I'm still here...
So I thought this would be an opportunity to start to have a clear of my 20 years worth of crafting ....what a nightmare...found things I hadn't seen for years and things I had bought and forgotten about.
Anyway to cut a long story short Saturday we were starting to put in the new units and I started to put things back...then Saturday evening I just happened to say I would like another shelf...ok my hubby said' I will do it now...he started to drill and 'BANG' straight through an electric cable which blew the electrics...oh JOY.... this meant no heating or hot water etc....rang our friend an electrician who came to our aid and he sorted out our problem after a few hours ...so at midnight my DH was re plastering part of my craft room wall...Sunday he painted...and so today at least I think we are about there...still waiting delivery of the doors for my new units but at least everything is back and less of it!! Just the other half of the room to be done but this can wait for a while now...the bin men are going to have a shock when they try to lift our paper waste...off down to the charity shop as well armed with boxes and lots of unwanted crating goodies.....
Hopefully tomorrow I will have a card to show you as I have been colouring one of my new LOTV images....

Hi Anne, I'm in a similar position, so I can appreciate where you're coming from. But to make matters worse, my DH completely emptied my craft room while I was away, and he just threw it all into large storage boxes without labelling anything! It's been a complete nightmare sorting through everything and trying to find what I need to craft. Like you, I'm finding lots of things I had forgotten I had, or had never used. It's still a long way off being completed but at least I now have my computer back. Good luck with everything, and I hope you enjoy your new Ebosser and storage units xxx

Heavens Anne, sounds like the domino effect! Can't wait to see how you get on with your ebosser, the advantage of having a minute craft room is that I can't accommodate any more machines:)

Oh Anne - talk about Casey's Court!!! Must admit I had to stiffle a giggle (she said from the hallowed interior of her new craft room.........!).

I know I haven't updated this blog for a few days and I haven't reciprocated all drops from Entrecard but for a good reason. I've been visiting my parents and my sister in Bicol and it was a short break too from internet. For the past few weeks I've been working on a new website, transferring a blogger blog to wordpress (which was really tedious but worth it), brainstorming for a new site for my husband and I've also been so busy sorting out our stuff for packing for our pending move. With all this, I felt like I needed to refresh my mind and be without TV and internet for a couple of days.
My parents are both retired from work and they are now busy with something they both enjoy – gardening. I call our home in Albay my "green refuge". When I'm there I don't feel like going out, I just moved around getting myself some sunshine and taking photos of my mother's flowering plants and greens.
My mom is currently into tropical blooms like hibiscus, bougainvilleas, orchids and some cacti. We were quite lucky a lot of them had flowers so I had a grand time taking photos.
Visiting the place I grew up never fails to uplift me and renew my take on things. It's a great way for me to relax, see how my parents and sister are doing, and generally be lazy. I've been working non-stop for a couple of weeks already and I felt like a needed a break. There I could laze around, wake up late, it's also a "cooking vacation time" for me, where I could have my fill of Bicolano delicacies I miss so much, where I could take leisurely baths (water there is super cool!), see old neighbors, see relatives, see former classmates..
I was hoping to get nice photos of Mayon Volcano. I waited for days but the majestic Mayon seemed to be hiding.. Clouds were covering the top most days so I had to go back without a really good photo..:)

Today's article is about a new product I purchased from the brand Sleek : called Pout Polish.
I already had the other products of this collection 'the blush and the palette' and they are absolutely gorgeous.
So I was really curious about this product so I decided to buy it and I don't regret it.
My opinion about the Sleek Limited edition tinted lip conditioner Monte Carlo
The product
The product is really creamy and feels really nice on your lips.
It's not sticky or smelly , cause some lip balms don't feel nice on your lips.
The lip balm has a SPF 15 in it which is GREAT for summer.
You need to protect your lips and this is a fashionable way to do it.
Your protecting your lips and you have great bright lips.
You get 10g in one package which is very good I think.
Also the lip balm is very good pigmented for a lip balm. It doesn't gives as much color as a lipstick would but this works great.
The price.
This brand is budget friendly , as all my products I buy since I don't have much money to spend.
The lip balm costs €6,50 at www.alicejohavesentials.nl
The package
The lid is matt black with the limited edition print on it from the city of Monte Carlo.
The bottom is sheer so you can easily see the color with is good.
The lid is a little fragile I think , at least that's how it feels.
Would I buy this product again ?
YES , I really love this product , I think it's amazing.
It's really moisturizes my lips and it gives them a great color to.
I use it on a daily base ,specially this summer.
Bright lips are very in , and this way I protect my lips and still look good with bright lips.
Well this was it for this review,
I hope you liked it and enjoyed reading.
With lots of love ,

