Deathbringer Pickaxe

- Internal Item ID: 798
The Deathbringer Pickaxe is the fifth tier of Pickaxe. Like all pickaxes, it is used to mine a majority of blocks and ores. The Deathbringer Pickaxe, Nightmare Pickaxe, Molten Pickaxe, and Reaver Shark are the only Pre-Hardmode pickaxes able to mine Ebonstone, Crimstone, Obsidian, Hellstone, Desert Fossil and Dungeon Bricks.
Its best modifier is Light for harvesting purposes and Legendary for combat purposes.
The Deathbringer Pickaxe is the Crimson variant of the Nightmare Pickaxe, but its mining speed is one less. It also can mine Ebonstone/Crimstone/Hellstone/Dungeon blocks in one less hit than the Nightmare Pickaxe.

Notes[edit | edit source]
Compared to the Nightmare Pickaxe, the Deathbringer Pickaxe has superior power, and has slightly better mining speed. It is actually much faster than the higher-tier Molten Pickaxe at mining weak block types: Ash, Clay, Dirt, Mud, Sand and Silt. It is still slower at mining stronger block types like Bricks, Gems, Stone, Meteorite, Obsidian, but faster at mining the strongest pre-Hardmode block type (i.e. Hellstone, Crimstone, Ebonstone, Pearlstone, Dungeon Bricks). Therefore, even when you can acquire the Molten Pickaxe, it is advisable to keep this one around so they can be swapped as needed. Rapid swapping is possible by selecting the pick which is later in your inventory and then holding shift to swap to the other pick as needed.
- After reaching hardmode and acquiring a Cobalt/Palladium Drill or Pickaxe, however, you can discard both of your pickaxes as these are stronger and faster than both the Molten Pickaxe and Nightmare Pickaxe. (Although you may want to consider keeping the Molten Pickaxe as it emits light and thus still has its uses for mining)

Tarsus raising £24m to fund two acquisitions and a partnership
(Sharecast News) - Business-to-business media company Tarsus Group has agreed to two acquisitions and a strategic partnership, it announced on Friday.
The London-listed firm said it was acquiring the remaining 50% stake in its existing Mexican joint venture, EJK Tarsus Mexico, from E.J. Krause & Associates, for cash consideration of $18m.
It was also acquiring a further 25% interest in AMB Tarsus Exhibitions in South East Asia, taking its overall interest to 75%, and was entering a strategic partnership with Streamline Marketing Group in the United Arab Emirates.
Tarsus also announced that it intended to place new ordinary shares to raise minimum gross proceeds of £24m.
The placing shares were being offered by way of an accelerated bookbuild, which was launched immediately following its announcement on Friday morning.
It said the net proceeds of the placing would be used to fund the $29m combined consideration for the new transactions.
Any remaining proceeds would be used to provide "financial flexibility" in continuing to pursue the company's strategy.
Tarsus' board said it believed that together, the placing and the transactions would be earnings accretive over the biennial cycle.
On the trading front, Tarsus said it was in line with the board's expectations for the period since its interim results on 26 July.
Bookings for the remaining 2018 shows were up 9%, with buyers for the year-to-date ahead 12%, both on a like-for-like basis.
Tarsus said bookings for the large 2019 events were performing well.
"These deals represent an exciting expansion in three of our key territories," said Tarsus group managing director Douglas Emslie.
"In line with our 'Quickening the Pace 2' strategy, we continue to buy in minority interests where there is a compelling business case to do so."
Emslie said Mexico was a "large and fast-growing" market, with the agreement to acquire the remaining 50% interest in EJK Tarsus Mexico representing an "excellent opportunity" for the group to accelerate its growth.
"Through our AMB joint venture Tarsus has successfully expanded its footprint in South East Asia.
"Our acquisition of a further 25% interest in the business allows Tarsus to take control of the operation whilst also retaining the existing entrepreneurial management who will continue to run the business day to day."
Emslie said he was also excited by the prospect of continuing to work with Andrew Siow and the AMB team in South East Asia.
"Andrew is a very experienced exhibition professional with over 30 years' experience launching in the region.
"The agreement to enter into a strategic partnership with SMG in the UAE represents a good bolt-on opportunity to our existing aerospace portfolio.
"I look forward to working with the SMG team to grow the business going forward."

Jay Farrar. Damn spell check
Now this is a beautiful song. I love the chord sequences and the guitar sounds incredible. The vocal is great and well recorded. You need to publish the lyrics! The song has a cool Jay Farrah vibe to it which I really like. This is my favorite of yours. Nicely done.
The guitar pattern on the verses is beautiful. The lyrics are kind of train-of-thought in a good way, it feels very real. I like the passion in the chorus and the hook you went with. Great sentiment and great song.

A Missouri woman was held over for trial Friday in connection with the death of her 15-month-old daughter.
Catherine Jean White, 30, of Goodman, Mo., is charged in Ottawa County District Court in Miami with child neglect for her part in the Feb. 26, 2006, death of McKenna Jayde White.
Thursday�s hearing was the continuation of White�s preliminary hearing which was cut short in February to allow Special Judge Alicia Littlefield time to review three video-recorded interviews.
McKenna was in the care of Travis Gerald Steed, White�s then boyfriend, when she died at a Miami motel. She had several blunt-force trauma impacts to her face and head and had a 5-inch skull fracture, according to a medical examiner�s report.
White confessed to authorities that Steed, 31, of Seligman, Mo., and her used methamphetamine, according to a probable cause affidavit.
�White stated she smoked �one or two hits� and Steed used the rest of the methamphetamine,� the affidavit reads.
White testified in Steed�s preliminary hearing that she left the toddler in Steed�s care after she left to pick up her children in Goodman, Mo.
�She was ice cold,� said White, on finding the baby lying on her stomach in her crib.
McKenna�s body was stiff and, when White tried to roll McKenna over, White noticed the injury to her daughter�s face.
White, who wore a pin that held a photograph of McKenna, choked back tears during her testimony. Steed only stared at White and showed no emotion.
Originally, Steed was charged with first-degree murder. District Attorney Eddie Wyant amended that charge to allow a jury to convict him of murder for either affecting the death of McKenna by using unreasonable force or by simply permitting the use of unreasonable force upon her which resulted in her death.
White is to return to court March 28 for district court arraignment.

