See some of our favourites below:
Bellalicious. The brightest matte hot pink, slightly lighter than P.I.N.K and a touch more playful.
Luminous. A metallic reddish brown with a touch of copper and a subtle shimmer. Burgundy and brown tones combine for a statement shade ideal for the evening.
Catwalk. A dusky pigmented pink shade with a hint of rose that creates a blush pink colour for a flattering everyday tone.
Cherry Pop. A deep grape shade with a hint of chocolate brown. This tone is slightly browner and less purple than Burlesque, ideal for a dramatic dark lip.

|NITAAI-Veda.nyf > Compiled and Imp Scriptures > Hari Naam Chintamani > 10. Giving the Name to the Unfaithful
Chapter 10 - Giving the Name to the Unfaithful
gadai gauranga jaya jahnava-jivana
sitadvaita jaya shrivasadi bhakta-gana
Haridasa, with folded hands, spoke on the next aparadha:
"Because he has not developed any faith in Krishna or the name, the materialist cannot even hear the name. To take up the name, one must have qualification. That qualification is faith and faith alone. Good caste by birth, good family, knowledge, social influence or strength, and educational qualifications are not the cause for qualification to the holy name. The only qualification is faith, and faith means to have unflinching conviction in the glories and powers of the name. That is the statement of the scriptures.
"If one does not have faith, a real Vaishnava will not give him instruction on the name. That is the behavior of a Vaishnava, for if the faithless man takes the name, he will simply offend it. For instance, if one casts pearls to the swine, they will simply grind them to dust, or if one gives fine cloth to a monkey, he will tear it to pieces. If the faithless take the name they will kill themselves from their offenses and, simultaneously, he who gives the name to the faithless will lose all his devotional credits very quickly.
"Sometimes a faithless man, being envious, will beg the name from the Vaishnavas, but the Vaishnava should understand that he is a cheater and refuse to give him the name. To take faith in the name one must give up the cheating mentality and the desire for position and fame. The cheater is thinking: 'By taking the name I no longer have to fear committing sinful activities; by becoming a Vaishnava everyone will pay dandavats to me and I can get all sorts of service from others; whatever position I lost by my previous activities, I can retrieve by chanting japa; by this process I can become very happy in this world.' This is the cheater's mentality. For qualification to the name one must give up this attitude.
"When one has come to have faith in the name, without effort he will receive the name, and by the name's influence he will cross the ocean of material existence. But as long as one does not have faith, one has no qualification or capability. One should give up desire for position in the material world and become humble, listening to the glories of the name from scripture and Vaishnavas.
"If the guru gives the name to a faithless man because of desire for wealth or material possessions, by that offense to the name the guru will go to hell. If by misfortune or accident a guru gives the name and instructions to a faithless person, he should have great fear. He should confess in front of a Vaishnava assembly and give up that disciple. If the guru does not do this, by that offense he himself will become devoid of bhakti and will wander in illusion. Lord Chaitanya gave the order to give instruction in the name everywhere, but that means to give it to the faithful men, and by that, perfection will be reached. One can produce faith by loud sankirtana, and when the jiva attains faith, he will seek out a bona fide guru. From the guru, the faithful man will take the holy name and then easily achieve prema. When thieves, prostitutes and rogues are made to give up their sinful mentality, one can give them instructions on the holy name. In this way, the name can be spread everywhere.
"If one does not take these precautions, being guilty of aparadha, one will go to hell. If the disciple commits offense, the guru has to suffer in his devotional progress. In this circumstance both the guru and the disciple go to hell."
"O Lord Chaitanya, being so merciful, You first gave faith to Jagai and Madhai, then You gave them the name. So wonderful was Your personality that You created faith in all men. The Vaishnava should try to follow in Your footsteps."
Whoever takes pleasure in devotion to the feet of devotees will be decorated with this touchstone jewel of the holy name.

Ralph's paintings have been described
as having a feeling
of serenity, which reflects his love of natural environment.
After spending
many years as a graphic designer Ralph decided
to pursue his real love, painting the countryside and its wildlife.
Painting became a full-time occupation in the early 70's when
he moved to the English Lake District. Ralph lived there for
many years and it has a special place in his heart, with its
lakes, beautiful villages and mountains which evoke a feeling
peace. Ralph's wildlife paintings led to International recognition
and this included articles in leading magazines, a feature on
BBC Television in England and One Man and Group Art Shows in
England, West Germany and the USA.
In the late 1980's
Ralph became inspired by the California Landscape and its beautiful
light. He changed his focus from the very intimate environment
of his Wildlife Paintings to a much broader vista encompassing
the whole landscape.
The late afternoon
and early morning sunlight have a special quality which Ralph
loves to capture on canvas. He spends as much time painting "en
plein-air" as possible, but works on his larger canvases
in his studio.
In the early 90's Ralph was asked by the British Consul in Los
Angeles to present Margaret Thatcher with one of his paintings
as a memory of her visit to California.
Ralph's has exhibited
in the national Oil Painters of America Exhibitions and one of
his paintings was in an exhibition at the State Capitol Building.
He was recently commissioned to paint several large murals, which
will be prominently be placed in the main branches and corporate
offices of Santa Barbara Bank and Trust. In 2007, Ralph was also
commissioned to paint and design Santa Barbara's historic Old
Spanish Day's Fiesta Poster, which has been a tradition and cultural
celebration in Santa Barbara for over 75 years.
He has had articles
in leading magazines won awards at various Art shows, acted as
a judge for Museums Art shows. His work is in many private collections
throughout the world.
Ralph is a founder member of the Santa Barbara Art Dealers Association
and he is currently Chairman of the California Art Club, Central
Coast Chapter.

