I have previously written article on how to Generate Registration Image on Fly
Enhancing the same password generation logic so that it would be useful for generating random password using C# code.
public static string GetRandomPassword(int length)
char[] chars = "$%#@!*abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890?;:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ^&".ToCharArray();
string password = string.Empty;
Random random = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
int x = random.Next(1,chars.Length);
//Don't Allow Repetation of Characters
if (!password.Contains(chars.GetValue(x).ToString()))
password += chars.GetValue(x);
return password;
Its a simple logic instead by generating a random number between 1 and Length of characters. It also checks that same character is not repeated in generated password and finally return the randomly generated password string of desired length.

Considerations for Locating the Ideal Job Vacancy Website.
Finding a job being quite a hurdle has been a bare fact for quite a while now. A source of livelihood is entitled to everyone and the job vacancy websites have really confirmed to come in handy whenever there is need. Unlike the previous the methods of looking for a job, the current technology has graced us with an alternative that works in the favor of many. As a result of the various job vacancy websites offered from the internet media finding a job has become rather simple but you also has a higher likelihood of locating himself looking at an unreliable website. Considering the aspects below, you're definitely likely to find the very best job vacancy site which will suite you best.
First of All, seeking suggestions from your acquaintances and family members is among the very best move to make. Having trusted associates and relatives that have had the opportunity getting jobs through the internet network, then you need to surely use them. You are likely to be shown a number of the best websites that dwell significantly in the type of job you're qualified for. In the same way, you should pay attention to any negative comment if you would like to find yourself in the ideal website.
Taking note of the type of job and the position you are looking for will surely limit your search to the particular sites. You would not prefer being stranded in the middle of a search since you did not consider a site that suites your expertise. It would be very unfortunate if you decide to post your resume in the wrong website since the employer always get rid of such before moving any further. These guidelines are often overlooked by most people who have no slight clue about the significance that they hold in assisting you to discover the appropriate job.
Furthermore, there are dissimilar types of job sites and it would be rather wise to go for the highly viewed one. Such websites that have quite a good rank in the search engines always provide the visitors with the simple and comprehensive information that will give them the clear picture of what the website entails. If you would prefer to select the best website that would definitely market your resume to potential employers then it would be wise to go for one that is highly praised by most. You should not also forget to exhaust every website available just to find the job you are looking for since it has become very much evident that we are living in a dog-eat-dog world.
In conclusion, when looking for a job vacancy, then you need to go for the sites that reveals job employers. This will hinder you from getting hired by an inhumane company or one which doesn't take note of people needs.

LOS ANGELES, CA – June 2, 2010 – Centered on its new Acculogic Flying Scorpion FLS 810D flying probe tester, Qual-Pro is launching its Test for Success program today.
"This program allows us to rapidly confirm the viability of the electronic assemblies we build. We welcome existing and new customers to utilize this program, which allows them to validate their designs. Qual-Pro, founded almost 40 years ago, was built on a foundation of providing validation and testing services. This new program launch is a return to our roots," said Brian Shane, Qual-Pro's CEO and son of founder, Gerald Shane.
"We have invested heavily in our test capability. As their designs have become more complex, our customers have increasingly requested more sophisticated capabilities in the areas of design validation and testing. To help address that need we have brought online this new piece of capital equipment. In the short time since we have added this new capability, we have helped many of our customers diagnose problems with their electronic assemblies," said Shane.
The Acculogic flying probe tester allows simultaneous double-sided probing of printed circuit boards with board power-on testing, boundary Scan (JTAG) testing, mixed signal function testing and on-board device programming.
Flying probe testing is the next step in Qual-Pro's validation and test offering. Behind flying probe are in-circuit (ICT) and functional testing. Additionally, the company offers custom functional tester development and custom test plan development to fully validate and exercise its customer's electronic assemblies.

More Questions than Answers About the Stem Cell Lift
I received two personal patient communications this week about the claims related to using one's own stem cells to perform facelifts. This has really been in the recent press for over two years, and it continues to gather attention. Many aspects of such claims are very appealing. Many would agree that this procedure sounds safe, natural, long lasting, and minimally invasive. Those of us in the facial plastic surgery field are continuing to search for such a procedure.
Have we discovered this in the "stem cell lift?"
To make a long story short- not yet. Not even close.
Skin, muscle, subcutaneous fat, and bone all undergo changes with age. The American Board of Facial Plastic Surgeons are continuing to focus on volume restoration of the midface, temples, lips, and jawline. Facelifting continues to be a very helpful tool when excess skin exists despite volumization. I do advocate utilizing fat cells harvested from the belly to assist with adding tissue when needed. A recent article in the plastic surgery literature even suggested that fat be utilized to build volume for revision rhinoplasty.
However, even the use of proprietary fat and tissues technologies are not yet able to make any claims about the use of stem cells in facial rejuvenation. There simply are no studies that are peer-reviewed and controlled to make this type of statement.
During the last 10 years, I have seen that free tissue grafts have played a significant role in my practice. I will embrace any use of stem cells as they become available through science and technological advances.
That day has yet to come.
The greatest advantage that I enjoy as a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery Emerging Trends Committee is the chance to review our best science prior to most of the physicians in our field. I will certainly keep our patients posted.
Here's to the future.

