A visual guide for those who want to understand architecture
A visual guide on the example of a photo, for those who wanted to understand architecture.
When traveling the world or just walking, our view falls and lingers on beautiful architectural structures or ornaments. Roulette, Poroslo, Portico, Portal, Porebrik, Pilaster, Buttress, Set of columns, Capital, Zakomara, Comb, Garland, Gallery (gulbishche), Voluty, Belvedere, Balusters, Balustrade, Atticus, Entablement, all this can be seen hours, since they are flawless.
To the next time you could easily distinguish the balustrade from the baluster, we made a simple and understandable guide on the basic architectural terms and forms.
Dictionary of architectural terms (used materials: "Architectural and Construction Dictionary" by V.Poplavsky and other sources.)
The upper horizontal part of the structure, usually lying on columns. The entablature will be divided into a bearing part - architrave, - on the frieze resting on it and the crowning part - the cornice.
The wall erected over the cornice crowning the architectural structure.
Low fencing of stairs, terraces and balconies, consisting of a series of figured columns (balusters), connected by railings.
Low figured columns (sometimes with carved decor) supporting the railings of balconies and stairs.
Superstructure above the building, usually round in plan.
Architectural detail in the form of a spiral curl with a circle ("eye") in the center, characteristic of the Baroque style.
Gallery (gulbishche)
A long covered light room adjoining the building wall. One of the walls of the gallery is replaced by columns, pillars or balustrade, adjacent to the wall of the building.
Ornamental motif of undulating drooping leaves, flowers, ribbons, etc., characteristic of the Baroque.
Figured curls decorating the top of the wall.
Semicircular completion of the section of the wall, closing the inner vault adjacent to it.
The top of the column or pilasters of different shapes.
Stone or concrete vertical ledge (rib), reinforcing the outer wall.
Decorative column made up of small carved elements.
Flat vertical protrusion on the wall surface.
Type of brickwork, in which one row of bricks is laid at an angle to the outer surface of the wall.
Architecturally decorated entrance to the building.
A characteristic element of buildings built in the style of classicism: a series of columns placed in front of the building's facade.
A section of the wall between the two pilasters.
Round in a section of the structure, usually crowned with a dome. Rotunda often completes the central part of the building in the style of classicism.
Decorative decoration in the form of a rectangular groove, sometimes decorated with stucco.
Bay window
The part of the room that protrudes behind the plane of the facade.

Applicator aptitude
Applicator aptitude
ABOUT two in five granular applicators put on the wrong dose, says the AEA, prompting it to launch a series of training courses for machinery fitters as an extension of its sprayer testing service.
Accurate application is vital to get the best from granules like nematicide Nemathorin (fosthiazate), save money and protect the environment, says trainer Graham Basil of Benest Technologies.
The main reason for over-dosing, which regularly tops 25%, is wear or damage to the feed rotors, says the AEAs Duncan Russell. "When you are dealing with expensive products like these the cost of testing can very soon be recouped."
Machinery testing is an important part of the measures taken by the CPA to avoid a pesticides tax, adds Ben Miles crop campaign manager for Syngenta, which hosted the first workshop at its headquarters in Whittles-ford, Cambs, last week. *
Trainer Graham Basil (right) and Richard Batchelor, service engineer with Norfolk-based Sands Ag Machinery, get to grips with nematicide applicator settings.

The Disabled Culture that DisArt promotes is one that resists patrolling its borders, keeping out individuals who perhaps don't fit the mold. Instead, DisArt understands the inherent need for nondisabled and Disabled people to live and work together towards equal access and justice. Promoting a Disabled Culture does not eclipse this type of community making, but rather strengthens it.
Most importantly, DisArt looks to contemporary art as a means of social cohesion and cultural transformation. Understandings of Disability as a culture can be as poetic as they are political. Here, to the right, is one of our favorite translations of what Disability culture might look and feel like. Please take a minute to watch and listen to Neil Marcus' "Disabled Country."
DisArt Promotes a Disability Culture
DisArt intentionally capitalizes the D in Disabled to indicate its belief that disability is a cultural identity rather than only a physical or mental condition of a body or mind. Although "people first language" is widely accepted by other organizations, DisArt believes that the phrase "people with disabilities" unnaturally separates Disable people from their own identities.
Since the 1960's, Disabled people have been fighting for civil rights, sometimes alongside other minority racial and gendered cultures. As such, the political identity of Disabled people has been crafted and maintained by individuals who find safety, comfort, and power within a community of shared experiences. To respect that work and history, DisArt has always forwarded the benefits of understanding Disability as a Culture, one with shared values, norms, behaviors, symbols, and expressions.

which I have used for a couple of years. I have several notebooks, but I always take the HP when I'm travelling, as it's small and light.
It hasn't missed a beat since the day I bought it, and it's had some heavy use. I have no experience of the 4000 series, and can only speak from personal experience - I would certainly buy HP again.

