tapered off slightly, the heavy clouds covered the mountain completely, not a stitch of Mt. Adams could be seen. I decided to wait it out. I had the feeling something was about to shift. As the rain slowly came to an end, the mosquitoes came out in force. There were great clouds of them everywhere.
But slowly, the heavy rain clouds began to move out, and in a very short period of time this amazing lenticular cloud formed atop the mountain, and just in time for the very last rays of sunlight to kiss the cloud pink. The moment I'd come for, and so worth the wait.
Not long after sundown, the rain returned and continued for a few more days until our departure.
A Hole in the Sky | Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument | Washington
On one of our rainy afternoons we drove over to Mt. St. Helens, a volcanic neighbor of Mt Adams. The stormy weather obscured most of the volcano, but it was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the eruption here. And to top it off, we were treated to this amazing moment on the way back to camp.
Bird Creek Meadows | Mount Adams Wilderness | Washington
No visit to Mount Adams would be complete without a hike through Bird Creek Meadows when the wildflowers are in bloom, so after our stay at Takhlakh Lake, we made our way to Bird Lake for a short stay that allowed us to explore another side of the mountain and enjoy hiking Bird Creek Meadow.
Next up...Paradise...yep, on to Mount Rainier...

Is There a Need for a Professional Accessibility Society?
Leonie Watson, Director of Accessibility & Web Development at Nomensa, shares her thought after attending the ATIA - AIA Forum at CSUN 2012: "Taking Accessibility Mainstream: Making the Case for an International Society of Accessibility Professionals".
About the ATIA-AIA Accessibility Forum Hosted by Accessibility Interoperability Alliance (AIA) - the technical & engineering division of the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA.
Is there a need for a professional accessibility society? This is the question being discussed by the accessibility cognoscenti.
The debate was given focus at the Taking Accessibility Mainstream event, hosted by the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) on February 27, 2012.
There is clearly a need for greater accessibility professionalism. Accessibility is currently unregulated and without official professional standards. There are recognised accessibility guidelines, standards for accessibility, and a critical mass of people and companies that consider accessibility their primary field of experience. The inevitable counterpoint is the growing number of people (or companies) that claim they are skilled in accessibility, or who genuinely believe they are but don't have the knowledge or experience to deliver.
A professional society could help solve this problem. Amongst many other things, it could introduce accessibility training programmes and certifications relevant to the different roles within our industry. As discussion gained momentum ahead of the ATIA event, I voiced my concern that a professional society could segregate accessibility, rather than take it mainstream.
Listening to Rob Sinclair (Microsoft), Rich Schwerdtfeger (IBM), Peter Korn (Oracle), Judy Brewer (W3C) and many others who shared their thoughts at the ATIA event, I realised that the two things were not mutually exclusive: a professional society could help make accessibility mainstream. It could help create confidence in the marketplace by promoting accessibility as a recognised and trusted profession.
Establishing accessibility as a recognised profession could create career pathways that would begin in education and extend into industry. In these (and many other) ways, it would be an opportunity for accessibility to come of age.
Léonie is Director of Accessibility & Web Development at Nomensa, where she is responsible for accessibility standards, research and development.

Better Watch Out is a little gem available on Amazon Prime for a buck to rent that I decided to try out on Christmas day. With the marketing material, it would seem that this would be the perfect new horror movie to watch on the holiday, but it is a bit misleading. Aside from the house being decked out with Christmas decorations, and a slight bit of tension with some outside decorations falling at an inopportune moment, it doesn't live up to it's Christmas scene. Which is disappointing but not terrible because the film still delivers. Continue reading

Hell House LLC Delivers a Decent Found Footage Experience
Amazon Prime is a great resource for shopping and a few shows and movies here and there. But in my personal experience, I have had just the worst luck with horror movies. I mean the ones you rent or buy are fine, but the Horror Prime selection has always been weak with a difficult rating system to follow. Do their star ratings go off of your previous habits, off of other people with similar taste, and why can't I rate an item after watching it anymore? So when trying to find a new horror film after exhausting curated lists online of what movies to watch on what streaming site, I tend to go for a film that is rated 3.5 stars or more on Prime for my horror addition.
It proved a worthy system this weekend with a 2/3 success rate. I binged on Dead Body (winner), Red Christmas (loser), which then suggested All Through the House (a major loser as I stopped after about 10 minutes, that tit stab in the shower was where I ended), and then went searching again and found the lovely Hell House LLC. Which is what we will talk about today. It is, by all means, an Indie horror film that was released in 2015 but also screened in 2016 by some outlets. Continue reading

