Outward bound
I'm going away again, and soon. On June 21st I fly off to Turkey to board a Gulet (a traditional sailing ship) and spend a week doing nothing in particular, except eat, drink, swim, and relax. I'm going alone; however, I will be joined by 10 other holidaymakers, all of whom are in the same boat (no pun intended) as solo travellers. I have no idea as to their age or gender, but frankly I don't care.

I woke up to a beautiful morning today and decided to spend some "me" time before doing some serious work. It's gonna be a beautiful day !
Armed with my planner and a novel ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower ) , i headed to McDonald's . I love McDonald's in the mornings, it's more peaceful and not too crowded than any other time of the day.
I saw this on their paper mat and thought… How appropriate … And encouraging. How positive!
What i did at this wonderful start of a new day? Thank God, of course, checked my planner, read a little, had my coffee and filling breakfast, people-watched a little ( i saw this old man reading a novel by John Grisham… How cool is that? )… I checked my watch and found out that i'll be late , hahaha, so much for enjoying oneself and time to work on my papers… Yes i decided to work from home. Seriously and honest-to-goodness work from home to get some reports done.
And so, i bid everybody, like McDonald's, HOORAY FOR TODAY !

Hello everyone! Long time, no see! I have come back after a couple of months without any updates to share the best news of all: our beloved Mrs. Danes has
finally joined Instagram! I can't even believe this. And I really don't want to be dramatic (I'm holding back a scream), but this is our moment, guys!! Go leave her all the sweet messages you've wanted to for all these years, cry about "Romeo + Juliet" and "Little Women", yell desperately about "Homeland", etc etc. Just please be respectful. Anyway, without further ado, Claire Danes' official, verified account on Instagram is @clairedanes!
Flawless choice of first pic, too. ❤

As this week brings us the beginning of the 2009-10 NBA season, I thought it would be appropriate to explore a few NBA themes to get the week going. I'm a huge fan of the NBA, have been for a long time, so this is a great week for me.
In the 1980's, the NBA ruled the world and the shoes that were worn on the courts around the league were some of the most sought after items of the decade. We all know the story of the Air Jordan and its impact on the sports products business. We also remember the Converse Weapon, the Pony City Wing and the I've even written about the old Ralph Sampson Pumas. All of those shoes had their time in the spotlight in the 1980's and 1990's.
Today we take a look at one of the more obscure player endorsed shoes from that time period. LA Gear was a shoe company that was best known for its street style and its fitness image more than it was for its presence on the NBA basketball court. This ad from 1990 features Akeem Olajuwan (yes, pre-Hakeem Akeem) and his signature LA Gear basketball shoes.
The ad lacks the sophistication and story line that was so common in the other shoe ads at the time. The image features "The Dream" in an LA Gear themed practice uniform and a fire burning in the background with the theme of "Unstoppable" The shoes feature some familiar design cues that can also be found on the other shoes we mentioned earlier from the time period.
This Olajuwan LA Gear shoe will not go down in history alongside some of those other classics, but this old school ad provides a great look back at a time when the basketball shoe ruled the world.

ANNAPOLIS -- A 35-foot whale feasted on fish and Chesapeake Bay hospitality yesterday as it cruised the waters near the Bay Bridge.
Watermen and pleasure boaters gathered and watched until dark as the jet black whale swam in waters ranging from 40 to 60 feet deep near the bridge.
The mammal apparently was first spotted about 10 a.m. near the mouth of the Potomac River, but wasn't reported until three hours later when it was sighted by the crew of the Widener, a state Department of Natural Resources buoy tender, according to Robert Gould, a department spokesman.


text: One of two IS-ZW-TSTAT-300 thermostats connected to my Simon XT1 began reporting a malfunction message, which appears to come randomly but when it does it is always at the same time in the evening. It subsequently reports an end of malfunction, but that can take minutes or hours. Any insights on what might be happening and how to remedy it? The thermostat controls a heat pump.