A Scenario defines how many virtual users should run your scripts in a load test. Each virtual user represents one simulated human user, running a script.
A scenario may have multiple groups of virtual users, with each group running a different script. Additionally, each group of virtual users is given a ramp-up schedule, a total duration at peak load, and a ramp-down schedule.
During the ramp-up schedule, the group of virtual users starts at 0, and adds more virtual users gradually until the target number is reached. Virtual users run the script and repeat it, if necessary, until the duration has elapsed. Then, the number of virtual users is ramped back down to 0.
The number of virtual users you specify in your scenario is the number of concurrent users. This may be different from the total users hitting your application in a given period. If you have 50,000 daily unique users, it's possible that only 1,000 are active at any given time.
Concurrent Users means the number of human users (or virtual users) active at a particular moment.
Total Users generally means your entire user base, or at least the number of users that are active in a given time window.
This distinction is important, because when creating Loadster scenarios, you want to think in terms of how many concurrent users you will be simulating.
In Loadster, when a virtual user finishes an iteration of the script, it starts another iteration of the same script, as long as there is time remaining in the test. Therefore 50 virtual users, run continuously over a period of time, can actually generate as much traffic as many individual users coming and going.
A load test scenario should be realistic. The mix of behaviors (scripts) should be similar to what you can expect from your real users.
For example, at any given moment, an ecommerce site might have:
It is up to you and other stakeholders to determine what user behaviors are realistic and relevant for your site.
Once you've made this determination, you can create Loadster scripts to represent each user behavior, and create a scenario with groups of virtual users running your scripts.
Once you have created one or more scripts, create a scenario by right-clicking on the project in the sidebar. Then click on "New Scenario…" in the provided menu.
The scenario will open in the scenario editor.
A scenario consists of one or more Virtual User Groups. Each group can run its own script, or you can have multiple groups running the same script. Each group can have its own schedule and configuration as well.
Every scenario needs at least one virtual user group in order to run. To create a virtual user group, click the Plus (+) button in the scenario editor.
You can add multiple groups to a scenario, each with its own configuration. When you run the test, these groups will execute in parallel.
To remove a group, select it and hit the delete key.
Adjust the number of virtual users in the group by clicking on the number and typing in a different number.
Each group can have anywhere from 1 to 9999 virtual users.
Each virtual user group is configured to run a script. To select a different script, click on the script name and choose a different one.
You can use any script in the same project as your scenario.
Not all virtual users start at the same second. Instead, they gradually increase the number of running virtual users, continue at peak load for a while, and then the virtual users gradually exit.
Each of these phases (the ramp-up phase, the peak phase, and the ramp-down phase) has its own duration in minutes. You can also select a ramp-up formula and ramp-down formula to determine at what rate the load should be ramped up or down.
Ramp-up formulas:
Ramp-down formulas:
If you are trying to simulate realistic production load, we recommend selecting ramp-up and ramp-down formulas that match your real usage patterns. Sometimes, systems can perform well when load increases gradually, but may fail when a burst of traffic arrives all at once.
Each group of virtual users runs on either a self-hosted Loadster Engine, or one of the Loadster Cloud regions. Select the engine or region for this group by clicking on it.
If the site you're testing is publicly reachable, we recommend selecting one of the cloud regions.
If you need to generate load from a private network, read more about Testing with Loadster Engine.
There are also options to limit the total number of iterations per group, simulate a slower connection speed, or override DNS entries.
There are times when you only want to run a certain number of iterations of your script. For example, you may have a requirement like "the system must process 1000 shipments within a 10 minute period".
In these cases, Loadster can limit the total number of iterations. This limit is the cumulative limit across all virtual users in the group.
Once the group has reached this number of iterations, virtual users will begin to exit, even if there is time remaining in your test. If the number of virtual users in your group exceeds the number of total iterations, some virtual users may not even start.
Normally, virtual users use all the network bandwidth available to them. If you want to simulate the impact of slower connections, you can configure the group to throttle bandwidth.
Slower clients will experience longer response times. Also, slower clients often cause the TCP connections with your server to stay active longer, which may cause it to hit a max connections bottleneck or other problems, that may not happen when all your clients are on fast connections.
When testing against multiple environments of your application, you may wish to direct traffic to certain hosts. Loadster can accomplish this by overriding DNS name resolution.
This is similar to editing your
/etc/hosts file, but it automatically propagates out to all your engines as well as
Loadster Cloud when you run the test. Only the virtual user group(s) with the override are affected.
There are a few global options that can affect how a load test runs. You can change them on the Settings page in your browser, or in the Preferences dialog if you're using Loadster Workbench.
You're ready to run a test! To start a load test, click the Launch Test button in the scenario editor.
Read Running Load Tests to learn more about monitoring and observing your load test.

Chinese brands don't always copy, and Doogee is out to prove a point. Doogee is a small Chinese manufacturer that many won't be aware off, and it's due to the fact that the brand hasn't made it to international markets yet. After making the Mi Mix 2 rip off in the form of the its flagship Doogee Mix, the OEM has come up with a complete new take on building a smartphone with a truly bezel-less design.
The major gripe in building a tri-bezel less smartphone lie in the process of allocating space for the sensors, earpiece and selfie shooter in the front façade of the device. Apple came out with their own innovative take by using a notch in their iPhone X. While that notch is functionally essential, it looks intrusive and often ugly to a large section of consumers. Previously, Xiaomi had tried using a Piezoelectric earpiece instead of the standard one to solve the space management issue, but it didn't help much as the earpiece wasn't audible in noisy environments.
Now, here's where Doogee comes in; their new innovative design is based on the concept of traditional slide-able smartphones. It looks like Doogee has taken a leaf out of BlackBerry's book. The video renders shared by the Chinese firm show a tri-bezel less smartphone with just the display on top. To make a call or click selfies, you simply need to slide up the smartphone. Apparently, the sensors and earpiece are hidden behind the main display. The design, however, has its set of flaws. The slide-able form factor increases the width of the smartphone by a fair amount. Moreover, it would hinder the functionality of something like Proximity Wake which uses the sensor for waking up your device.
Nonetheless, it would be interesting to see whether Doogee succeeds to pull off a smartphone with this design. And considering Doogee high price to performance ratio, we can expect this smartphone to priced pretty aggressively.
Source:Doogee, the Chinese smartphone OEM usually known for their rip-offs of popular smartphones from other companies, has managed to break the shackles and come up with a concept of their own showcasing how to have a truly bezel-less smartphone with no notch! Have a look.

The ODPRN has conducted multiple studies that have both informed and evaluated the impact of drug policies in Ontario, and more broadly across Canada. This research includes a wide breadth of work ranging from large drug class reviews to specific rapid response projects resulting from decision makers' pressing initiatives.
New Research
Impact of delisting high‐strength opioid formulations from a public drug benefit formulary on opioid utilization in Ontario, Canada
To reduce the risk of prescription opioid-related overdoses and diversion, on January 31, 2017 the Ontario Public Drug Programs delisted (removed) all high-strength opioids from their formulary, making them no longer eligible for reimbursement. An exception was made for palliative patients.
This study evaluates whether the delisting policy impacted access to prescription opioids and daily opioid doses among public drug beneficiaries who were receiving these high-strength opioids.

