Even in this era of massive home entertainment centers with gigantic big screen TVs and surround sound systems, there's still something about the comfort of community when it comes to watching sporting events. And what better place than the local sports bar to watch that big event? Whether it's the Super Bowl, World Series, March Madness, or other big game of the week, these are sure bets when it comes to where to watch your favorite teams in San Diego.
Jolt'n Joe's
Address379 Fourth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101, USA
Phone+1 619-230-1968
Jolt'n Joe's is a great place for drinks, eats, billiards and—of course—watching sports. Now with two locations (La Mesa and the Gaslamp), the venues are spacious and offer all the required amenities for the sports enthusiast. The newest location in the Gaslamp (in the former Gaslamp Billiards Club) even has a rooftop patio.
Shakespeare Pub and Grille
Address3701 India St, San Diego, CA 92103-3727, USA
Phone+1 619-299-0230
If you want that quintessential English Pub atmosphere and also want to catch your favorite team during World Cup soccer time, this is the place. Shakespeare Pub and Grille is a genuine English pub with tasty beers on tap and menu items featuring traditional British fare.
Bully's East
Address2401 Camino del Rio S, San Diego, CA 92108, USA
Phone+1 619-291-2665
If you prefer your sports watching in a more old school atmosphere while sipping some libations, Bully's East is the place for you. Known for its steaks and prime rib, Bully's is a comfortable establishment with low lights and lots of wood. It's often been a favorite of pro athletes, who will pop in after games at nearby Qualcomm Stadium.
McGregor's Ale House
Address10475 San Diego Mission Rd, San Diego, CA 92108, USA
Phone+1 619-282-9797
This laid-back bar, in the shadows of Qualcomm Stadium, is unassumingly tucked away in a strip mall. Despite that easy-to-miss location, it's become a favorite of locals.
Address1400 Camino De La Reina #115, San Diego, CA 92108-1512, USA
Phone+1 619-299-4668
OK, so they're known more for their, uh, hot wings, but Hooters restaurants are also sports bars, with a number of TVs situated throughout the venue. You can find San Diego locations in Mission Valley, the Gaslamp, Rancho Bernardo and Pacific Beach. There is also a location in North County in Escondido.
Dave and Buster's
Address2931 Camino Del Rio N, San Diego, CA 92108, USA
Phone+1 619-280-7115
What can you say? It's a Chuck E. Cheese on steroids for adults. The games arcade tends to make sports watching secondary, but it's fun anyway, if you don't mind high prices and sensory overload. You have to experience it at least once in your life and a sports game is a good excuse to do so.

|新疆の考古学的調査 : vol.1
On May 7th, Dr. HEDIN discovered what he calls Ruin II, not very far from the first mass-grave in the delta. There was a small wooden structure on a terrace 13.2 m. above the water level. HEDIN calls it a ruined house. Of course it may have been a house, but it may as easily have formed part of a tomb structure, because at a depth of I m. they came across a grave.
There was no proper coffin, only two horizontal logs placed parallel to each other. With the ends resting on the logs were nine irregular wooden boards 3944 cm. long, and covering fragments of a skeleton.
Fragments of a pair of raw-hide slippers, and two baskets were taken from the site. One of them, Pl. 25 : 5, is of the same well-made type as those usually found in the graves of the autochthon Lou-lan people. The pattern is not exactly that found on the baskets from "ÖRDEK'S necropolis" but resemble the decoration of the small baskets found in the Lou-lan region. The other is a big flat shovel-shaped basketwork of a type that is still used for winnowing corn in China, Turkistan, India and so on, Pl. 25 : I I. In grave L. S. 3 STEIN found three of these basket "trays" covering the coffin (Stein 1928, Pl. XXVIII). That our specimen has been long in use is seen from the repair of the bottom.
37: I. Small basket, neatly plaited; small, 37:2. Shallow basket-work tray of long
nearly flat bottom surface, the wall narrow shovel-shape, with upturned
widening upwards (though not so much as is edge round one end, which is rounded. The other seen in Pl. 25:5, which shows the basket in its end is finished off flat and square. The basket-present flattened shape). Decorated with horizontal Mork is strongly woven. Damaged, partly mended zig-zag bands of glossy grass. Part of the rim with a piece from other basket-work of finer
damaged. Has had a handle of strings fastened weave. Size about 60X40 cm. Pl. 25:11.
37: 3-4. Two pieces of the same thin basket-
on the outside of the wall with separate coils. work as 5. G: 2.
Manufactured in the same way as the baskets 37: 5-6. Toe part from a pair of raw hide slip-
found in Cemetery 5. H. 15.5. cm. Diam. about 12 pers, the hair turned inside. Sewn
cm. Pl. 25:5. with the seams turned inwards.
On May 19th Dr. HEDIN'S men discovered another cemetery on a mesa situated a few hundred metres to the east of STEIN'S locality L. F., which is a ruin and a cemetery. Across the mound there was a kind of palisade running from SE to NW, 3.9 m. long, the distance between the two lines of poles being from o.86 to 1.04 m. Near this palisade four graves were found, one of which was examined.
It contained eight skulls as well as other human bones. Of the funeral deposits

Pansies: a warm welcome in the cool season
Pansies are such a friendly-faced flower! But until the 19th century most people considered them a weed. Today, pansies are a hybrid plant cultivated from those wildflowers in Europe and western Asia. Much of the collection and cultivation of pansies can be attributed to plantsmen and women in the UK and Europe more than 200 years ago.
For example, Lady Mary Elizabeth Bennet, daughter of the Earl of Tankerville, and her gardener cross-bred a wide variety of Viola tricolor (common name "Heartsease") and showcased their pansies to the horticultural world in 1813. Further experiments around the same time eventually grew the class to over 400 garden pansy varieties.
Garden pansies (Viola x wittrockiana) are a mixture of several species, including Viola tricolor. Oftentimes the names "pansy", "viola", and "violet" are interchangeable. However modern pansies are classified by the American Violet Society as having large-flowered blooms with two slightly overlapping upper petals, two side petals, and a single bottom petal, with a slight beard in its center.
They're considered annual bedding plants, used for garden decoration during cooler planting seasons. Pansies come in a rainbow of colors: from crisp white to almost black, and most all colors in between. They are also a great addition to your spring or fall vegetable garden as they are edible and pair well with lettuces. They can also be candied and used to decorate sweets or other dishes.
Most pansies fall into a few categories: Large (3 to 4 in.), Medium (2 to 3 in.), Multiflora (1 to 2 in.), and a new category of Trailing pansy.
Some modern large-flowered pansy series are Majestic Giant Mix, Delta, and Matrix. Medium-sized pansy series include Crown and Imperial. Multiflora pansy series like Maxim and Padparadja won All-America Selections awards in the early 1990s. See all-americaselections.org for all of the award-winning pansies.
New on the scene for hanging baskets and ground cover are WonderFall and Cool Wave® pansies – the makers of Wave® petunias. These Trailing pansies spread over 2 feet wide and overwinter in fall gardens. Today's garden pansy varieties can fill any sunny space – large or small, hanging overhead or growing underfoot – with soft fragrance and happy blooms.
Space your pansies 6 to 10 inches apart in a well-drained and fertile soil location. The best location is an area that receives morning sun. Adding granular or time-release nutrition to the soil is encouraged, especially for trailing pansies as this increases their vigor and number of blooms. Offer plenty of water at planting and during their adjustment period to help establish roots and minimize stress. Mulching can help retain moisture and reduce any weeds that may compete with your plants. Pansies planted in the spring will enjoy the warm days and cool nights of the season. Most V. wittrockiana will begin to diminish or go out of flower as nighttime temperatures begin to rise in the summer.
Yes, pansies are the perfect annual during late winter and early spring producing instantaneous color. Such a soothing solution to help gardeners transition into a new growing season.

