( Reuters) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday blocked microchip maker Broadcoms proposed takeover of Qualcomm on national security grounds, ending what would have been the technology industrys biggest deal ever amid concerns that it would give China the upper hand in mobile communications. The presidential order reflected a calculation that the United States lead in creating technology and setting standards for the next generation of mobile cell phone communications would be lost to China if Singapore-based Broadcom took over San Diego-based Qualcomm, according to a White House official. Qualcomm has emerged as one of the biggest competitors to Chinas Huawei Technologies Co [HWT.UL] in the sector, making Qualcomm a prized asset. Qualcomm had earlier rebuffed Broadcoms $117 billion bid, which was under investigation by the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a multi-agency panel led by the Treasury Department that reviews the national security implications of acquisitions of U.S. corporations by foreign companies. In a letter on March 5, CFIUS said it was investigating whether Broadcom would starve Qualcomm of research dollars that would allow it to compete and also cited the risk of Broadcoms relationship withthird party foreign entities. While it did not identify those entities, the letter repeatedly described Qualcomm as the leading company in so-called 5G technology development and standard setting. A shift to Chinese dominance in 5G would have substantial negative national security consequences for the United States, CFIUS said. While the United States remains dominant in the standards-setting space currently, China would likely compete robustly to fill any void left by Qualcomm as a result of this hostile takeover. A White House official on Monday confirmed that the national security concerns related to the risks of Broadcoms relationship with third party foreign entities. A source familiar with CFIUS thinking had said that, if the deal was completed, the U.S. military was concerned that within 10 years,there would essentially be a dominant player in all of these technologies and thats essentially Huawei, and then the American carriers would have no choice. They would just have to buy Huawei (equipment).Huawei has been forging closer commercial ties with big telecom operators across Europe and Asia, putting it in prime position to lead the global race for 5G networks despite U.S. concerns. Huawei has a dominant position in China, which is set to become the worlds biggest 5G market by far, and has also made inroads in the rest of world to compete with rivals such as Ericsson (ERICb.ST) and Nokia (NOKIA.HE) in several lucrative markets, including countries that are longstanding U.S. allies. Qualcomm is also a major player in 5G, estimated to have 15 percent of 5G-essential patents in the world, compared with 11 percent for Nokia and 10 percent for all of China, according to a Jefferies report citing LexInnova research. Many smartphone makers are counting on Qualcomm to deliver its 5G chipset on time in late 2018 to roll out their 5G phones in 2019. Shares of Broadcom rose less than 1.0 percent to $264.10 in after-hours trade while Qualcomm fell 4.3 percent to $60.14. Broadcom said it was reviewing the presidential order. Broadcom strongly disagrees that its proposed acquisition of Qualcomm raises any national security concerns, it said in a statement in response to the decision. Qualcomm, which had delayed its annual shareholder meeting during the CFIUS review, set the new date for March 23. The move by Trump to kill the deal comes only months after the U.S. president himself stood next to Broadcom Chief Executive Hock Tan at the White House, announcing the companys decision to move its headquarters to the United States and calling itone of the really great, great companies. This is the fifth time a U.S. president has blocked a deal based on CFIUS objections and the second deal Trump has stopped since assuming office slightly over a year ago. The proposed takeover of Qualcomm by the Purchaser (Broadcom) is prohibited, and any substantially equivalent merger, acquisition, or takeover, whether effected directly or indirectly, is also prohibited, the presidential order released on Monday said. The order citedcredible evidence that led Trump to believe that Broadcoms taking control of Qualcommmight take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States. Broadcom had struggled to complete its proposed deal to buy Qualcomm, which had cited several concerns including the price offered and potential antitrust hurdles. The presidential decision to block the deal cannot be appealed. However, it is not clear what rules Broadcom would have to follow if it goes ahead with announced plans to move its headquarters to the United States. Companies may challenge CFIUSs jurisdiction in court but may not challenge the inter-agency panels national security findings, a CFIUS expert said. If Broadcom decides to press on with its effort to buy Qualcomm, it would be wise to drop the matter for now while the company quietly wraps up its move to the United States, a second CFIUS expert said. Once the move is done, Broadcom could argue that CFIUS does not have jurisdiction, the second expert said. Both spoke privately to protect business relationships.
Last week, Treasury official argued deal would let China dominate 5G development. Had the proposed deal gone through, it would have allowed the Singapore-based Broadcom to purchase the San Diego-based Qualcomm for $117 billion. The hostile takeover also would have been the biggest deal in the history of the tech industry. The order, which did not fully explain on what basis the president made this assessment, suggests that the Trump administration is willing to protect American companies against foreign competitors even more than some had realized. Trump recently ordered that tariffs on imported steel and aluminum be put in place, propping up those American industries. Trump's executive order comes a week after the Department of the Treasurys Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States came to a similar conclusion. In a four-page letter, Aimen N. Mir, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Investment Security, wrote that the national security concerns stem from the fact that: ...a weakening of Qualcomms position would leave an opening for China to expand its influence on the 5G standard-setting process. Chinese companies, including Huawei, have increased their engagement in 5G standardization working groups as part of their efforts to build out a 5G technology. For example, Huawei has increased its expenditures and owns about 10 percent of 5G essential patents. While the United States remains dominant in the standards-setting space currently, China would likely compete robustly to fill any void left by Qualcomm as a result of this hostile takeover. Broadcom is expected to lessen Qualcomms research and development in favor of short-term profitability — in other words, China cant be given the opportunity to dominate 5G, Mir suggested. Non-Qualcomm SoCs usually require a separate modem, which takes up more space in the already tight smartphone design. In short, non-Qualcomm-powered phones are generally inferior and more expensive to make. On November 2, 2017, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan appeared with Trump at the White House and promised to "re-domicile" the company in Delaware. (The company, while officially based in Singapore, is currently co-headquartered in San Jose, California.) "I am American, as are nearly all my direct managers, my board members, and over 90 percent of my shareholders," Tan said. "So today, we are announcing that we are making America home again. Thank you. Our commitment to re-domicile into the United States is a huge reaffirmation to our shareholders, to the 7,500 employees we have across 24 states in America today, that America is once again the best place to lead a business with a global footprint. Thanks to you, Mr. President, business conditions have steadily improved." However, such a move does not appear to have taken place. Adding to the intrigue, last Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Intel is interested in buying Broadcom. In a two-sentence statement issued Monday evening after the executive order, Broadcom wrote: "Broadcom is reviewing the order. Broadcom strongly disagrees that its proposed acquisition of Qualcomm raises any national security concerns."