Where do you experience God?
For the longest time I would have answered that question the "right" way — in worship, in prayer, at church, serving others, doing what is right, and every once in a while in nature. I guess I had this idea that I had to be doing "God-stuff" in order to experience God. I'm sure that is somehow tied back into some Greek dualism idea, but I that gets too complicated really fast for me and makes my head hurt (like it did when I watched that Cloverfield movie). Personally, I think that most of us have been taught (by those that said they knew) that God is experienced in moments that are somehow special…holy in some way. And that holiness comes from a specific focus on doing God-stuff in God-ways so that we can feel better about ourselves.
Think about it.
We leave a "worship service" commenting on whether or not we felt "moved" or whether we were "in the Spirit." We go on "mission trips" and come back saying how much we were "changed" because of the experience. We tend to schedule in God-feeling stuff so that we can somehow "charge our batteries" for our experience in the rest of life.
I sometimes wonder if God looks at us during those "God-times" and says to himself, "I wish they would cut through all of that BS and really get to know me." (That sounds horrible but I think that out of all of the Beings in this existence that God should be allowed to call BS…BS!)
I'm reading a book right now that asked a question that has been rattling around in my spirit today. When you talk to God, where does the communication take place? Where do you focus? Where does the voice come from? Instinctually almost, I think that a majority of people (regardless of religious stripe) would say "up" and look to the sky. There is something other about God that makes him above our experience. But when I see God portrayed, particularly in the pages of the New Testament, he is sitting across the table from a friend or he is some kind of force that flows naturally from one person to another.
So when I experience that which is good or that which would radiate love then I'm actually experiencing God. A hug from my kids. A kiss on the cheek and a pat on the rear end from my wife. A good meal with old friends and new ones. A student playing the piano during chapel showcasing a talent that I never knew she had. Any experience of the goodness in THIS life is an experience of God. A reflection of being made in His image.
When I see my day that way…when I seem my life that way, I begin to understand the idea of "prayer without ceasing" that I used to feel really guilty about. I experience all of life as grace even though it doesn't always cross my mind that way (like this morning when that lady cut me off on the way to school). It is then that I understand what Paul was talking about when he said, "in him we live, and move, and have being."
So I don't go to church any more…it comes to me — all of the time.

There's a post here and there, but I check in every few days and see less activity. Spammers are getting more numerous and making lots more posts, that I have to delete the posts and permaban them. The site is still usable and can do pbps and the individual forums for groups you make, and blogs and such are still available, but I know with chat down, almost all the chat people have left (I know some went to another similar site), and I'm not sure exactly how much activity is around otherwise, compared to what it was. Seems like more people did play by post but I don't know why that dried up.

So is there a chatroom others use, more importantly am I welcome? LOL.
Great image! I love it!
I jump on here every day or so, but have been less active posting than I was when the site was busier. I tend to be more of a lurker than a poster, but if I have something positive to add, then I post, otherwise, I just read. I find it sad that the site has lost the activity that it had before, but I guess I'm as guilty as others since I don't seem to be that active.
A few of us are still lurking around, but not much going on these days. Like the other that have replied, I check in every so many days to see what may have been posted.
"You go 50 feet and come to a Y."
Someone started a chatzy one like the evil outcast Morashitar did, but it was a teensy bit more well received, but she had her own (to some) oddness, and a few of us just sorta keep in touch on FB and Skype, though some went to TheTangledWeb, I don't know how good it is there. I still mod here.

"Why aren't i just be able to write adventures that don't require crap like an Amish rpg?" -myself
I still wander through. The cat always comes back.
Seems a shame that the new admin has not followed through on promises made and implied.

It is disappointing. I know adminning and stuff can be a lot of work, but just keeping things running doesn't seem like that much of an obligation. I can't truly judge another person's viewpoint I guess, and there are times when we make decisions or offers and are just wrong and things just didn't wind up to make those things have been good ideas, or even possible, to begin with, and that's no crime. But I guess its made me lose a lot of my interest in direct gaming online too, maybe it's the season too, I don't know.

Just wondering, is the chat room down or is there really just a glitch that disables it? It just says - "Loading Chat Log..."
Hmm, It's the third day since the chat room has been down. I wonder when will it get fixed?
Whoa, aside from the chat room being down, there also seems to be a glitch with the emoji pop-up tab. Whenever I click a smiley, it doesn't seem to reflect in my replies.
Hi, everyone! I've noticed that there are still some members checking out the forum, however, not much activity or feedback from the admins. I wonder if the chat room problem will ever get fixed?