After a long break, I'm finally blogging again! I've been thinking about a new topic for a while, and suddenly I came across "House of Drewvid".
If this is not the first time you're reading my blog, you know that I love Vintage Fairs, and that I always try me best not to loose any event in London. (As mentioned in previous posts, the bests are the ones organised by Pop Up Vintage Fairs). The latest one was one of the most enjoyable under many expects: the location (the Walthamstow Assembly Hall), is one of the nicest one. I had the honour to listen to the beautiful "London Belles" live and meet some of my favourite traders. Without taking away any value to that, I have to admit that the best part of the event was meeting David and Andrew, owners and creators of "House of Drewvid".
House of Drewvid
From their website – The House of Drewvid is the brainchild of married couple David Dorling and Andrew Simonin.
Both David and Andrew wanted to bring their combined experience of over 20 years working with wigs and period hair within the British TV, filming industry and theatre land and combine that with their love of fabulous hair both vintage and modern to the rest of the world. –
When I found out that I could have my hair professionally vintage done at the fair, I could't contain myself! My hair are always challenging, and having vintage hairdos it's still a dream. I obviously booked a slot, but I could not imagine yet how amazing the whole experience was going to be!
I met David and Andrew in their own private room, all set in a perfect old Hollywood glamorous atmosphere. Vintage feathers placed on top of a glass cabinet, wigs with retro hairdos in front of the super lighted mirrors..Glenn Miller playing in the background. I really felt back in time, getting ready to film my scene in some old movie!
Both David and Andrew are lovely guys, sharing their passion for what they do and with unlimited patience. I, of course loved to have my hair done, but spending time with them was a real pleasure!
From their website – After training with world famous Steiner group Andrew went on to open his own salon where he was both colourist and stylist alongside his business partner. After several years in the salon he decided to move on to pastures new into the West End, deep in theatre land where he worked on many productions including Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Hairspray and the Sound of Music to say the least. From theatre he made the leap into the British filming industry and began his career on Young Victoria and continues to work alongside some of the top British hairdressers and makeup artists the industry has to offer. David trained at world renowned Mahogany Hairdressing based in Mayfair London where he learnt fine art precision cutting and developed a love for the styling and hair up side of hairdressing. After several years at Mahogany he made the leap to go freelance. He started off mainly in the editorial world of magazines and fashion shoots before being approached for TV work and commercials. Then the stars aligned and he met Andrew. Andrew introduced him to the world of the British filming industry where he has since worked on many films from the recent Florence Foster Jenkins, Madonna's W.E, Captain America and the epic Star Wars latest addition.Together Andrew and David have developed a passion for glamorous period hair over the years and cannot wait to share all their experience, knowledge and passion with You!!! –
It's all about the set and brush-out
I was shocked to find out that after years of experience, those two guys have also created their own line of Hair products! You can find a selection of Pomades and Sprays on their website, for very reasonable prices. I bought myself a setting lotion spray, which works incredibly well on my hair.
The "Marcel Spray" it's a fast drying, and extremely strong, fixing spray, perfect for "hair up" or freezing any number of wild creations. As Andrew was using this products on my hair, he explained that it is great on wet hair before blow-dry because it helps control the super soft, silky effect that my hair tends to have. But it is also great as setting lotion when pin-curling and as hairspray to set the whole hairdo. I could not believe how my hair kept the beautiful Betty Grable inspired hair, without the plastic effect that the tons of hairspray I usually need, gives them. The Marcel Spray it's definitely a product I want to recommend: it is fantastic! It also smells so nice, and finally you don't risk to faint after kilos of hairsprays.
The House of Drewvid also offers different services such as Bridal hair, Barber, Wig Dressing etc.. Please have a look at their website, and I am sure you will fell in love in just one click! I was begging them to start classes, because with their charisma and passion they could be amazing teachers even for thick-learner like me..so finger crossed!
Hope you've found this post useful and interesting. If you did don't forget to like it and subscribe!

Ilford HP5+ pushed two stops to ISO 1600
5 thoughts on "Personal Computing"
Felix says:
Great images- – as always 🙂
Karim D. Ghantous (@kdghantous) says:
You've done it again. Wonderful stuff. 🙂 I think you had better get yourself a nice, spacious darkroom. I'm sure the Producer would love the idea. You could even put some prints up on your wall.
I think if I had to choose between Tri-X and HP5, I'd choose HP5. Not too much in it, though. You buy it in bulk?
Perhaps I've asked this before, but do you prefer D76 for HP5, or are you indifferent? Is Diafine an option for you, personally? B&W photography is part alchemy, as we all know, so I'm not suggesting that there is a correct or incorrect method.
I am curious – how much highlight detail is actually there in the 5th shot?

It takes a vast amount of compassion and imagination to appreciate a place as unremarkable as this. In a town this small, you must invent your own fun. With limited sources for entertainment, you are forced to explore and exploit your own creative conscience. You are incessantly compelled to dive into your subconscious mind and pray that you pull out something extraordinary. But, here in Calvert County, everything belongs to you. Everything and everyone here is family, which is something particularly exquisite.
This is a safe town. This is a town of thank-yous, excuse-mes, and good mornings. This is a town where others wave as you drive past. This is a see-the-stars-every-night type of town. The feeling of familiarity swaddles you like a warm blanket, yet is often the driving force for many to flee.
Physical environment shapes your self-concept and general frame of mind. Often times, you feel trapped here, like you're sinking into the ground to be sealed off for good, never to escape. Everyone you know has their own rationale for wanting to leave, and their own dreams of the uncharted territory that looms in the distance. Everyone is eager to break away from the imprisonment of the small town life.
When you leave this town, you leave for something bigger. In Calvert County, everyone knows who you are. Out there, you are microscopic. You are invisible until you make yourself known. Out there everything is quick, and everyone is in a hurry. You must adapt to the unavoidable haste. People stare at cell phone screens or straight towards their destination. Excuse-mes and good mornings are minimal or inexistent. Life moves at a different speed. You will miss the quiet streets and the back roads and the big hearts. You will miss the constant daydreaming of the foreign terrain. You will begin to treasure the delicate beauty of the tiny town you once loathed.
How you paint our world depends on you. Though your surroundings and physical atmosphere can influence your perspective, it is up to you individually to open your eyes and revel in its splendor. You must learn every day to allow the space between where you are and where you want to be to inspire you, rather than discourage you. Suddenly, you will become awash in gratitude. This town will be your stepping stone to the destination you desire – whether it be across the globe, a notorious city, the next town over, or shockingly, right here in Calvert County – if you allow it to.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't trying to desert this town, but as I imagine opening the door to the universe that lies ahead, I can't help but admire this aging beauty surrounding me. I can feel the strength of togetherness and family. I can feel a paralyzing sense of nostalgia as I drive the familiar streets. I can feel the Chesapeake Bay running through my veins. There is love here in daydream nation, and although escaping may be probable, returning now and again is inevitable.

What is Floor Area Ratio in Commercial Real Estate?
Floor area ratio, or FAR, is the ratio between a building's floor area and the size of the land on which the property is located. The larger a property's FAR ratio, the higher the project density. FAR is often limited by zoning laws, so it's important for investors and developers looking to build a new project to check out local FAR limits early on in the planning process. While FAR can apply equally to all types of structures, it's typically most relevant in multistory apartment, office, and hotel projects.
Floor Area Ratios In Practice
If a building is 30,000 sq. ft. and is built on 10,000 sq. ft. of land, the building's FAR would be 3 (30,000/10,000). And, if a site is 5,000 sq. ft. and FAR is limited to 2 by local zoning laws, then 10,000 sq. ft. is the largest square footage building that could be built on the property. FAR extends vertically as well as horizontally; a 10,000 sq. ft. building could have 2 stories of 5,000 sq. ft. each, or 10 stories of 1,000 sq. ft. each, and the FAR would be the same.
Floor Area Ratio and Land Value
In general, when purchasing a lot for a commercial development, the land will be more expensive if the area is zoned for a higher floor area ratio. However, that's not always the case. In some situations, high FAR leads to high density construction projects nearby, which can obstruct views from the property in question, leading to a reduction in property value.