Since Kev decided to spend our vacation money (plus some) on these...
(Which we bought used and so far still haven't gotten one of them working-it has been over a month-so frustrating!!!) We didn't really have money to spend on a vacation this Summer. Therefore, we decided to spend a few days camping at St. Andrews Park in PC Beach, Florida. ($28 a night, can't beat that price for a beach stay!!)
It was perfect! Time to escape from the rest of the world and sleep, read, play in the ocean and spend time together. I didn't take but a few pictures, and none of the beach (sorry!) but here are a few of how we spent our time!
On the trip down I quilted my mini quilt for the Mini Quilt Challenge from the Atlanta Modern Quilt Guild. (I love it!!-I will have more pictures soon, because I got the binding sewn on last night and I think it looks pretty good if I do say so myself!!)
We did a bit of shopping (and Kevin bought me new "nice" sunglasses-I don't think I have ever owned a pair of sunglasses that cost more than $10-and that was when I was spending the big bucks too!! Most of my sunglasses have come from the dollar store!!) I will have to be extra careful that I don't drop these in the toilet. (That is how a lot of my sunglasses have been retired. I put them on my head when I go inside and then they slide off into the toilet when I am putting down paper at a public restroom! Oops!!)
One of the places at Pier Park we saw was the Beer Garden, which reminded us of our wonderful trip to Germany last Fall!!
Kev ate at this BBQ place that had this too cute pig out front that I had to get a picture with!!

I can't wait to see more pics. So glad you are home safe - maybe in the next year or two we can join you. Put my boys outside in a tent!
Love the sunglasses, and the "almost" smile from Kevin. It's so funny to me that the photographer didn't get any pictures on vacation! You two are hilarious.

MET GALA 2014 – Best Dressed
I could not let such an important event pass by without stating my opinion. It is after all the most important Event in fashion history and this years theme Charles James: Beyond Fashion and there was a mention of "decorations". Charles James was an amazing designer back in the day, he was one of the firsts to design hot couture garments which were very dramatic, feminine and yet classy. Let's start with the best dressed of the night, they are in no particular order so go ahead and pick your favorite.
Beyonce wore this beautiful shimmery and sheer black gown by Givenchy. What makes this dress unique is the fabric, it is simply devine, I personally didn't like the peplum but other than than it is simply fantastic.
Kim Kardashian
Finally Kim got it right in this beautiful blue and black Lanvin dress. Last year it was a disaster with that floral hilarious gown, so this year she definitely made up for it. It truly hugged her curves in the write places without looking slutty. So well done Kim.
Blake Lively
This Gucci dress on Blake's Lively immaculate body looked exceptional. She looked like a true Hollywood star, the dress hair and make up screamed Hollywood. The dress hugs her beautiful body in all the right places that makes me insanely jealous of her. 😛
I don't usually like what Rihanna wears but she definitely looked fabulous in this white Stella McCarthney dress. It highlights her caramel tones torso while still being elegant and chic.
Cara Delevigne
Cara is a young and vibrant model, so I wouldn't have imagined anyone else to pull off this look. The outfit is also by Stella McCarthney and even though I wouldn't have imagined it for the MET gala, with her body and well done hair and some nice jewelry she truly pulled it off.
Giselle Bunchen
I am in love with lace, so of course this Balenciaga dress is definitely one of my favorites. I think black on a light complexion looks flawless and sexy, so thumps up Giselle.
Amber Heard
This Giambattista Valli dess looked gorgous on Amber, I do think she looked a bit pale with this dress but I can't deny that it fits her to perfection.
There were many beautiful dress but these are the dresses that truly caught my attention. I will do another quick post of my least favorites and that shall be hilarious :P, so keep posted guys 🙂
Would love your opinion of what is your favorite dress

Complex Mission Hampers U.S. Effort
CAMP SENDAI, Japan—The series of disasters that has befallen Japan since March 11 has complicated the U.S. military aid effort, as cooperation with Japan's government, inclement weather and a radiation fears have hampered the humanitarian mission.
U.S. military aid missions, such as the one last year to quake-devastated Haiti, are routine. And while Operation Tomodachi (Japanese for "friend"), using the many American troops already based in Japan, has delivered tons of aid and equipment to those hardest hit by the destructive forces of nature in Japan, the magnitude-9.0 earthquake, ensuing tsunami and especially the unfolding nuclear-power crisis have weighed on the U.S. armed forces relief mission.
Earthquake in Japan
See all the graphics on the situation in Japan -- from before and after photos to the status of the reactors to survivors' stories.
The first U.S. Marines Corps humanitarian assistance survey teams, or HAST, raced north from bases in the southernmost Japanese prefecture of Okinawa early on the day after the quake. Just a few hours after notice of their deployment, they arrived primed and ready at bases outside Tokyo. But it wasn't until Wednesday that the first of four teams was sent to northern Japan, and then only to deliver a few loads of bottled water shipped out of Yokota Air Force Base, along with donated food trucked in by Japanese from other parts of the country.
One clue to the delay: As the first Marine HAST team waited on the tarmac in Yokota to board a troop transport, a specially equipped U.S. Air Force plane carrying radiation-detection equipment taxied by after having flown in close proximity to the two damaged nuclear plants.
The plane was "hot," in the words of one U.S. military aviation officer, using jargon for something on which radiation has been detected.
Reactor Monitor
Survivors' Stories
Japan Quake's Effects
The U.S. military's attention was divided between two separate missions: the well-publicized humanitarian effort and a quieter campaign to assess the extent of leakage from Japan's troubled coastal reactors.
On Sunday, the pace of assistance picked up as three U.S. Marine KC-130J cargo planes carrying water and supplies became the first flights to land at Sendai airport since it closed after the earthquake struck.
In addition, four Marine Sea Knight helicopters flew out of a U.S. Navy base in Atsugi near Tokyo with 18 pallets of clothing and two pallets of food to Yamada Radar Site, north of Sendai. On Saturday, six of the helicopters delivered 76 barrels of kerosene to several distribution points north of Sendai.
The frustration with the delay was evident Thursday when the Marine commander in charge of the relief effort insisted the show would go on, nuclear crisis or not. "We expect to deliver more water, more blankets and more food sources once we get our hands on them," Col. Greg Timberlake, forward commander of the III Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Sendai in northern Japan, said.
The first Marine detachment sent to Camp Sendai, which lies just over 80 kilometers 50 miles north of the radiation-spewing power plants, came unprepared for the snowstorms, lacking standard-issue winter parkas and insulated boots. But the outfit was well-equipped with hand-held radiation detectors, full body suits with breathing hoods and ample supplies of potassium iodide, a preventive against radiation poisoning of the thyroid gland.
A map of Japan on the wall of the U.S. Marine officers' headquarters at Camp Sendai bore a large red circle indicating the 50-mile-radius "no-fly zone" around the nuclear power facilities, which are located between Tokyo and the tsunami-stricken north. The atmosphere was tense in the Marine officers' makeshift "war room"—a recess in a hallway of the local Japanese staff officers' headquarters building.
In one sign of the stress as the nuclear crisis unfolded, an American official helping to coordinate activities with the Japanese Self Defense Forces grew teary-eyed when discussing these cooperative efforts. To be sure, that official said the two militaries were largely on the same wavelength. But otherU.S. and Japanese military sources said language, protocol and cultural barriers had proved more daunting than expected, especially for two close allies.
Even so, it came against a backdrop of higher level joint U.S.-Japan efforts to prevent a nuclear meltdown.
More Coverage
In addition to advice from American experts sent by President Barack Obama, the U.S. military has provided Japan's Self Defense Forces with equipment to help cool exposed nuclear fuel rods. But that initiative, along with the dispatch of American nuclear experts to Japan, has been separate from the humanitarian aid-focused Operation Tomodachi.
The commander of the U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet, which is based in Japan, noted the difficulty posed by carrying out humanitarian operations amid the threat of a nuclear meltdown.
"We are dealing with a disaster of enormous scale, in a challenging environment where we have to contend with the reality of radiological contamination," wrote Vice Adm. Scott Van Buskirk in a posting on his Facebook page on Saturday. "It creates complications in our planning and execution, but I am more confident each day that we have the ability to manage and mitigate this risk without endangering the health of our people."

