|Bella Wright, via Wikipedia
The tiny English villages of Stoughton and Gaulby could have passed for the towns featured in "Midsomer Murders": Quiet, green, cozy, quintessentially British. And like Badger's Drift, Fletcher's Cross, Midsomer Magna, or those other locations in that peculiarly blood-drenched fictional county, these real-life towns once spawned their very own bizarre, utterly baffling death.
And unfortunately, there was no Chief Inspector Barnaby or Sergeant Troy to tell us at the end who killed Bella Wright.
Wright, a native of Stoughton, was twenty-one years old at the time of her death. She came from a poor family, and had had to work ever since she left school at the age of 12. She had a number of suitors--at least one of whom was fairly serious--and, from all we know of her, was an attractive, intelligent, self-sufficient young woman.
On July 5, 1919, she had a day off from her job at a rubber factory. She spent what would prove to be the last day of her life sleeping in and writing some letters. After bringing the letters to the post office, she returned home, and, at about 6:30 pm, set off again on her bike in order to visit her uncle in the nearby village of Gaulby. When she arrived, the uncle, George Measures, was with his son-in-law, James Evans. They saw that another cyclist, a young man, was accompanying her. When Wright came in, she commented casually that the man was "a perfect stranger," adding that he would probably be gone by the time she was ready to leave.
However, when she emerged from her uncle's cottage about an hour later, the man was still there. Measures and Evans heard him say, "Bella, you have been a long time. I thought you had gone the other way." Wright gave no sign of being concerned or displeased by the stranger's continued presence. The man chatted casually with Evans for a few minutes, and he then bicycled off with Wright.
Some forty minutes later, a farmer named Cowell was herding cattle along a small, secluded road about two miles away from Measures' home. He and his cows stumbled upon an appalling sight: The body of Bella Wright. Her head was bloody, and her bicycle lay sprawled on the ground. Her body was still warm, indicating that she had died only a short time earlier.
Cowell assumed she had died from an accidental fall. He placed the corpse on the side of the road, and sent for help. When a constable and a doctor arrived, they also assumed that they were dealing with nothing more than a tragic mishap. Although the road was lined with high hedges, there was a gate near the death scene, which led into an open meadow. This fact was given no significance at the time.
The next morning, the constable examined the spot where Wright died, and realized that her death was no accident: A .45 caliber bullet marked the spot where her bloody head had lain. A closer examination of the corpse revealed a bullet had passed through her head.
The policeman made another discovery that has sent crime historians into fits of confusion ever since: The nearby gate was marked with bloody claw tracks. There were also no less than twelve sets of blood-marked tracks leading back and forth from the site where Wright's body was found to the gate. A large black bird--it was never decided if it was a raven, a rook, or a carrion crow--was found in the nearby meadow, dead. The bird's stomach was full of blood, leading to the highly gruesome assumption that it had gorged itself on Wright's blood before dropping dead from overeating.
Measures and Evans gave police a detailed description of Wright's mysterious new friend, who was now the prime suspect in her murder. He was about in his mid-thirties, of medium height, and with greying hair and a high-pitched voice. The men also recalled that he rode a distinctive green bicycle.
Investigators hounded every green-bicycle-riding man in the county, but they were all able to prove that on the fatal night, they were nowhere near the scene of the crime. After six months of effort, Scotland Yard still had no idea who had killed Bella Wright, or why. The young woman's murder seemed fated to drift into the category of unsolved mysteries.
Then, in February 1920, it looked as if the case would finally be solved by a canal boat. It was passing down a river--bringing, ironically enough, coal to the factory where Bella Wright had been employed--when the towrope caught on something. A boatman saw that the "something" was a green bicycle. Fortunately, the boatman remembered the Wright mystery, causing him to drag the canal and haul the object up. When police came in to search the canal, they also found a revolver holster with some cartridges inside. Some of these cartridges resembled the bullet found near the murdered girl's body. The icy-cold Wright case was suddenly heating up very nicely.
The number plate and any other identifying marks had been sanded away from the bicycle. However, police found that whoever disposed of the machine had overlooked one small spot that gave the serial number. Through this number, they were able to determine that the bicycle had been sold to a Ronald Vivian Light.
When the police tracked Light down, they found a quiet, nondescript mathematics teacher in Cheltenham. He had been teaching at the school for only one month. His service in World War I had left him shell-shocked and somewhat deaf, which led to him being discharged in 1919, after which he went to live with his mother in Leicester. His teaching position was the first job since leaving the army.
|Ronald Light
When informed that his green bicycle had been found at the bottom of a canal, Light reacted in the stupidest way imaginable: He lied, fibbed, babbled, obfuscated, and generally radiated panic. According to Light, he had never owned a green bicycle. He had never been near Gaulby. And, most importantly, he had never once so much as laid eyes on Bella Wright.
The police countered Light's taradiddles by introducing him to Measures and Evans, who immediately identified him as the man they had seen with Bella just before her death. Two adolescent girls, Muriel Nunney and Valeria Caven, stated they had been bicycling in the general area of Wright's murder several hours before her death. They claimed to recognize Light as the man who had menacingly followed them around for a time, badly frightening them. And, of course there was the evidence of the bicycle and the cartridges. Light was quickly put under arrest.
At his trial, the prosecution case looked utterly damning, with the added cherry on the top of Light concealing evidence and then lying about it. How could the math teacher possibly escape the gallows?
There was one way: Light's lawyer, Sir Edward Marshall Hall. Hall was the Perry Mason of his day, a brilliant defense attorney gifted with an ability to present his case with great charm, oratorical skills, and histrionic ability. He was renowned for being able to talk rings around the most cast-iron prosecution cases and hypnotize juries into believing virtually anything. He was, in short, a very guilty-looking defendant's best friend.
Hall blandly informed the court that he was not denying that the bicycle was Light's. His client had also been riding with Wright on the night of her death. He had indeed been the man seen by Measures and Evans. There was, he explained with his usual imperturbable suavity, an explanation for everything.
In contrast to his previously shifty behavior, Light made an excellent appearance on the stand, appearing dignified and truthful. He stated that on the evening Wright died, he left home for a bicycle ride. He never saw the two girls, Muriel Nunney and Valeria Caven. As he was riding, he saw a girl standing at the side of the road examining her bicycle, and he stopped to offer assistance. He determined that her front wheel was merely somewhat wobbly. They rode off together, chatting amicably. The young woman told him that she was going to visit friends in Gaulby, but that would not take long. Light said he took that as an invitation for him to wait for her.
Light said that after Wright entered her uncle's cottage, he waited around for about ten minutes. When she failed to reappear, he decided to go back home, but noticed that one of his tires had gone flat. By the time he repaired his machine, he saw Wright was emerging from the cottage. He testified that he never addressed her as "Bella": He merely said, "Hello, you've been a long time."
They rode together for about ten minutes, until he had more trouble with his tire and had to stop and walk his bicycle the rest of the way home. The girl went on her way alone, and that was the last he saw of her. A couple of days later, he read in the paper of Wright's death. He realized she was the girl he had met bicycling, and that he himself was the suspect wanted for questioning. Light admitted that the thought of being mixed up in a murder investigation caused him to lose his head and behave very foolishly. He broke up his bicycle and threw it into the canal, along with his old revolver holster from the war. "I didn't make up my mind deliberately not to come forward," he explained sheepishly. "I was astounded and frightened at this unexpected thing. I kept on hesitating and, in the end, I drifted into doing nothing at all."
Light told this story convincingly, and stuck to it during five hours of brutal cross-examination. When Hall questioned the two girls, Muriel and Valeria, he did such an expert job of shredding their credibility, suggesting that they had made up their story out of a desire for publicity, that by the end of the trial the judge advised the jury to disregard their testimony altogether. Hall also seriously damaged the assumption that the bullet found on the road was necessarily the one that had killed Bella Wright. He argued that the bullet found was so heavy, that if it had been used to shoot the victim, the exit wound would have utterly destroyed the back of her skull, particularly if it had been fired at close range. He suggested that she was killed accidentally, by someone hunting in the nearby field. And as for the bullet being the same caliber as the ones in Light's holster, so what? One could find millions of similar bullets all over England. Hall pointed out that absolutely no motive had been presented for Light to shoot Miss Wright. The two were strangers. There was no evidence of a quarrel, and the victim had not been sexually assaulted.
Hall also, as was his wont, went heavy on the melodrama. He emotionally reminded the jury of Light's war record, and how he had been shell-shocked due to his service to his country. The lawyer suggested that this earlier trauma had been responsible for Light's strange and suspicious behavior after Wright's murder. Hall pointed out that Light was the sole financial and emotional support for his widowed mother. What a cruel injustice it would be to put this poor, troubled, hard-working man in prison for a crime he so clearly did not commit.
By the time Hall finished speaking, the courtroom was left thinking the great victim in this case was the defendant, not Bella Wright.
After all the evidence had been presented, the jury deliberated for three hours before agreeing on a verdict of "Not guilty." Edward Marshall Hall had done it again.
After his acquittal, Light changed his name until the publicity died down, and in 1934, married a widow with three children. He lived an unremarkable existence until his death in 1975.
Of course, an acquittal is not always proof of innocence. Many students of this case still believe Ronald Light was Bella Wright's murderer. Many sinister things about the ostensibly respectable war veteran were unknown to his jury. When he was 17, he was expelled from school for "lifting a little girl's clothes over her head." As an adult, he tried to rape a 15-year-old girl, and admitted to "improper conduct" with a child of eight. One has to wonder if young Muriel Nunney and Valeria Caven were as fanciful as Edward Marshall Hall claimed.
In 1914, Light was fired from his job at a railway. He was suspected of setting fire to a cupboard and drawing sexually explicit graffiti in a bathroom. He lost a later job at a farm because he was believed to have set fire to some haystacks. While he was in the army, his father committed suicide, reportedly at least partly out of despair over his peculiar son.
On the other hand, it could be argued that even if Light was a pervert and a pyromaniac, that did not necessarily also make him the killer of Bella Wright. It is possible that his underhanded behavior after her death--hiding his bicycle, lying to the authorities--was simply out of fear that his sleazy past would become known and he would lose his teaching job.
But if he did not shoot the young woman, who did? And, no matter who killed her, what was the motive? Wright's death, in the words of one crime historian, retains "considerable claims to be regarded as the most fascinating murder mystery of the century."
And that's not counting the even weirder mystery of what killed that damn bird.

