He feels that any decisions about equity investment should be made with the assumption that the the three major market indexes could test their respective October lows. The Dow industrials DJIA, +0.93% is down 70 points at 8,061, the S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.82% is losing 8 points to 854 and the Nasdaq Composite $compq is shedding 11 points to 1,331, versus their respective October lows of 7,197.49, 768.63 and 1,108.49, which were all hit in intraday trading on Oct. 10.

Weekends are what we look forward to all week, but long weekends are what we look forward to all year. This weekend kicks off the start of summer with friends, family, and let's be real, throwing back a couple brewskies!
People still say brewskies, right? We have the ultimate line-up of epically delicious craft beers for all your go-to weekend destinations.
Beach Vibes | Founder's Green Zebra Gose Ale
Founders Brewing Company first released Green Zebra as part of their Artist Series in 2017, but its booming flavors helped it become one of the brewery's featured items. Green Zebra is kind of the Sour Patch Kids of beer. Your first sip is engulfed with sour notes and finishes with vibrant watermelon highlights that tingle your taste buds. This powerful sweet and sour combo is infused with sea salt, making it ideal for a weekend at the beach. Skip your traditional light beer and go straight for this refreshingly sour ale that pairs perfectly with that crisp, salty breeze, but hopefully not a mouthful of ocean from a boogie boarding wipe-out.
Pool Chills | Lagunitas Sumpin' Easy Ale
Lagunitas Brewing Company knows there's Sumpin' Easy about savoring a cold one by the pool with all your friends. This pale ale is filled with fresh pear aromas and slightly bitter hops. Ideal for the individual easily overwhelmed by the bitterness of full-bodied IPAs - it is the IPA "light." Nothing screams the ultimate pool party beer than this laid back, totally sippable pick.
Lake Daze | Funky Buddha Floridian Hefeweizen
If you're a true Floridian, you know that lake days are best spent with a beer in hand... or both hands. Funky Buddha Brewery has captured the essence of Florida with a German twist in this Floridian Hefeweizen. This golden wheat beer is full of tropical aromas that fill your senses with banana and citrus notes. If you don't already have this refreshing Hefeweizen on your lake day beer bucket list, you need to. It will have you floating in a lake daze all weekend long.
River Renegades | Cigar City Jai Alai India Pale Ale
Jai Alai is our top choice for Indian Pale Ale from Cigar City Brewing. Even though it is named after the fast pitch game native to Spain, we like to take it slow with this bold brew. Float for hours or relax on the bank for an ideal river weekend. The intense tangerine and orange peel aromas join perfectly with its strong hops and bitter character, making it the perfect option for those that love leisure.
Whichever beer you decide on, our stores are the place to pack the cooler. Find your nearest location here.

Surely by now, you've heard about Blockchain technology, a digital ledger used to record financial transations. Because blockchain is accessible anywhere, any time, information recorded on it is public and verifiable — making it a great way to manage finances. Although traditionally many companies have used banks and other traditional institutions for financing, blockchain technology has the potential to completely revolutionize the way they manage their financing.
Already, there are companies using blockchain. To learn more about some of them, take a look at the list below. It's the era of digital financial investments, and these companies are paving the way for change.
1. Zen Protocol
In the same way that Bitcoin uses blockchain for peer-to-peer money transactions, Zen Protocol is a platform on which you can trade peer-to-peer. What makes this possible? In part, it's this company's smart contracts, which hold escrow and enforcement agreements. Additionally, Zen Protocol is integrated, and can be merge-minded, with Bitcoin, which means that you can turn any smart contract into a Bitcoin smart contract.

In today's declining economy and slow housing market your business might be at a stand still. If you are a home builder or home appliance store offering an energy audit could really help your business. Almost everyone is well educated about the need to go green and lower our energy usage as much as possible. People really want to save on their energy bills and help the environment. Many people don't know what exactly to change to make their homes more efficient, this is where the home energy audit process comes in. Homeowners hire professionals to do a home energy audit to help them learn what they can change to make their home more efficient.
3 Reasons You Should Offer Home Energy Audits
- Business can be very slow due to the economy. People are really hanging on to their money and not spending on lavish things. A home energy audit is something people are willing to spend money on since it will in turn save them money. A home is a person's most value investment and they want to protect it and invest in it. You can rest assured that this is a service many people will want to take advantage of.
- A home energy audit can lead to more sales for your business. It is unlikely that a homeowner is going to pay for an energy audit and then do nothing about the results. The audit is to show the home owner what can be done to fix the problems. If you offer the services and appliances they need to make their home more efficient this is a great way to lead to more sales.
- It is a great way to market your business. People are very in tune with going green and they want to choose energy conscious businesses. This is a great way to market your company showing the importance of the environment and your local community.
Now that you realize that positive aspects of offering home energy audits you can look into the certifications and steps need to offer this service. It can be a very beneficial service to your business. It can really turn around your sales and business growth in this slow economy.

New Delhi: The Congress on Friday hitting out at the Narendra Modi-led central government said it has delayed implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) for more than three years.
"There is lots of confusion because they say they will launch GST from July 1. The GST network rejected CAG's request to name auditor and do an extra audit. This has had sad reflection with regard to preparedness to launch the GST," said senior Congress leader and MP Veerappa Moily.
He also said that VAT Income of all the states has declined sharply.
"This is mainly because of the demonetisation and also due to various other factors. Naturally, as far as the GST is concerned, it is said by many economists that for another 2-3 years, GST revenues will be decelerating in all the states. The states will be badly hit," he added.
Moily said: "This has not been envisaged by the Finance Minister (Arun Jaitley). No provision whatsoever has been made in the present budget for meeting such challenges. That means they are most insensitive for implementing a very important enactment like GST."
"The blame should go to the present government, which has delayed implementation of GST for more than three years," he added.
Further commenting on the budget, Moily said it reflects the sad affair of the allocations to the defence sector.
"They have surrendered Rs 7,000 crore of capital budget of 2016-17, which underlies the structural incapability of this government to spend even the inadequate allocation."
"They do not do anything to strengthen the capabilities of their establishments. India faces conventional war challenges from Pakistan's F-16s and rapidly modernizing Chinese Air Force," Moily added.
He noted: "The capital outlay has decreased in the fiscal year 2017-18, to Rs 10.5 billion that means 5 per cent decrease from the previous year. This will decelerate military modernization and preparedness."