Former and current coaches say the sky is the limit for Danny Johnson.
He's a father, electrical engineering major and freshman cornerback and punt/kick returner for the Jaguars.
"I think he's done a great job, stepping in as a freshman and playing college football for the first time," head coach Dawson Odums said. "He's made a lot of great plays for us. He just continues to get better. We're going to need him to play well down the stretch."
He's an explosive, quick and talented athlete whose impressive plays stood out during his first season on The Bluff, but his coaches commend his character at every possible chance.
"He was a phenomenal player for us, but one of the best things I can say about him is as good as he is an athlete, he's even as good or better as a person," said Cedric Anderson, Johnson's high school football coach.
At East Feliciana High School, his positions ranged from wide receiver and cornerback to punter and return specialist. Early in his senior year, he was tasked with playing quarterback in a rebuilding season and led the team to a second-round playoff finish.
As a high school sophomore, Anderson named Johnson one of the team's War Leaders, otherwise known as team captains. Anderson said Johnson's responsibility and work ethic at a young age influenced the decision.
"He had loads of potential, and you could see it," Anderson said. "Most kids, they have the potential, but they didn't want to put in the work. He had the potential, he put in the work and he did anything extra he could to become better in all positions."
Along with Southern, Johnson was recruited by Nicholls, McNeese, Southeastern, UL-Lafayette, Air Force, Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Grambling.
Despite the numerous offers, Jackson is only 30 minutes from Southern, so the choice for Danny was easy. He chose Southern to be close to his family and son, Aiden, who Johnson had as an underclassman.
"He was highly recruited, and he chose to come to Southern so he could stay around his son," Richardson said. "That's really what he plays for every Saturday."
During his first season at Southern, Johnson has returned 10 kicks for 349 yards and one touchdown, three interceptions for 75 yards and three punts for 45 yards. He's also tallied 35 tackles and 11 pass breakups, which ranks second in the Southwestern Athletic Conference for passes defensed.
Johnson stood out to teammates and coaches during fall camp and began the season as a back up. When Kevin King became academically ineligible early in the season, Johnson had his chance to start.
"Once you start playing, you're really not a freshman anymore," Jaleel Richardson said. "He took on the role really well, he owned up to his responsibilities, and he's really showing out.
Defensive backs and special teams coach Marty Biagi said Johnson is the typical kind of student-athlete in high school Southern tries to recruit. His athleticism partnered with his ability to be able to handle the playbook gave Biagi the confidence that Johnson was ready to play.
"He has the one thing all coaches wish they had in players; he has the want to," Biagi said. "No matter what he puts his mind to, he wants to do it well 100 percent of the time. And that's sometimes hard to find nowadays in this profession. He wants to do the right thing all the time, and when you're doing those kind of things, the sky is the limit for you."

Breaking News
V.P. Candidate Dick Cheney Hospitalized with Chest and Shoulder PainsAired November 22, 2000 - 7:52 a.m. ET
CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: We have confirmed word that vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney has been hospitalized because of chest and shoulder pains.
We now go by telephone CNN's producer Mike Roselli, who is standing by in Austin, Texas.
Mike, I understand you have more recent information about how Dick Cheney is doing?
MIKE ROSELLI, CNN PRODUCER: Yes. I just talked to the governor's press secretary, communications director Karen Hughes, and she says that Secretary Cheney is now free of discomfort at George Washington Hospital in downtown Washington. He was admitted overnight, complaining of chest and shoulder discomfort, but many of the tests that they gave him showed that his EKG showed no change, and that some blood work came back normal.
So he is still in the hospital, but he is free of discomfort at this hour.
LIN: Mike, did Karen indicate to you that any sort of explanation, has he been under a lot of stress because of the recount in Florida?
ROSELLI: No, she didn't indicate that, but you know one could assume that that could lead to those stress problems. He has had a history of very serious heart problems.
LIN: Could you tell us a little bit more about that history, Mike, and remind us?
ROSELLI: I don't want to tell you too much because I don't have it all in front of me, but I know he has had several open heart surgeries, he has had heart attacks, and he did have a lot of stress during the Gulf War. But before he was named as a vice presidential candidate, they did a lot of tests, and all of his doctors said everything was A-OK.
LIN: That's right. He got a clean bill of health.
ROSELLI: That's correct. LIN: Mike, how do you think this is going to affect the Bush campaign's strategy in terms of how aggressive they are in fighting this issue of the dimpled ballots and also taking the Florida Supreme Court ruling and taking it to the Florida state legislature to get them to change the rules back?
ROSELLI: Well, that is sort of hard to tell. I do know recently that Governor Bush and Secretary Cheney have been working on other matters and leaving a lot of the legal discussions to Secretary Baker in Florida. I know Cheney has been involved with those talks, but I am not sure to what degree they discuss dimpled ballots and such.
LIN: Why did he go back to Washington and is not in Austin, Texas with George W. Bush?
ROSELLI: Most of his family lives in the Washington area, it is Thanksgiving, and he was going to spend the weekend, Thanksgiving weekend with his family up in the Washington area.
LIN: All right, thank you very much, Mike Roselli, our CNN Washington producer, standing by an Austin, Texas with George W. Bush's campaign people -- Linda.
LINDA STOUFFER, CNN ANCHOR: And again, just to update you, Secretary Dick Cheney in the hospital in the Washington area. He had chest and shoulder discomfort, but is now said to be comfortable.
We want to bring in Tony Clark right now. He is an Austin, Texas with the Bush campaign.
Tony, what are folks there saying?
TONY CLARK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: As Mike said, Karen Hughes described him as being free of discomfort at this point, and I think that is the most encouraging thing. And I think we would expect to hear some additional comments throughout the morning about his condition.
You know, it was -- it is Dick Cheney that Governor Bush has named to oversee the transition. So he has that kind of stress on him. There is the potential for stress because of the court battles that have been going on, the uncertainty about whether he will be part of the new administration or not.
And even though the Gore, or rather, the Bush campaign has tried to present an air of normalcy, a business as usual, there is, I think everyone would imagine, a great amount of stress that is underneath it at this point. And so I think this simply is just another sign of the kinds of pressure that these candidates are under while they wait for the results of Florida -- Linda.
STOUFFER: And Tony, if you could talk about this for a moment. Obviously, Governor George W. Bush knew about Dick Cheney's past medical problems when he chose him as a running mate, any thoughts on that? CLARK: Yes. In fact, you know, that was one of the thoughts that came up early on was because of his past history of heart problems. But he also had a check up before he was named the vice presidential running mate. He was given a clean bill of health. He has campaigned very vigorously over the past months with no signs of any problems. So this is really the first time during the campaign that I know of that we have seen any kind of a medical problem come up.
And again, I think it is important to stress what Karen Hughes told Mike Roselli, our producer, earlier this morning that the tests came back good, the cardiac enzymes were normal, the EKG showed no change, and that Dick Cheney is free from discomfort, although he is remaining in the hospital. Obviously they want to keep a close eye on him because any time you have chest and shoulder pains, and a history of heart problems, as he does, they want to watch him very closely. But I think the thing that is, as I say, important to stress is that he currently, according to Karen Hughes, is free of discomfort at this point -- Linda.
STOUFFER: Absolutely, Tony, that part of it is good news. A lot of folks there, no doubt, thinking about him and his wife and family today -- Carol.
LIN: And we just want to do a quick recap for our audience. In case you're just tuning ins, breaking news here, vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney, suffering from chest and shoulder pains, has been admitted to George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C. He is resting comfortably. And so far all of the initial and, frankly, the most critical tests indicating whether he had a heart attack or not are all coming back showing very normal signs, including his blood work.
We will have much more on the story as we continue our coverage of the status of vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney in the next hour of EARLY EDITION. But I want to thank Linda for joining me. Leon Harris is going to come on set in just a few minutes.
STOUFFER: Good to be here. Have a good day.