The Revelation in Prague and the Power of Now
I've been having a bit of trouble accessing the Random Transmits lately. That part of my brain that just clicks on and starts spitting out absurd ideas like chandelier swastikas and morphing into a babushka seems to be on an extended break. This is a strange side effect of harnessing my anxiety, I think, because the same voice that says, "You know where you should take this tangent? Lingonberries. Or your fictional great great grandfather's need for Cambodian hookers" is the same voice that pulls me out of reality and projects my thoughts into the future.
It's the same voice that screams at me every time I wonder about my career. It's the voice that has already created 100 different outcomes of a shitty conversation that may or may not happen in a few weeks. It's the voice that says, "You haven't written anything decent in weeks. Maybe you'll never write anything decent again. All of your creative goals...well, it's a nice thought, but I don't see how it's going to happen if you can't actually write anything down. Also, no one is ever going to pay you for your thoughts because you have to actually communicate those thoughts via words to get paid as writer. So, you're going to have to spend the last of your money to fly home, move back into your mother's basement, and get a job at Starbucks. But don't worry, you'll be my favorite barista. I hear you make a mean Java Chip frappuccino. Sucker."
And so, I'm writing about not being able to write in hopes of being able to write again.
Because I change locations each month, I've found that each month has naturally developed it's own theme. I don't show up to each country and say to myself, "This month Thailand, the theme will be acclamation! And you Cambodia, you will get romance. Malaysia will take transition and Croatia gets reintegration." Instead, I wait until I show up, and within a few days, the theme emerges.
This month, in the Czech Republic, the theme is presence. "Presence" sounds a bit precious for me, though. The theme is really I'm finished listening to you, brain. Your nonsensical babble is distracting me from this beautiful tree in front of me. Also, you're wrong a lot and seem really insecure about the future. You should work on that. I, however, am just fine because I am here and this tree is pretty much my best friend."
The theme emerged after a few days into Prague. A friend asked me to read over a draft of a new blog post he was writing, and he mentioned that a book called The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle finally helped him overcome his anxiety and harness the superpower of happiness. (Stop reading this right now and go buy that book.) I'd just finished reading Dorie Clarks' Stand Out: How to Find Your Breakthrough Idea and Find a Following Around It and was feeling a bit down because my breakthrough idea of "just be sort of a mess and mildly funny" really wasn't going to get me anywhere.
So, I downloaded The Power of Now, curled up on my bed, and began to read. Two or three pages in, I had one of those HOLY SHIT, I FINALLY GET IT moments that you hear people talk about but don't think will ever happen to you. I suddenly understood the meaning of presence and being in the Now. It's not about controlling the voice(s) in your head and changing the "What if..." thoughts to "What is..." thoughts. It's about understanding that whatever my brain thinks is unrelated to me. If I'm able to say to myself, "I can't stand myself" that automatically implies that there are two things at work here — the I and the myself — and the myself is my thoughts, my feelings, my judgements, my insecurities, my whatever it is at the moment. But, since the I and the myself are two separate things (and I can't be two things at once) the I does not have to pay attention to the myself because the myself is not the real me. It no different than saying, "I can't stand the Beastie Boys," and if the Beastie Boys start playing, I either leave the room, change the music, or accept that there's not much I can do about it and direct my focus from the Beastie Boys to the fact that its existence has no actual effect on this moment other than creating noise to ignore.
This revelation has been amazing. (The separation between I and myself, not the fact that I hate the Beastie Boys.) You may think that this is some ridiculous Tom Cruise level of psychohippie babble, but that sounds like a you problem. If you're drawn to it and want to explore it, great. Buy the book and see if it's for you. If not, and you're instead glued to current events and tweeting about all the things that might go sideways in the world, keep on being you...but isn't that exhausting? I've spent the past two weeks walking around Prague just staring at trees, feeling the energy of buildings, and redirecting my focus from my anxious thoughts to the crisp chill on my cheeks and the crunch of my boots on the ice. It's been terribly unproductive as far as getting all the things done that I said I was going to do, like book proposals and Grandmother websites, but learning to ignore the beast in my own mind has done more for my day to day quality of life than anything else I've accomplished so far on this trip.
I'm nowhere near mastering this new way to be, and I don't think anyone ever really masters it. Now, the challenge is to separate the Random Transmits from the rest of that crap. They may sound the same, but they're not the same. One thousand words later, I know that now.
(Seriously, give the book a shot. Also, if you click on the little links in my post and buy the book, I get a wee little kickback to keep me eating this month. Everyone wins!)

Incredible works of art, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, glass pieces, jewelry, ceramics, wood, fiber and mixed media will be on display for the 2018 San Diego Festival of the Arts, held at downtown at Waterfront Park on June 9 and 10.
Nearly 200 world renowned artists will showcase their work and have it available for purchase during this juried competition. Guests will also enjoy live music and entertainment, a craft beer and wine garden, outdoor games and activities for kids and cuisine from San Diego's top restaurants throughout the weekend. "The San Diego Festival of the Arts remains committed to bringing the very best in established and emerging artists to our region celebrating excellence across multiple visual arts categories," said Don Ludwig, 2018 festival director.
World-class musicians will be taking the stage during the festival. There will be three stages featuring a diverse lineup of performers, including composer Jack Tempchin, who's probably best known for the Eagles' hits "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and "Already Gone." Singer/songwriter Riley Biederer, recent competitor on the show "The Voice" and winner of YouTube's "best.cover.ever" title for her rendition of "Chained to the Rhythm." Tempchin will perform Saturday at 4 p.m. on the Fountain Plaza Stage, and Biederer will perform Saturday at 4:15 p.m. on the Main Stage and Sunday at 10:15 a.m. on the Fountain Plaza Stage.
Since you can't really have a festival of any kind in San Diego without local craft beer, there will also be a Wine & Beer Garden, presented by HARKEN WINES. The garden will feature Stone, Duckfoot, Rough Draft and Coronado Brewing Company.
This is the third year the festival will be held at Waterfront Park, which has proved to be an ideal location with interactive fountains, intimate gardens, harbor views and access to public transit. Tickets for the festival start at $12 for single-day passes ($14 at the door). Other ticket options include a two-day pass for $16 ($18 at the door) and a VIP pass for $25, which includes a weekend pass, two drink vouchers, swag bag and more. Group pricing is also available for groups of 10 or more. Children age 16 and under and active military (with ID) can enter the festival for free.
The festival is produced by San Diego Magazine and Torrey Pines Kiwanis Foundation. Proceeds raised through the festival benefit adaptive sports programs for San Diegans with disabilities. To date, the festival has raised more than $2 million, with $92,000 being dispersed to organizations from last year's proceeds alone. For more information, and to purchase tickets, visit www.sdfestivalofthearts.org.

One of my fave food blogs, Pinch My Salt, has just posted about a program Barilla pasta is running right now: they are offering FREE downloads of their Celebrity Italian Table Cookbook, and for every cookbook downloaded, they will donate $1 (up to $100,000) to America's Second Harvest.
Sounds like a win-win situation to me!
I just downloaded it and while the design and photos are kinda cheesy, the recipes, created by the delightfully delicious Mario Batali, look squisita.
So do a good deed and help yourself!

