Recommended: Vulcan / Hunter
Unlocks: Roughneck skin, Streamline color, Hookzilla color
The Hunter weapon pack will give you a big advantage in this event. Since you don't actually have to worry about holding onto first place in this event, you want as much power as possible for killing. Among the weapon packs available to you, Hunter is the best.
As you approach another racer, slow down and hammer him from behind. Watch out for any rear-firing weapons and use your missiles to shoot at him from an angle. The combination of missiles and machinegun fire should bring down your opponents quickly, letting you take off to reach the next driver.
Once you've got your five kills, start passing other drivers without attacking them. Just focus on driving and building boost meter with power slides to reach the end of the course within the not-so-strict time limit.
Recommended: Demon / Brawler
Unlocks: Jupiter skin, Rampart color, Hookzilla color
Ready your car with the Brawler weapon pack and you'll blast through this event with ease. Just drive right up behind opponents and hold down your machinegun fire while mashing on the grenade fire. The other racers will explode in a matter of seconds, without getting much of a chance to fight back. When one's down, quickly move to the next, looking out for floating arrows that mark your targets.
Again, you're given plenty of time to complete the challenge and earn a Full Auto medal. As long as you don't make any terrible mistakes while driving, you should have no problem making it to the finish in time.
|Grim Reaper
Recommended: Wraith / Brawler
Unlocks: Streamline skin, Outlaw color, Demolisher preset
Third verse, same as the first. With the right weapon pack, you and drive right up behind your opponents and bring 'em down in mere seconds. What makes things even easier here is that most of the other drivers don't have any rear-firing weapons (just smokescreen). Be aggressive and kill quick! (Also be sure to not drive in front of them—their powerful weapons will kill you quick.)
You may eventually catch up to an opponent or two that're armed with some powerful weapons. Keep your distance and fire with your machineguns to bring 'em down. When you've got your five kills, you can focus just on driving and not worry about killing any other racers. However, because your car's armor is so weak, you may find that racers you pass will take you down in an instant. You've got plenty of time in which to complete the race, so don't hesitate to rewind time and kill a rival if he kills you the moment you pass him.

text: Kate is the kind of bride every photographer wants to have, and the kind of friend you should keep close. She has the gentleness of a kindergarten teacher (literally!) and a happy-go-lucky humor that scatters the wedding day stress. She begs you to take her dress to the forest to photograph, hands you a pair of worn-in Toms, casually holds up two purses, shrugs, and asks for your opinion. She knows that these are details, that the real stuff of the day is in the love and in the gathering of two families, and its there where her focus stays. This I admire greatly. She is the kind of human being you feel comfortable around almost instantly, like you two were old pals in another lifetime and she already knows your embarrassing stories and her way around your kitchen cupboards. I watch her laugh until she cries, cry until she laughs, grateful again and again for the permission to be let into these strangers' stories even for a brief moment.

Dialysis – doing your kidney's work for you
Dialysis is a procedure used to replace some of the kidneys' function. This treatment can replace only some basic functions of a normal kidney.
Two of the most important kidney functions – removal of excess body water and removal of waste products that have built up in the blood – are managed by the dialysis treatment.
However, even with this treatment, you will need to play your part in following the proper diet to keep water and waste products at an acceptable level.
Other functions, such as the role the kidneys play in building red blood cells and keeping your bones strong, are managed by medication.
Dialysis options – peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis
The two main forms of dialysis are peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis. Haemodialysis takes place outside the body, while peritoneal dialysis takes place within it.
Both types of dialysis are effective in treating kidney diseases. The choice between them depends mainly on your personal likes/dislikes and lifestyle choices but also on your general clinical condition.
You may have a medical condition that would make one or the other a better choice – your doctor can advise you regarding this.