Travel Agents across Cleveland Again Help to Spread Crime Prevention Message
Local travel agents across Cleveland are again helping to spread the message that if you advertise your break on social media, then you invite burglars to break-in.
A social media survey conducted by Cleveland Police last summer found that 58% of 100 people questioned had posted status updates or photographs of themselves out of their house. 59% of people also said that they did not know everyone who had access to their profile.
Alarmingly, 38% of those that were surveyed said that they had been a victim of burglary, however, 18% of these said they would still be likely or highly likely to post on social media about when they are out of the house. 59% also said that they did not personally know everyone with access to their profiles.
Branches of Dawson & Sanderson, Thomas Cook and Thomson across Cleveland are getting involved in distributing crime prevention postcards to their customers to raise awareness of the dangers of posting on social media when they are going away on holiday.
Detective Inspector Glen Westmoreland said: "We are again working in partnership with local travel agents to help spread the message that advertising that your home is empty could result in it being targeted by a burglar.
"Whilst not all burglaries occur as a result of victims being targeted through social media, it is important that people are vigilant about their security in every way possible to help prevent them from becoming a victim.
"The results of the survey that we have carried out last year clearly show that some people are unaware of the risk that they are taking when posting on social media. In distributing these postcards, we are hoping to highlight that risk to those who may be booking holidays or going abroad or even just going out for the night.
"We would like to remind those people not to post on social media about being out of their home, especially if there are people who have access to their profile that they do not know personally."
Gail Smithson, Thomson's Regional Sales Manager, said: "Thomson and First Choice take thousands of people in the region on holiday every year so we are happy to support Cleveland Police, we hope the initiative makes a positive difference and helps people enjoy their holidays."
Cleveland Police crime prevention advice to protect your home includes:
• Always lock your doors and windows.
• Make your home look occupied with use of plug-in timers to illuminate your home during hours of darkness.
• Keep the rear of your premises secure and ensure that side rear gates are locked. Do not provide easy access to the rear of your property.
• Use of dusk to dawn lighting, particularly to the rear of the property, will help to deter burglars.
• Remove keys from locks and away from doors where they are out of sight.
• Use an alarm.
• Do not leave tools and ladders lying about and keep your shed and garage secure.
• Make sure your items are traceable by post-coding your property with your house number using a UV pen.

This morning on another network I will not mention -- CNN -- Donald Trump said that a contested convention would be super awesome:
DONALD TRUMP, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I think we'll win before getting to the convention but I can tell you, if we didn't and if we're 20 votes short or if we're, if we're, you know, a hundred short, and we're at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400, because we're way ahead of everybody, I don't think you can say that we don't get it automatically. I think it would be -- I think you would have riots. I think you would have riots.
I must have misheard. He said there will be riots -- twice.
Now maybe he didn't mean it or maybe he did. It probably doesn't matter. But we should be consistent. After all, if we bash radicals for inciting unrest if their demands are met, we should probably do that here.
But I am not worried. Who would Trump supporters riot against? I can't see them destroying businesses, because either they work in them or they own them. They don't tip over cop cars or heave rocks at fire trucks because they're likely to be cops or firemen themselves. They would never throw a chair through a window, because that chair cost them 75 bucks at Crate and Barrel. Law-abiding people abide by laws. They aren't occupying Wall Street, they occupy Main Streets.
But what of the candidate, that kinder, gentler one we keep hearing about? Trump's comment reveals that he's aware that he has a faithful army and it must be really good knowing these people are there and willing to fight for you and stick by you even if you shoot someone on Fifth Avenue. But being an actual leader means not abusing power, but humbly respecting it.
Suggesting lawlessness even off-hand in response to a lawful, but unpopular event isn't very presidential. And even though a movement can indeed feel really exciting, we must not shed our scruples in service of a phenomenon. America already did that once in 2008.
Greg Gutfeld currently serves as host of FOX News Channel's (FNC) The Greg Gutfeld Show (Saturdays 10-11PM/ET) and co-host of The Five (weekdays 5-6PM/ET). He joined the network in 2007 as a contributor. Click here for more information on Greg Gutfeld.

Halloween 2016
Happy Halloween, everyone! I just want to drop by and share a couple of projects. I am so in-love with this stamp set called Glamper Camper. The images in this set is so versatile and I love that they are photopolymer. I am not much of a camper at all, but I might give it a try if it's done in a camper. Haha.
Well, here you go...last day of October and then on to crunch time holiday mode. Below are the products used to create these projects. Look out for Christmas cards. I've been trying to try and be ahead of schedule this year. We'll see...

Washington, DC is a city of monuments and memorials. We honor the generals, politicians, poets and statesmen who helped shape our great nation. Although the most famous monuments and memorials are on the National Mall, you will find statues and plaques on many street corners around the city. Since Washington, DC's monuments are spread out, it is hard to visit all of them on foot. At busy times, traffic and parking makes it difficult to visit the monuments by car. The best way to see the major monuments is to take a sightseeing tour.
Many of the memorials are open late at night and their illumination makes nighttime a prime time to visit. See photos of the Major National Memorials
See a Map of the Memorials

