Micronutrient + Hydro Mask by Kristina Holey & Marie Veronique ($135 for 1.7 OZ)
One of my more recent purchases which also serves as an introduction to the line, this mask is a gooey, sticky formulation that is ultra-hydrating (click here for more info). After viewing the brand from afar and assessing which products I was most interested in trying at the present, it was an easy choice to be swayed into purchasing this unique mask. Although it is one of the pricier masks I have bought, I simply didn't want to continue trying out clay-based basks that are focused on detoxifying, as there are already so many great brands out with these types of masks which also happen to work beautifully- I just didn't need another to add in my collection. We are often so absorbed with exfoliating and purifying our skin, that we don't also consider how to heal and revive our skin with hydration and moisture. Keep in mind that when your skin is properly hydrated, it will also look more youthful, plump, radiant, and will be healthy– balance out the types of products you choose. I do feel like there's a shift in green beauty causing brands and consumers alike to hone in on hydration rather than the usual trends of oils and clay masks.
The Micronutrient + Hydro Mask is described by the brand "as a concentration of ingredients that support various processes crucial to the maintenance of skin health and the delay of skin aging. It is like topical supplementation for the skin, and […] profoundly rehydrates skin while improving functionality across a number of parameters—it is basically a skin reset." From the inclusion of a green tea extract that ensures a blend of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits, B vitamins, and squalene to improve barrier function, this mask has been meticulously formulated, with each ingredient serving a purpose. The role of Marie Veronique and Kristina Holey as skin scientists becomes evident when you pay attention to the ingredients they chose, the ratios of the ingredients, and also through the fact that their products do not have a good scent- clearly they are focused on performance and will not include ingredients that are not good enough, whether they smell good or not. As someone who is a lover of the beautiful scents of nature, I appreciate this and am not hindered in the slightest by this- we want non-toxic, safe, performance.
It can be applied in a thick layer and left on for 20-30 minutes for 1-3 times a week, or left on overnight as a deep treatment. I personally will either follow up a clay mask with this product to seal in moisture, or use it on its own as either a temporary or overnight treatment. For the application, as it is gooey and thick, make sure you take some time to massage the product in. To really help it sink in as much as possible, I will spend about a minute or so massaging it in, especially if I want to leave it on throughout the night. As you massage it in, it will start turning thicker and white, and as you continue to press it into your skin, the product will finally start disappearing into your skin, even upon immediate application making your skin look plumper without feeling weighed down. Although the jar seems small, since the formula is in of itself thick, you don't need a whole lot of product to accomplish a proper application over your skin.
The mask is sticky through application and as it dries, and remains as such for the whole duration it's left on. This consistency and texture don't bother me, however, because immediately after I apply it, my skin literally feels like it's taking a drink. You know when you go for a run on a hot day then come back dehydrated and that refreshing drink of water just tastes so good? That's how my skin feels about this mask whenever I apply it on- it literally feels like it's being revived. Removing it is very easy as well; its sticky yet thick and light consistency is not viscous like honey or molasses and melts away immediately without any residue. Masks that are formulated without clay and are focused on hydration are generally the easier masks to remove since they either won't dry up or you also have the option to simply wipe off the excess and leave the remaining film on without washing it off .
On my very first time trying it out, I simply cleansed, toned, then applied this mask and left it on overnight. The following morning, I woke up with no breakouts, and my skin was very nicely plumped. Not to mention it really does seal your skin- I used a drop of Zen Physic by moss skincare on top of it to treat a breakout, and the blue oil was evident on my skin even after I woke up. Using it more than once a week is a must for me, that's how much I love it. This is quickly becoming one of my most used masks to keep my skin in healthy condition; it's an excellent formulation and leaves me wanting to try more from this line. So yes, it is expensive, but also worth the price you pay. My final verdict is that I will most definitely continue to repurchase it.

Doctors Develop and Successfully Grow Lamb in "Biobag" Artificial External Womb
Ron Perillo / 2 years ago
A new development in medical technology has allowed doctors to grow a premature lamb in an external womb called a "Biobag" and it is even more exciting than previous external womb methods for its simplicity and relatively low cost. The fluid-filled bag allows a premature lamb to live up to four weeks before it is ushered in to the outside world. The sealed system has one tube supplying an artificial amniotic fluid while another drains it out which mimics the environment that a mother normally provides.