S&P Global Ratings yesterday said its base-case assumption in rating Neiman Marcus going forward will include a continued risk of restructuring over the next 12 months, despite the retailer having completed a comprehensive restructuring last week.
The ratings agency yesterday lowered Neiman Marcus to Selective Default, from CC, and issue-level ratings on the company's secured term loan facility, unsecured cash pay notes and unsecured payment-in-kind (PIK) notes to D.
"The downgrade reflects our assessment of Neiman Marcus' comprehensive restructuring as a distressed exchange," analyst Mathew Christy said in the ratings action report.
S&P views the restructuring (including the second-lien notes offering and debt exchange) as a selective default because of the company's current distressed financial condition, the likelihood of a conventional default in absence of the restructuring, and because debt investors received less than the promise of the original securities.
Specifically, the new securities' maturities extend beyond the original without adequate offsetting compensation and the exchange of structurally subordinated debt in the transaction, in S&P's view. This includes both the term loan lenders and unsecured noteholders.
The company's restructuring included:
S&P said it will likely soon raise its issuer credit rating on the company to CCC, which will include base-case assumptions of a continued risk of restructuring over the next 12 months because of the remaining meaningful outstanding balance of about $137 million on the unsecured notes due in Oct. 2021 that were not exchanged in the restructuring.

I hadn't even gotten out of bed when I took that photo. That's some real honest motherfucking truthiness right there. (Although I did digitally remove my red-eye.)
I will now try to offset that photo by offering a more put together one:
I cheated on my hairstylist today with one recommended by KC. This isn't a great photo. It looks better in person. It looks really pretty in person. It looks, according to Alex, "less frazzled than before."

I'm sure you have heard about the CBD oil talk that is going on and I wanted to share how CBD has actually helped me. Now, if you have never heard about CBD oil, you've also come to the right blog because this will be a very informative post and I hope that by the end, you decide to give CBD oil a try.
What is CBD?
Let's just make this simple. Cannabis oil is the concentrated liquid extract of the marijuana plant, Cannabis sativa. CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis and causes the sensation of getting "high" that's often associated with marijuana. However, unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive.
How CBD has helped ME.
I have emphasized ME because everyone is different. Everyone's bodies react to certain things differently. Therefore, understand that what CBD has done for me, may or may not work for you.
I received a 1 oz bottle of the 300mg Pure CBD Oil Tincture by Every Day Optimal. Each 1/2 dropper serving size contains about 5mg of hemp-based cannabidiol oil. To use this oil, I just place a half of the dropper under my tongue. This is the best way of getting the maximum effect of CBD oil. With this tincture, you can also add it to food and drinks. Since this has a peppermint taste, I have added it to my peppermint tea which is amazing!
Now to the effects…
- Relaxed. I don't know how to really explain it but, I just feel relaxed and mellow. Being a SAHM with a toddler, life can be hectic and stressful so when it's time to unwind and relax, I just feel at ease. Remember, you will not get high from CBD so you will still be yourself and alert but, just very calm.
- Let's talk about sleep. Listen, I've always been a deep sleeper even after having my son. Sleep has always been a thing for me and I hate missing out on GOOD sleep. But as of lately, (maybe with the holidays approaching, I just can't sleep comfortably. I feel like my brain is constantly thinking about what needs to get done. CBD oil has changed that. I find that I am sleeping solidly which leads to my next point.
- Has CBD oil turned me into a morning person? OKAY – yes! Hands down. Granted I'm up early thanks to my little guy, but I knew this CBD oil was working when I wasn't rushing to my coffee machine as soon as I wake up! In fact, some days I go without coffee at all! Crazy? Right!
- Muscle pain has been reduced incredibly. So you know this glam girl over here is a gym rat. I lift heavy weights 4x a week. Although I'm strengthening my muscles, my body would kill me after my work out. Aches and pain were a complete understatement even with all the BCAA's that I would use. Since using CBD oil, my muscle soreness is tolerable. I mean, I actually look forward to leg day now.
Overall, I could not be any happier with deciding to try out CBD oil especially the 300mg Pure CBD Oil by Every Day Optimal. They have a variety of dosages ranging from 300mg to 10,000mg. You can click here to see which oil will work best for you.
I've also had the opportunity to try out their CBD Gummies. GAME CHANGER! You guys, these gummies are delicious. I use the 15mg of the CBD gummies and they pretty much resemble Sour Patch kids. I highly recommend these especially if you are not into oils, pills or just want something while on to go to satisfy a sweet tooth with a bit of CBD oil, this is for you! I love that their products do not contain additives which means you are getting pure CBD oil. All of their products are gluten-free and most of their products are vegan-friendly.
Every Day Optimal offers a range of CBD products and I can't wait to explore more CBD products from them.
For the newbies: Just note, if you decide to try CBD products, it is recommended that you start at a lower dosage and work your way up until you find the right dosage that suits your needs.
Do not take if pregnant or lactating. Always consult a medical doctor before modifying your diet or using any new product. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. *These statements have not been evaluated by the food and drug administration (FDA).
So, have you tried CBD oil? If so, what made you decide to try it? If you have not, will you try it?

With that item, make as many or as few recipes as you'd like. Points if they're easily frozen or can be made for one :).
Extra points if they're to die for!
If you are a blogger, whenever you post a recipe, use the hashtag #FallBlogChallenge to tweet about it (my twitter is @kzdrowak). Or simply link back to this post and I'll put all the recipes together into one big recipe list.
At the end of the month of october, we'll have a plethora of amazing homemade fall inspired dishes among the blogging community.
Here's a list of some items to get you started