Thickening increases the solids content of the sludge in preparation for dewatering. Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) is collected in Thickener Tank and pumped to thickening centrifuges, which Thickening Centrifugeseparate the liquid content of the sludge in a similar way to how the spin cycle of a washing machine removes water from clothes. Thickened WAS (TWAS) flows by gravity to blend tanks, where it is mixed with the raw sludge from primary treatment tanks.
Dewatering increases the sludge's solids content to about 28 per cent total solids in preparation for incineration. TWAS and Dewatering Centrifugeprimary sludge are collected in the blend tanks and pumped to dewatering centrifuges. Dewatered cake is conveyed by an inclined screw conveyor into collection silos. Centrate flows by gravity to centrate tanks and is pumped back to the head of the plant for treatment. Polymer is added to the blended sludge feed to increase efficiency.
Fluid Bed Incinerators:
The dewatered solids are pumped from the collection silos to the fluid bed incinerators.
Fluid Bed IncineratorCombustion air is fed into the windbox at the base of the incinerator. Dewatered cake and supplementary fuel (fuel oil or natural gas), if necessary, is pumped into the fluidized sand bed. Water is evaporated and most of the solids combustion is processed within the sand bed. Final combustion occurs above the bed in the freeboard section with exhaust gases exiting at 700 - 900 degrees Celsius.
The air pollution control system consists of a quenching unit, impingement Air Pollution Controlscrubber and a multiple, fixed venturi scrubber. The quenching unit reduces the exhaust gas temperature and most of the ash and gaseous pollutants are collected in a slurry and flow by gravity to the ash tanks. The impingement scrubber and fixed venturi further reduce the temperature of the exhaust gas and remove the rest of the ash and gaseous pollutants. Cleaned and cooled exhaust is discharged to the atmosphere. Dedicated emissions monitoring systems provide a continuous check on emissions leve

"Game of Thrones" Nears Its End
The penultimate chapter of Game of Thrones finished airing a few weeks ago, officially marking the beginning of the end for the TV juggernaut. The writers have been proceeding without George RR Martin's guidance, as he has yet to finish the final book, which may be why this season felt more predictable. We were still given some phenomenal segments, particularly in "The Spoils of War," but seven episodes is a small space to squeeze in the complex plot of Game of Thrones, especially at this point. As a result, it felt as though some corners were cut. (Warning- spoilers ahead.)
Up to and including the finale, season 7 was full of payoffs. From Jon and Daenerys finally meeting, to the triumphant reunion of the Starks, to the bitter reunion of the Lannisters, audiences saw some encounters they likely thought would never happen.
Subplots collided as the war against the White Walkers was brought to the forefront, which is what the show has been working towards since the start. While Game of Thrones has had (and still has) plenty of villainous characters, the Night King has always been the true big bad; like the Voldemort of Westeros. This season's biggest accomplishment was finally getting all the good guys on the same side, including Jaime, who finally left Cersei in the finale.
Shortly after Jaime's departure, we saw the Night King use his new zombie-dragon to destroy part of the Wall so that his army can pass. Fortunately, the dead are the only ones on the show who still travel at normal speed, so there will still be some time before they reach Winterfell, whereas Jaime probably made it all the way there as the Wall was falling.
In all seriousness, the fast-traveling and, by extension, the pacing in general was the main problem with this season. Previously, it took entire episodes before characters reached their destinations. Now, everyone can seemingly teleport to wherever they need to be, which is likely a consequence having fewer episodes and less time for filler.
But who imposed that the last two seasons must be shorter than the rest? Game of Thrones is a cash cow for HBO, so why are they not milking it? David Benioff, a co-creator of the show, said in an interview with Deadline "We wanted it to be one giant story, without padding it out to add an extra 10 hours, or because people are still watching it." He also said that having fewer episodes would allot more money for each one, meaning they can get more grandiose leading up to the big finish.
Speaking of finishes, the season finale was a mixed bag. It was hard not to geek out during the big meeting when nearly every major character was in the same place at the same time, but in the end, it didn't accomplish anything. Cersei's truce was false, which everyone will find out eventually (or sooner if Bran discovers he can use his omniscient powers when it's not just convenient for the plot.) On top of that, the big reveal at the end of the episode was essentially the same as in last season's finale. Both told us the truth of Jon's parentage, except we got more details this time. Bran and Sam discovered that Jon is not a bastard of any sort, but is Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark's legitimate son named Aegon, meaning he is the true heir to the Iron Throne. Unfortunately, this was revealed as Jon was having sex with Daenerys, who happens to be his aunt. Leave it to Game of Thrones to make you conflicted on incest.
The biggest problem I have with this reveal is that Bran should have known it already. All the necessary information was revealed to young Ned on Lyanna's deathbed, from Jon's lineage to his real (non-bastard) name, which Bran witnessed last season. The writers clearly just wanted the juxtaposition of Jon and Daenerys making love with the confirmation that he is a Targaryen.
The showrunners will have their work cut out for them next season, with a lot of material to cover in not a lot of time. Will Theon outgrow his cowardice and save his sister? What will become of Cersei's child? Who will ultimately sit on the Iron Throne? And, most importantly, will they give Jaime a Valyrian steel hand? Unlikely, I know, but I would love to see him fatally slap a White Walker.
Overall, the seventh season of Game of Thrones provided plenty of fan service and some fantastic sequences, but rushed to an unimpressive conclusion.
Final Score: 7/10

Here's What You May or May Not Have Missed This Week:
• House committee members voted unanimously on Thursday to pass the 21st Century Cures Act, which is aimed at streamlining the drug approval process in the U.S. Congress did not cut the 340B drug discount program to fund the Cures bill; the 340B program is considered a backbone for hospitals that serve low-income Medicare and Medicaid patients. Source
• Banner Health officials chose 34 SNFs in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area as "recommended facilities" for patients leaving its hospitals who need short-term skilled-nursing care. The preferred providers will work closely with Banner to return patients home more quickly and prevent hospital re-admissions, in exchange for a greater volume of referrals. Source
• A recent survey found that 83 percent of health care executives believe that the ICD-10 transition will happen on Oct. 1, 2015 with no further delays. Meanwhile, Rep. Diane Black (Tennessee) has introduced the ICD-TEN Act, a bill requiring an 18-month transition period to test the submittal of ICD-10 claims during which time medical practices would not be penalized.