When it comes to choosing your tech, you may feel as if you know what you want. But do you really? Do you know exactly what you should be using, what's best for your business, which pieces will suit you personally? It's easy to look at the latest launches and decide that, yes, that's exactly what you need. But how much of that is marketing, and how much is really you knowing what you want? If you're not starting to question yourself, and feel unsure of what is really the best tech solution for your needs, then you've come to the right place. Because we're going to talk through the top tips on how to decide what's right for you.
Know What You Need
First of all, you're going to know exactly what you need. This may sound easy, but it can often be the hardest part of all. Forget about the key pieces of tech on the market. And forget about what you can get from the pieces you already use. You need to be thinking about exactly what you need. Get out a piece of paper and write down the things you need from a cell phone, or the business activities and process you need to do. With this activity, you should start to figure out what pieces of tech you need to get everything done.
Work Out The Brands You Like
Next, you're going to want to think about branding. Because every brand of tech has their own thing going on. Maybe you're a diehard Apple fan, and you're only ever going to be interested in the iPhone and other 'i' products? Well, have you tried any of the other major tech brands? If not, maybe you need to look into your alternative options and really discover the best brand for your needs.
Consider The Cost
Another key consideration you should look to make is cost. Because it's going to be essential that you're able to afford whatever it is that you're looking to get. Some brands and pieces of tech are always going to cost more than others. So you should think about comparing the cost of the options you have, and shop around to find the best deals too.
Get A Personal Recommendation
Get A Personal Recommendation
At this point, you may find that you're just really unsure of what you want to go with? Then you could benefit from getting an expert opinion. Whether you use a tool like the laptop finder or head into a tech store and speak to the sales experts on what they think is best for you, you should be able to get a personal recommendation. This can often make it easier to make your decision.
Give it A Go
But before you do make that decision, be sure to give everything a try. You need to make sure that you're 100% happy with the tech you choose. So go into stores, even if you're planning on buying online, and play around with the pieces to make sure that they're definitely what you want.

I received a suspicious email about making a payment. How do I know if it is legitimate?
It's important to be mindful that cyber criminals from around the world are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their attempts to steal personal information from unsuspecting customers. One way criminals may try to trick you into revealing personal account information is through phishing scams, where they impersonate Flywire or the institution you are paying in order to intercept funds. Scammers may send you fake payment instructions via email, text, or social media. You may even be directed to a spoof website that imitates Flywire's and is designed to trick you into sending the scammers your payment. Phishing and spoofing attempts can be sophisticated, but they can also be easily detected. Here's what to look for:
- Emails advising you to send money directly to a specific bank account. Flywire will never provide payment instructions via email. The only payment instructions provided by Flywire are those offered on our website.
- Links in the email do not send you directly to our website. All links should go directly to either https://www.peertransfer.com or https://www.flywire.com. You can check the validity of the link by hovering over it; the actual URL will be displayed at the bottom of the page.
- Typos and grammatical mistakes. The email will look unprofessional, be poorly written, and contain typos and grammatical mistakes.
- Messages asking you to confirm or update your account information. Flywire will never ask you to confirm or update your information via email, text, or chat request.
If you receive an email that convinces you to connect to a suspicious site, exit immediately if you notice the following:
- Non-secure URL. Flywire operates an encrypted website, so you will always see a lock displayed next to the URL. If you do not see a lock, you may have visited a spoofed site.
- Incorrect or unexpected URL. Flywire URLs always begin with either https://www.flywire.com or https://www.peertransfer.com.
For more information on phishing and spoofing and other Internet scams, please visit the LooksTooGoodToBeTrue.com, a joint law enforcement and industry task force security site. If you think you have received a fraudulent email or are uncertain if an email you received is from Flywire, contact us immediately at [email protected].