One of the Little Tots I care for is going through the stage of being able to say different colours but not yet be able to match them up correctly….instead they usually just say everything is "red".
So, as farm animals are big news here at the moment, I decided to combine the two and come up with this simple colour sorting activity.
I tested this activity with my own 4 year old who already knows her colours but still loved doing this and decided she needed to be dressed as Elsa to carry out this farm related task (this post contains affiliate links).
You will need:
- Farm animals counters
- Colour cards (we dowloaded ours for free from Tots Cards)
- Jumbo tweezers
I set out the animals in a basket on the table along with the colour cards and jumbo tweezers and she didn't need any explanation of what the activity was.
Even though she already knows her colours the tweezers still helped to make this a challenging activity. And not content with just placing each animal on the correct colour she also insisted they had to be stood up on the card.
As well as sorting by colours this activity is also a fun way to practice:
- Size ordering (the animals are different sizes)
- Counting to 10 (and beyond)
- Working those fine motor skills using the tweezers
- Naming the animal or making the animal noise
- Finding the correct animal (great for little ones who aren't talking yet)
This activity was a great extension to this weeks Kids Virtual Book Club featured book Little Blue Truck which features lots of farm animals and is currently Jacks favourite book. So much so its already broken and it's only a few weeks old.
If your little ones love farm animals why not try our Small World Farmyard or this fun Muddy Pig Craft.
More farm activities from the Kids Virtual Book Club Co-hosts:
- Alphabet – Farm Animal Beginning Sounds and Bingo Game – Rainy Day Mum, Little Blue Truck ABC Animal Pick Up-Growing Book by Book and Farm Alphabet Scavenger Hunt – Sunny Day Family
- Numbers – Play & Count Farm Animals – My Storytime Corner, Farm Animal I SPY & Graph Printable – School Time Snippets and Number Games Based on Little Blue Truck Books
- Sensory– Litttle Blue Truck Sensory Bin – Adventures of Adam
- Cooking – Haystacks Snack for Kids – Views From a Step Stool and Mud Pit Chip Dip – Preschool Powol Packets
- Science –Farm Animal Races – Inspiration Laboratories
- Pre-Writing –Decorate a Farm Animal – Mama Smiles, Little Blue Truck Farm Animal Story Retelling – Powerful Mothering and Roll-a-Story Fun (Includes Character Printables)—Chickadee Lit
- Movement Activity – Farm Themed Brain Breaks-Sugar Aunts and Hide & Match Farm Animal Puzzle Game- Toddler Approved

Is it just me or is old man winter really taking his toll these days? Continue reading WINTER BEAUTY SURVIVAL KIT
Tag Archives: kerastase
I know it must feel like the only hair products we review are from Kérastase, but they are just so damn good at what they do, and their Densifique collection is no exception.
I'm pretty sure if you asked any girl in the world what they wished was different about their hair, almost everyone would say that they wished they had more of it.
Each time I find myself itching with discomfort, sitting at the salon with bleach coating my entire scalp, I'll find any way possible to distract myself–but talking on the phone ends with bleach in your speakers, and Instagram loses it's lustre about half an hour in. Continue reading KÉRASTASE // ELIXIR ULTIME IMPERIAL
Looking back at all of the posts from this year, I realized just how many products we've actually reviewed–and there are a ton!
Originally, I was going to do a top 10 list, but there are so many great products old and new that I've loved.
It is well know on this blog just how much we love Kérastase–they ace everything they do.
Kerastase has released a new line of products to control frizz and fight humidity while allowing the hair to move freely.
I'd been contemplating dying my hair black for a while, sort of bored with my one-dimensional brunette look. But going from brown to black isn't a huge deal, and I wasn't sure if it was worth the time, damage and cost for results that might not give me the change I was craving. And when Emily Weiss (blogger/ beauty guru queen) went bleach blonde back a few months ago, I realized just how cool that look could be on naturally dark haired gals. But of course, that was COMPLETELY uncharted territory for me, as someone with completely virgin hair. It was an idea that I didn't see happening anytime soon, mainly because it was terrifying, but I always had it in the back of my mind.
Now fast-forward three weeks ago, as I'm standing at Pearson Airport about to board my flight to Paris. Scrolling through my Instagram feed, I see yet another technicolour creation a la Bleach London, totally gawking at their creativity in hair colour that isn't really seen in Canada all that much. It then dawned on me that I would be in London (for the very first time) not long from then and maybe this was a sign that it was my time to make a change. The next day, I made an appointment at their Dalston location (which I promptly missed) and spent the next two weeks freaking out and changing my mind. Nevertheless, I got in there, albeit a day after I was supposed to be there, and, well, I got bleached.
A beautiful, very curly haired lady named Sapphire did my virgin bleach (she's also coloured Florence Welch's and Caroline Flack's hair), which is their version of a single process bleach for unbleached hair. I was informed that typically brunettes require a double process to get their hair to a white shade, but at Bleach they only do a single process per visit, and recommend that you lighten up at your next root appointment in 4-6 weeks. Nonetheless, I trusted her and she got right into it. She told me she used the second strongest bleach (out of three degrees)– I felt literally no burning or anything that I was told I would and that processed for about an hour after it was all applied. They do the roots later on because the bleach reacts faster closer to the scalp. After that's all washed out, they toned my hair using purple and hues to knock out any yellow. To Sapphire's and my own surprise, my hair went pearly white after the first process leaving me excited and way less terrified.
My overall experience at the salon was awesome (despite being there on the wrong day) and the actual salon has a super cool atmosphere. I brought back the Silver Shampoo and Conditioner, and their Reincarnation Mask by Sapphire's recommendation– all of which were very inexpensive and available at Boots. I also took home with me their Bleach Bible, which I was advised I MUST follow if I want to maintain my white hair. This means no flat irons, curling irons, scrunchies, less regular shampooing (which I soon learned is quite easy), LOTS of hair masks and never sleeping on wet hair. In my short time with my bleached hair, I've learned that it is incredibly dry, very, very tangly and has a thicker, beachier texture that I love. That being said, I've basically been reaching for everything and anything that will make my hair softer and I've had to add quite a few products into my daily stash.
In the shower, I shampoo with Bleach's Silver Shampoo, leaving it in for three or four minutes to eliminate any yellow tones or brassiness (plus I think it makes my hair more gray, hence the name). If I'm using my blow drier, I'll first shampoo with my Kerastase heat-protecting shampoo, then follow with the Silver Shampoo. I follow up with a mix of their Silver Conditioner, which also has some lavender pigments, and Phytobaume Réparateur, leaving my hair to soak that up for a few minutes as well. Once I'm out of the shower, I carefully brush out my tangly white hair with a Tangle Teezer (another Bleach recommendation– that or a Mason Pearson Brush). I've basically employed every single mask and oil in my inventory–Klorane's Desert Date Leave-In Conditioner and Mask and even straight-up avocado oil. Oh, and the Reincarnation Mask. I basically load up on one of those (or a mix) about half an hour before my shower to let my hair absorb some much needed moisture. It takes a good three or four days for my hair to get oily, meaning less showers and more moisture (and more laziness).
All this being said, it's been only a week and I'm sure I have lots to learn in terms of my new do.
–Anna Raponi
Reasons why I they are more high maintenance than Cher Horowitz:
1.Wind: On my 20 minute walk to work today, Toronto's winds blow them around. A quick sweep through them with my wallet-size comb in the elevator mirror fixes them quick before I get to my office on the seventh floor.
2. Yoga and Pilates: Slight perspiration from exercise can make my bangs a little wonky, and sometimes I just want them out of my face, but I can easily keep them back with a headband, or spritz in some dry shampoo to soak up any grease.
3. Humidity: The devil. This really is the worst force that I am constantly fighting against, especially on my treks into work. Any rain or humidity levels above 80% cause my bangs to lose their shit and get curly. It is the absolute worst. Not even a quick comb through will fix this problem.
To fight this battle, the best option would be to shield them from the air/rain the best that you can with a hat or hood, but no one really wants to wear a raincoat in 28 degrees. So, you need something that will fix them in place.
Kérastase's new Laque Noire hair spray has a super strong hold that is totally brushable and fights humidity. Now, it's not perfect when there is rain flying in your face, or on the dampest of days, but it really does a whole lot better than if you were without. I hate having a product-y feeling in my hair, but this hairspray can be generously sprayed on and you will still be able to run your comb through it and not get grossed out when you touch it. It's almost even better when on the second day you already have some in your hair because it gives the bangs great texture and even more hold. This spray is also great for lightly misting the top of your head, where you might get the most flyaways–a little overspray gets over there when I'm misting my bangs and a quick juge with my fingers gives my freshly washed hair a bit of volume.
It's probably pretty obvious why every girl should know how to give themselves an at least half-decent blow out. In a pinch, it works for any situation: interview, party, fancy party…you catch my drift. It takes you from 0 to sleek and professional.
It can be hard to learn (balancing a hair dry in one hand while brushing the back side of your head ain't easy) but with time and practice, it is definitely something everyone can learn. It may never be as perfect as what your hairstylist can do (that's why they're pros) but it's a good skill to have on the backburner should you ever need it.
Anna's already broken this down for you in a tutorial–but the right tools and products are what make for a great blow out. Start by protecting your hair with heat protective shampoos and conditioners, then add in a few products to help with your hair type (i.e. volume, smoothing, etc.). Then, get a good quality (and lightweight) hair dryer with different speeds and heat levels and a natural bristle brush (gives a smoother result). Once you've learned how to do your own hair, you won't need to pay your stylist to do it on the regular, or be scrambling for last minute appointments.
So, ok. I don't know if it was stress or hormonal changes or what, but last year, I started noticing my hair was getting thinner. Not the actual strands, but just the amount of hair that I had was definitely…less. Yes, I was blowdrying my hair, but only 2 or 3 times a week. I kept thinking, oh, it will grow back, it will be fine…but it didn't and it wasn't. So, I took matters into my own hands this December. I got rid of my layers and got a blunt cut (to make my hair appear thicker at the ends, instead of see-through layers). I picked up every supplement I could. I started taking Silica, Omega Fish Oils, Pre Natal vitamins (no, I'm not preggo/planning to get preggo), Vitamin D, Calcium, and Evening Primrose oil in addition to my usual Probiotics. My husband was pretty confused as to why I had bought a ton of stuff from Noah's Natural Foods, but whatever. I wanted my hair back! Why was I taking these:
- Silica-good for collagen stimulation, and hair and nail growth. Get the gel, not the tablets.
- Biotin-good for hair growth
- Omega oils-good for skin and hair
- Pre Natal vitamins-good for hair, nails and it is a good source of iron. Taking iron supplements on their own can be pretty hard on your stomach, so this is a good way to work it in.
- Vitamin D & Calcium- taken in tandem, good for bones
- Evening Primrose Oil-I had heard that this could help control hormonal breakouts
And you know what? My hair is back. Not too 100% of where it was, but all those little hairs around my face are getting longer, hair at the front of my head and and the base of my neck is thicker than ever. Once the hairs match up with the full-length of my hair, it will be wonderful. Now–I have also tried to avoid heat styling as much as possible in my hair rehab experiment. I have embraced the air dry and have learned how to best deal with my natural hair texture, and I actually have learned to love it. No matter how hard you try to get your hair to grow, if you're burning and frying it everyday, it will never be long and lustrous. If you do need to heat style, then be sure to use heat protective products (I really like Kerastase's shampoo and (unfortunately) discontinued mousse). In addition to supplements, my other saviour has been Kerastase's Initialiste serum. I don't think it's supposed to make your hair grow per se, but it makes it stronger, that's for sure. I apply it after showering to the baby hairs around my face, and then make a few different parts along the top and sides of my scalp and massage in a few drops. If I apply it to my baby hairs, and then comb them back and allow them to air dry, the hairs stay back. This for me, is groundbreaking. They don't get as curly and they are smoother and feel thicker. By strengthening the regrowth, it gives them a chance to grow instead of just breaking. Also: I recent read about how doing yoga inversions for 4 minutes a day can make your hair grow longer in a week. I started my experiment last night and will keep you updated.