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 30, 2016) - The Canadian Labour Congress is celebrating today's announcement by the Alberta government that it will be phasing in a $15 minimum wage by 2018. The CLC is calling on the federal government, and the other provinces, to make a $15 minimum wage the universal standard for workers across the country.
"Today, the Alberta government fulfills a key election promise, one that will help nearly 300,000 working people who currently struggle to afford basic needs like housing, transportation and food," said Canadian Labour Congress President Hassan Yussuff.
"Alberta has shown bold leadership and set a new standard. One that we are urging the rest of Canada to follow," Yussuff added.
Across Canada, about 25 percent of Canadian workers - more than four million people - earned at or near the minimum wage in 2015. Women are disproportionately represented in this group, with fully one-third earning less than $15/hour, compared to 22 percent of men. For racialized Canadians and other marginalized groups, the impact can be far greater.
The Fight for $15 campaign has been gaining momentum throughout North America for the past several years, with key wins in California, New York, Seattle and most recently, Washington, D.C.
"Experts have been studying minimum wage increases for decades. The evidence is clear: a higher minimum wage does not kill jobs, but in fact can actually benefit businesses by reducing employee turnover, increasing productivity and boosting local spending ability," Yussuff said.
The Canadian Labour Congress is calling on the Trudeau government to implement a $15 minimum wage for federal workers and on the other provinces to follow suit.
The Canadian Labour Congress, the national voice of the labour movement, represents 3.3 million Canadian workers.

Magnetically launched flyer plate technique for probing electrical conductivity of compressed copper
The electrical conductivity of materials under extremes of temperature and pressure is of crucial importance for a wide variety of phenomena, including planetary modeling, inertial confinement fusion, and pulsed power based dynamic materialsexperiments. There is a dearth of experimental techniques and data for highly compressed materials, even at known states such as along the principal isentrope and Hugoniot, where many pulsed power experiments occur. We present a method for developing, calibrating, and validating material conductivity models as used in magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) simulations. The difficulty in calibrating a conductivity model is in knowing where the model should be modified. Our method isolates those regions that will have an impact. It also quantitatively prioritizes which regions will have the most beneficial impact. Finally, it tracks the quantitative improvements to the conductivity model during each incremental adjustment. In this study, we use an experiment on Sandia National Laboratories Z-machine to isentropically launch multiple flyer plates and, with the MHD code ALEGRA and the optimization code DAKOTA, calibrated the conductivity such that we matched an experimental figure of merit to +/–1%.

Spencer Lee Jordan, 26, and Marie Eve Magoon, 22, have each been charged with one count of second degree murder in the death Meika Dawn Jordan.
The six-year-old died in hospital on Nov. 14, one day after police were called to a Calgary home.
Police say family told them at the time that the girl suffered injuries after a fall down a set of stairs.
An autopsy concluded that she died as a result of multiple blunt force trauma.
Investigators said last week that the girl's father and stepmother had been suspects from the beginning, but new evidence narrowed down the timeframe of when the girl's injuries occurred.
"This has been a complex investigation utilizing a significant number of resources from within the Calgary police service. Resources from police and partnering agencies were also utilized," Staff Sgt. Doug Andrus told a news conference on Monday.
"This inter-departmental and inter-agency co-operation and assistance was key in resolving this case," he added.
Police said last week that the autopsy revealed that blunt force trauma was sustained to the girl's head and abdomen and was not consistent with a fall down stairs.
They also said she may have suffered other injuries prior to her death, including a third-degree burn to her palm and fingers. They alleged that at the time she suffered those injuries, she was in the sole care of her father and stepmother.
They said the two were uncooperative with the investigation.
Andrus said that Spencer Lee Jordan and Magoon were arrested Sunday without incident.
They will appear in court Tuesday.

When All Hell Breaks Loose Give 'em Heaven Instead
Does it ever seem like all hell is breaking loose around you? Whether it be in your marriage, relationships with others, on the job, or just everything coming at you all at once; it can cause you to wonder, "What in the world is going on?!"
I remember last summer having to throw some raw chicken out because it had expired before I could use it. What I didn't realize was that the combination of the heat and the rotting meat in the damp, dark garbage pail outside was an invitation for flies to come and lay their eggs. Gross! When I went out on garbage day to pull the pails to the street, I almost passed out from the overpowering smell. Even worse, I could barely touch the pail, which was now covered in maggots. It was the perfect atmosphere for the flies to reproduce. Sorry for the gross example, but the just like those flies, the enemy looks for the perfect atmosphere to reproduce as well.
This reminds me of James 3:16 which says, "For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice." The enemy looks for a certain kind of atmosphere to come and wreak havoc in our lives. But, just as he is attracted to a certain kind of atmosphere, so is God. We can choose to cultivate a Heavenly atmosphere in our lives and see our every situation transformed by it. Often we want our situation to change, but God has placed right within us what we need to change it. This is why Jesus said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you (Luke 17:21)." Where Heaven is, God's power and authority is. And when we release it, we'll see it affect every area of our lives. But, let's clarify this…What does this mean practically for us and how does it help us when all hell seems to be breaking loose?
Let me share an example from my marriage. When Rob and I were first married let's just say we had a lot of things to work out, or rather, allow God to work in us. We were two independent, strong personalities and to say we banged heads often was an understatement! Much of the first few years of our marriage, I was hurt and angry with him just as he was with me. I wanted him to change and so that was my focus, until I finally listened to the Holy Spirit who was telling me to stop focusing on him and focus on myself. Instead of reacting when all hell would break loose in our marriage, I would stop, take a deep breath and not react. Then, I would choose to respond in love, be a peacemaker and not hold onto offense. While I still hurt and wanted to respond in other ways, I chose not to and I prayed a lot. Yes, I prayed for my husband, but I prayed for myself too. "Lord if there be anything in ME, that needs to be healed or changed, help me. "In time, I not only saw radical changes in my marriage, but within my own personal life. I became a stronger, healthier person, able to experience more and more of what God had for me in life.
No, this isn't a marriage article, because the example applies to any situation. When all hell breaks loose we can either cultivate the atmosphere for it to thrive or create the atmosphere that Heaven thrives in.
2 Corinthians 2:15 says, "Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God." Our responses either attract heaven or hell. So, when all hell breaks loose, instead of lashing out in anger, becoming offended, being selfish, prideful, or any of these things that cause our situation to only get worse; we can choose to be a peacemaker, let love rule, and be humble. This is how we allow Heaven to be released through us. It's a fact that we'll face challenging times in life, but we can be confident that we'll overcome them all. So next time all hell breaks loose, give 'em Heaven instead!