- Excel Book Excerpt
Excel Convert a Table of Numbers to a Visualization
This page is an advertiser-supported excerpt of the book, Learn Excel 2007-2010 from MrExcel - 512 Excel Mysteries Solved. If you like this topic, please consider buying the entire e-book.
Convert a Table of Numbers
to a Visualization
Problem: My manager's eyes glaze over when he sees a table of numbers. Is there anything I can do to help him spot trends in the data?
Figure 1103 Help your manager to understand this data.
Strategy: You can use one of the three new data visualization tools on the Conditional Formatting menu: data bars, color scales, and icon sets.
Adding a data bar to a range adds an in-cell bar chart to each cell. You can see which cells have the largest values by seeing which cells have the most color.
To add data bars, you select a range of numbers and then select Home, Conditional Formatting, Data Bars, choose a color. Excel 2007 offered six built-in colors. Excel 2010 offers six gradients and six solid. You can choose More Rules to add any of 16 million colors.
Figure 1104 Choose a color for the data bars.
Below, you can see that Wednesday is the busiest day. Calls fall of on Friday for everyone except Missy. Missy is consistently the strongest performer.
Figure 1105 Easily spot trends in the data.
Gotcha: You should not include any total cells in your selection when applying conditional formatting. The relative size of the totals would make all the detail numbers receive small bars. Below, the 904 in cell G6 makes all the cells in B2:F5 look relatively the same.
Figure 1106 Don't include totals in a visualization.
Additional Details: You can use color scales to apply a mix of colors to a range. Excel offers built-in three-color scales such as red-yellow-green as well as two-color scales. The two-color scales look better than three-color scales when printed in monochrome. You can also use More Rules to design your own color scheme. Below, the largest numbers are in the darker green, and the smallest numbers are in the lighter yellow.
Figure 1107 Each cell is lighter or darker based on size.
The final new visualization is icon sets.
In Excel 2010, there are 20 sets of icons. Some have three symbols, others have four, and some have five. The items in a red box in this figure are new in Excel 2010 and will not render when opened in Excel 2007.
Figure 1108 Twenty icon sets are available.
Note that for many of these sets you need to print in color in order for the reader to differentiate the symbols. If you are printing in monochrome, the arrows or power bars are good choices.
After you choose an icon set, Microsoft will display the icon at the left of each cell. Since numbers are usually right-aligned, the number from B2 and the icon from C2 are too close together and many will think that they go together.
I've begun using Ctrl+1 to visit the Format Cells dialog. On the Alignment tab, use a horizontal alignment of Right (Indent). You can then increase the indent to 2 or 3 to move the numbers closer to their icons.
Figure 1109 Indent numbers to move them closer to the icons.
The icons won't respond to the horizontal alignment of the cell, unless you use Home, Conditional Formatting, Manage Rules, Edit Rule, Show Icon Only. Ironically, when you use this setting, the icon responds to the Left, Center, and Right Align buttons in the Home ribbon!

Mel Baker
I first received my motorcycle license at age 16 (50 years ago when JC was still on P-plates) in Leeds U.K.
I started Ride-Tek MTA about 17 years ago after spending some time working as a motorcycle instructor for Transport Driver Training in Dandenong.
My Favourite Bikes
For a while there I raced 125GP bikes with Hartwell Motorcycle Club for several seasons which was a lot of fun. Over the course of my life riding bikes, I have owned many motorcycles (probably too many according to "the boss")! My standout favourites have always been any bike with a Ducati badge and am currently riding Ducati Panigale.
The work horse is my Suzuki GSXR 600 which capably deals with the daily commuter traffic to and from Ride-Tek.
My Favourite Track
By far my favourite riding experience is whenever I ride at the track, any track, but my favourite is Mac Park in Mt. Gambier, followed closely by Broadford Raceway. Race days and ride days are always a lot of fun and the track is also a very safe environment to develop bike skills without having to worry about four-wheeled traffic.
Why I Started Ride-Tek MTA
My driving passion for starting Ride-Tek MTA was to establish a training business which would become the "One-Stop-Shop" in Motorcycle Training. Over that 17 years of successful operation, I believe we have achieved that, as we now offer a very comprehensive diverse list of courses to suit every level of riding skill.
That list is unmatched within the Motorcycle Training industry.
Ride-Tek Is Proud Of Their Experienced Professional Trainers
At Ride-Tek we are a team of experienced professional riders and we are dedicated to helping other riders develop their handling and cognitive skills to become the safest road-riders they can possibly be. As long as we choose to ride motorcycles, we are always developing skills and this, in turn, enhances our riding enjoyment. We look forward to seeing you at Ride-Tek and remember "Your Safety Is Our Business"
Mels's FAQ in a Nutshell
Q. What Bike Do You Currently Ride?
A. 2011 Suzuki GSXR 600 & 2003 Ducati 999
Q. What's Your Dream Bike And Why?
A. I already own it (Ducati). Quite simply its the most awesome Italian superbike ever made
Q. Favourite Riding Experience Or Most Favourite Ride?
A. Every time I ride at the track it becomes the best riding experience. Best road ride was from Melbourne to Bairnsdale and then over Mt Hotham to Myrtleford (this ride was designed for riders)
Q. Favourite Course To Instruct?
A. All of them except introductory course! (Thats how I got grey hair!)
Alistair Roberts – Al
I have ridden motorcycles for approx. 30 years and started out of necessity. My wife and I had just had a baby and we needed a second mode of transport. We couldn't afford the expense of purchasing and running a car so looked for a cheaper option. Something cheap to run, service and maintain.
Petrol cost 12 cents a litre, registration for a motorcycle was $170.00 and I could maintain a bike myself. So a motorbike it was. It was love at first sight.
Since then I have owned numerous motorcycles and ride predominately in busy conjested traffic. I have been a postie for 13 years and only worked part time, with another provider, on weekends, as a motorcycle instructor.
I Find Instructing Incredibly Rewarding And Fun
I found that helping other like minded people learn to ride motorcycles safely and ultimately achieve their Licence was extremely rewarding.
I have met people throughout my time as an instructor that have changed the way i live my life. I have now worked with Ridetek for 9 years and seen many changes in motorcycle safety and training. I hope to be able to help others with their riding for many years to come or until I can't throw my leg over a motorcycle any more.
My Bikes- Maggie And Doris
I currently have A Yamaha MT09 called Maggie and a Suzuki DR650 called Doris. The riding I most enjoy is adventure riding. I have had some amazing experiences in the outback and my dream is to ride the Simpson Desert before I get to Old. My favourite bike will be my next one….
We Care
People always ask me why we get such good feed back and what sets Ridetek apart from other providers. Its because we care, we really care about our riders. We not only have a duty of care to all the riders, but also their families and friends. We simply don't want to put anybody on the road who would be a risk to themselves or anyone else.
"As the youngest of 6 children and growing up on a farm, I was thrown into riding motorbikes from a young age. My very first road bike was a Yamaha RD350, and man, I thought that thing could fly, (back in the late 70's).
I've had the privilege of riding Triumphs, Hondas, Kawasakis, Suzukis and trikes of many different models, but, Harley Davidsons are my passion.
What I Enjoy About Being An Experienced Trainer With Ride-Tek
I live to ride, but I also ride to live, and I'm honoured that my dream job allows me to ride almost every day on my Suzuki Boulevard, which is a delight to ride.
Many people don't even like their job, let alone love their job, but riding is my passion and therefore I absolutely love what I do.
Watching people fulfil their dream of becoming a rider and being privileged to be part of that journey is simply amazing and very satisfying.
Safe riding practices are definitely uppermost in the skills which I try to pass on to my students, and witnessing their accomplishments on a daily basis, I believe makes my efforts very worthwhile."
My first bike was a Suzuki 100cc single cylinder way back in 1971 (a classic now!!) Riding for over 45 years I have had and progressed through many styles and sizes of bikes.
As a petite women I know some of the hurdles we small folk have to hurdle in order to ride, feel safe and confident on a motorcycle that may feel totally foreign to us.
My Current Rides
My current rides are an MV Augusta 920 Brutale and a KTM 390 Duke. I have always had a passion for motorcycling; which I get to share with like minded people wanting to start off and not knowing where to begin.
My Dream Job Is Being A Motorcycle Instructor
I have been working my dream job as a motorcycle instructor for almost 10 years now and I revel in it. I get to see a newbie start with their Learners Permit, see their progression of skills via Check Rides and then through to passing their License and beyond; what a joy.
One of the many benefits of this profession is that the more people we get on two wheels, the safer off we all will be, as you will be more motorcycle aware when driving your tin top (car)!!
Lance Deveson – Part time Instructor