How long have you been a vegan? Vegetarian for 20 years, vegan off and on for the last 5 and full vegan for 2 years.
What made you decide to embrace a plant-based diet? It all stemmed from my love for animals and not feeling right about killing another living, feeling being. Later on, it also became about health.
What was the hardest food to move away from? None, really. Once I realized the pain and suffering that comes from most conventional foods, it was easy to stop eating them. It actually felt amazing getting away from that. Also, any food that I craved could be made without animal products. I find that cravings are more about textures and seasonings, than animal flesh.
Any advice to new vegans?
#1-Don't be ashamed of your veganism, but also don't stress yourself trying to make everyone become a believer. Set an example by living your own truth and standing firm in that.
#2-Be prepared with a wide variety of vegan foods. Make sure you have a well stocked fridge and cabinet and also take food/snacks with you to work or away from home. In the beginning it can be difficult to navigate stores, restaurants, etc. Especially, if you're going straight from omni to vegan.
What are some of your favorite books/websites on veganism? I try to put a lot of vegan/healthy recipes on my site CraftyEarthMama.com. I also really love rawfoodtalk.com, PPK.com and BrownVegan.com of course!
Please share a recipe you enjoy. This is one dish that's requested over and over. I make a large batch at once to share and also freeze.
The Best Ever Vegan Mac n Cheese
You can even add different things to put your own spin on it. One of my favorite variations is to add sundried tomatoes and spinach.
About 4 meal size servings or 6 as a side dish
16oz of macaroni or penne pasta (I usually use penne. The little tubes holds sauce well and I like the texture)
1c cashews (grind to powder first, unless you're using a high speed blender like vita mix)
1c veggie broth
1/2 a roasted red pepper
2tbl lemon juice
3tbl nutritional yeast
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp onion powder
1tsp smoked paprika
dash cayenne
1/3c canola oil
salt and pepper to taste (I use lot's of black pepper)
about 1/2c pasta cooking liquid
Baked Version:
Cook pasta in salted water until just under done. Drain pasta, but do not rinse. Reserve 1/2c of the cooking liquid and set pasta aside.
In a blender add veggie broth, cashews, roasted red pepper, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and cayenne. Blend until smooth and then slowly drizzle in the oil. Add s and p to taste.
Topping for baking:
bread crumbs (I use whole wheat baguette or rolls and bake until crisp)
1 small clove garlic
pinch salt
1tbl olive oil
Put bread, garlic, salt and oil in food processor and mix until well combined.
Putting it together:
Combine pasta and sauce. If pasta is too dry, add reserved cooking liquid as needed. Pour into oiled baking dish. Top with bread crumb mixture and bake at 450 until browned. I like my top really crunchy, so I brown it under the broiler for a minute right before I remove it from the oven. Keep an eye on it, the broiler can go from brown to burnt quickly!
Stove top version:
Make sauce as directed above. Put sauce and pasta into pot and stir on simmer until well combined and desired consistency is achieved. Add pasta cooking liquid as needed

Happy National Margarita Day! This holiday is a strange one indeed, and like the origin of the Margarita itself, the day's beginnings are unknown. Nevertheless, despite not knowing where it comes from, I wanted to share 5 of my favorite Margaritas I have had this last year, and where to enjoy them.
1. Pepino Diablo at La Esquina NYC
Cucumber and Tanteo Jalapeño go so well together, and this is one of the coolest places to drink this spicy yet refreshing concoction. It takes a walk through the kitchen to get into the subterranean den in this semi-hidden Soho restaurant and lounge (and very close to our very own Casa Tanteo), but once you are in, you are transformed into a place that seems so distant from the bustling streets above. Reservations are required here, so make sure to plan in advance.
2. Garden Variety Margarita at the Wayland NYC
Another salad in a glass, the addition of fresh kale and fresh ginger juice give this Margarita so much snap. While they have the regular version as well, step up to the spicy Tanteo version for a truly unique experience. This Margarita has a more aggressive flavor than most, all the way up to the smoked salt on the rim, so this is not for the faint of heart. The ambiance here is also amazing. With great service that is proper but unpretentious, and live music 4 nights a week, I have been a consistent patron of this bar since the day it opened (Full disclosure: Operating Partner and monthly musician Brian Hawthorne is also a close friend of mine).
3. El Chingon at Tanta Chicago
This high volume Peruvian restaurant really cranks with this Tanteo Jalapeño, Mezcal, and Red Pepper concoction. Each cocktail is also served with a spherical rococo ice cube (a spicy red pepper puree that is frozen). As a former restaurant operator, it is very impressive how they can execute so many of these cocktails while putting so much attention to each one. The food is also fantastic at this ever busy restaurant, and during the warmer months they have a beautiful patio as well.
4. Master Minsingmah at Good Luck Bar Los Angeles
Don't ask me the origin story of this cocktail name, but just know that it is delicious. Not only does the sweetness of the fresh watermelon balance out the heat from the Jalapeño, the color is a beautiful pink in this dimly lit LA institution. This cocktail is also topped with ginger beer, giving an extra bit of snap and pop that complements the watermelon well. Like all the spots on this list - the ambiance here is very cool - one part old school LA glamour and one part kitch. It is no wonder that hospitality veteran Sean Macpherson created the vibe her over 20 years ago.
5. Tanteo Jalapeño Margarita at Rocco's Tacos (FL and New York)
I wanted to finish with the classic. No one does Margaritas in a festive atmosphere like Roccos. Although you know my opinion on Cointreau in Margaritas, the one is pretty darn good, and I always promote getting a pitcher and sharing with a few friends. A fun place to start or end the night, I love going to their brooklyn location, and then heading to watch a basketball game at the nearby Barclay's Center.
So there you have it - 5 fantastic cocktails to try at 5 equally fantastic restaurants and lounges across the United States. Good food, good drinks, and great friends make great experiences. Get some friends out there and enjoy one of these drinks tonight. Please continue the conversation online at @neiltherealdeal on Instagram and @neilgrosscup on Twitter.
Para la buena vida,

