The 2016 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) Awards have come and gone, and for years to come, one name will always be on the head of everyone - Kenneth Mugambi Muguna after the young midfield conductor was selected the best among everyone who kicked a ball in the 254 boarders this year.
No one remembers those awarded in denying the opponents a sniff of their goal. While players in the attacking front are easily picked for top awards, the real work always lies with the men at the back. Muguna has not been described as a "trusted midfielder", nor has anyone said Mark Makwatta will "do the job" - their accolades were fed with the creative flair to match their on-pitch inventiveness. As an attacker, naturally, their role is to take risks, to jink, outwit and punish.
Matasi's Rise
Goalkeepers, on the other hand, are a different breed. Patrick Matasi rise to stardom this season can be banked on the enormous work done by his defenders (he was at AFC Leopards before and we know his potential). When coach Zedekiah Otieno trusted him with keeping the balls out of the onion bag after falling out with Ian Otieno, not a lot was expected from him. His goalkeeper of the year accolade now has been met with headlines, captions and quotes all parroting the trite, curbed compliment – "a safe pair of hands."
Should they earn anything more than assured security? Their responsibility is negation of the very objective behind the beautiful game, football. By name, "goal" "keeper", they are bound by obligation to obtrude fun, to prevent the spectacle by calmly catching a 94th minute corner with the game poised at 0-0, or after a striker's mazing run past three desperate defenders, sliding down and comfortably smothering the ball with prosaic efficiency. Even the best penalty box commanders, the experts in sensibility, are not adorned with the artistic status given to their free to roam teammates.
While every reader will remember Stephen Owusu's goal against Bandari (a goal that we all believe handed Tusker the title) with collective cacophony, few would recall many of Matasi's saves during his 15 clean sheets in 25 appearances for Rangers. Indeed, the ease with which goalkeepers are forgotten is even more surprising given that, in truth, they are quite literally the most visible players in the game.
TV highlights invade keepers' penalty areas with voyeuristic omniscience, their towering figures loom over tunnel-framed captains who busily attend to pre match handshakes, and seemingly solely for the pleasure of even the earliest stadium arrivals during the pre-match warm-up, they casually meet the uncontested swinging crosses from their coaches with professional oomph before any outfield players have even got their kit on. Above all, their careers span far wider than their foot-using teammates - and all while wearing some of the dodgiest kits the game has seen.
Rangers coach Zedekiah Otieno might have missed the coach of the year accolade but his nomination could be banked on his defence and Joakins Atudo's award was a proof. He rarely rotated his back four and if he was forced to do so, he brought in people who he thought could 'do the job'. In their debut season, they only soaked 15 goals, a tally only bettered by Gor Mahia who soaked 14 goals. Everyone who knows Zico will tell you everyone in his team is a defender oftenly throwing in speedy wingers for the counter attacks.
Defence First
So why defence for Zico? It seems unlikely to believe that the former Sony Sugar boss was relieved off his duties towards the end of the season. Call it a 'safety first' measure-a tactic that allows a team to soak pressure and be efficient with the few chances they get in the opposition box. The urge of thwarting anything thrown at your box has worked for great coaches around the world. It might not bring out the type of entertainment fans may want, but it works when losing isn't an option for any team and a result that saw Rangers finish in position four.
As for Matasi, if he continues to display such dulling, monotonously effective performances that extract the highest hurrah of goalkeeper plaudits, he could have a more recognized honours to lift in his safe pair of hands when he calls it a day.

California utility Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E) has announced $10.3 million in funding available for its customers under the Multifamily Affordable Solar Housing (MASH) Program, a state program that offers rebates for affordable solar energy to families in disadvantaged communities.
As the utility explains, the MASH program offsets the costs of installing new solar energy systems on multifamily affordable housing buildings, providing clean energy for tenants as well as in common areas like hallways, stairwells and laundry rooms. On average, PG&E says, the program financially supports about 40% of the solar system equipment and installation for an apartment building.
"The real benefit of solar in California is when everyone has access to it regardless of location or income – which is exactly what the MASH program aims to achieve. Supporting access to solar energy for all is a win for our customers and a win for the state's clean energy goals," says Aaron Johnson, vice president of PG&E's customer energy solutions.
In addition to expanding solar energy in disadvantaged communities, the MASH program also increases job training in the clean energy industry by requiring at least one trainee work on each project. Since the program started in 2008, PG&E says its portion of the state program has directly benefited more than 3,600 families across Northern and Central California; provided $33 million in funding for rooftop solar on multifamily buildings like apartments and condos; and supplied about 15 MW of solar energy, equivalent to powering more than 6,000 homes, in the utility's territory.
Typically, solar contractors apply for the MASH program on behalf of property owners of multifamily developments in disadvantaged communities, PG&E explains. After the solar system is installed, the MASH program provides financial rebates based on the size of the system and how much of the solar energy is allocated to tenants. The utility says the benefits of solar can be split among the tenants and common areas, with residents seeing lower monthly bills as they use solar for electricity during the day.
PG&E's new funding round for the program is open through Friday, Aug. 11 at 4 p.m PT. For more information, visit pge.com/mash.

Some of the greatest atrocities ever committed were done by those who professed to be Christians. We wonder how, but the answer is simple. We forget. We forget God's statutes, His ways, His heart, His truth. We either forget entirely, or more commonly, we overlook and override our convictions. The Forgotten People is a story examining this very thing and it is a story that the world is attempting to forget.
We Must Remember
Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today
~ Deuteronomy 8:11
When we forget, the only path available to us is darkness. We once knew, we had light, the truth rang clear, but when we drift from that, everything becomes darker. The Forgotten People is the story of Christianity and the Holocaust.
The Holocaust is not just one of the darkest events in history. It was an event that was facilitated and permitted by many Christians. It is a stark reminder of how even those who know God can drift into darkness when they begin to forget. This film is a memorial, not of the atrocity that occurred, but it stands as a warning to all Christians. It is a guidepost to show us how easily we could allow another atrocity to occur in the future, and how we must guard our hearts and our ways.
Light In The Darkness
This film is excellently produced; it contains a wealth of historical footage and insights from modern events. In many ways it is timeless because the real subject is not only current events, but the hearts of those who know God.
Almost since the inception of the Church, Christians have persecuted the Jews. Even to this day prejudices exist. For this to happen, Christians need to forget the promise God made to NEVER forget the descendants of Abraham, we need to forget most of our old testament, we need to forget that Jesus was a Jew, we need to forget that all of the apostles were Jews, we need to forget what the new testament has to say about the Jews, we need to forget the entirety of Jesus teachings, and we must forget even the most fundamental Bible teachings of honor, dignity, and love for all human beings.
This movie digs into many of these issues and provides wisdom on how we can prevent history from repeating itself. And it shines a light on people and events that many have forgotten. This is a very timely topic, as Israel has been under siege in recent times.
Standing With Israel
This film and its sister documentary Israel Indivisible were developed by Proclaiming Justice To The Nations, a nonprofit organization established to educate Christians about their Biblical responsibility to stand with their Jewish brethren and Israel.
I believe this movie does a great job at bringing the obvious truth back to remembrance. And it affirms the hearts of all Christians who have sensed God's call to stand with Israel.