- Got my license at 17yrs and 9mnths – long time ago.
- Grew up in Ballarat, my Dad was a motorcycle dealer for 50 years.
- Working life: 40 years as a Teacher but always had at least 1 bike in the Garage.
What Do I Ride Now?
- 2005 BMW K1200S – "The Gentleman's Express"
- 2003 Harley Davidson Electraglide & Sidecar " Dev"
- 1993 Honda VFR 750 – "Devo2"
- 1986 Honda XBR 500 – café racer
Favourite Motorcycle Experience or Ride
Many over many years of riding but two stand out .
- My wife and I have toured many kilometres on our Bikes but our Ride across USA in 2003 to attend the Harley 100th anniversary in Milwaukee is a highlight. We shipped our own bike over and did 20,000kms in 2 months – San Francisco to New York and back.
- The second is the first time my son and I rode to "The Island" for the MotoGP after he got his licence after many years of him coming down as a pillion. The 3rd generation of Deveson's on 2 wheels. Haven't missed a GP since it has been back in Australia.
Why Do I Work At Ridetek?
I am a Teacher by profession but a motorcyclist by Passion , and being brought up in a motorcycle family, Teaching people to ride is a passion. I love it. I like to think my passion for all things motorcycling comes out in my teaching. Ridetek is a very supportive workplace. Everyone involved are real motorcycle enthusiasts and we all love what we do.
Rodney Lloyd
My First Bike..
My Very First Motorbike was an XR 250, with rec reg. At 17 and 9 months, plus full reg for bike, a wobbly permit holder was born!
I clearly remember travelling on the Princes Hwy near Darnum in Gippsland, and wondering where should I place the bike in my lane…. Scary at the time, but the freedom of my own transport…….. priceless.
Learning to ride on the trail bike was fun; chasing my mates through the bush.
Road Bikes Changed My Thinking
As I progressed to road bikes, the requirement to be more precise and stay safe was obvious, but with no formal training, this actually took me years to get it right.
I sought out organised riding events that were not on public roads, and found the speed and thrills exhilarating. Getting back on the road after these fun days takes some adjustment, apply the skill but not the speed!
What I Know Now- I Wish I Had Known Back Then…
Now that I have been teaching other learners to get their permits and the licence courses have me reflecting on how my motorcycle journey may have differed considerably if Motorcycle Graduated Learning System was around in the 1980's.
Riding with the right attitude right from the beginning is a great start. Be patient and work to build your skill over time, and plan on riding when you are old and grumpy!
Rodney Lloyd.
Mark Smith – Website Manager
Background & How Long Have You Been Riding?
I started my affair with motorcycles at the age of 12. My first bike was a Honda Mini Trail. After that I rode various models of dirt bikes, mainly Hondas and a Bultaco Alpina till I could get my licence. As soon as I had my licence my preference was travelling long distance. Till this day nothing beats just heading off, particularly when I don't know where I am going to end up at the end of the day. I have explored a lot of Australia on 2 wheels.
All my road bikes have been twin cylinder machines. My first road bike was an XS650 followed by a Ducati Darmah. Then another Yamaha, then a long termer, a Guzzi Lemans, followed by a Harley XR1200. My present ride is a Harley Davidson Road King.
I manage the Ride-Tek website and assist in marketing of RideTek services. I will also be assisting in the advanced training. I am looking forward to sharing my experience and helping others in avoiding some of the mistakes I have made over my motorcycling life.
Q. What Bike Do You Currently Ride?
A. Harley Road King 110CI FLHR
Q. What's Your Dream Bike And Why?
A. Preferably one for every day of the week. A track bike, a Dual sport, a café racer, Another Moto Guzzi.& just a few others.
Q. Favourite Riding Experience or Most Favourite Ride?
A. My favourite roads are in anywhere in the Victorian High Country. I also enjoy attending the Classic Motorcycle Races at Philip Island.