President Donald Trump on Wednesday pledged to devote everything within his heart and soul to strike a peace deal between the Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East.
"We're looking seriously at peace and maybe ultimately peace in the whole of the Middle East. I think we have a pretty good shot — maybe the best shot ever — and that's what we're looking to do," the president said Wednesday morning ahead of a meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — President Donald Trump stepped into a surprisingly competitive special congressional election in Kansas Monday, recording a get-out-the-vote call on behalf of Republican candidate Ron Estes.
The robocall from Trump came as the contest also pulled U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas to Wichita to campaign for Estes and amid a flood of out-of-state GOP money ahead of Tuesday's election in the 4th Congressional District of southern Kansas. It was the first special congressional election since Trump's election as president last year.
His Democratic rival, James Thompson, is spending the final day of campaigning before Tuesday's election talking directly to voters. Thompson's campaign says he's countering the visit of Cruz — who vied with Trump for the Republican presidential candidacy — by knocking on doors, going to diners and doing interviews.
"Republican Ron Estes needs your vote and needs it badly," Trump said in the minute-long call. "Our country needs help. Ron is going to be helping us, big league."
The Associated Press obtained a recording of the call from a person close to the campaign who did not want to be identified because it was being released ahead of an official announcement. The person said it was recorded over the weekend.
The Kansas Republican Party later tweeted that Trump's call was going to "tens of thousands" of prospective voters. Trump's call came after the Estes campaign used a similar call recorded by Vice President Mike Pence, starting Saturday.
The contest in the heavily Republican district was watched across the nation for any sign of a backlash against Republicans following Trump's victory. Trump won with 60 percent of the votes cast in the 17-county congressional district of south-central Kansas.
At stake is a House seat Republicans have held for more than two decades. The vacancy was created when Trump chose former U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo as his CIA director.
A raft of big GOP campaign donations and a last-minute ad buy last week of nearly $100,000 by the National Republican Congressional Committee also signaled GOP anxiety over the seat, flooding the local airways with negative advertising against Thompson, a civil rights attorney. Big out-of-state campaign donations have been flowing in the waning days of the campaign to the Republican's coffers.
The Republican super-PAC Congressional Leadership Fund reported Monday that it had spent $30,000 over the weekend on calls for Estes or against Thompson.
"On the left, there is a small, impassioned group of activists who are out of their minds," Cruz told about 200 people at a rally for Estes on Monday.
The Democratic hard-core base is going to show up for Tuesday's special election, he said.
"Our enemy right now is complacency," Cruz said.
Cruz, who won the Republican primary caucus in Kansas, told reporters before the event that he came to Kansas to support Estes because the race matters nationally.
"The eyes of the country are upon it," he said.
The last-minute national GOP interest comes in a race in which Estes, the state's treasurer, had been expected to coast easily to victory. After a missed candidate event last week, Thompson's campaign noted that Estes has failed to show up in 10 candidate forums and debates during the campaign and attended just three others.
"James Thompson is countering the Cruz visit by talking with voters — something Ron Estes has refused to do. Ron Estes is not raising his own money, he is not campaigning for himself and he is too afraid to go face voters himself," said Chris Pumpelly, his campaign spokesman.
Thompson's campaign announced Monday that it hit 20,000 in total donors to its campaign, which has mostly come in as small dollar donations in the past 76 days.
"James Thompson has done all of this on his own," Pumpelly said. "He is interested in talking with voters, he is not going to be hiding behind any D.C. politicians like Ron Estes is."
Republicans have represented the district since Todd Tiahrt unseated veteran Democratic Rep. Dan Glickman in 1994. Pompeo won the state's 4th District seat in 2010, when Tiahrt gave it up to run unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate.
Trump's administration picks and a California Democratic appointment have created five openings in the U.S. House, where Republicans have a 237-193 edge. Republicans are defending four GOP-leaning seats — in Kansas, Georgia, Montana and South Carolina — while Democrats are protecting a seat in a liberal California district.
AP Political Writer John Hanna in Topeka, Kansas, also contributed to this report.