The 14 Best WMS Slots You'll Ever Play Online (2019 List)
Important Notice: This is not our latest article about the promotions at this online Casino. You might no longer be able to claim this offer. To know what bonuses are available right now, have a look at our Casino bonus page.
⇒ Register here to play all the Slots on this list for free
If you're reading this article, I suppose you visit online Casinos once in a while.
And if you do, you've most probably come across your fair share of Slots created by none other than WMS (Williams Interactive).
Yeah - there are a lot of WMS Slots online.
And (of course!) you don't have the time to play all of them.
That's why I compiled this list of the most amazing WMS Slots machines - so that you could play only the best of the best, not wasting time on the mediocre stuff.
The Best Williams Interactive Slot Machines Online
Below, you can see my top 14 best WMS Slots.
Read their reviews and choose the one that looks the most interesting.
The button below each picture will lead you to an online Casino, where you can play the games both for free and for real money.
And, if you choose the latter option, you'll also get a Slot bonus to help you along the way.
Aftershock Frenzy
Aftershock Frenzy is a WMS Slot game for those who just can't get enough of classic Vegas Slot machines.
It's as simple as a Slot can get - three reels, five paylines, and all the traditional Casino symbols like sevens and bars.
However, there's a bit more to it than meets the eye.
The game features some cool Wild symbols that will make your gameplay much more exciting:
- Double Aftershot Wild. Included on a payline, it gives you 2x the win. If you manage to get two of them, the game pays you 4x the win.
- Triple Aftershock Wild. This one pays you 3x your win.
In case you manage to get both of these symbols on a payline at the same time, Aftershock Frenzy will reward you with x6 your win.
Elvis the King
One of the best WMS Slots in term of design, Elvis the King is the perfect real money game for the fans of the King of Rock and Roll.
It's also a good one bonus-wise.
The Elvis Feature will give you a set of up to 20 free spins, which can pay you up to 100x your total bet.
In case you're wondering, the RTP of the game is 96.06 percent.
So, feel free to spin the reels of Elvis the King and maybe you'll land a lucky combination on one of the Slot's 80 paylines.
Bier Haus
Can't wait for your annual trip to Oktoberfest?
Then, try out Bier Haus, a fun German-themed Slot machine by Williams Interactive.
On the other hand, you can enjoy this game even if you're not a fan of all-things-German. That's because of the cool bonus features Bier Haus offers.
For example, you can win up to 80 free spins if you collect five Gold Features and manage to retrigger the bonus.
What's more, all the Gold Feature symbols get replaced by a sticky Wild in the bonus mode.
Bruce Lee
Have a soft spot for martial arts?
Check out this Slot that will make you watch all the Bruce Lee movies all over again.
Cool theme aside, Bruce Lee is also amusing when it comes to the gameplay itself.
Expanding Wilds, free spins bonus (up to 20 spins), and 60 different paylines make this game fun to play, both for free and real money.
The best thing about this video Slot is the fact that it pays you for all the winning combinations you collect per spin.
Gems Gems Gems
Gems Gems Gems is a beautiful online Slot with a twist.
It differs from other WMS Slots, and here's why.
Instead of one set of reels, it offers four of them - which only means four times more fun.
So, this is how it works:
As there are four sets of reels, the Slot can use the Super Multi-Pay feature. So, when a Wild or a Scatter appears on the main reels, the game transfers it to all the other reels.
This allows you to collect winning combinations more easily.
Amazon Queen
If you want to play a video Slot that is both amusing and beautiful, give Amazon Queen a go.
Its design is pleasant to the eye thanks to the green color palette and cute animal pictures.
In addition, Amazon Queen is one of the most generous WMS Slots when it comes to bonuses.
That's because you get trigger up to 100 bonus spins on a single spin - if you collect at least three symbols with the fierce Amazon:
Knight's Keep
Knight's Keep is a fantasy-themed WMS Gaming Slot with 192 ways to win.
Like most WMS Slots, this game doesn't have a usual 3x5 grid structure. Instead, it sports six reels with a different number of symbols, which allows for a lot of winning combinations.
Here, the knight symbol is your Wild. It replaces all the other symbols except the Bonus.
Now, the bonus itself is special. It appears only on the reels two to six, and gives you a set of free spins. All you need to do is to collect three, four, or five Bonus symbols and the game will give you five, 12, or 25 extra spins respectively.
Dragon's Inferno
If our list of the top dragon Slots was not enough for you, you can try out Dragon's Inferno, one of the best WMS Slots online.
This fantasy-themed high-variance game has 30 paylines that feature knights, magical artefacts, and, of course, dragons.
In fact, red dragons here are the luckiest symbols, as they act as Scatters. Which, in turn, give you extra spins:
And here's what I like the most about this bonus: the game doubles all your wins that you get during the free spins mode.
Giant's Gold
Giant's Gold is a top WMS Slot with two sets of reels:
This real money game also has 100 adjustable paylines. You can choose to play with 20, 40, 80, or 100 paylines. However, I suggest to play with the maximum number of paylines for the highest chance to trigger the free spins bonus.
The RTP (Return to player) index of Giant's Gold is 96.21 percent, and the maximum prize is 250,000 coins.
If you like traditional Slot machines with five reels and three lines, Kronos will let you take a break from all the unusual WMS Slots from this list.
Originally developed for land-based Casinos, this game is great for those who also love Greek-themed online Slots.
So, open the demo version of the game, set your bet, and spin the reels in hopes for a bonus of up to 100 free spins.
Neptune's Quest
Why should you play Neptune's Quest when there are tens of other amazing WMS Slot machines?
Well, hear this:
Also, let's not forget the beautiful marine theme and relaxing music.
Reel Riches: Fortune Age
Finally, we have an Asian-themed Williams Interactive Slot machine.
However, Reel Riches: Fortune Age has even more reasons for you to play it:
Lock It Link: Night Life
In case you want to play a free Slot that will let you feel like you're visiting Las Vegas, then Lock It Link: Night Life is the game for you.
This Slot features some beautiful images of cars, champagne, diamonds, and skyscrapers. The music is fantastic, too.
In addition, Night Life offers four progressive Jackpots: Mini, Minor, major, and Grand. It's possible to hit one of them with any random spin.
I have only one word for this WMS Slot: magical.
The atmosphere of the Lunaris Slot machine is simply out of this world, complete with pretty images of constellations and enchanting music.
However, it's not the stars you should look out for, but the Moth Scatter, as it gives you extra spins:
With such beautiful art and good bonuses, Lunaris deserves to be on this list of the best WMS Slots games online.