The late comedian Richard Pryor once stated in his routine, "I went downtown to get justice. I didn't get it but that is just what I saw 'Just Us'".
I don't have to tell you that when it comes to equal justice our system is falling way short for the common man. If you want justice you have to have sufficient legal representation and the most common way to get that is through money – plenty of it. We, as a people, are being abused due mainly to our economic status and lack of access to good legal representation.
Some of our neighborhoods and economic centers have been demolished for the sake of highway improvement, gentrification. If, in the past, we had good legal representation we would still have the Claiborne District in New Orleans, the viable Fillmore Business Center in San Francisco and Black Bottom in Detroit. Every city has an example of how "they" came in and destroyed our communities for "their" vision.
As a graduate in correctional administration, I have experienced the very sad state of affairs with our prison population. After interviewing inmates at various venues, it becomes clear the majority, repeat MAJORITY, of people who are incarcerated should not be.
A public defender is the weakest link in the criminal defense system and the alternatives are far too expensive for the majority of our people. Thus, we go down a lifelong journey of criminal records and blockage from most economic opportunities, which lessen our quality of life immensely.
Founder, Chairman and CEO of Pre-Paid Legal Services, Harlan Stonecipher, has publicly stated, "Those words atop the Supreme Court Building 'Liberty and Justice for All' are just a lie." Most of us will agree with that. What is unique about Mr. Stonecipher is he has built and implemented an alternative to limited viable legal access.
Pre-Paid Legal has a network of major law firms from state to state. These attorneys are available whenever a subscriber of Pre-Paid Legal calls on them. They are there to provide them their best legal advice and representation. Whether someone has thrown trash on your property or your child has been thrown in jail and booked for charges, they are there to help you fight for your legal rights.
It's like a good insurance policy. You pay an affordable monthly fee and have big, downtown attorneys to represent you and bring closure to any challenge. Your cleaners destroyed your clothes and refuses to reimburse you; the city wants to condemn your property and offers you a fraction of the true value; you are getting sickly and want to update your will; someone files a frivolous lawsuit against you; the school principal expelled your child for vague reasons; and so on.
The latest challenge in our communities is the collapse of sub-prime mortgages, which threatens foreclosure to thousands of Black families. Losing your dream home and all your equity is a hurt that will last for at least a decade. Get good legal representation and exhaust all your options. Make sure your attorneys are as competent as those of your banker or mortgage company.
Have teenage children? Make sure the next time they run into an abusive police officer who is having a bad day that you have legal protection for them. Most of us have experienced such to an alarming degree. Let's have an option that doesn't exhaust our finances.
Harry Alford is the co-founder, president/CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce.

Advertising Feels Like Math (Sometimes)
Before entering the crazy world of advertising, I honestly thought it was all fun and games. That all the creative geniuses behind the ads I loved and talked about would just play all day. That because these people were having so much fun within the ten or so hours that they worked, they could end the week on a high note: attending glamorous advertising award shows, throwing parties. That these people were just so cool: they came to work in Chuck Taylors and Bohemian drawstring pants with thick square frames for glasses.
Little did I know that there was so much more to advertising than the glitz and glamor, the hipster-esque fashion, the fun and games.
I've realized, through the years, that advertising feels like Math. And, mind you, Math has always been my waterloo. It is That One Thing that I've struggled to understand through the years. Mainly because I don't seem to have the kind of logical reasoning needed to get it.
So, here is why advertising feels like solving a Math problem. At least to my über right-brained mind.
Sample Math Problem: A triangle has a perimeter of 50. If 2 of its sides are equal and the third side is 5 more than the equal sides, what is the length of the third side?
If we were to solve this Math problem, we'd go about it this way:
Step 1: Assign variables:
Let x = length of the equal side
Step 2: Write out the formula for perimeter of triangle:
P = sum of the three sides
Step 3: Plug in the values from the question and from the sketch:
50 = x + x + x+ 5
Combine like terms
50 = 3x + 5
Isolate variable x
3x = 50 – 5
3x = 45
x =15
The length of third side = 15 + 5 = 20
Answer: The length of third side is 20
(Math problem taken from http://www.onlinemathlearning.com/geometry-word-problems.html. I've forgotten my high school geometry and therefore didn't bother solving it on my own. Thanks, Internet!)
So we move on to advertising.
Sample Advertising Brief: We want people to download the free app and use it within 10 days to buy the special offer, a $1 family size pizza from Papa John's.
(Random creative brief nicked from http://www.adcracker.com/brief/Sample_Creative_Brief.htm. Thanks again, Internet!)
Normally, this is how most advertising creatives would crack the brief.
Step 1: Think of a Big Idea.
What is a Big Idea anyway? It's that one term you'll hear during brainstorms or while presenting to clients.
In a nutshell, it's an irrefutable truth (yes, this is redundant) about your target market, your product, or the category your product competes in.
So if I were to work around a Big Idea related to that advertising brief, or "Math problem", if you will, I'd arrive at something like this. (Mind you, one can only get to this point after spewing endless mind maps. I suggest you throw everything out there — inane as it may seem — before whittling it down to what you feel is the best Big Idea.)
People panic when threatened about the future.
Step 2: Think of the Execution.
Most creative briefs will tell you how your clients want to advertise (these are called "channels"). Is it a 30-seconder TV commercial? Something viral? A brand bug on TV? Or a print ad? Or an Integrated Marketing Campaign (IMC)?
If you know what the channels are, then great! Less of a headache for you. At least your end results will be much more focused and single-minded.
But if the sky's the limit, you can also go wild and end up with a Keynote deck with 100+ slides full of executions.
For this blog entry's sake, let's say I go with a viral campaign. I decide to create a series of webisodes on YouTube where people are threatened with their fates in a matter of days. Maybe one episode will be about someone discovering his fate after reading what's written in his fortune cookie. He panics to the point wherein he can't sleep and holes up at home. He can either do that, or simply download the free Papa John's app and use it within 10 days to avail of a $1 family size pizza.
Step 3: Execute.
Assuming your Creative Director and Executive Creative Director have given you their blessings (chances are, you'll go through several — or in the case of most creatives, seemingly endless — rounds of revisions), you can go ahead and execute. Come up with scripts plus an eye-catching visual for your end shot, accompanied by a witty tagline. Then present to client.
If all goes swimmingly, your client will love the idea and have you go through the "production" process ASAP. In the real world, though, you're likely to go through these processes all over again until you and the client finally come to a compromise that you're both happy about.
Why does advertising sometimes feel like Math, at least to me?
Many times, you try and try and try until you crack that brief (or die). The same way you can be on your twenty-fourth attempt to prove that Triangle ABC is congruent to Triangle XYZ.
Many times, advertising doesn't always require you to think with your heart. It requires you to use your mind.
It requires you to dig deep into human insight to resonate with your target market, which means some sort of "inductive reasoning".
It requires logic, which has to be communicated in a witty, clever way.
Specific to my being a copywriter, this requires me to string words and phrases together in a way that flows nicely and makes complete sense. So much so that when I finally finish a TV script, for example, I can say, "Eureka!" with flair.
Unlike how I view Math, though, advertising is much more fun, insane, loud, unpredictable, sometimes senseless.
Unlike Math, advertising allows me to combine two of my passions: my love for visuals and my love for the written word.
And unlike Math, for the most part, I actually get advertising. I have my bad days, definitely. But on my good days, I feel fulfilled. Fulfilled enough to keep pushing myself until I can say, "Yes, Advertising, we're on the same wavelength now."
I work in a crazy, creative, chaotic, and challenging industry and I love it.