First of all, I want to welcome you if you are a new visitor to this site and welcome you back if you are returning to us.
The word "prepper" became part of the general public's vocabulary with the introduction of the TV show Doomsday Preppers, which is aired on The National Geographic Channel. If you've seen the show, you have probably noticed that it seems to be slanted a little more towards ratings and entertainment than actual education and understanding. I have seen a small amount of interesting information presented on the show, but they also seem to be seeking out more extreme (and possibly not so real) members of the community who perpetuate the idea that preppers are a little (or a lot) on the unstable side.
How many real preppers have you met who are 350 pound morons whose idea of preparing is "teaching" themselves to perform a C-section on their pregnant wives while practicing methods to steal other people's stockpiles of emergency food, water, and supplies. This guy (shown in the picture to the right) calls himself and his friends "marauders". Or how about a group of firemen building a "Trojan horse" out of an old propane tank, banking on the fact that the invading Russians will find it and bring it into their encampment so the 3 or 4 cramped firemen hiding inside can sneak out and wipe out all the invaders. Really????
This show does so much more to sensationalize and stigmatize preppers than it does to educate people. Those who already believed that we were crazy now have this show to bolster their argument, and those who didn't really have an opinion before are now more likely to lean in that direction as well. Now more people than ever view preppers as delusional and paranoid. Congratulations National Geographic on a job well done. Luckily, I have created this site to educate and inform about the realities of prepping.
So, are real preppers delusional and paranoid like so many people think? I think the best way to answer that question is with another question. Is it delusional or paranoid to make sure you have working flashlights and fresh batteries on hand just in case the power goes out, even though power outages don't happen very often and usually don't last more than a few hours at the most? Why is it considered responsible to be prepared for rare events that are only minor inconveniences, but crazy to be prepared for rare events that are serious and life threatening? Remember the old adage "better safe than sorry"?
The vast majority of preppers are simply responsible people who believe in keeping themselves and their families prepared for unlikely but possible disasters. I would much rather be prepared for the disaster that never happens than be caught unprepared for the disaster that does. The stakes are far too high. That seems completely rational to me, especially with recent events making many of these possible events seem a little more likely than we used to believe. I'm talking about the fairly recent increase in the number and frequency of devastating natural disasters, both geological and meteorological, and also the global increase in economic and governmental instabilities.
For a good general overview of these different types of devastating disasters and to be absolutely convinced why you should actually be preparing for them, check out my "What Are Preppers So Worried About" page from the menu at the top of this page.

With roughly 1.5 million Floridians initially without electricity from the damage inflicted on Florida's energy infrastructure, many in the Sunshine State are now questioning why it's so difficult for people to utilize solar energy.
The simple answer is that one of the major electrical suppliers in the state – Florida Power and Light (FPL) – has utilized a massive lobbying campaign, directed at state lawmakers, to create legal barriers to disallow people from powering their own homes with solar panels without being subject to power companies.
In fact, current Florida state law makes it illegal.
This is the definition of crony capitalism. Companies lobby government officials, who then vote in favor of the corporate position — often for a quid pro quo in the form of financial support for the officials' reelection campaign.

Question: why is the sky blue
blue, sky
Asked by xxx_Sidtheultimateswaglord3000_xxx to Hephzi, Imogen, Tom on 19 Mar 2015.
Thomas Barrett
answered on 19 Mar 2015:
A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

REVIEW: Long Gone
– By MovieCritic NextDoor
In a quiet rural area of England, people are disappearing. This is bad enough by itself, but in this case two of the missing are police officers. It can't be reassuring when the very people who are supposed to be dedicated to protecting you are slowly becoming victims themselves.
Enter intrepid reporter Chris (Drew Horsley) and his photographer Amanda (Hannah Walker). Well, actually Chris is rather a pompous jerk who greatly enjoys talking down to Amanda, but to be fair he is clearly determined to get the story and he thinks he has a fresh angle that might get results.
The search right now is naturally concentrated on the town of Fenningbury where the two officers disappeared — first Tom Parker and more recently Greg Jones (Rod Glenn). But Chris wants to go back to the original victim, businesswoman Heather Lanford (Arabella Arnott), who disappeared a short distance away in the midst of a large wooded area. Amanda doesn't think it sounds safe, but of course Chris scoffs at this and off they go.
Naturally things quickly stop going according to plan. It always amuses me to see these city folks flailing around out in the woods, trying to walk in their impractical shoes and panicking every time a squirrel rustles in the leaves. But Chris' idea has worked out a little too well in general, and he and Amanda are now very aware that they aren't alone in these woods. Getting out of there before two reporters are added to the list of the missing isn't going to be easy, though, especially since this kidnapper understands human nature all too well.
The reporters come to life very convincingly even though as a short there isn't a lot of room for character development. There's zero exploration of the whys and wherefores of the crazed kidnapper's motivations, though, which is a shame and makes me hope for a possible feature-length version. Still, the pacing here is perfect for the length, there's a great build of suspense, and an excellent reveal, making it a compelling watch just as it is. When you're an intrepid reporter, sometimes the story gets you.

Khloe Kardashian says cooking is her therapy.
Although the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star is battling a staph infection she picked up while holding a bedside vigil by her estranged husband Lamar Odom's side after he was rushed to hospital following a drink and drug binge, she insisted on hosting Thanksgiving (26.11.15) at her home.
She tweeted: "A tad lethargic from the medication I'm on but I am determined. Cooking is my therapy. Well being a hostess is! Music + cooking= [love].
"I can't wait to Instagram some pictures soon!! Happy Thanksgiving my little turkeys (sic)."
Khloe previously claimed 2015 was the "worst year of [her] life".
When a fan tweeted her to say, "except with the whole Lamar thing 2015 was good to you Khloe. You [hot] asf (sic)", she tweeted back: "hands down worst year of my life lol (sic)".
However, there is light at the end of the tunnel for the 31-year-old beauty as it was recently revealed she is recovering well from her illness and the 36-year-old basketball star is making good progress, too.
One source said: "Khloe is still sick with the staph infection and hasn't visited Lamar recently.
"She's doing a little bit better, but no one can say when she will be able to visit him considering she can't until she's 100 per cent fully healed."