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Continues the Magic
Harry Potter and the Fantastic Beasts….. Excuse me, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, opens up with a familiar tune and then an explosion! Many of its audience returning to learn more about the Harry Potter world we've all loved and have adored for more than a decade now, some members might even be new to the magical world, but regardless of your familiarity with the Harry Potter world, you won't be disappointed.
Fantastic Beasts delivers on fun, magic, and the same childish wonderment that the very first film, The Sorcerer's Stone, instilled in both youths and adults. What is extra-wonderful about the film and this new extension of the beautiful universe that JK Rowling delivered to us nearly 20 years ago, is that it takes place long before Harry and his Parents. It begins in 1926 with a demolished building in New York, New York. Yes, that's right, if you didn't know, this first installment in the extended universe (which rumors claim their will be 5 story-lines through 19 years) takes place in America. And it is a breath of fresh air.
It is an easy claim, that there are Harry Potter lovers throughout the world, and to get a glimpse (glimpse being a full-length feature film!) of the magical universe in different parts of the world is well-deserved.
After the explosion we move into the classic moving headlines/picture format of what is going on in the American Wizarding World. Preparing us for the new information about the different culture that we (the audience) have been salivating for. After the opening credits, we land on Newt Scamander, a name many will recognize as the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a book that every wizarding family should own. A worthy endorsement by Albus Dumbledore.
Newt (Eddie Redmayne) is our first lead protagonist that came from House Hufflepuff (badger house), he is a kind soul who just wants to save all magical creatures out there, and "politely educate" his fellow magic folk, as he claims while explaining his reason for traveling state-side. Yes, that means that these magnificent, magical creatures are not just confined to the UK, and this also means that many (absolutely breath-taking) creatures are indigenous to certain areas, much like our no-maj animals. Oh what is "no-maj" you ask? It's is American slang for non-magic folk. So its our term for muggles!
Eventually a few of Newt's beautiful, scary, and chalk full of personality, beasts escape his magical suitcase. An American witch, Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), tries to detain Newt for not registering his wand when he came through what I guess is customs in the '20s? Anyways, they become these kind-of awkward partners in crime, but only after the poor no-maj, Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), has a nasty bump in with one of Newt's many creatures. Newt and Tina only eventually become allies because of Jacob's innocent, yet beautiful mind set that Tina's Legilimency (mind-reading) sister Queenie (Alison Sudol) feels towards Jacob. Jacob takes the role of audience in this film, learning about all of this new wonder and expressing it, he eventually becomes the glue between the sisters and rule-breaking Newt.
Eventually, the president of MACUSA (the Magical Congress of the United States of America), Seraphina Picquery is lead to believe that the chaos happening in New York is Newt's fault (even though they were having problems before HE EVEN GOT THERE). Trying to keep this review spoiler free, we will leave the remainder of the plot for you to find out yourself. But know that there is more than just one plot line, and that there are many twists and turns along this amazing ride.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them provides another sweet, and succulent extension of JK Rowling's incredible mind and Wizarding World. The story was written by Rowling herself, and the magic leaps of the screen and stays with you hours after you leave the theater. (Let's be honest, probably days.) Currently, it can remain as a stand-alone film, but there are many names that we pot-heads will recognize through the film, and for the well-trained ear, you may even recognize some of the musical scores. Personally, this pot-head can't wait for the next installment of the Wizarding World, and learn more about some twists that were delivered throughout the film.
This holiday, see what is truly, the best film of the year. Fantastic Beasts deserves your $10 and 2 hours of your time. Even if you aren't a grade-A Potter fanatic.
PS on a fun fact, Actor Eddie Remayne was almost the young Voldemort in Chamber of Secrets! Let's just say he makes a much better Newt.
Independence Day 2: Resurgence
Independence Day (1996) is one of my all time favorite films. As I rewatched the film just last night, I realized, to be a girl is to have a crush on Mr. Charismatic, Will Smith, Captain Steve Hiller, to become a woman is to love Jeff Goldbulm's David Levison. To be fair, I love both characters and have watched Independence Day at least once a year my entire life since 1996. Whoa… that's at the bare minimum of 20 times. Needless to say, I was very excited for Independence Day 2: Resurgence to soar into theaters and got the chance to see it opening day on Friday.
ID4 2 delivers edge of the seat fun, 20 years after Levison and Captain Hiller defeat the aliens that came to pillage the earth for their own reasons that never really become clear until we get the sequel. It is very entertaining to watch almost all of our favorite characters come back to continue a story line that we have all come to know and love, and most likely quote in regular day conversation and then not have other people understand, then you sigh and die a little inside, but know that there has to be someone out there who would have understood the reference. Then you smile a little. Because now you have another installment of one of your favorite story worlds. Continue reading
A Father's Influence: RIP Wes Craven
Just this week, an incredibly influential man in my life passed away. This man pushed my creative depths and made me see the world in a different light when I was in high school. Maybe even JR high. I was kind of popular, but just weird enough that I wasn't really invited to the in-crowd's parties.
I liked horror. I enjoyed movies that were based around a monstrous being terrorizing a group of teenagers. I wasn't Goth by any means, but my obsession with blood and guts made me just odd enough that I was labeled as a freak. But I didn't care about any of that. Because neither did either of my fathers.
Now let me explain when I say fathers. Plural. I was part of a nuclear family. One mom, one dad, a brother and a dog. But my curiosity and passion for movies and Halloween were deep. I dressed up as a countess, a witch, and a devil when I was younger, I think the only time I was a princess was in the 3rd grade because I felt the pressure of my peers baring down on me.
But my Dad taught me at a very young age to not care what others thought of me, because honestly, my Dad was the weirdest guy I knew. Out there and opinionated every day of my life. He adored Halloween and his love was passed down to me. Through the womb, because I'm told I came out looking like a monkey. Happy Halloween Mom and Dad! In the middle of May.
I carried around a little ugly deformed baby doll, and it was my favorite. Snot hanging out of its' nose and the most contorted face of what must have been a dirty diaper. I think my dad actually had it before I was even born and at the age of 3 I fell in love with it.
Even though my Dad was really into Halloween. I mean, this guy turned our home into a haunted house for all the kiddies and adults every year for Trick or Treat night. He insisted that regardless of what night the 31st of October fell on, that would be the Town's Halloween. Oh, he was also totally the Mayor of my small town for nearly my entire life, since I was the age of 2. But he wasn't into Horror movies.
A foreign concept, I know! I didn't get that quirk from my real father. I got it from the late great Wes Craven. Master of horror and the meta. My brother showed my A Nightmare on Elm Street when I was like 8. And Freddy didn't even phase me. It was then I knew my passion of horror. Wes created my high school career; I can't even begin to explain how he influenced my perspective of life at one of the most influential ages of a young teenager.
On Sunday, he passed in the comforts of his home after losing a battle to brain cancer. This news rocked me to the bone, because this man who made my high school career, who influenced the "freak" in me, passed from the same illness as my father.
My Dad died in October 2013, one month after his diagnosis of brain cancer. My Father didn't even get a chance to battle it, I saw him wither away in front of my eyes. The man who taught me to read. This six foot plus guy who dressed up as Frankenstein's monster the year I wanted to be the Bride of Frankenstein.
I lost myself at the age of 23, two years ago. I finished graduate school on time. A feat that many were surprised by. But I stopped blogging as much. I didn't analyze movies like I used to. I would vedge out in front of Netflix and pity myself because my dad would never walk me down the aisle. Now, my media father has passed. A man I always dreamed of meeting. Some day and shake his hand and tell him how he shaped my life. Shaped me.