#A-ZChallenge E for Employment
The Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is an annual challenge put out to bloggers to publish a post from A-Z every day in April, except for Sundays. April 1 is A, and so on throughout the month. The theme I have chosen for 2018 is The Story Of Me
I started working in a milk bar, after school, at age 15. I really enjoyed the independance that earning my own money gave me. Even though it wasn't much, it was enough to be able to buy myself a few extras that I couldn't expect my parents to pay for.
The milk bar work was after school and on weekends, so in the school holidays I would always take on another job. Quite often, I'd be racing from one job to the other. Dad would pick me up after the all day job, and take me to the milk bar, where I'd work until closing. Thinking back, finding these jobs was never at all difficult. It definitely was a different time back then.
On leaving school, I went to work in the office at Ibis Milk Products, the local dairy, and one of the biggest employers in Shepparton. It was a large office for a rural city, and I learnt much about farming, and the challenges it presents.
After my marriage, and very shortly after the birth of my second child, we established our automotive business, specialising in automatic transmissions, which were very new technology at the time.
When I think back, this was a crazy time with a new business, a toddler and a new baby. I handled all the admin duties and most days would be in the office trying to work while keeping the toddler amused and hoping the baby would sleep for a couple of hours until I had finished. Often at night, I would head off to the local TAFE college to learn about the new technology of computers that was about to hit. We were the first automotive business in Shepparton, to computerise our accounts system. I remember the comments we received. Most people seemed to think we were crazy to get involved with computers. There was a lot of suspicion about whether a computer could be trusted to remember data about debtors.
This is the way my life seemed to roll along for a few years, especially after the third child came along. It was a very busy time and I'm really not sure how we survived it. Over the years, the business grew and became very successful. We were constantly expanding and employing more staff to keep up with the extra business that was coming our way.
In the 80s, we decided to employ admin staff, so that I could have a life away from the workshop. I did continue to work there, but my hours were much reduced. At the time, I was heavily involved with the local gym, so I studied and became a qualified gym and fitness instructor. Very quickly the gym offered me a position leading fitness classes and also working on the gym floor. I was also teaching water arobics and going out to football clubs for private fitness classes. Eventually, I became manager of the gym, a position that I held for about 6 years.
At the time, our business was growing very quickly and it became obvious that I would need to go back to being hands on every day, which I continued to do until we sold the business to my son, in 2001.
After moving to Bendigo, I eventually went back to working in automotive for a few years until I decided to buy a local cafe that was for sale. This was a huge learning curve for me. But I absolutely loved it. I loved the long hours, and the hard work. I loved all the people I was meeting. After two years, I sold the cafe, as it was time to move on again.
I thought that would be the end of being employed, and spent a short period of time in retirement. I was then very surprised to be offered a position at a local supermarket. So for the past 8 months I've been a check out chick! I know it sounds silly, but this job is a perfect transition to retirement. My employment is casual and there is a huge variation in the hours. While in retirement,I was offered a job as a Nanny to two adorable children, and this continues today for just a few hours a week.
Between these two jobs, some weeks I might work 15 hours and others I might work 30 hours and more. This gives me the opportunity to enjoy life away from work when the hours are light on or really throw myself into it on the busy weeks.
Please visit again to see my story unfold.
Jennifer you are amazing – to have held such intensely responsible positions and to have succeeded in all of them is something you should be incredibly proud of. The two jobs you have now sound like the perfect way to keep involved outside the home, bring in a little bit of money on the side, and have some social interaction – win/win!

I had many jobs in life. My Dad hated his job (wanted to be a carpenter) but liked having the security for his family, so he always told me if you don't like your job, quit. Which I did haha!!
Worst job: when I was 15 working in the summer in a plastics factory where the machines got up to over 250 degrees, they made those little plastic trays that chocolates and cookies come in. I made $1/hour and worked 9 hours a day, unpaid lunch. Best job: at a place that bought and sold sailboats and rented out kayaks and boats. It was a joy to go to work every day near the water and never knowing what I would be doing that day, meeting new people, arranging sailing classes, buying for the store.

The first volume in Bear Family's THE HILLBILLIES: THEY TRIED TO ROCK 2014 series that brings together young and established Country artists of the '50's who were able to cross over to the Rock market with a new exciting sound now referred to as Rockabilly. On THEY TRIED TO ROCK, the label has collected a variety of examples of country musicians making the transition into Rock 'N' Roll. Some were very successful; others were less so. The results are all fascinating: The story of a genre struggling to hold it's own against enormous forces of change in the 1950's. Traditional American music battling against stylistic and economic pressures that threatened to engulf it. Country musicians wondered, 'Do we fight it or join it?' They did both as the new music began to spread. Here's some of what happened. 31 tracks.