The Forgotten People is available on DVD
In Christ,

I'll be honest with you guys, some weeks I feel like I'm killing it so to speak, but other weeks I feel like it's killing me. The last few weeks have been the latter unfortunately. Last week I was fighting off something physically so I was drained and exhausted every day. I'm not normally one to nap, but at that time…I was napping for (at most) a half hour most days (which explains my absence on here). The worst part though was that I couldn't even take a break without feeling horribly lazy and guilty.
So this week I felt like I was on catch up and while some things were accomplished (yay for mopped floors finally!), I just couldn't kick others into gear – at all…. Such as finding writing inspiration, eating well, and exercising…I mean….I even wore my workout attire in hopes that it would kick start me, but nope… Nothing!
I'm finding that the temptation for me on those off weeks is to just throw in the towel altogether, raise the white flag and admit defeat. I battle self criticism in those times and when I haven't caught it in time it's often been the cause of much guilt, shame, and hopelessness… Which has only ever led to despair, depression, lost purpose and defeat.
Maybe you can relate… You feel you're going strong, nailing everything in your path and then bam! Something happens and you have a setback… And it's not quite the setback itself that causes the problem, but rather it's the reeling from the setback that inflicts more damage than anything.
- Choose to focus on your accomplishments
- Recognize that a setback is not a disqualification
- Give yourself permission to slow down and take a break when needed.
- After you fall, get back up and keep going
We all face setbacks from time to time, and I'm almost positive that no matter who you are or how long you've been doing what you do…the temptation is always there to give into discouragement in those times. But it's not the setbacks that hold the power…it's your response to it that determines your outcome. So be encouraged today that it's never too late to start again; go back to your reason for starting…whether it's a relationship, a hobby, a new mindset, exercising, healthy eating, following your creative pursuits, learning a new instrument, or something else altogether…go back and remember your why…restore your purpose and then begin again.
Have a wonderful weekend and let the newness and freshness of spring be a reminder that you too, can begin each day anew!

Book Review: Shallow Graves by Jeffery Deaver - Reviewed by CloggieA (12 Mar 2011)
Shallow Graves is the first of Jeffrey Deaver's Location Scout novels. John Pellam is the location scout in question, and his job is to scout for suitable locations at which to shoot movies. He is doing just that in the small upstate New York town of Cleary when he is injured as a pedestrian and his assistant, researching a different location, dies when the gas tank of his hire car explodes. The speed of the "investigation" and the hasty disposal of the burnt car wreck cause Pellam to suspect foul play. The presence of bullet holes in the car body near the gas tank firm these suspicions. In the course of his own investigation, Pellam encounters a hippy, an attractive real estate agent, a pharmaceutical manufacturer, an apple fair, a junkyard, a jealous land developer, guns, drugs and quite a few fists at close range. Plenty of plot twists keep it exciting to the very end.
Jeff Deaver was a lawyer before quitting work to become a full-time writer. He divides his time between Washington, DC and California.

So, let's mix things up a bit this month; shall we. Instead of my usual wine column I thought I would instead review one of my favorite California restaurants. I know what you're thinking, how could some obscure eatery on the west coast benefit me, unless I live there? Well although it may seem obscure, it's not like I'm reviewing a place that's in the middle of Podunk Nowhere. And even if we were, I don't see it hurting Drive-Ins, Dinners and Dives one little bit, but I digress. As I was saying, we aren't in B.F.E., we're in Southern California and I know in addition to many people visiting here for their vacations there are also hundreds of thousands who come here every year, just to spend a day or two, at the 'Happiest Place on Earth'. Well, it just so happens that the restaurant I am going to tell you about is about 2-miles from where I live and it's a place I thought everyone could put on their list of places to dine, because when they come to Anaheim, California and visit Disneyland, this unexpected gem is walking distance from the most famous mouse on the planet.
That said, my review this month is not just about a magnificent eating establishment, but it also has a first-class wine menu and is among one of the best I have ever viewed. And without further ado Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, the Napa Rose, located in the equally striking Disneyland's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. A stunning classic Northern California themed structure; imagine Frank Lloyd Wright with Disney imagination and a fireplace you could park a mid-sized car in.
When you first enter the Napa Rose you have a couple of options. The first is the lounge/bar area. No reservation needed, but depending on the season it may fill up quickly. You can get full menu service from the lounge area, but I find a nice bottle of wine and an appetizer (I highly suggest you try the cheese plate) works well for a simple evening of conversation or entertaining. The full service bar is one of the first things you notice upon entering; a long elegant structure that wraps around the middle of the restaurant, surrounded by numerous small tables with relaxed chairs. There is a warm fireplace and the ambiance is comfortable without being affected. Being at Disneyland certainly seems to play a role in this as they accommodate families from all over the world, many of whom are just coming back in from spending a day at the park. To be honest, the casualness of many diners, the seeming lack of interest by Disneyland goers to 'dress for dinner' and the clear absence of any dress code by the restaurant, was a bit off putting the first time I went there. But I can honestly say, I've never had a bad experience and even the youngest kids seems unusually well mannered and my attention was very quickly redirected to their incredibly wine list, their impeccable service and their absolute attentiveness and in spite of being surrounded at times by under-dressed vacationers, every time I feel I am truly in a fine-dining atmosphere.
The second suggestion I'd like to make regarding your Napa Rose experience, is reservation dining. After you are greeted by the trademarked Disneyland smile and a 'Welcome to Napa Rose' you are led to your table. No waiting! (That's the only way for me). On the way there you will walk past one of the nicest glass wine rooms you can imagine. No really, it's breath taking and if it were mine, I'd show it off too. The best of the best from California reside in there; cases and cases of rare Cabernets, Pinot Noirs, and magnums of Screaming Eagle, Château d'Yquem and of course an inspired selection of Europe's finest from the greatest Bordeauxs and Champagnes to the oldest Ports. As you round the inspiring display, you are greeted by the chef's kitchen, which is open and surrounds the dining room, where you can watch them as they prepare each meal.
For this dining experience my lovely wife and I asked two friends of ours to join us; Tom Bennett and his beautiful wife Rebekah. Tom and I are old high school friends and when we get together we like to enjoy the libations. So please be advised that substantial wine drinking may ensue during the reading of this article and a taxi may be called to get us all safely home.
Since the wife and I go to Napa Rose at least 6 times a year we called the Sommelier, who we have gotten to know (and who also happens to be an expert and a fan of Sherry – we love that) and told him that we would be bringing two special friends on Saturday night for dinner. I typically bring a bottle (or two) from my personal collection. Napa Rose charges $25 per bottle corking fee. However if I bring a bottle I feel it is mannerly to order one or even two bottles from the place I am dining at and although not always, I will say often the corking fee is waived. Always ask what the corking fee is when you make a reservation at a restaurant; as some do not allow you to bring your own wine.
The interior of the award winning Napa Rose is rich in modern California design and it's well worth taking your time when you are there and really taking it in. Since opening in 2002, they have received many honors and accolades from a number of institutes, including Wine Spectator, Zagat, The Southern California Restaurant Writers among others.
When you are seated there is a view of Disney California Adventure and as mentioned, they offer an open-view kitchen, which is fast paced but quiet and does not distract one at all, mainly because it moves like a very well-oiled machine and it's pretty fascinating to witness. The dining area, surrounded by beautiful inlaid wood, is as sophisticated as it is beautiful and creates a setting befitting a fine dining establishment. All this attention to detail is one of the things that Disney architects provide so well and in my opinion, it's one of their marks of genius.