POMFRET — The Pyne dormitory at Pomfret School recently became a mobile home.
The 600-ton brick building built in 1906 is being moved 750 feet across campus to make room for an academic center to be built this fall. The school wanted to put the 20,000-square-foot academic center on that spot to keep it close to the other academic buildings.

It's a horror-ble time of year.
Pardon the pun, but I love these last few weeks in October. It's the best time to watch scary movies. I just get can't get enough, from classic Universal horror icons Frankenstein and Dracula to Freddy, Michael and Jason, I love them all. Nothing beats grabbing a bowl of popcorn, turning the lights down low, and putting on a scary movie. But don't blame me if you have a nightmare.

THE BIG question hanging over "The Blair Witch Project" is simple but devastatingly effective.
What happened to the three friends, Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard and Michael Williams, who dove deep into the Maryland woods in search of witches and never returned?
The date was Oct. 21, 1994, according to the opening titles. It's always creepier with a date, isn't it? You can almost hear Robert Stack's voice in the narration, as the titles also inform us: "One year later, their footage was found."
The trio in the movie -- led by Donahue (and portraying themselves) -- was trying to make a documentary about the Blair Witch, a spirit believed to be haunting this sparsely inhabited corner of Maryland's Black Hills Forest.
But all that remains of their five-day trek into the heart of darkness is the footage in Leonard's 16mm camera and Donahue's High-8 video. Which we get to watch.
Well, what happened?
You won't find out by reading this. But I will say "Blair" was a good college try of a flick -- as good an effort as one could expect of a film with no budget, one pretty good idea and a few creative minds trying to come up with an MTV-age campfire movie. Imagine a collaboration between George "Night of the Living Dead" Romero and the makers of "The Real World."
Donahue is the director of this witch-finding documentary, a young, idealistic person with a fairly good idea of the history behind the Blair Witch. Too bad she's not too hot with scouting skills.
Before embarking into the woods, Donahue and crew interview the locals, who have heard a story or two about that Witch Up There. That's another essential ingredient in a horror flick -- the creepy past that preceded all this. Good stuff!
With these veiled, anecdotal warnings, the film crew -- young, ambitious and dude-like -- heads straight for the heart of darkness.
Or Maryland, anyway. Although they have a map and compass, they become hopelessly lost. As they realize how unmoored they are, their initial good humor becomes fraught with anxiety, tears, disbelief, boredom, depression and occasional yelling.
Was that the same log bridge across the creek they saw hours earlier? Do they go south or east now? What are those noises outside their tents at night? What happened to the smokes? As they become increasingly frayed and freaked, we start preparing for the worst. And that's where I'm leaving it.
"The Blair Witch Project" is certainly assured and savvy enough for the government work that we romantically refer to as "American Independent Moviemaking." I was hooked on its creepy possibilities right through to the end. What's good about this film is the way its actual creators -- Ed Sanchez, Dan Myrick and Gregg Hale -- use ellipses and suggestion to make our minds do most of the work. Most of the time, it's what the three witch-searchers don't see -- but fear -- that gets our petrified juices flowing or curdling. This is low-tech inventiveness at its best. And that, surely, is what campfire storytelling is all about.
THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (R, 88 minutes) -- Contains macabre material and strong language. At the Cineplex Odeon Outer Circle.
CAPTION: Heather Donahue turns the camera on herself in "The Blair Witch Project."

Product Description
This book is intended, in the first place, as a contribution to comparative theology. An attempt is made to set forth the relation of Christianity to Judaism, not only by way of contrast but also by way of comparison. The scope of inquiry is limited to the Sermon on the Mount, which is undoubtedly the most important document of Christianity.

My love for all things French lives on! When I found this beauty, I made a beeline for her immediately. She was a little rough when I found her, but that's the way I like 'em. I enjoy when I find something not so pretty – I find this motivates me to beautify it – it is a challenge to me. I believe there is potential is every piece.
I see things differently than that average bear I suppose.
I see things differently than that average bear I suppose.
Let me explain…
Here she is in all her glory…
lots of potential here!
The caning on this chair is really nice overall and
she has excellent bones!
Not yet pretty though.
A little paint and some new fabric and DADA!
She's beautified!
And yes, she is going to the Blessed Nest.
These pieces we redo get harder and harder to let go of.
Good thing my house is small or I may be tempted to keep them all!
Have a blessed day and thanks for visiting!