I'm a math and stats major, and I have a minor in finance; (yes, feel free to get sick your stomach haha!), after reading this entry, I can honestly say that you do have a mind for math. You approach your advertising quandaries with logic - I approach math problems the same way you enumerated your steps. Except, my step 1 is "What's the idea behind this problem?" - which leads me to think, "What's the best logical answer?" - which then leads me to something similar to your steps 2 & 3.ReplyDelete
There's plenty of math and data in advertising, as you well know, especially in analytics. Some ad firms commission data analytic firms to maximize ad exposure during certain times of the day for instance, or companies commissioning ad firms might do a market analysis first, then commission an ad firm based on their initial market analysis - with the hopes of an ad firm improving upon their initial market analysis.
There's probably someone in your firm that tells clients, "We are 95% confident that if we air this commercial between the hours of 7:30pm and 9:30pm, during program XYZ, on network JKL, we'll have viewer exposure of approximately 9,500 - 10,000 households."
Math can be fun, just give it a chance :)

German national on cannabis charges refused bail
A German national was been refused bail at Naas District Court last Wednesday, March 28 after Gardai objected to his application.
Florien Feld, 35, whose address is listed as 4 Grattan Hall, Mount Street Lower, Dublin 2 was arrested at the Lidl Carpark, Newbridge last Tuesday, March 27 with, it is alleged, a kilogram of cannabis resin, and alleged, with inention to sell or supply it.
Arresting Gardai objected to bail on the basis that as a German national he had no ties to Ireland.
"He has been in Ireland since 2003 and worked from then until 2006 but there is no record of him being involved in any work since then."
It is understood that Mr. Feld also dated a local Naas woman for some time around then as well.
The arresting Garda said he was objecting to bail on the basis that Mr. Feld may flee the country rather than face charges, on the seriousness of the charge.
"He has a sister in Ireland and two more in Germany," his solicitor Stephen Walsh told the court.
And he offered that €1,500 be made available for bail, as well as offering that he give up his passport and sign on at a local Garda station.
But Judge Desmond Zaidan refused the bail application on the basis on the serious nature of the charge.

Last year I noticed there was an increasing amount of unwanted household goods going to landfill. So I decided to start a new enterprise to tackle the challenge...
My idea was pretty simple. Use my skills to help local residents repair and recycle their household items. Preventing them going to landfill, saving everyone money while protecting our environment...
Needless to say, I jumped at the chance!
In addition to saving money and the environment, my aim is to help train local people to repair things for themselves.
I'll be running regular open cafe style workshops at the Wivenhoe Library every Thursday 5:30 - 7pm, where residents can learn to fix things properly for themselves. I also hope to run a programme of training and employment opportunities for those who want to build their confidence, develop new skills or get back themselves into work.
We are pleased to announce we have been short listed on Colchester Big Choice. Please vote for us by clicking on the link below;

Blogging for Books generously sent me a copy of Pete Evan's The Paleo Chef, a beautiful hardbound cookbook that prides itself on "Quick, Flavorful Paleo Meals for Eating Well".
|(c) AAP
The Author: Pete Evans is an acclaimed international chef and television personality hailing from Australia with over a half dozen cooking books to his name. He is a judge on teh Australian reality show, My Kitchen Rules, and his pizza parlour was heralded by Oprah during her Australian Adventure.
|(c) Random House, 2015
The Book: Pete Evans provides 216 pages full of beautifully photographed dishes (and drinks) alongside a brief introduction about the Paleo lifestyle and over a 100 recipes for everything from breakfast to dessert to drinks.
|(c) Pete Evans, 2015
The 4-1-1: The book is a visual feast, undoubtedly. I am not currently following the Paleo lifestyle so my opinion comes from having never opened a single Paleo cookbook nor stocked my pantry with the needed ingredients such as coconut oil and coconut cream (two ingredients Pete Evans uses quite liberally in his recipes).
That said, I found the book to be overwhelming and daunting. I don't believe there is a single recipe in the book that I could accomplish without a visit to the grocers. The introduction appears to be written for the Paleo novice such as myself but is too simplified.
Also, although the book claims to be full of "quick" meals, most recipes required at least 30 minutes (one even requiring at least 12 hours to marinate). So if you are pressed for time and looking for a 'quick' meal, I would recommend passing on this particular cookbook.
For those who are interested in the Paleo lifestyle, I would recommend finding another book to begin with. For those who are already living a Paleo lifestyle, this book might be worth picking up from your local bookshop or favourite online retailer as it is filled with glorious looking recipes including Raw Cauliflower Tabbouleh, Chorizo & Seafood Paella, Tuna Tartare on Nori Crisps and a dairy-free Mixed Berry Cheesecake.
Where to buy the book?: The Paleo Chef can be purchased at most bookshops and online.
- Amazon ($19.07 Hardcover) ($11.99 Kindle)
- Barnes & Nobles ($19.25 Hardcover) ($13.99 Nook)
- Foyles (£24.99 Hardcover with a discount for online delivery)
- Waterstones (£20.00 Hardcover)
I hope this has been helpful for my lovely readers! If you have any cookbook recommendations do share! xx
The Disclaimer: I received this book to review compliments of Random House but all opinions are my own.