While the experiment is still in its early stages of animal testing and is still years away from human trials, the results are nonetheless exciting. When developed, the technology could potentially save the lives of up to 90,000 premature babies in the United States and Europe annually. The prognosis is usually grim with survival range from 10 to 50% and even those who survive often suffer brain damage, lung disease or other serious complications.
The Biobag simulated womb is a potentially safer alternative than current methods which often are unfortunately also the cause of some of the premature babies' health complications. Mechanical ventilation for example, saves many lives but it also can damage babies' fragile lungs. What sets the Biobag apart from other mechanical methods as well as other external womb solutions before it is that it cedes control to the process and is not intervention heavy. In the womb, babies are in a unique environment that sustains and maintains itself, so the researchers applied this philosophy in developing the Biobag.

Small World Big Fun Agent Ashley Russell's 22 year-old daughter recently traveled on a Disney Cruise with a friend, here is their recap of the trip!
Sailing on Disney Cruise Line is not just for kids; it's also great for the young at heart! From honeymoons to girls' trips to couples wanting the best cruise experience, Disney Cruise Line has a lot to offer the grownups. Recently, I traveled to the Caribbean on the Disney Dream for a 4-night cruise with one of my friends for a girls' trip.
- Serenity Bay on Castaway Cay. Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, is always a highlight of a Disney cruise. For me, the best part was Serenity Bay, an adults-only beach. It was so quiet and peaceful that I took an hour-long nap! And, whether you just need water for hydration or a fun tropical adult beverage, plenty of bartenders are on hand to take your order while you lay on the beach. Serenity Bay feels like paradise to adult cruisers. Lunch is provided for everyone on the island, including in Serenity Bay, so you can still avoid the kiddos. The food was absolutely delicious!
- Alcohol Tasting. As a newbie to the drinking scene (I'm 22), I love to try new alcohol and learn how it's made. One
of my favorite activities on the cruise was an alcohol tasting. My friend and I decided to buy tickets for the tequila tasting since she loves margaritas and I don't usually drink tequila. This class consisted of approximately 12 other people and a wonderful bartender who taught us everything about the making of tequila and the best way to drink it. After tasting different varieties of tequila, we even got to make our own margaritas! It was definitely BIG FUN! If you're not a fan of tequila, you can choose wine, liquor and chocolate, bourbon, champagne, just to name a few. I will definitely be trying the champagne and wine classes on my next cruise!
- Rotating Dinner. If you are traveling with adults only, I definitely suggest the late seating for dinner. Fewer children are around and you can spend more time eating since the staff isn't rushing to prepare for the next seating. Smaller parties are typically seated with other smaller parties at dinner which is fun because you get to meet new people from around the world! Going into our first dinner, I thought we may be seated with a small family since there seemed to be so many families on our ship. However, Disney Cruise Line puts adult-only groups together. My friend and I were seated with two couples from different parts of the country. I loved making friends and enjoying dinner with other adults on the cruise. I also enjoyed the way you rotate dining rooms but keep the same waitstaff. It was like eating in a different restaurant each night.
The District. For adults who want a bar scene on the ship, go straight to the District on the Disney Dream. With four differently themed bars, you'll definitely find something you'll like. The bars are all close together and it is easy to travel to and from each one. My favorite was the Pink: Wine and Champagne Bar. The atmosphere is so chic with beautiful piano and harp music. This was a great place to come to grab a drink after the show and before dinner. My favorite drink at Pink was the Icy Pop, where a flavored popsicle was placed in a glass of champagne… Delicious!
- Palo Brunch. One of my favorite meals on the Disney Dream was brunch at Palo, one of the two adults-only restaurants (the other is Remy). If there is one expense you should add to your Disney Cruise, it is a meal here! Make sure to come hungry, because the brunch is an all-you-can-eat experience. Walking into the restaurant, I felt transported to Venice, Italy with the décor, atmosphere, and Venetian-inspired cuisine. We were seated at a table overlooking the ocean, making for a beautiful view to enjoy during our meal. Our server brought us complimentary mimosas before escorting us to the buffet of antipasti and pastries. The selection of food here was enormous! Everything looked absolutely delicious, so of
course, I grabbed one of everything. Thankfully, the serving sizes were small, so I didn't feel too guilty. However, be sure not to load up on the buffet items because once seated with your plates of food, your server presents you with a menu to pick an entrée! The best part? You can order multiple entrees at no extra cost (personally, a recipe for disaster). I ordered parmesan crusted chicken and it was amazing! After stuffing my face with appetizers and entrees, it was time for dessert. Our server escorted us to the dessert buffet, which was filled with various tempting treats, including Italian favorites such as tiramisu and cannoli. The servings were small, but you could definitely fill your plate enough to feed you for the entire week. Overall, my experience at the Palo brunch was absolutely incredible, and I highly recommend all adults make a reservation on their trip.