And please - all you Obama kool-aid drinkers - don't send me your comments that Obama didn't plan the convention and this wasn't his mistake. If you're the top dog, you are responsible. And no comments about how the Russians aren't communists any more. As long as Putin is running things over there, they're communists.
"I was kind of in shock," said Rob Barker, 38, a former electronics warfare technician who left the Navy in 2006. Having learned to visually identify foreign ships by their radars, Barker recognized the closest ship as the Kara-class cruiser Kerch.
"An immediate apology [from the committee] would be very nice," Barker said. "Maybe acknowledge the fact that yes, they screwed up."
The background — featured in the carefully choreographed hour leading up to the president's Sept. 6 speech accepting the Democratic Party's nomination — showed four ships with radar designs not used in the U.S. fleet.
For example, the ship in the foreground, on the far right, has a square radar antenna at the top of its masthead. That is the MR-700 Podberezovik 3-D early warning radar, commonly identified as "Flat Screen" for its appearance, a three-dimensional early warning radar mounted on the Kerch, said Eric Wertheim, editor of "Combat Fleets of the World."
Similarly, the third ship has a MR-310 "Head Net" air search radar, shaped like two off-set bananas, at its masthead and is mostly likely the guided missile destroyer Smetlivyy. The first two ships seem to be Krivak-class frigates, but it's hard to discern from the silhouette, experts said.
But the fact they are Russian ships is not in doubt. In addition to the ship's radar arrays and hulls, which are dissimilar from U.S. warships, the photo features one more give-away: a large white flag with a blue 'X' at the ships' sterns.

Russian Navy used as DNC backdrop
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised - the Head Communist in Charge used Russian Navy Ships as a video backdrop during the latest coronation at the party convention last week. Full article in the Navy Times here.