A while back I downloaded a photo of Taipei 101 with Kwan Yin Mountain in the background. It is such a beautiful photograph. Recently I took a look at one of the landscape photos that I took of the city and Kwan Yin Mountain and I thought they must have been taken from near the same spot.
I called up the two images in PhotoShop and found that they were taken from the same area. The new photo was shot from a little higher angle, but when I matched up the mountain in the background you can see it was from the same distance. It's like looking through time. I think you will find it as interesting as I did.

The Growth of Taipei
Sarj Bloom has provided lots of great photos and narratives about his time at USTDC during the early 1960s. He recently showed me a short time-lapse video that he put together of Taipei. Here's how he describes it:

Thanks Stev and maybe there's more to come. I contacted the gentleman that is the photographer of today's Taipei shots and he has a lot of photos and I am emailing him with some my other shots to see if they line up with some of his photos from today's Taipei. I'm excited to see if we can match them up to see the difference.

The photos are not taken on the hill nearby the (old) city zoo in Yuan-Shan(圓山). The location is probably Hsiang-Shan(象山 Mountain Elephant), a hill near the end of Hsin Yi Road(信義路) in Taipei.

We offer a comprehensive weight loss surgery program at Atlanta Medical Center. We have been prestigiously named a Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program. This award was given to us based upon our proven track record of success in bariatric surgery. We have performed over 5,000 weight loss surgeries . Our surgical team routinely performs the gastric bypass, lap band, gastric sleeve and duodenal switch procedures, primarily using the laparoscopic and the traditional open technique, depending on the patient's individual needs.
Our comprehensive program includes:
Regardless of the type of surgery you choose, you'll need to work with your physician and a dietitian to construct a healthy diet plan to assure both weight loss and good nutrition. You'll be creating a plan for your new life; therefore it is important to follow it permanently for the sake of protecting your health. Our licensed dietitians can teach you about healthy food choices and new methods of food preparation.
Bariatric surgery may help you meet your weight-loss, health, and lifestyle goals. However, once you've undergone bariatric surgery, you'll need to learn some new habits to make sure that you lose weight and keep it off. Remember, this is NOT a diet but rather a weight-loss tool to help you change your life. Ongoing Support
Meet the challenges adjusting to life post operatively with the commitment of ongoing education and support. Talking to a professional about your previous struggles with obesity and your current struggles with your new post-surgery lifestyle can help you understand more about yourself, and help you stay focused on your goals. You may also find that being involved in support groups with other people who have experienced similar struggles can be extremely helpful and help you stay motivated. We highly encourage everyone to attend support group meetings after their surgery. If you are unable to attend the meetings, try to find a group that you can get together with to support each other.
Free Informational Seminars
Attend one of our free seminars to find out if surgery is an option for you. We'll discuss the risks and possible complications associated with the surgery as well as what to expect from life after the procedure.

Here is part 2 to the IIFYM topic. I hope this information helps everyone with understanding how this style of "dieting" works.
This article Written by: Omar Aldabel
Defining TerminologyBefore we begin, there are a few terms that you need to familiarise yourself with in order to fully understand the article:
- Maintenance level: the amount of calories needed to sustain your current body weight
- Deficit: eating below your maintenance level calories
- Surplus: eating above your maintenance level calories
- BMR: Basal Metabolic Rate; the amount of calories your body burns at rest just to stay alive NOT including any activity
- TDEE: Total Daily Energy Expenditure; the amount of calories your body burns in a 24 hour period including all exercise, sleeping, walking etc
- Ectomorph: used to describe someone with trouble gaining weight/with a fast metabolism
- Endomorph: used to describe someone who gains weight easily and often has trouble losing fat/with a slow metabolism
- Macro-nutrients: Macro-nutrients are nutrients that provide calories or energy. There are three macro-nutrients:
- Carbohydrate
- Protein
- Fat
- Micro-nutrients: These nutrients help your organs grow.
- Vitamins
- Minerals
STEP 1: Knowing your statsYou want to know your height, weight, gender (duh!) and knowledge of your daily activities (including training, walking, sleeping, the activity levels involved in your job e.g a pick packer versus a desk job) in order to work out your TDEE.
STEP 2: Plug your stats into our TDEE calculatorWe have carefully constructed and designed, what we believe to be, one of the most accurate TDEE calculators available on the net.
CLICK HERE to calculate your total daily expenditure.
TDEE tells you how much you need to eat in order to sustain your weight at your current activity levels.
Another alternative to calculate your TDEE is using the following simple algorithm.
Take your bodyweight in kg's and convert it to lbs.
Example: 100kg physique x 2.2 = 220lbs
Now multiply your bodyweight by 16.
Example: 220lbs x 16 = 3,520
Therefore, an individual with a bodyweight of 100kg would have a TDEE of 3,520 calories (approximation)
*NOTE* We are aware that it is difficult to be certain of your activity levels (amount spent sleeping each night etc) and it is not a big issue. Just give an approximate figure (preferably as close as possible to what you actually do) and you can monitor your weight loss/gain and adjust accordingly. *NOTE*
STEP 3: Calculate your macronutrient splitNow that you know the amount of calories you need to consume to maintain your weight, it's time to work out how you want to divide your macros.
In order to be able to divide your macros correctly, you will want to be aware of the caloric values of each macronutrient.
- Carbohydrates: 4 calories per one gram
- Fat: 9 calories per one gram
- Protein: 4 calories per one gram
Now, let's say you're a 150lb (68kg) male with a TDEE of 3000 calories.
While protein and fat are necessary for a person to function as well as retain muscle, these macronutrients will be set from the beginning and the rest of the calorie allowance will go to carbohydrates.
You want to consume at least 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight (whilst bulking/shredding), 25-30% of total calories as fats (this can be adjusted depending on how you feel/what you prefer to eat later) and the rest as carbohydrates.
(may need to adjust this, and divulge why we're using these exact amounts – why 1gram? why 0.87gram? why more when bulking?)
Here's the math:
- Protein: 150lb x 1g of protein per 1lb of bodyweight = 150g x 4 = 600 calories
- Fat: 3000 calories/4 = 750
- 750/9 = 83g of fat (better to either round up to 85g or round down to 80g for the health of your sanity) – we'll use 80g of fat as an example. 80 x9 = 720 calories.
- Total P+F: 720 + 600 = 1320
- Carbohydrates: 3000 – 1320 = 1680 calories remaining to be assigned to carbohydrates
- 1680 / 4 = 420g of carbohydrates
STEP 4: Hit your maintenance macros for two weeksNow that you know your TDEE, your maintenance level calories and your macronutrient split; you want to go ahead and hit those numbers for two weeks in order to gauge whether the calculator was right or not. If you find your weight is steady after two weeks: congratulations, you've just found your maintenance level!
If you lost weight, just add carbohydrates until your weight is steady: congratulations, you've just found your maintenance level!
If you gained weight, consume slightly less carbohydrates until your weight is steady…and you guessed it: congratulations, you've just found your maintenance level!
STEP 5: Adjust your macros according to your goalsNow that you know your maintenance level and your macronutrient split, achieving your goal of bulking, cutting or even maintaining is simple.
If our 150lb male from earlier on is an endomorph who wants to bulk, he can add anywhere from 100 calories to 500 (made up of carbohydrates or fats depending on preference) calories per day to maintenance in order to gain weight. However, being an endomorph who stores fat easily, it would be advisable if he stuck to the lower side of that range in order to minimise fat gain.
However, if he is an ectomorph who wants to bulk, we would stick to the higher side of that range in order to gain weight.
The same principles apply to cutting; if an endomorph wanted to lose weight, his deficit could again range from 100 to 500 calories, however, towards the lower end of that range, he would probably struggle to lose weight at a fast enough rate.
Again, for an ectomorph, he might have to stick to the lower end of that range.
STEP 6: Enjoy your results!This is the part where you enjoy the benefits of counting your macros and start to see results!
Enjoy it!
DISCLAIMER: If you find that this happens to you, be aware that it is entirely normal…and we take no responsibility for it.
Here's to a new you!