- A Safe Place to Wear Your Ears. Disney Cruise Line is the perfect vacation for the kid at heart. Even with all the adult-only areas and experiences offered, I still enjoyed walking around the ship with my ears on and going to the character meet and greets. There's something about watching Mickey and Friends dance on deck with a drink in your hand and ears on your head.
Bottom line, I highly recommend a Disney cruise for your next vacation, with or without children!

Vanilla Cinnamon Toast
Toast. So simple, so buttery delicious. It would have never occurred to me to whip up this Vanilla Cinnamon Toast for breakfast this weekend if it weren't for my awesome husband who made the suggestion.
Here's an easy, excellent breakfast staple that we both hope you enjoy. Buttery, cinnamony, crunchy goodness dipped in tea or topped with whipped cream. Guess which of us did which with our toast...
- 4 slices of bread (we used Udi's Gluten-Free)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Directions (for the oven)
- Combine the butter, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a small bowl or ramekin.
- If using the oven, lay your bread slices out on a cookie sheet and set your broiler to low.
- Use a pastry brush to coat the tops of your bread slices with the vanilla cinnamon mixture.
- Place the cookie sheet beneath the broiler and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. (You can obviously do this in the toaster too, but it's easy to make larger amounts in the oven this way).

Is it permissible for a Muslim female to visit a male doctor, in case of no improvement in the disease/condition in seeing the female doctors available? Would it be permissible to remove the hijab in such a case so that the doctor can examine the case? The disease may not be life-threatening but perhaps a skin condition which needs medical care.
Zaynab El-Kateb:
The Scholars say that this issue is according to the following order, meaning if the first option is not available then she goes to the next option:
- A Muslim female doctor
- A non Muslim female doctor (but she is trusted)
- A Muslim male doctor
- A non Muslim male doctor if there is a necessity and no other option is available.
Yes, if there is no female doctor then it is permissible for her to go to a male doctor and to remove the hijab for examination, even if it is not life threatening.
There is a rule:
الضرورات تبيح المحظورات
Pressing necessities make permissible that which is (normally) prohibited.
The Scholars derived this rule from numerous proofs from the Quran and the Sunnah.

You lied! I'm eating pig's ears! Why are Spanish people so in love with pig's? lol
By Elaine | July 11, 2011
After our yummy Tapas, Sergio and I made our way to a restaurant where we sat down. He ordered for us Spanish Ham Croquettes ( Croquetas de Jamón) and something else that he said was torro which means bull in Spanish. Interesting, so I tried being I was in Spain. Yuk! It was crispy, and crunchy and just yuk! I couldn't eat it, so I looked at the menu when I discovered there was no torro on the menu but there was "Orejas de Cerdo, which means pig's ears!!!!! You lied to me Sergio! I'm eating fried pig's ears!! WTF! lol…… He explained if he told me what they were, I wouldn't have eaten it! Well, no kidding! LOL…….. Why is this country so in love with pigs?? I mean as a little girl, I was too. I loved Charlotte's Webb, and even have a Piggie Swarovski crystal, but I liked them as cute animals. I don't need to eat their ears!
So, I ordered a Totilla de Patata instead which is an egg omellete with potatoes. Now, that's more like it! Gracias Sergio! That was an authentic eating travelling experience alright! I'm full, nada mas!

Class Claims Verizon Changed the Deal
SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – Verizon Wireless sells Get It Now "Unlimited" games by promising customers they can play "whenever and however long a customer wishes to play … for a one-time fee," but doesn't warn that the deal applies only to their original handset, a class action claims in Federal Court.
The complaint states: "Defendants induce consumers to purchase the Get It Now games using the 'Unlimited' option by expressly representing on its Web site that the 'Unlimited' option provides access for whenever and however long a customer wishes to play a game for a one-time fee.