Last Friday was the perfect weather for dining outdoors. We headed over to Stone Mad Pub to check out their beautiful stone patio. The booths are actually made of stone and covered with nice little cushions to keep it comfy.
We grabbed a few cocktails as we waited to get a spot outside. My date ordered his favorite cocktail, an Old Fashioned. He has been trying them all over town. This was a fun one with mashed oranges and cherries at the bottom. I picked out the Charles Dickens. It was the perfect patio drink. It was refreshing and sweet with a great ginger flavor.
We wanted to try a lot of different things so we went with ordering appetizers and sides.
We started with the BBQ Shrimp appetizer. The grill and pancetta gave it a smoky flavor and I loved the sweet Guinness BBQ sauce.
I adore brussel sprouts and this is most certainly my favorite way to eat them...with bacon. The side of Curried Cream Corn was my favorite dish! I have never had anything like it. It had all the buttery and creamy aspects of cream corn with a mild curry taste. I just wanted to drink it!
I highly recommend the stuffed peppers. They used a nice spicy pepper. It is stuffed with a lovely rice and sausage mixture and there was a nice crispy texture to the rice. It all worked very well with the sauce, which was excellent.
Since we just loved hanging out on the patio we finished up with a few beer cocktails and enjoyed the atmosphere. This place is beautiful inside and out.

Pretty in pastel! Eva Longoria shows off her spring style in Monte Carlo in mint patterned frock and elaborate pink heels
20:19 GMT, 13 June 2012
Desperate Housewives may have finally wrapped up after eight successful seasons.
But there's no rest for the wicked as actress Eva Longoria is continuing to promote the show.
The star dressed to impress as she turned out at the Monte Carlo Television Festival today.
Pastel lady: Eva Longoria matches a mint patterned bodycon dress with baby pink heels at the Monte Carlo Television Festival
Hot heels: The actress teamed her dress with a pair of bright pink Brian Attwood heels
And she certainly made an impression in her pastel-inspired get-up with a pair of hot to trot heels.
Eva, 37, wore a mint bodycon dress with a purple, white and black patterned print splashed across it.
She completed the look with some hot pink heels by Brian Atwood, which were buckled up around her tanned ankles and boasted an elaborate design on the back.
Star turn out: The Desperate Housewives star waved to the crowds as she showed up for the 52nd annual event
Longoria tottered in front of the photographers for the photo call as part of the 52nd annual event.
And she took the opportunity to speak out about rumours of a Desperate Housewives movie during her appearance at the festivities in Monaco.
She said: 'No, there won't be a movie. Marc Cherry, our creator, said there won't be a movie.
Star turn out: The Desperate Housewives star waved to the crowds as she showed up for the 52nd annual event
On show: The actress turned up to shoot a photo call for her hit TV show on her second day at the event
'We had eight years of exploring all these characters really to their fullest and this is the reason why we ended the show as well, because we thought the characters had evolved as much as they could.'
She added: 'I think when people compare us to shows like Sex and the City, which had 11, 12 episodes a year and they've only gone six years, we had 21 to 25 episodes a year for eight years, so we had a lot of time to really fully explore every option for every character.
All smiles: Eva dressed to impress for the appearance as she wore her dark locks tied up off her face
'And so I think that I don't know if there's anything else to see.'
Just the day before she was reunited with her The Young and the Restless cast at the festival.

We share around 70,000 customers with Affinity Water in the Folkestone and Dover area.
The following information will help customers who receive water supply charges from Affinity Water and wastewater charges from us.
You receive two bills because the water and wastewater services to your property are supplied by two different companies, Affinity Water for water services and Southern Water for wastewater services.
Affinity Water provides us with all the information we need to bill your metered wastewater charges.
Your water company will provide us with the meter details and we'll base our charges on the readings provided.
We can't meter the water that returns to the sewer for treatment because not all the water you use returns to the sewer. We've assessed the typical percentage return as 92.5% and so we bill based on a 'standard return to sewer' of this amount.
This means that for every 100 cubic metres supplied, we'll bill for 92.5 cubic metre
Please contact Affinity Water. If there are any problems with the meter that requires a change to your bill, we will be notified automatically.
If it's not possible to meter your water supply, you will switch from paying unmetered charges to paying assessed charges. These are calculated in various ways, for example the number of bedrooms in your home or on single occupancy.
Where a wastewater-only customer is placed on an assessed measured charge for water services, we'll also switch that customer to assessed wastewater charges.
In this situation, we use Affinity Water's method of assessment to calculate our wastewater charges.
Each independent water company has its own method of calculating assessed measured charges and therefore our wastewater charges reflect those differences.
If the number of occupants in your property changes, please contact Affinity Water, who'll inform us.
The table below shows our charges for 2018–19 for your area.
|Number of occupants
|Charges for year
(not including Surface Water and highway drainage charge)

text: LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Deutsche Bank downgraded U.K. media group Pearson PSON, -0.51% PSO, +0.10% to hold from buy, saying its education unit could suffer from pressure on U.S. state tax revenues over the next couple of years, while its business news unit "has been the main loser" from recent deals in the sector. Deutsche Bank said News Corp.'s deal to buy Dow Jones -- which owns The Wall Street Journal as well as MarketWatch, the publisher of this report -- means that if Pearson tries to sell the Financial Times it will be doing so from a position of weakness. Also, the combination of Thomson and Reuters rules out the two most obvious buyers for other parts of Pearson's publishing business due to anti-trust reasons, Deutsche Bank added.