A polygamy case against Winston Blackmore and James Oler, two men who have numerous wives, was quashed by the Supreme Court of British Columbia because the provincial government acted unfairly in pursuing the prosecution.
The ruling Wednesday stunned those who wanted to see the landmark case put polygamy on trial in Canada.
"I'm absolutely devastated. I've been crying so hard. I can't find words to describe how I feel," said Nancy Mereska, co-ordinator of a group called Stop Polygamy in Canada.
"The polygamists will see this as a great victory. … My God! My God! My God! My heart is broken!" she wrote in a blog posting.
Mr. Blackmore told CTV the case had put him and his community under a lot of stress and he's glad it's over.
"It has been a long hard summer for us. Long hard year for us. Not just summer. It's taken a toll on us. It's taken a toll on many of our family members," he said.
"So we're going to just celebrate today and hopefully the future. … I mean I'm, I'm very pleased."
Premier Gordon Campbell said his government still wants to resolve the polygamy issue, but he isn't clear what the legal remedy is. "I was surprised and disappointed when I heard the ruling," he said. "I think it's important to solve the issue [of polygamy] The question is, how do you solve it?"
Madam Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein found that the former attorney-general of B.C. had unfairly gone "special prosecutor shopping" when he ignored the advice of two prosecutors and kept searching until one was found who wanted to press charges.
By doing so, Judge Stromberg-Stein said, the attorney-general "upset the critical balance that … should be kept between political interference and accountability."
The judge quashed the appointment of special prosecutor Terrence Robertson who was assigned the high-profile case last year under the attorney-general at the time, Wally Oppal.
The ruling had the effect of throwing out the Crown's case against Mr. Blackmore, who was charged with having 19 wives, and Mr. Oler, who was charged with having two wives.
The two men are rival leaders in a polygamous community near the settlement of Bountiful, in southeastern B.C. and their controversial lifestyle has long been the focus of police and government interest.
Judge Stromberg-Stein noted that before Mr. Robertson's appointment, two previous prosecutors had advised Mr. Oppal not to proceed with charges.
After the RCMP recommended charges, four senior Crown counsel, including assistant deputy attorney-general Robert Gillen, advised Mr. Oppal there was little chance of conviction.
But Mr. Oppal sought the appointment of a special prosecutor and Richard Peck was assigned.
Mr. Peck concluded there should be no criminal charges laid.
A few months later, however, Mr. Oppal sought the appointment of an ad hoc prosecutor, Leonard Doust, to review Mr. Peck's findings.
Mr. Doust subsequently confirmed Mr. Peck's views.
"Following the receipt of Mr. Doust's opinion, the attorney-general was quoted in the media as saying he favoured laying a polygamy charge but prosecutors in the Criminal Justice Branch believed the case would fail because of a constitutional violation of religious freedom," Judge Stromberg-Stein states in her ruling.
She said the attorney-general then sought "a more aggressive approach" which led to the appointment of Mr. Robertson.
Mr. Robertson, whose decision-making independence was not questioned in court, favoured laying charges.
Before the trial began, lawyers for Mr. Blackmore and Mr. Oler argued the decision by Mr. Peck, as special prosecutor, was final, and that the attorney-general acted improperly in shopping for a different opinion.
Judge Stromberg-Stein agreed.
"The role assigned to a special prosecutor is not simply advisory, or to make recommendations," she states. "Mr. Peck's decision, within the scope of his mandate, was final. … the attorney-general had no jurisdiction … to appoint Mr. Robertson."
The present Attorney-General, Mike de Jong, said the ruling - on a narrow point of law - will make it difficult to fight polygamy in the courts.
"The attorney of the day, Mr. Oppal, was confronted by an important and difficult decision, and that was to try to get a matter that has lingered for some time before the courts," he said. "It's not the result we were hoping for or looking for. It's obviously an impediment to advancing this prosecution."
Mr. Oppal, who was defeated in the past election, was disappointed by the ruling.
"The decision not to follow the advice of the two independent prosecutors was not made lightly; we thought seriously about that," he said.
And Mr. Oppal said he disagrees with the judge's view that an attorney-general is bound by the opinion of a prosecutor.Report Typo/Error