"Defendant's Web site expressly represents that the 'Subscription' option is completely different from the 'Unlimited' option in that a 'Subscription' option provides access to a game for a limited period of time with billing reoccurring on a daily, monthly, or annual basis, depending on the game, and disclaims that use of the 'Subscription' option only applies to the original handset to which the game is downloaded.
"Defendant's Web site, Customer Agreement, Welcome guide, and handset onto which the game is downloaded do not contain disclaimers stating that if a customer purchases 'Unlimited' option Get It Now games, that the use of the games only applies to the original handset on which the games are downloaded. …
"Upon information and belief, 'Unlimited' option Get It Now games remain available for purchase, are still advertised as having one-time fees, and contain no disclaimer that 'Unlimited' option Get It Now games apply only to the original handset on which the games are downloaded."
Plaintiffs' lead counsel is Amelia Winchester with Moulton & Meyer of Houston.

All of the pediatricians here agree that the flu shot is very important and worth getting. Influenza can be a severe infection, especially in young children, those with asthma or other medical conditions. It is not just a cold – it is much worse, and can lead to hospitalization and severe complications. Each year, children in the United States and abroad die from influenza infections, so even if the shot is not always effective, it is worth attempting to decrease the risk of this potentially dangerous disease.
The flu shot is safe and can't cause the flu. It is completely inactive, and can't make someone sick. It can cause fever or localized muscle pain that night, but it has nothing to do with colds or getting sick weeks or months later. It is specifically trying to prevent the influenza strains, but can't lead to more or less "colds" from other cold viruses. It is not 100% effective, but helps to prevent or lessen the effect of the flu in most cases.
The nasal flu spray is not an option this year, unfortunately, as studies showed it was not be effective for the current circulating strains. We won't have any at all this year.
Flu shot is safe and effective starting at 6 months old.
We recommend that all adults caring for a baby (family, nannies etc) get their flu vaccines.
We give flu shots from September until May, but the earlier in the season, the better.
If your check-up/physical exam is up to date, you can just call to schedule a shot-only visit with us.
The first time you get a flu shot, you need a booster a month later, but then every future season, you only need one. You need a new flu shot each winter!
Getting any shot or giving any medicine is not an easy decision. But after seeing the effects of influenza on young children for over 21 years, I have learned to respect and fear the flu! My daughters get it each year, and I think yours should as well!

Are you headed to Hamburg but don't know where to eat and drink?*
Well, look no further! I've compiled a list of 5 awesome places which offer more than just the typical Hamburg Fischbrötchen (fish in a bun - sounds weird but tastes great!).
Reading on an RSS reader? Click through to the original article to read it properly!
*Snow in Tromso was kindly hosted by Hamburg Marketing on this trip. All opinions, however, remain my own.
1. Bullerei
Bullerei is the restaurant of Germany's Jamie Oliver (I sure hope he doesn't mind me saying that, lol): Tim Mälzer! He opened the place in 2009 in the building of a former slaughterhouse, right next to the tram/metro station at Sternschanze.
The restaurant itself is only open in the evenings (from 6 pm on weekdays and 5 pm on Sundays), but you can enjoy lunch at the smaller deli in front of the restaurant. Unfortunately, you can't book a table for lunch, so expect to queue up or come early!
The food at Bullerei is nothing but fresh and delicious. Because of the restaurant's location in a former slaughterhouse, it's certainly very meat-heavy, but there are enough options for vegetarians and vegans as well, and the fish I had on my visit was definitely yummy!
Pro tip: Don't forget to taste the homemade lemonade and the tiramisu - it's divine!
How to get there: S1, S3, S11, S21, S31 or U3 to Sternschanze
Head here for more info and reservations (in German)
2. Harbor Cake
We stumbled upon Harbor Cake thanks to our local guide Tomas. In fact, he insisted on leading us away from the popular Sternschanze district and into the lesser-known but equally hip Karolinenviertel district, just to check out Harbor Cake!
Needless to say, it didn't disappoint!
The owners of the place are German/Austrian so apart from delicious and very savoury cakes (we shared a slice between 3 people and had trouble finishing it!), they also serve Austrian cuisine in form of dumplings, pancakes and egg noodles.