Most Haunted is the popular ghost hunting and paranormal show on UK TV. Hosted by Yvette Fielding and her team of paranormal investigators, including her husband Karl Beattie, the first series of this program was screened on Saturday, May 25th, 2002.
Series 1 investigated seventeen haunted locations in the UK, including Chillingham Castle, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Michelham Priory and Derby Jail. Subsequent episodes have featured many more similarly haunted places, which have made compulsive viewing.
The usual format of the show is that the Most Haunted team travel around the UK and Ireland (and occasionally the United States, the latest visit being in October 2007 to Winchester Mystery House, San Jose, CA) investigating alleged paranormal 'hotspots' for 24 hours at a time.
Most Haunted generally features the main presenter (Yvette Fielding), a psychic medium and a parapsychologist. Essentially the latter two create an even balance between paranormal and scientific explanations for the various phenomena that occur. These are supported by some of the production crew, who appear in the show and generally have some interactivity with various parts of the investigation whilst performing their normal crew role. Most of these on-screen crew members also take part in séances, many of which have involved the use of the Ouija Board.
In addition to the normal weekly shows, there have also been quite a few Most Haunted Live shows. These are usually around three hours in length, and run for a total of three nights. After each of these live shows, viewers are given the opportunity to phone in to the show using call center software and comment on any paranormal activity they may have spotted on the various webcams the team have set up in each haunted location.
Most of the vigils featured in each episode involve the use of night vision cameras, giving each location a real spooky atmosphere. The photographic style of the series has changed considerably since series 1. In the first series, many elaborate shots were set up with an almost 'theatrical' style, with illuminated windows and dry ice. Locations were often illuminated outside at night time, with blue and green colours. From series 1 – 3 there was extensive use of the steadicam, which provided gliding shots during Yvette's ghostly tales or for general views. In series 8 the team introduced a camera crane or 'Jib' system for elaborate aerial shots of both Yvette and the locations. Most of the photography in Most Haunted focuses on 'general views' of a location and its surroundings. Most Haunted is filmed with both broadcast Sony DVcams and Sony PC120 miniDV cameras with night vision facility.
The show has also featured guest mediums. So far these have been Derek Acorah, Ian Lawman, Ian Shillito, Gordon Smith, Uri Geller and Kevin Wade. Some episodes have also included at least one celebrity. So far celebrities have included Vic Reeves, Nancy Sorrell, Gaby Roslin, Scott Mills, Mark Chapman, Simon Gregson, Sue Cleaver, Carol Thatcher, Paul O'Grady and Lee Ryan.
As Most Haunted has enjoyed an ever-increasing surge in popularity, there have been many DVDs released of each series, details of which can be found below this article. In addition to DVDs of the normal Most Haunted series, there have also been DVDs made of the Most Haunted Live shows.
In addition to the DVDs, there have also been a couple of books released relating to Most Haunted, namely Most Haunted and Ghost Hunters by Yvette Fielding and Ciaran O'Keefe.
The most recent live venture of Most Haunted was a seven-night investigation at an old abandoned mental asylm in Denbigh, North Wales. The Webmaster of the True Ghost Stories site makes a special appearance on the first night of this show. The DVD of this show will be available soon