Chasing Nature
Nobody enjoys the fact that it's dark by 5pm. At the same time, it's nice to take solace in the hot baths, the mulled wine, and the (usually) metaphorical hearth that you return home to during Winter. The season is a contradiction. Although bitterly cold to the point of unpleasant, its changes in light and in atmosphere are strangely invigorating. Today, I went happily outside wearing multiple layers to see what I could find in the park, idly supposing that there would be nothing interesting enough to warrant photography. As soon as I stepped through the gate I was faced with an amazingly sweet little squirrel, calmly gnawing its way through a decent-sized nut at the bottom of a beech tree. Fantastic!
As soon as I reached into my bag he turned, horrified, and tore up said tree at the speed of light. I danced around underneath, trigger finger poised, catching sight of him fleetingly in first one branch then another. A worthy adversary, he spotted me always at roughly the same moment, eventually melting away like a phantom. I scrolled through numerous blurry shots and – even worse! – shots of nothing but leaves. Yes, he was there in a couple. But nothing resembled a close-up. I looked back as I left. There he sat, high up in his beech, with a look at once cold and triumphant. You'll have to get up earlier in the day, sunshine.
So dies the dream of Winter Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Maybe I should stick to things that are easier to capture?
Gateway to Pleasure
For people in Glasgow, it's a long-standing tradition to head across the Clyde from Gourock, landing at the Cowal Peninsula's popular seaside resort and self-styled "centre for pleasure", Dunoon. Nowadays (in contrast with previous generations of tourists) you are more likely to make the journey by car ferry than by paddle steamer; although the latter is – believe it or not – still something of an option thanks to the celebrated PS Waverley. Anyway, for someone more used to sleek international airports, there's a sense of old-fashioned fun in making the twenty-minute trip from McInroy's Point to Hunters Quay. December is probably the "wrong" time of year in terms of desirability: which means that the other visitors you encounter across the water seem to form a strangely exclusive little club. Luckily, it's one which you're welcome to join at the nearest Inn after a cold day's exploring. 🙂
The truth is, even if you love fish, chips, and new woolly cardigans, there isn't really much to capture your imagination in Dunoon. Its heyday as a resort complex, which began in the Victorian era, was pretty much over by 1970. It remains a nice little place for lunch, some cold, fresh sea air and…crucially…for planning your exploration of the wider area: aka Scotland's "tourist honeypot". Or part of it, anyway. The Northern half of the Cowal Peninsula includes breathtaking forests, lochs and hills; many of which are now contained within Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Formed in 2002, the park's creation has, naturally enough, not been without political and administrative controversies. This is Scotland after all. But focus (like we did) on the Red Squirrels; the ferns; the ruined castles; and the long, proud line of Giant Redwood Trees at Benmore Botanic Gardens; parliamentary squabbles won't cross your mind for a second.
Removed from those, and from heavy Christmas commercialism, this time of year at Cowal can be measured by the amount of snow resting on Beinn Mhòr (small by Scottish standards at 741m, but still the highest in its area); or by the colours in the woods, which you can walk through easily to look down upon boats, buoys, birds, and the watersports fans scattered around the Lochs. Somehow or other, it seems that both the Romantic Poets and the Scottish Tourist Board have captured something important about the place when they try to convey it to others.
Of course, nowhere this beautiful avoids the glare and the sparkle of the media for long. In some cases (Dunoon is a case in point) those very lights have helped define and sustain the place for generations. Argyll and Bute are popular destinations for television, film, and advertising location scouts worldwide. It's almost a government strategy to make it so. As well as the more predictable revenue to be made from wood-pulping, tourism, and deer-stalking, filming and photography are important sources of income for this area. Similarly, nowhere is exempt from rising oil prices or from the economic downturn. Hence, the operators of the Waverley paddle steamer (mentioned above) are hoping its role in the new Sherlock Holmes movie – spot it in the trailer here – will help draw attention to its uncertain future. Hopefully they'll raise the funds to keep bringing people over the water after 2012…

