1. Vatican City has the highest crime rate in the world! With a population around 500 people and a little over one crime per day, the Vatican crime rate is above 100 percent, per capita. Although the fact is shocking it should be remembered that the Vatican is about one square mile in size, and has nearly 20 million visitors annually. Most of the crimes are pickpockets, purse snatching and other petty offenses done by outsiders.
2. The ONLY Christian church in existence for the first 1,000 years of Christian history was the Roman Catholic Church. All other Christian churches which exist today can trace their linage back to the Roman Catholic Church. Most non-Catholic churches which exist today are less than a century or two old by comparison.
3. The Catholic Church consists of more than just the Roman Catholic Church. There are 22 Eastern Rites that are in full communion with Rome and although they go by different names, they are every bit as much a part of the Catholic Church.
4. Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, was Catholic and the first book ever printed was the Catholic Bible.
5. The Catholic Church is entirely responsible for the composition of the Bible, which books are included, as well as the breakup of the chapters and verses. Protestants have removed some books of the Bible because some of the verses were inconsistent with their theology. Martin Luther was a prime offender in this regard, removing Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach and Baruch. He also made an effort to remove James and Revelations, but this was rejected by his followers and those two books were kept. Catholics are often accused of "adding" the books, but despite this common belief, it is false. Older, pre-Protestant, Catholic translations of the Bible include them.
6. How many saints are recognized by the Catholic Church? There does not seem to be an official number, but it exceeds 10,000. Of course, any person who enters heaven is a saint, by definition, so it is certain the number of actual saints in existence is much greater than the number recognized by the Church.
7. Any Catholic may perform an emergency baptism, such as if a person is in grave danger of death. In such a case, the validity of the baptism only depends upon the wishes of the person being baptized, that they desire the baptism. There are specific guidelines for such practices that Catholics should follow. Anyone wishing to be prepared for such a case should refer to the catechism for a deeper understanding of this allowance. Generally, such practices ought to be left to trained clergy.
8. About 15 percent of all hospitals in the United States are Catholic hospitals. In some parts of the world, the Catholic Church provides the only healthcare, education and social services available to people.
9. The Catholic Church spends more money than Apple brings in. Expenditures by the Catholic Church, largely on charity, exceeded $170 billion in 2012, according to The Economist magazine. In that same year, Apple took in $157 billion in revenue.
This is an image of the semi-secret arsenal of weapons available to the Swiss Papal Guard.
10. The Pope is protected by the Swiss Papal Guard. Wearing uniforms designed by Michelangelo and commonly armed with halberds, they are capable of using heavier weapons if needed. Each member is Catholic, male, and Swiss, and must complete military training in Switzerland. They must demonstrate good conduct and be at least five-foot-eight in height. Those who are chosen are granted a private audience with the pope along with their families. In extreme circumstances, they are expected to guard the Holy Father with their lives. The Swiss Papal Guard is the oldest active military unit in continual existence since 1506.

Bluff - Cayman Brac
The Bluff on Cayman Brac is one of the most unusual features of these typically flat Caribbean islands. This limestone ridge runs the length of the island but is most dramatic at the eastern end where it reaches a height of 140 feet then drops off abruptly to the water below. This topography has resulted in a fascinating historical adventure that Brackers still like to relate. And also creates a unique bird-watching site. Then, of course, there's the view is simply majestic. Take a stroll, or prepare a picnic, or even arrange your wedding here - but don't miss experiencing The Bluff.

Off we go
But first, look at this! We ate dinner at the Steelhead Diner again last night and feeling a little more awake than last time, I could take a closer look (and photograph) the fishing flies. This one was labelled with the following details:
Isn't it pretty? Love the purple!
Anyway, Hushpuppies were on the menu and Mary suggested we give them a try. They tasted good, even if she did think that any self respecting Southerner wouldn't recognise them!
This morning we loaded up the car and set off immediately after breakfast (at Lowells again) having put together a picnic of delicious cheese, bread and peaches from the market. We were heading north, eventually to cross the bridge over to Whidbey Island, where we had rooms booked at The Boatyard for a couple of nights.
First, a little retail therapy at an Outlet mall, though none of us were really in the right frame of mind and our only purchases were one bag and three soft drinks! Though there was a Chicos outlet there, we noted that almost everything was labelled "Chicos Additions" and was, we suspected, made for the outlet market rather than being reduced "real" stock. Highly coloured, very patterned and mostly made of synthetic fabrics, these were generally not to our taste at all.
On then, through the rural scenery of dark greens under grey skies, towards La Conner, a small town noted in our guides as being worth a visit.
Spot on – a fine main street with a handful of individual shops in historic landmark buildings. Just right for a potter about around lunchtime, especially since the sun had come out by now. We looked around a couple of stores, one of which had several lovely things to tempt us, but we resisted the urge to buy and returned to our picnic instead!
La Conner was a delightful place and we very much enjoyed our stop. I love this little corner with the poppies, their colour looking especially good against the pale grey clapboard building.
From here, it was a breathtaking ride through the lovely Skagit Valley and on towards Anacortes and the bridge over to the islands.
Such a blue/green landcape, this, becoming more wooded as we reached Whidbey Island.
Whilst the others photographed the view, I was looking closely at the wood, thinking that these patterns could prove useful for the NYC art course next month!
Finally, we reached The Boatyard Inn and boy, were we pleased with our (ok, Mark's) choice! We have a wonderful suite overlooking the water, complete with comfortable sitting area and fully fitted kitchen.
After eating out three nights in a row, it's great to buy in a few bits and pieces and sit and watch TV in such comfort! Mary, too, has a similarly well equipped room and the warm welcome from Mynda, the innkeeper, was delightful.
We have a fair bit of driftwood to explore tomorrow, too!
So, overlooking the Saratoga Passage, we're sitting here eating M&Ms, drinking Blue Moon beer and watching the 25th Anniversary performance of Les Mis on the TV. How good is that?

– local ingredients, and a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, is my next favorite LA eatery called Republique on La Brea. this is a family business and you actually see family working together there (i know, shock)
the classic building and space itself is gorgeous. it was originally built in 1929 by Charlie Chaplin. the cathedral glass ceiling provides warmth and light on the long communal style table, where sharing a coffee and breakfast feels so right. you'll want to stay and chat with friends for hours!