The number of traffic fatalities during the 2015 Pchum Ben festival was nearly the same as last year's, dropping just three percent.
Thirty-four people were killed in road crashes between October 10 and 12, one fewer than the 35 killed during the three-day holiday in 2014.
The festival marks one of the busiest times of year for travel within Cambodia.
Statistics released on Tuesday by the Ministry of Interior's Department of Traffic Police and Public Order showed a total of 74 crashes during the holiday, a decrease from 77 last year.
In all, 147 people were injured, 95 seriously, during this year's Pchum Ben, down from 156 last year.
"One hundred thirty-two motor drivers and passengers did not wear helmets," said the report from the ministry. "Thirty-one of the cases involved speeding, while 16 involved disrespect of right of way."
Kandal province had the the most road fatalities during the festival with four dead among six crashes.
Takeo, Kampong Cham and Siem Reap provinces followed with three dead in each. Kampot province had eight crashes but only one death.

The "Occupy Wall Street" movement is coming to Wall Street West.
Demonstrators are planning to gather Thursday afternoon in front of the Goldman Sachs offices in Jersey City, in the heart of the city's financial district.
The area earned its nickname because it's home to many financial firms and for its proximity across the Hudson River to lower Manhattan.
Protesters also plan to gather at the Statehouse in Trenton.
The Occupy Wall Street demonstrations began Sept. 17 in New York City with a few dozen people protesting what they say is the negative impact of corporate greed on the nation's economy.
The protests have quickly spread to cities across the country.
Participants range from college students worried about their job prospects to middle-age workers who have been recently laid off.

An artist (he graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1955), Wilson started his career doing newspaper advertising layouts. In 1955, he started working for American Greetings as a designer, rising to Creative Director in 1957, and vice-president of creative development in 1978. But he'll be best remembered as a cartoonist: he created "Ziggy" in 1971, and grew it to syndication in 500 newspapers worldwide. He drew the panel until 1987, when it was taken over by his son, Tom II.
"The name Ziggy derived from his father's school experience of being the last alphabetically" Tom II says. "When a new classmate arrived with a last name beginning with 'Z,' the idea took root with the friendly sounding 'y' ending, such as Billy or Tommy. Ziggy is a last-in-line character. The last picked for everything and kind of a lovable kind of loser character." The senior Wilson died September 16 after fighting lung cancer. He was 80.

Iran's national flag carrier Iran Air is set to receive five new ATR planes amid looming US sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
"Based on existing agreements, five new ATR planes will land at Mehrabad Airport at 9 a.m. local time (0430 GMT) tomorrow (Sunday)," Iran Air said on its Telegram channel on Saturday.
Iran Air CEO Farzaneh Sharafbafi, who is in France, was quoted by media as saying that the new aircraft would fly to Iran from the Toulouse airport.
The five turboprop ATR-72600 planes are part of a deal for 20 new aircraft that Iran Air agreed to buy from the Franco-Italian aircraft maker in April 2017, of which eight have been delivered so far.
The agreement came after restrictions on Iran's aviation industry were lifted following the implementation of the 2015 nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
On May 8, however, US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew Washington from the JCPOA despite objections from other signatories to the deal - Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China.
The withdrawal entails not only the re-imposition of sanctions on Iran but also the so-called secondary sanctions on third countries. Some of those sanctions will take effect after a 90-day wind-down period ending on August 6, and the rest after a 180-day wind-down period ending on November 4.
Monday will mark the final day of the 90-day wind-down period after which US sanctions will snap back into place.
Earlier this week, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said he was "hopeful" that ATR would get permission from the US to deliver eight regional planes to Iran before August 6.
"I am hopeful that the United States will give us permission to deliver these ATRs," he told French broadcaster BFM TV.
"There were eight to be delivered before August 6," he added, highlighting the "significant share" of the order for ATR's turnover.
In 2016, Iran signed a $18 billion deal with European manufacturer Airbus to purchase 100 new planes, including 46 aircraft from the A320 family, 38 from the A330 family, and 16 from the A350 XWB.
It also inked another agreement worth $16.6 billion to buy 80 new planes from US aviation company Boeing, comprising 50 737 airliners and 30 777s.
Iran has so far received three Airbus planes.

Ravi Teja has now no work on hand. All his projects are either being dropped off or being postponed. He has been sitting idle for the last eight months.
As there is no sign of any development in the new film he planned for producer Danayya, he is leaving for foreign Holidays to while away the time.
According to our sources, Ravi Teja will also do rejuvenation therapy for few days at some foreign exotic resort.
Ravi Teja is not cutting down his remuneration. A Ravi Teja film is costing Rs 25 – 30 cr to the producers and if his movies become big hit they would collect around Rs 30 Cr. So the producers are not earning much. Hence all producers are asking him to slash down the remuneration to cut down the production but he is refusing to do.
Ravi Teja has been sitting idle since the release of "Bengal Tiger" which hit the theaters last year.

In my new release, my heroine is a spy, assigned to work in the house of a courtesan. Courtesans were at the apex of the sex trade: highly-skilled entertainers who traded on their looks and sex appeal to earn a living. The book also includes a visit to a brothel, in the excerpt I share below this historical note.
At the time I write about, according to Dan Cruickshank's The Secret History of Georgian London, one in five women in London earned income from the sale of sex. He called London:
a vast, hostile, soulless, wicked all-devouring but also fatally attractive place that makes and breaks, that tempts, inflames, satisfies, yet corrupts and ultimately kills.
Sex workers—defined as those who made some or part of their living by selling sex—ranged from those offering a quick bang up against a wall in a…

Even though Republicans lost the Senate and White House, I believe that they could score some major points with the 2014 and 2016 voters if they'd propose some much needed legislation. Of course, it will never go further than the House, but it'd put Democrats in the Senate on the record for refusing to take it to a vote.
First, pass a bill that prohibits Congress from passing any law that does not apply to all members of Congress. Actually, I think this should be a Constitutional Amendment.
Next, pass a true Balanced Budget Amendment.
Next, pass a bill requiring Term Limits. This is what the founding fathers envisioned: that citizens would serve in office for a few years, then step aside for others to do so. No more career politicians holding Congressional seats for 40 years. I think this should also be a Constitutional Amendment.
Next, pass a bill that prohibits Congress from using its taxing authority to force Americans to do or purchase something. I'm not sure if this can be done, but give it a try.
Now, pass a bill that prohibits the United Nations from imposing laws on Americans that violate our Constitution. Just for the record.
Now, pass a bill prohibiting earmarks. How about a bill that requires new legislation to focus on only one issue at a time instead of bills containing completely unrelated provisions.
There should also be a bill that requires 30 days of review and analysis for every 50 pages of legislation. No more "let's pass it so we can see what's in it". The Congressional Research Service should post an explanation of proposed legislation in lay terms so Americans can understand what their representatives are getting them into.
I think all of these bills would be enthusiastically supported by the American people. And when these bills are passed by the House, stage a massive marketing campaign so the American people can see who's really on their side…and who isn't.