It was quite crowded on a Wednesday afternoon, which always is a sure-fire sign that the food is amazing. The atmosphere didn't disappoint either - the place is full of maritime memorabilia which fits Hamburg perfectly!
How to get there: U3 to Feldstrasse
3. Karlsons Neustadt
Karlsons is all about Scandinavian cuisine and hygge! There are two restaurants of them in Hamburg - one in Neustadt and one in Grindel. I can't say anything about the latter, but I've been to Karlsons Neustadt and had a whale of a time!
Granted, the place was super crowded by local business people at lunchtime (so definitely head there right when they open the lunch kitchen at noon to secure a table), but then again, that just shows what a great restaurant it is.
There are Scandi pictures all over the walls and you even get little Swedish dala horses with your table number when you order food, which is absolutely adorable!
Food-wise, they offer all kinds of fresh and organic food with a Scandi touch - from classic Swedish meatballs to salmon, Danish hot dogs, rice pudding and blueberry desserts.
To cater my freshly diagnosed fructose intolerance, I had the baked potato with salad and chicken (yummy though!), while Simon had the meatballs and chocolate cake, which he was absolutely satisfied with.
There are quite a few veggie and also the odd vegan option available, so I'm sure you'll find something on the menu. Karlsons also serves breakfast, so I'll be back for that!
How to get there: U3 to Rödingsmarkt or S1, S2 or S3 to Stadthausbrücke
Find more information and their menu here (in German)
4. Mexico Strasse
Mexico Strasse is determined to serve authentic Mexican cuisine in Hamburg and I think they're doing a really good job! Situated close to famous Reeperbahn in Hamburg's St. Pauli district, Mexico Strasse offers tortas, tacos and guacamole for lunch and dinner, and the place was packed when we visited - at 6 pm on a Thursday!
They recommend you to order at least 3 tacos, but I could have easily eaten 4 or 5. I tried the garlic chicken with lime and the garlic cauliflower, while Simon had the crispy chicken and the beef taco if I remember correctly.
Either way, we were happy with the food and the staff was super friendly as well (despite the crowds) and happy to cater my picky eating habits, lol! They even have plenty (!) of vegan options and (for all the fructose people among you) sugar-free Fritz Kola coke.
Unfortunately, Mexico Strasse doesn't take any reservations so head there early!
How to get there: U3 to St. Pauli
See more information and the menu here (in German)
5. The Chug Club
The Chug Club is all about tequila cocktails, served in tiny 0,1l glasses, so that you can try everything you fancy before settling for a big cocktail. OR - you can try their chug menu, which entails trying 5 surprise mini cocktails, together with an in-between-beer.
I absolutely love the idea of cocktail tasting and could have totally chugged a litre of their tasty buttermilk-margarita, hadn't it been for my stupid fructose issue... Nonetheless, I had a blast and will totally revisit the bar the next time I'm in Hamburg.
You can find it just off Reeperbahn in St. Pauli and they open at 6 pm.
How to get there: U3 to St. Paul

Daniel Robbins
Assistant Professor
|Academic History:
|Research Areas:
|Current Research:
|My field of research is high-energy theoretical physics. I study the structures that arise in quantum field theory, especially conformal field theory, and in string theory. The goal which drives much of my research program is to understand the "space of consistent theories". Many questions stem from this goal: Given some way of describing a class of theories, how can we determine which examples are self-consistent? What are the relationships between different classes of theories? What can these quantum consistency conditions tell us about the laws which govern our universe? String theory, besides being the most promising candidate for a consistent quantum theory of gravity, is also a rich source of quantum field theory constructions relevant to the questions above. My research investigates these ideas and looks for connections among them and to other areas of physics and mathematics.

In one-on-one conversations, four General Authorities told me about their youthful aspirations and disappointments, mainly in the field of athletics, and how life eventually put things in perspective. Here are their accounts.
Elder David B. Haight
Elder Haight told me that while he was growing up in the small town of Oakley, Idaho, he thought the great moment in his life would be to become a professional baseball player.
"I would dream of playing for the New York Yankees," said Elder Haight of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. "We would be in the World Series. The games would be 3 and 3. Now the seventh game — the deciding game — the ninth inning, score tied. And guess who would get up to bat?
"I would knock the ball out of Yankee Stadium; it would become lost in the parking lot. I would be the hero of the World Series."