Prayer Is Power
His Wonderful Works has a dedicated Prayer team that meets every month and we would love to pray for you. Click on the prayer request button below and we will include your prayer in our next meeting. Giving God all the glory he deserves.
The Lord is near to me and all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth. He will fulfill the desires of those who reverently and worshipfully fear him; He also will hear their cry and will save them. -Psalm 145:18-19
'Whenever God determines to do a great work, He first sets His people to pray.' C. H. Spurgeon
Since the beginning of time it has been our Heavenly Father's heart to restore mankind back into a loving relationship with Himself. God is at work drawing the hearts of this broken world to Himself and He has invited us, His children, to join Him in that work. We believe God has chosen to work through His people to reach this hurting world and at His Wonderful Works we consider that a great honor and privilege!
Oswald Chambers states, 'Prayer does not equip us for greater works – prayer is the greater work.' To kneel before Almighty God, seeking His face and hearing His heart for a lost world is what He has called us to do. To intercede, stand in the gap, and fight for the lost, broken, those in bondage and without hope… there is no greater calling. There is no greater work.
God's word clearly states that He hears the prayers of His people when we humbly draw near to Him and that 'the prayers of a righteous man are powerful and effective.' We can testify that we have watched Him work through our prayers in great and mighty ways. Hope has been restored, new life given, chains broken, and hearts have been set free. For this we give all glory to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

If you live in an apartment in Raleigh, NC you should know that more wintry weather is upon us. Temperatures are supposed to drop snow accumulation possible.
If you will be driving, make sure your vehicle is properly equipped, slow down, leave plenty of room between you and other vehicles, anticipate problems instead of reacting to them and learn to use your vehicle's controls.
Unless you have been trained in how to respond to a snow- or ice-induced skid, driving in the the snow can be very challenging and stressful. When you start to slide or skid, the reaction is for drivers to focus on their impending doom instead of taking proper evasive action. This will result in a crash.
Here are some tips to drivers in snowy winter conditions:
Be prepared: Before you set out in winter weather, make sure your vehicle is properly equipped. That means snow tires or chains in extreme conditions.
Slow down: Driving too fast is the No. 1 winter driving error. Read the road to choose the appropriate speed. Slippery roads make every mistake happen faster and more dramatically. And don't think antilock brakes, stability systems or other vehicle control mechanisms will help you if you're sliding.
Look ahead: Winter drivers need to use their eyes more effectively. Not only should you be aware of road ice and other slippery conditions, but you should also double the distance you normally allow between you and the car in front of you. Also, look ahead and get ready for corners and other obstacles before you arrive at them.
Brake before you enter a corner: Smoothly apply your brakes before you reach a corner and then release the brakes and use all the grip of the car to corner. Then, once you are through the turn, accelerate out.
Learn how to control a skid: If you find yourself in an oversteer situation (meaning: your car is turning too much) you have to go against your natural tendencies. Turn into the skid. You also need to accelerate. People don't think about accelerating to control the car. However, many oversteer skids can be controlled and a disaster averted simply by releasing the brake and gently accelerating. This transfers the weight from the front to the rear wheels, which allows you to steer into the direction of the skid, gain control of the vehicle and continue safely on your way.
Go slow in the snow. Or stay home and make hot chocolate.

Haven't had a noticeable one of these for a while, but my weight is definitely creeping up this week. Today's figure is 202.2 pounds ( 14 stone 6.2 pounds, 91.7kg). Well up on the minimum weight of a while back.
However, it would appear that most (if not all) of this gain is not resurgent flab but actual new muscle.
I did think this would start happening eventually….

Patrick Stump is best known for being the singer from Fall Out Boy who remained predominantly quiet at their live shows and letting his singing voice do the talking as bravado infused pete went talked the fans into a frenzy. As FOB have pretty much called it quits indefinitely we've seen Pete start a new project in the shape of Black Cards, stepping away from the pop punk foundations he'd laid down going for a more electro pop sound.
Patrick however has stuck with what he knows best and picked up an acoustic guitar and premiered some brand new songs for Rolling Stone from Soul Punk, his first album as a solo artist, along with a nice cover of Tom Waits' "Step Right Up". Check out "As Long As I Know I'm Getting Paid" at the top and the rest of the tracks after the jump along with an interview, which gives you a nice insight as to what expect.