It's for women who want to go deeper in their love and service to Christ—women who are moms, working women, Bible study leaders, Sunday school teachers, missionary wives, seminary students, leaders in parachurch organizations, and any woman—married or single—who is looking for practical, biblical encouragement and inspiration.
Our goal is to provide timely features, interviews, resources, and columns written by Christian around the world who face the same issues every woman experiences. The publication is uniquely reader written by women who candidly and honestly inspire, encourage, and affirm one another through their deep love for Christ and hearts to help others. They are real and relevant, and point to biblical truth and solutions.
Internationally known author and speaker, Jill Briscoe is the Founder, Shelly Esser is Editor, Mary Perso is General Manager, Suzan Braun is Assistant Editor/Circulation Manager, Nancy Krull is Renewals Manager, and Mary Ann Prasser is Web Director.

Psychology relates to understanding humans and human activity. The programme provides basic knowledge about psychology and a general introduction to core areas in psychology such as cognitive, biological, developmental, social and personality psychology in addition to a number of other applied areas.
The one-year programme is aimed at those who wish to acquire an understanding of psychology as field and science, hereunder different theoretic, methodological and professional perspectives.
Further education: The programme is approved as entrance requirement for the vocational studies in psychology at the universities . The National Council for Psychology Education has in this connection stated: "After completing a positive evaluation of the one-year programme, the council has concluded that the educational offer at Lillehammer University College (LUC) corresponds to the academic content and quality of the one-year programme in psychology at the universities."
The one-year programme corresponds to the first academic year of the Bachelor's degree programme in Psychology.

The teaching of reading and phonics.
The children are heard to read by an adult on a regular basis; in KS1 and for some older pupils this will be on a daily basis. In both key stages pupils also have a weekly guided comprehension session, which helps not only to develop their reading skills, but also their understanding of a variety of language and texts.
Children in all classes are read to by their teachers and this promotes reading for pleasure.
In KS1 we mainly use the Oxford Reading Tree scheme, but we do have other books which can be used to develop and extend children's reading skills if needed. The Oxford Reading Tree is our main scheme supported by, The Flying Boot, Wellington Square, Heinemann, Books on Demand, Nelson Thorne's reading scheme and, in KS2, Collins Pathways Readers. When children are ready to move away from a reading scheme, staff help them to chose books from the library, which are age appropriate and will continue to develop reading skills.
In Reception and KS1 the children all have daily phonics lessons. As a school we use Letters and Sounds to inform our planning. We use a variety of resources and games to aid the children and to make the teaching and learning of phonics exciting and interesting.
Below is a list of websites that can support you and your child with letters and sounds
Games mainly aimed at year 1 and year 2 looking at sounds and high frequency words. Some printable activities too particularly for the phase 4 blends.
· www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks1bitesize
Games to practice key skills such as rhyming, punctuation and grammar.
Lots of free games for each phase, especially good for reading non-words. You can also subscribe to access more games.
Includes further information on each phase as well as printable resources and links to online games.
Wide range of games for sounds, words and rhyming.

Today was the first day of my Southern Literary Festival sojourn. My journey started when I woke up at 5:30 am. I was on the road by 6:45am and then in a different car and on my way to Mississippi by 8am. We (I'm traveling with my co-worker, Gloria, who drove the whole way here–Bless her!) were on the road for about seven hours as we traveled from North Georgia to Oxford, Mississippi, stopping once to eat at a Cracker Barrel (like any good Southern traveler does). For the last two hours of the trip, there was absolutely nothing. I mean not even a McDonalds. We took note of the tiny amount of civilization we saw which included: A Huddle House, a Dollar General, and a McDonalds listed on one of those "Food" exits signs, but couldn't' actually see the restaurant from the interstate. There was nothing but fields, scrawny pines, and bad paving for about 100 miles. Luckily, there was a Mississippi Welcome Center when we crossed the State Line, and good thing we stopped there, because there was NOTHING else.
The festival itself hasn't really started, yet. There was registration, which they were closing down by the time we found the place, and a reception, where we ate about 3 grapes and a giant cube of turkey. Most of the festivities start tomorrow.
After the meager reception, Gloria and I explored the town square, ate at a spiffy soul-food restaurant called Ajax, and perused through Square Books (unfortunately there were way too many people for me to fell comfortable taking pictures inside the store).
Oxford, Mississippi is home to William Faulkner's home, Rowan Oak. We will be going there Saturday. I'm looking forward to that bit.
So here are the pictures of my adventure so far:

Campbell County, Wyoming Represents Your Best Bet at Legitimate Western Trophy Hunting
Little did you know, a western big game hunt is easier to achieve than you thought.
The kind of land that Gillette-Wright, Wyoming offers a big game hunter is incomparable, but it's also intimidating.
Most average hunters who've yet to experience a western big game adventure assume it's near-impossible to book, plan, and afford a hunting trip for something like mule deer or pronghorn. They'd be wrong, and the folks of Gillette-Wright want to set the record straight.
The Gillette-Wright area is home to 4,802 square miles of near-pristine western hunting land, and licenses are regularly accessible and reasonably inexpensive. The out-of-state hunting license application period opened on January 3, 2017 and goes until May 31, with the draw held in early June.
There's no better place to get a youngster into the sport either, especially when you consider the money and effort saved through the help that's readily available.
Because the towns' location in Campbell County consists mostly of private land, it's always wise to hire a local outfitter, someone who can get hunters into places where the general hunting public cannot access, or at least knows very little about.
If hunters from anywhere in the country are serious about getting a trophy pronghorn out west, they should hire an outfitter and conduct a scouting trip during the spring or summer months. That way, they can meet the outfitter, scout the area, and familiarize themselves with the landscape and game.
With this easy and meaningful trip, they are not showing up unprepared come hunting season, a common fallback that unsuccessful hunters often face.
But when you're talking about one of the coolest, something-for-everyone kind of area, convincing your family to go to Campbell County with you as a summer trip (while you spend some time scouting) won't be nearly as difficult as you thought.
Devils Tower is a short drive away, and things like museums, events, and all kinds of tours are at your disposal.
Look into what it takes to book a trip and find an outfitter, and you'll be well on your way to Wyoming come hunting season.

Para Cerrar la Brecha: Un Enfoque Participativo para la Educacion en Salud y Nutricion (Bridging the Gap: A Participatory Approach to Health and Nutrition Education).
Keehn, Martha, Ed.
A Spanish version of a manual on workshops for training nutrition and health field educators to approach communities more sensitively emphasizes techniques for involving community members in efforts to achieve better health and nutrition. Experiential workshop materials and techniques have been field-tested in several countries, including Indonesia and the Dominican Republic. Workshops consist of 3 short sessions (10-15 days each), spaced 3 to 4 months apart, with a multidisciplinary approach. Workshop activities are conducted in three subgroups, which organize their work in flexible, interacting smaller units. Practical applications and fieldwork in three villages are essential components, with participants returning to their own agencies between training sessions, to transfer the new techniques into immediate use. At the beginning of each new training session, participants share their field experiences and members of the training team provide feedback. Participants are also trained in evaluation methods. Training activities fall into four categories: training community health and nutrition workers, helping communities uncover health and nutrition problems, creating learning activities, and planning and evaluating with the community. All activities are presented in a format which specifies setting, time needed, purpose, preparation, and procedure. (MH)

It was a snowy Valentine's Day wedding for Susana and Matt.
If there's one thing I remember from my first meeting with Susana, it was that she had a very precise vision from her day. Her 30 pound binder with it's many pages and folders yielded some really exciting (and way too complicated for my skill level) DIY projects that I knew only Susana could pull off. And boy did she pull it off!
Their baroque inspired, gold and blush, Mill Top wedding was as grandeur as it was intimate. Sixty of their closest friends and family (slowly but ever so surely) made their way in through the snow to be a part of Susana and Matt's buddhist wedding, which was a first for me! At the end of the ceremony, the sound of bells ringing from the crowd carried through the halls as they made their exit. It was so joyful!
The reception hall was no exception when it came to beautifully executed and coordinated DIY projects. The dozen chandeliers hanging around the room sealed the baroque ambiance. After many heartfelt (and some very short) toasts, it was off to dancing with one of my new favorite wedding bands, My Yellow Rickshaw!
I love Susana and Matt and hope you will also love their wedding photos!
Cheers, friends! Let's have a puppy play date soon!
And so ends my last post as "Rebecca Shehorn," and what a post to end on! Love you two!