False Claims Act Lawyers Move to Dismiss
Boston false claims act lawyers, led by Barry Pollack, won dismissal of qui tam case in Maryland.
On March 6, 2018, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland dismissed a qui tam action brought by a former employee against a PSD client. The plaintiff claimed that she was fired after reporting Form I-9 deficiencies to her supervisor. In a 21-page opinion, the court rejected all claims.
The court dismissed Count I, which attempted to plead a violation of the False Claims Act. The court found a lack of sufficient allegations of falsity and materiality. In doing so, the court agreed with defendants that it could consider the forms at issue. Defendants submitted blank versions of the forms to the motion to dismiss.
The court noted: "Because Potter has not contested the authenticity of these forms and they are integral to Potter's Complaint, the Court considers them." In its analysis, the court explained that, while allegations of false certifications of compliance can suffice , "the compliance at issue must be 'a prerequisite' to securing the government funding ….'" As a result of the limited items that CASA certified, the court found that Potter failed to allege a false certification. Also, the court held that, "[b]ecause the Complaint does not show how CASA's failure to disclose its 1-9 noncompliance would have influenced the government's funding decisions, Potter has not adequately demonstrated materiality." The court dismissed the case without prejudice in light of Potter's complaint predating a recent Supreme Court decision. But the court noted skepticism about Potter's ability to state a claim.
Also, the court dismissed Count II, which attempted to plead a conspiracy to violate the FCA, agreeing with defendants. The court stated that "Potter's conspiracy claim turns on the same factual basis … as her substantive FCA claim."
A copy of the decision can be found here: 180307-opinion-dismissing-claims
Retaliation Claim Dismissed
In its decision, the court also dismissed Count III, which attempted to plead a retaliation claim under the FCA. The court found that Potter based her retaliation claim on reporting Form I-9 deficiencies. This did not trigger the statutory protection because she did not allege retaliation for raising potential FCA claims. In addition, the court found that Potter's allegations failed to show an objectively reasonable belief that a claim under the FCA might proceed. Again the court allowed Potter to try to replead., but again expressed skepticism. The court cautioned that "according to Defendants' Reply, Potter's DOJ disclosure focused on CASA's supposed violations of immigration law rather than fraud under the FCA." The court continued, "to the extent Defendants are correct, Potter cannot cure her FCA retaliation claim …."

New Kairali, a restaurant nestling in the heart of the city, in Anna Nagar, Chennai, is literally a home away from home. Once inside its cool interiors, with stained glass paintings depicting scenes from God's own country adorning the walls, it evokes nostalgia.
Mr. Uday Chandran Nayar, the restaurateur, an easy going, down to earth, practical person, with an endearing smile. Udhay was only too glad to share with Small Enterprise India snippets of his success story. Born and brought up in Chennai, Udhay completed his degree in catering from Asan Memorial College in the year 1995. His first placement was with Taj Coromandel; and he continued there for three years, which gave him the much needed, strong foundation required to be a restaurateur par excellence.
Next, he got into Jet Airways, later into Taj Residency as banquet manager . He strode up the ladder of achievements unabated. At Jet Airways, he suffered a minor setback." They threw me out without a parachute", laughed Udhay. Setbacks, do not deter him.Infact, they motivate him to find a silver lining in every black cloud.
He ventured into consultancy, helping to set up restaurants. He had saved up a little during his stint at Jet Airways and coupled with that, his friends financed him to enroll in ITM, to complete his MBA in marketing. It was his dream to travel abroad, but he cites two reasons for not doing so. He had no funds, and secondly, he had joined the restaurant, Sanjha Choolah, as part time manager. It was here that he truly, learnt the ropes of this business and realized his passion for it.
Sanjha choolah was reluctant to let go of this enterprising youngster, and made him a director at the very young age of 24! He continued at Sanjha Choolah for three years and quit in the year 2003 to branch out into consultancy. Casablanca, Zanzibar, sri Krishna bhavan, Prime Rooster, Aban group, Rolls, JC'S Café in Nungambakkam, Reeves, a multi cuisine restaurant in Thuraipakkam. Are a few of those outlets which have grown and flourished under his able mentorship.
He is particular about the fact that he does consulting for any outlet only until they start, and after that, for just a brief span of three months. "Hospitality industry is a tough preposition, _ with sleepless nights, and it being a thankless job. It's not about passion for cooking or money to start a hotel", opines Udhay.
In the year 2005, on February 18, with a bank balance of Rs 18000 and a goal of 10, 00,000, he messaged 105 friends asking for 20000 each, to start his own outlet. He promised to pay them back, when he had made profits. Seventy five replied_ "any time"!
Udhay reminisces nostalgically, and with gratitude, Mr. Bala, who lent him his initial investment of 25600. To this day, Bala remains his spiritual and motivational guru. Thus, he opened his won restaurant at Nelson Manickam road in Chennai. Next, he ventured to cater to Tidal Park, and for Malayali club for four years. At about this time, a series of setbacks followed him and he had to sell this Nelson Mmanickam outlet.
Unfazed, his belief in himself spurred him onto scale greater heights.
Life has taught him contentment and the aggressiveness in him has mellowed down considerably. He has also adopted the philosophy of "letting go", which helps him to retain his peace of mind and not allow his soul to be tainted by grudges and grievances.
Meanwhile, he had set up his new outlet, New Kairali at Anna Nagar, which is renowned for its choice delicacies, especially sea food, which draws clientele to return time and again to partake of the excellent fare. A childhood fiend Rajesh, is in partnership with him. At about the same time, he happened to meet three of his former colleagues from his days at Taj Coromandel. They decided to join hands to start a bistro in Velachery and appropriately named it Parfeit3: Parfeit in French means perfect, perfect in quality, quantity and service.
Within three months, Udhay incorporated the bakery and confectionary to it. Parfeit3 caters to cosmopolitan club and currently they own one more bistro in Thiruvanmiyur. There was no looking back for Udhay after this. He eulogises that, to get the best out of life, is to always self tune oneself. "Success comes only when the situation is best understood"_ Udhay smiles. His out door catering, as well as his consultancy are aptly named 101 Concepts. In explanation, hesitates that. For every 10 of whatever he undertakes, one is kept aside for Divinity. Truly astounding philosophy, that!!!
His future plans include procuring a doctorate in marketing and PR. Yet another feather to his cap! Right now, despite his busy schedules he finds time to pursue MPhil. Udhay travels widely, providing training to various institutions, one among many being Citibank, where he had imparted level 1 and level 2 training. By the year 2020, he aspires to have ten outlets of his own, which, he asserts, will provide him with a comfortable income, to support him and his family, to live in great style and comfort. He plans s to retire by the age of 45, and devote time to his family. As time passes, he is keen on devoting time to mentoring and assisting those in need, lend a helping hand, as he had been helped once…
He is careful in choosing whom he mentors. The major drawback, according to him that the industry faces, is that there are no laws prevalent in the country, specifying a set of rules to start a restaurant." Its all about having the right attitude and having proper understanding of concepts. Resource management, finance, raw material, PR and concept management_ these are the essentials that have to be mastered. And they can't be mastered overnight. It takes patience, understanding, of concepts and dedication to succeed. It is ironical that, out of 100 mentored, only 2% of them succeed and these two are the truly daring ones. This is how Udhay calculates every step of his life carefully. Numbers have been his constant strength and an underlying philosophy in all his endeavors.
Cheers to a man who can be picked out one in a million, who completes to perfection each task, values human relationships, one who dares to admit his flaws, understand them and channelise it the right way . He is truly a career driven individual, a complete human being, doting husband and father, an amicable friend and a self motivated, deeply spiritual caring person.