But with the sadness of his death, my life has re-awoken. Losing both my "dads" to the same illness 2 years apart. Fuck that! I mean it! I'm done feeling sad for myself. I have a talent. Writing. Story telling. Pop culture. Using pop culture to my advantage while writing my stories.
I'm not going to hide it any more. I'm going to hit that keyboard hard this weekend. And I am going to write something that both Wes and my Father would be proud of. Because a Father's influence …. It will never fade.
The Mad Max Trilogy
A little known Australian franchise began in 1979 that focused on an apocalyptic world where gangs ran the world and gas is a very fucking high commodity. The trilogy that was born in the desert with flames and explosions galore. Fast-forward 30 years later and the now widely-known Mad Max is being rebooted by its creator George Miller with a Hollywood treatment and a cool hundred million dollars. So before we cross the finish line with Mad Max: Fury Road, let's gear up for the weekend by returning to the classic car-chases, consumptive waste land, and the desperate, deviant characters of the early 80s with a cumulative review of the original trilogy.
Mad Max of 1979 was a bit of a blur; cars exploding, gangs fucking shit up, and very little dialogue that was actually pretty difficult to follow without subtitles. The difficulty wasn't just on me and my download though, apparently when the film hit theaters in America in '81–as the sequel was coming out–they dubbed American speakers over the actual dialogue to help not confuse the audience about the film specifically taken place in Australia? The film follows Max (a young Mel Gibson) as a police "Interceptor" who tries to keep a handle on the rising crime and gang violence whom eventually takes a break from the force as his partner is badly tortured and eventually dies from a gang. So Max becomes the perfect husband and father while taking a long vacation with his doting wife and son (the son may have been playing with an actaul gun in the first seen we meet him…. CaRAZY!) Honestly, you could skip Mad Max if you wanted because the sad back-story of the Road Warrior (excluded here because of major spoilers) is reprised in a much more effective manner in the beginning of the sequel.
1981's Road Warrior is another tough pill to swallow but somehow has, like, a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes? It's a fun film, more fun then the first, but still makes the fatal mistake of being a very serious action movie. There are few moments of laughter at a clever script or perfectly placed explosion which is why I wouldn't give it that high of a rating. It's a bummer that I am watching the film this late in my life, within the heavily influenced world of bigger budgets and CGI, but the fact that these explosions really happened with real stunt people in them, that's pretty fucking insanely cool. Max himself has very little dialogue in this installment and he is contracted to help out a gasoline-rich community out-run a nasty raiding gang. A gang that is into leather and some same sex loving! But, you know also a gang that Max did kind of lead straight to their door, so the least he could do is help the community out. So Max is the resentful Road Warrior, it takes him time to look out for anyone other than his dog and himself but eventually he becomes our resisting protagonist in this dark and dreary life.
Beyond Thunderdome-–oh sweet sweet Thunderdome. If you haven't figured it out yet, Thunderdome is by far my favorite of the trilogy because it finally stops taking itself so damn seriously. Miller Americanized it a bit, with a star as big as Tina Turner in it, it's hard to think they kept it Australian. The characters in Beyond Thunderdome are the most colorful and least civilized of the franchise and they make the movie so much more enjoyable. The very beginning is a bit confusing, but I feel as though this is a running theme within Miller's work at this point. But soon enough we meet the glorious, rampant Auntie (Turner) who runs her Barbertown under a strict rule. She strikes some sort of deal with Max who is new to the city, and soon we find him fighting a giant "George Milton" who is ruled by a very small "Lennie Small" in the Thunderdome. And the dome is pretty damn rad. Two men enter, one leaves, and I will leave the rest of the awesomeness for you to view on your own time (because I personally think it's the best part of the film). Eventually, Max is annexed back into the deathly desert and finds himself as a savior of a "Lord of the Flies" scenario. Our once again reluctant hero finds himself slowly helping a rag-tag group of survivors.
Overall, Mad Max is a bit of a scramble, we have a few good characters that we only get for half the film (Fifi, Max's Chief of Police Department and his partner Jim Goose), some sweet ass car chases, but really the film doesn't age well as it takes itself much too serious for an action revenge film. 1981's Road Warrior has twice the amount of action, as sequels usually do, a better climax and a silly Feral Kid (calling Short Round?) at Max's side after he unfortunately looses his dog to a gang member (that's twice now!!!). For me, it wasn't the best of the three, but definitely a fun ride to take. 1985's Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome is personally my favorite and I believe it to be the best out of the Mad Max trilogy, even though it rated lower than both its' predecessors on Rotten Tomatoes. But the whole trilogy rates over an 80% for critics which is god damned impressive for a franchise that started nearly 40 years ago. The plot for Thunderdome is easier to follow and it has enough action to hold you over, but maybe some people find it not as entertaining as the first two because there isn't as much car chasing because we have the actual Thunderdome instead, along with some covert affairs going on too.
One thing is for sure, I can see why Hollywood wants to revamp the franchise for a new audience as the first three were successful and looked back on fondly as an exhilarating ride. But as a first time viewer, 30 some years later, and as a viewer who is actually younger than the latest film, it makes sense to make another installment for a fresh-faced audience.
Phantoms (1998)
Phantoms is a horror, sci-fi, thriller set in a ski town of Colorado that is very much dated by the decade of the 90's; if not by just the cast but the special effects alone. The movie is based off of a novel by horror writer Dean Koontz who also happened to pen the screenplay. The movie is a bit of a cross-over between The Thing (1982) and Scream (1996); it's pretty much a small group of 90's arch-type characters being picked-off one by one by creatures from another world that they can't really identify. It even casts Rose McGowan as the classic whore, a Skeet Ulrich look-a-like Ben Affleck, and a young Liev Schreiber; so as you can tell, they are trying hella hard to replicate the success of Craven's Scream.
Overall the film is lack-luster with time. It did not age well in the last 17 years; the scares are dismissive, the creature are un-realistic and poorly construed, the cast only called in on half the days, and the story holds no real sense of believable urgency. It's a bummer as my boyfriend highly recommended the film as a fun, campy 90's classic; for me it missed the mark, which is disappointing as I am a very big fan of Koontz' Odd Thomas which is also on Netflix as of May, 2015.
Galaxy Quest (1999)
Galaxy Quest is a sci-fi comedy, considered to be part of the Star Trek franchise, which is beyond brilliant and relevant to the series still 15 years later. One of the best casting decisions was pulling alien guru Sigourney Weaver on deck and having Tim Allen as the misogynistic Captain Kirk archetype slowly sinking into desperation and the sad realization that he's a laughing stock? I mean come on, that's Buzz Lightyear man. To make the cast even more perfect, Alan Rickman plays our Spock surrogate who never removes his head piece (even while at home gossiping on the phone) and we have Sam Rockwell (Moon and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) as a classic Red-Shirt team member, constantly aware and afraid of being killed off before the first commercial! And these are just a few of the glorious jems in the film that create the perfect realm.
If you have no idea on what the movie is about, shame on you, but here is a pretty simple synopsis taken from IMDb.com to explain a rather difficult summary: "The alumni cast of a space opera television series have to play their roles as the real thing when an alien race needs their help." ….. And that's really as the best as it gets.
If you're a fan of science fiction and haven't watched Galaxy Quest yet, you need to, even if you're not a hard core Trekkie, it's still a great time and delivers the laughs and a general euphoria of happiness whole watching. Making any fandom hope, and maybe even believe that their favorite show could be real. Because who wouldn't want the Doctor, Captain Kirk, Han Solo, Rose Tyler, Gamora, Leia, or Ellen Ripley to be real? At least in some alternate universe, they have to exist, right?
Galaxy Quest is currently available on Netflix as of May 2015, I would suggest watching it while also reading the trivia about.