I realized that I have slowly accumulated various skin care sets over the last few months and I wanted to share them with you. I love buying sets because I am able to try more products usually for the price of a full size product! It's a great way to discover new items that may become holy grails!
I'll start with my Valentine's Day gift from my boyfriend. I was very lucky that my best friend ran into him at the mall and decided to show him what he should get me from Sephora. XD She and I had been shopping a few days prior and I kept saying I wanted to buy this Sephora Favourites Skin Fitness set but I'm on a "no-buy" right now. I knew it was out of stock online and there were only 4 left in store. It was torture! I'm so happy I stayed strong and ended up getting it as a gift!!
This set includes: Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo, Evian Mineral Water Spray, invisibobble ORIGINAL the traceless hair ring, philosophy Purity Made Simple Foaming 3-in-1 Cleansing Gel, tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara, LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant, and Murad Hydro-Dynamic™ Ultimate Moisture.
This set cost $38 CAD from Sephora with a retail value of $78!
I also got this awesome Sailor Moon blanket for Valentine's!! 😀
This is the Sephora Favourites Quench Your Skin set. I really am a sucker for these Sephora Favourites sets! Sometimes I wait too long to buy them and they sell out. This one I bought right away and it's still in stock. Go figure! I bought this last month and I thought these are all great products to try for this dry weather.
This set includes: Dr.Jart+ Water Drop Hydrating Moisturizer, First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration, REN Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream, Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask, Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream, Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream, GLAMGLOW GLOWSTARTER Mega Illuminating Moisturizer, Fresh Seaberry Moisturizing Face Oil, Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped CreamDrunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream,and Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil.
This set cost $56 CAD from Sephora with a retail value of $105.
I bought this Ole Henriksen Love It All Blockbuster Skincare set sometime before Christmas, and I got a really good deal on it. It was on sale for $59! I've liked everything I've tried from this brand so it was a no brainer to buy it. This set is out of stock but you can still check it out here if you like.
This set includes: The Clean Truth Cleansing Cloths:BrighteningThe Clean Truth Cleansing Cloths:Brightening, African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser, Truth Serum Vitamin C Anti-Aging Collagen Booster, Sheer Transformation, Ultimate Lift Eye Gel, Truth Sugar Glow Polishing Mask, Rub N' Buff Salt Scrub, and POWER Bright 3-step Professional Brightening System.
This set cost $59 CAD (marked down from $72) with a retail value of $121!!
I got this Eau Thermale Avène Hydrance Optimale set from Shoppers Drug Mart's Beauty Boutique sometime in November. I had recently tried their Hydrating Serum and was impressed so I bought this to give their other products a go.
This set includes: Light Hydrating Cream, Thermal Spring Water, Cleansing Foam, Soothing Moisture Mask, and Hydrating Serum.
This set cost $37.50 CAD with a retail value of $67.
I got this Royal and Langnickel Love is… Patience 13 pc Makeup Brush Kit from Winners in November. I own a few of their brushes already and they are very nice for such a cheap price. I thought this would be perfect for travelling because it comes with a brush roll! You can buy this set from their website here but you won't get the fantastic deal like I did from Winners!
This set includes: Large powder, stippler, foundation, contour, line & smudge, large concealer, angle shader, small shader, crease, smudger, mini flat smudger, and angle brow brushes.
This set cost $24.99 CAD from Winners with a retail value of $59.99 USD from their website.
Lastly, this is unrelated to my value sets but I wanted to share two new purchases I made from elf. I picked up the Perfect Finish HD Powder in "Clear/Transparent" as well as their Tone Correcting Powder in "Cool."
I thought this HD powder was the one that people rave about but it says "new" on the box so that was confusing. But it is the one that was recommended by my favourite YouTuber! I did try it once and so far, so good. It cost me $8 CAD!
This tone correcting powder was a very rushed buy that I made by mistake. I was quickly trying to find a peach or pink cream or liquid colour corrector and couldn't find anything at all. I saw this and saw it had pink and grabbed it, not stopping to read that it was a powder!! After watching a YouTube video, I learned that you are supposed to mix your brush in all 4 colours and use it all over your face. I've only tried it once so far but it did actually even out my skin tone, surprisingly! So I may have bought it by mistake but I think I may have discovered a little gem. It was only $4, too!
Anyway, that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed and let me know if you have tried any of these products or if there are any similar products you think I'd enjoy!
xoxo, Tigritsa

Just bought this PSU to use in my system. I have not seen any reviews on this particular unit. Can you guys let me know if this seems like a good deal for what I paid ($43.00)? I don't know much about PSU's.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Geforce6100pm-m2 V3.0 mobo
4 GB Samsung pc2 800 6400
Nvidia Geforce 8600gt
120g Maxtor HDD
Only time will tell. It has two 12V rails and most today recommend PSU with single 12V rail @ high amps. The time to ask was before you bought it.
Goin' Fishin' (Some day)
20 amps on the 12v, whats the minimum for you graphics card?
I bought it because it fits my needs. I was curious if it was a good deal at the price I paid. A while back I knew to look for higher amps on the +12. This was the highest I could find for around 40 bucks. Most others were 16-17amps. Is this a decent brand? It looked good to me. Now I just want to know what others think.
As Richard59 said, time will tell. You should have asked before you bought it.
Two things jump out at me: it's an ATX12V 2.0 unit (current standard is ATX12V 2.3) & it has a 46A rating on the +5v rail. Who the heck needs 46A on the +5v? No one! Loading up amps on the +5v is a trick some manufacturers use to inflate the overall wattage rating. This PSU is no where near being a 500W unit. It's a 400W unit at best & even that may be a stretch. You paid too much for a low end PSU.
Here's a 380W Antec ATX12V 2.3 that's 80+ certified, has active PFC, a 3 yr warranty & it's only $40. What's the warranty on the Zumax?
For $5 more, here's a 430W Antec:
And that's just the beginning. I could post at least a 1/2 dozen others that cost the same (or less) & are better than the one you ended up with.

Set stage: 2004, Finland. Former Ensiferum frontman Jari Maenpaa releases his debut semi-solo album under the name Wintersun. Featuring a unique blend of power metal, prog, folk, symphony and black metal, this powerful album is met with wide acclaim. Two years later, the recording process for the follow-up begins, with a release date of 2007. The follow-up releases in 2012, and is split into two, with the second part being promised for later in the year. Five years later, the follow up is no longer coming, and Jari announces a new project with basically the same line-up. What the hell happened? Let's take a look.
Last year I took it upon myself not only to organize and compile our own staff's AOTY list, but to take things one insane step further and compile a bunch of lists from major metal or metal-covering publications and websites into one MEGA AOTY list to rule them all. Eden and I then analyzed the list and made some (mostly snarky) comments about the metal journalism industry and how they approach these sorts of things. Though I still 100% stand by what we wrote there and the conclusions we drew from it, I was really interested in seeing how well some of them would stand up to another year to use as a data point. Thankfully, this year I had a lot of help in all of our list-making efforts thanks to fellow editor Noyan, who put a ton of work into coming up with the method we ended up using to aggregate our lists (if you haven't already, you should absolutely read his post delving into the nitty-gritty of that methodology) and then did the actual number-crunching.
Hey. If you've been a regular Heavy Blog commenter for a while, you're probably accustomed to the Disqus comment system we used to use. And if you've been paying some attention, you might have noticed we are no longer using Disqus. A vast majority of you will probably not care too much, and a vocal few longtime commenters might get upset. This isn't a change we're making haphazardly, and we're not sure if this new solution is permanent, but I do feel that I owe it to explain to you why I decided to push for this change. Hopefully it won't be too much of a bother for you and we can have even more fulfilling discussions.
Everybody loves talking about their year-end lists, but no one talks about perhaps the most important part: How they arrived at said lists! The bigger a staff group gets for a site, the harder it gets to aggregate their year-end lists. One possible way is to just get people together and have them argue it out, have editors yell louder than everyone else and end up with some sort of list, but that gets complicated and frustrating way too fast, no one ends up happy, and it wastes way too much time. We did something like that for our two-part year-end list for the podcast, but since our staff roster has 27 people, it's quite intractable. As such, I resorted to science. No, seriously. Let me tell you how I computed our AOTY list.
Hey, friends. Earlier last month, we decided to discontinue The Brian Shields Memorial Tour Fund as a project due to its overwhelming logistical issues, as well our deep questioning of the viability of the project. As we decided to lay the project to rest, we wondered what to do with…
The gamut of possible dismissive, condescending or vitriolic reactions to things online is described by the word "edgy". They who attempt to be "edgy" are looking for shock factor; their goal is to dismiss things loved by as many people as possible, as loudly as possible, to garner the all-important "emotional rise" that makes up so much of the Internet. This is not to say that all derisive criticism is "edgy"; there certainly exist a whole bunch of things so amateurish or offensive that they deserve no consideration other than the most shallow and callous. But the list of those things is much, much smaller than you think. In reality, simple empathy is all that is required in order to take something off your "shitpost list", according it more time than a muttered grumble or acerbic comment online. Most things which you encounter are completely legitimate objects for worthy consideration or at least contemplation regarding the motivation of those who enjoy them.
Today's musical landscape moves and changes faster than ever before, aided largely by the internet and social media. As such, new genres of music evolve at a far more rapid pace than they ever did in the pre-internet Dark Times. Post-black metal is one such relatively young and nascent genre, and it's already seen a significant amount of creative innovation and commercial success.
Hey, friends. We're going to try to keep this as concise as possible, for the sake of our time and your own. The future of The Brian Shields Memorial Tour Fund is that there is no future for it. As you may have noticed, The Brian Shields Memorial Tour Fund…
The following is pieced together by Heavy Blog is Heavy editor Kyle Gaddo from a series of messages exchanged between him and ex-Scale the Summit drummer J.C. Bryant on Thursday, October 27th, 2016 and Friday, October 28th, 2016, as well as messages posted publicly by Chris Letchford via the Scale…
We're here to talk about Plini and why his music should be the blueprint for this growing genre. The reasons are many and, while chronology isn't that good of a reason, it might do to first mention that he's had his name on releases going as far back as 2011. His own releases, along 2013-2015, were tasteful, imaginative sojourns into well defined and enticing musical places. These set some of the main tropes of the genre, including the overall sleek yet colorful aesthetic surrounding the music. But what is it about Plini that makes him rise above the rest? In a growing genre that's already often sounding stale and repetitive, how does he manage to make music which is distinctly his and is interesting to boot? That's the purpose of this article, to examine Plini's appeal and strength of delivery and perhaps, along the way, take a good, hard look at nu-prog and all it has yet to learn.