The Conservatives and NDP are working on a plan to pass the next budget. They say there is nothing to be gained from an election. I guess that means there is nothing for them to be gained, Liberals taking away votes from the NDP and Fearless leader figures he can't get a majority. The NDP will play hard to get until they get bought with some tax break or such thing for somebody that in the end will never actually happen.(still waiting on that torture statement from that government group of MP's, so I guess we tortured a whole bunch and they are chicken to say)
Speaking of mistreatment of prisoners I saw a whole bunch of top fellas from the RCMP got a pay bonus.
This is how Conservatives operate these days, spreading disinformation and lies as truths. This is the party that the NDP is haggling with, how can they? There is no Liberal proposed IPOD TAX yet you get this.
And then American news thinks its real, to be honest it's a Fox news station in Baltimore, and to think they won a Grey Cup. Dig this little tidbit.
Speaking of Baltimore, got me thinking....

Today Emma's Kindergarten class had a field trip at the Big Orange Pumpkin Patch. They had so much fun. Here is her class. Emma is on the far left.
Emma got to pick two of her most favorite Pumpkins!
And Jameson wasn't real crazy about the pumpkin pickin thing!
We had lunch, took a hayride, and Emma's most favorite part was feeding the animals...she pranced along making sure every goat, sheep and cow had been fed, telling them to "now wait your turn!" She acted very Cinderella-like while feeding them...it was too cute.
Here is Emma and two friends from class.

Hannah Mae R. Kamsa, RMT
San Lorenzo Ruiz College of Ormoc
Top 5 August 2017 Medical Technologist Licensure Examination
Four years of struggles became four months of agony. But what I have got were lessons; not academically, but morally.
Be a medtech by soul, not by knowledge. When everyone's view become distorted, keep your principle intact.
The adjective that precedes the medtech word is who we are, not the medtech itself. At the end of the day, it will all that matters.
Being respected as RMT is a pride, but being respected as good and wise RMT is a pleasure. Choose to be the latter. Choose to be more, than what is enough.
Failure only breaks you when you let it, so it's the choice of letting it break you that cuts all hopes. How about keeping it under your feet, and using it as a ladder? After all, God granted us ropes for cliffs.
Never ever give up, for there is no one on top that never saw the bottom. The people you meet are all walking books. Some are bare, some are guarded. But they all have something to share: things that are meant to be mystery, and things that can guide us through. Have you ever wondered why the road towards that two-day exam became the most unbearable, yet the most unforgettable part? It is because those moments will always remind us of the choices that made us who we are now. Without those, nothing in the future is worth fighting for. What made me choose ACTS review center? They are radiating motivations; dream, and dream big, they will always say. With them, you will never be alone. More importantly, their exams are constant reminders that second chances are always a plus, not something to be ashamed of.
With these in a mirror, I passed, and I topped. It ain't easy, but what is life without rocks and storms, eh? This is Hannah Mae R. Kamsa, wishing you well and faith, signing off. To God be all the glory!

Thursday 25 October 2018
"The Federal News Agency continues to publish materials about the incompetent behavior of foreign [intelligence] services. Journalists at FAN got through to one of the numbers from which it received SMS threats. From the other side the answer was in English."In a bid to counter U.S. efforts to stop Russians from interfering in the mid-term elections, Russia's infamous troll farm has released yet another patently forged video that is comically bad in its execution.
"He [Vladimir Putin] was not speaking about heaven or where we or they will go, he said, and this is the most important thing which was overlooked by many, that as far as Russia's doctrine is concerned, Russia reserves no right to preemptive strike. It other words, our doctrine provides for no right to preemptive strike."While President Vladimir Putin claims Russia does not allow for a preemptive atomic attack, scratch beneath the nuclear doctrine surface and a first strike capacity is writ large.
"Relations between Moscow and Kyiv deteriorated after the coup in Ukraine, the return of the Crimea to Russia, and the beginning of the conflict in the Donbas."Moscow bears responsibility for the breakdown of relations with Ukraine. It invaded and annexed Crimea and invaded the Donbas.
"There is an old joke... Maybe some don't know it, it will be interesting. It goes like this. Question: 'How do you relax?' Answer: 'I don't get tense." The same goes for tensions in international affairs. We don't create tensions for anybody; we don't create any problems."Vladimir Putin's description of Russia's foreign policy is the opposite of its actual role on the world stage: Moscow stands accused of multiple violations of international regulations and treaties, including ones it has signed.
"We are accused of something, and 'with a high degree of probability,' as they say; we did this or that, intervened here, did something there. At the same time, no one considers it necessary to provide any evidence."Plenty of evidence has been provided to show Russia's culpability in various international incidents, scandals and wars.
"Crimea is ours… And why ours? Not because we came and grabbed something… What is democracy? A government of the people. And how is a government of the people validated? Through referendums, elections and so on. People in Crimea turned out for a referendum and voted… to be independent and, as a next step,… to be a part of the Russian Federation… We proceed from the will of the people living in this territory."Putin once against tries to rewrite the history of Crimea's annexation. Russian soldiers invaded in 2014, and a referendum was staged under the force of Russian occupation.
"Sputnik has obtained amateur footage of the suspected movement of US military convoys along Czech and Slovak roads, with the quiet transfers receiving no coverage from local or foreign media."The Czech Republic and Slovakia are both NATO states. There is little reason to expect any coverage about the movement of a small military convoy through NATO member states, and driving in broad daylight dispels the idea that NATO was trying to hide something about this transfer.
"Stemming from the technical characteristics of the devices, the administration of which worked despite the [fact that] the convoy's electronic jamming system was turned on, the conclusion can be made that the devices were transferred from foreign intelligence."Russian media reports alleging a Western hand in the assassination of Aleksandr Zakharchenko, former head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, fail to offer conclusive evidence.
"There's an alarming situation regarding the issue of chemical disarmament. First of all, this is in connection with the actions of a number of Western states accusing the Syrian authorities with more and more unsubstantiated allegations of using banned chemical agents. We warn [the West] against new strikes on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic under another staged pretext."Despite the Russian foreign minister's "fears" of staged pretexts to justify Western military action in Syria, the Assad's regime's sordid history of employing chemical weapons is far from "fake news.
"A new portion of fake news about Petrov and Boshirov was presented immediately after the speech of [UK Prime Minister] Theresa May in the UN Security Council focusing on weapons of mass destruction, during which she repeated accusations against Russia. There is no evidence, so they continue the information campaign, the main task of which is to divert attention from the main question: 'What happened in Salisbury?' The question is: when will there be any evidence of the involvement of anyone, as London tells us, of poisoning in Salisbury?"Evidence strongly suggests that "Petrov" and "Boshirov" are Russian intelligence agents and involved in the Salisbury poisoning.
"The UK didn't send its submarines to the Mediterranean to strike Syrian government forces amid expected false flag chemical attacks in the country, the Daily Mail reported, citing an unnamed source in the Ministry of Defense...the Daily Mail suggested that the UK's Armed Forces are 'under-equipped, underfunded and under-trained.'"MisleadingBritain did not need to send submarines into the Mediterranean because it has a military base on Cyprus with cruise-missile equipped aircraft.It is not clear whether the cruise-missile equipped HMS Talent submarine actually sailed into the waters off Syria, but in the last British air strike in Syria, cruise missiles were launched from aircraft based on Cyprus. Britain does not need submarines in the region to launch strikes there.
"It [the 2008 Russian-Georgian War] was an operation for the enforcement of peace."International organizations and Russia recognized the conflict in Georgia in 2008 as a war.