Ice rescue tips
If you fall through the ice, you should not attempt to climb out immediately. Instead, kick to the surface and get horizontal in the water. Once horizontal, try to slide forward onto the ice. When you get out of the water, avoid standing near the broken ice. Roll away until you're several body-lengths from the ice break.
A set of ice awls can be used by both rescuers and victims. When the ice awl is jammed down into the ice, a retractable sheath exposes a metal pick, allowing the rescuer to crawl out to the victim or the victim to crawl out of the water onto solid ice.
The rescuer must be protected from danger when attempting to rescue someone who has fallen through the ice. Any device that helps to distribute the rescuer's weight over a wider area lessens the likelihood of the ice breaking. Rescuers should use some type of equipment to extend their reach and prevent being dragged into the water by the victim. Hockey sticks, ropes, tree branches, ladders, belts and the like are suitable. A water cooler with a line attached makes an excellent buoyant rescue aid.
A flat-bottomed boat, canoe or kayak can easily be slid along the ice until contact is made with the victim. If the ice breaks under the boat, the rescuers have a good platform to continue the rescue or retreat to the safety of the shoreline. The boat should be tethered to shore with a safety line.
If no regular or improvised rescue devices are available, you may need to form a human chain to rescue the victim. To form this chain, several rescuers approach as closely and safely as possible and then lie prone upon the ice to form a chain. Each person holds tightly to the ankles of the person ahead of him. When the lead person grasps the victim, the person nearest shore pulls the others back. If the ice breaks under the weight of the lead person in the chain, the individual can be held and drawn to safety by the others.