As we strive to practice radical hospitality, stand with those in need, and invite all to experience and celebrate God's living presence, may we live and give generously as a progressive, inclusive, and creative community.
This year we are setting 3 specific "10% goals" for our community that I believe we can achieve together:
1. 10% increase of overall pledges – going from 61 to 73
2.10% increase in total dollars pledged – going from $152,339 to $167, 572
3. 10% increase in each member's pledge over last year's pledge
& Gratitude
The reason we give is to sustain and grow our ministry to those we have not yet met. When a stranger comes to a meal, a social justice event, a performance or for clothes, friendship or curiosity, we are made more Christ-like. God is here especially beautifully when we are face to face.
–Bob Meeker, Trinity Member

Plastic solar panels could be commercially viable in five to ten years. Researchers from Sheffield and Cambridge Universities are working on a print-process, in which two different light-sensitive substances separate into layers of positive and negative conductors and form an electric circuit when a plastic film sets.
Most solar panels currently comprise cells made from sliced, ultra-pure silicon, so making them out of plastic could dramatically reduce costs.
A printing press process would also mean solar panels could be made in much larger volumes.
Installed global solar PV is growing quickly in response to incentives to find low-carbon alternatives to fossil fuels.

Legends of Conservation presents…
A Sense of Wonder
A play based on the life and works of Rachel Carson
Written and performed by Kaiulani Lee
Kaiulani Lee will be performing at the Etta and Joseph Miller Performing Arts Center in Jefferson City on March 30, 2019
Rachel Carson
Rachel Carson has been called the "Patron Saint of the Environmental Movement." She was a marine biologist and zoologist best known for her book Silent Spring that alerted the world to the dangers of chemical pesticides and launched our modern environmental movement.
Less known is that Miss Carson was one of America's great poets of natural world. In her earlier works she brought alive the beauty and mystery of the seas and its creatures to millions of readers.
In their purest form the poet and the scientist are one and the same. They are the seekers after truth. Through the power of her knowledge and the beauty of her language, Rachel Carson became one of the great champions of the living world.
Carson died of breast cancer on April 14, 1964, in Silver Spring, Maryland. Sadly, she wasn't able to see the environmental revolution created by "Silent Spring," such as the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970 or the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge in Maine in 1966.
Kaiulani Lee
Kaiulani Lee has more than thirty-five years of experience in theater, film and television. Ms. Lee has starred in over a dozen plays on and Off- Broadway. She has been nominated for the Drama Desk Award on Broadway and has won the Obie Award for "Outstanding Off-Broadway Achievement."
Ms. Lee has guest starred in numerous television series from "The Walton's" to "Law and Order." Her film work began with "The World According to Garp" and has continued through "A Civil Action" and "A Bird of the Air." She portrayed Martha Ballard in the critically acclaimed PBS film "A Midwife's Tale."
For the past 24 years Kaiulani has been performing her one-woman play, A Sense of Wonder, based on the life and works of Rachel Carson. The play has been the centerpiece of conferences on conservation, education, journalism, and the environment. She has performed it at over one hundred universities, the Smithsonian Institute, the Albert Schweitzer Conference at the United Nations, at the Department of Interior's 150th anniversary, and in 2007 performed on Capitol Hill, bringing Miss Carson's voice once again to the halls of Congress. A Sense of Wonder has played in every Provence of Canada, in England, Italy, India, Japan, and Bangladesh.
In 2007, Bill Moyer's celebrated Ms. Lee's work with an hour-long interview on Bill Moyer's Journal." A Sense of Wonder" was later filmed by award winning cinematographer, Haskel Wexler, featured at film festivals across the U.S. Canada and Japan and continues to air on PBS.
The Play
The play is the story of a woman's love for the natural world and her fight to defend it. It is the story of the extremely private Rachel Carson thrust into the role of controversial public figure.
Act one
Takes place in Miss Carson's summer home as she is preparing to leave. Fighting cancer, she fears this may well be her last visit to her beloved Maine coast.
Act Two
Begins two months later in the wake of the furor over her book Silent Spring. Carson is simultaneously battling the chemical industry, the government, and the press to get her message to Congress and the American people.
A Sense of Wonder has been created with the help and guidance of many of Miss Carson's friends and colleagues and with permission from the Rachel Carson Estate.