Mark Squilla does not want to rush into pushing 100 percent property assessments on city residents. The South Philly councilman has introduced a bill that would spread the impact of the Actual Value Initiative over three years.
Squilla's measure, if passed by City Council and signed by Mayor Michael Nutter, would spread the impact of real-value assessments over 2014, 2015 and 2016. It would soften the blow of steep tax increases for residents who have seen dramatic property value increases because of AVI, but it would also spread tax decreases over three years.
The proposed delay is an important step, Squilla said, given that so many of the new property values might not reflect what they actually are worth. Fixing what's wrong, he said, will take years, so why start charging people higher taxes right away? Or, even worse, why start giving them tax decreases that might turn into increases?
"We want to make sure we aren't taxing people on assessments that aren't correct," Squilla said in an April 5 interview.
The idea behind basing taxes on the market values of properties rather than on partial values is to make those taxes fairer than they've been. But there are more than 20,000 residents who don't agree they've gotten fair shakes under AVI, and they've filed requests for reviews of their new property market values.
Squilla (D-1st dist.) is looking for support from City Council's other 16 members. He's got some history doing that. In 2012, he said, he proposed postponing AVI's implementation until this year. He said that, initially, he was alone, but eventually, council members voted to delay AVI.
Why the delay? Information about the total value of city properties was not complete in 2012, the councilman said.
"Thank God, we didn't do it last year," he said. "It would have been chaos."
This year, Squilla said, council members are hearing about AVI mistakes from their constituents.
"I think there is more awareness of over- and underassessments," he said. "And we don't even know if these assessments are right. We all know this is going to take several years to get right."
Mistakes were expected, Michael Piper, the Office of Property Assessment's deputy administrator, said last month. And the city is ready to see some of the new assessments reduced. City Finance Director Rob Dubow last month said Nutter's 2014 budget includes $32 million to cover tax revenues lost when new assessments are lowered.
Since AVI will take time, Squilla said, he feels implementing it should take some time, too.
"The problem is bigger than something we can do in just one year," he said. "OPA says they're going to go back every year until they get this right."
Squilla needs eight more council members to support his phase-in measure, Bill 130254. If the measure passes 9–8, and then is vetoed by Mayor Michael Nutter, Squilla will have to find three more votes because it takes 12 votes to override a mayoral veto.
Kenyatta Johnson (D-2nd dist.) sees the problems Squilla sees.
"It's insane to move forward with so many complaints of inaccurate assessments," he wrote in an e-mail to the Northeast Times.
W. Wilson Goode Jr. (D-at large), however, doesn't want to wait.
"Taxpayers who are due to receive a tax decrease because their properties were previously over-assessed should not have to wait for a lower bill," he wrote in an e-mail to the Northeast Times.
Councilwoman Maria Quinones Sanchez (D-7th dist.) wants to see how Squilla can make his proposal work.
"I agree conceptually that we have to minimize the impact for residents and will remain open to all ideas," she wrote in an e-mail to the Northeast Times
First-level assessment reviews should be finished by August, Piper told Greater Bustleton Civic League members last month. Residents who don't like those results can appeal to the Board of Revision of Taxes. The BRT likely will see the bulk of those appeals as the Oct. 7 deadline approaches, said Carla Pagan, the board's executive director. Beforehand, she said, people who missed the April 1 OPA review request deadline might start contacting the BRT. ••

Thalia Ho is the incredibly talented baker behind the beautiful blog butter and brioche. Last year, she won not one, but two (!) Saveur 2016 blog awards — and you can even find some of her delicious recipes right here on eHow. Today, Thalia talks about the hand cream she can't live without, the surprising beauty must-have she always takes with her when she travels, and the inspiration behind her creative recipes.
What's your daily skin care routine?
One of the many great things about fashion is its ability to transport us to another world.
And today, at Chanel, guests took a rocket ship to outer space.
This Paris Fashion Week, Dior sent a parade of navy blue, gold lamé, and black suede magnificence down the runway. Sure, we could go on for days about the tulle corset dresses or all denim looks, but let's not forget the accessories!
From a gilded mini clutch to an haute take on the combat boot, here are our picks for the best accessories from the Dior Fall 2017 ready-to-wear collection.
Beauty and the Beast's appeal is spilling over from the screen to the fashion world, and the proof is on the red carpet. Belle's off-the-shoulder, tiered ball gown is surprisingly on-trend, with everyone from Hollywood sweetheart Alicia Vikander to music superstar Rihanna channeling the Disney princess.
With the most romantic day of the year right around the corner, you're probably starting to consider details like where to make dinner plans, what gift to give your S.O. and which outfit to wear. Wherever your night takes you on February 14, consider these simple DIY beauty tutorials to pump up and polish off your Valentine's Day look.
For a Date Night Out
We've been patiently waiting all awards season long for the 89th annual Academy Awards, and Hollywood's biggest night is finally upon us.
The industry's finest are congregating this evening in L.A.'s Dolby Theatre for what we can already tell will be one of the year's most glamorous nights. From Ruth Negga's fiery arrival in a high-collared, long-sleeve Valentino gown, to fellow Best Actress nominee Isabelle Huppert epitomizing high-shine elegance, stars are delivering major fashion on the red carpet—and we're here for it.
If you cannot re-do your base, tackle your skin one of these ways.
If your skin is looking tired and dehydrated, start by spritzing a hydrating face mist like a rose water. Let it sink into your skin and then proceed with touching-up your concealer.
If your skin is looking very oily, use a blotting sheet to remove all the excess oil before touching up the base.
Touch up your base.
To be honest: acne is annoying, whether you're dealing with daily breakouts or a few clogged pores every few weeks. And while there are lots of factors that might be contributing to your acne — your skincare routine, irritating fragrance in your soaps or laundry detergent, and hormone fluctuations, to name a few — your diet can play a role too.
It's that time of year when we all start dreaming about a summer getaway. But not just any getaway -- one that includes ample sun, sand, sea and palm trees. An island escape. But what to pack on this vacation of all vacations? The wardrobe you choose to take on a trip like this is everything, but you're going to want to be careful about the weight of your luggage -- no one likes to haul a huge suitcase onto a boat!