In an effort to look as stunning as possible, many brides engage in last-minute beauty routines, but this can be a problem. Cramming multiple beauty routines into the two or three weeks before your wedding will make you feel more stressed out, in addition to making you look less than perfect. Treatments like facials can leave your skin reddened and irritated. They could even cause allergic reactions.
Experts say that you should start your wedding beauty regime at least six months before the big day. To help that beautiful facial glow along before your wedding, it is recommended that you take liquid collagen supplements, which contain a youth-boosting combination of ingredients that nourish the skin from the inside out.
Collagen drinks target the signs of aging related to collagen loss, such as wrinkles and fine lines. They also make your skin look smoother and more youthful, giving you the look of perfect skin on your wedding day. Unlike Botox, dermabrasion, injectable wrinkle fillers, and other invasive procedures, drinking a liquid collagen supplement won't have negative side effects that could ruin your wedding day appearance.
Why Collagen?
Collagen is a major structural protein of the skin that provides firmness and elasticity. Collagen constitutes about 70% of your skin's mass. Starting when you are 18 years old, collagen production decreases by about 1% a year. The degradation of collagen is what leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. You can slow down the aging process by increasing the collagen levels in your body with a collagen supplement. Liquid collagen supplements are easily digested and absorbed in the body, improving the way your skin looks and feels.
A collagen drink is more effective than collagen cream or tablets because it contains hydrolyzed collagen, which has a smaller molecule size. The hydrolysis process reduces collagen molecules from their natural state to a smaller size to achieve maximum bio availability. This ensures that your body is able to efficiently absorb the collagen.
Regular consumption of hydrolyzed collagen has been shown to increase skin elasticity and hydration as well as make your skin smoother. A liquid collagen supplement is an ideal addition to any bride-to-be's beauty regimen because of its youth-promoting effects.
Take Collagen to Look Stunning on Your Wedding Day
All eyes will be on you on your big day but your Mam and guests will also be in the spotlight. Following a strict skincare regime that improves your appearance from the inside out is critical to looking your very best at the wedding.

Shelby Vexler, Fairbanks Ranch Student Participates in Sports, Sings in Choir, and Volunteers
Aspires High
Shelby Vexler's life is on the right track. Shelby shared, "I can get lost anywhere and frequently do. I depend on my teammates to make sure I don't take any wrong turns when we run somewhere new." However, despite her poor sense of direction, in life, Shelby is heading in the right direction.
One of six cross country team captains selected by her head coach, Shelby explained, "My main responsibilities are leading warm-ups and cool down drills and organizing team bonding events." She credits her father for her success. Thanks to him helping her improve her mile time and running stamina during fifth grade, she overcame her hatred of running, which led to her joining cross country and track and field as a seventh grader. Later, as a high school freshman, she joined the varsity women's cross country team, and last spring she was on the CIF All-Academic Team for track and field.
Currently, Shelby attends Canyon Crest Academy and loves it because the students are accepting and driven to succeed academically. Her favorite subject is biology, and she reminisced, "My dad took me to different science museums at Balboa Park." Because Shelby loves discovering how everything evolved and how everything works, evolution, ecology, and genetics are all fascinating subjects for her. In the future, she aspires to attend a UC school, complete graduate school, and pursue a career in biology.
Since the fourth grade, Shelby has been singing with the North Coast Singers. In 2012, she and her choir performed at Carnegie Hall with the La Jolla Chorus and conductor David Chase. She also currently sings in her high school choir.
A believer in contributing to her community, Shelby volunteers at the Helen Woodward Animal Shelter in the cats adoption department. Shelby revealed, "I grew up with a family cat, and since he passed away, I've enjoyed spending my Sunday mornings helping the shelter cats."
An ardent reader herself, Shelby finds J.K. Rowling inspiring, admiring all she achieved as a single mom. Her other hobbies include baking, watching sci-fi and action movies, and running by the lake and along various Fairbanks Ranch neighborhood horse trails.

The creative arts (art as discipline) are a collection of disciplines which produce artworks (art as objects) that are compelled by a personal drive (art as activity) and convey a message, mood, or symbolism for the perceiver to interpret (art as experience). Art is something that stimulates an individual's thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or ideas through the senses. Works of art can be explicitly made for this purpose or interpreted on the basis of images or objects. For some scholars, such as Kant, the sciences and the arts could be distinguished by taking science as representing the domain of knowledge and the arts as representing the domain of the freedom of artistic expression.

External focalization
External focalization occurs when the narrator presents the aspects of the story using solely observable, external information.
- {a fuller definition should go here}
"Mrs. Bagnet is not at all an ill-looking woman. Rather large-boned, a little coarse in the grain, and freckled by the sun and wind which have tanned her hair upon the forehead, but healthy, wholesome, and bright-eyed. A strong, busy, active, honest-faced woman of from forty-five to fifty. Clean, hardy, and so economically dressed (though substantially) that the only article of ornament of which she stands possessed appear's to be her wedding-ring, around which her finger has grown to be so large since it was put on that it will never come off again until it shall mingle with Mrs. Bagnet's dust."

He writes in the font. She writes in this font.
Scene: Saturday night, Downtown Broadway, 9:45pm. It's cold, rainy, and I lack the protection of a coat, which I am using to shield Megan and her camera from the slightly more than misty downpour. Apparently any drops of rain that hit her lense "ruins the shot." I don't know such things.
For the past thirty minutes we have hermit-crab shuffled up and down the street trying to get the perfect shot of the luminous "Portland" sign clinging to the side of the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. Like a single organism, I help navigate my coat-covered better half and her tripod closer, then to the left or right, of the glowing letters that descend elegantly down the building. Ignoring the people, speeding cars and consequent puddle splashes; this is how we spend our weekend nights.
I hear a few "click-clicks" in rapid succession. Then, a little beanie-covered head emerges from under my coat. "I got it baby, thank you!" End Scene.
I can't even imagine what we must have looked like to others, the thought of it definitely puts a smile on my face. Little moments like this also remind me of how lucky I am to have so much love and what a gentleman Guy is. It was alarming at first when he said, "Here, let me put my coat over you." I'm sure my face looked contorted as I said, "but, won't you be wet and cold?!" He simply replied with a "I'll be okay." It wasn't until we were finishing up that he mentioned his fingers were starting to numb.
We were devouring frozen yogurt less than ten minutes later. Yes, I know, cold food in cold weather is counter-intuitive — we had a craving. Sitting at Tart Berry, spooning through our loaded creations of nuts, fruit, and maybe some chocolate-covered gummy bears, I asked Megan what people do here in the winter months.
She paused to think…
Portland's incredible weather this summer spoiled me. I grew accustomed to the very late sunsets, warm days, and all the nearby hiking. Now that it's getting a bit more chilly and the rain is less tolerable, Megan and I need to find new adventures in this great city.
Below is the list we started of fun things to do that offer warmth and moisture-protection. Please send us your suggestions as well! Throughout this winter season we will post about our adventures at the places below and perhaps spotlight some suggested by you.
In the meantime, here are the shots we got from that rainy night on Broadway, with a few from atop OHSU as well. Enjoy!