Though based in New York City, Visual AIDS aims to understand the complexities of HIV/AIDS histories and ongoing issues on an international scale. With Visual AIDS artist members such as Stephen Andrews and Andy Fabo living in Toronto, the city has always been on our radar for its active queer scene. Recently, Toronto's pioneering queer history was highlighted in a series of site-specific short docs through the Queerstory App. Visual AIDS spoke with Michael Alstad, the brainchild behind Queerstory, about the exciting, interactive application; its relevance to topics surrounding HIV/AIDS; and the importance of site-specific contextualization. We hope other cities will follow Toronto's lead and create their own apps after the model of Queerstory!
Visual AIDS: Describe the Queerstory App and how the sites were selected.
Michael Alstad: The Queerstory App is an interactive documentary that explores 37 sites significant to Toronto's LGBT history. The app user can take a self-guided walking tour through the city using the map and GPS on their smartphones and experience 47 site-specific short docs with rare archival footage, hidden stories, in-situ interviews, media art and excerpts of documentaries from queer Canadian filmmakers. After a year of archival research and consultations with the community we chose a selection of sites that resonated with Toronto's multifaceted queer history--from pivotal events such as the bathhouse raids and riots to more recent histories like the personal stories from Supporting Our Youth's queer newcomer group, "Express." It was important for us to be inclusive of a broad spectrum of voices and perspectives on the sites and histories.
Describe the location for a few of the HIV/AIDS specific sites highlighted by Queerstory, such as the location for AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT) and the AIDS ACTION NOW demo at the Toronto General Hospital, and others.
The locations of the HIV/AIDS specific sites are mostly in the Church & Wellesley neighbourhood--Toronto's gay village. John Maxwell, executive director of ACT was interviewed in front of the building on Wellesley Street where ACT was officially established in 1983. The interview includes a 30-year visual survey of the posters and brochures from ACT's groundbreaking campaigns. Nearby on Church Street is Cawthra Park, where the AIDS memorial is located and the annual AIDS vigil is held. The video, which includes interviews with Helen Rykens from The 519 Community Centre and Jocelyn Watchorn from ACT, explores the origins of this important monument and event. Another initiative linked to ACT was the Pussy Palace, located at the site of the present day Oasis Spa at the south end of the village. Founded in 1999 by the Toronto Women's Bathhouse Committee, it was the first program of its kind to create a safe space to educate women on the risks of HIV/AIDS. The site of AIDS Action Now's first major demonstration in 1988 was at Toronto General Hospital, located on University Avenue near the University of Toronto. AAN protested the drug trials that delayed the release of an already tested and approved drug to treat AIDS patients suffering from Pneumocystis Pneumonia (PCP). The video includes an interview with AAN founding member Tim McCaskell with some important archival video of the 1988 demo and related media interview by documentary filmmaker David Adkin.
What unique qualities about the Toronto queer scene have you learned through the process of putting together Queerstory?
Putting together Queerstory was an amazing learning experience. I discovered how understated Toronto's place as a world leader in progressive LGBT policies is--from the first city in Canada to pass an anti-discrimination policy based on sexual orientation to the first city in the world to have a government legitimised same-sex marriage in 2001--politically, socially and culturally the queer community was pioneering. A quality that's evident across most of the stories was the community's perseverance in the face of police harassment, censorship, public hostility and discrimination. The personal sacrifice, political commitment and enormous resources required in the fight for equal rights was unprecedented in Canada's civil rights history. Another notable quality was the sense of unity, both within the community but also to other marginalized communities that were the target of police harassment and violence.
Are there any particularly noteworthy sites, histories or videos that you would like to highlight?
I'd like to highlight the video interviews with John Sewell, mayor of Toronto from 1978-80. Sewell championed gay rights at a time when the community was experiencing heightened intimidation, raids and arrests by the police. Sewell put his neck on the line by calling for the legal protection of gays in his speech at the Freedom of the Press Rally in 1979--an event to protest the police raid and criminal charges against the Body Politic Magazine's three staff members. Sewell's speech, as well as his endorsement of George Hislop, the first openly gay candidate for municipal office in Canada, generated a backlash from the local media and the police force.
Some other noteworthy videos are those exploring Toronto's early queer cultural history in film, theatre, and music. Genderqueer singer Jackie Shane was an essential part of Toronto's 1960s music scene--his song "Any Other Way" hit No. 2 on the Canadian charts. Winter Kept Us Warm, a film shot at the University of Toronto in the 1965 about two male dorm mates who fall in love, was the first Canadian English language film ever to be screened at Cannes film festival. Fortune and Men's Eyes is John Herbert's 1967 autobiographical prison drama exploring gay themes--the play was translated into 40 languages and produced in over 100 countries. The Lesbian Organisation of Toronto, LOOT, was Canada's first Lesbian Centre--several of its members formed the popular dyke bands Mama Quilla II and No Frills.
An interesting discovery made during my research at the Canadian Lesbian & Gay Archives was through their collection of rare Toronto tabloids--Hush Free Press, Confidential Flash, Justice Weekly--that dated back to the 1940's. During a period when homosexuality was invisible in the mainstream press the tabloids were full of reports on Toronto's gay scene--mostly scandalous and sensational stories with a homophobic stance. Ironically these tabloids became a source for gay men and lesbians to find one another as the stories revealed the places and spaces where queers rendezvoused. One of these sites was the lesbian bar The Continental in Chinatown where the tabloids reported on "mannish women congregating" and "gorilla girls rioting." Despite these sensationalised and sometimes erroneous stories, the tabloids have proven to be a valuable resource--when decoded--for queer historians and researchers.
What can queer communities learn from an attention to site-specificity and hidden queer histories?
An important process in the production of Queerstory was the in-situ interviews. We noticed a pattern with our interviewees--that being situated in the sites where the histories occurred triggered their memory with renewed insights and reflection on the events. I think the process of walking through the city and exploring these sites is an experiential and fun way of discovering and learning about queer history. One good example of a significant queer site that could easily be overlooked is the City Park Co-op--through high density urban planning and architecture the three building apartment complex, opened in the 1954, appealed to single young gays and drew a critical influx of queers to the neighbourhood which eventually led to the formation of the gay village. Another obscure site linked to hidden queer histories is 4 Kensington Avenue an old Victorian house in Toronto's colourful Kensington Market that housed a collective or writers and activists that formed the basis of Toronto's key queer orgs.
I see the Queerstory App as a type of "digital plaque" that commemorates and preserves queer history and allows for a more multidimensional and sensory-based experience of lived history as it relates to the urban environment. The site-specific element is especially important in a city that's undergoing an unprecedented building boom where neighbourhoods have been completely transformed by new development. Several of the Queerstory locations, including the Barracks site where we interviewed Andy Fabo (a Visual AIDS artist member), and the site of the old St. Charles Tavern, are slated for demolition to make way for condominium developments.
How do you hope people will interact with Queer Story and what do you hope people will take away from it?
With 37 locations to traverse through, the Queerstory App tour might be a challenge to explore in one continuous walk but I hope people will take time to experience the complete tour. Several site "clusters" emerged--Kensington Market area/UofT, King Street East/Old Toronto and the gay village--so the tour can be geographically segmented into smaller mini-tours. Also for those without smartphones the videos can be viewed on the Queerstory website and sorted by subject--art & culture, community, activism and bars. We encourage the public to leave comments, personal stories and reflections about the histories on the Queerstory YouTube channel or our Facebook page. We also encourage educators to take advantage of the Queerstory App as a teaching resource for students and LGBTQ youth.