Why My Tinder Game Is the Best
I will run with the theory that the grand majority of things that we bring into our lives stem from an initial visual stimulation. Food, brands, friends, intimate relationships and the material things we buy. This isn't the end all be all, sometimes we let less-than-eye-candy-worthy things creep in, but if we're all being honest, we can admit that initial visual connection plays a part in what we connect with everyday.
Being single, in my 30's and surrounded by a good number of people walking the same walk, dating (or the lack thereof) is always a topic of interest and conversation. Dates and their epic failures, who's getting married, who you did(n't) go home with last night, why dating in (fill in your city here) is THE WORST.
For me, dating is like jagerbombs: something to be avoided like the plague.
I have never been good at or interested in the rules of dating. It gives me quite a bit of anxiety; 10 out of 10 times I'd rather chew glass than follow steps of a first date. Typically I bypass first-date awkwardness, courtship and contemplation of what every engagement means and dive right into relationships, just feeling it in my gut and going with it.
Around this time last year, I took a trip to California with a girlfriend where I found myself bored, newly single and longing to connect with locals who could give the download on what to do with an extra bonus if they wanted to explore with me. This is how I first began breaking all the rules of online dating and abusing Tinder to my advantage with no remorse.
Still heartbroken and fragile from what's-his-name that I ended things with too soon back, I just wanted to engage in this cutthroat world of 2015 where connections start digitally, with humans who are more than just a shirtless gym selfie that would agree to (although we met on a dating app) commit to a "non-date," because I don't date.
Personally, I see dating apps as a viable social media platform through which you might be able to link with people who are in search of connection as well (hence why people use Tinder) with the bonus of narrowing your match down by interests and visual, because honestly, we all want to be in company of attractive people. If you say you don't, you're only lying to yourself.
This has been a bit of work with many unsure of my "hey do you want to be activities buddies" approach; responding with a "This is Tinder" "Good luck with that" "You're not on Tinder looking for a booty call?" or "You're in for a rude awakening."
But through matches and fails, I've found consistency and honesty has led me to find just what I was looking for: mates to explore areas and activities without the expectation of exchanging bodily fluids to seal the deal.
I'd be a liar if I said I haven't had a match here or there that was equally as good with a board as he was with his lips, but that goes back to my heart over head reaction to attraction.
With friends in serious careers or relationships, I've committed to meeting new people who are free to do what I want without scheduling and traveling solo, which has lead me to free diving in open waters, hiking new trails, camping in the wild, whitewater rafting murky rivers, surfing California waves, and sharing tasty treats and conversation with strangers in cities across America.
I've become a counselor, best friend, tour guide, job connector, photographer and potential match for a best friend, all to guys I met on Tinder.
Out of my 120+ matches that I've made over the past year, I've met up with a handful. Some of these, I've met and hung out with only once. With others, I've made good friends who check in with me to see where I am and what I am doing, share advice, and lend a ear when they need someone to listen, and with whom I encourage and challenge their daily life choices and in a few cases, take trips or explore new hobbies.
Tinder has taught me that what people are really seeking is connection.
My persistence to stay true to my dating methods has lead to pushing outside of a black-and-white comfort zone that put things into boxes previously defined, only utilizing resources for their literal purpose.
The take away of this is, if you let down your expectations and expand the walls of the boxes you've built, you can be visually attracted to someone without the need to pursue the basics of dating, which creates more fulfilling connections, based off of something other than just sex.

Southern Caribbean in December
Last December we embarked on a cruise in the Southern Caribbean. The colors of the islands and the color of the water is what makes the long flight worthwhile. We took 10 days, 7 aboard the Windstar. It was during the rainy season but there was still a lot of sun and the clouds provided for a more interesting sky. Barbados was where we caught the ship and we traveled to St. Lucia, Grenada, Tabago and the small island of Bequia. Color is what makes the photography so much fun in the Caribbean. I can't wait to get back there. Have a look at more images in my Southern Caribbean Gallery.
I hope all is well,

This hotel and casino has eleven restaurants with items ranging from pizza to burgers to hot dogs. This restaurant strip is designed to give you a Greenwich Village sidewalk dining feel. This one might be torture, though, when you find yourself ordering a single slice of pizza because you blew your money on slots. For $3.95 you can get six garlic knots at the New York Pizzeria or $4 chili cheese fries at America Restaurant. Entrees at most of the restaurants are $9 and up, and maybe you have enough for a $10 burger at Broadway Burger Bar. None of them are really cheap, but you'll find something. The casino is located at 3790 Las Vegas Boulevard South, so you can walk there straight from the strip. The general info line is (800) 689-1797.
Sourdough Cafe. Do yourself a favor and get off the strip. Just off the Boulder Highway is an affordable diner where you can eat steak and eggs and a variety of other breakfast entrees, even omelets, for less than $4 plus tip. You can also find burgers and many more items, but stick with the cheap stuff. Some people even say that this greasy spoon has better food than Denny's. It's certainly cheaper. Before you're tempted to spend a fortune, hurry down to 4575 Boulder Highway or call (702) 951-5800 for more info.

With the numerous points we have to choose from for our steroid injections most will find the glutes and lateral (side) deltoid head to be the most comfortable and convenient points of administration. Injection sites such as calves and traps are highly warned against; although in terms of adequate injection sites they are fine, they can produce a fair amount of pain in the individual. No matter where you choose to inject always practice sanitary methods; do not reuse needles or syringes, clean the area thoroughly before injection and always sterilize with alcohol beforehand.
The 'Two-Pin' technique increases sanitation for multiple dose vial users. They draw with the first pin, and then shoot/inject into the body with a new one. This procedure prevents any residual contaminants that may have remained on the drawing pin from being transferred into the body via the injection site. It also makes injection less painful since the drawing needle is necessarily dulled during passage through the rubber stopper atop the vial. A dulled needle increases injection pain because it doesn't pierce the body as cleanly as an unused one. The protocol below is followed by AAS users who draw from multiple dose vials, but steps 4 - 8 are routinely disregarded by those users who draw from ampoules (also called ampules) and sachets.