Pictured (l-r) Niall Browne - Chief Executive Dawn Meats, Charlie Coakley - Group Environmental Sustainability Manager with Dawn Meats
Friday 15th November – Last night in Dublin, Waterford-based Dawn Meats was awarded the Sustainability Award at the prestigious Bord Bia Food and Drink Awards 2013. The awards, which are held every two years, are designed to reward excellence within the Irish food and drink industry. This year, there were in excess of 140 entries across seven categories which were judged by an independent judging panel.
As part of its drive to increase sustainability in its processing within the Origin Green programme, Dawn Meats is working to reduce water use by 40%, reduce energy consumption by 40% and to reduce its direct carbon footprint by 50%.
Commenting on the award, Niall Browne, CEO of Dawn Meats said, "We are delighted that our commitment to sustainable processing has been recognised by Bord Bia this evening. We view sustainability as an imperative ingredient to our future success as a company, and we are delighted to play a role in supporting the Origin Green journey."
This is Dawn Meats' second prestigious win in the last week, following its success at the Green Apple Environment Award in the United Kingdom where it has operations in England, Scotland and Wales. The Green Apple Awards are designed to find the greenest companies, councils and communities operating in Europe.
Dawn Meats competed against more than 500 other nominations to receive a Green Apple Environmental Award - the National Green Champion (Ireland) - at a glittering presentation ceremony in the House of Commons. This is the highest honour awarded and there is only one awarded per country. Key environmental deliverables by Dawn Meats in 2012/13 included: reducing water intake by 56m litres across four sites; reduced thermal energy consumption of between 50 and 80% across multiple sites; construction of a 7 acre wetland and eco park and 80-100% post consumer recycled content of packaging.
Headquartered in Grannagh, Co Waterford, Dawn Meats employs over 2,700 staff and supplies a wide range of meat products to customers in over 40 countries worldwide.

EA has laid out the goodies coming to its twin subscription services EA Access and Origin Access today, and most notable amongst them is the addition of sci-fi RPG Mass Effect: Andromeda to the vault of free games.
At some stage between now and the end of the year, EA will be adding the space-faring game to the collection of titles EA Access and Origin Access subscribers can play for free without limits. While we weren't completely blown away by Andromeda when we reviewed it, developer BioWare has rolled out numerous patches over the last several months improving the more serious technical issues we encountered.
Along with Andromeda joining the vault of free games, EA will be giving subscribers early access to Star Wars Battlefront II and Need for Speed Payback with the Play First trial feature, allowing you to play up to 10 hours of each game prior to their release.
Last of all, a Play First trial for The Sims 4 will be hitting EA Access for Xbox One subscribers, along with the addition of the grim survival horror game Dead Space 3 to the EA Access free game vault.
For those unfamiliar with EA Access and Origin Access, both are subscription services that get you access to a collection of EA and EA partner games you can play for free at any time, along with early access trials of upcoming EA games. EA Access is the name for the service on Xbox One, while Origin Access is the name of the PC version of the service.

Several months after launching Windows 10 Windows 10 Release Day: Everything You Need to Know Windows 10 Release Day: Everything You Need to Know The final version of Windows will be released on July 29th, but a lot of things remain nebulous. We have compiled the answers to the most frequently asked questions around Windows 10 and its release. Read More , Microsoft is finally ready to release a version optimized for use on mobile devices. Windows Phone is dead MakeUseOf Says Goodbye To Windows Phone MakeUseOf Says Goodbye To Windows Phone This is going to be a tearful goodbye, buddy, but it has to happen. MakeUseOf will soon be parting ways with Windows Phone. Read More , soon to be replaced by Windows 10 Mobile. So, we want to know whether Microsoft latest mobile operating system holds any interest for you. Welcome to this week's MakeUseOf Poll.
Facebook Fails
To answer this week's question please scroll down the page until you see the poll staring back at you. But first, we need to look at the results from two weeks ago, when we asked, "What Do You Do When Facebook Is Down? What Do You Do When Facebook Is Down? [MakeUseOf Poll] What Do You Do When Facebook Is Down? [MakeUseOf Poll] Facebook is one of the cornerstones of the Internet, and five minutes of downtime can cause mayhem. And panic. And mass hysteria. So, what do you do when Facebook goes down? Read More "
Out of a total of 233 votes, 55.8% chose Nothing, I Don't Care About Facebook, 8.2% chose Turn to Twitter, 7.3% chose Panic, 5.2% chose Turn to Google+, 5.2% chose What Is This Facebook Thing?, 5.2% chose Meet Real People for a Change, and 13.3% chose Other.
These results strongly suggest that most of our readers really don't care about Facebook. A small majority literally said as much, and the rest really don't mind too much when Facebook is down. Some go to Twitter, some go to Google+, some even head outside. We even suspect that the 7.3 percent who suggest they panic when Facebook goes down are having us on. We hope.
Comment of the Week
We received a lot of great comments, including those from Susan Bellwood, R A Myers, and fcd76218. Comment of the Week goes to Peter Fitzsimmons, who earns our admiration and affection for this comment What Do You Do When Facebook Is Down? [MakeUseOf Poll] What Do You Do When Facebook Is Down? [MakeUseOf Poll] Facebook is one of the cornerstones of the Internet, and five minutes of downtime can cause mayhem. And panic. And mass hysteria. So, what do you do when Facebook goes down? Read More :
I selected other for two reasons.
Facebook has just stopped working as I type this…. What does MUO know that the rest of us don't?!?!?!?
Firstly: I logged on to MUO via my G+ account (see, it DOES have its uses!)
Secondly: Make the wife a hot cup of tea and tell her to stop panicking. Candy Crush will still be there in the morning.
Being over 35, Facebook is a tool I only use to keep in touch with friends since I moved away 5 years ago.
Other than that, I have very little need for it as a social network.
I am still an avid user of G+ and rely on Twitter for keeping up to date with the events of the day (it's also how I found out Facebook wasn't working).
We chose this comment because it hints at some differences between the generations. While this is undoubtedly generalizing, there is a tendency for younger people to have much stronger attachments to the social network du jour. Whether that's still Facebook or not is another debate for another day.