A cloud in your datacenter? Azure Stack arrives
At last it's here: After a prolonged gestation with three public previews, Microsoft has announced the release of Azure Stack. You can download the free Azure Stack Development Kit now. Complete hardware and software solutions will ship in the next couple of months, when Microsoft completes certification.
Bringing the public cloud to on-premises data centers was always going to be a big task, and Microsoft won't be delivering the entirety of Azure in this initial release. In fact, don't expect to ever see all of Azure in Azure Stack, as there are plenty of Azure features that rely on the scale of cloud. That said, there is more than enough to start with, with support for core Azure IaaS and PaaS features. Other optional elements include Azure's App Service and its serverless Functions.

UN-Prinzipien für den fairen Umgang mit überschuldeten Staaten (UN Principles on the fair treatment of over-indebted countries)
On 10 September 2015, at its Sixty-Ninth Session, the UN General Assembly in plenary session adopted the resolution on "Basic Principles on Sovereign Debt Restructuring Processes" (A/RES/69/319) in New York, with 135 member States voting for, six against and 42 abstentions. On the grounds that it would create uncertainty and reduce external financing for developing countries, the United States, supported by developed country allies – European Union countries, Japan, Australia and New Zealand – voted against the proposed General Assembly effort to start work toward a multilateral legal framework in the UN.
Only six countries, among them the US, the UK, and Germany, voted against the resolution. The US explained that it opposed the resolution because the principles implicitly recognize the right of a state to debt restructuring and to revoke contractual obligations. Developed countries boycotted this one-year effort, even though it was an official General Assembly process. The IMF and international organizations led by the developed countries, such as the European Commission, also chose not to participate in the discussion of the principles. With their advocacy of the legal framework and later of the nine principles for sovereign debt resolution, developing countries have placed themselves on the record as champions of efficient international financial markets that give developing country governments access to finance while building in accountability on the part of creditors for their actions. The countries that supported or have not objected to the nine UN principles have put down a moral marker against "the law of the jungle" approaches to sovereign debt resolution processes.

You should never ponder your capability and talent to bring in a great amount of success with your printing service business. In order to make your business thrive and be very successful, you will need to have a great deal of determination and willpower. Use these cool ideas in order to make your business lucrative.
Each person that comes to work for your printing company services will affect it in a meaningful way, so be certain to give a candidate serious consideration prior to issuing a job offer. Each person's skills and certifications should be verified prior to you offer them a position within your company. In order to guarantee that they are going to have no issues in finishing the tasks assigned to them, it'll be your responsibility to make certain that any new workers coming into your printing service business have received the proper training. It is vital to realize the role that happiness, motivation, and effective training have on helping your company to succeed.
When risks are taken without the benefit of a careful risk analysis, one of the things that can happen is printing service business failure. No matter what number of resources your business has in reserve, taking a substantial risk can completely empty your bank accounts. Always make an effort to minimize the amount of risk any decision carries to prevent your business from falling into ruin. By directing a watchful danger evaluation every time you are confronted with a noteworthy choice, you can stay with your gainful.
The most crucial criteria for many customers when they are deciding which printing consulting company can get their repeat printing service business is who provided the best customer service. The old saying "if it isn't broken, do not fix it" offers great advice; if you have a high customer retention rate, you are doing something right and should resist making a lot of changes. You need to set and maintain exceptionally high standards when you add new services, so that your customers are never disappointed. You will find yourself facing the most trouble with businesses who offer not only quality products but quality service as well.

During the summer blockbuster season, it's easy for smaller, more offbeat and adventurous movies to get lost in the shuffle. Every Tuesday for six weeks, local film writer and alumnus Paul Matwychuk ('93 English & Film Studies, '98 LLB) will come to your aid by highlighting a cinematic "hidden gem"— a movie that deserves your attention, even if you might not be aware it exists.
Let it be said up front that while Amy, Asif Kapadia's new documentary about the tragically short life of singer Amy Winehouse, is a sad and heartbreaking experience, it's also full to bursting with life and humour. I watched it the same night as Trainwreck and I think I laughed harder at the clip where Winehouse rolls her eyes and nods with mock interest as an interviewer prattles on and on about Dido than at anything Amy Schumer did in her movie. And Amy Schumer is really damn funny.
That, of course, was a big part of Winehouse's appeal when she burst onto the British music scene in 2003 with her album Frank. It wasn't just her remarkably mature voice, influenced by decades' worth of great jazz and blues singers (Winehouse combined the focused vocal power of Dinah Washington with the idiosyncratic, sinuous phrasing of Billie Holiday — kittenish yet tough); it was her lack of pretense and total inability to censor herself. There's a clip in Amy where British chat-show host Jonathan Ross tells her he likes her because she's "common," like himself. She doesn't take it as an insult. (A few clips later, charmingly, you see her wearing the very same dress to the Ivor Novello Awards.) She was a good time gal, and she made for great television.
She continued to made great copy even when she became a pop superstar thanks to 2006's monster hit album Back to Black, but her consumption of drugs and alcohol (not to mention her bulimia) got out of control. Few films have made being photographed seem like more of a literal physical assault than Amy — there are several sequences in which the increasingly frail and disheveled Winehouse (usually accompanied by her lover, enabler and eventual husband Blake Fielder) attempts to walk down the street while surrounded by dozens of paparazzi, their flashbulbs filling the screen with blinding white light. We see plenty of the resulting photos in Amy, those famous shots of her in her filthy ballet flats, her mascara smudged, her hair a rat's nest, her collarbones nearly protruding through her skin, that made her fodder for countless late-night comedians, who apparently found her worsening health and obvious emotional distress deeply hilarious.
It wasn't just her remarkably mature voice, it was her lack of pretense and total inability to censor herself.
Amy balances out that tabloid image of Winehouse, however, with a treasure trove of home movies, cellphone footage and candid snapshots of Winehouse hanging out with her friends and colleagues at her flat in Camden. A natural ham, her star quality and down-to-earth sense of humour stands out even in still photos. In one wonderful sequence, she takes a friend on a tour of her new apartment, talking a mile a minute in a ridiculous Greek accent and pretending to be her own abused maid. (She points at a tiny cupboard in the kitchen and cheerfully says, "That's where I sleep.")
Naturally, the film also contains plenty of footage of Winehouse singing — not just in concerts and on TV shows, but privately at home, and in the studio. You don't need me to tell you that she was the real deal; it's obvious from the scene where she lays down the vocal track for "Back to Black," nailing not just every note but every emotional turn of the song's raw, witty lyrics. Indeed, Kapadia seems particularly intent on highlighting Winehouse's talent not merely as a singer but as a songwriter too — he puts the lyrics of each song onscreen, so that we can better appreciate their compact power and Winehouse's way with vivid, unexpected images.
Kapadia specializes in documentaries about talented people who died young — his previous film was 2010's Senna, about Brazilian auto racing legend Ayrton Senna — but somehow his films never end up seeming ghoulish or exploitative. Amy is a celebration of a great pop artist's life, and a heartfelt eulogy for her vast wasted potential. Music meant everything to Amy Winehouse, and if it means even a little to you, this is a movie you should see.
Amy is playing at Landmark Cinemas 9 City Centre Edmonton.
Directed by Asif Kapadia. Featuring Amy Winehouse.