|Sample Letter to the State Department
Today's Date, 2007
Ambassador Michael Kozak
Acting Assistant Secretary of State
Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
U.S. Department of State
2201 C St. Washington, DC 20520
Fax: (202) 647-5283
I am writing to express my condemnation of the February 2005 massacre of eight men, women and children in San Jose de Apartado in northwest Colombia. Internationally respected peace leader and co-founder of the San Jose Peace Community, Luis Eduardo Guerra, his son and partner were among the victims; their assassins were identified by witnesses as members of the Colombian military's 17th Brigade. Given allegations of military involvement in this atrocity, I urge the Department of State to withhold certification of assistance to the Colombian military until there is a transparent, impartial investigation and prosecution by civilian authorities of the authors of this massacre. In addition, certification should not be granted until there is effective investigation and prosecution of army officials involved in human rights abuses and greater progress in breaking links between the army and paramilitary forces.
I am especially concerned by President Uribe's statements on March 20, 2005 accusing leaders and defenders of the Peace Community of lending support to the FARC guerrillas. These broad public statements put at risk all residents of San Jose de Apartado, as well as those who accompany them.
Regarding the San Jose de Apartado case, I respectfully urge the State Department to respond through the following actions:
I look forward to hearing back from you on your actions to ensure justice for the peace communities in Colombia. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
your name
Thanks to Peace Brigades International Colombia Project for this sample letter.

|Acrylics on canvas (1m x 30cm)
Arf 'I'm not Irish!' Wellesley and Abba fought the combined legions of the French Empire under Napoleon Dynamite. There were some Prussians involved who turned up late/or just in time, whatever your point of view.
I wasn't there, in fact. And neither were you. But for the Irish, it was a win-win/lose-lose situation considering we fought on both sides. Isn't that a topsy-turvy way of going about? Not at all odd, really considering the circumstances in Ireland at the time.
So here are the lyrics of a song which has been passed down through two hundred years and which still ring true. If you think my painting is mad, try European politics:
The Wheels of the World
Come all you true sons of Erin; attend to these few simple lines:
I'll sing you a song about spinning. It was a good trade in old times.
Some they spun worsted and yarn, and others they spun flax and tow.
By experience, my friends, you may learn how the wheels of the world they do go.
Luther spun out his existence, and so did King Henry the Eighth.
John Calvin by Satan's temptation, their maxims he did imitate.
Tom Cranmer he joined the new system, and swore he'd make spindles of steel.
Pluto himself did assist them, perdition that turned their wheel.
CHORUS: So these are the wheels of the world, my friends, you must all understand.
For three hundred years, they've been spinning destruction all over the land.
John Mitchell the brave son of Erin, declared that a spinner he'd be.
He got all his wheels in full motion, his dear native land to set free.
But Lord Clarendon the lieutenant, at spinning he was fully bent,
And unto the Isle of Bermuda the sons of Hibernia were sent.
Lord Nelson he was a good spinner on board of the ship Victory.
He was counted the greatest of spinners that ever set sail on the sea.
His shipmen were all famous spinners. For Nelson they spun very well,
But the French spun a ball in Trafalgar, and on the ship deck Nelson fell.
Billy Pitt too was a good spinner, and so was Lord Castlereagh.
Sure they spun out the Union from Ireland. To England they shipped it away.
Poor Billy spun out his existence, and banished in Charon's old boat.
Then Lord Castlereagh saved his distance, by cutting the rim of his throat.
Napoleon he was a good spinner, for freedom did always advance.
Over deserts and great lofty mountains, he led on the brave sons of France.
Old Wellington he went a-spinning. His wheels they were at Waterloo;
But if Grouchy had never been bribed, the French would have split him in two.
Prince Albert came spinning to England. His wheel by a compass did steer.
He spun out a queen for his consort, and some little thousands a year.
John Bull must now go a-spinning. A few thousands more he must fork,
For the Queen has another young son that was spun in the city of Cork.
The factory masters are spinning. Their wheels they are turning away,
And now they are wanting their hands for to work thirteen hours a day.
They don't care a fig for the poor. They heed not their sighs nor their moans.
They don't care a pin if you work till you spin all the flesh off your bones.
The rich they are all famous spinners, and you are very well sure
They are always contriving a scheme to crush down the rights of the poor.
So if you're compelled to go spinning, let each of your spindles be steel.
Let "Liberty" then be your motto, and glory will turn your wheel.
You can even hear a version of the song sung by the excellent Len Graham: https://beta.prx.org/stories/141307 Starts at 15mins 15secs.