Have we had enough of these criminal illegals coming back in the country and committing horrifying crimes yet?
A member of the MS-13 street gang who had been deported from the U.S. four times stabbed two women and sexually assaulted a 2-year-old girl in a New York City suburb, police said Thursday.
Tommy Vladim Alvarado-Ventura, 31, of Hempstead, pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail Thursday. His court-appointed attorney declined to comment.
Honestly, these days we wouldn't be surprised to see Hempstead becoming a sanctuary city by tomorrow.
Alvarado-Ventura is suspected of assaulting the child Tuesday night while the girl's mother was at work, acting Nassau County Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter said at a news conference.
Krumpter said that in his 28 years in law enforcement, the alleged crime is "probably the most heinous criminal act I've ever seen. It really is nauseating."
Authorities said that after the assault, Alvarado-Ventura went to a nearby bar, where he argued with a woman over a marijuana deal and then stabbed her in the parking lot. The woman, who was not identified, suffered a collapsed lung, police said.
He then returned to the apartment where the alleged sexual assault took place, police said. When the child's mother returned home from work at about 4:15 a.m. Wednesday, she discovered injuries to her child and argued with Alvarado-Ventura. During that argument, he stabbed the woman, Krumpter said.
The mother was able to flee to another part of the apartment and called police. Alvarado-Ventura was sleeping when officers arrived and arrested him, police said.
Police say Alvarado-Ventura was deported to El Salvador four times between 2006 and 2011. According to Krumpter, he had a history of prior arrests for offenses including drunken driving, disorderly conduct, assault, false impersonation and contempt of court.
If only America had been more welcoming to Mr. Alvarado-Ventura. Needless to say, don't expect to see this horrifying story on the evening news.

Journal of Asian Martial Arts • Volume 10 Number 4 • 2001 By Jennifer Martin, B.A.
I am not the better style.
I will not teach you to kick faster
or punch harder
or catch bullets in your teeth.
Three-foot children will not go home with six-foot trophies.
I did not learn the art of war
with warriors who perch camouflaged in the grass.
I did not learn the art of war
with warriors who perch inebriated at the bar
and talk about the war.
I am not a two-year contract.
Send two hundred fifty dollars and you'll get
but a headache
and an empty wallet.
I am not your ticket to salvation
or nirvana
or the Bahamas.
I cannot teach you what that guy did
In that movie
the one with the guy who only wears black
who fights that other guy at the end
and always wins.
Five-foot men will not go home with ten-foot egos.
I will not fix your marriage
or fight your demons
or cure your habit
or control your children.
I am not an extracurricular activity.
Do not train for two months so you can put me on your Harvard application.
I will not cure your bulimia
You will still have to be there.
You still have to make choices.
You still have to face reality.
You still have to eat.
I am not the better style.
I can't advertise perfection.
I can't offer you the easy way out.
I can't offer you pleasure without pain
But I can give you confidence.
I can show you partial doorways and half-open windows
I can teach you the art of war
I can make you want to chase away your habit
I can make you want to eat.
There is no easy way out.
I can make you crave the hard road
I can sell you sanity

The Last Remaining AMC Dealership
Collier Motors, the last remaining AMC dealership is located in Pikeville, North Carolina. The dealership is owned by Robert Collier, who is the last of his family to sell American Motors cars. Though the dealership does try to sell complete cars (but mostly sells parts), the lot is now overgrown with weeds and the cars are rusted in place.

I review the greatest, most productivity capable and most desirable tablet on the market – the Surface Pro 4

Christ! My iPad has grown!
Apple is still treating me like a toddler!
When will the Apple drop?
How much longer can Apple get away with robbing its customers blind?
I have jumped ship to the LG G4
I have jumped from the Windows 10 Mobile ship and got an Android phone. I explain why and describe my new LG G4.
Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet – great but pricy
The Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet is THE premium Android tablet (at a premium price).
The iPad Pro is here – It is the Microsoft Surface 3!
The internet has been abuzz with rumours about Apple's IPad Pro all year. The Surface 3 is already here, and is faster, far more capable, and cheaper than an iPad Air 2.
Apple products are graveyards of dead UX
With one exception, all of Apple's attempts at User eXperience design equate to polishing a turd that was egested in the 1990s.
Apple, you have sold iPads for five years today!
What prompted me to climb out of my sickbed to write this and the previous article (nothing serious, I just have a cold) was that I just found out that today is not just the 40th birthday of Microsoft, but also the fifth anniversary of the Apple iPad going on sale in the United States.