Farro Burrito Bowls
This colorful grain bowl is a great make-ahead option for lunches or warm summer evenings. To cook the farro, simmer 1 cup uncooked unpearled farro in about 6 cups water for 25 minutes or until slightly chewy, and then drain, cool, and refrigerate. The bowls are delicious at room temperature, but you can also heat the beans with a splash of chicken stock and reheat the vegetables in a sauté pan with 1 or 2 teaspoons of oil. Cold eggs are best for soft-boiling so the yolk stays slightly runny after the whites are set. Add straight from the refrigerator once the water starts to boil.
How to Make It
Combine first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons cilantro mixture. Add farro to remaining cilantro mixture; toss to coat.
Divide farro mixture, chopped grilled vegetables, beans, cheese, and avocado among 4 shallow bowls. Drizzle with reserved 1 1/2 tablespoons cilantro mixture. Serve with lime wedges.

Do you want to dive into European scenery and expand your horizons of the world? Are you looking for a luxurious place to travel that offers wonderful scenery? Then, Porto in Portugal is the place to travel. There are many places with spectacular views in Porto, and if you're wondering what is the best way to get around, car rental in Porto is a prime option.
To see Porto in the best possible way, observation decks are the way to go. The first notable one to mention is the Clerigos Tower. It is a dominant landmark in the Porto landscape. The church is attractive and the view from the top of the tower is a generous reward to those who master the long and narrow climb. The entrance ticket is inexpensive, so it is worth enjoying an amazing panoramic view. Although the climb might be a bit of a walk, the views make it a worthwhile climb.
Porto is known for containing many glorious bridges. So evidently, another way to majestically view Porto is on the Ponte de Luis I Bridge. The bridge spans over the massive River Douro and is easily accessible for the pedestrians. The views from the bridge is among the most stunning in the world! Many tourists travel back to Porto just for this amazing view from this bridge. There's also a metro that runs on top of the bridge. It is truly a unique sight.
If you're looking for a fun way to see Porto, you should do it in the Funicular dos Guindais. The cable car is contemporary and clean; the views are very nice. A 200-year-old industrial funicular will take you across the river and you will be able to see the old town built on the valley side. Walk over the Iron Bridge to the south bank and come through the winding staircase. That is the old town. Overall, it is really picturesque and distinctive.
Last but not least, there is the Miradouro da Vitoria. This spot has a great view. It's basically an abandoned piece of private property where you can see the Douro River and the D. Luis Bridge. It's a great place to take pictures. This landmark has been described as a brilliant. You have the benefit of bringing your own drinks, food, and blanket and you can watch the sunset over Porto. Musicians are known to come down and play, locals chat away and couples enjoy the romantic atmosphere.
If you're looking to escape to a place that contains sights for sore eyes, Porto is the place to visit. It is known to be one of the hottest destinations in Portugal for its memorable significance. When it comes to Porto, there is a ton to boast about. The observation decks mentioned above are some of the top ways to view Porto, but they are not the only ones. There are many other observation decks in Porto, which showcases that there are no limitations when it comes to exploring Porto.

Things we learned at Krosstoberfest:
1. Just because you raced at a venue last year doesn't mean the course hasn't changed. Always do a pre-ride because trees can really sneak up on you.
2. While it is embarrassing, there is no shame in sprinting for 24th place.
If you look close, you can see we started sprinting from half a mile out.
3. Instructions exist for a reason.