A classical quartet who appeared on the first series of The X Factor are coming to Skegness.
G4 will be performing at the Embassy Theatre, in Grand Parade at 7.30pm this Saturday, September 1.
The boys will be stopping in Skegness on their G4 Live Concert tour, which began in March this year.
After 15 years, Ben Thapa - an original member of G4 - decided to leave the band.
G4 is now made up of Jonathan Ansell, Mike Christie, Nick Ashby and newest member Lewis Raines.
They will be joined in Skegness by the winner of Chinese version of The X Factor and Downton Abbey songstress, Mary-Jess.
Having recently made their debut in Asia, and after countless UK tours, G4 are delighted to have more tour dates than ever in 2018.
The band brought classical music to British reality television screens when they appeared on The X Factor in 2004.
Their performance of Nessun Dorma wowed audiences, but their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody arguably became their signature tune and stormed the music charts in 2005.
A show spokesman said: "G4 continue to blow people away year after year with their unique style and impactful harmonic vocals, which are incomparable to any other.
"They have to be heard live to truly appreciate the power and passion of their voices."

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The number of Catholics in the world and the number of priests and permanent deacons rose slightly in 2013, while the number of men and women in religious orders declined, according to Vatican statistics.
For the second year in a row, the number of candidates for the priesthood also decreased.
The numbers come from the Statistical Yearbook of the Church, which was completed in February and published in March. The yearbook reported worldwide church figures as of Dec. 31, 2013.
By the end of 2013, the worldwide Catholic population had surpassed 1.253 billion, an increase of about 25 million or 2 percent, modestly outpacing the global population growth rate, which was estimated at 1 percent in 2013.
Catholics as a percentage of the global population was up less than a percentage point at around 17.7 percent.
As it has done in previous years, the latest Vatican statistical yearbook estimated there were about 4.8 million Catholics that were not included in its survey because they were in countries that could not provide an accurate report to the Vatican; for example, China and North Korea.
According to the yearbook, the region where Catholics make up the largest percentage of the general population is in the Americas, where they account for 63.6 percent of the inhabitants, followed by Europe with 39.9 percent. Asia has the lowest proportion, with 3.2 percent.
During the 2013 calendar year, more than 16 million infants and adults were baptized, according to the statistical yearbook, which added that there has been "a general downward trend in the relative number of (infant) baptisms, following closely the trend of the birthrate in most countries." The ratio of children under 7 being baptized to the overall number of Catholics has been going down on every continent since 2008, it said.
It said the number of bishops in the world increased by 40 to 5,173.
The total number of priests — diocesan and religious order — around the world grew from 414,313 to 415,348, with a steady increase in diocesan priests present in Africa, Asia and the Americas, and a continued decline in Europe.
The number of permanent deacons reported — 43,195 — was an increase of more than 1,000 over the previous year.
The number of religious brothers was down slightly from a total of 55,314 at the end of 2012 to a total of 55,253 at the end of 2013.
The number of women in religious orders continued its downward trend. The total of 693,575 temporarily and permanently professed sisters and nuns in 2013 was a 1.2 percent decrease from the previous year and a 6.1 percent decrease since 2008. The biggest decreases in the five-year period were reported in North America, with a decline of 16.6 percent, and Europe, with a decline of 12.6 percent.
The number of candidates for the priesthood — both diocesan seminarians and members of religious orders — who had reached the level of philosophy and theology studies continued a recent downturn.
The number of seminarians dropped 118,251 men at the end of 2013 as compared to 120,051 men at the end of 2012. The number of seminarians had seen small increases each year from 2003 to 2011 when there were 120,616 candidates preparing for priesthood.

The other day I went to the mall and I was wearing this lipstick. In one of the stores the sales lady complimented it (I'm not gonna lie I love it when people compliment my makeup lol) and asked me about it. You should've seen her face when I said it's by Sephora, she looked so surprised because she thought it's from the expensive brands. "It's by Sephora the brand? Seriously?".
Actually this lipstick is an absolute best seller! I've told you before that I used to work in Sephora and believe me we used to sell thousands of these lipstick. It's available in three textures - sheer, matte and semi-matte. I am personally not a huge fan of the sheer and very matte lipsticks, I love lipsticks that feel creamy on the lips with matte finish and of course long-lasting because I don't have all day to fix my makeup lol. This lipstick is all that! The colours are very pretty and you are spoilt from choice. Mine is semi-matte #21, I believe it's raspberry colour.