Oh, right, weight-loss blog (not whiny little bitch blog...hee hee). Coming right up.
I was right to own that full pound last night as the scale reassured me this morning. I could almost scrape out 193 today, but I'm going to wait for tomorrow to confirm that one. Wheee! I would luuurve to be under 190 when I go back to work. 189 has such a nice ring to it. 180 is better, but pretty sure only a horrible stomach virus combined with mono or full on removal of a limb would get me there now. S'alright though. I am the lightest I've been in nearly TEN YEARS people! That's pretty fuckin' cool in my book.
I didn't snack today! I had cereal, vegetable soup with 5 crackers...and...er...1/2 a portion of baked spaghetti. Damn that stuff is like crack. It was a much smaller portion that the one I had at my friend's last week. I was nowhere near full after 1/2. It's ok though. I was happy to stop there. I do wish I could have had a little fruit in there somewhere. Being at the dentist and getting all froze up didn't make for a huge appetite. Hungry NOW of course. Grumble. I may have a banana.
I visited my mom after the dentist and she was sooo sweet. As soon as I walked in she said, "You look so great! Look at you! You can see how much weight you've lost! You have no tummy!" I was all, "Gorsh, mom, gee...you just saw me last week!" (Yeah, I sound like Goofy when I talk). Her gushing made me smile and feel good. Thanks mom.
Thanks for reading lovely people. :)
Stats for the day:
Exercise: 40 min.

Jennifer Ellison and her husband were caught up in a "terrifying" real-life emergency on Wednesday when their boat's engine failed while they were sea fishing.
The former Brookside actress, who welcomed her second son Harry last month, and Robbie Tickle had to be towed ashore by the RNLI after getting into trouble just off the coast of Anglesey.
Jennifer revealed the drama on Twitter, writing, "Just been sea fishing with my hubby!! Needed to be rescued!!! Terrifying! Thanks so much RNLI." She also shared some photos of the incident.
The star said she feared for her life as high winds picked up, the engine of their 16ft dinghy cut out and an anchor failed to hold them.
The couple drifted miles out into the ocean, and had no signal on their phone to call for help.
"It was absolutely terrifying," she told the Liverpool Echo. "We anchored but the waves were so strong, they were coming over the boat. It was so scary.
"We drifted out into the open ocean. There was no-one in the vicinity and we couldn't use our phones to dial 999.
"We started trying to oar back to shore but it was too strong. It was about 40 minutes before we saw another boat and shouted for help.
"We didn't know if help was coming, but the next thing we knew, we heard all these sirens going off."
Jennifer and semi-pro boxer Robbie were towed back to Moelfre beach by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution after a quick 15 minute operation.
"It was embarrassing because it is a small seaside village and because alarms were going off about 100 people were standing on the shoreline watching us get towed," Jennifer added.
"I couldn't stop laughing, I think with nerves and seeing Rob's face. He was terrified. If he'd been with the guys he'd have been ok, but because he was with me he was protective."
Jennifer and Rob thanked rescuer Anthony Barclay in person after the incident.
"At the time of the rescue we didn't realise it was Jennifer on board," he said. "But after all the interest it has generated I wanted to thank her for helping raise awareness of the work of the RNLI charity and for showing her gratitude to the crew."
There was a silver lining to the day's events. Later that evening, Jennifer and Rob tucked into some delicious fresh mackerel.
"Well I must say that dinner made it all worth while!! Fresh mackerel caught by the hubby @RobbieTickle gorgeous," the mum-of-two wrote tweeted next to a photograph of their meal.

7/25/2010 | Share this article: View CommentsBy Carl S --
The Xtians that I know are fond of giving and hearing personal testimonies. That old confirmation-bias tango. But they don't want to hear those to the contrary. Tough. They'll never make progress that way, on that "ignorance is bliss" road.
Image via WikipediaI had forgotten until recently, my time in the Trappist monastery, when readings were done during the communal meals. Religious texts, of course, one of the books being on the history of Western monasticism. The original monks were hermits who went into the desert to pray, fast, scourge themselves, and otherwise repent of their own and mankind's sins. St. Anthony of the Desert stands out because of a famous story; one all-nighter of shrieks and chaotic disturbances reported by his neighbors were attributed to the saint's struggles with the "forces of evil" (Sometime later - by psychiatric analysis - to the saint's own personality.).
I was in the monastery in the early 1950s. In 1960, I was aged 22 and stationed with the U.S. Army in West Germany. My company had been out in the wilds, on maneuvers, for three days and nights without sleep. That third night, I was dropped off on the edge of a wood and told to stay there on guard duty. Alone in the silent dark, I had several of my fellow soldiers come around and talk to me personally. Not just their voices, for their entire presences were there. But I was alone the whole time.
Driving back to Ohio from California, once again alone and anxious to get back, I again went for days without sleep. On one of those nights, I encountered a wall the size of the Berlin Wall, stretched across the road in front of me, and slammed on the brakes. When I opened my eyes, there was no wall. Years later, I read the testimony of a country doctor who made so many calls in a row that he had the same experience with a "wall."
I once worked for days on end with two eight-hour jobs, snatching sleep when I could. One day I told my co-workers that they had a free day coming up, and that the notice was posted on the bulletin board in the hallway. One of them went to see, and came back with the conclusion that I saw it on my other job. And here I was absolutely sure I saw it there.
One doesn't have to be mentally ill to be confused, addled, or delusional at times. Any man who goes into the desert alone to fast, deprive himself of sleep, have only his own thoughts and ideas as a frame of reference, is messing with his mind and sanity - whether it's for five years, five months, or forty days.There are times when, very tired and nodding off, I realize I'm in a place between reality and dreams, where they fade in and out of each other, trading places. Interestingly, the brainwashing methods in the Korean War depended mostly on sleep deprivation.
Brainwashing methods in Mao's Red China consisted of placing the subjects under such emotional and physical/psychological duress that some went insane and/or committed suicide, or, as the programmers hoped, became fanatical believers, thoroughly committed true believers who could not be otherwise convinced. (Something like Jesus Camp.)
Related to these things is my experience in dealing with my older brother, living alone in Arizona after the death of his parents. He would phone me, talk coherently, and then ramble off into nonsense. One day, I got a call from another brother saying that "Ray fell down and broke his hip, and is in the hospital". Later on, my brother reported that Ray went into a coma after the operation, and died shortly thereafter. The county spokesperson called several times regarding the disposition of the properties and will. She said that she had personally been in the house and that there were bottles of vodka everywhere, some half full, some never opened. She also made the point that alcoholic beverages were the "drug of choice for his generation."
Why does this information (which can be verified by reading about sleep deprivation, brainwashing and alcoholic delusions) belong on a Christian or Ex-Christian site? Here's why. One doesn't have to be mentally ill to be confused, addled, or delusional at times. Any man who goes into the desert alone to fast, deprive himself of sleep, have only his own thoughts and ideas as a frame of reference, is messing with his mind and sanity - whether it's for five years, five months, or forty days. He may well lose sight of the boundary between reality and fantasy, even fabricate his own realities, all the while thinking himself sane and maybe even enlightened. That goes for Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, St. John on Patmos, and St. Anthony of the Desert. It's the mind-body connection, stupid!
I know people who live alone and have peculiar ways of thinking and judging, and I believe it's reasonable to conclude that they just don't have someone nearby for reality checks. And was "Revelation" written by someone not only all alone but on psychedelic substances? And maybe the Mormon and Moslem religions forbid alcoholic drinks lest their adherents discover the sources of those visions, prophesies, and interpretations of life?
I've been there with alcohol, and won't go where drugs will screw things up. I enjoy living fully, eyes wide open, facing all the good, bad, ugly and beautiful alike. Booze and drugs would ruin everything. Sans chemicals and the drugged state of religious euphoria, life is really good, even if I'm dying, as we all are. Maybe it's the mind-body connection.