Stationed in Los Angeles, Beadle was told of the surprise that she still keeps a New York number. Beadle, a 41-year-old UTSA grad, shared her thoughts on the Spurs, Tim Duncan's jersey retirement ceremony and more in this week's Off-Topic conversation: I feel like every year I've interviewed you. So, whether if it's a party or any other stuff, they show up together as a 'Couple'.Well, the pair hasn't made any public announcement about their marriage or engagement.But first, let us take a small moment and clear the air regarding the rumor of their marriage.
Reporters Marcellus Wiley and Max Kellerman were getting all the fun during the interview as they asked various questions regarding Michelle and Steve's personal life.Source: Twitter Michelle is known for her love for dogs and wrestling and so did Steve.Both of them share similar interest and it seems as if both of them were meant to be together.He is popular for movies like 'Shameless', 'Working Class' and 'Legends'.His career hit the spot after performing in some of the stage acts like 'Seascape', 'Monty Python's Spamalot', '110 in the Shade', 'Once' and more.Many of you know who Steve is but for those you don't know anything about him then let us enlighten you all. I am almost certain each one of us are familiar with the name Michelle Beadle, and in the event that you are here to get some answers concerning her affairs, secret boyfriends and husband, you have hit the perfect spot.But we are pretty sure that they are gonna get married anytime soon now.We can say that because they have already started living together and they look so in love with each other. Source: espncdn Steve Kazee is a Tony and Grammy Award winning actor, and he is a singer too.Michelle is a very hardworking reporter as she is always focused on her job and nothing else.But whenever she has free time she can be seen hanging out with her friends and family.

Meet Freya.
Freya is a graphic designer, photographer and video producer. Her business is going on seven years old now with no sign of slowing down. She's seen steady increases in revenue every year and began paying herself over 4 years ago. Most of her work revolves around branding, design and advertisement for big businesses in everything from finance to sportswear. She keeps digital and hard copies of contracts/invoices, plus she likes to have colour palettes and examples handy just in case a client asks for one. She works solo most of the time but requires the aid of contracted designers and editors on big jobs sometimes.
Freya works with quite a bit of technology. Her serviced office houses two LED screens, a draw-pad, a mouse, a keyboard, speakers for video editing, a custom-built PC tower case, and a few other odd bits and pieces (not to mention the wiring for it all). She also keeps her photography/videography equipment there too, including her cameras, lenses, tripods, batteries, lights, and so much more. In addition, she keeps a filing cabinet in her serviced office full of past contracts and example artwork as backup in case anything happens to her digital copies. Lastly, as a designer, she displays past successes in frames on the walls of her serviced office. Needless to say,
Freya chose a serviced office.
The sheer amount of stuff she had was enough to warrant that decision, but consider the following too:
- The cost of her equipment meant she needed a secure space to put it all without worry.
- She needs a space to meet clients and sometimes her meeting room credits aren't enough, so her serviced office acts as a makeshift consultation room when she needs it.
- She's dealing with sensitive branding campaigns for big companies that don't want their information leaked before release.
Freya found that with prices starting at $850/month, she could afford the cost and justify it with the peace of mind she ends up with knowing her business has a home in her serviced office. Her 60 hours of included hot desk time per month means her contractors can work from a desk when she hires them. She loves that she finds it cleaned every week by a trusted cleaning crew. Also, some of her new clients come from the other serviced office tenants, dedicated desk tenants and hot desk members just outside her door. She felt that the community helped her thrive. A serviced office was the perfect fit for Freya. It may not be the perfect fit for everyone, though.
Meet Elijah.
Elijah is a travel blogger. He lives the dream by flying to new and exciting places while regularly updating his blog site and his social media to reflect on the journeys he's on. His readers find an escape in his writing and his photos. Thanks to his rather large following, he has attracted the attention of advertisers wanting to sponsor him in exchange for mentioning/using their products in images on social media. Elijah has now gone from working odd contract jobs, saving up pennies and scraping his pockets for a budget trip, to traveling almost full time.
Despite being profitable for only two years, Elijah has made enough to pay himself just enough after reinvesting in his business and now needs to move that business out of home with the employment of his first staff member. His employee helps out by editing professional photos, communicating with sponsors on his behalf and doing all the back-end administrative work he doesn't have time to do himself. When moving out of home, Elijah was convinced the only option was an office space. Upon reaching his coworking space, he found out more about hot desks. As soon as he did,
Elijah chose to hot desk.
Since his business is extremely portable, consisting of nothing more than his laptop, a camera and a phone, he finds it easy to arrive at his coworking space and switch workspaces. Being a bit of a nomad by nature, the idea suited him perfectly. He also preferred to be in the thick of it amongst the other tenants. Knowing followers are what lead to business opportunities, he loves the collaborative, side-by-side feel of the coworking space. The person sitting in the hot desk beside him could be different every day and that change, for Elijah, is an opportunity to grow. After a few weeks there, he felt he was far more productive and profitable.
Lastly, having heard that a serviced office would cost him a minimum of $850/month as opposed to $279/month for a hot desk, he loved that he could spend less on two hot desks (for himself and his employee) and reinvest the rest. He's only there part time anyway between traveling every month, so a hot desk was the best way to give his business a home base while allowing the freedom to move. A hot desk ended up being perfect for Elijah despite approaching the move with the idea that an office was what he needed because it was what everyone else got.
What's the moral here? It's simple. Ask questions before you commit to a workspace. Consider what equipment you're using and how portable your business is. If it isn't portable at all, how much physical space do you need? Can you make do with a desk or is there more to it than that. Do you have staff? Are they full time or part time? These questions are what could place you in the space your business needs to be while it grows. So, after asking these questions, are you Freya? Or are you Elijah? If you're still unsure, you might have some luck asking yourself if you're Sophie or Quai too by checking out this article about the difference between a hot desk and a dedicated desk. The options are open to you and your needs. Your role is making the informed decision.