Are You Sleep-deprived?
Posted by Dior Co on Thursday, October 14, 2010 Under: News
Our bodies give us plenty of signals when we're tired. But some of us, including I, are so used to being sleep deprived that we remain oblivious to how impaired we really are. Sleep debt isn't something you can pay off in a weekend; it can take weeks of building up restorative sleep habits. Read on the five signs below and see if your lack of zzzs is hurting your health.
1. Simple decisions become hard to make
You're up late one night booking your next vacation, and even though you know the dates and destination, you're overwhelmed by minor details. Should you get a refundable ticket? Window or aisle seat? Rent a car now or later? When you're tired, you're less able to distinguish between important and irrelevant information, such as your seat assignment, according to Sean Drummond, PhD, a sleep researcher at the University of San Diego. The result: Even the simplest decision takes on exaggerated importance. Tired people also take riskier gambles to maximize results ("Maybe if I wait until the last minute, the ticket price will go down") and have trouble adjusting to changing circumstances (like firming up an itinerary if flying from an unfamiliar airport).
2. You're still hungry—after eating all day
Shortchanging your nightly sleep can make your waistline suffer. Studies show that chronic sleep loss can disrupt blood sugar levels and cause the body to produce less leptin, a hormone that curbs appetite, and more ghrelin, leptin's hunger-stimulating counterpart. Because of these physiological changes, you may be more likely to overeat when you skimp on sleep—and the food you pick probably won't be either nutritious or a lasting source of energy. Tired people tend to be particularly drawn to sugars and other simple carbohydrates, probably because the body is looking for a quick pick-me-up, says Lisa Shives, MD, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Sleep deprivation also tends to erode self-control, making you more likely to choose a brownie over carrot sticks.
3. You keep coming down with colds
Inadequate sleep can leave you more vulnerable to infection than those who are well rested. In one study, researchers injected healthy volunteers with a cold virus. Those who slept less than 7 hours a night for the previous week were 3 times more likely to develop symptoms than those who got 8 hours or more. In another study, people who got only 4 hours of sleep for several nights in a row had a weaker immune response to the flu vaccine than those who slept between 7.5 and 8.5 hours
4. Weird things make you cry
Do those ballads on American Idol move you to tears? Don't automatically chalk up your sudden weepiness to PMS: Without sleep, you are more emotionally volatile. In one brain-imaging study, for example, people who missed a night of sleep and viewed disturbing images had 60% more activity in the amygdala, which is involved in processing fear and anxiety compared with better-rested volunteers. The study also found that the sleepy volunteers' amygdalae communicated less with the part of the brain that determines appropriate emotional responses, suggesting that they weren't doing a good job of tempering their emotions. When we're sleep deprived, we may also feel gloomy because tired brains store negative memories more effectively than positive or neutral ones. As a result of all this, Shives says, "if you are chronically sleep deprived, you could act like someone with depression."
5. You've become a klutz
One moment you're brewing a cup of afternoon tea and the next thing you know, you've spilled it all over your new dress.
Sound familiar? Researchers have accumulated ample evidence that the sleep deprived have slower and less precise motor skills, but exactly why isn't yet known, says Clete Kushida, MD, PhD, director of Stanford University Center for Human Sleep Research. Sleepy people may be clumsier for several reasons: Impaired reflexes and a lack of focus may make it hard for them to react quickly enough to things that spring up in their path. Another possibility: Sleepiness throws off balance or depth perception. In any case, it's not uncommon for very sleepy people to black out momentarily when the body's urge to sleep gets too strong. So it's possible that your klutziness stems from "microsleeps" that last for a second or two, Kushida says—just long enough to trip on the curb or drop a glass.
I don't know about you but I sure hell need to reset my body clock and stop skimping on my zzzs after I gathered info for this blog post. We all know how lack of sleep can be unhealthy, we just didn't know until now how disastrous it can go.

Looking to turn your passion for cars into a small but profitable business? Automobile care is already a large industry, and it is expected to grow further in the coming years. Of course that in itself is no guarantee of business success, and if you want to ensure that your business gets off on the right foot then you need to be proactive about it.
Plan the Business
Every business should start with a business plan, and automobile care as a new startup in Australia or anywhere else is no exception to that rule. Sit down and take the time to go through all basics, such as:
- What sort of services your business will provide
- Where you plan to locate it
- What upfront cost will be required as well as what sort of operating budget will be needed
- What sort of projected income you expect to make
- Any marketing and advertising that you plan to use to promote your business
Even that is really just a rough idea of what your business plan should consist of. Try going over business model plans (many of which are readily available online) to get an idea of what you should think about and include.
Find Ways to Improve Your Services
Once you have a plan – think about how you can improve the services that you're able to offer.
As you probably know, automobile care is a pretty diverse area that encompasses many different options, so one of the best places to start is by looking into the profitable areas that it encompasses and ensuring that you're providing those services at your own automotive start up. For example spare parts distribution, automobile re-spray services, mobile car wash and oil change, and other similar services are often in high demand.
Apart from that you could also improve your services by improving yourself. Start by looking into some of the training and certification programs that are available for the services you want to provide. Not only will this training help you to improve your ability to provide those services, but the accreditation that comes with it could be a great marketing tool.
Be Creative In Getting the Word Out
While your business may be great at providing automobile care services, all that isn't going to amount to much if people don't hear about it. That is where marketing and advertising comes into play. Even if you don't have a huge budget to spend promoting your business, there are tons of great ways to get the word out if you're a little bit creative. Perhaps you could try partnering with a company to service any business car they loan out to their employees. Be sure to take advantage of social media, as well as local advertising. Just be sure to remember the importance of social media security for your business when the time comes. Asking your customers to provide testimonials on social media or on your website can be a great way to provide proof that your services are as good they're advertised to be.
Other Automotive Business Ideas
If all of the above is turning you off from the idea of opening an automotive care business, why not consider another car related business idea? Here are some other top car businesses that you may want to consider to open a business in an area you are passionate about.
- Car services business
- Trucking business
- Food truck business
- Car wash business
- Mobile mechanic business
The five automotive businesses listed above are some easier alternatives to consider that may require less start-up funding and man hours. If you really want to open a business in the automotive industry, these ideas are sure to give you a nice return on investment.
The most important thing about running an auto industry business is to keep at it, and learn from the experience. If you can do that, your business should thrive and maybe even expand in the not so distant future.