Im a former Android user. I have using my lumia 930- phone for about 6 months now with windows 10 technical preview update. sometimes it has some issues with phone app, but apart from that its a very user friendly and easy OS to adept. also having a windows 10 tablet and they are working and syncing flawlessly. i like the way windows phone 10 build and structured.
actually no need of lots of applications like IOS or android since windows phone has all the essential apps i used.
I give a blanket recommendation to Windows phones for people who express interest in smartphones but for whom Android might be overwhelming. Microsoft gets basic phone and messaging technologies right, Windows phone tend to be quality hardware and its OS is vastly more competent than Apple's. Windows 10 Mobile may change a few details but in broad strokes all of those things will continue to be true.
I have a windows phone but won't be accepting the update to Windows 10. It seems to destroy many of the things I like most about Windows Phone.
No Win 10 Mobile for me. I am happy with Android for my phone and tablet, just as I am happy with Win 7 for desktop.
For my personal use, I just don't see the big deal about using just one OS across all devices. My Win 7 and my Android both can open/read/edit/save my data files (office, pdf, jpg, mp3, etc.) - so why not use the best/most versatile OS for each respective device? After all, even limiting oneself to just Windows for all devices, you'd still have "different look and feel and user experience" to deal with when using desktop vs tablet vs phone!
I've been using a Lumia 928 for two years and like the way the phone syncs with my laptop and outlook. I like Windows 10 on the laptop. I want to have Win 10 on my phone so that all the apps are compatible and hope the apps now only available for Android and Apple will work on the Windows phone like Microsoft is claiming. I think the Windows phone is easier to use than the Droid I used to have. I prefer Microsoft over Google for productivity apps.
My family uses W10 on 2 SurfacePro devices and a desktop. It just makes sense to use the same OS everywhere. W10M phones are getting rave technical reviews even if they aren't fashionably trending (who cares?). I love the fact that if I lose or break any of my W10 devices, that all my data is safe on One Drive. I constantly hear of friends losing alll their contacts because they dropped their phone in the pool. That simply doesn't have to happen any more.
I have not been so excited about a new smartphone device since I purchased my Nokia Lumia 925. I use Windows 10 on a PC and love it. I don't see how the combination of a 950 and Windows 10 could be a bad decision. I'm ready.

Horror as boy 'kills neighbour, 8, because she didn't let him play with puppy'
A YOUNG boy allegedly shot his eight-year-old neighbour to death in a furious row over her puppy.
The 11-year-old boy reportedly pulled the trigger on McKayla Dyer after she refused to let him play with her dog.
Cops refused to name both children but Latasha Dyer confirmed that her daughter was killed.
Distraught Dyer said: "She was a precious little girl. She was a mommy's girl.
"No matter how bad of a mood you were in, she could always make you smile."
According to cops each child had a puppy.
Officer Bud McCoig said the boy "wanted to see the see the 8-year-old's, and she said no, and then he went and retrieved a gun."
The 11-year-old allegedly fired the 12-gaugue shotgun from inside the house.
Cops said he hit her as she stood in the yard, in Oregon, US.
When officers and paramedics arrived they found the girl "lying on the ground with a gunshot to the chest," according to McCoig.
Both kids attended school together.
This is McKayla Dyer. She was 8-years-old when she was killed by an 11-year-old in a non-gun-free zone. pic.twitter.com/rQEBcAx2uj— Dab Aggin (@DabAggin) October 5, 2015
Dyer said she had previously approached the school head about the boy bullying her daughter
She said: "When we first moved White Pine, the little boy was bullying McKayla. He was making fun of her, calling her names, just being mean to her.
"I had to go to the principal about him, and then he quit for awhile. And then all of a sudden yesterday, he shot her."
The headmaster at White Pine School declined to confirm that Dyer spoke to him about bullying.

Customer Reviews
All reviews are from people who have redeemed deals with this merchant.
What You'll Get
Although extreme heat can spoil an Iditarod race and complicate a beloved pet lobster's bath, it works quite well when applied to yoga. Stretch in pleasantly sweltering conditions with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a five-class pass for hot-yoga sessions (a $70 value) at The Studio in Madison, located in the historic Machinery Row building on Lake Monona.
Founded by local filmmaker and radio personality Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau, The Studio sweats its pliable pupils seven days a week. Its hot-yoga classes are held in a brick-walled, wood-floored space sporting high ceilings and abundant windows, which permit ample natural light, views of the city, and the jealous stares of inflexible birds. This penta-pass grants a mat space in any of The Studio's one-hour flow-yoga sessions, where an amiable asana virtuoso guides soul-searchers toward proper breathing and limber figures, and the raised temperature makes muscles more malleable and encourages toxins to abandon ship via perspiring pores.
The Fine Print
Promotional value expires Nov 25, 2011. Amount paid never expires. Limit 1 per person, may buy 1 additional as a gift. Limit 1 per visit. Must redeem pass in full by 11/25/11. Subject to availability. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About The Studio in Madison
Founded by filmmaker and radio personality Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau, The Studio in Madison heats up yoga sessions in its Machinery Row Building locale, accented by exposed brick, soaring bay windows, and hardwood floors. The recently expanded space also offers showers and three new studio spaces, including a lake view from some. Balancing mind and body like a metaphysical unicyclist, classes at the flexodome focus on strength, stamina, and meditation respectively. First-timers enjoy two complimentary uses of the studio's mats before needing to purchase or rent their own, and all are welcome at regularly scheduled workshops and discussion sessions, which can cover topics from health and nutrition to marriage and parenthood.

Well-known musicians paid a special tribute to Seegar, a Beacon resident who died in January, and his wife Toshi, who died in July 2013. "Pete and T. both have passed away in the last year, so this year we are honoring their legacy across the seven stages throughout the festival," says festival director Steve Lurie.
Some of the headliners included Lucinda Williams, Rufus Wainwright and Norah Jones. In a lyric of a song he wrote for the occasion, Harry Chapin sang it's up to other folk artists to "pass on the music" as Seeger intended.
Seeger began hosting folk picnics in the 1960s in Croton-on-Hudson to build a boat that would travel on the Hudson to highlight environmental issues.

text: I used to really enjoy the old Bobby McGees Restaurant/Bar when I used to live near its Newport Beach location 20 years ago. It was a fun experience with their servers dressed and playing the roles of different characters---such as Elvis, Elvira, Betty Boop, sexy nurses, cowboys, etc. The food was pretty good too and the place rather upscale. I thought that they had all closed down until someone told me that there was one in Brea. I went to their website and it looks like they still do the same fun stuff. Can anyone who's been there describe their experience?