Alpha Anywhere Named One of "Seven Tools for Building a Killer Mobile Business App" by IDG's CITEworld
Software recognized for its HTML5 foundation, productivity, completeness and ability to adapt to smartphones, tablets, PCs, Macs, notebooks, and touch-enabled computers

Google is planning to add Play Store access for users of its new Google Glass specs, with a new update of its online emporium offering a sneak peek of its plans.
Sniffed-out by the chaps at Android and Me, Google Glass is now listed as an option when using the Play Store to install apps via the internet.
For now, the chance to click and choose it as your device is unavailable, but Google's intentions appear clear.
This juicy tidbit has been found inside a special My Glass app. It's unclear yet whether Google will be rolling out a dedicated Google Glass channel of the Play Store.
The Big G, however, is priming monthly overhauls of its store, so there's every chance we could see such a channel landing in the next few months.
Google Glass remains a highly sought-after device, with only a lucky few tech heads getting to try it out ahead of its official launch.
Mountain View has yet to confirm when that will actually be, although later this year looks likely.

The financial services industry and public sector are aligned in their concerns about data and system security, with both citing a fear of harmful cyber threats emerging in 2018, according to a new study from digital workplace provider Invotra.
Data and Systems Security are still prioritised
The research, conducted among 504 senior IT managers working across public sector and financial organisations, found that 79% of those in the public sector, and 85% of respondents in the financial services sector, consider data and systems security to be their biggest priority. Both groups also said that the most notable impact of high profile cyber attacks hitting the headlines was greater scrutiny on existing systems.
Strong line of defence
When asked how well equipped their organisation is to defend itself against cyber attacks, the financial sector showed greater confidence, with 94% saying they had a strong line of defence, compared to 88% in the public sector.
Digitisation as an aspiration rather than an achievable goal?
Exploring respondents' attitudes to digital transformation, public sector IT managers were asked how well they felt the sector was progressing. 44% described digital transformation as 'an important focus', but said the public sector is way behind the private sector. There was greater confidence and belief among financial services professionals, with a smaller proportion (19%) feeling financial services lags behind other sectors, and just a small proportion (8%) of respondents in the financial sector describing digitisation as 'an aspiration' and 'not an achievable goal'.
18% think Digital Transformation is just a 'buzzword'
In the public sector, a larger proportion (18%) said digital transformation was 'a buzzword' and described it as 'meaningless', and a fifth said digital transformation was too costly compared to 13% in the finance sector.
Current Investment Levels
Almost half (49%) of public sector respondents said about the right amount had been invested to support broader digital transformation initiatives, but almost a third (32%) said investment to date had been inadequate. In the financial sector, 64% of respondents believe the right amount has been invested in improving digital services, and a much smaller proportion (18%) believe not enough spend has been dedicated to modernisation.
Respondents were also asked to rate their organisation's investment in emerging technologies, including blockchain, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and biometrics. 46% of public sector IT professionals believe about the right amount has been invested but over a third (37%) would like to see greater investment. In the financial sector, over half (54%) believe current investment levels are appropriate, but a fifth believe their organisation is spending too much on emerging technologies. A far smaller proportion (23%) thinks too little is being spent.
Fintan Galvin concluded, "It's clear from our study that finance technology professionals understand the need to drive change. But, they are charged with providing an accessible digital workplace with meaningful results in terms of improving people's work lives, whilst facing sophisticated security threats. And, there is, of course, pressure to do more with less.

Good news this evening, excellent news in fact. The formal quote is in:
The good folks at 3dlasermapping.com have submitted a formal quote of £9,850 to provide a coloured point cloud & geo-reference imaging of the Isle of Man's Snaefell Mountain Course (the road course used for the TT races).
I still have to find a data storage & webhosting partner for the produced data, but that should be complete this week and as soon as it is the Kickstarter will be launched. I'm also still waiting for a quote for point cloud>mesh conversion. When that is in, I'll be updating the campaign with a stretch goal.
According to anyone who has voiced an opinion so far, this price represents tremendous value, and I hope a successful campaign will provide just as much value to the sim racing community. If you're interested in seeing this develop to completion, then please do not hesitate to show your support. On the topic of support, if anyone wants to produce a themed video to be used at the top of the campaign's page, it would be appreciated. Let me know by PM, or simply make the video and send me links.
I'll update again with links to the campaign when we launch.
Thank You.
I've been in contact with a couple of Laser Scanning companies about getting the Isle of Man TT Course laser scanned and currently have an unofficial cost of £10,000. The scanner will be providing a formal quote in short order.
The resultant data would be distributed via the many Sim Racing forums, free of charge to everyone who wants it in the hopes that we can finally get the racetrack that many of us 2 & 4 wheel sim racers have been longing for.
Would the members here be willing to contribute to a Kickstarter to get this done?