The 11th Academy Awards Ceremony in 1939
Walt Disney and the Seven Dwarfs
11th Academy Awards
I've been writing a series about Academy Awards and up until this year (1939) I've been doing very well with my memories of the films that have been given Awards in this Ceremony. I'll have to see if this one is more of a test for me though I see many movies I know well.
The 11th Academy Awards were held at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California and did not have an official host, but Cedric Hardwicke and Tyrone Power gave out most of the awards., This was the first time a foreign language film was ever nominated for Best Picture, though it didn't win. Another 'outstanding achievement' of these particular awards, this was the first time that three out of the four acting awards were won by someone who had won before.
So, pop your popcorn and sit back while we spend a little time at the movies back in 1938!
Jean Arthur
You Can't Take It With You
In the thirties, romantic comedy was done right. Subtle, yet funny and the good guy always wins! Add Frank Capra [director] to the mix and you know you've got a winner. "You Can't Take It With You" won two Academy Awards, one for Outstanding Production and one for Best Director. This was Capra's third Academy Award for Best Director. His first was in 1934 for "It Happened One Night" and his second was for "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" in 1936. Seems Mr. Capra was establishing quite a pattern for himself. Of course the cast of this movie included some great actors/actresses including Lionel Barrymore, Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Spring Byington, Eddie Anderson, and a fifteen year old Ann Miller.
Screwball families were popular in the thirties and this movie contains one of the screwiest from Grandpa Vanderhof right on down to Penny Sycamore. However, Alice Sycamore is perfect normal and perfectly in love with Tony Kirby who happens to be from a normal, wealthy family. Adapted from the 1934 play of the same name, and when Alice invites the Kirbys to her house for dinner things turn our a little differently than she expected.
Saying more would give away the film. If you enjoy light-hearted comedies, you'll enjoy "You Can't Take It With You". Yes, I've seen it a few times and yes I enjoyed it. It certainly doesn't rank with "Gone With the Wind" but its what I call a "cute" movie.
You'll notice Mr. Barrymore is on crutches and though it was written into the script it was really the beginning of his long bout with crippling arthritis.
"isms" scene from You Can't Take it With You
Boys Town
Boys Town
This is a biographical film based on the life of the real Father Edward J. Flanagan, the founder of Boys Town, a non-profit organization that was originally an orphanage for boys. Today it cares for children and families. It's Academy Award? Best actor to Spencer Tracy who played Father Flanagan and Best Story.
Father Flanagan believed all boys were good and wanted a place for them that would help them reach their true potential. Of course nothing comes easy. What better actor than a young Mickey Rooney to play the bad boy Father Flanagan has trouble reaching? His brother's in jail, he's been in trouble before and he just doesn't see this "good guy" stuff. His brother, Whitey, waiting for the electric chair, has paid Father Flanagan to help him.
Of course there are scenes to make you cry, like the scene when his only friend, a little boy named Pee Wee is hit by a car, or when he gets shot in the leg. You may say its a 'schmaltzy' film but, based on fact it turns from that to just a tear jerker and a testament to Father Flanagan and his strong will to help young boys. A good film to watch on a Saturday night at home and one of the 100 Best Films according to the American Film Institute.
There is some controversy about what exactly happened with Tracy's Academy Award. Some say he gave it to Father Flanagan, others say a duplicate was given to Father Flanagan...either way, Boys Town and the movie of the same name were winners.
Boys Town
Jezebel 1938
A bit of controversy surrounds this movie. Rumor has it this movie was offered to Bette Davis to compensate for her losing the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind". True or not, it was a mighty compensation since she won an Academy Award for Best Actress. This film was also released before "Gone With the Wind". It doesn't have the scope and amazing scenes that were present in "Gone With the Wind" but there is character exploration and a look into the south in that period. Oh, and it isn't in color but rather it was filmed in the old black and white.
The story line is not unlike Scarlett's. A willful southern belle who loses the man she loves because of her willfulness. The most famous "issue" in the film is when she buys a red dress to wear to a ball to 'show' her beau after he puts work before her. Her beau is played by a young and handsome Henry Fonda. At that time all unmarried women were expected to wear white to the ball! When she shows up in her red dress everyone is shocked. Even she is surprised and upset by the response people show to her. But Pres (Henry Fonda) makes her dance with him and won't let her escape her shame. As a result, Pres breaks their engagement and leaves to go north. I'm sure you've guess that Pres comes back with a northern wife.
The Civil War is not the focus here, that has not happened. This movie is as much about southern customs as it is about the selfish Julie, whom her Aunt labels Jezebel. The duel that takes place as a matter of honor, is actually started by Julie, but southern men take honor seriously. The critical issue in this movie is yellow fever not the Civil War, remember this is in 1853. An outbreak of yellow fever shows the mettle of Julie, who, unlike Scarlett O'Hara, has a more caring side toward her fellow man.
The Best Supporting Actress Award was won by Fay Bainter, who superbly played Bette Davis's aunt in this film. An aunt whom everyone but Julie loved.
If you enjoyed "Gone With the Wind", if you like Bette Davis or Henry Fonda, this is a must see. Even if you don't like any of the things I've mentioned, this is a classic film worth watching.

Errol Flynn
The Adventures of Robin Hood
This film won Best Direction, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score. Though it was nominated for Best Picture it lost that award to "You Can't Take It With You". Who out there has never heard of Robin Hood? I'm hoping its a minority of my readers. Robin Hood who stole from the rich to give to the poor. And who out there hasn't heard of the dazzling Errol Flynn? What better actor to be Robin Hood?
The evil Prince John continually raises taxes to line his coffers while his brother, Richard the Lionhearted, is a prisoner of war. Robin, Earl of Locksley tells John he will do everything in his power to thwart him and restore Richard to the throne. Robin sets up home in Sherwood Forest where he begins to gather his band of merry men.
Another film chock full of well known actors with Olivia DeHavilland playing the lovely Maid Marion, Alan Hale, Sr. as Little John, Claude Rains as the evil John, and Basil Rathbone as the evil Sir Guy of Gisbourne. People might not think of Robin and his merry men as rebels but in the true sense of the word they were, fighting for the right. Robin says, "It's injustice I hate, not the Normans."
This film was well received and Errol Flynn was inextricably linked to the role of Robin Hood. It is said the original star was James Cagney but he walked off the film to be replaced by Flynn. Roger Ebert got me thinking with a comment he made about the stars in old movies. Though there might have been one star as a headliner, the movies back then were about the story not the star. Romance was about romance, not about sex or lovemaking. The relationship between Robin and Marion was pure and, well, romantic.
A great, "swashbuckling" film with Robin/Flynn doing many of his own stunts. Swinging from ropes, jumping from walls, and of course sword fighting. You might really want to check this one out, I won't tell you how many times I've seen it, just that its worth watching.
Robin Hood
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
None of Walt Disney's pictures ever won an Academy Award. However, in 1939 "Snow White" was awarded a special Oscar for technical achievement. Actually, it was one large Oscar with seven little ones.
Snow White was innovative and still stands as one of the most beautiful animated films ever made. Adapted from the original by Hans Christian Anderson, and brought to life by Walt Disney, this is a film not to be missed.