As years passed, his interests shifted from baseball to family and the gospel. His visualization of what makes a "great moment" also changed.
"One day I sat in a little white room in the Los Angeles Temple. My wife was there by my side," said Elder Haight, then 79 years old. "We had one son and his wife there, along with our daughter and her husband. Our other son was kneeling at the altar holding the hand of the young lady he was about to marry.
"As I looked around the room, I thought, 'David, you had your priorities out of order. Some athletic achievement or being the hero of some worldly event isn't the great moment of life.' I knew then the great moment of my life was there because all I had that was really important was in that room" (Church News, Nov. 24, 1985).
Elder J. Richard Clarke
Elder Clarke had served eight and a half years in the Presiding Bishopric when he was called as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy in 1985. He coached his ward's Young Men softball team even after he was called as a General Authority. Often, he went to the office early and juggled a busy schedule to be at games. Perhaps one reason he was willing to go the extra mile on the softball field with a group of boys was his memory of a coach who had helped him set the course of his life.
As a young man in Rexburg, Idaho, he aspired to be a basketball player. "I reached an athletic crisis in my sophomore year of high school," Elder Clarke said. "My coach told me I would never be a basketball player, that I was too slow. I had such a low self-image.
"Then another coach, Brick Parkinson, came in. He taught us the fundamentals. I don't think we had a scrimmage as a team until the Wednesday before the first game of the season, which was on a Friday night. He spent all the time on fundamentals, teaching us how to pass, shoot, pivot. We wondered if we would ever get to play. But we did, and we won the game. We won the district championship my last two years in school."
He went on to play college basketball. Elder Clarke said that when he was in high school, he thought he was just learning to play the game. But as he grew older he realized he was learning how to succeed, not only on the court but in life also.
"That coach taught me if you're willing to pay the heavy price of discipline and hard work, and if you take time to learn the fundamentals, you will succeed."
Elder Robert D. Hales
Previously a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy, Elder Hales was sustained as the Presiding Bishop of the Church during the April 1985 general conference. I interviewed him a few weeks later to talk about his new calling. He later served in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
One of our topics of conversation was his love of athletics. As a young man growing up in Great Neck, New York, he played baseball and basketball with friends on high school teams, and as a young adult he played some semi-professional baseball in industrial leagues. His greatest hurt and disappointment as a youth, he said, was that he could not become a professional player.
"The great people who help us in life are the ones who are the most honest," he said. "I wanted to pitch for the New York Yankees. Anything less than that wouldn't do. On one occasion, after the scouts had looked at me, my coach, Art Smith, who pitched for the Chicago White Sox, said, 'You can go on and do very well in the minor leagues, but you'll never be a first-rate major league pitcher because you aren't strong enough and you're not fast enough.' "
Elder Hales went to the University of Utah, thinking about what his coach had said while he played on the university's baseball team. "I hurt my arm during spring training in Arizona, and I never recovered," Elder Hales said, hastily adding he did not want to give the impression that his injured arm was an excuse for not making it into the majors.
"My coach was right. I wasn't good enough. … You have to have a balance of your physical skills, mental ability and strength. You have to realize that very few will make it at what will be a world-class level in any professional endeavor. That's tough to tell a young man who has his heart set on a career as a professional athlete or corporate president, but failure or disappointment will come in life, and we have to learn how to overcome it" (Church News, June 30, 1985).
Elder Neal A. Maxwell
Elder Maxwell had served as an Assistant to the Twelve and in the Presidency of the Seventy before he was called to serve in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1981 at the age of 55.
By the time of his death, at age 78, on July 21, 2004, he had written 35 books.
He began writing during junior high and high school as a balm for the hurts and disappointments of adolescence. "I was short, had acne and raised pigs," Elder Maxwell told me during an interview in 1985.
"My goal was to play on an all-state basketball team in high school, but I was cut from the squad well before varsity days. That was my first experience with failure."
He told me how he handled that disappointment: "I went home and fed the pigs. Life, in those years, was a close-run thing economically. … We lived on a semi-farm in the Mill Creek area of Salt Lake County. I worked two or three nights a week at a brickyard. While I might have felt sorry for myself, work was a good part of my life, and it was a blessing to me.
"At that time, the world of words opened to me. I began poking around at trying to write. That was an interesting time for me to get a chance to develop a little more empathy." (Church News, Jan. 19, 1986).