ICIS integrative approach of sustainable development challenges is unique, intentionally seeking to combine theories, methods, tools and data from different knowledge domains, in particularly from Sustainability Assessment, Innovation, and Governance for Sustainable Development.
ICIS employs a range of methods (e.g., assessment, modeling, scenarios, discourse analysis, cultural analysis of perspectives, action research, case studies, data mining, survey analysis, multilevel analysis of innovation-based dynamics) and seeks to combine different approaches in projects.
The theoretical foundation of ICIS integrative approach of sustainable development problems is based on three knowledge domains:
- Sustainability Assessment
- Innovation for Sustainable Development,
- Governance for Sustainable Development.
ICIS researchers with different backgrounds are involved in the study of sustainable development problems, and do so in a special way:
- by taking an integrative approach to human-environment interaction,
- by not assuming away complexity but considering it explicitly,
- by spanning boundaries of the pluriform worlds of science and policy, and
- by accepting that sustainable development is something normative
ICIS wants to make a contribution to sustainability science, but also to other types of sciences. Many researchers are experts in disciplinary fields (e.g., integrated assessment, governance, innovation and transition studies).
Real projects, real problems
One of the key features of this programme is its educational format. It is problem-driven rather than theory-driven, and it requires the student to be an active participant. During the programme, the students will get to work on an actual case for a real-life client. This will provide the student with first-hand experience in handling sustainability challenges. Upon graduation, the student will also be completely up-to-date with the latest developments in the field. The client the student will meet during the programme may also become a valuable connection later on when looking for a job.
External review committee report
"An outstanding contribution to society – world leading," is one verdict by an independent review committee on the work carried out by the United Nations University – Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT) and the International Centre for Integrated Assessment and Sustainable Development (ICIS) at Maastricht University, for the period 2010-2015.
Drawing on a mix of data, interviews and narrative accounts, the committee of four Dutch and German professors presented their independent assessment in March 2017.

ROCKIN'1000 officially announces the next step of a project that has gained a vast popularity worldwide for the past two years. The world's largest Rock Band, featuring over 1000 musicians, will perform on the roof of Europe from July 28 to July 29 in Val Veny, a breathtaking location right off the city of Courmayeur. That's the place where ROCKIN'100 SUMMER CAMP will take place, a village where music, amplifiers and watts will be protagonist.
After the 2015 debut, with a tribute to Foo Fighters (who replied with a concert in the city of Cesena – IT) whose video became viral on the net in a few hours (more than 36 millions views all over the world), after 2016's "That's Live", the concert that marked the birth of the Band, with a sold out in a stadium (14000 audience), and the production of That's Live – The Biggest Rock Band on Earth live in Cesena 2016, the live album distributed by Sony Music Italy, the journey continues at high altitude.
Rockin'1000 leaves the Romagna region to get to an unspoiled valley in Courmayeur, at the foot of the Mont Blanc massif, where a village packed with Rock initiatives and attractions will be built: an articulate schedule which will reach its peak in two different shows of the Thousand – the first one on friday night, the latter in broad daylight on saturday. For the first time, the audience will get the chance to attend also the rehearsals, thus getting a close up view on how the thousand musicians arrange the execution of some special songs – object of the official video – realized in an unique enviromnent.
"It's going to be a two days – full immersion in the Nature and in the music that we love the most." says Rockin'1000 General Manager Fabio Zaffagnini. "We want to attract musicians and enthusiasts from all over Europe and even further, make them feel the power of Rockin'1000: a crazy experience, that touches deep inside. Through Summer Camp, we want Rockin'1000 to confirm itself as a music ritual, capable of tearing down any kind of barriers. We want it to be fun, we want it to be unique, something to remember"
The gathering will take place in an environment that is wild but easily reachable, thanks to the services provided by the municipality of Courmayeur.
"We liked their initiative since the very beginning, it is beautiful and engaging. – says Courmayeur Major Fabrizia Derriard – Thanks to Rockin'1000, we think we can convey the concept that mountains are a place where to meet and share, open to everybody. Through music, and its inclusive essence, we want to raise awareness among the general public of the wild and unspoiled beauty of our Val Veny, a unique and multifaceted place. Mountains are everybody's heritage, and everybody is free to experience it in different ways, as a sportsman, a musician, a mountaineer o a simple observer"
To crown this upcoming adventure, an unprecedented format, that will make the experience even more engaging than before , closing the gap between musicians and audience, thanks to a Rock village that will take shape in a dream place.
The idea behind it is to melt musicians and audiences all together, make it impossible to separate the one from the other , thanks to a program full of activities, and a setting up of many common areas, where to camp, play and dance around a bonfire so huge it's destined to become unforgettable.
The complete program will be communicated in detail in the next weeks!

AUSTIN, Texas — Voters in Maine, Nevada, Massachusetts and California have all voted 'yes' to recreational marijuana.
In Texas, it's not even decriminalized yet. But some in the Texas legislator are trying to fix that.
On Monday, the first day of the 2017 Texas legislative session, bills were filed trying to mellow the harsh on Texas pot possession.
The bills could reduce punishments for possession of less than an ounce, make possession of small amounts a misdemeanor or even create a specialty court for first-time offenders.
Texas may be one of the last places to see recreational use — if ever! Some are skeptical the state will never relax on it at all.
Governor Greg Abbott surely won't support legalizing marijuana as he's said countless times. Even Republicans think we might see some decriminalization in 2017.
"We are in a budget shortfall, so this will be tax money that could be saved from enforcement and from keeping people in jail," said Hunter White, the communications director with Republicans Against Marijuana Prohibition. "We have multiple bills attempting to do it in different ways, so there are lots of options available. It doesn't have to be just one way or no way," Hunter said.
But even if the drug is decriminalize, don't expect to be able to spark up with impunity. Even where states have legalized it, companies can still terminate based on a dirty drug test. And there's nothing like a pink slip to blow your buzz.