16 talented and driven professionals from the Australian grape and wine community have been chosen to be the Future Leaders 2017.
Future Leaders is coordinated by Wine Australia in partnership with the Winemakers' Federation of Australia (WFA) and Australian Vignerons (formerly Wine Grape Growers Australia). The Future Leaders program is designed to develop participants' leadership capabilities and encourage innovation and thoughtful debate on the future of the sector.
The Future Leaders of 2017 are:
|Galvanized Wine Group (Penny's Hill)
|Treasury Wine Estates
|Gorton Drive Estates
|Sommelier/Wine Consultant
|Pepper Tree Wines
|Wine Advisor
|Hugh Hamilton Wines
|Pizzini Wines
|Winegrapes Australia
|Angove Family Winemakers
|Leask Agri
|Four Winds Vineyard
|Byrne Vineyards
|Simão & Co. Wines
|Australian Wine Research Institute
Richard Leask said on learning of his selection, "I'm excited and apprehensive; the alumni list is impressive and a little daunting! I suppose it feels like just before vintage, you have some idea what you're in for and that it will challenge you at times but you can't wait to get into it.
"I'm hoping to discover personal leadership strengths and weaknesses and the tools to improve on both. To open up a new network of people that will keep challenging each other and the wine industry to be the best it can be."
Sarah Collingwood agreed saying, "I'm looking forward to the Future Leaders program challenging me both professionally and personally. It's a great opportunity for me to look up from running my business to establish new connections in the industry and explore the future of business, marketing and governance."
Wine Australia CEO Andreas Clark said the calibre of applicants again reflected the impressive talent working in the Australian grape and wine sector. He hopes that the opportunity will bring together the emerging leaders and help establish long-term prosperity in the grape and wine sector.
"We want the best and brightest leading the Australian grape and wine community and it's vital we support them by investing in their professional development so they can confidently lead the sector in the years to come," said Clark.
Andrew Weeks and Tony Battaglene, the Chief Executive Officers from AV and WFA, said they were proud to once again support the Future Leaders program.
"The expression of interest from such a large and highly competent field of applicants suggest that the future of the grape and wine sector is in good hands," said Battaglene.
Future Leaders 17 program
In a dynamic and evolving sector, this year's program will explore new avenues in business, marketing and governance, and will also look at how global economics will shape the future.
Participants will look at new technology, how they can amplify the innovative thinking that already exists in our sector, and learn contemporary approaches to human development and commercial success.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. -Psalm 32:11
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. -Galatians 5:22-23
The joyful Christian homemaker needs the Lord as her first priority. Next, she needs to check her attitude. Does she have a meek attitude of servitude?
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. -Matthew 11:29
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. -Colossians 3:12-13
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. -Titus 3:2
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. -James 3:13
Meekness and Wisdom.
When the joyful Christian homemaker fulfills her God-given duties in the home, and with the proper attitude, she is looking well to the ways of her household. Her children call her blessed, and her husband praises her.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. -Proverbs 31:27-28
Her mouth obeys the law of kindness. She has godly wisdom. She serves with joy, and when she speaks, she is kind.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. -Proverbs 31:26
She doesn't nag or complain to her husband:
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. -Proverbs 21:19
A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. -Proverbs 27:15
She is a keeper of her home and submits to her husband:
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. -Titus 2:5
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. -1 Timothy 5:14
She trains, teaches, and keeps her children with her:
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. -Proverbs 29:15
She wears beautiful, flowing, modest clothes (like dresses):
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel [katastole], with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; -1 Timothy 2:9
Katastole - According to BlueLetterBible.com - "1) a lowering, letting down 2) a garment let down, dress, attire"
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. -Deuteronomy 22:5
She covers her head as a symbol of her submission to her husband and the Lord:
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. -1 Corinthians 11:3-6
She may or may not be beautiful, but she is wise:
As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. -Proverbs 11:22
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. -Proverbs 31:30
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. -Proverbs 9:10
She does not partake in gossip, tale bearing, slander, or other forms of frowardness of the tongue:
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD. -Leviticus 19:16
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. -Proverbs 26:20
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. -Proverbs 10:32
And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. -1 Timothy 5:13
The joyful Christian homemaker described in this article takes her job of taking care of her husband, children, and house very seriously, and does her best to bless them, as if she were doing her domestic duties for the Lord Himself.
She is not idle, for she knows that idle time leads to idol time. She instills this principle into her children as well.
She knows that nobody and no day is perfect. She greets each day as a brand new day, with brand new unknowns. She looks to the Lord as her source of peace, comfort, joy, and wisdom, and faces each day with a smile, knowing that her Redeemer liveth, and He careth for her.

as you can see below there's a height difference. this difference may or may not affect the performance of the brush in the way you apply your setting powder or mineral foundation
|Sigma Ms Taylor
|Sigma's overall product height are shorter than Charm's
|slightly taller overall product than the Ms Taylor
|same, when the bristles are bunched up together
|Density of bundle of bristles
|denser, more thickly packed (more hibla or bristles than Charm's)
|slightly less dense than the Ms Taylor
|Length of bristles
|slightly longer
|none, but a few bristles stick out
|none (never had any scent)
|i can still smell the glue used to bundle the bristles together, even after 2 washes, either that or that's the smell of the brush. so it smells like a new set of tires (yes i know what those smell like, been driving since i was 16 hahaha a long long time ago)
|just soft as charm's
|just as soft as the Miss Taylor
|very effective in applying mineral foundation, less buffing required due to its denser nature
|a little more buffing required when applying mineral foundation due to its less dense feel. BEAR IN MIND: the bristles here are longer so the bristles will spread out more so it seems that there's more space between each strand of the brush
|Ease of Cleaning
|the scabbard retractable thing keeps sliding up and down when i wash the brush (even while it was new) annoying but nothing i can't stand
|movement of the scabbard / retractable piece is more stable and less loose when using. so i don't have to keep the tips of my fingers firmly holding down the metal retractable thing to keep it in place while i'm using the brush
|slight give or yield (this is how the brush bends upon touching your fez) due to the nature of it's density, the give is just right for a pact application of mineral foundation
|more yield or give, from the longer brush. KEEP IN MIND: that because the strands in this brush is longer, there is more room to bend, similar to a group of bamboos the taller they are the more bend you can get out of them when the wind blows.
|US$25 without shipping but they do ship internationally (duh, clearly LMAO) around PhP1050 plus about US$5 SF at most 1200 all in all, i always use first class usps (the cheapest and it gets to the post office in manila in about 2wks)
|a whopping PhP600 LOL
|they ship world wide, accepts paypal and credit card payments. (btw you can register on paypal and connect it with your bank, easy)
|i walk a block (robinson's gale) cross ortigas ave and to eton cyberpod to get to Digital Traincase's physical store to get my charm fix! LOL
or i go to my fave malls, Shangri La and Trinoma to get to Crossings, The Ramp to find the pink stall! easy peazzeey
that's entirely up to the end user. some will like Charm's sleek and simple straight to the point but hell-yeah- it's-metallic-red- demmit-i-love-it's red!- kind of look over the more 'hollywood glamour' style of Ms Taylor. i like both depending on my mood.
i need both, so i have one in my kit will the other is drying after i wash it.
soooo whatchatink?