Whilst Dani remains wedded to Android 5 on his Nexus 9, I have sold mine and also my iPad Mini to get an iPad Air 2.

I have been known to make the odd barbed comment about Apple devices and those who use them, so it may come as a bit of a shock to you, and indeed to me, that yesterday I quite willingly acquired an Apple iPad Mini 2. So willingly, in fact, that it took a lot of … Continue reading Christ! I have an iPad!

There is a new band in town, and they are just the good time that followers of mainstream are looking for. The name is Zero Chance, and the album is Better Days for Broken Hearts. The record is ten tracks of poppy goodness that I might recommend to listeners of Bain Mattox or The Fray, just because the vocals are slightly high and full of catchy ranges that make me want to sing along, except I don't exactly know the words yet, but I will after another listen through. This especially applies to the song "Burn My Radio," which I caught myself bobbing my head to, the sure test of whether it's breaking past the surface or not. Zero Chance passes that one.
Lead singer, Erick Bellitto, has a distinctive voice, but that doesn't mean it doesn't remind me of one of my favorite bands . . . Mae. That almost girlish sounding voice is almost like Dave Elkins' except that Bellitto approaches his songs in a less rock kind of way in a certain respect. Zero Chance is riding the wave of chicks everywhere looking for that specific song that hits them where they've been broken, and with that, I think they can really find a place here, especially since this sort of sound seems to be on the rise.
Definitely good at what they're doing, I recommend giving a listen. They have a MySpace! Who the hell doesn't have a MySpace these days? Check it out, and enjoy.

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results ++ Key Concepts ++ Epidemiology Six to ten percent of patients develop cardiogenic shock after myocardial infarction. Mitral regurgitation (MR) occurs in 8 to 50 percent of patients after myocardial infarction. Post-infarct ventricular septal defects (VSD) occurs in <0.5 percent of myocardial infarction (MI) patients. Only 24 percent of medically treated patients with post-infarct VSD survive 30 days. In autopsy series, 30 percent of myocardial infarction (MI) is accompanied by ventricular free wall rupture (VFWR). The incidence of left ventricular aneurysms depends on exact definition; 10 to 35 percent of patients will develop region of systolic akinesia or dyskinesia after transmural myocardial infarction (MI). Pathophysiology In cardiogenic shock associated with MI, worsening ventricular function leads to decreased coronary perfusion, worsening ischemia, and an enlarging infarct zone. Three primary pathologic mechanisms exist for post-infarct MR: Papillary muscle rupture Acute ischemic MR Chronic ischemic MR. Post-infarct VSD follows large transmural infarction with weakening of the septal wall. Post-infarct VSD results in left-to-right shunt of variable magnitude with diversion of blood flow from systemic to pulmonary circulation and low-cardiac-output state, ultimately into cardiogenic shock. VFWR occurs after large, transmural MI in myocardium without collaterals. Traditionally ventricular aneurysm is defined as region of myocardium exhibiting abnormal diastolic contour with systolic dyskinesia and paradoxic bulging. Ventricular remodeling after large transmural infarct leads to infract expansion and aneurysm formation. Clinical features Symptoms of systemic and coronary hypoperfusion, including cold, clammy extremities, cyanosis, oliguria, and altered sensorium. Cardiogenic shock associated with MI leads to pulmonary edema, chest pain, and shortness of breath. New holosystolic murmur best heard at the apex is noted in MR associated with MI. Post-infarct VSD typically occurs 5 to 6 days after MI Eighty percent of VFWR occur within 7 days after infarct. Subacute VFWR results in a worsening pericardial effusion and hypotension without pulseless electrical activity and cardiac arrest. Pseudoaneurysm formation from VFWR occurs approximately 3 months after MI with variable symptomatology. Commonly presents with congestive heart failure LV aneurysm commonly presents with congestive heart failure, angina, and/or dyspnea. Mural thrombus present in 50 percent of ventricular aneurysm patients at surgery. Diagnostics Invasive hemodynamic monitoring important in optimizing both coronary and systemic perfusion. Electrocardiography (ECG) confirms cardiac ischemia; chest X-ray rules out pneumothorax. Emergent echocardiography (ECHO) to rule out other mechanical causes of shock, including papillary muscle or ventricular rupture. Echocardiography (ECHO) allows evaluation of left ventricular (LV) function and mitral apparatus; can accurately diagnose pulmonary muscle (PM) rupture as well as exclude other mechanical causes of cardiovascular collapse. Location of infarct of echocardiography (ECHO) correlates with location of post-infarct VSD. ECHO is important to differentiate post-infarct VSD from acute, severe mitral regurgitation (sensitivity and specificity ~100 percent). Angiography allows delineation of coronary anatomy, estimation of ventricular aneurysm size, and guided placement of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). Rapid pericardiocentesis is both diagnostic and therapeutic for VFWR. Echocardiography (ECHO) identifies effusion with pericardial clots for VFWR; Doppler evaluation may identify rupture site. MRI may be useful in evaluating pseudoaneurysms. Treatment Medical No pharmacologic agent has ...

Well, that was fast. Today Lucasfilm announced Ron Howard will be taking over the untitled Han Solo project. This news is welcome after the bombshell announcement earlier this week when Phil Lord and Christopher Miller stepped down due to creative differences.
You can read the official statement from StarWars.com below:
Lucasfilm is pleased to announce that Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard has been named director of the untitled Han Solo film.
"At Lucasfilm, we believe the highest goal of each film is to delight, carrying forward the spirit of the saga that George Lucas began forty years ago," said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. "With that in mind, we're thrilled to announce that Ron Howard will step in to direct the untitled Han Solo film. We have a wonderful script, an incredible cast and crew, and the absolute commitment to make a great movie. Filming will resume the 10th of July."
Howard has made some of the biggest hits and most critically-acclaimed movies of the modern era. Among his many films are Lucasfilm's Willow, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind (winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director), The Da Vinci Code,Frost/Nixon, and Rush. He also narrated and produced the beloved comedy series Arrested Development, starred in George Lucas' American Graffiti, and remains a TV icon for his roles in The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days.
The untitled Han Solo film is still scheduled to premiere on May 25, 2018.
Until then, what do you think of this news? Are you for Howard? Against Howard? Let us know in the comments below.