Wow! Delightful memories and so well thought of.
Jean Arthur was second to only Carole Lombard when it came to comedy and Boys Town was a favourite of mine whenever I saw it. This hub has given me a yearning to see it again; it's been too long. Great hubs Mary, I'm enjoying the series so far.
I have watched new Robin Hood, maybe I should watch the old one to judge which one is better.
This is just simply smashing , Mary, and I am a big film buff , and I must tell you sincerely that movie hubs really don't come much better than this - you have put together a series here which is a world class effort on your part and the research is excellent. Hubbravo to you from a very enthusiastic and impressed Epi-man as daybreak has come up over the lake here at lake erie time ontario canada 8:54am
I saw Robin Hood and Snow White, enjoyed them and enjoyed reading your hub. Thanks for sharing. Voted up.
Okay, I'm hooked. Thank you. But there's something about cuddling up to an old classic.
As I was reading this, I thought of Errol Flynn. Watched a few colorized versions of his movies and I must say, he was a great actor/stuntman. Thanks for sharing! Passing this around.
Thanks, Mary, for reminding me of these great movies. I saw 'Robin Hood' (Flynn WAS Robin Hood), 'Jezebel' (Bette Davis at her best), and 'Snow White' (one of my all-time favorite animated films). Even did an interview with her. Now I'll have to see if I can dig up some of the others you mentioned.
I am thoroughly enjoying this series. Bette Davis is great. I saw Boys Town. Wow, I would love to see these again.
Hi Mary. 1938 was a pretty good year for films. I've seen Boys Town, Robin Hood and of course Snow White. I really enjoy this series you have so keep them coming. Voting up, sharing, etc..
yes keep these coming ..it is fun to take a trip down memory lane and when stars looked like stars and Hollywood was really hollwood.
"Why, you speak treason!", "Fluently" The great Errol Flynn in his signature role. My favourite swashbuckler, The Adventures of Robin Hood, deserved it's Best Picture nomination and I prefer it to the other 1938 nominees and winner - You can't Take it With You - which was enjoyable but pure "Capra-corn" as Frank Capra's films were usually dubbed.
Boys Town I haven't seen in years. Bette Davis is a great actress but I'm so glad she got Jezebel instead of Gone With the Wind. :)
Another enjoyable read Mary. Vote Up and Interesting.
I only discovered the movie You Can't Take It with You just a few weeks ago. The movie is hilarious and timeless. It really was a screwball comedy with the "craziest" group of believable characters that is seldom seen in a comedy. I could see why it won best picture.
On the other hand, Jezebel is a favorite of one of the early movies of Bette Davis. She gave an excellent performance in Jezebel. Enjoyed you commentary.
I saw Boys Town, Robin Hood and Snow White....Snow White scared me as a child. :) Mary, keep these coming. I find these very entertaining.
Another good one. I loved Jezebel. Thanks!

It's not a misprint. Din-frent is the way my best friend pronounces "different". And this year, things are din-frent. I just found out that she's not racing Florida in November. An injury has sidelined her and she is wisely pulling out of the race.
I am disappointed. Dirty Spice is one of the reasons I tried the iron distance. I watched her do B2B in 2011 and thought - hey, maybe I can do that. Oddly, we've never raced that distance together. I've raced with Falcon Spice twice and was looking forward to racing with Dirty Spice in Panama City Beach. The trip there the past two years to witness a chance a qualifying for her has been exciting, fun and a bit of a reward after my long training season.
Of course, I know things change from year to year. My race in 2014 was different from 2013 and this year's will be more so - a bigger race so far from home. My training has been different all three years. The obstacles are din-frent each year. So are the lessons, the rewards and the results.
I'm using my race day strategies to cope - which one of the reasons why I race: to learn what skills work to make life the best it can be. So, I'm reframing. Here are the positives that I've come up with:
- I'm racing a HUGE race. Ironman Florida is a popular, fun, flat race with amazing people. Lots and lots of amazing people. Last year I raced with almost 900 athletes. This year, there will be 3,000 of us.
- Alone but not alone. I'm not training alone. Dirty Spice is still getting up at the crack of dawn every Saturday to ride long with me. I meet up with the other spice girls for runs or rides or swims. I the only one doing the race, but I'm not training alone.
- ROAD TRIP!! I get to go on a road trip to the Gulf of Mexico in November. I am going to Stand Up Paddle and play shuffle board and soak in the hot tub. And this time, I get to do it with my hubby!
Looking forward to something Din-frent for the next 80+ days!

The next Centre for Global Englishes (CGE) seminar will take place on Wednesday 8th March 2017 from 5:00-6:30pm in Lecture Theatre C, Building 65, Avenue Campus. The seminar is entitled 'Perspectives on multilingualism' and will be chaired by Prof Jennifer Jenkins from the University of Southampton. All welcome!
Here is the abstract for this seminar:
Over the past ten years or so, multilingualism has become a hot topic in linguistics research. Alongside a range of existing and new generative SLA approaches to the subject, a branch of critical multilingualism research, sometimes described as a 'multilingual turn', has developed that includes, for example, a focus on issues relating to mobility and migration, a questioning of the constructs 'native' and 'non-native' speaker, an interest in translanguaging, and a reconceptualisation of 'English'. In this seminar, speakers from each of our four research centres, CGE, CLLEAR, MeXsu, and TNS, will present what they see as the key aspects of multilingualism from their own research and/or research centre's position. The seminar will then open up to debate among the panel and discussion between the panel and audience.

Video: Braulio's Story - Guatemala
Asociación Pro-bienestar de la Familia de Guatemala (APROFAM) is Guatemala's largest provider of sexual and reproductive health services. While APROFAM has become a well-known organization throughout its more than 40-year history, challenges remain in ensuring that all Guatemalans have access to the services they need to lead healthy and safe sex lives.
Groups that are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection– such as men who have sex with men and sex workers–face even bigger barriers in accessing healthcare and information due to stigma and discrimination among both health providers and the community at-large that often makes them avoid public health centers and clinics.
APROFAM soon found that advertising their clinical services through traditional means wasn't sufficient in reaching the most vulnerable clients-they had to meet these clients where they were to gain their confidence and trust.

Beyond Geneva's borders, nobody has yet forgotten the Ring Cycle of the duo Dieter Dorn and Jürgen Rose. Far from a speculative interpretation, this production constitutes a return to the roots that go right back to the classical theatre. On a bare stage a highly credible story develops, which could even portray Richard Wagner as a teacher. However, behind this very obvious minimalism, magic comes into play and the myth remains intact. The return to the place de Neuve will be marked by the resumption of this emblematic production created on the occasion of the bicentenary of the birth of the "Sorcerer of Bayreuth". It has been very widely acclaimed by the international press, in spite of some unfavourable critics who, rather than the epic theatre of Brecht, prefer the Regietheater, whose productions stray from the narrative, in order to embrace some more philosophical or ideological themes. Why is it that so many people in Europe are awaiting the return of this Ring to the stage at the place de Neuve? Starting from the Old Norse and Germanic myths, Wagner wrote this theatrical festival in one prologue and 3 days. He achieved a so-called "complete work of art" (Gesamtkunstwerk), based on the Greek tragedy and the events, which took place in 1848. By portraying these basic myths on stage, which still vindicate today's social hierarchy, Richard Wagner wanted to revive Greek tragedy, which he considered as "what is most profound and most noble in the collective consciousness." The portrayal of the four parts of the Der Ring des Nibelungen in one week, or about 16 hours of music, remains a unique achievement that happens rarely in one lifetime.