Monday, October 28th, 2013 --
The Flyers are 3-7-0 in their first ten games of the 2013-14 campaign. At 6 points they are tied for second-to-last in the league. The only team with fewer goals scored thus far is the New York Rangers. And not surprisingly, the reason behind all of this has been our squad's inability to string together three straight periods of consistent hockey. One huge example is the game against the hated Pittsburgh Penguins in which the Flyers were outshot 17 to 5 in the 2nd stanza.
The offense has been all over the place, from flashes of brilliance to moments that made some of us consider thrusting sharp objects into our temporal lobes. Let's face it: there's only so many times I can shout "shoot the God damn puck you caveman-looking piss brick!" at my TV while watching Voracek turn the puck over in the offensive zone. The amount of cute plays our boys have tried instead of putting the puck on net has been frustrating.
While still having its flaws, the defense has surprised me thus far. One player who has stood out most to me is Erik Gustafsson. The kid just gets better every game. He looks more comfortable handling the puck in his own zone and setting up the breakout up the ice, and his cycling in the offensive zone has improved. In 5 games Gus has 1 goal and 2 assists.
Sure, there are still tiny mistakes being made, such as Coburn turning the puck over right in front of our net with some scrub named Sidney Crosby waiting to tap it home in a 2-1 game. And not to single Coburn out, but on top of that assist he DOES also have a goal against Mason too technically.
My main issue with Coburn, honestly, is that when he's good, he's good. It's not really super noticeable because he's not the breakout superstar defenseman that quarterbacks an offensive play. But he quietly does his job as a defensive defenseman and people underestimate him at times. It's also worth mentioning that he has 2 game-winning goals so far this season.
The problem is, he's most noticeable when he's NOT good: making errant passes that end in chances against us, failing to keep the puck in the offensive zone, etc. it's fair to say it isn't all on him with the rest of his team being inconsistent around him at times, but at 4.5 million per year through 2016, these are plays our longest tenured Flyer cannot be making.
I know, I know. None of this is really news, and it's all very negative. But let's take those same 10 games and slip on our optimism hats, because things could finally be looking up 1/8th of the way through the year.
The Flyers have won their last two games, both against division rivals. Say what you want about the Rangers having a rough season too, but you know as well as I do that any given night any team can begin to right the ship with an explosive game, and this goes double when facing a hated rival. We also know that as Philly sports fans, it usually happens more often than not against our teams: "So-and-so hasn't scored a goal in 104 games, but has a hat trick tonight against the Flyers!"
Now, the Rangers didn't have King Henrik in goal, but that doesn't mean the Flyers should have had an easy night offensively. Cam Talbot - starting in his 1st NHL game - came up big at times, robbing shots that could very well have lit the lamp. It wasn't a pretty game, and parts of it dragged a bit, but the team started looking more like a unit for a change rather than individuals who happen to be wearing the same color sweater. Vinny was put on the 1st line after coming back from an injury that sidelined him for a few games, and I have to say he looked pretty good with Giroux and Raffl. While they failed to score more than 2 goals once again, they got the win and we all sighed with relief as the final seconds ticked down.
The Islanders (4-3-3 before Saturday's game) looked to be a much tougher opponent. Their offense has put up twice the goals that the Rangers' has, but we have a not-so-secret weapon, and his name is Stone Cold Steve Mason.
Mason made 26 saves on 28 shots to solidify the Flyers win over another division rival, putting him at a .930 SV% and 2.15 GAA for the season with a 3-5-0 record. In my opinion, Mason has been the only consistently excellent player on the team. Going back to the Penguins game, the 2nd period could have easily ended 6-1 rather than 2-1. We finally have a goalie who can steal games for us.
But wait. Mason gave up TWO goals against the Islanders. How could we have won?
That's right, baby. The Flyers scored four goals on Poulin, with Matt Read adding an empty netter for the 5-2 win. And wouldn't you know it, the first line clicked. Vinny scored three goals to complete his first hat trick since 2008. Giroux assisted on two of those goals, and Raffl assisted on the other for his first NHL point. Voracek lit his first lamp of the season in a brilliant flash, and eleven different Flyers made the score sheet.
Does this mean we are finally where we want to be? It's smooth sailing from here? Far from it. But as fans we can finally be (cautiously) optimistic about our offensive production. If the Flyers stick to their guns and continue on the path that led them to Saturday's victory, they could turn their season around. Tuesday night is Teemu Selanne's last game in Philadelphia as the Ducks (9-3) fly in to the Well hoping to continue their winning ways. What better way to test the resolve and fortitude of our boys in Orange and Black? Tuesday's tilt is going to be huge. Here's to cautious optimism.