After virtually every high-profile mass shooting incident, Democrats will weep and wail about the prevalence of firearms and gun violence in our society, then propose ineffectual and unworkable gun control legislation that will go nowhere in Congress.
As such, citizen gun control advocacy groups have increasingly been bypassing Congress and going directly to the states in order to achieve their stated goal of reducing gun violence by diminishing the number of guns in possession of the citizenry — in other words, gun confiscation.
Obviously, the mass confiscation of firearms from the hands of American citizens would not only be unconstitutional, but would also likely spark a civil war. So, the anti-gun crowd has — for now — set their sights on limited confiscation of guns from certain individuals by the state, and they have a major mainstream media outlet backing them to the hilt in their efforts.
Advertisement - story continues below
ABC News recently published a piece focused on a gun control tool known as an Extreme Risk Protection Order, essentially a restraining order between gun owners and their guns, that would allow for the confiscation of their lawful property on the mere say-so basis from others like family members, acquaintances or law enforcement officials — without the gun owner's knowledge or input.
ERPO laws are already in effect in such places as California, Connecticut, Oregon and Washington state, with similar legislation being worked on in a multitude of other states and Washington, D.C., as well as — to a lesser and limited extent — Indiana and Texas.
TRENDING: Fmr. Obama Lead Adviser Says What We're All Thinking About AOC: 'Economically Ignorant'
The way these laws work is by allowing family members or the police to express their concern about the potential imminent danger of an individual in a petition to a judge, who could in turn order the individual to surrender their lawfully possessed weapons for a temporary period of time.
Unfortunately, Breitbart pointed out that these gun confiscation orders are made "ex parte" — on behalf of one party in the absence of, or without notice to, the other — meaning the first knowledge a targeted gun owner would have of an ERPO against them would be when police officers arrive at the door and demand the person's weapons be handed over.
Advertisement - story continues below
As an aside, Brietbart also noted how gun control advocates often use conflated and inflated numbers regarding "gun violence" to mislead legislators and the citizenry into supporting their confiscation measures.
This is done by lumping suicides and lawful defensive gun uses or police shootings in with actual gun crime, which is at historically low levels in most of the country, save large urban areas.
As for the ERPOs, the National Rifle Association has made it clear on multiple occasions that they do not support such gun confiscation measures.
In September of 2016, as Washington state voters were preparing to vote on a ballot initiative allowing for ERPOs, the NRA explained that people with no expertise in mental health or limited knowledge of the individual in question could usurp people's constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
"This law would be ripe for abuse by individuals that disagree with the Second Amendment, and the mere insinuation that gun ownership makes you a danger to yourself or others is offensive and insulting," the NRA wrote, as they noted that laws already exist to deal with gun possession by dangerous individuals.
Advertisement - story continues below
More recently, in August, the NRA decried the signing into law of ERPOs in Oregon by again reiterating their concern with these kinds of anti-gun laws.
The new law in Oregon "will allow people who are not mental health professionals, who may be mistaken, and who may only have minimal contact with the respondent to file a petition with the court and testify on the respondent's state of mind."
"This ex parte order, which strips the accused of their Second Amendment rights, will be issued by a judge based on the brief statement of the petitioner," the NRA continued. "The accused will not be afforded the chance to appear in court to defend themselves against the allegations when the ERPO is issued."
Ominously, they added, "These orders may be issued without any allegations of criminal behavior."

This is a frightening development in the constant battle to defend the gun rights of law-abiding American citizens, and the media has made it abundantly clear that they stand with anti-gun Democrats in their push for gun confiscation.
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter so everyone can see the newest tool Democrats and the media are using to go after lawful gun owners.

Anti-pipeline activists squatting in West Texas have set up a donation page … because they need gas money to relocate to Kansas.

I found Momoko Lens Shop through instagram. Their account had such pretty lens variety I have never seen before. The brands seemed quite unknown to me, so I was afraid they were not a legit store, however when I checked a little deeper, they also sold lenses I already owned, which was the reason that pushed me ahead to try their lenses!
Their store is facebook based. Despite being a little different way to order and it might be scary, they accept PayPal, so there's nothing to worry! Your money will be in a safe place!
The communication with the store was really easy and they were quite friendly, which made me very comfortable to talk to them and to question about their lenses.
I chose the Viga 3T Gold lenses to review as I can never get enough of yellowish lenses and, I gotta admit, I wanted to see just how vibrant these were!
The lenses were out of stock at the moment, but it didn't take them long to stock them and to ship them to me. I was really happy with this service!
Now, to the interesting part!
Here's a comparation shot between my Sweety Brown lenses and Kotoba Viga 3 tone lenses!
Can you see how much more vibrant Kotoba lenses are?
I know my eyes are very bright, but the lenses look AMAZING! I am so pleased with them that I can't express how much I love them!
I am sure they would look just as vibrant on darker eyes since ther's no transparency to them.
The lenses are very comfortable. I was afraid they would be uncomfy or that they would hurt my eyes, as it's a brand I never tried before, but they actually feel pretty good!
Asides from the strong color, I really like how there lenses don't have the halloween design to them. They look as natural as possible and I'm sure that if I had chosen a color similar to my eye color, they would look very natural.
I would really recommend you to break the ice and try the lenses from this store out in case you really need some vibrant lenses for daily wear or cosplay! They have a big variety of lenses to the point where they sell character lenses as well!
The shipping was very fast and the lenses didn't go to customs, which is very pleasant, considering that all things I order have to pass through customs...
I can definitely say that these are my favorite yellow lenses and that I can't wait to wear them for a bigger photoshoot! I love how they look on my eyes and how little of my natural eye color shows!
Overall, I am super happy with the service and the product and I do recommend you to try this store out! However, you should propabaly expect not to receive the lens case (I didn't receive it), so make sure you get one!