OK, that was actually quite good. This is the first one so far where I've been fully engrossed in watching the episode, without being regularly distracted by something stupid and/or annoying to take me out of the story. The team were a lot nicer to each other than usual, more relatable, and a hell of a lot more competent, despite ending up getting locked in their own base. It was like a proper detective show, where the peril is caused by the machinations of the guest villain, rather than by the heroes being a bunch of clowns.
The villain in question was of course the former decoy team member, and it was great fun to see her getting progressively more evil as her ridiculously complicated plan unfolded. I can just about get on board with the explanation of how she pulled it all off, but I wasn't convinced by how suddenly Torchwood figured it out – it's a hell of a leap that Jack makes from Warden Knot reciting a poem to "Suzie spent two years training this man to unwittingly lock the Hub down".
It's another leap when they're trying to override the lockdown, and Tosh suddenly suggests typing in the ISBN of a poetry book on a keyboard that's not connected to anything. And a hell of a leap takes place when we're told that Gwen has "minutes" to live when they're driving in the middle of the night, and then we cut to the car pulling up in broad daylight. But hey, this is Torchwood – compared to any previous episode, these are just minor niggles.
This was the show finally doing what it promised to do – presenting an exciting sci-fi adventure that's written for adults, tackling heavy issues like the nature of life and death, with some degree of intelligence. That's new. Plus, it's always good to see The Shend, playing a character I have much sympathy with – I usually react like that when I hear the word "Torchwood". Yasmin Bannerman, who is now no longer a tree, was also on hand for the mini Red Dwarf VIII reunion.
I've still got no bloody idea what the hell Jack and Ianto are getting up to with that stopwatch, though.
A short pause now, as I'm busy all weekend. I'm not just putting off watching more Torchwood, honest.

The Beauty Bible: 5 Steps to Create a Natural Makeup Look
Happy Friday, lovely people! As we carry on talking about all things autumnal, today's turn is all about flawless beauty looks and too, how you too can re-create that 'care-free/ barely there make-up look' for yourself this season. The harsher climes can be a tricky time for make-up wearers: our skin starts to loose it's Summer glow, it can dry out with thanks to the cooler weather and where on earth do you even start with products and makeup buys?
Of course, a makeup artist should be your first point of call for beautiful bridal skin. However, to get you thinking radiant skin we have a speedy blog with some of our favourite products and quick tricks to get that 'barely there look' in a flash.
Image: Red on Blonde Photography
Skip The Heavy Stuff
Whether you're having your bridal make-up session, going to a festive party, or your very own wedding, why not skip the heavy foundation base entirely and stick to a tinted moisturiser or simply just cover up with concealer? By covering up darker shadows, spots, or blemishes with just concealer means you won't have to worry about blotting away your makeup along with shine. Dab on a slightly tacky stick concealer, like then Soft Matte Complete Concealer by NARS with your fingers — the denser formula will stay put longer than a liquid.
Not comfortable going entirely nude? Swap full-coverage foundation for tinted moisturisers that evens out the skin tone and adds a hint of radiance. The best thing is that if you choose a good quality one is that you don't feel heavy in the heat. For a sheer glow, look for an illuminating formula, such as the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser. I tell you, it goes on like an absolute dream.

Get a Safe Bronze & Shimmer
Want to be a golden, shimmering goddess this Winter? Of course you do!
Opt for a bronzer with a slight shimmer and peach undertones. Apply over the apples of your cheeks, across the bridge of your nose, and on your temples to mimic where the sun naturally hits your face, this will give the appearance of a glowing complexion. We love NARS Cosmetics Laguna Bronzer, and for a little pop of pink, NARS Cosmetics Orgasm Blush.
To keep minimal makeup glowing, add shimmering light-catching highlights. Blend a touch of liquid highlighter, such as Nars Copacabana Illuminator, on the tops of the cheekbones and brow bones, cupids bow and down the bridge of the nose. It takes a little practice — but once perfected it can complete your 'barely there' make-up look. Or of course, a make-up artist will be able to re-create the look seamlessly.

Make Your Mascara Last
Water-resistant mascaras are the easiest way to avoid dreaded raccoon eyes. But if you find long-wearing formulas irritating, sweep a clear mascara over any regular black one on the top lashes to seal the deal. If you only use a clear mascara on bottom lashes, this will prevent any spotting and give your eyes a more youthful, wide-open and radiant look.
Brown mascara is also perfect for creating that 'barely there' look with less of the drama, just make sure it's water-proof for your most important day!

Brighten Your Eyes
Smudge a deep copper eye shadow all over your lids for an autumnal take on smoky eyes. This look will compliment the bronzer on your face for a much more sculpted look. Alternatively, use shimmery golden pink for a softer, more romantic touch. It will add light to the eyes and pair pretty with nude to deep-plum lip hues.
Choose from Long-wearing cream-to-powder eye shadow in a glimmering shade. We adore MAC Cosmetic's paint pots for extra brightness, longevity and perfectly defined eyes.

Kiss Heavy Lipstick Good-Bye
Bright stains and tinted balms offer a healthy hint of colour for the warmer months, but if you desire that bolder look, tap on a bright, deeply pigmented lipstick with your finger, blot, then repeat until you reach your desired intensity. This also will keep your lippy on for longer with no feathering, too. Win-win!
Alternatively, you can't go wrong with a sophisticated nude or light brown, which we are sure that will tie your overall makeup look together seamlessly.

How will you be wearing your makeup this Autumn? Will you be skipping the drama and opting for a fuss-free and oh-so gorgeous natural makeup look? Let us know, beauts!

The traditional Hoa Lu Festival will take place from April 24 to 27 in Hoa Lu, Vietnam's first capital, in the northern province of Ninh Binh.
This year's festival marks the 1050th anniversary of Emperor Dinh Tien Hoang naming the country Dai Co Viet, in 968AD; the first feudal state with central power. There will be a fireworks display in celebration.
Together with familiar ceremonies, the 2018 festival also includes cultural exchanges between former Vietnamese capitals and other provinces as well as with Asan city in South Korea and Oudomxay province in Laos.
There will also be a photo exhibition on the beauty of the local people and landscapes, a music and dance program, various temple festivals, and folk games.
A workshop will also be held on the role of the Dai Co Viet Empire in Vietnam's history.
For the first time, Ninh Binh province will also organize a tourism week to promote the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After Dinh Bo Linh defeated 12 warlords he ascended the throne in 968 and named the country Dai Co Viet, meaning A Great Viet. Hoa Lu, the homeland of Dinh Bo Linh, was selected as the capital and existed as such for 41 years (968-1009), including 12 years of the Dinh Dynasty and 29 years of the Le Dynasty. In 1010, Emperor Ly Thai To moved the capital from Hoa Lu to Thang Long, today's Hanoi.
Hoa Lu Ancient Citadel has become a popular destination for tourists with a host of historical and cultural attractions, such as palaces built by emperors and temples worshiping Dinh Bo Linh and other emperors and Gods within the beliefs of local people.
The citadel retains the ancient fortress built by the Dinh Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago. The imperial palace is three meters underground. The perimeter is built based on natural advantages: the nearby mountains provide a good background, the deep valley act as a "basement", and the rivers supplied water and were a hazard for any enemy to cross. Tourists can also see old items used by the royal family in ancient times.
The Hoa Lu Festival (also known as the Truong Yen festival) last for three days, from the 10th day of the third lunar month.
The festival includes two parts: worshiping with a water procession at the Truong Yen water station on the Hoang Long River and worshipping at the two temples of Emperor Dinh and Emperor Le. Entertainment includes folk music, a Chinese Han script writing competition, chess, dragon dances, a beauty contest for Hoa Lu women, and folk games. It brings back memories of olden times and helps young people get to know more about the traditions of their ancestors.