Police investigating shots fired at a Cape Coral home while a resident was inside
Cape Coral police are investigating a shooting after a barrage of bullets sprayed a home.
It happened on Southeast 26th Terrace just off Country Club Boulevard early Sunday morning.
Police said someone was inside the home while shots were fired.
The victim told officers he was laying in bed when he heard the gunshots go off and immediately called 911.
When police arrived, they found several shell casings and a laser attachment for a gun on the street.
Bullets hit two cars in the driveway, the garage, front door, and a window.
ABC7 arrived at the scene Monday afternoon and counted six bullet holes.
One of the cars was not in the driveway at the time.
According to the incident report, two of the bullets pierced through walls inside the home with one striking the victim's bedroom window.
Neighbors said the incident had sparked fear in the community, and that this is not the first time law enforcement have come to the home.
No arrests have been made.
Police said there is currently no known suspect.
The victim was unavailable for comment.
Relatives told ABC7 he is staying somewhere else in fear for his safety.

Today at SHOT we were happy to find a new product by Thermacell. This is literally a life-saving product as mosquitoes can carry the deadly West Nile Virus and the woods and marshes I hunt are inundated with these pests. This year they debuted the Max Life Mats which give 12 solid hours of operation time. That means less maintenance and more continual protection. Just another example of innovation by Thermacell.
One of the most interesting things I have seen in awhile is a device from Ozonics that uses ozone (the gas) to cleanse human scent. The idea came from a dentist who uses the gas and developed into something to help erase human scent as it leaves the hunter in the blind.
TFG Digital Publisher Elliott Donnelly fell in love with Sightmark's digital night vision scope. The Photon XT 4.6X425 Night Vision Riflescope retails for $599.
SHOT is full of characters. We ran into this guy who had sort of a Zorro look and did some of the most impressive pistol tricks we have ever seen.
More to come…

Welcome to new visitors brought here by Knit Now and Yarnwise magazines! It has been a bit of a bumper week in terms of media coverage, it is fair to say. I have a pattern in the latest issue of Knit Now. The Botanical Gardens Shawl was a lot of fun to design: it starts off as a standard stocking stitch triangular shawl and then moves into a striking flower pattern which gives way to softly falling petals. I really enjoyed designing something that just flows organically from one stitch pattern into another and which looks clean & non-fussy.
The shawl also served as a master-class in how magazine work actually works. It is not a designer having a definite vision: it is always a collaboration.
I designed this shawl for Knit Now's Garden Party story in December or January. I first envisioned the shawl knitted in lace-weight yarn and in soft pastel colours - a very soft sage green or a pretty primrose. The Knit Now team suggested the gradient SparkLynne 4ply yarn from The Knitting Goddess instead - the chosen colourway ran from a cool white via pale lavender to a dark violet. It was a completely different direction but the graduation works perfectly with the way the stitches travel and a 4ply makes far more sense too. The ombre yarn meant that the shawl was moved from the Garden Party issue to the Colour Graduation issue as well - and the shawl works so well within the context of the other designs in the issue.
(I know that Joy of The Knitting Goddess is planning on restocking her shop with more colour-gradient yarns, so if you don't see a colourway straightaway - keep looking!)
Both Knit Now and Yarnwise focus on my Doggerland collection - Knit Now has a wonderful interview with Fiona of The Island Wool Company and Yarnwise has written an entire feature about the collection(!). I know a lot of people are still trying to catch up on knitting from the collection, so I am slowing things down a tiny bit. The next pattern is a unisex pattern and it should be out by mid-week next week.
So, it has been a bumper week - maybe it is more like a bumper year, really. Apart from the Doggerland collection, I have more 'things' in the pipeline. I am working with Old Maiden Aunt on a special project which will be unveiled in November, I'm collaborating with The Yarn Project, and I am also busy swatching for other 2014 work. I can show you a tiny, tiny glimpse of what I worked on yesterday - any guesses?

Long periods of peace and quiet favor certain optical illusions. Among them is the assumption that the invulnerability of the home is founded upon the Constitution and safe-guarded by it. In reality, it rests upon the father of the family who, accompanied by his sons, appears with an ax on the threshold of his dwelling. -- Ernst Junger

SF gets its pee-pee whacked again
The California State Court of Appeals announced today their decision to overturn one of the most restrictive gun bans in the country, following a legal battle by attorneys for the National Rifle Association (NRA) and a previous court order against the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
I bet there is some foaming about the mouth going on in the City by the Bay about now. Good.
Remember that our task is to never sleep, never quit and never surrender. Don't give the gun-grabbers another inch, and take back what they hold.
The ATF is trying to shut down an NC gun dealer
It's amazing what happens in your own back yard. I'm really amazed that I didn't see this in some of my state's major left-wing press outlets, such as the Raleigh Noise and Disturber.
Jim's Gun Jobbery of Fayetteville and a sister store in Wilmington have been granted a trial in their fight to keep their firearms dealer licenses.
The trial is scheduled for April 21.
The survival of Jim's, one of the area's most prominent gun dealers, may hinge on the outcome.
In 2004, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives revoked the gun sales licenses of the Fayetteville store and Jim's Pawn & Gun of Wilmington. The bureau contended that the stores were lax in keeping records of their gun inventory and sales. Gun dealers are required to keep records in an effort to keep weapons away from criminals.
Both stores are owned by James M. Faircloth of Fayetteville.
The stores say their employees made a small number of unintentional mistakes in record keeping. With the high volume of business, there will be occasional lapses, they argued.
Folks, if you don't believe that the ATF is trying to shut down the firearms business in the US, just how much more evidence do you need? The drastic drop in 01 FFL holders in the past 10 years and the constant attacks on gun shops for inadvertent paperwork violations are just the beginning. Gun owners are winning the war for our freedoms on many fronts, but we're in danger of being overrun from the rear.

This just in
Citi Merchant Services and First Data Corp. are refusing to process any credit card transactions between federally licensed firearms retailers, distributors and manufacturers -- a move which will severely limit available inventory of firearms and ammunition to military, law enforcement and law-abiding Americans.
In their letter of termination, Citi says they are terminating CDNN's merchant account because of non-face-to-face guns sales, which Citi claims violate the 68 GCA. Thus, they are demonstrating their utter ignorance of both the law and how the firearms business legally operates. They are also taking $75,000 of CDNN's money, which they are in control of, to fund "future chargebacks". Of course, if none show up, CDNN can have their funds back in 6 months.
Here's hoping CDNN sues the pants off them. And if you'd like to pass your thoughts along to them yourself, you can contact them at 888-299-4391. That's a toll-free call folks--they get to pick up the dime while you let them have a piece of your mind.
Now if you will all excuse me, I'm going to check my wallet and make sure I don't have an Citigroup credit cards. Damn asshats.