Family Matters
As far as I was concerned, that day started off just like any other ordinary day. It was the usual gray, depressing skies, with the slight bitterness of the cool winter air. The wind whipped around as if it were sending out a warning, trying to get my attention.
The clock struck 6:30 as it always does, when we sat down for a family dinner. It was a Sunday night, which always means a homemade meal! This was when my family catches up on what we have going on during the week, and anything else that just happens to come up. We were eating my favorite dinner, spaghetti, when the phone rang and my dad jumped up to answer. As soon as I saw his face go from a carefree mood, to a serious, concerned mood, I knew our Sunday night dinner would be cut short!
What seemed like centuries transpired in a matter of moments. As my dad hung up the phone he grabbed his jacket.
"Get in the car!" He stated.
My family did as we were told and quicker then a wink, we were on our way to the Cleveland Clinic Hospital.
During the car ride my dad had explained to us that Poppy, my grandpa from my dad's side, had choked on a piece of his steak which didn't surprise us all that much. He likes his steak so well done, that it resembles a rock. The atmosphere in the car was quiet and unbearable. I didn't bother to ask any further questions because I knew that it would just make matters worse, and this was not the time to try anything that would add tension to the moment.
As we arrived to the hospital, I got a low, sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. This place was cruelly unfamiliar, but for some reason it brought up bad memories from the past, which I would prefer to remain in the past. As we crept through the doors leading us to the waiting room, I saw my grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousin. My grandma was shuttering, with her face in her hands. My uncle was reading, trying to stay out of the loop, my aunt was informing us on any unanswered questions, and my cousin and I were trying to lighten up the mood, by taking the attention off the problem and onto something else. We waited and waited and waited for hours before we got any kind of update on the stressful, heart pounding situation. We were doing anything we could to entertain ourselves and push aside the worrying and bad thoughts. Finally some one called our family over, and informed us on the situation.
The nurses had sputtered out that they had gotten the piece of steak out of his throat which relieved us all, because that meant he was going to be ok, but following the good news they said that there was a small piece still lodged in his esophagus, and he would need to get further test and x-rays. Still with this news, I felt a heavy, bone crushing weight lift off my shoulders.
As we left the hospital and loaded into the car, I realized something. My family had all joined here together to make sure my grandpa was going to be ok. We had all stopped what we were previously doing, and rushed over to the hospital. I believe that no matter what you encounter, having the support and love of your family is the strongest medicine of all.

West Point Mayor Announces For Georgia's 3rd Congressional District
This just arrived in the mailbox.
WEST POINT, GA – West Point Mayor Drew Ferguson announced today that he will be a
candidate for the United States Congress representing Georgia's 3rd Congressional District.
"Washington is broken and as a small businessman I know that what our communities need
from Congress is that they get out of the way and let us create jobs and economic
opportunity for our citizens," Ferguson said. "We are a conservative place, and I want to
put conservative principles to work for the whole district like we have in West Point where
we have cut taxes and utility rates while creating an economic development boom."
Ferguson joins State Senator Mike Crane (R-Newnan) as announced candidates for the race. As Nathan posted earlier, former Troup County Rep Jeff Brown has taken a pass on the run. Peachtree City Businessman Jim Pace is still considering and expected to announce this week.

|Cape - c/o Romwe (under $15!) / Top - Express / Jeans - H&M / Shoes - ZARA (similar) / Bag - Minkoff / Necklace - c/o Happiness Boutique
But sometimes a simple outfit needs MAJOR sparkle - and a few delicate layers aren't going to cut it. Enter the "Glamorous Over The Top Statement Necklace" from the Happiness Boutique...have you ever seen a necklace so ornate?
Luckily, this necklace isn't heavy at ALL. Some of my statement necklaces leave me with a pain at the back of my neck. But this one feels light and comfortable.
I've added in an indoor picture because it's hard to capture the details when it's so bright outside.
This necklace was gifted to me by the Happiness Boutique. It is priced around US$32 (CAD$40) - which is a bargain, given the quality and workmanship. Bonus - all orders come with free shipping! The Boutique is located in Germany, and my order took 2.5 weeks to arrive. If you're interested in placing an order, you can click here to see their selection. My readers get a 10% discount with code: ellaprettyblog (valid until April 29, 2016).
Also - in case you love my Grey Cape in these pics - use code "RW-ellaprettyblog60" to get 60% off ANYTHING you order from Romwe! I can't speak for ALL the clothing items on their site (I know some pieces can be hit and miss) but I've loved the items I've featured on my blog (especially this skirt and this blazer). Please note that the clothes come from China so they can take a month to arrive. If you have any sizing/ordering questions - leave me a comment below!
Have you switched over to delicate layered necklaces or do you still prefer statement necklaces?