Born in East Los Angeles to a body painting hippie musician and a dysfunctional mother who taught her to shoplift at the tender age of 9, Candye Kane has definitely lived a blues life. At 16, she set aside her dream of becoming a professional musician, forsaking a music scholarship at USC Music Conservatory. Like so many young girls in the ghetto, she became an unwed mother involved in the gang culture. She went on welfare to support herself and her young son. Realizing that welfare and food stamps were barely enough to survive, Kane became a sex worker. She appeared on the covers of over 150 magazines, with titles like Hustler, Juggs and Floppers. Soon Candye was a columnist, writing a monthly advice series for Gent Magazine. Simultaneously, she became involved in the burgeoning punk rock music scene of the early 80's. Hollywood was brimming with musical talent and she found herself starting country punk bands and befriending and sharing the stage with musicians as diverse as Fear, Black Flag, Social Distortion, The Circle Jerks, Los Lobos, The Blasters and Dwight Yoakum.
Being a sexual libertine gave Kane a respected position in the anarchist musicians pecking order. She took her money from the lucrative sex business and began subsidizing her musical dreams. She hired musicians, wrote songs, booked studio time, plastered flyers all over Hollywood, got off welfare - all the while supporting herself and her child from her sex work bounty.
In 1986, Kane caught the attention of CBS/Epic A & R Head, Larry Hanby. She was signed to a developmental deal and recorded her first demo with Grammy Winner Val Garay. Kane was marketed as a country singer but her chance for the golden ring was doomed. CBS dropped her when they found out about her checkered past. Managers and Agents encouraged her to lose weight, renounce her past and basically change everything about herself.
Discouraged and broken hearted, Candye moved from Los Angeles to a sleepy beach community in San Diego. She married Paladins bassist Thomas Yearsley, gave birth to another son and became a Women's Studies Major at the local Community College. She continued to write songs and accidentally discovered the brash blues stylings of Big Maybelle, Big Mama Thornton, Etta James (who Candye has opened for several times) and Bessie Smith. The Blues was a place where women had colorful pasts - many were plus sized like herself. Most had grown up in oppressive, horrible circumstances and yet were still able to make music and celebrate their sexual lives.
Candye Kane found a home in the blues.
In 1992, Kane met siblings Clifford and Susan Antone at the SXSW conference in Austin, Texas. The Antone's became close friends and fans and in 1994, Kanes' first cd Home Cookin' was released on the Antone's record label. When Kanes' second son was 7 years old, she started the relentless touring pace that she continues today.
Since her first Antones' release, she has recorded 7 cds for labels that include Discovery, Rounder/Bullseye, Sire records and Germany based RUF records. Kane's latest release, White Trash Girl (RUF1084/USA release June 7th) is an autobiographical walk through her colorful life. Her seventh CD was recorded entirely in Austin, Texas. Produced by WC Handy Award nominee Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff, the CD features performances by Austinites; Gary Primich, Former Fabulous T-Bird Preston Hubbard and piano legend Riley Osborn. The songs are gutsy and humorous, tender and provocative. Early reviews are fabulous. The May 2005 issue of Mojo Magazine says: "Kane is a superior belter of raunchy blues. She is candid, saucy and great fun."
Candye's live show is the stuff of legend. She honors the bold blues women of the past with both feet firmly planted in the present. She belts - growls - shouts - croons and moans from a lifetime of suffering and overcoming obstacles. She'll deliver a barrelhouse blues tune or a soulful ballad and then slay the crowd with her balls out rendition of "Whole Lotta Love" Led Zeppelin style. She often says she is a black drag queen trapped in a white womans' body and she dresses the part. Bedecked in bright colored feathers, sequins and rhinestones, Kanes' performance is Mississippi by way of Las Vegas with a quick stopover in San Francisco.
Kane plays 250 dates a year all over the world and has appeared on countless television shows. Her live band features her now grown firstborn son, Evan on the Drums. She has headlined the Monterey and San Francisco Blues Festivals, The Notodden Blues Festival in Norway, The Waterfront Blues Festival and many, many more.
Awards include the Best Blues Band award at the San Diego Music Awards 7 times. Other recent honors include winning the Trophees France International Award 2004 for Best International Blues Chanteuse and Artist of the Year. She also unseated Jewel for Artist of the Year at the San Diego Music Awards and won the California Music Award for Best Swing/Cabaret Artist.
She continues her busy touring schedule, beginning 2005 with a 75 city tour of Europe and Scandinavia with The Blues Caravan, a well-received package that included her labelmates, Ana Popovic and Sue Foley. Her audience is a mixture of the disenfranchised; Bikers, blues fans, fat girls, queers, porn fans, feminists, men who love fat girls, rockabilly kids and everyday folk flock to see Candye and hear her message of love and empowerment.
Yes, her story reads like a made for TV movie or an episode of the Jerry Springer show. But Candye Kane's story is 100% non - fiction. She persevered in spite of the people who discouraged her and tried to force her to conform. She survived her own way, on her own terms.
But don't let any of these facts be the reason why you book a show with Candye, or choose to write an article about her. Listen to the voice that The Washington Post has described as "A natural wonder like the Grand Canyon." Tap your toes to the infectious, sometimes humorous songs Candye writes with their messages for the lonely, hopeless, downtrodden and unloved. We think you'll agree that Candye Kane is just what the doctor ordered. She's a diva who is here to help us celebrate our sexuality, shatter stereotypes, live our dreams and have a damn good time on the dance floor.

WB Police takes wanted CPI (ML) Red Star member on transit remand
Bhubaneswar: West Bengal (WB) police will take arrested politburo member of Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Star, Alik Chakraborty, on a 4-day transit remand.
The permission for transit remand was granted by the CJM court in Bhubaneswar today.
Alik was arrested in Bhubaneswar yesterday during a joint operation of Odisha and West Bengal Police.
According to sources, WB police will take Alik to Kolkata for interrogation.
On the other hand, Alik has refuted the charges and termed his arrest a conspiracy.
"I am not a Maoist. I belong to a registered party CPI (ML) Red Star. I had come to Bhubaneswar for treatment," said Chakraborty.
There are more than 70 cases registered against Alik, informed sources.
"He had come to Bhubaneswar for treatment. However, a conclusion can't be drawn that most-wanted individuals are staying in the capital city," said DCP Anup Sahu, Bhubaneswar.
Meanwhile, CPI (ML) Red Star's state unit staged protests today while Alik was being brought to the court premises today.

Opinion by Richard Baird
CareerTrackers is an Australian nation-wide charitable organisation that addresses Indigenous disadvantage by developing professional career pathways, internship programs and links with private sector employers for Indigenous university students. It does this through a model adapted from an African-American internship program which has a proven legacy of 45 years. This is based on an approach that sees students intern with sponsoring companies with the intention of converting them into full-time employees following their university degree.
Sydney-based studio Garbett worked with CareerTrackers to develop a visual identity for the organisation's report and Gala Awards evening which included banners, information cards and awards. These are united by a striking and modern yet referential coalescence of form and multi-colour, and an element of the structural.