About Matchless Raijin-Oh Season 2 DVD
This Matchless Raijin-Oh Season 2 collection contains episodes 26-51.
The journey's halfway done, but the action is far from winding down for the Earth Defense Class. With the mechanical duo of Raijin-Oh and Bakuryu-Oh at their disposal, there seems to be nothing, not even the Jaku Satan, that can conquer the Earth now. Especially when they fuse into the Matchless God Raijin-Oh!
However Belzeb, Felzeb, and Taida of the Jaku Empire are not so easily dissuaded. As their schemes get craftier, it becomes apparent that the Earth tasted only a fraction of its enemy's true power. Worse still, the sinister Jaku Emperor Warusa has grown weary of his underlings' failures and wavering loyalties. The time draws nigh when he shall have to take matters into his own hands...

You made it, welcome to the City of Roses! Check in to your hotel, then go. Farm-to-table dining, craft breweries, art, museums, shopping—more to explore than you have time, but it's fun trying.
Gateway to the gorge. Slip through the Bonneville Dam locks, then head behind the scenes at the visitor center. You're in luck with a private tour of its massive turbines and fish ladders. Take a walk on the wild side at Multnomah Falls—the tallest in the state. Your guides have the options. Hike a moderate, switchback trail 2.2 miles roundtrip through temperate rainforest to the top of the falls. Or get legs a'burning with 1,600 feet of elevation gain on a 5.4-mile loop to Wahkeena Falls. In Native Yakima, Wahkeena means "most beautiful." Rest easy and cruise upriver through the gorge. It's 80 miles long, up to 4,000 feet deep, and cuts the only sea level route through the Cascade Mountains.
Lava flows, floods, and volcanic ash deposits shaped the Rowena—sheer cliffs, basalt landforms, wide-stretching plateaus. At Rowena Overlook, it's boots-on-the-ground exploration. Opt for 1-mile to the crest of Tom McCall Nature Preserve. Your reward: expansive views in every direction—including the river far below. Or, choose the steeper, 3-mile Tom McCall Point trail. On a cloudless day, your effort gaining 1,000 feet of elevation pays off with views of Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, and the Columbia River GorgeOUS! Post-hike, fuel up. There's time to cycle or stroll along the Twin Tunnels Trail—a pedestrian-only section of the historic Columbia River Highway, or tour a Hood River orchard and working farm (that makes a mighty fine cider).
River play is on the agenda today—whichever option you pick start with a shallow wet landing on beach. Choose whitewater with a Deschutes rafting adventure. Class II and III+ rapids come with names like Elevator and Surf City. Rafting guides provide the gear (including optional wetsuits) and expertise; your ship's chef provides the picnic lunch. Stick to dry land and hike or bike in the canyon of Deschutes River State Recreation Area. Take a dip in a lazy section of the river, and let the sunshine dry you up after a swim. Along the river's edge, listen to the rustle of cottonwoods. Swap stories with your shipmates over sunset cocktails and appetizers.
Award-winning wines come out of the Red Mountain AVA. Sweeping views surround Terra Blanca Winery & Estate Vineyard. And its owner and winemaker do a good job of keeping you on the task of tasting. A private tour takes you through the vineyards and into their wine caves. After lunch, soak up the beauty of your surroundings with guided yoga stretches in a Richland park. Or, opt to run, walk or bike along the Columbia River Trail. Cruise the river this evening. Pop into the bridge to chat up the captain. Relax on the sun deck with a book and a glass of wine—or with your complimentary massage.
The essentials of the day—kayaks, paddle boards, swimsuits, and hiking shoes. Bring your binocs, too (there's great birding and views). At the only remaining waterfall formed by the ice age-era Missoula Floods, hike through the canyon to view the falls—which according to tribal legend, were born after a gallant fight with a mythic creature. Afterwards, skiff out to the kayaks and grab a paddle or go for a swim in the Palouse River Canyon. Wind up the afternoon cruising one of the most scenic stretches of the Snake River. After your final upriver locking at Lower Granite Dam, dock in Clarkston, Washington.
The history of this area is as rich as the canyon walls are dense. Delve into it! After breakfast, it's a treat when a Nez Perce tribal member comes aboard for a special story, song, and music presentation. Lewis & Clark, Nez Perce, early Pioneers—signs of the past tell tales on your jet boat ride into the canyon. Keep your eyes peeled for sure-footed bighorn sheep, golden eagles, and 7,000-year-old petroglyphs. Hemmed in by vertical cliffs, this free-flowing stretch of the Snake cuts its way through North America's deepest river gorge. Celebrate the week tonight with a Farewell Dinner and slide show recap presented by your expedition team.

After much consideration and encouragement, I've decided to start releasing vlogs. I mention the encouragement because one of the main sources of inspiration for these videos is the support I've received as a result of my podcast–from my cohosts, friends, and fans. I write that last word with hesitant fingers as the people I've connected with as a result of my show feel like more than fans. They're kindred spirits, which is why my co-hosts and I created the term Midsider.
Teresa Summerlee Isanhart is perhaps the original Midsider and was one of the first people to push me to vlog. Tragically, yesterday as I put the finishing touches on my first video, her son posted on her Facebook page that she had passed away. Her reaction was one that I was looking forward to seeing and using as a barometer of the quality of my work. It saddens me deeply that she'll never see this video and any future ones.
On a happier note, I'm still here to make many more, and you're still here to (hopefully) watch them. This one though, this one's for Teresa.