Atom City, Ukraine
I. Prypiat Funfair
The locked Ferris wheel arcs
against the horizon,
a honey fungus
flexing its golden gills.
from petrified cogs,
the cars seed
the ash trees below
with powdered rust.
Beeswax capsules
loft through dead air
like irradiated spores.
II. Worm Wood Forest
A plume of light
leached sphagnum moss
from the cold bark
of the nuclear forest.
The oak groves steamed;
the black alders flushed ginger.
Hornbeams grew gigantic,
roots and trunks coiling like double yolks.
Each thorny pine, each saxifrage
and small-flowered bitter,
was bulldozed and buried
in a vast fen grave.
The half-life soil
under its cargo
of nettled atoms;
a corncrake quarried
the fissured stream
for pike, its beak
a carpenter's rasp.
III. The Pier
Patched barges sluice sideways
into the phosphorescent river,
their bellies black bison,
scabbed with radiation.
The barge captains evacuated
long ago, pressure-dazed, slipping
through the alienation zone
like wild boar. What remains, now:
cucumber shoots drilling
the greenhouse glass, storks
nesting in the melted reactor,
the schoolhouse a wreck of scalded textbooks,
everywhere the quivering taste
of pins, as if a hedgehog quilled with aluminum
had invaded the dusty samovars
of each sealed concrete tenement.
The barges wait some final passage
like latten ferries embedded in the River Styx.

I'm always deeply amused when I hear certain politicians – like say, the president – intone that Israel has the right to defend itself.
It's the equivalent of when politicians – like, say, the president – avow, I take full responsibility for what happened.
Because the next sentence always provides a contradiction. How many times did we hear President Obama or former Secretary of State Clinton say they take responsibility for things that happen under their watch and then go right ahead and blame someone else?
So it is with Israel, which supposedly is out ally, the one Mideast nation whose back we always got, and whose right to defend herself we say we fully support.
Said Obama to assembled Muslims at last night's White House Iftar Dinner:
And I will say very clearly, no country can accept rocket fired indiscriminately at citizens. And so, we've been very clear that Israel has the right to defend itself against what I consider to be inexcusable attacks from Hamas.
So sayeth Obama! Then sayeth Obama:
I believe further escalation benefits no one, least of all the Israeli and the Palestinian people.
That is, Israel has the right to defend itself AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T DEFEND ITSELF.
If not through escalation – i.e. military action – how is Israel supposed to ward off attack? Just crouch in shelters and pray the Iron Dome takes care of the rockets being showered upon it? Like deer in the forest hoping the rain will end?
At the same time, on top of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza that we've worked long and hard to alleviate, the death and injury of Palestinian civilians is a tragedy, which is why we've emphasized the need to protect civilians, regardless of who they are or where they live.
Certainly the death and injury of Palestinian civilians is a tragedy. And such death and injury is occurring because that's where Hamas is hiding. Is not the warning to protect civilians, regardless of who they are or where they live little more than a demand for Israel to stand down?
Our goal has been and continues to be peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
Peace and security for Palestinians? Is Israel, unprovoked, attacking Palestinians? Endangering their security?
The biggest danger to Palestinians' security is the Hamas organization the Palestinians themselves voted for.
More broadly, however, the situation in Gaza reminds us again that the status quo is unsustainable and that the only path to true security is a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, where differences are resolved peacefully and in ways that respect the dignity of all people.
Israel is faced with a population of people, from the shopkeeper to the extremist firing missiles, who seek to plunge the Jews into the sea. Obama, when Israel is under attack, should be expressing more than caveated support. He should unequivocally make clear who the aggressor and provocateurs are, and who is the democratic ally of the United States.
Unless, of course, he's confused about that.
Speaking from the house floor Monday, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) wasn't the least bit confused. If only my fellow Jews who populate the Democratic Party had the same sense of clarity.

Rogers Police Department Decides Not To Press Charges In McDonalds Theft Case
ROGERS (KFSM) – The Rogers Police Department has decided ultimately not to pursue charges in a McDonalds theft case they asked for the public's help with on July 24, according to a post on their Facebook page.
After asking the public to identify the suspect in the theft case on their Facebook page, the suspect called police and was able to give them her side of the story, the post states.
After processing her information, the detective working the case decided there was no criminal intent and decided not to pursue any charges. Instead, the matter will be settled between the woman and McDonalds, according to the post.
The Rogers Police Department credited social media with the swift end to the case.