TIME: 18:00 – 19:00, Tuesday 19th April 2016
VENUE: The Henry Jackson Society, Millbank Tower, 21-24 Millbank, London SW1P 4QP
SPEAKER: Ambassador Yossi Gal, Vice President, Hebrew University, Advancement and External Relations, and former Director-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Israel
To attend please RSVP to: firstname.lastname@example.com
After eleven years the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement still seems to be growing in popularity and shows no signs of slowing down. The global movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel has been continually thrust into the spotlight recently, with universities voting on BDS resolutions, various commercial entities refusing to do business with their Israeli counterparts, and notable public figures calling for celebrities to cancel events in Israel. The BDS movement is a key component of the attritional war against Israel's legitimacy and existence. The question remains for those who are concerned about the future of liberal democracy's increasingly uncertain world – what is the antidote to a movement that seeks to undermine a member of our liberal democratic community by concealing its true aims?
The Henry Jackson Society is pleased to invite you to an event with Ambassador Yossi Gal, Vice President for the Hebrew University, Advancement and External Relations. Ambassador Gal will be discussing the BDS movement and what the antidote to the movement is for Israel. He will also explore Israel's contribution to international science and technology, and discuss the importance of academic cooperation and collaboration for the benefit of all parties.
To attend, please RSVP to email@example.com – RSVPs must include your full name and any affiliations including for any guests you wish to bring. We will send a confirmation that will be required to attend the event.
Speaker biography:
Ambassador Yossi Gal most recently served Israel as the nation's Ambassador to France and Monaco (2010-2015) and previously was posted to Washington, D.C. twice, as Director of the Ambassador's office (1976-1981) and as spokesman of the embassy (1985-1989). He served as Israel's ambassador to the Netherlands from 1995-2001. He has fulfilled varied responsibilities at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has been extensively involved in international relations. Ambassador Gal participated in the Madrid Peace Conference and was a member of the peace negotiating team with Jordan and the Palestinians. He headed the process of Israel's adherence to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and led the negotiations on upgrading relations with the European Union.

Ear Infections In Dog : Symptoms, Prevention and RemediesExotire Exotic Pet Care
Ear Infection in Dogs
If you are a dog owner, you might have come across one of the most common problems, ear infection. If your dog suddenly starts whining and scratching at her ears, or shakes its head persistently, then all these might be indications of ear infection.
There are 3 kinds of ear infections — otitis externa (outer ear infection), media (middle ear infection), and internal (inner ear infection)—affecting different parts of the canine ear. In comparison to inner and middle ear infection, it's easier to prevent/cure an outer ear infection (usually accompanied by bad odor of the waxy discharge). It's estimated that about 20 percent of dogs have some form of ear disease.
Some of the major reasons which lead to infection in dogs ear are :
- Improper hygiene
- Fungal growth
- Bacterial infections
- Unhealthy environment
- Food allergies
- Mite infestation
- Liver balance
- Neck injury (trauma, collars)
- Lumbar injury, which affects the intestinal tract and thus the ears
- Too much ear cleaning is a very frequent mistake
- Too frequent treatment like repeated drug administration causes bacterial resistance and severe deep infections
- Wax buildup
It's a common belief that cleaning ears wax will help. In fact, frequent ear cleaning often disturbs the ears and also introduces more resistant pathogenic bacteria, such as proteus or pseudomonas. If you clean it out over and over, dog will slide into a vicious cycle of never ending ear problems. The only recommend time for cleaning is once at the beginning of the treatment and then wait and see.
Symptoms of Dog Ear Infections
Dog ear canals are very sensitive, so the symptoms of infection includes :
- Head shaking
- Odors
- Scaly skin
- Whining and pawing at the affected ear
- Dark, smelly discharge
- Redness and swelling
- Itchiness
Prevent Ear Infections in Dogs
As with most diseases, prevention is always best.
- Make sure that ears are fully dry after swimming/bating, use cotton balls for this purpose.
- Fill the canal with a cleaning solution and massage the vertical ear canal from the outside. Wipe out the canal, avoid use of paper towels or cotton for this purpose as it leaves fibers behind, which could cause an irritation.
- Cotton-tipped sticks can be used in cleaning the folds of ear flap, but don't use them in the ear canal.
To help your dog overcome this problem, here are some diagnosis method which can be used.
Consult A Vet
Vet will thoroughly cleans your dog's ear and will prescribe a topical medication or systemic antibiotics, that will probably need to continue at home. They will likely also prescribe something for pain, or steroids to ease inflammation. Lapses in treatment leads to recurrence. It's important to complete the full course of medication, even if it appears to be cured.
Home Remedies
- Garlic With Olive Oil :- Steep 2 garlic cloves in olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 2 weeks then, strain it. Pour 2-3 drops of the mixture in the pet's ear on daily basis until the infection heals fully.
- Warm Water :- Soak a towel in hot water. Squeeze the excess water. Hold and press gently on dog's ear. Repeat this remedy several times a day for the best results.
- Aloe Vera Gel :- Warm some aloe vera gel. Pour 1 teaspoon in each ear of the dog. This helps to cure redness or irritation in the ear.
- Herbal Flea Powder :- After a bath, sprinkle herbal flea powder that contains pennyroyal powder, eucalyptus, rue, wormwood, and rosemary, on the dog's body. It will remove the mites clinging to the pet.
- Probiotic Yogurt :- Apply a small amount of organic probiotic yogurt (must have active probiotic bacteria) to the ear. Rub well. This is one of the best natural remedy for yeast infections.
- Maintain good hygiene.
- Groom your dog frequently to reduce the risk of ear infection.
- Check your dog's ears for twigs, leaves and other foreign objects.
- Give Vitamin C to your dog.
- Cut all the hair growing in the ear canal, which increases the risk of infection.
- Avoid use medications without consulting a vet.