Pathways & interactions
Disintegrin, conserved site (IPR018358)
Short name: Disintegrin_CS
Disintegrins are a family of small proteins from viper venoms that function as potent inhibitors of both platelet aggregation and integrin-dependent cell adhesion [PMID: 15578957, PMID: 15974889]. Integrin receptors are involved in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions, serving as the final common pathway leading to aggregation via formation of platelet-platelet bridges, which are essential in thrombosis and haemostasis. Disintegrins contain an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) or KGD (Lys-Gly-Asp) sequence motif that binds specifically to integrin IIb-IIIa receptors on the platelet surface, thereby blocking the binding of fibrinogen to the receptor-glycoprotein complex of activated platelets. Disintegrins act as receptor antagonists, inhibiting aggregation induced by ADP, thrombin, platelet-activating factor and collagen [PMID: 12050803]. The role of disintegrin in preventing blood coagulation renders it of medical interest, particularly with regard to its use as an anti-coagulant [PMID: 16918409].
Disintegrins from different snake species have been characterised: albolabrin, applagin, barbourin, batroxostatin, bitistatin, obtustatin [PMID: 12742023], schistatin [PMID: 16101289], echistatin [PMID: 15535803], elegantin, eristicophin, flavoridin [PMID: 14499613], halysin, kistrin, tergeminin, salmosin [PMID: 14661951] and triflavin.
Disintegrin-like proteins are found in various species ranging from slime mold to humans. Some other proteins known to contain a disintegrin domain are:
- Some snake venom zinc metalloproteinases [PMID: 15962120] consist of an N-terminal catalytic domain fused to a disintegrin domain. Such is the case for trimerelysin I (HR1B), atrolysin-e (Ht-e) and trigramin. It has been suggested that these proteinases are able to cleave themselves from the disintegrin domains and that the latter may arise from such a post-translational processing.
- The beta-subunit of guinea pig sperm surface protein PH30 [PMID: 1552944]. PH30 is a protein involved in sperm-egg fusion. The beta subunit contains a disintegrin at the N-terminal extremity.
- Mammalian epididymial apical protein 1 (EAP I) [PMID: 1417724]. EAP I is associated with the sperm membrane and may play a role in sperm maturation. Structurally, EAP I consists of an N-terminal domain, followed by a zinc metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin domain, and a large C-terminal domain that contains a transmembrane region.

FORT WORTH -- Concerned that they were seeing an increase in counterfeit money, managers at the Great Outdoors Sub Shop posted signs warning that $50 and $100 bills would not be accepted.
"Some of these [fake] new $100s look real. We don't want to take any chances because we'd be out that money," said Marco Rosas, manager of the shop on Camp Bowie Boulevard in Fort Worth. "Now we direct anyone with $50s or $100s to a nearby bank to get change."
Authorities say a struggling economy and advancements in counterfeiting technology have not contributed to a noticeable spike in the circulation of bad bills, but there appears to plenty of funny money on the market.
"It's a crime of opportunity," Secret Service spokesman Max Milien said. "That's always been the case."

Since May, Fort Worth police have investigated 15 reports of fake currency.
And though most of the money passed in Fort Worth was fairly low-quality and failed to slip by alert clerks, motivated criminals have found methods of creating bills that fool some convenience store workers, bank tellers and even detector pens.
Sharron Neal, a Fort Worth police spokeswoman, said the most common technique counterfeiters use is washing smaller bills with a cleaning solution that removes the ink, then reprinting the bills in larger denominations.
"Since they [victims] noticed the bills were fake, I would say they are probably poor quality," Neal said. "The good ones tend to go unnoticed."
Not everyone in town has been fooled.
This summer, a bartender at the Rainbow Lounge on Jennings Avenue was given a $100 bill by a woman who was paying for drinks.
"The bartender believed the money felt weird and left the bar area to check out the bill," police were told. "When the bartender saw the watermark of Abraham Lincoln [which corresponds to a $5 bill], she went back to the bar and the female was gone."
The plastic strip embedded in the bill read "FIVE USA."
"It's a habit to look for fakes," said the bartender, Andrea Wilson, who has worked at the Rainbow Lounge for two years. "It was the second fake $100 I've gotten since I've worked here."
Most area police departments do not have officers dedicated to counterfeiting because of the low number of offenses. Generally, the fraud detail investigates such crimes.
The Grapevine Police Department receives about 20 cases annually, most of them $100 bills, Lt. Todd Dearing said. Arrests are rarely made as the counterfeiter has passed the money and is long gone.
Years ago, the department busted a couple of counterfeiters who were working out of a local hotel.
"It was a fairly elaborate setup," Dearing said. "They had a nice printer and good software."
Arlington police also said reports of counterfeiting aren't common.
Dearing said police use advanced methods to verify whether bills are fake.
"It's usually fairly easy to tell," he said. "When we're done, we send the bills to the Secret Service."
The Secret Service is the federal agency responsible for investigating the counterfeiting of U.S. currency.
On a recent visit to the Dallas field office, located in Irving, agents opened a file cabinet filled with money sent from businesses and individuals for verification. Most of the money, the agents said, is real.
But businesses such as banks will send it to them just to make sure.
The Secret Service pays to verify its authenticity, making case files for each bill and, if the it's genuine, returning it. If the money turns out to be fake, whoever sent it in is out of luck.
Many fake bills are poor quality. The ink on really bad ones runs when touched with a wet finger. But they can slide by a harried clerk, and counterfeiters know to target easy prey.
"I'm going to look for kids at fast-food restaurants that are overworked and overwhelmed and taking money without looking at it," Milien said. "I'm going to stand in a 20-person line because I want that guy. He's not paying attention and my success rate will be higher."
Counterfeiters usually make $20 bills because they're easier to pass. Bigger bills get noticed, and smaller bills aren't worth the effort.
One Fort Worth store was sure it had caught some counterfeiters when two young boys showed up with a $1,000 bill to pay for school clothes. Although $1,000 bills are no longer made, this was an old, genuine one their mother had stashed away years ago.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas break. I certainly did. Before the term ended, I was able to meet Dr. Lauren Knott for an interview. Dr. Lauren Knott specialises in the field of Memory. Lauren's PhD topic was on
investigating the recollective experience of remembering and false memory production.
Anyone who studies Psychology at a graduate level knows how popular (and competitive) Clinical Psychology is. Initially Lauren was interested in Clinical and Forensic Psychology. Her dream whilst studying was finding a role where she could merge the two fields. Her work on false memories in her undergraduate degree led her to complete a doctorate on the topic as well.
Lauren enjoyed her university experience, and made a strong social network that she is still in contact with today. She said looking back that her University was very strict and rigid. The challenging aspect was that she didn't have any contact with the lecturers.
"I never said one word or sent one email to any member of staff the whole time that I was there. We didn't interact or speak. "
Luckily, at City, University of London the lecturers are all very friendly and supportive. Lauren agrees that the allowance of communication with lecturers is beneficial to any students' study; and admits that her University environment was not as friendly as it could have been.
After reflecting upon the highlights of her role at City, University of London, Lauren says that there are two major things that she enjoys most. As a Programme Director, Lauren enjoys striving to improve the experience that City students have. She also works on the feedback that arises from student representatives, in order to develop and improve the programme as much as she can. As with any academic, Lauren also enjoys her involvement in research. At the moment, Lauren and her colleagues are writing a book to be published on Memory and Law. She enjoys getting to explore a wide breadth of research: memory law, collaborative memory of jury members, and how this affects their decisions, and also studies on memories from childhood.
As I am currently contemplating whether to complete a Masters, I was interesting in Lauren's opinion on gap years. Lauren suggested that gap years can be beneficial. Sometimes further education may not be something that students can do straight away due to: flexibility and time, or income and their financial situation. However, Lauren was determined to complete her education all in one go.
"I would just be aware that things move fast. Sometimes you need that break, but also you have to think about what your career needs."
Lauren's advice to students:
The world of academia is changing. In my undergraduate degree, a 2:1 or 1 was all you needed to go on to the job you wanted to do. Now it is so competitive. A Psychology degree is a great degree to have due to the transferable skills you gain, but there are so many students with a Psychology degree. So what I suggest is come to University with expectations that you are going to need to get work experience or charity work; whatever it is you need to do. You have to think employability, and not just focusing on your studies. You're coming from A-Levels and University is very different. Academia and University degrees involves a lot of independent study. That's one thing, we are seeing a shift in expectations.