Becoming a debtor is not a sin, but failing to clear the debt is a sin in the court of law. Those who seek Trust Deed Help & Advice needs to understand this logic before becoming debtors. However, some things happen in our life when becoming a debtor is inevitable for many people. But individuals who live in Scotland are considered to be luckier as they have the option to come out of debts through entering into trust deeds. More details about these trust deeds can be found on the website law360.com, which can be handy for the people who are eager to consolidate their debts into an affordable repayment plan which is legal in Scotland.
How People Become Victim To Debt Traps?
Money lenders who offer loans to people have different faces while operating in a competitive environment. These money lenders who offer loan to everyone at higher interest rates are found to be too soft in order to lend the money to the needy individuals who become their clients or debtors. When a debtor is unable to repay the loan due to several genuine reasons, these money lenders have some deep rooted policies in recovering the money in the most unscrupulous manner. They also act rudely in their own way before approaching the court of law. They also know that they cannot escape from the law for charging exorbitant interest rates from the debtors, which more often makes the debtors get into depression and some even try to commit suicides. Such situation happens in every country. However, the story is different in Scotland where the concept of trust deeds works well in favour of such frustrated debtors.
Trust Deeds- A Better Option
Undoubtedly, trust deed seems to be a better option for the debtors who are unable to pay their unsecured loans from the private money lenders at higher rates of interests. Trust deeds work as an alternative for the debtors to avoid the situation of becoming bankrupt. These deeds are issued by the trustees who operate the trust. In general, these trustees are Bankruptcy Practitioners who are knowledgeable about the legal aspects of financial dealings. Once a debtor enters into a trust deed, he can pay the repayment at the affordable cost for a period of agreed time which varies from one year to three years. Once the repayment is done the debtor can become debt free.
Who Is Eligible For Entering A Trust Deed?
Trust deeds in Scotland are not found suitable for every debtor. One has to fullfill some qualifying criteria in order to engage in the trust deed offered by some of the reputed trustees who are generally engaged as Insolvency Practitioners in Scotland. To get into a trust deed, a debtor has to be a permanent citizen of Scotland and should be in employment with enough disposable income to repay the regular monthly bills and other family expenses. All these details will be checked and verified by the creditors before signing the Trust Deed by both the parties. Once signed and effective these trust deeds become the protected trust deeds in the eyes of the law.

Legislative Counsel and Corporate Secretary, The ERISA Industry Committee, Washington, D.C.; Duke University, A.B. 1993; Vanderbilt University School of Law, J.D. 1997; Georgetown Law Center, LL.M. 2006. The author thanks Peter I. Elinsky for his guidance and assistance with this article. The views expressed herein are solely those of the author, and not the ERISA Industry Committee or its members.
For decades, nonqualified deferred compensation plans were subject to limited government regulation. However, in the last five years these plans have received considerable scrutiny from both Congress and the Department of Treasury (Treasury). This scrutiny culminated in the passage of section 409A, the first comprehensive Code provision to regulate nonqualified deferred compensation plans. Under the initial administrative guidance issued pursuant to the statute, certain forms of equity compensation received different treatment under section 409A. In particular, private-company stock appreciation rights (SARs), which are equity appreciation rights in employer stock, were made subject to the new rules, while certain public-company SARs and stock options were exempted. Attempts were made to correct this inequity in the proposed regulations published in October 2005; however, the morass of rules, restrictions, and caveats related to the valuation of private-company stock under the proposed regulations still make SARs an unattractive deferred compensation tool for privately-held companies.
This paper begins with a brief review of the history of nonqualified deferred compensation and related law, including the passage into law of new section 409A through the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. 1 Next, the paper specifically examines the treatment of SARs under section 409A's regulatory history, under the statute itself, and in the initial guidance on section 409A issued by Treasury in December 2004. Finally, the paper reviews the treatment of SARs under the October 2005 proposed regulations and the practical effects of the proposed regulations on privately-held company SARs. This review reveals that when the only viable presumed-reasonable method for valuing privately-held company stock under the proposed section 409A regulations is applied in light of current law regarding formula prices and nonlapse restrictions, private-company SARs are still severely, and perhaps fatally, disadvantaged when compared to SARs issued by public companies.

The photo was shot using a NIKON D3S camera at an aperture of f/4, 1/400 sec. shutter speed and ISO 400. AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR lens was used to capture the image. Flash did not fire.. The original image file has a resolution of 2048 x 1365 pixels, or in other words 2.8 megapixels.The photo has a resolution of 600 DPI and occupies a disk space of 1.07 megabytes.
According to the image metadata, the photo was shot on Wednesday 17th of October 2012. The local time was 09:21:47. The timezone was Europe / Monaco, which is GMT +02:00. Please note that timezone was guessed using the GPS coordinates and may not be accurate. The EXIF timestamp may also be wrong if the date and time weren't set correctly in the digital camera.
NIKON D3S camera has a built-in GPS receiver and allows geotagging on image files. The coordinates and location where the photo was taken is stored in the EXIF. According to GPS data analysis, the photo was taken at coordinates 43° 55' 5.14" N , 5° 3' 9.13" E. The elevation was 71 meters. Using reverse geocoding, the address associated with the coordinates is guessed as 1 Esplanade Robert Vasse, 84800 L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, France. Depending on the GPS receiver and the reception conditions the accuracy may vary and the address should not be regarded as exact location.

I don't think the shim makes any difference between the gap between the up and downshift levers, it simply moves both levers closer to the drops. I may be wrong but on my Dura Ace (which has a screw to do this), that's what happens.
Ok, here's a simple question. I just bought the PI Lobster gloves. They're fantastic except for one thing. When shifting to a smaller gear the "glove fingers" are too thick and there's no space between the front of the drops where the levers mount and the small shift lever. I'm usually moving both levers at the same time when I'm trying to shift. I'm assuming if I take the brake lever shim out that this will help somewhat. Am I correct on this and if so, does the shim just lift out or is it secured somehow? The ultegra techdocs weren't very clear on this.