Watch IND Vs WI 3rd ODI Live Score Ball By Ball Highlights Result 30th June 2017 :- A dominant India will be hoping to take an incontrovertible 2-0 lead against a weakened West Indies side when they lock horns in the third match and this is ongoing five-match ODI series, here on Friday (June 30). Men in Blue showed their might in the second game with a 105-run defeat of the hosts, which highlighted the gulf and match between the two teams.
Virat Kohli's boys outclassed the hosts in every department of the game as they registered and the team India quite wishes to win the match. With West Indies up-and-coming as no match to the third-ranked Indian side skipper Kohli must be thinking to test his counter is the strength of the game.
IND Vs WI Live Score 2nd Match Highlights Result
A weakened adversary such as this gives a perfect opportunity to give some match practice and this match will work for the youngsters. If the skipper Kohli feels the same then there are most advantageous chances of young Rishabh Pant and he is getting the spot into the side and out-of-form Yuvraj Singh is taking his match as the rested.
19-year-old Pant is yet to make a debut in the ODIs and would a perfect replacement to Yuvraj in the middle order.
Alongside the skipper should also give match practice to pacer Mohammed Shami who last played his ODI game in 2015 World Cup semi-final against Australia. Shami, though, played both the practice matches ahead of the Champions Trophy 2017, but he is not part of the final eleven.
A series that was accepted to be one-sided got off to a lukewarm start thanks to the first ODI being washed off and the second being won contentedly by visitors of the country India. For Windies, the series offered a chance to build hope once again. Sadly, it only relaxes in the names of the players and not in their actions on the field.
That it's a mismatch of enormous proportions is well-known and going by their performances so far, the third ODI appears an inevitable finish unless the hosts can conjure up something special.
India is superior in the game on and off the field while Windies are hoping that the name change can bring some fresh air to breathe. There's nothing at the front position that suggests that they are capable of an upset against India in the five-match ODI series and the game in it offers them a chance to construct some confidence.
For India, playing with a nearly full-strength team, a series win will be the main focus and it can be seen as the series where fresh faces will be performed to play, and in the early as the third ODI with the series still open is a question that and for now!
For now, though they will be looking to continue their show of dominance which will also extend the misery for the already tattered hosts in the match.
Team News:
Windies: Kyle Hope, a 28-year-old top-order batsman, and wicketkeeper-batsman Sunil Ambris have been added to Windies squad and it can also boost their batting, which has been a let-down as much as their bowling, with Jonathan Carter left out, one of the important feature in the eleven.
India: India has gone in with their tried and tested line-up so far in the series. They have persevered with Yuvraj Singh spite his recent failures but he is an experienced left-hander may not find favor where the team management will be performed if his struggles will continue.
With promising left-handed batsman, Rishabh Pant is being part of the game on the road party will continue.
Probable XI:
India: Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli(c), Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni(w), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav
West Indies: Evin Lewis, Kyle Hope, Shai Hope(w), Jason Mohammed, Roston Chase, Kyle Hope/ Sunil Ambris, Jason Holder(c), Ashley Nurse, Devendra Bishoo, Alzarri Joseph, Miguel Cummins
When: Friday, June 30 at 9:00 AM Local Time (6:30 PM IST)
Venue: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua
Match prediction: India will win

Here's what I don't know right now Ryan:
I don't know why someone who has great experience and great education doesn't have a job.
I don't know when you will find and secure that perfect position you are looking for.
I don't know how to help you deal with feelings of depression and discouragement.
I don't know how to help you be excited to be home with the kids for 15 months when you'd rather be working.
I don't know where we are on God's timeline.
I don't know why I'm so negative when what you need is a positive wife to encourage your heart.
I don't know what employers are looking for and why they aren't hiring you.
I don't know what it's like to feel rejection over and over and over again.
But here's what I do know:
I know you make me proud every day that you get out of bed and choose to face the day.
I know that depression and discouragement are big pieces of a spiritual battle that is taking place for your mind and heart every day.
I know that you have continued to give faithfully to God even when our income is less than we need to pay our bills.
I know that God has proven Himself faithful to us in miraculous ways before and we need to trust He is working out another miracle.
I know that you are tempted daily to give in to so many things the world has to offer you - things to distract you and give you momentary freedom from this hard road.
I know that you have not given into those temptations and that you are stronger than you are aware of.
I know that Jesus faced rejection. Time and time again.
I know that you have persevered for 15 months and I know you will continue to do so.
I know that you are loved. Not because of what you do. Not because of where you work. Not because of your strengths or education or experience or leadership abilities or character traits (certainly not because of those!). You are loved simply because you are my husband. You are Samuel and Lauren's dad. You are Dean and Barb's son. You are a friend to many.
I know that one day we will look back. And although we might not understand why, we will know God was with us through every step of this journey.
I know that I love you more today than I did 10 1/2 years ago and that I am committed to walking through this alongside you.

As much as I love posting each week and checking in with Katie for her Marvelous in My Monday link-up, I haven't felt too inspired to blog lately and didn't really feel like doing it this week. But, I know I'd miss doing it, so I'm going to give a little bit of an update on what's going on lately. It will probably be short and sweet, unless I get myself chit-chatting about everything and getting a little too detailed. But, we'll see how it plays out 😉
These kitties have been often the only thing that has been able to make me smile lately. Even on the most frustrating of days, they just make me smile and laugh. Pets truly are a blessing. I am forever thankful for these little things ❤
Life has been revolving around our future living arrangements. It's been extremely exhausting. Craigslist has been my best friend these days, I check for new postings multiple times a day. Not only do we need to try and find a place for Scott and I (with so many specifics as far as what will work for us) but we need to try and find a place for his mom, too, who's health is getting worse. It's exhausting. We had a place we checked out Thursday, which was something I was feeling optimistic about, only to find that it wouldn't work. Another let down.
Saturday we had two places to see. The first one would have been a pretty decent (not perfect, by any means) place and would have come pretty close to what we were looking for, however it was so far out and really far from where Scott and I both work. In summer, not such a big deal, but come winter and snowy roads, not at all good. So, another place that won't work. We stopped at Panera to get some grub before hitting our next place. We sat outside in the sun, and it was one of the most relaxing moments of my week as silly as it sounds. The temperature was absolutely perfect and the sun felt so great. I could have stayed there the rest of the day, as the sun melted away all my anxieties and frustrations. Sadly, that momentary relaxation could only last so long. But I think Scott really enjoyed those minutes we had, too. It just seemed to be the perfect moment to unwind a bit together and put a hold on our frustrations.
Then it was on to our next appointment. This is one place that I was feeling extremely optimistic about, seemed like it would be a really good fit. A place with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2.5 car garage (one of the hardest things to find, but one of the necessities since Scott has so many vehicles…) and a cute little private courtyard (where we were hopeful that we may be able to have Max (his mom's dog) stay occasionally if she needed a break from the pup for a while if she was feeling particularly bad on any given day). It was part of a condo community though, and a lot of apartments and condos have breed restrictions…and most have German Shepherds on the list since they're big dogs and are often assumed to be aggressive. But, we kept our hopes up. The lady that showed it to us said that they were on the breed restriction list but since it wasn't our dog and we wouldn't be having it often, it may be ok. She did encourage us to contact the manager of the property though to get confirmation. So I sent an email right after, trying to get all the phrasing down as best as possible to present the idea in the most appealing light.
This is a scene we're getting used to these days…
After our appointment, we had to head straight to a local playhouse where Scott's niece was going to be performing in a play. When we got there, I got the email response from the manager of the last place we checked out. It was a pretty disappointing response, but one I was pretty much expecting…"You would not be able to have the German Shepherd here at all. I'm sorry but that is a breed we don't allow even to babysit." I can't even begin to tell you how dang frustrated I was. NOTHING has been working out for us. I have been searching religiously and contacting any options that seemed to be a potential fit, and we have had none work out so far. I had to suck it up pretty quickly, though, since we were going to be around family and the show was starting soon. It probably was a really good thing because it was the perfect (albeit momentary) distraction.
I legitimately was super impressed! I often go to the kids' events and they are what you'd expect kids events to be….not that great, but fun and cute because they're family. 🙂 But I was actually super impressed with their performance. The kids were part of a "camp" that met Monday through Friday 9 am to 4 pm each day. They had 5 days to get the show ready before the weekend performances (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) and it was an hour and a half show! It was so dang good. I really enjoyed it a lot. They even did some singing and dancing. It was so much better than I expected. It was a really good distraction.
Afterward, I came back home and worked out for a bit, then continued my search for more places. Scott took the pup for a run and then afterward we went grocery shopping and relaxed for the rest of the evening, watching none other than our favorite, Breaking Bad.
Sunday morning was a super, super lazy start for me! But I think it was just what I needed. A completely relaxing morning, no stress or frustration or anxieties. When Scott woke up, we spent a while just talking and then went outside on the balcony to talk some more. It was just a really nice morning. The kitties joined us too 🙂 (Dexter LOVES to lick Scott's hair!!)
After lounging around, I squeezed in a run before meeting up with a good friend of mine for coffee. After our coffee date, I headed to church, ran a few errands and then had my parents over for a movie for the evening, since Scott was spending his evening over by his mom's place. It was such a wonderful end to a really great day. My parents are the best and I always love my time with them. And to end on a cute note…