Opinion by Richard Baird
In 2014 Bedow worked with Essem Design, a Swedish manufacturer of artisanal hallway products and furniture, to develop a new graphic identity. This included logotype, adverts, catalogue, product sheet and stationery design. The concept was based around the simple gesture "Hej—Hej då", hello and goodbye in Swedish and a reference to the most common phrase used in the hallway.
This verbal gesture was visualised using Commercial Type's Dala Moa, paired with Futura, and played out across a brochure and stationery set of white and unbleached papers. The result balanced a playful and personable expression with the functional and crafted. This is expanded on and further explored throughout Essem Design's 2018 product catalogue, also designed by Bedow, in the approach to art direction, colour, form and illustration.

These are being promoted by a campaign developed by Pentagram's Paula Scher, with assets such as signage being designed and deployed by Public's in-house team. This builds on the enduring identity Paula Scher designed for the theatre in 1994, revised in 2005 and 2008, maintaining its impact and dynamic qualities whilst working in a new and distinctive colour palette of bright gradients, contrasting solid blocks of black and a strong sense of the systematised and the architectural. Alongside the tagline "Be In The Park" this links signage, static and dynamic posters and billboards, t-shirts, tote bags and newspaper advertising.

Through the hard work of our families, volunteers, and students, Amesti Elementary has rehabilitated the garden. In partnership with local non-profits, Life Lab and Community Alliance with Family Farmers, the space has transformed into an outdoor classroom where 15 classes ranging from 1st-5th grades learn from a FoodCorps Service Member. The organic garden at school gives students the opportunity to learn about compost, intercropping, and beneficial insects in an outdoor classroom setting. Students are enthusiastic to grow their own fruits and veggies, and the garden is an opportunity to involve the whole community in sustainable gardening.

"No drinking or Smoking Over the Table". So reads the annoying sign in any bar with a pool table, a killjoy message which destroys the whole point of playing the game.
Perhaps these grumpy bar-owners should consider instead the G-1 from Nottage design, a pool table with a glass bed and a transparent, waterproof (and beer proof) resin coating. This resin has been named Vitrik, and appears to be only mentioned by Google in relation to clear pools tables.
Vitrik, says Nottage, replicates the characteristics of a felt bed, with the bonus of being wipe-clean. Vitrik is not to be confused with Vitrix, "the most powerful natural testosterone booster the world has ever seen".
The price for this lottery-winner's monstrosity? A mere $40,000 Australian, or US$25,700.

Full of zeal, Vin Iyer conducts 15 Zumba classes per week at her studio in New Jersey, USA. She is a certified Zumba jammer (a fitness trainer qualified to teach Zumba) in the business since 2007, and the first ever to have conducted workshops in India. This month, she becomes a trainer of the trainers at Talwalkars Mumbai. But first, we sit her down to share fitness tips and tell us why Zumba rocks. Edited excerpts from the interview…
|Zumba is exercise in digsuise, says Vin Iyer
How is a Zumba workout different from a regular dance or aerobics class?
Zumba creates a party-like atmosphere in the class and it's not just about working out. We like to call it exercise in disguise! Aerobics might make for a good workout but there's no fun factor involved so chances of losing interest over a period of time are high.
We're partial to dance! Do you think Zumba is more effective?
Yes, it could be more effective. Students seem to dance more in a Zumba class because they're truly enjoying the moves and the music. Moreover, it is an intense cardio-based activity where your entire body is required to contribute.
How many calories could we expect to burn in an hour-long class?
It depends on the intensity of the moves, but on an average you could burn 500-700 calories per hour. Can't beat that! It also depends on how good the trainer is. So far, the trainers I have interacted with at Talwalkars ensure that the clients get desired results and also enjoy the workout.
So the trainers in Mumbai are experienced enough to teach Zumba?
Absolutely, they already have so much dance experience, great Zumba moves and immense stamina. Talwalkars has a progressive instructor-support program where they teach new and relevant skills.
We're the lazy types, you know. Do we need a certain level of fitness to join a Zumba class?
Some students may need to modify the moves but they can still benefit from the class. Zumba need not always be fast and hard. It is made for everyone.
Vin, tell us the secret behind your fighting-fit body.
Staying consistent with workouts is very important in maintaining a good weight. I believe diet too, plays a key role in keeping your body in shape. I like to indulge (in sinful foods) of course but I limit it to a few times a month. You could decide when you want to indulge without letting it interfere with your diet and workout schedule. Be consistent, be persistent.
About Talwalkars Zumba Fitness
The fitness experts at Talwalkars insist that Zumba fitness is a fun workout that will help you shed the extra kilos. Zumba is a combination of dance and movement set to pacey music, a fitness form that dates back to the 90s. Fitness centres of Talwalkars at Warden Road, Chembur, Mulund, Kharghar, and Seawoods Navi Mumbai host Zumba sessions. To join a class, call 022-33710100