Democratic presidential candidates clashed in their final debate before first votes are cast in Iowa, with Hillary Clinton presenting herself as the most qualified candidate as she fended off attacks by pugnacious rival Bernie Sanders. The pair, along with ex-Maryland governor Martin O'Malley, took the stage in Charleston, South Carolina as frontrunner Clinton feels the heat from challenger Sanders in a tightening nomination race. All three are aware that their performance could be the best opportunity to reshape the race ahead of Iowa, which votes two weeks from Monday.

A popular vacation destination for people in the Northeastern United States, the Jersey Shore has over 40 communities, each with its own distinct character.

Visitors to Glenmary.com will find a host of features that make it easy to navigate, featuring an advanced search engine that can let them quickly find properties by narrowing down their specific categories, whether it's by location, property type, price range, and more. The site also includes tips and advice for buyers and sellers, as well as a separate area for real estate owners whose property needs to be re-positioned, rehabilitated, or managed more efficiently.
With more than a decade of experience in the industry, Christopher Lombardi and his siblings have been connected to various aspects of real estate, from architecture and design, to renovation and commercial real estate management. Joining forces to form Glenmary Real Estate, a full service real estate agency that helps homeowners buy, sell, and manage residential properties, they provide a full range of real estate services to New Jersey and Pennsylvania homeowners. "We're proud of our technological resources," Lombardi adds.

It could be understood that it's cruel and ignorant to snap judge a person without knowing the whole story. That's why when a stranger criticized one mom for "spoiling" her daughter, she took to Facebook to share the heartbreaking reasons.
Kelly Dirkes adopted Grace when she was 10 months old, even though the child has special needs and has suffered medical problems such as sepsis and organ failure.
One day, Dirkes was carrying Grace around in a baby carrier while shopping at Target.
At the store, a woman came up to Dirkes and accused her for "spoiling" her daughter.
The woman warned her that Grace would never learn how to be independent if she continued to carry her around.
That was not the first time Dirkes heard that she "spoils that baby."
Hearing such a comment again, she simply smiled at the woman, kissed her baby's head, and resumed her shopping.
Later, Dirkes explained in a Facebook post why she "spoils" Grace.
"Dear Woman in Target," Dirkes wrote. "If you only knew what I know."
She wrote that Grace spent the first 10 months of her life alone inside a metal crib.
"If you only knew what her face looked like the moment her orphanage caregiver handed her to me to cradle for the very first time—fleeting moments of serenity commingled with sheer terror," Dirkes continued. "No one had ever held her that way before, and she had no idea what she was supposed to do."
The woman never knew Grace would not cry after waking up, because up till now, nobody would respond. And now, the baby will whimper whenever she's put down, rather than when she's picked up.
Neither did she know "anxiety was a standard part of her day, along with banging her head on her crib rails and rocking herself for sensory input and comfort."
"If you only knew that that baby in the carrier is heartbreakingly "independent"—and how we will spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years trying to override the part of her brain that screams "trauma" and "not safe," Dirkes wrote.
That's why "spoiling" Grace is a privileged task and the most important job Dirkes will ever have.
"I will carry her for a little while longer—or as long as she'll let me—because she is learning that she is safe. That she belongs. That she is loved," stressed Dirkes, who is also mother of a girl named Charlotte—adopted from a Russian orphanage in 2011.
Dirkes's letter has since done the rounds online, being shared more than 29,600 times.
"You are the most awesomest mom!!!" one Facebook user wrote.
"Sad that it is so easy to judge others and such a challenge to open one's heart," another commented.
It's always best to think twice before passing judgement, because we know nothing about the struggle others may be facing.