I keep wanting to write something totally erudite about the economic crisis that could still cause our country to bail out banks to the tune of a trillion dollars, but I cannot.
There is something deep in me that I want to say about how egregious this bailout would be, but words escape me. Even as I search for special words I see myself looking eyeball to eyeball with a student whose parent is now unemployed, which means her tuition and fees will go unpaid.
Or, I see myself having a conversation with my financial aid officer who will tell me how much money she needs to keep some of our highest achieving students enrolled. There is something to say about the way our economy is melting down, about those who benefited and those who did not. And then there is something else to say. This is not personal. But each of us needs to take it personally.
In other words, this is a wake up call for every American who has been careless with her money. This is a wake up call for anyone who needs to look at her portfolio and figure out how to balance it. This is a painful holler for anyone who doesn't know what she is worth or how her pension fund is invested. It is time for all of us to take this crisis personally.
Most Americans are not millionaires; most of us work hard for the money.
It's a rough thing, being out there, trying to figure out how to make ends meet. It is utterly galling that 535 people are considering how to rescue bankers and nobody is rescuing us. And some of this crisis is utterly manufactured. No matter. We have to take this nonsense personally because it affects us.
Now is the time to pick up one of those personal finance books and implement a plan. Now is the time for each of us to be financial literacy warriors, pushing, focusing, fighting, fighting to make sure we understand everything we need to know about this economy. Put down the metro section of the paper, and pick up the business section. Now is the time for us to be as passionate about cash as we once were about celebrities.
When we take it personally, we can get it — we can get on program about the things that we must do to survive the next two years. Yes, two years. It is my humble opinion that it will take that long to turn the economy around, and that the new president, whoever he is, will be shackled by the funk of this economic crisis for awhile. And we don't need a drama king who suspends campaigns to deal with something he has no control over.
Let me be clear. We didn't do this. Somebody is reading and chafing and saying why should I have to bear the burden of the banks. Why must I take the weight of irresponsible profiteers? No matter. In this crisis we are in the same boat. Were I a member of Congress I'd manage this very differently, but I'm not. My professional family, the faculty, staff, students, and parents at Bennett College for Women are in crisis around this madness and I am writing as if they are reading. This is personal because survival is personal. This is a clarion call for all of us to immerse ourselves in the business of financial literacy, and to remember, as our ancestors did, to thrive, not just survive, in hard times. We spend prudently, we save, we invest, we exhale, and we remember that we are not defined by our possessions but by our hearts.

Studs and all ...
For this star studded room I had to work around a furniture piece that the client wanted to incorporate - the studded pink chaise chair. So we decided to incorporate some intricate stud work into the grey linen bed head to tie it all in and I think it turned out absolutely gorgeous! Once again I used one of my favourite wallpapers as the backdrop which gives the room a wow factor. The subtle classic tones of grey and pinks is great for a girls room as I think it can grow into an older girls room too.

Social Ticketing Pioneer Launches Industry's First End-to-End Facebook Ticketing Solution
Social Ticketing Pioneer Launches Industry's First End-to-End Facebook Ticketing Solution
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 15, 2011) - Ticketfly, Inc., the leading independent ticketing and social marketing platform, today launched the ticketing industry's first fully integrated in-app Facebook purchase solution. An extension of the company's comprehensive social ticketing platform, Ticketfly Facebook Purchase enables promoters to sell tickets directly from their Facebook Fan Pages, creating a seamless purchasing experience for fans that encourages social discovery and sharing behavior, resulting in increased ticket sales.
Until now, existing Facebook ticketing solutions have required users to leave the social network and log in to an external system to complete the transaction, introducing unwanted complexity to the overall ticket buying process. Ticketfly Facebook Purchase eliminates this friction by delivering the entire ticket buying experience, from discovery to purchase, all within Facebook.
Ticketfly Facebook Purchase is the latest development in Ticketfly's ongoing industry-first social ticketing innovations. The solution includes the following key features:
"In September at the f8 conference, Facebook selected Ticketfly as a launch partner in its Open Graph project because they recognized that we understood the full scope of social commerce opportunities for event ticketing," said Sean Porter, Ticketfly's SVP of Technology. "To date, Ticketfly is the only ticketing company to offer Facebook Connect as a primary means of authentication across all consumer facing touch points. Music fans spend much of their time on Facebook, and Ticketfly Facebook Purchase delivers on our promise to sell tickets to the fans where they are."
Ticketfly Facebook Purchase is unique in that promoters can build their events once -- in Ticketfly's integrated Backstage platform -- and automatically start selling tickets via Facebook Purchase, as well as through the client's mobile app, branded website, email newsletters, Ticketfly.com, and top music destinations including Spotify, Pandora, Songkick and many others. By harnessing the power of the social web, Facebook Purchase and the suite of Ticketfly social features mobilize fans to sell tickets through their social behaviors.
Popular music venues The New Parish in Oakland, Brick & Mortar Music Hall in San Francisco and Brooklyn Bowl in New York have been testing Facebook Purchase in a limited private beta and are already experiencing tremendous results.
"Since installing Ticketfly Facebook Purchase on our venue pages and making use of Ticketfly's social tools, we are seeing close to 25 percent of our advanced sales coming from Facebook alone," said Jason Perkins of Parish Entertainment Group. "The install only took a few minutes. Being able to build an event once and then let our ticket buyers spread the word saves us a ton of time and marketing dollars. It's really pretty simple -- making it easier for fans to buy tickets on Facebook sells more tickets."
Subsequent releases of Ticketfly Facebook Purchase will take advantage of Facebook's soon to be released Open Graph initiative, providing additional social commerce and frictionless sharing capabilities, including the ability for ticket buyers to show their friends what events they're attending via the Ticker and Timeline, "Like" artists, and invite friends to purchase tickets to the same event, all in one post-purchase click. Ticketfly's Open Graph features demonstrate the company's commitment to the music space and to helping artists expand their social presence. As confirmed by Facebook in posts on its developer blog, Open Graph features will not only make the concert experience more social, but will help event promoters harness the power of Facebook to sell more tickets.
About Ticketfly
Ticketfly is the fastest-growing independent ticketing and social marketing platform in North America. The Ticketfly platform provides next-generation ticketing, website, social marketing and analytics tools that enable event promoters and venues to drive ticket sales, build community and grow revenue. Ticketfly was founded by the team that first brought event ticketing to the Web. Recently, Fast Company named Ticketfly one of the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Music and Billboard called Ticketfly one of the Five Hot Digital Music Companies to Watch.