My Thirty Day Water Fast - Day Five
|No, I am not back to looking like this
On Day Five, I was either flying (in a plane) or walking through airports until midnight. And, here is where my fast started to get to me. It wasn't the hunger because, truly, by Day Five it was not there, and it wasn't thinking about food, although that still was there. Rather, it was the weakness I felt when moving about. It is really strange because last time I fasted (okay, I was nineteen years old - see photo at left), I didn't feel that way and buzzed about for all ten days. So I did a lot of reading and I found varying reports of how weak one might feel and some reported weakness in the beginning but it lessened as the days progressed and others apparently spent their entire fast in a hammock; age didn't seem to matter.
And that was my problem. The weakness seriously bugged me and I really noticed it as I crawled to my connecting flight, worried I wouldn't make it to that gate in another state by the time boarding ended. I didn't have any peanuts or cookies or pretzels on the flight and I made it through the day, but I remember looking fondly at a wheelchair as I deplaned that I really wanted to sit in. Back at home, I woke on Day Six to feeling still like 1/4 of a human and although I knew this did not mean I was going to kick the bucket (I know some of you will say...."Oh, your body was crying for food!"), I didn't want to continue to be that weak because I had stuff to do. I wasn't on a prolonged vacation and I couldn't just lay about for the rest of the month, so I decided to break the fast. I did diluted juices, then juice, then fruit. Today I have had a salad.
I am a bit bummed that I didn't get to finish the fast as I wanted. If it hadn't been for the weakness, I think I would have carried on. I don't regret the try, though, as I learned a lot of interesting things about food and my brain's attitude toward it. I think the most fascinating thing I learned is that I too often eat without thinking about why and what; this is what I hope to change. I also find pretty fascinating that life is incredibly boring without food, mostly because our culture is built around food in every single social occasion, which I think is rather a terrible thing. At least when I was growing up, I remember food played a much smaller part and, even when a social occasion did include food, it was often in small proportions. This is something America needs to fix if we want to be truly a healthier population.
Ah, well, on to the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland with my daughter to see Sarah Mclachlan. As I lay out on the blanket listening to her sing (Sarah, not my daughter), I just hope I don't eat an entire bag of Doritos.

Now that my hair is longer, I'm all about dry shampoo and not washing my hair. How does everyone with really long hair do this? My office-mate, Ms. Coach, has supermodel hair way down her back. It takes on a life of its own. It must take an hour to do each morning. As someone used to having a pixie, this is getting to be a rough adjustment and that Dianna Agron haircut is looking cuter by the day.
Considering I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet, I'm trying loads of combinations of products to help my thick, porous hair hold a style, not get heavy, stay clean-feeling and not weigh like I have a ton of stuff on my scalp. It's a tall order, right?
My favorite dry shampoo du jour is Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk Non-Aerosol Spray. I'm talking the squeezey-poof version, not the aerosol version. Here is how this seemingly unwieldly bottle is actually awesome. You close the top and shake the bottle. Then you open the top by turning the cap. Then section off your hair where you want to apply, point the hole in the cap at your hair where you want it to go and squeeze gently. A light mist of dry shampoo will be applied to the area you targeted and not all over the place, as you would think.
It is a white dry shampoo, but blends easily with hair. It makes hair manageable without being too dry and for once, it's hard to over-apply, which is my normal problem with dry shampoo. This has a really light, fresh scent that isn't overpowering, not even a little bit. It seems like it might make a mess, but it actually doesn't. I've actually had this sitting around for a few months now and thought it would be a hot mess to use. Thus, I've avoided it. Turns out it's my new favorite. Even my stylist, a dry shampoo connoisseur, was impressed with how much she liked it.
Check it out on dryshampoo.com and pick it up for $18.00.