Roger Ideishi is a pioneer in the Philadelphia area for transforming public places into welcoming spaces, especially for families of children with disabilities. During the past four years, Ideishi has focused his work of transforming the city's theatres, museums and concert halls from places where families with special needs children felt isolated and scrutinized, into welcoming havens where no one is judged.
Partnering with local cultural and arts institutions for training and education, Ideishi takes time to meet with the individual institution to make a tailored plan to focus on how best to accommodate the young patrons with special needs. Working with producers, directors and production crews, Ideishi finds out what small tweaks can be made to a performance to make it more accommodating. This can be as simple as informing families of expected loud noises in the program, or asking the sound crew to temper the volume slightly during the most intense pieces. Ideishi's work is not only confined to Philadelphia, he has also worked with cultural organizations across the U.S. such as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Museum, as well as collaborating with colleagues in Australia and the U.K.
"One of my agendas is that these organizations fundamentally change the way that they view accommodations, the way they view disability, so it becomes an inherent part of everything they do," says Ideishi. "Not just what's easiest to do, such as, 'Let's put a ramp in at the entryway,' but to really create 'ramps' for every single person, whether they need a cognitive ramp or a sensory ramp or a hearing ramp." Ideishi says his goal is to maintain the integrity of the performance or exhibit, not to create a special event for those with special needs. "We're trying to create an inclusive environment that everybody can come to and experience the same thing."

How to be a BOSS When you're an Introvert
There's a weird misperception out there that to be a Bad A** BOSS lady, you have to be an extrovert. Well, I'm here to to dispel that myth…forever!
I am an Introvert. AND a BOSS lady.
And while the journey hasn't been entirely easy, I've figured a thing or two out and I'd like to share it will any fellow introverts out there, thinking it can't be done.
The fact of the matter is, introverts are every bit as awesome as the most exciting extrovert is. Just in different ways. We are listeners, processors and thinkers. And those are great things to be!
Roughly 4 in 10 top executives, including Larry Page, co-founder and former CEO of Google. If Larry Page can do it, then damnit, so can I! I've found that the trick to being a BOSS as an introvert is learning what works for you and what doesn't.
By knowing what you are (and aren't) capable of, you can learn how to use what you've got to succeed.
Here are some things I've learned about how to be a Bad A** BOSS Lady and an Introvert:
Learn how to turn your perceived weaknesses into strengths
For some reason, introverts get a bad wrap. They come off as shy or disinterested. Maybe somewhat awkward. But nothing could be father from the truth. We are simply observing, taking mental notes, and listening.
By learning to play into your strengths, you can put them to work! I find that I'm pretty good at putting people at ease and engaging in authentic conversation. I may not be the most bubbly one in a group, but put me one on one with someone (or two on one) and it's game on.
The importance of listening
This is the biggest superpower we introverts have! The better you are at it, the more people will talk to you. The more people talk to you, the more you can get to know them. This skill is a blessing with clients and employees alike. Listening makes people feel heard. And when people feel heard, a bond is made.
Surround yourself with your DREAM team
Finding a dream team is hard, but oh so important! Finding the right people who work well with my quieter, more reserved (yet still playful and totally awesome) approach to business has resulted in productive teams that allow success to flow.
Create a productive environment
Balance is key here. While I could easily work alone, it's not for everyone. By creating an environment that allows for quiet time and interactive time everyone stays satisfied and productive.
Know when to take a break
As any introvert knows, being around people for too long can be exhausting. We introverts get our energy from alone time. So when you start to feel depleted, take the space you need to recharge. A little self care can go a long way.

Value- 5
Overall Rating- 5
Kindle eARC
Reviewed by Jen
I am a huge fan of Alex Lucian's tempting series and Addicted just became my all time favorite book in the series. Don't worry though if you haven't read the other three books this book can be read as a standalone. This book had it all hot sex, great characters, and amazing storyline that makes you want to reread the book the moment you finish it. I couldn't put this down and as soon as I was finished I was mad at myself for reading it as fast as I did. You seriously do not want to pass up this book—-go buy it now. You will kick yourself so hard if you don't read this book!!
Addicted is the story of Ruby and Elias. Elias pays for Ruby for what is suppose to be one night however after that one night he just can't get enough of her. Not only does her body set his on fire but her brains, personality, and just everything about her has him wanting more of her. For as much as Elias wants Ruby, she finds herself breaking one rule she never thought she would- falling for a client. Will Ruby and Elias be able to make their all consuming addiction to one another into a real relationship or will their jobs and desires in life keep them apart?
As I stated earlier this book is soooooo good!!! I just loved Ruby- she quickly became one of my favorite lead females in a book. She never made excuses for herself and always took responsibility for her actions. Although she was an escort she never let that title define her. Elias is all alpha who knows how to treat a woman like they should. Guys should totally take notes from him. I can only hope that there will be more installments and more characters in this Tempting series.