A refractive error is when the shape of your eye does not bend light correctly, causing blurred vision. The common refractive disorders are:
Myopia also known as nearsightedness, is when distant objects appear blurry. Myopia is inherited and usually discovered in childhood. As a person ages, myopia can progress, requiring a stronger prescription to correct.
Hyperopia also known as farsightedness, is when close objects appear blurry. Hyperopia is most common in children. It can improve as a person ages.
Astigmatism is an irregular curvature on the cornea (front surface of the eye) which causes a person's vision to be blurred at all distances.
If you experience blurred vision, difficulty reading or crossing of the eyes, it may mean you have a refractive disorder. Contact your ophthalmologist for a complete eye exam. Refractive disorders are commonly treated with corrective lenses, whether it be eyeglasses or contact lenses. Some refractive disorders may also be corrected by refractive surgery.

Automatic Mileage & Expense Tracker
One of the best parts about being an independent contractor is that you can "deduct" your business expenses when you do your taxes - which means you pay less in taxes and keep more of your money. As a Dasher, you pay for your phone, your data plan, your ride, and other business expenses. In return, your taxes should we lowered accordingly. That's what "deducting" business expense means. It's your right!
DoorDash has partnered with Everlance to make tracking your business expenses (and your income!) easy and save you big at tax time.
How can Everlance help Dashers?
If you use a car as a Dasher, every 1,000 miles you drive for work is worth over $500 on your taxes. Pretty sweet, right? To get that deduction, you need to keep a mileage log. Here's the good news: the Everlance app does it for you.
Everlance automatically records your mileage, so all you need to do is swipe trips right or left to mark them as work or personal.
If you don't use a car to Dash, you can track other business expenses with the app, such as your cell phone bill, your health insurance, your hot bags, and more.
Everlance can save you time and money, as well as peace of mind - the app backs up all your data to the cloud, so that you don't have to keep any paper receipts.
Special Deal for Dashers
While Everlance is available for free (both for iOS or Android), the Premium version has tons of great features like unlimited trip tracking, automatic labeling, and bank/card integration. As a Dasher, you can upgrade to Premium for just $1 for 1 year (a $96 value) by signing up here.
Getting started with Everlance for Dashers
Go to "Premium", select "Annual." You will see the price will drop to $1

What is Everlance and why should I use it?
Everlance is an app that automatically tracks your mileage, expenses, and income and is designed to help independent contractors maximize their tax deductions (which means you get to keep more of your hard-earned money).
Why should I track my expenses as a Dasher?
Simple answer - to save money! As an independent contractor, you can "deduct" business expenses from your taxes. Deducting those expenses reduces how much you pay in taxes and increases how much money you get keep to keep.
As a Dasher, you can deduct things like your phone, your data plan, your ride, your health insurance, your hot bags, and more. The more you deduct, the more money you get to keep.
Tracking your expenses means you maximize your deductions and you protect yourself in case of an audit. Doing it the old school way is annoying (e.g. shoebox of receipts). Doing it with Evelance is easy.
I've heard that DoorDash Dashers can get a special rate for Everlance Premium - what is it?
Everlance is a free tool, but if you'd like to get the Premium version which has additional productivity and cost saving features you can get a 6 month subscription for $1 as a Dasher. See "Getting started with Everlance for Dashers" at the top of this page.

The scientific view of the abundance of water on the Moon has varied
wildly with time, including drastic changes in perception in the last
decade. The Apollo samples left the lunar science community with the
impression that the Moon was completely dry, in large part because no
minerals were found that incorporated water or hydroxyl (OH) in their
structures. However, in 2008 two key measurements proved water was
much more abundant than perceived. High precision measurements of
hydrogen in lunar volcanic glasses showed clear evidence of either
water or hydroxyl at the 10's of parts per million level, and three
spacecraft detected a 3 micron water or hydroxyl band on the lunar
At present there are three loosely related areas of research on lunar water: Water in the lunar interior; water on the lunar surface; and water cold trapped in extremely low temperature surfaces in the lunar polar regions. I will describe these subject areas and related controversies, but emphasize how surface water is detected, and how Earth-based astronomy can and is contributing to the understanding of the origin and evolution of water on the Moon.

I'm throwin' on my Louboutins
I tried to put on a pair of heels last night and within 3.056 seconds I had sharp, shooting pain in my knee, dammit. I mean, it's been almost two full weeks since my ACL and meniscus reconstruction. Clearly I should be wearing my 6"
I had to buy flats to wear to work. I'm 5'2", what good are flats to me? No good. No good at all. But I don't have a choice right now, so I shed a tear for all of the beautiful heels I left on the shelf in lieu of some sparkly flats that are cute, but just not the same.