Somatostatin (SST) is a small cyclic peptide that was first identified as a powerful inhibitor of the secretion of various hormones including growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and prolactin from the pituitary, as well as practically every major hormone from the intestinal tract. SST consists of two major bioactive forms, SST-14 and the N-terminus extended peptide SST-28 that can be produced by a wide variety of neuroendocrine, inflammatory and immune cells. In target cells SST induces a variety of physiological functions that include neuromodulation, cell secretion, cell proliferation and smooth muscle contractility. SST acts on its multiple cell targets via a family of six receptors that originate from five genes: SSTR1, SSTR2a, SSTR2b, SSTRR3, SSTR4, SSTR5. The SSTRs are members of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily and they modulate cell response via multiple second messenger systems such as inhibition of adenylate cyclase, modulation of conductance of ion channels and protein dephosphorylation. SSTRs are expressed widely in both the brain and peripheral tissues but with receptor subtype variations between the different cell types. Thus, SSTR4 is the least SSTR subtype expressed in the brain but is most strongly expressed in the lung, heart and placenta. Strong SSTR expression has been detected in a variety of human tumors including pancreatic, breast, lung and prostate cancers. In fact, SST has been shown to inhibit the growth of various normal and tumor cells. On this basis, several long lasting SST analogs have been developed and are being tested for use in several pathologies such as various cancers, acromegaly, immunoproliferative disorders, diabetic retinopathy, epilepsy and pain. Abgent is pleased to offer a highly specific antibody directed against a highly conserved epitope in the second extracellular loop of the rat SSTR4. Anti-Somatostatin Receptor Type 4 (extracellular) antibody (#AG1018), can be used in western blot analysis and immunohistochemical applications, and recognizes SSTR4 in rat samples.

Rigid-Heddle Weaving: Begin at the Beginning
When you set about learning something new, there is always so much that seems like gibberish—the words, the patterns, the techniques are like entering an alternative universe where everyone else seems to know the lay of the land, but you. When writing Weaving Made Easy, I assumed you know nothing about weaving. You may have some yarn skills—knitting, crochet, spinning, felting—but weaving is a new area of exploration. I used this same attitude in my video workshops, first tackling warping, then weaving on a basic rigid-heddle loom, and finally stepping up to weaving with two heddles. Even when the subject matter gets more complex, I assume that you are coming from a place where you want to tackle the basics first and then you can branch out into learning all the crunchy details and endless nuances.
I take a "less is more" philosophy. My goal is not to be comprehensive—giving you every possibility—but rather to tell you what you need to know to get started. There are many ways to get any given task done, and learning one simple way first will allow you to gain confidence in your new skill set. Then you can get creative from there.
My book and videos teach you how to weave. Although each book or video includes projects which demonstrate the techniques I'm teaching, the focus is on the know-how. How do I warp my loom? How do I wind a shuttle? How do I keep my edges straight? Make joins? Take the cloth off the loom? Set up and weave with two heddles? I dwell on the crunchy details that I know trip beginners up, and I offer you plenty of encouraging words along the way.
There is so much in the weaving world to explore, and with a solid foundation you can travel wherever your imagination takes you. I'm still on that journey, and I hope you will join me.
—Liz Gipson

In the first big-air competition of the FIS World Cup season, Yuki Tsubota wasn't going to bust out anything brand new.
Relying on old standbys like the left 900 tail grab and a right 540 mute grab, Tsubota took third in the competition at Cardrona Alpine Resort in New Zealand on Sept. 7. Her two-run combined score of 146 was narrowly off the 147.8 posted by runner-up Caroline Claire of the United States. However, Canadian teammate Elena Gaskell set the standard with a two-run score of 170.4, including a best run of 93.
"Elena killed it. I'm really proud of her," Tsubota said.
Even though only five competitors started the event, Tsubota was happy with her performance, especially as she shakes off the summer rust.
"It was a good way to start the season. It wasn't the biggest field of girls, which was unfortunate. Some of them got hurt and some of them decided not to come," she said.
Tsubota, a two-time Olympian, described the event as one where competitors needed to hit the ground running, as she estimated the jump to be roughly 100 feet (30 metres) in height, whereas the other jumps she's encountered are usually about 15 to 20 metres.
"I did tricks I knew how to do well and executed them well. It was a really big jump. To be honest, it was probably the biggest jump I've ever hit, so it was scary," she said. "It was one of those things where you need a couple days to get used to (it).
"The day of the contest was perfect weather, no wind. You couldn't have asked for better weather, which was nice."
However, the days leading up to the competition were difficult as the conditions refused to remain consistent, and Tsubota explained competitors couldn't make many assumptions from one run to the next.
"(In training), we had a little bit of headwind, tailwind," she said. "It was hard to get used to it and get comfortable doing your tricks."
"It dipped down so much in the belly and you had quite a long way to go up the jump, so you'd lose a lot of speed ... There were days where we were tucking from the top and just making it.
"It can be really hard to judge your speed because you're coming in so fast, your clothes are just flapping everywhere. It feels the same every time but it's not."
Tsubota said she's now home for two weeks, then off to Switzerland for another camp. The next World Cup is in Austria in November
"It's more of a jump camp," she said of the Swiss trip. "It's just nice to get used to hitting big jumps again."
Gaskell, in her first-ever victory, was joyous after stomping her run.
"My training was bad so I was nervous coming in. My first jump, I kept it pretty simple just doing a 720. Then my second jump I did one of my harder tricks, the switch 12 and landed so I was pretty stoked. It's a good way to start the season off," Gaskell told the FIS website.
On the men's side in New Zealand, Switzerland's Andri Ragettli edged Canada's Evan MacEachran 182 to 180.4 to claim the win, while New Zealand's Finn Bilous was just back in third with a 180.2.
Canadian Alex Beaulieu-Marchand took sixth and Whistler's Teal Harle ended up eighth. Fellow Canadian Noah Morrison was ninth.