Tips To Maintain Your Skin Youthful And Also Attractive
While some people are naturally blessed with perfect skin, others have to work a lot harder to get it. However, with some effort, shining, luminous skin is definitely something you can achieve! This article will tell you what you need to know to get the beautiful skin you've been dreaming of.
Give yourself the benefit of the doubt when it comes to your skin care. By switching to taking warm showers instead of hot ones. By doing this you will keep your skin from drying out as a result of being too hot. Dry skin is one of the leading causes of wrinkles and irritation.
Avoid touching your face unnecessarily. If you pay close attention, you will notice that you put your hands to your face quite frequently throughout the day. This spreads germs and oils from everything you touch onto your face. Wash your hands and face often to clean off these oils and try your best to stop this bad habit.
If you wear eyeglasses every day, they should be cleaned on a weekly basis. The dirt and grime that's left on your glasses clogs up pores. Scrubbing the bridge with some soap and water does the trick.
A great way http://annecyapero.com/?content-by-gavin-horton-necessary-evils-basic-requirements-of-senior-care-profit-venture-marketing.html to get rid of unwanted blemishes is to use a well known vegetable. Cucumbers are actually great for helping clear up your skin. Just grate up a cucumber and rub in into your face, just like a face wash and you will feel refreshed and be blemish free, in no time.
If the skin around your eyes doesn't look its best in the mornings, use teabags to help reduce puffiness in your eyelids. Steep two caffeinated teabags in a cup of icy water for a few minutes. Squeeze out the excess water, and rest them on your closed eyes for ten minutes. The tannins in the tea will help reduce inflammation, and the caffeine will keep excess blood-flow at bay.
Vitamin B3 skin cream helps reduce red blotches and improves your skin's appearance. It also helps increase the moisture in your skin. With a couple weeks of daily use, you should see skin that looks healthy and feels supple.
If you are trying to get better skin care, start out by trying to use a lesser expensive product. Not only do the more popular brands cost more, but they can also contain things that may irritate your skin and cause you to get worse skin than what you started with.
If you want your skin to have a light golden glow, then you can mix in a small amount of tan lotion into your moisturizing cream, so that the lotion penetrates your skin. This has been shown to give a person's skin a beautiful healthy glow that is sexy and beautiful.
A great skin care tip is to be aware of certain skin care myths. A common myth is that drinking a lot of water will give you great looking, healthy skin. The truth is, the amount of water a person drinks has little to no impact on how healthy their skin is.
Make up can be part of your skin care routine each day. Using a foundation with sun protecting capabilities can keep you from getting too much sun on your face. Removing make up each night helps to make sure that your skin gets cleansed of oils and dirt that is collected from your environment each day.
Makeup with an illuminating moisturizer will make your http://www.celleraterx.com/ face look better. These contain light particles that can conceal blemishes and help your skin reflect light in a flattering way. They also are good for your skin and regular use of them can lead to better looking natural skin.
If you don't want to switch foundations in the summer, mix some sunscreen into the liquid version of your favorite product. You also have the option of buying a foundation with built-in SPF protection. However, many times you will need to add extra sun protection to your face. Just adding a few drops of sunscreen can be beneficial.
Try to put focus on your hands and feet. People take care of their face, neck or limbs, but ignore their hands and feet. If your feet's skin is very dry, use a moisturizer on them and put socks on prior to going to sleep. To hydrate your hands, slather on moisturizer and cover your hands with cotton gloves or clean cotton socks for a couple of hours. Just one treatment will make you a believer.
Do not buy a skin care product just because it contains "natural" ingredients. More and more products claim to be natural these days. This does not mean that they are more effective. According to regulations, "natural" only means that pesticides were not used in the production of the product's ingredients. This means very little when applied to skin care products.
Acne and other skin eruptions should never be treated by squeezing, popping or other direct contact. Not only do such actions spread infectious bacteria to other vulnerable skin areas, but the fingers also transfer dirt and oil to the affected areas. Other treatments are far more reliable and safe for resolving acne successfully.
Given that the skin on our hands are extremely thin, and have a limited amount of moisture, we must apply moisturizer frequently to keep the balance. The moisturizer will help to keep the hands supple and smooth and youthful looking. Especially after washing your hands, or when they are in water, keep the moisturizer handy.
Although sunshine and fresh air can be a great treatment for your skin, it can also be quite harmful if you do not apply a moisturizer with built in sunscreen. Neglecting to use sunscreen can easily lead to skin cancer because of the damage from the UV rays from the sun.
The information in this article contains lots of great ideas on how to properly look after your skin. This information can only help your success if you choose to apply it to your everyday lifestyle.

A couple of weeks ago, my fellow Warrior Mom and friend Nicole over at Healing Mutti posted a picture on my Facebook wall with an encouraging message. (I tried finding the picture, but it's disappeared-stupid Facebook!) I had been having a rough couple of days and her simple message of love was effective, lifting me up out of the funk I was in. A few minutes later, I received an event invite from her to an event called "Piercing the Darkness: Leave a Note," and being the curious person I am, I checked out their page and was blown away. The event itself is worldwide and is quite simple: leave a note of encouragement and hope somewhere someone can find it...on a community bulletin board, bathroom mirror, grocery store shelf...anywhere it can be found. The organizers describe the event and their community as
The purpose of Piercing the Darkness is to help be a source of light in the world in these times of darkness. We do easy, simple things that help others feel a little better, and in turn, we feel a little better, too. It's a baby step towards bringing light back into this perpetually darkening world.
We are non-denominational. We are non-political. We are unaffiliated with any group. The only reason we exist is to help spread light and positive energy in a depressed world - to help you, to help ourselves, to help each other. We welcome you to join us, and are honored to share our path!
Pretty incredible right? Think about it: each of us want to contribute something to the world right? We all secretly or not so secretly want to make an impact on others in some fashion, don't we? We all want to do something meaningful, something great...but I think oftentimes get discouraged because we think we have to do something huge and monumental to make a difference. We just honored the legacy and memory of the great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The impact his work had on our country and the world can be felt and seen today-40 years since the dismantling of Jim Crow...and while he was a gifted orator, a prominent civil rights leader and had incredible insight & vision, he at one time was just a man with a simple message: LOVE. Non-violence. Love each other.
You and I may not be Dr. King or any of the other incredible people we admire, but we all have something to contribute; we can all do acts of greatness through simple acts of love every day, right?
That's why I signed up to assault my local Target, Walmart & campus with random notes of love & hope. That's why I sent tweets and text messages with words of encouragement for the people in my life who encourage and lift me up every day.
And as great as it feels to be able to lift someone else up anonymously or let a friend know you think they rock, it feels just as wonderful to receive a dose of hope right when you need it most....like I did when my other Warrior Mom & friend Jaime from James & Jax text me this lovely note:
You may not be Mother Theresa...but you can help shine a little light into someone else's darkness. All it takes is a sharpie, a piece of paper, and an ounce of courage to leave it for someone to find.