Testosterone injections have many benefits for men with low testosterone. In fact, most providers of hormone replacement therapies for men agree that testosterone injections are the most effective form of testosterone therapy.
If you are interested in testosterone therapy, it is only natural that you would want to know, "how much do testosterone injections cost?"
Before we discuss the costs of testosterone injections, let's get a few other things straight about testosterone injections.
First of all, when it comes to the cost of any kind of testosterone therapy, and not just the cost of weekly testosterone injections, do not think you can save money by buying testosterone off the internet, or find some other way of getting testosterone shots without seeing a doctor.
There is one way and one way alone to get real testosterone replacement therapy, and that is after proper testing and a diagnosis of low testosterone, which will allow your doctor to give you a prescription for testosterone injections. Getting testosterone injections, no matter what the cost, any other way, is not only illegal, it is probably dangerous.
Attempting to save money by getting testosterone injections without a proper diagnosis and doctor's prescription, is not only illegal, it is probably dangerous.
The actual cost of a prescription for testosterone injections can vary quite a bit. Variations in the cost of testosterone injections are contingent upon:
That having all been said, the average cost of testosterone injections should range anywhere from 150.00 to 750.00 or more per month.
The actual cost of a prescription for testosterone injections can vary quite a bit, based on your age, your weight, and medical history. However, the average cost of testosterone injections should range anywhere from 150.00 to 750.00 or more per month.
It is very hard to state an exact cost for a monthly program of testosterone injections, because there are so many variables involved. First of all, dosages will vary from patient to patient, which will obviously impact cost. Since no two patients present with the exact same symptoms, and do not receive the same prescription, do not base the cost of what you could expect to pay for testosterone injections, on what you know a friend of relative to be paying.
Beyond that, the cost of testosterone injections vary, sometimes by a lot, due to a number of other reasons. Brand names are one. There are several brands of injectable testosterone that are legally available for sale in the US, and their prices do vary based on pharmaceutical manufacturer.
In addition, many other parameters are involved in accurately determining the cost of testosterone injections. At any given testosterone clinic or hormone replacement practice — anything from the degrees, or number of years of training the staff has, to the number of employees, to where the building is located – can and will impact the fees that they charge.
Sometimes health insurers will pay something for testosterone replacement treatments. However, if you have health insurance there is no guarantee that you will be covered for testosterone therapy. If you have been given a legitimate diagnosis of low testosterone, and you have appropriate coverage, your insurance company may pay for your prescription for testosterone injections.
If they do not pay for the actual injections, they may pay for doctor's visits or your lab work. If you have insurance and are considering testosterone injections, it is best to check with your health insurance provider, to see what you are, or are not, covered for.
If you have no insurance, or your insurance company denies your claim for testosterone injections, many of the major pharmaceutical manufacturers of prescription testosterone shots, will offer discounts for those without insurance for their name brand name testosterone injections.
Even if you do have to pay some, or all of the costs of your testosterone injections, there may be ways that you can work with your testosterone doctor, to keep the costs of your testosterone replacement down.
When you think about the cost of testosterone injections, you need to think about it in terms of the cost versus the benefits. In that light, you need to consider the price you pay for testosterone injections, as an investment in your future good health and improved quality of life. The many benefits of testosterone injections include:
In spite of all the aforementioned benefits of testosterone therapy, many will hesitate spending the money on something that will truly benefit their lives, but think nothing of spending exorbitant amounts on a new pair of shoes or designer jeans. This is an opportunity for you to actually do something extraordinary for yourself and even for your significant other!!!
It is possible that you may see the cost of testosterone injections listed as a range of anywhere from 30.00 to 125.00 per month. But, do not be deceived or taken in by such advertisements. When you are comparing the relative costs of testosterone injections, you must be sure you know what is included in the price you are being quoted. For example, it is true that if you looked up the cost of a testosterone injection on a pharmaceutical website, it is possible that you would find something that says that, the cost of 1 mL (200 mg/mL) of Depo-Testosterone — the most commonly prescribed form of injectable testosterone – "runs about $30." However, what you must keep in mind, is that is ONLY the cost of the drug itself per testosterone injection. That price does not take into account lab work, doctors' visits, additional supplements, and everything else that should be included in a six month program of testosterone injection therapy.
Once you factor in all of those costs, you can expect to pay prices more in line with those mentioned earlier. Even once you factor in the other services that will be required during your testosterone injection treatments, understand that costs will vary due to your individual needs, and the skills and experience of the testosterone prescriber you choose.
As with any other purchase in life, the testosterone clinic that offers you the lowest price, may not be offering you the best in patient care and customer service. While the cost of your testosterone injections needs to be considered, it should not be the driving factor in deciding where to get your prescription for testosterone therapy. When choosing a doctor for your prescription for testosterone injections, more weight should be given to his or her track record and qualifications, than what he or she charges.
Also, you want to work with doctors such as those on our staff who will always try to work with you as much as possible, to help keep the cost of your testosterone therapy injections within your needs and budget.
Do not ignore your symptoms of low testosterone because you think you cannot afford testosterone replacement therapy. Contact us today, and let's work together to discuss the various hormone replacement plans we have available and find one that can work for you!
There are several brands of injectable testosterone that are legally available for sale in the US, and their prices do vary based on pharmaceutical manufacturer.

If you haven't yet heard about this wonderful series by Author Alex Lidell, be sure to check out all the details below.
Release Date: January 4th, 2019
Two immortal realms on brink of war. One mortal standing in their way.
With the quint squaring off against the king of Slait, Lera is running out of time to tame her feral magic. Worse still, just when the quint must weave together to survive, demons from Tye's past surface to tear them apart. Demons he fears facing, let alone sharing with Lera.
But when Griorgi makes a move that no one expects, throwing River, Shade, and Coal's lives into question, the clock runs out. Lera and Tye have no choice but to fight their battles within—or risk losing Lunos and their quint forever.
LERA OF LUNOS is a full-length reverse-harem fantasy novel, the stunning finale to the Amazon-bestselling, KU-All Star POWER OF FIVE series.
"There was rather little incentive to follow the rules at that point," Tye said simply. "And smuggling pays well." He swallowed painfully, unable to look at her for this part, to see in her eyes the moment she realized he'd been right to push her away. "Now do you see why I thought you should go with Shade? If it were up to me, Lilac Girl, I would never let you out of my sight for the rest of my life. But it isn't up to me, especially now that you know the full truth. You deserve better, Lera. You deserve the world."
Silence trailed at the heels of Tye's words, the cave around them a capsule of secrets. Each memory shoving itself insistently from its hiding place in the depths of Tye's mind drove another needle into his soul. Fingers tightening on the rough stone, Tye inhaled the damp, mossy air and awaited judgment.
Several heartbeats passed before Lera rose to her knees, her cool hands gripping Tye's face. Tipping it to look so deeply into his eyes that Tye felt his soul bared beneath her intense chocolate gaze. Stars, if the girl could make him feel so vulnerable with one look, what could she do with a word? A step? Fear crackled along his veins, but when he tried to pull back, to escape for a bit of air, Lera would not let him.
"I see you, Tye." Her words rang gently through the cave, stopping Tye's heart. "And I want you. Not for play. I want you for you, forever."
Tye's blood stirred, waking him to Lera's words. She wanted him.
She wanted him.
The way he'd always longed for her but had been so certain she would never feel in return. He stared into her eyes, hardly daring to believe it.
"And I want forever to start now, Tye," she said quietly.

Run All Night
Release Date: April 17, 2015
This should be a familiar sight to all by now. Liam Neeson has found his niche making action movies. With each success, we can be assured there will be another. And here it is. Run All Night is about Jimmy (Neeson) an ex-mobster and hit man known as The Gravedigger. He gave up his family for the mob and a lifetime as a mob enforcer has left Jimmy scarred. I'M NOT GIVING AWAY ANY SPIOLERS, IT'S ALL IN THE TRAILER, CALM DOWN!!! He finds himself most nights at the bottom of a bottle, his head full of woes and his DUI attorney on speed-dial. One night, he finds his son (played by Joel Kinnamen) at the receiving end of a hit. Neeson kills the would-be assassin, only to find that the killer was the son of his old friend and mob boss Shawn Maguire (played by Ed Harris). Jimmy and his son are now on the run from the mob who will do anything to bring them down.
Of course Liam Neeson (Schindler's List, Star Wars: Episode I) stars, and he will be backed up by Ed Harris (A Beautiful Mind, The Rock), Joel Kinnaman (The Killing, Robocop), Vincent D'Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket, Ed Wood),Genesis Rodriguez (Identity Thief, Tusk)
Directing this film is Jaume Collet-Serra who has worken with Mr. Neeson before on Unknown and Non-Stop. By now I'm sure he knows how to play to Neeson's strengths.
The screenplay was written by Brad Ingelsby (Out of the Furnace, The Dynamiter)
And Junkie XL (300: Rise of an Empire, Divergent) will compose the music. His career as a composer is ramping up and he is slated to compose for Mad Max: Fury Road, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. I've always held the belief that a good composer really helps to make a great movie. Look at John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and James Horner. If you want to see a lot of great movies, follow the career of your favorite composer.
As stated previously, Liam Neeson has done more than his share of action movies, particularly those involving his family. They are all very entertaining and have done well at the box office. If the formula works, keep going with it.
So check out this trailer and then check out the movie when it' released.