Lis put this beautiful look together using Nars Nouvelle Vogue collection, including the Nars Hammamet Eyesdhadow Duo, Impassioned blush and Vida Loca lipgloss..
NARS has just released its Nouvelle Vogue Spring 2016 Color collection (now up at Nordstrom) at its online store and its boutiques (elsewhere February 1st), using the theme Nouvelle Vogue:
The new wave of chic. Seasonal shades suit up for resort mode with high-sun and high-style. For Spring 2016, NARS debuts a fresh and modern mix of seasonal shades and innovative textures for eyes, cheeks and lips. Orchid blush radiates from a natural, matte complexion and lips captivate in shimmering apricot, rose and mulled wine. Eyes mesmerize in icy mint, matte beige and bronzed rose tones paired with a bold, winged liner.
Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in a sumptuous, versatile spectrum that can be applied dry for a sophisticated sheer effect, or wet for a dramatic, high-shine finish ($29 each)
- Tarvos Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow: Icy Mint
- Cressida Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow: Shimmering midnight blue
- Kari Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow: Soft rose pink
Instant Crash Lip Gloss ($26) Soft shimmering apricot Vida Loca Lip Gloss ($26) Guava Rosecliff Lipstick, $28 (Soft rose) Banned Red Lipstick, $28 (Mulled wine) Hammamet Duo Eyeshadow, $35 (limited edition)
- Left: Matte beige
- Right: Bronzed rose; limited edition
Impassioned Blush, $30 (Pink orchid)
This collection is currently available at Nordstrom, Barneys New York and Nars online.
NARS Banned Red and Rosecliff lipsticks were some of the loveliest products of this collection. Liz and I had another arm-wrestling match over Rosecliff, one of those perfect pinks that looks amazing with everything (Liz won). Absolutely universal, unique and lovely.
NARS Instant Crash Lip Gloss, a shimmering apricot and Vida Loca in a soft beige Guava, are both limited edition. I've noticed that these glosses need two layers to get the best look.
Liz is wearing Vida Loca in this lip swatch.
I love the Hammamet Duo Eyeshadow. These two near-neutrals have a sophisticated look that is a lovely variation of All About Eve, arguably one of the most brilliant neutral eyeshadow palettes of all time. You need this one.
On Liz:
The NARS Nouvelle Vogue collection is rounded out by a neutral pink blush called Impassioned. This is a softly pigmented color that will work for the palest beauties, and perhaps as an accent shade on those with darker skin tones. Impassioned is a pink version of Nars Sex Appeal blush–its very soft and ethereal. If you are looking for something with more punch, there are other blushes that would better fit that criteria. Many neutral collections benefit from a few touches of color, and NARS Spring delivers in two colorful Dual Intensity eyeshadows–the icy mint Tarvos and the midnight blue Cressida.
I adore this formula, and both of these are gorgeous, soft, shimmery jewels. Both very Spring-appropriate colors which should add interest to a neutral look. Kari is a soft rose pink eyeshadow in the Dual Intensity formula (swatched above). It's softer–not as shimmery–as Tarvos or Cressida. If you are interested in the Hammamet Duo, Kari coordinates beautifully with it. Liz is wearing Rosecliff lipstick in this close-up.
Overall, NARS created an amazing, unique and wearable collection for Spring '16. It's beautiful. The formulae, the textures, the colors, and the overall coordination is perfection.This collection is currently available at Nordstrom, Barneys New York and Nars online. In the above images, you can also see a preliminary image of the NARSissist L'Amour Toujours L'Amour Palette (reviewed here).
These press samples were sent to Cafe Makeup without charge for consideration for review. Affiliate links

I have always dreamt of having long hair, but my hair has always been the type to stop growing past a certain length. Those of you that have the same issue will have experienced the same frustration. No matter what products, the hair care or how often I tried to get it cut, I have never been able to get it much past shoulder length. I'd read so much about the damage bonded extensions could do (especially as my hair is quite fine) so that never appealed! So, when the lovely people at Milk + Blush got in touch with me to try out some of their latest clip in hair extensions, I jumped at the chance. Long, princess hair you shall be mine!
I didn't know what shade or length to go for, so I sent a shot of my hair to the Milk + Blush team and they recommended the ombre triple weft full set, 16-18" in the shade 'Bel Air Baby'. When the set arrived it came in the most gorgeous blush packaging, complete with a tester weft to check the shade and length. I was amazed at how gorgeously thick, soft and luxurious the pieces were. They matched my hair colour perfectly and the ombre blend was so pretty! For tips on how to put them in I went to the super informative Milk + Blush YouTube channel and picked up a few techniques, I was such a novice I needed all the tips I could get. I first tried them on un-styled and cut them in to sit more in line with my face shape. For their first outing, I curled the hair extensions using my straighteners and adding some curls to my own natural hair. I then gathered the shortest pieces of my hair at the nape of the neck, twisted them and pinned them up.
Then it was time to start clipping them in. I worked my way up from the bottom of my hair upwards, parting my hair into sections. I used the 3 clip weft followed by another 3 clip weft, before using the 4 clip weft across the back. I then positioned the remaining 2 clips either side of my head, 2 each side. As a first time user of any clip in hair extensions they were super easy to pop in and had a great grip. I didn't feel like they were going to fall out at any point which I was particularly worried about if the Manchester wind and rain is anything to go by! It's safe to say I'm a little bit addicted already!

Pearl Thusi talks Quantico
By: Ashlee Wilson | Fri 04 Nov 2016, 08:00
Quantico's new girl chats to us.
South Africa has been swelling with pride since our home girl Pearl Thusi landed a role in the international series Quantico S2 on Vuzu AMP 103 (20:30 on Mondays and available on DStv Catch Up).
The KZN-born Lip Sync Battle Africa host and SA social butterfly landed in the big time alongside Priyanka Chopra and we had a little chat with her to see how she's getting along.