Would you make the jump? Pauline Hagan on how to turn your craft business full time
We've been loving Pauline Hagan's colourful, quirky jewellery label, Benu Made, for some time now – so much so, we asked her to design issue 56's fruity brooch free gift. Pauline recently quit her full-time job and moved out to Prague to concentrate on her craft business, and we were intrigued to find out what made her take the leap and how she's found it.
What made you decide to take the jump and work on Benu full time?
I'd been working on Benu Made for almost two years and it had started to get to the stage where I found it difficult to juggle my full time job in project management and my craft business. This coincided with my boyfriend receiving a job offer in his home town, Prague, and although I wasn't quite ready to leave my job, I decided to make the leap.
I reasoned that going full time would be a lot easier in Prague, where the cost of living is cheap in comparison to London. We also managed to squeeze in a couple of months of travelling in Central and South America between the two – which helped ease the transition considerably!
What has been the biggest challenge?
I've been working in companies for six years, so the biggest difficulty for me was learning how to manage my own time, be disciplined and efficient, whilst working alone from my home studio.
To help with this I write lists, give myself deadlines, split my day into mini-chunks of work, and try to maintain a good life-work balance, keeping my evenings and weekends free.
Why did you decide to move to Prague?
I've always thought that one of the richest experiences is leaving your comfort zone (literally) and trying to make a home for yourself in another country and culture.
The quality of life here is excellent – Praguers live and work at a slower pace, life is cheaper and easier, and it's also super simple to escape to the countryside. I'm learning Czech, which I think is essential if I want to make a home for myself here.
What are the best and worst things about running your own craft business?
There are so many amazing things about running your own business. I love being able to make all of my own decisions and decide where to steer my business, and I find the riskiness of it all quite exciting. The flexibility of being able to work when and where you please is wonderful.
For me, the most rewarding part overall is dealing with so many different aspects of running a business and developing skills in so many different areas. So far, the great bits have really outweighed the bad parts, but at a push I'd say that the negative things are that it's tough, a lot of responsibility and can be stressful.
Is there anything you wish you'd known before you started out?
I was quite rigorous right at the beginning and spent eight months experimenting with naming, designing my launch collection and meticulously researching everything before I took the plunge and launched. I would have liked to be a bit braver and more confident at the beginning and just had the guts to just go for it, without worrying so much.
What key advice would you give to other makers keen to turn their craft businesses full time?
Find the situation or compromise that works well for you – mine was quitting my career and moving to another country, which at one point did feel like a slight compromise, but actually turned out wonderfully. And finally, find your niche, make sure it's special and unique, and most importantly, make sure you love and believe in whatever it is!

Michael Jordan's career, 1984-2003, and LeBron James's career, 2003-present, have brought about interesting conversations throughout the population of the world and among all sports analysts. The NBA, National Basketball Association, has seen a lot of talent throughout the years, but LeBron James and Michael Jordan are arguably two of the best to ever play the game.
Michael Jordan came into the NBA in 1984 out of The University of North Carolina and was the third overall pick. During his career, he had a total of 32,292 points, 5,633 assists, and 2,514 steals. Jordan was a dominate force in this basketball era, grasping six NBA titles, according to the NBA website.
Michael Jordan had a tremendous career in which he made himself the face of basketball worldwide. Despite Jordan's outstanding career and abilities, James said, "Oh, I take myself. For sure. I mean, I'm gonna take myself versus anybody," reported Adam Reisigner of ESPN.
LeBron James entered the NBA in 2003 out of St.Vincent-St.Mary High School and was the first overall pick. LeBron is at the peak of his career but has still put up amazing stats: 26,188 points, 6,866 rebounds, and 6,635 assists. James, a prolific player, has two NBA titles, according to the ESPN website.
James already has more rebounds and assists than Jordan had in his entire career, but Jordan has four more rings.
Scottie Pippen, former teammate of Michael Jordan, said in an article published by Tom Haberstroh on ESPN, "Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play in the game, but I may go as far as to say that LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game because he's so potent offensively that not only can he score at will, but he keeps everybody involved and you have to be on your P's and Q's on defense because no guy on the basketball court is not a threat to score when LeBron James is out there."
What's the deciding factor in who's better: rings or stats?
Boys' Latin assistant basketball coach Mr. Morrissey said, "That's tough. They are both so good in such different ways. MJ was a pure scorer and a hard nosed competitor. He would have won eight straight championships had he not played baseball for two years."
Coach Morrissey went on to say, "However, I think James has had a bigger impact on his teams. He has consistently carried his teams to high win totals and successful seasons when he has a very subpar supporting cast. Taking the Warriors to six games basically by himself last spring was an impressive display of dominance that I'm not sure MJ would have matched."
Jaylin Andrews, star basketball player at Boys' Latin, said, "LeBron is better than Michael because he can do more all around and he is stronger. He can guard the post and score wherever and whenever he wants to. He makes his whole team better."
Aside from discovering which player is better, each of them has had a lasting impact on the basketball community in their cities and worldwide. Each talent has brought joy to the millions of people looking to watch good basketball.

You may have been to a beautiful Caribbean island, and dreamt of having a vacation property that you you could visit year after 2010? Have you ever gazed longingly at the brochure of some exclusive resort, however, you knew you couldn't afford to go there? Then keep reading because of the fact dream may be closer to reality than you think.
What is Marquis Jet Sergey Petrossov? The fractional ownership Jet card program acts just like a timeshare in sorts, by letting customers to order a specific amount of flight hours. Flight hours are ordered on a Marquis Jet card. You can purchase as many hours as you like, nevertheless, you have to buy hours in increments of 25 hours and hours.
If you're faced with selling challenges, unusual business conditions or want to shift to new markets faster or in a method you never have before you will benefit greatly by working with one greater coaches.
One of the highest advantages you can get out of charter fraction aircraft ownership is to save your time on ground transportation. There are many small airports all around the globe where these types of charter fraction aircraft ownerships can easily take off their flights so you shouldn't waste period on making up ground your luggage and to access the cab. Don't you think so you should get a good experience from having this flight, which is not only comfortable but also keeps you away from miserable delays of regular flights? When you will be on this jet, positive if you really have the difference.
In most cases, remaining partners either want shop for out the share or find someone they comfy to take over. So there must be some terms in the partnership agreement that allow a reasonable time for that remaining partner(s) to arrange the funds or to find a suitable person to step back.
Just 12 minutes after the FAA ordered that all flights adhere to the ground, American Airlines Flight 77 (59 passengers and crew), out of Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., Maryland, crashed into the side from the Pentagon. Three minutes later, the FAA demanded looks too aircraft leasing which were currently in the air land at the nearest international. Nineteen minutes later the South Tower creased.
There is absolutely nothing that compares to a reservoir of experience, when you have into hassle. There's more, Lidle was not at a place in his training where he was flying with unconscious specialization. Do you remember when you first of all learned to drive a car a automobile? You had no idea simply how much to turn that steering wheel unless you were actually in the deal of turning it. We call this conscious, and unconscious mess.
Guy Fieri: Great chef, great garage area. He's got a rolling car, wainscoting made from diamond plate, murals and classic auto parts including hoods. You'll think items a diner, drive-in or dive.

Zoeva Eye Brushes Review
I confess that I found out about Zoeva brushes at a time when their Youtube rave-wave was starting to fade.
I was shopping online for beauty products (currently the easiest way for me, as carrying a baby stroller through Douglas – a chain similar to Sephora – can be quite stressful), when I also looked at the brushes section and noticed one brand I never heard about: Zoeva. I was curious, they looked really nice and had good reviews on the site, but of course I wanted to do my own research and was surprised to see a lot of very good reviews, comparisons to MAC or Sigma, but at a much lower cost. I wanted to try all the brushes that appealed to me, and not limit myself to the pre-selected brushes in an eye brush set. My problem was that I could not find reviews for all specific brushes I wanted, so I am writing this post for all those that want to buy "single" eye brushes from Zoeva 🙂 Continue reading Zoeva Eye Brushes Review
Essence – Come to Town Collection Haul & Review