The new version of Google Allo is finally available by downloading APK directly from APKMirror (download link). In addition, in addition to yesterday's anticipated updates by Google's engineer, there were a number of new notifications settings.
Google Allo will be the protagonist of a new and important software upgrade from the next few hours.
This, at least, is stated by Amit Fulay, Google's engineer at the helm of the project Allo who, through his official Twitter profile, announced his arrival by anticipating some of the novelties included.
According to Amit's statement, the new update will introduce:
- Chat Backup & Restore Integrated directly into app settings.
- Private (incognito) mode for groups where you can set an automatically erase timer.
- Preview the links posted in the chat.
Unfortunately, for the time being, there is not much information about these new implementations that will arrive in the next few hours at their stores and hopefully could help improve the spread of Mountain View's app in Europe.
New features in #GoogleAllo rolling out today! Chat backup/restore, incognito mode for groups and link preview pic.twitter.com/v7uc3unGkG

"These songs are snapshots of an American life culled from experience with what we feel are universal messages," says The Get Ahead co-leader, singer-songwriter, guitarist Nathan Earle.
The Americana soul quintet's latest EP, Mind Is A Mountain (Jullian Records), is a watershed artistic entry born from tragedy, profound relationship shifts, frustrating band lineup reshuffles, and a highly transformative experience working with Grammy Award-winning producer, Son Little (The Roots, RJD2, and Mavis Staples).
The quintet mines an amalgam of classic rock, swampy blues, vintage soul, R&B, country, and gospel, and count as inspiration artists as diverse as Sam Cooke, The Coasters, King Khan, Bill Withers, Ike & Tina, X, Wanda Jackson, Freddy King, and Otis Redding.
The latest edition of The Get Ahead showcases the five piece evolving from retro-soul evangelists to a more mature and distinct identity where soul is implied by simmering grooves, yearning vocals, and purposeful lyrics. The Get Ahead is Nathan Earle, vocals, guitar, Juliet Howard, vocals, Sean Farrell, bass, Angie Johnson sax, violin, and backing vocals, and Danny Johnson drums.
The creative core of The Get Ahead—Nathan and Juliet—met when both were at artistic crossroads. At the time, Nathan was rediscovering music after a stinging band implosion in the wake of industry interest and Juliet was singing in a country band, but longing to step out and explore her creativity. Together with their buddy Sean Farrell on bass—a punk rock bassist moonlighting in a country band—a local drummer, and a baritone sax player they recorded an EP in a spell of fevered creativity.
The Get Ahead next issued a debut album, and, upon its release, the band's drummer left. Unbeknown at the time, that moment cued a new era for the band as drummer Danny Johnson entered the fray also bringing in ace multi-instrumentalist. Angie Johnson.
Mind Is A Mountain is the product of the fresh palette of artistic possibilities offered by the new lineup, and it's also a product of personal upheaval. Just prior to recording, a tragic accident landed Nathan's brother in the hospital, and he was unable to speak or walk. The album's title and title track is a tribute to his powerful recovery.
Mind Is A Mountain is a smoldering cauldron of impassioned golden oldie yearning, brawny delta blues, soaring 1960s girl group anthemics, and modern vintage Motown. The EP opens with the impassioned "Stella" which cries out for an unattainable love interest. Here, Nathan's voice is raw with honeyed soulful edges as it pleads for Stella in a musical setting that conjures ill-fated 1950s balladry and mid-1970s Bob Dylan despondency. The EP's title track feels like a spiritual wafting off the Mississippi Delta River with Nathan's lead vocals poignantly girded by Juliet's gospel-tinged harmonies. Together, their intertwined voices lead a charge of healing intended for Nathan's brother.
Another arousing track is Juliet's lead turn, "To The Wild," which melds rollicking vamp-blues with a stirring chorus for a revelatory primal emotiveness. "The song is a call to arms for women to tap into their wild women strength," Juliet shares. The EP concludes with the slow-burn Motown track, "Love Crime."
On the heels of the release of The Get Ahead's epiphanic new music, Nathan and Juliet contemplate their hopes for its reception. Juliet says: "We want to connect with people and to reflect the raw emotion of human experience." Nathan adds: "And we hope our writing helps people process things in their life so they can move ahead."