The idea of smart cities is a very cool one, but up until recently it hasn't really seemed to be happening on a large scale -- that is until Samsung Electronics and SK Telecom teamed up. The two companies are aiming to create the world's first nationwide LoRaWAN-based network for commercial use in South Korea.
Standing for Long Range Wide-Area Network, Samsung Electronics and SK Telecom's LoRaWAN-based network will be a low-power, long-range, and low-bandwidth networking solution that will augment existing sensors currently blanketing the city. From renewable energy sources to medial purposes and electric vehicle infrastructures, the possibilities rendered by such an expansive network is exciting. South Korea has always been trailblazer in telecom deployments.

Liverpool host Manchester United in undoubtedly one of the biggest matches of the Premier League season so far on Monday night.
Jurgen Klopp's side go into the Anfield fixture off the back of a barnstorming run of form, with five straight wins in all competitions.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils face their arch-rivals in the midst of turmoil, after only three wins in their last seven matches and Wayne Rooney's poor form has threatened to derail the whole club.
Jose Mourinho decided to drop the 30-year-old towards the end of September and United's captain was then left out of Gareth Southgate's England side which faced Slovenia.
Rooney will likely find himself on the bench once again against the Reds on Monday.
It's a big game for Joel Matip…
Joel Matip is already proving to be one of the deals of the summer after an impressive string of performances since signing a pre-contract agreement with Liverpool back in February.
Rather ridiculously, the centre-back joined the Reds on a free transfer and has barely broken into a sweat since signing on the dotted line at Anfield.
However, the Cameroon defender faces a massive test on Monday when he comes up against United's very own summer signing, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The iconic Swedish striker has not scored in the English top flight since finding the net versus Manchester City at the beginning of September.
Ibrahimovic, though, scored the winner in United's Europa League clash with Zorya which suggests he may just be returning to form again.
Likely line-ups…
Liverpool have suffered several injuries scares in the lead-up to the all-important Anfield clash but it looks likely that Klopp will have most of his squad available.
Georginio Wijnaldum, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Nathaniel Clyne are all doubts ahead of the fixture.
However, Klopp has confirmed both Wijnaldum and Lallana are 'not ruled out' of the game and the Reds boss also stated that Lovren and Clyne are 'in the race' to play.
Firmino and Coutinho, meanwhile, are also set to start despite the pair having been away on international duty in South America .
Jose Mourinho's United have picked up their form after three devastating defeats on the bounce in September.
Two points dropped after a frustrating 1-1 draw with Stoke at Old Trafford, however, was the last thing the Red Devils needed ahead of the clash with Liverpool.
United's improvement has coincided with Rooney's omission from the side and he looks set to start on the bench again.
Mourinho may opt to play Rashford from the off which will no doubt excite United supporters.
If you memorise one stat, make it this….
United have the best record of any Premier League club at Anfield, with twelve victories at the ground in their history.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa have only managed six wins at Liverpool's stadium.
Last time they met…
The sides last met in the Europa League back in March which ended in a 1-1 draw, sending the Merseyside outfit into the last eight of the competition.
Their last league encounter came in January when Wayne Rooney's goal in the 78th minute ended up being the winner at Anfield – how times have changed.
Rooney looks certain to continue his stint on the United bench on Monday evening.
From the archives
One of the most memorable clashes between the great rivals was back in 2008/09 when Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard ran riot to help Liverpool to a 4-1 victory at Old Trafford.
Many Reds fans truly believed they were on course to win the Premier League title that season and this win in March was one of the reasons why.
Torres was at his devastating best for the Merseyside outfit and United legend Nemanja Vidic simply could not handle the pace of the Spanish forward.
Fabio Aurelio, Andrea Dossena, Torres and Gerrard were the scorers for Liverpool in the classic fixture.
Metro.co.uk prediction
Both Liverpool and United have only failed to find the net on one occasion so far this season, so we can certainly expect goals at Anfield.
Jose Mourinho's men are threatening to return to their best, off the back of a dismal run of form, but their opponents will be immensely confident going into the fixture after five successive victories.
Liverpool 3-1 Manchester United

I have been writing children's stories since I was a child myself (over 25 years ago!) After several years concentrating on screenwriting, I've once again got the bug for telling children's tales – some of which would ironically make great short animated films.
I would describe these as traditional children's stories, with love and friendship winning out over cruelty and dishonesty. We sadly live in a world where the latter seem inescapable at times. However, I truly believe that traditional stories with such beautiful values can make a difference and remind children of the important things in life.
I grew up influenced by stories like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which were magical but also showed the value of honesty and selflessness. In my own small way, I hope I am able to do the same in my work.

Philodendron 'Gold Bullion'
I have been growing this for about a year now in a pot on the deck in a semi shaded position and noticed this week that some of the leaves are changing colour in response to cooler weather. The leaf veins are developing a delightful pink tinge.
This Philodendron is related to 'Xanadu' and is just as hardy as long as it is given some protection from frost. In a garden situation 'Gold Bullion' could be mass planted under trees as it is able to cope with dry shade and the leaf colour would certainly add brightness and vigour to the garden picture.
It is equally at home as an indoor or balcony plant and its low water requirements means means it can be left unattended for a period of time without looking back.
There does not seem to be any insect or disease problems associated with it either. Ten out of ten.

The Roonie Ranchers' incredibly cool younger brother, Jordan, has the same crafty streak running through him that his older Roonie sisters do. He is a great artist and likes to combine his crafts with his love of disc golf. For a while, he was dyeing discs with amazing graphics (I'm going to ask him for some pictures of his dye jobs to post here because they are INSANELY awesome), and in case that wasn't enough, he taught himself how to crochet about 6 or 7 years ago. Patterns don't interest him, though-- he likes to freehand everything.... like this fabulous crocheted disc golf basket!
Here's what a disc golf basket looks like in real life, so you can see how perfect Jordan got the details:
Correct me if I'm wrong, Jordan, but I believe that he made this crocheted disc golf basket as a Christmas ornament. It probably looks perfect hanging on a tree, pretending it's out in nature as all disc golf baskets should be.
He also made a disc golf bag that he captured on YouTube. So. Frickin'. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Jordan rules.