Euro crisis spreads to Eastern Europe
The Euro has been pulled-down further as Hungary has drawn attention to the scale of its own debt, raising alarm-bells that the Eurozone crisis is spreading to Eastern Europe. This week both Germany and the UK are preparing their nations for heavyweight budget cuts that will be unprecedented in both their scale and effects.
Pound Sterling – UK Markets
The Pound is still in a very strong position against the Euro and was trading at 1.2090 at 10.20am today. David Cameron is to deliver a hard-hitting speech this morning that warns of the painful budget cutting decisions that lie just round the corner and will affect the day to day life of all UK citizens. He is expected to spell out that the UK's deficit problems are much worse than anticipated but that early intervention will be crucial in order to protect the economy and maintain the confidence of investors. Both Nick Clegg and Vince Cable from the Liberal Democrat side of the coalition have fallen into line with the Conservative view of swift and weighty budget cuts. Labour is still criticising this approach by claiming that budget cuts rather than increased spending to boost the economy is the wrong way forward. Vince Cable, however, has promised that spending cuts would be balanced by pressure on banks to increase lending to small businesses and new apprenticeship schemes. The emergency budget is due on the 22nd June.
US Dollar – US Markets
The Dollar has clawed-back ground against the Pound and Euro over the weekend. However, speculation is circulating that the US economic recovery may be heading for a slowdown similar to its experience in 2002. Although employment figures released on Friday revealed increases, these did not meet expectations. For example: payrolls only increased by 431, 000 compared to an anticipated 536, 000. US retail sales are expected to have slowed to 0.2 percent in May following a gain of 0.4 percent in April. Whilst the unemployment rate in May fell from 9.9 percent to 9.7 percent, it has remained above 9 percent for one year now. Economists are suggesting that potential weakening Government support and persistent high joblessness could be the key factors that prevent the US economic recovery from shaking off its fragile state and could cause a slump.
Euro – European Markets
The single currency has hit an eight-year low against the Yen and once again hits a four-year low against the Dollar. At the end of last week Hungarian Government officials compared their own nation's debt woes to Greece's, causing immediate panic that the Eurozone crisis has spread to Eastern Europe. This caused both the Euro and the Hungarian Forint to slide; since Friday Hungary has tried to retract their claims. However, the information that was revealed suggested that the previous administration in Hungary manipulated figures about public finances and that, in reality, their debt levels are comparable to that of Greece. In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel is preparing Germany for a decisive round of budget cuts to save 10 billion Euros a year, following two days of Cabinet talks. Merkel has stated that budget tightening by all nations will be the only way to ensure the Euro stabilises and this will also protect Germany's AAA rating.
Other Currencies – Highlights
Following the G20 meeting on Friday and Saturday, it has emerged that Europe is demanding lower budget deficits whilst the US warns against pushing exports instead of domestic demand. The G20 nations have pledged to 'safeguard recovery'. November deadlines were set for creating new rules to improve capital held by banks, although a European and US proposal to tax banks to cover the cost of bailouts was thwarted. The Japanese Yen has gained as investors have sold higher yielding assets. The new Prime Minister Kan will be announcing in a few weeks plans to reduce public debt and sustain a 3 percent growth rate.

Exceptional 9.6 From 26 reviews
Really enjoyed everything about Chania and Casa Leone. We'd highly recommend it. Great location and great service. Try and get one of the rooms overlooking the Bay if you can.
We could not have picked a better location or boutique hotel in Chania than the Casa Leone Hotel. There was old world charm combined with excellent service, the best breakfast we had in Greece and located close to the best restaurants in Chania. Virginia our host could not have been more hospitable. We booked relatively late and had to split our nights between the honeymoon suite and another room. Both were extremely comfortable, quiet and the complimentary bottle of wine was a bonus. It was a pleasure to stay there.
Perfect hotel. Lovely friendly staff. Delicious breakfasts. Clean cosy. Perfect position overlooking the harbour.
Charming little place sitting right on the waterfront opposite the mosque. Look for the name on the building. Tricky to find entrance in back alleys. Super friendly and helpful. Excellent location. 10 minute walk to bus station. Romantic!
The hotel is in a nice spot of Chania, a bit quieter than most of the city, which we found to be more crowded with tourists than we expected (I think because of large cruise ships that drop their passengers off during the day).

How Bolsheviks ran the economy
Here's another excerpt from Amity Shlaes's book. This follows a paragraph that tells about how Herbert Hoover, then a mining engineer and not yet president of the U.S., was working on a mining estate in Kyshtim, Russia, which provided a livelihood for 100,000 and was rich in copper and other metals. Page 30:
The events in Russia had strengthened Hoover's conviction about the need for firm leadership in Europe and even the United States. In 1916 Bolsheviks began agitations at his own Kyshtim plants. In 1917 the Communists took power, throwing out the ownership and management at Kyshtim and giving themselves a 100 percent raise. The Americans on the project were sent off on trains to Vladivostok, but the Russian experts were brutalized or even killed. What made it worse was that without the experts the delicate Kyshtim furnaces broke down within a week; the Communists could not read the blueprints left behind that would have told them how to do repair work. "In a week the works were shut down, and 100,000 people were destitute," Hoover recalled, rightfully disgusted, in his memoir.

This month our theme at Emerald Creek is Anything Goes.
Do you ever get an idea and just run with it? I was playing with the Butterfly Stamp and it happened to fall on her head. I just kind of ran with it.
I used a ton of embossing powders to make all of the butterflies. Here's the rundown of colors:
I colored the butterflies using Distress Markers, Distress Crayons, and Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks.
I used one of Tim Holtz's Etc Tags. These are a super thick board and come in three sizes. This is the smallest tag. I started with a thin layer of gesso that I smeared on with my fingers. I added some paper using my Distress Collage Medium.
I covered the board with Dina Wakley Media Paints and Distress Paints.
Once the paint was dry I stamped my Kimilese 3 Stamp in Jet Black Archival ink. I added another couple pieces of paper on top since my original layer was pretty well covered. I also splattered paint all over the tag.
Once this was done I just piled on the embellishments. I placed my girl on first and then decorated around her. I love her necklace made out of Amethyst Gemstones and a teeny Tim Holtz butterfly.
I love the little butterflies I made out of Shrink Plastic.
Don't forget to pop over to the Emerald Creek Blog for your chance to enter this month's dare and win $50 to the store.

Police arrest person of interest in Spokane woman's death
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Spokane Police say have arrested a person of interest in death of a 22-year-old woman found shot in her apartment last week.
KXLY reports that police on Thursday located 28-year-old Cameron Keith and arrested him on an outstanding warrant. Jail records shows he was booked into Spokane County Jail on Thursday.
Police have been looking for Keith to question him about the death of Christen DeMars, who died of her injuries March 24 after being shot. Demars had a restraining order against Keith and police say he may have been at the scene around the time of the shooting.
The Spokesman-Review reports the Spokane County medical examiner has not yet ruled whether DeMars' death was a homicide and said that determination would come after further police investigation.