Read our interview with Pearl below:
Image: Pearl Thusi Instagram
The million-dollar question is: what's it like working on a famous international production such as Quantico?
Working with a large, lovely and incredibly professional group of individuals has contributed so much to me and my career. It hasn't been long but I feel like I've grown immeasurably. I'm also excited to see what happens to my character as the season rolls out and what this will mean for other actors from South Africa. I hope that we receive and also create more opportunities like this.
How are you adapting to New York?
It feels like home. I visited New York with Universal Music two years ago and I didn't want to leave. So coming back in this way was only something the universe and God could orchestrate. As much as I miss home and all my loved ones, I am feeling very fulfilled and happy here.
What has been your biggest highlight so far?
Absorbing the plethora and vivid diversity in the city. There are so many incredible sounds and stories here that you can never ignore. I've never resided outside of South Africa so every day and every new thing I learn is a highlight.
So far I think it was the reality of the first episode airing, seeing my name on the screen and my country celebrating what I believe is OUR achievement. It's the people who watched, hired and in any way contributed to where I am now that must also celebrated. I am nothing without all those firm and strong building blocks.
What has been the biggest challenge?
Learning to be a part of a new community isn't easy. I have a new found respect for anyone who takes the plunge and immigrates or chooses to be a working foreigner in any country.
If we could learn from such courage and resilience we'd grow so much as a people. Xenophobia really is a terrible cancer, yet a curable disease - if we would just open our hearts, ears and minds. There is so much to learn.
Many are saying that you and Priyanka are changing the American Entertainment dynamic, what does this mean to you?
I think there have been many before us, but we live in a different age where it is so easy to amplify your mark and contribution yet it isn't as easy to sustain it. Give us a chance. Priyanka is a super power and I am learning many incredible and valuable lessons from her too.
You're seen as a role model and icon – what's the biggest message you'd like to get across to your fans?
You can do it too. You could even do it better. Just be YOU.
What are you yourself watching on telly at the moment?
I don't really get much time to watch television. But some of my favourite things to watch are: (I don't have access to DStv here so don't judge) Quantico, How to Get Away with Murder, Orange is the New Black, Stranger Things, House of Cards, Scandal - among others.
What's the difference between working in SA and Africa and New York?
You can't really compare the two. The entertainment industry here - the artists take themselves very seriously, so the corporates have too as well.
How do you feel the media in America is reacting, are they more supportive?
People have been incredible here. And I'm extremely grateful, but media coverage and value is not what I'm after. My craft and growth as an actor is the most important thing. The rest will come later. If your work is brilliant, no one will be able to ignore you.
What's the biggest misconception about working in on an international production? Did anything surprise you?
I thought everything was planned way before, but they have similar challenges when it comes to production and planning. The difference is how they apply themselves and how committed everyone is to the job and solving the problem. It's truly incredible to watch. I feel like I'm a part of an amazing family - it's awesome! I knew there'd be nice people, but I've been blown away by the kindness that surrounds me.
Catch Pearl in Quantico S2 on Vuzu AMP 103 (20:30 on Mondays and available on DStv Catch Up).

Grab-It Reviews
About Grab-It
Grab-it is a hands-free gadget mount they say will hold any device up to 10 lbs. They tout its double-sided force vacuum locks it onto surfaces including countertops and dashboards, and can be used with smartphones, tablets, GPS, or any device you want to look at but not hold.
Grab-it is another product marketed and sold by Telebrands, the ubiquitous infomercial kings that invented the "As Seen On TV" logo. Although they have numerous complaints about their dozens of products, they are accredited by the BBB and currently have an A- rating. (The BBB says this is due to the size of the company relative to the number of complaints and the prompt resolution of disputes.)
How Grab-it Works
Grab-it is a two-sided suction-mounting device; one end sticks to the surface and the other to the gadget of choice. To use Grab-it, place the bottom mount on the surface and pump twice – they say this creates a super-strong vacuum seal. Attach your device to the other cup, pump again, and you are now hands-free.
They tout Grab-it pivots 360 degrees for viewing at any angle. Some of the suggested uses are in the car for GPS or cell phones, attaching tablets to desktops, and even allowing you to follow recipes in the kitchen on your iPad while you are busy cooking.
Grab-it includes:
- Grab-it Hands Free Universal Device Mount
- BOGO (extra S&H)
Grab-it Pricing, Shipping, and Returns
Grab-it can be "grabbed" for $10 plus $6.99 shipping/handling for a total of $16.99. At time of order you can "buy one get one" for another $6.99 in fees. All Telebrands products come with the same 30-day money-back guarantee – if within that time period you don't like it, you may return for your initial $10, but not any S&H you paid (and you have to pay to ship back). You must also include a written "detailed explanation" as to why you are returning or they could deny your request.
Bottom Line: Is Grab-it a Scam?
Grab-it may indeed work as advertised, but we are not fans of Telebrands' excessive shipping fees and complicated return policy. If you are looking for a hands-free device and are interested in Grab-it, we suggest waiting a month or so until it becomes available at larger retailers like Amazon or Walgreens that has a better return policy and less fees.

Total waste of money
I am 4'11" and reaching for things up high is a problem, so I was sold when I saw this product on HSN! The infomercial made it seem like something I could truly use around my house.
When the product came, it sucked! It does not lock so you would have to turn it upside to keep it from folding back up. It does not grab things as easily as they showed on their infomercials. I even paid for shipping and handling for a second one, and I was so disappointed.
If you plan on buying this item, don't. Save your money for a step stool instead!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I don't recommend.
I ordered these and it took 15 days to get one set. Then 10 days later, I got the free set. Their shipping stinks. I had to call them to get my purchase.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gadget grab
Bought it and it really wasn't good from the get go. It doesn't hold phone as it kept falling off.

Shipping scam
First they charge a surcharge of $10.00 to ship it to Hawaii saying shipping is more expensive. Then they send it by ground shipping through FedEx Smartpost, so it takes 21 days for a 1.1 pound package to be delivered. It should have been sent via USPS Express in 3 days for $4.95. The extra $10.00 for shipping to Hawaii is 100% rip off.

Grabbit works as advertised
Grabbit mounted to my windshield easily and maintains its hold, even in heat. My phone stuck to it effortlessly and true to their demonstration, it does not come off. With that said, be sure to read the instructions on how to remove it. I did not, and it gripped so well, I pulled the battery cover right off my phone. Thankfully, it was not damaged and went back on. After buying mine and getting it home I found that the vacuum lever to operate the suction cup had been installed upside down. With and ink pen I was able to push the pivot pin out and reverse the lever with only minor effort. Hopefully yours will be installed correctly.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friendComments (1)View all 1 commentsHide comments

Will this work for my phone with the case on it? I have Galaxy Note 2 with heavy duty zero lemon battery installed and a phone case so I'd need this to hold up all of that.

Skirt: similar here
Shoes: similar here
Sometimes you find the best pieces on the most unexpected places. In this particular case, I found this skirt at a garage sale that a girl was having on the street in the Mission District for $10 (you have to love San Francisco.) It's one of those basic pieces that just ends up fitting you and your wardrobe perfectly. As I've said before on this blog, I feel like every article of clothing in my wardrobe is something I either spent too much money on, or spent next to nothing. Usually they are either used clothing for extremely cheap, or it's more of an essential statement piece that I've deemed worth spending money on. There's really no in between for me. Is anyone else like that or am I just weird?
Anyway, hope you guys are having a wonderful Monday. I was excited for the eclipse all weekend, but it looks like it will be far too cloudy to see anything in San Francisco. Did any of you guys get a good view?

I still love the way they advertise Roundup as "controlling all weeds" and such. I should probably give Monsanto a commission for all the lawn repair we've had from homeowners seeing their advertisements and using it on their "weeds" in the front yard. LOL
Of course, most of those people don't think much of Monsanto.

I have a few key pieces in my wardrobe that never goes wrong, and my black jumpsuit is the perfect example. I do not have a lot of time in the morning, and love the fact that I can just wear one piece almost every day- just style it differently. Here styled as a pair of pants, with my belted biker jacket. Happy monday everyone.