The move would give Merc a performance differentiator against Lexus and BMW, who are pursuing fully automatic eightswappers. According to the report, usual transmission suspects Getrag or ZF will be the most likely for the project. We suggest Shimano. [via Motor Authority]

LONDON (Reuters) - British singer Pete Doherty was charged on Tuesday with possessing cocaine in connection with an inquiry into the suspected overdose death of heiress Robyn Whitehead.
The 31-year-old Babyshambles frontman and former partner of supermodel Kate Moss was one of four people questioned after the January death of the filmmaker, who had been working on a documentary of Doherty at the time.
Two of Doherty's friends were also charged — Peter Wolfe, 42, for supplying and possessing cocaine, and Alan Wass, 29, for possessing cocaine.
Wolfe was widely reported to have been staying at the flat in east London where Whitehead died aged 27.
All three are on bail and due to appear at Thames Magistrates' Court on October 18.
Whitehead was the granddaughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith, founder of The Ecologist magazine, and daughter of 1960s filmmaker Peter Whitehead.

I made a work around in M.U.G.E.N. with a pause menu and command menu but it would be easier if there was a simple template. Also a way to exit via pause menu. Many times when I play M.U.G.E.N. I play with a controller rather than a keyboard so pressing ESC is just tedious.Hopefully we will get to these parts aswell. Let me finish/clean up the core parts first. There will be a time where I will hear everyone's concerns.

Bolton midfielder Stuart Holden stepped up his return to full-fitness by completing 90 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the npower Championship club's Euxton training base on Tuesday afternoon.
Holden twice featured as a substitute in Wanderers' FA Cup run last month having spent the best part of two years on the sidelines due to serious knee problems.
And the 27-year-old USA international is happy to bide his time on the road to recovery.
"Things are going well," he told Bolton's official website. "The medical team have been keeping a real close eye on my progress. They have got me working to a very detailed and careful training schedule.
"To play the full 90 minutes at Euxton was great. It was another huge step forward for me. I felt good out on the pitch and to play the full game was great. Now I just want to keep on track and keep progressing.
"It was good to be involved in the first team games against Sunderland and Everton. The reception I got from the Bolton fans at both Sunderland and the Reebok was a really special moment for me - it was a great feeling.
"We are sticking to the plan and making sure all the boxes are ticked and that I am at 100 per cent."

Court Throws Out Ark. Property-Tax Measure
A sharply debated initiative that would have abolished property taxes in Arkansas was removed last week from the state's Nov. 3 ballot.
The proposal, Amendment 4, lacked sufficient valid signatures to satisfy the requirements of the state constitution, Chief Justice W.H. "Dub" Arnold of the Arkansas Supreme Court said in a 12-page opinion.
Arkansas education groups breathed a sigh of relief over the decision. According to state estimates, Amendment 4 could have cut $427 million from the $2.1 billion in revenue available to schools in fiscal 1999.
"We will petition for a rehearing and lose," predicted Oscar Stilley, the Fort Smith lawyer who led the initiative drive. "The silver lining is that it gives us some leverage in the legislature."
Arkansas is not the only state that has made property taxes an election-year issue.
South Dakota voters are still set to consider Amendment A, a ballot measure that would bar the use of property taxes to pay for education.
Mary Fulton, a policy analyst for the Education Commission of the States, a policy clearinghouse in Denver, said South Dakota would be the first state to have such a prohibition if the measure passes. "South Dakota doesn't get as much play as a state like California," she said. "But it's a really big deal to the people out there."

Shazam, the mobile app that instantly recognizes songs and TV commercials, has announced a $40-million round of funding led by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim.
The app, which users turn on when they hear a song that they want to identify, said the funding is being headed up by Slim's company, America Movil, one of the world's largest wireless communication firms.
Shazam Chief Executive Rich Riley called the investment a milestone.
"It's a great continuation of the incredible momentum that we have," he said.
Riley said Slim was attracted to invest in Shazam based on the way the company has built out its global brand. Shazam is available to users in more than 200 countries and is available in 33 languages.
"We are thoroughly global," Riley said.

Though Shazam is not profitable, the company said it has generated revenue of $300 million in the past 12 months from song purchases. When users purchase a song from iTunes or other digital stores after tagging it on Shazam, the company gets a cut of the sale.

"White Lined Sphinx" showing at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco
Categories: Exhibitions, News, Original Art Work
Part of the Femme to Femme Fatale: The Feminine in Contemporary Art Caia's latest piece is now showing at San Francisco's Modern Eden Gallery. The 16″x20″, acrylic on wood panel painting is truly a stunner!! Caia summed up her inspiration for this painting so eloquently that we offer this quote:
She represents a strong female presence as well as our human connection with nature. Two themes intertwined, we are all connected and the power of the femme. Her eyes are locked onto the viewer as if to challenge them to look closer, to understand her message. Her feminine beauty is not soft but rather dark and exotic, daring the viewer to enter her world with no guarantee of it being a safe or comfortable place. Moths are amazing animals yet incredibly delicate, too much oil from one's fingertip can be a death sentence for them. We have reached a tipping point in history, humans must stop killing everything and start protecting everything that still exists, we are all connected and we are all in danger of a domino effect of extinction. My femme is a fierce sentinel for all the delicate life we must protect, as well as the messenger.
The sentinel and the messenger indeed!
If you're in the San Francisco area between Sept 17 – Oct 4, drop by Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, make plans to see it in person! This painting in particular looks incredible in person! Inquiries for purchase can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