Unpacking Standards into
Student Learning Targets
Why Unpack Standards?
Standards are often written in terms that might be
interpreted differently
from teacher to teacher.
The unpacking process is
a strategy to achieve collective clarity and agreement regarded specific learning targets
contained within the standards.
By identifying specific learning targets through the unpacking process,
teams will be prepared to design aligned and accurate assessment items
Step 1: Focus on Key Words
Circle the skills (verbs)
Underline knowledge and concepts.
Bracket the context
Step 5: Define Assessment Evidence
Assessments should align directly to the unpacked learning targets. Common assessments are most powerful when they are formative in nature.
Step 2: Unpack the Targets
When verbs are vague, substitute them with observable and measurable verbs.
Make sure to use academic language.
Step 3: Analyze the Targets
"If we gear our instruction and assessment below the intended level of thinking, we're not really teaching the standard." -Chris Jakicic
Step 4: Determine the "Big Ideas" and/or Essential Questions
"Master teachers spend
more time unpacking standards and objectives
than they do planning learning activities because they understand that
clear learning goals
will drive everything else they do."
from Robyn Jackson, Never Work Harder Than Your Students
"When a team moves forward in its
accurate assessment of learning targets
and takes action to
ensure that students are actually attaining the skills and concepts
, it has exemplified a true
guaranteed and viable curriculum
-Kim Bailey and Chris Jakicic
Backwards Planning
Target - Target - Target
Curricular Units
Quality, Core Differentiated Instruction
Step 2.5: Define the Learning Targets
Clear, consistent message for kids to understand what is expected of them.
Webb's DOK is the rigor measure used in the Iowa Core.
DOK and Bloom's Revised
When structured effectively, guiding questions lead students to seek and acquire answers to big ideas - they direct students' search for understanding.
So Now What?
Teams must unpack each priority standard.
This is the foundation of our curriculum work as it is the step where we connect the standards directly to assessments.
Once every PS is unpacked, teams will articulate units of instruction aligned to the curricular resources. This step incorporates the selection of high-quality instructional strategies and DI practices that support learning for all students.

Numerous sites on the Internet offer Viagra for sale after an "online consultation", often a simple web questionnaire. [47] [48] The Viagra name has become so well known, many fake aphrodisiacs now call themselves " herbal viagra " or are presented as blue tablets imitating the shape and colour of Pfizer's product. Viagra is also informally known as "vitamin V", "the blue pill", or "blue diamond", as well as various other nicknames.

New Moon in Libra | September 30th, 2016
This new moon is all about stepping outside of the old rules for your life and really leaping into the new way you are actively creating your dreams.
You have been on a very long journey. Finally things are just beginning to take shape.
This journey may have included being in a period of sharing your ideas, creative project, or your next steps in life with someone you very much respect in your life; an elder, mentor, teacher, or parent. There may have even been a silent longing to get your ideas validated by others before you took that next step.
Well, this new moon is introducing a strong green light to keep going with any of your new ideas!
With this validation, you may have noticed you begin to move into hyper speed - nonstop. There is a sense of pride in your new ideas and consistent movement forward. Perhaps, in your rapid growth, you may even start to notice where you have outgrow some people around you.
They too are noticing this shift in your life. You are truly unique and others are noticing how different you are from most anyone they know. You are truly on your own path and are embarking on brand new territory!
Yet, even if anyone is moving at a slower pace, you are becoming a beacon of inspiration for others while they consider their own life, missed opportunities, and old dreams they may want to bring back again.
This new moon is also bringing up a bit of fear, or self consciousness, that hits just as you are about to really take your first big step into creating your new idea, project, or life experience.
You may be noticing that you begin to second guess yourself and your new ideas. Keep in mind, your ideas are so revolutionary, fresh, innovative, even perhaps a bit on the dreamer side of things, that there may not be anything that exists like what you are actively dream up for this life.
As you begin to navigate your way through these emotions, the new moon in Libra is attempting to positively highlight the beauty of how different you are in this life. Yet, feeling a bit more raw, you might be wondering "Why do I have to be so different?"
The new moon is showing you that being different is huge part of who you are and the "brand new" things you are bringing into the world matter. Keep the past lunar eclipses in mind while you find your way through this energy. The recent eclipses really showed us our purpose and meaning; what you bring to the world matters.
The new moon is stimulating that there is no longer a need to ask for permission to begin a new project. We can really do things our own way. This new moon is bringing an awareness that as innovators we do not need to ask a select group of people to support our creative ideas. This is a great time to allow the old rules to fall away so that you can create anew.
For example, money can come from a variety of sources. You can explore brand new avenues for sharing your story. You can cross-collaborate with a multitude of different people at the same time. You get to create the new way of doing things in your life!
This new moon is moving us into a transformative period where, as a community, this is a time of releasing the old idea and stepping into the new ideas of what makes someone feel safe and provided for in this world. Being a good, hard worker, may not be benefiting us as it use to in the past. As a community, the new moon is showing us that we can shift into becoming more flexibility, adaptable, creative and versatile when it comes to nurturing a sense of safety in our lives.
This is a time of innovation and creativity all around. This new level of safety can allow us to create the very best things from what we already have in our life - and even exceed our expectations.
During this new moon, giving yourself permission to indulge in your senses, and try something completely new, can gracefully push you through this period of growth.
Perhaps, eating foods that are so beautifully vibrant in color you end up cooking it for dinner. Or perhaps following the scent of something that smells really good and discovering something new in your neighborhood. This is a great time to go to that new pottery class that you've always were curious to take - or any other class. This is such a great time to expand outside of your comfort zone with a wealth of curiosity.
In allowing yourself to indulge and trying new things, you give yourself space for more creativity and new ways of thinking. This is a great way to shake up the old so you can create the new!
The new moon is ushering in a wave of opportunity so new it may not even exist yet! The new moon is showing us, if we are ready, we can surrender the old to create the new.
Happy New Moon!