Today's November non-farm payroll release showed 178,000 jobs added which was in line with expectations. The prior month's reading of 161,000 jobs added was revised down to 142,000. The unemployment rate fell to a nine year low of 4.6% from October's reading of 4.9% and the participation rate dropped a little to 62.7%. Average hourly earnings was an off setting factor to an otherwise expected and rather neutral report as month on month the -0.1% saw a 2.5% year on year number from the 2.8% previous report.
This data release in conjunction with recent Fed commentary makes a December rate rise almost inevitable with the market been pricing in a 100 percent expectation of an increase in rates. What is more challenging to determine is what a Trump Presidency really means for growth and inflation.
Trump's rhetoric has so far suggested four main areas for policy to target: tax reforms targeting reductions in corporate and personal income tax, an infrastructure spending program, deregulation and the renegotiation of existing trading relationships. The balance between the macro measures versus those targeting trade will be important for determining the growth outcome with trade intervention risking a negative hit to growth. At the outset the macro-measures could well be the main focus delivering an uptick to growth; the OECD is now looking for US growth of 2.3 percent in 2017 and 3 percent in 2018. But this has to be balanced against the tightening of monetary conditions that is already taking place in markets.
We expect the Fed will respond by tightening more quickly than previously expected to counter any POTENTIAL inflationary impact and longer term, curves should continue to flatten; if the short term growth impact is offset by tighter monetary policy longer term growth will be weaker. The 10 year treasury yield has already retraced from 1.36% in July to ~2.40% at the time of writing which is a significant amount of tightening in monetary conditions. This is feeding through into higher rates for the consumer: the Bankrate 15 year fixed rate US home mortgage has risen from a yield low of 2.59% on 27 September to 3.2% as of 1 December. An increase in expectations for growth and interest rates has seen the US dollar index strengthen from ~96 at the start of October to ~101 today representing yet another sizeable tightening of monetary conditions: this trend is likely to be exacerbated while the ECB and BoJ remain in easing mode.
The theoretical framework supporting Stratton Street's NFA analysis holds that the performance of bonds and currencies of debtors and creditors varies according to whether the world is experiencing a period of reflationary financial market conditions, where capital flows from creditors to debtors, or whether we are in deleveraging phase with capital flowing in the opposite direction. We expect Trump's policies will speed up the deleveraging process as the Fed is forced to tighten more quickly.
The US dollar is the world's de facto reserve currency, thus enjoys an 'exorbitant privilege' for this role. Thus, despite the US being a net debtor with a NFA profile that has deteriorated since the mid-1980s the relationship with the real effective exchange rate is weak. US monetary policy is a key driver of global capital flows: expansionary US monetary policy post the GFC has supplied the world with ample cheap dollar liquidity but rather than deleveraging and reducing the excesses of this boom period global debt levels have actually risen, a situation made all the worse by insipid global growth. The IMF estimated that global non-financial sector debt in 2015 reached 225 percent of world GDP. As this cycle reverses it is the weaker debtor nations, with large net foreign liabilities, and reliant on issuing foreign debt in US dollars that will come under the most pressure. But as with the 2013 'taper tantrum' volatility could temporarily spread to some issuers with stronger underlying fundamentals.
This means that high grade bonds, particularly from creditor nations, remain our favoured position, at least for now. We currently have an A2 average rating in our pure IG funds, and hope to be able to pick up lower grade credits at much wider spreads at some point.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - When it comes to selecting stocks, Joe Wolf's primary interest lies in a company's potential return on invested capital.
"We're fairly classic value investors and work on a margin of safety," said Wolf, analyst for RS Partners Fund RSPFX, -0.08%. "We only enter a stock if we can buy it at 50 percent of warranted value. We're looking for three-year doubles."
The $139 million small-cap value fund, managed by Andy Pilara, has its largest weightings in health care, consumer discretionary and financial companies. The fund is up an annualized 17.1 percent over three years, vs. a 3.8 percent drop for its peer group and a 14.9 percent annual decline in the S&P 500.
Wolf pointed to three holdings, which the fund added in the last week, as examples of its investing philosophy.
The first is Andrx Corp. ADRX, a leading generic-drug maker whose shares fell to a 52-week low of $7.68 on March 6 from $48.20 last year. Wolf estimates its distribution business is worth "north of $8 a share" and that the companyl has about $100 million in cash, or roughly $1.50 a share. "The distribution and cash equals the current market price, so we think we're getting their entire (drug) pipeline and all current marketed products for free." Andrx rose 2 cents to $9.81 on Friday.
Wolf also likes Gamestop GME, -6.85%, a video-game retailer spun off by Barnes & Noble BKS, +0.00%, which still owns more than 60 percent of it. Gamestop operates 1,230 stores in 49 states, mainly in strip malls, and does a brisk business in used games that provide almost twice the profit margin of new ones, Wolf said. The stock suffered because of weak holiday sales, but the company still has $3 a share in cash, will earn an estimated $1.25 a share this year, and has a return of more than 40% on invested capital, he said.
"There's a certain personality to the stores, that this is where serious gamers will go to trade secrets, so they're insulated from the Wal-Mart threat. They have the best inventory management out there, they're growing square-footage more than 15 percent a year and they just authorized a $50 million stock buyback," said Wolf. Gamestop's shares rose 32 cents to $12.12.
Wolf likes UnitedGlobalCom UCOMA as a "near monopoly" cable company in Europe, 70 percent owned by U.S.-based Liberty Media L, -0.82%. Wolf said it has virtually no satellite-dish competition and limited DSL and voice competition in its primary markets. "They've already completed their infrastructure build-out," he said. The stock is trading around seven times cash flow vs. almost 12 times for its U.S. peers. "If there are bumps, they've got a very strong U.S. parent behind them," he added. Shares of UnitedGlobalCom, which peaked at $110 in 2000, rose 6 cents to $2.58 on Friday.

It's always hard to find feminine costumes that stand out from the parade of fairies and princesses that inundate town every year. (I admit, it's SO FUN to dress up as royalty or mystical creatures....and yes, I have a princess gown, elf costume, and fairy wings hanging in my closet.) I'm a nonconformist at heart....so I don't often want to blend in with all the other same old costume ideas.
Here is a unique face paint pattern that perfect for Halloween. It is a spooky skeletal/butterfly pattern. I did it in a video so you can see how to paint it yourself. Accompany this face with a cute black dress and -VIOLA!- the best costume ever.
Even though I used professional paints, anyone could imitate this pattern with eye shadow for the background colors and a good liquid eyeliner for the black and white lines.
Here is a picture of the final product:
Good luck with your creation!


text: During the past few years, I have been heating the shop with a couple of whimpy space heaters. You know, the kind you might have by your feet next to your favorite reading chair. Needless to say, that style of heater was pretty ineffective in the shop. I would hover next to the one on my bench, trying to thaw my fingers. This weekend, a friend let me borrow a real heater. Whoa. What a difference. This heater runs on diesel fuel and cranks out the warmth. Just a few minutes on and the shop feels terrific. Couple this with the forge running and I can pretty much work in shirt sleeves no matter what the temperature is outside.