To John Adams from Abigail Smith Adams, 25 November 1798
Quincy Nov'br. 25 Sunday 1798
My dearest Friend
You have been So good writing at every Stage when you put up for the night, that I have been able to follow you with pretty exact calculation. I thought however that mrs Smith would overtake you at New haven I received yesterday mor'g your Letter from Lovejoys and was rejoiced to find that mrs Smith had come up with you, more so, as the unpleasent weather must have retarded you on your journey; if it was half as bad with you as here, I took a ride in the Sleigh yesterday afternoon towards Milton. The whole Earth looks like mid winter, and the Snow is 4 & 5 foot deep, in Banks driven together and consolodated so that it will lie at the Sides of the Road till next March or April at Plimouth & Hingham there was very little, not much at Weymouth but the nearer you advance towards Boston the deeper it is, if it had fallen level it would have made excellent travelling, our Timber has been rafted on sShore at Mr Brackets landing, but no carts could get to it, and we were threatned with a repeated Snow Storm: I sent mr Porter to get Foxon & his two Teams and French's yesterday with ours. they Hauld 16 load and if the weather hold good we hope to get the rest tomorrow, but the Boards have not yet made their appearence. mr Porter supposes they will be Rafted as the timber but it is tedious cold work as they are obliged to work in the water. the vessel would not venture. She was so large to mr Blacks creek, they raft from Germantown. mr Black speaks highly of the goodness of the timber, but begs you would not Spoil the Building by too short posts. 18 feet post he says. Captain Beals says 20—or build a common open barn as it is call'd with 16 and the Coach House by itself with 20. they both agree that the additional cost will be only the Side boards—and that a Building 90 foot with 16 foot posts will look very Grotisk and ugly. But this for future consideration. mr Black is fully with you & so is Capt Beal respecting the placing it in a line with the House—and I believe they have more judgment on these matters than the dr—
I think Nelsons victory must be true for it comes confirmed so many ways and by persons who have seen the official account, that it can be no longer doubted. it is an event which will have great influence in America, and the Authenticity of it a good prologue for the opening of Congress—"Who is there to care for Logan? not one." Have you seen the Letter said to be written by Barlow to Baldwin I fear you will miss it. it is publishd in Porcupine paper of 10 & 11 Nov'br. If he was really & truly the writer I hope he will instantly be Stripd of all diplomatic power—a disgrace to his Country a reproach and a Scandle.
I went to see Brother Cranch one day last week the first House I have put my foot into since I came Home. I found him very weak and low, tho I hope mending as his cough and fever have abated, but he cannot stand many of these turns at his Age. he now sleeps better, but the dr thinks he will scarcly get out this winter. I have had a week without a sleepless night. my mind is more setled & less anxious and I hope I am recovering my usual strength. my fever has also absented itself for a week, and to day tho very cold, I wrapt myself warm & ventured to meeting half a day; I hope I have not taken any cold. Michial behaves very well as yet, & I begin to feel like a House keeper again. Billings came yesterday, and I setled with him, and paid him nineteen pounds Six Shillings in full. He says he shall come next Summer & work for you.
I want to hear from Brisler & Family. I fear you will be so occupied when you get to Philadelphia that I shall scarcly get a line a week—My Love to William tell him to mind my injunction of an open Ear, but a close mouth.
tell me who and who inquires after me as if they cared for me. The N York paper and Porcupine have undertaken to regret my necessary absence from the Seat of Goverment. I suppose they think you will want some body to keep you warm & knowing that you are not a David, commissirate your lonely Situation. The paragraph from the N York paper is a very precious one to me—
Remember me to all my Female Friends. I have the vanity to think that the Federal Reps and Senators will miss me this winter.
I am as ever your
Abigail Adams

You can interpret the song in any way, but personally, it's about this guy I was really into. And he actually joked around and said, "Oh, we have the same kind of crazy." That's where I got the title from, and I worked my way around it. Then I took it to this writing session with Stefan Skarbek, and we made the song in two days! So it just came together really quickly!
I decided to do the video as a celebration of a breakup because sometimes the guy you're into can drive you crazy.... But then, when it's over, you eventually can see who he really is and think, "Oh yeah, it's good I dodged a bullet." So that's what I wanted the video to be about. That's why I'm partying with the girl [in the video]. She's actually my cousin. I begged her to be in it. So that's what the premise of the video is.

text: Mumbai - For past few days, demonetisation has stirred the atmosphere in the country. Some are pro and some are against it. The opposition also has mixed views about this decision and now families are also showing rift on this issue. Most famous family of Bollywood, the Bachchans also seem to be divided on this issue. Amitabh Bachchan already has welcomed this move and compared the new Rs 2000 to his latest movie Pink and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan called this decision as a 'daring move'. But Jaya Bachchan seems to be singing a different tune. She was seen at Mamta Banerjee's dharna against demonetisation along with Samajwadi Party MP Dharmendra Yadav. So its clear that Bachchan pariwar is not 'Sath Sath' on this issue.

My life according to Instagram.
A few little changes and updates in the life of me:
1. I am officially a full time freelance photographer! I sadly left my position at the MacKenzie Art Gallery to take on photography full tilt. Scary but so exciting. Have camera, will travel.
2. New studio! Woohoo! My studio mate (Jared Carlson) and I have been busy with painting, new furniture, art hanging, and the whole shebang. Soon it will be all done, can't wait. Although, it is causing me to slowly go broke - "This lamp is $100? But is has a deer on it. Yes, I will buy it." Better pictures of the sudio coming soon.
3. The past few months have been a busy few with a lot of shooting, from weddings, engagements, editorial, commercial and art performances. I have amazing clients. I really do.
4. A new project in the works with graphic designer and fellow ACAD'r Danielle Tuchelt. Still ironing out a few things, but think design/photography/ creatives/projects/resources/cahoots. Hoping to fill a void (and finding reasons for us all to get together for a few bevies) for all the visual communication artists in Saskatchewan.
5. I got two new pair of glasses.
6. I am being Tina Turner for Halloween. Can't frick'n wait! With Halloween and the MacKenzie Gala Art Auction's theme of hard rock/heavy metal, I am very happy that October is providing me with opportunities to wear all my sparkly and leopard print clothing.
I think that is all for now. Stay tuned.

Roger Goodell became the ninth commissioner of the National Football League (NFL) after being chosen to succeed the retired Paul Tagliabue on August 2006.
Several commentators have described Goodell as "the most powerful man in sports". He officially began is tenure on September 1, 2006, prior to the beginning of the 2006 NFL season as the commissioner, he also is the President of the NFL Charities.
The family move to Bronxville, New York, in 1971, where Goodell graduated from Bronxville High School. He was a three sport star in football, basketball and baseball.
He was captain of all three sports and named the schools athlete of the year. Injuries kept him from pursuing college football. Roger Goodell graduated from Washington and Jefferson College of Washington, Pennsylvania in 1981 with a degree in economics.
He secured a position as an administrative intern in the league office in New York under the tutelage of then Commissioner Pete Rozelle.
In 1983, he was hired by the New York J E T S as an intern, but he returned to the NFL league office in 1984 as an assistant in the public relations department.
In 1987 Roger Goodell was appointed assistant to the president of the American Football Conference (Lamar Hunt) and under the mentor ship of Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, Roger Goodell serve in a variety of football and business operations roles, followed by his appointment as the NFL's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in December 2001.
During his tenure as NFL COO, Goodell took charge of the league's football operation, officiating and supervised the league business functions.
He brought a business background to the position after serving as president of NFL Ventures, which includes the NFL's business units, media properties, marketing, sales, international development and strategic planning.
Goodell help negotiate the leagues current collective bargaining agreement. He played a pivotal role in realignment, stadium development, expansion, the launch of NFL Network, and securing new television agreements.
Roger Goodell was one of five finalist, along with Gregg Levy, Frederick Nance, Robert Reynolds, and Mayo Shattuck III. The league needed 22 votes from the owners to choose a commissioner.
With Goodell being the favorite, he garnered only 15 votes to Levy's 13, along with 3 votes scattered among the other candidates an the Oakland Raiders abstaining.
On the second and third ballots, Goodell and Levy were the only candidates to receive votes Goodell 17 and Levy 14.
Roger Goodell increased his lead to 21–10 after the fourth ballot, falling one vote shy of election, but on the fifth round of voting two owners swung their votes to him to achieve the necessary two-thirds majority vote (Goodell 23, Levy 8).
The Oakland Raiders abstained from the voting in each round.
On August 8, 2008, Goodell was chosen to succeed Paul Tagliabue and assumed office on September 1, 2008 — the date Paul Tagliabue set to leave commissioner office.
Tennessee Titans corner back Pacman Jones and Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry were the first two players to be suspended under the new policy, and Chicago Bears defensive lineman Tank Johnson was suspended months later due to his conduct involving weapon ownership and drunk driving charges.
I remembered when Adam Pacman Jones was suspending by the NFL and the commissioner Roger Goodell. On October 14 2007 in Duluth GA, I took my daughter to see a live TNA wrestling event Bound for Glory and who do I see at the event.
Its Pacman Jones and his partners Ron Killing and Rasheed Lucuis Creed. Pacman could not compete because of his non contact agreement with the NFL and the Tennessee Titans but it was fun to watch him come out with the ring introduction and his music he's bad, he's bad, he's bad. "What a event!"
On August 31, 2007, Goodell suspended Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson for five games with a $100,000 dollars fine, and suspended New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison four games without pay, after they admitted the use of banned substances for medical purposes and to accelerate healing, respectively.
The league let Wilson know that his punishment will be more severe because the league holds "people in authority in higher regard than people on the field."
On September 13 2007 Goodell fine the New England Patriots and their head coach Bill Belichick after finding out that the New England Patriots tried to video tape the defensive signals of the New York Jets on September 9th.
The team was fined $250,000 dollars and the loss of their 2008 first round draft pick. Belichick was fined the league maximum of $500,000 dollars without suspension.
Goodell stated that the fine was more effective than the suspension of Belichick.
On October 19, 2010, the NFL handed out several fines to players such as Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Falcons Corner back Dunta Robinson, and New England Patriots Safety Brandon Meriweather after they were involved in controversial hits the previous Sunday.
Goodell release a memo to every NFL team in the league stating that "It is clear to me that further action is required to emphasize the importance of teaching safe and controlled techniques, and playing within the rules.
The NFL, along with NFL broadcasters, and fans reaction to the hits were controversial and Goodell came under criticism from several players who felt like he had assumed too much control and power over fining and suspending player for just playing football.
I agree with Goodell about teaching the proper techniques for tackling. Most players are taught to use their helmets or they aren't shown the right way when contact is about to happen, from pee wee to college football.
If this is not so then why do we see it. A lot of coaches started from pee wee to little league coaching because their son or relative is playing, and to live their lives through their son, their ego, etc...
I coach 10 and under football and I would have to stop the players and go over and show them the correct technique for tackling and when a player is about to collide with another player.
You should always, lead with your shoulder pads, not your helmet. Leading with the helmet can cause damaging effects then and down the line as players get older.
During the lockout, at the request of some NFL teams, he held conference calls with season ticket holders where he discussed the collective bargaining agreement and conducted question-and-answer sessions on various NFL topics.
This is why I wrote about the commissioner of the NFL Roger Goodell, I see a man who loves what he is doing and I watch that during the 2010 NFL Draft.
On April 22 2010, I watch the defensive tackle from University of Oklahoma Gerald McCoy, minutes after being drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers third overall pick in the first round comes up and bear hugs Roger Goodell while being welcome the the NFL.
Goodell didn't shy away from the embrace, that really stuck with me and I became a fan of Roger Goodell. The second incident is when I watch the commish sign autographs for the fan during and after the draft.
My eye got watery and I am a fan of Roger Goodell. Keep up the good work Mr. Goodell.

Do you attend the rehearsal?
We typically do not attend the rehearsal as our planning tools and talk through cover all the details we need to be prepared and execute the ceremony music effectively. The only instance we would recommend a DJs presence at a rehearsal would be if the musical cues are unusually complicated. If you give us the order of the processional, which songs to play, and who is the cue for me to start each song, we're set. Much of this is covered on the forms and certainly talked through with whoever is involved about one week before the wedding.

text: I heart eggplant images and i am test driving a Nikon d3100 a friend loaned me. Always been a Canon girl (current D60) but I may go over to Nikon. The d3100 is very light weight, fits in my hand really well and, after watching an instructional video on YouTube, I am able to easily work it. The 18-55 VR lens seems to be doing the trick. I really like the glass.