Tablet PCs strike back
The return of the Tablet craziness echoed with the perusal of "A bitter pill to swallow: the rise and fall of the tablet computer yesterday during my flight.
The article analyzes Tablet PCs as a "product failure". Given that it was written in 2008, it states that it "no longer represented the future of mobile computing", which is funny as people got to back it recently after rumors of an Apple "bigger ipod touch / e-book reader". Yet another "recurring holy grail" as I discussed last year in my introduction to the Lift 2009 conference.
The entire article is a relevant read as it summarizes some good elements about innovation theories (diffusion, ANT...) and take into account the various technical component of Tablet PCs (pen computing, touchable interfaces, etc.). Some excerpts from the article that I found interesting to highlight:
"So why has the tablet computer not been a successful product? In theory, it had it all (...) Yet many of the factors mentioned in the case study as to why certain individual tablet computers had failed are issues which subsequently have been resolved. Clearly, the technical problems which plagued early products such as slow processor speeds and software reliability have been overcome. The compatibility of software means that applications for such computers are far greater in number and, while still not perfect, issues of functionality such as the reliability and accuracy of handwriting recognition software have been greatly improved. The manufacturers currently involved are not start-up enterprises lacking in financial support or backing; and the products are now part of large ranges of computing equipment from well-known and respected companies, and have received marketing support of a suitably high level. (...) it would appear from the technical factors that have been resolved that the only possible barriers left to the acceptance of tablet computers are social ones. The concept of "interpretive flexibility" proposes that different groups of people have different views on the extent to which a particular technology "works" for them. However "natural" a form of communication writing may appear to be, perhaps, as Jeff Hawkins believes, people don't want to write on computer screens, and a pen on a large display is not a good user interface for a computer. The feel of pen on paper is a difficult one to surpass. (...) Another factor could involve the complexity of a personal computer, which is clearly accepted if not desired in a desktop PC. This may not be acceptable in such a portable format as the tablet PC. Slow start-up times, large size and weight, and the compromises inevitable in multifunctional products such as a full computer do not cross over well to situations in which the computer is held and carried around by the user, and constantly turned on and off. (...) It is possible that the semantic associations of tablet computers and the body language employed when using them is an issue. "
Why do I blog this? Because I believe that understanding the reasons of product failure is always fruitful and relevant as a starting point in a design process. Although I am not entirely sure about the reasons explained in the article, it's interesting to see that some of the pain points have been fixed and that the return of Tablets can be explained by different factors: confidence renewed by rumors that an industrial actor such as Apple would go into the field (which may or may also lead to the return of big fishes such as Microsoft and HP), the merging of the e-book and tablet PC metaphor (while 5 years ago the two were a bit distinct), etc.

Acres of mackerel, Spanish and spotties, with marlin and wahoo out a little wider. Good wahoo just northeast of the lighthouse and plenty of mackerel everywhere. Good snapper off the reefs as well and mahi mahi on anything floating. That magic time of the year has finally arrived. Boaties should be aware that the Blue Water Diving Classic is on this weekend out of Woolgoolga so look out for 'diver below' flags.
Beach gutters have settled but still patches of whiting and bream, better gutters are those close to the creek mouths.
Estuaries fishing quite nicely on the rising tide but fairly ordinary on the run out. A number of estuaries have very large populations of tailor over 30cm going in and out on the tide.

Juneau drops devastating 8-7 loss at NW Regional
Posted by Van Williams, ALB Media Director | Aug 8, 2018
From heartwarming to heartbreak, Juneau Post 25 experienced every emotion in a roller-coaster game with Meridian (ID) Post 113 that featured four lead changes and ended in an 8-7 walkoff loss that denied Alaska its first win at the Northwest Regional since 2009.
Idaho scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to spoil an excellent effort by the two-time defending Alaska state champion Midnight Suns, who played well and did so many things right to build a seemingly safe 7-4 cushion.
Credit Idaho for the comeback, but credit Juneau for proving that Alaska can compete at the regional level despite the state's struggles in past years.
The Midnight Suns banged out 11 hits and made only one error. They led 1-0 after the first inning and 3-0 after the second inning. And when Idaho rallied to take the lead 4-3, they bounced back with a four-spot in the fifth inning to take a 7-4 lead.
Going into the final inning, it felt like Alaska's long losing streak finally would end at the Legion regional tournament. It didn't happen - but the loss shouldn't overshadow Juneau's effort and energy on the field.
Zeb Storie went 2-for-5 with three RBIs, Phil Wall was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and Robert Cox batted 2-for-4 with an RBI. Gabe Storie finished 2-for-3 and scored twice.
In Juneau's big fifth inning, Wall doubled in a pair of runs and Zeb Storie drove in two runs with a two-out, two-strike base hit.
Wall, the state tournament MVP, pitched six-plus innings and allowed 10 hits. He was chased in the seventh after hitting the leadoff hitter, walking the next batter and then giving up a double that made it 7-5.
Donavin McCurley entered with runners on second and third and gave up a sac fly and single before striking out the next batter for the second out of the inning. The game ended when Idaho's Charlie Tentinger ripped an opposite-field gap shot to score the winning run from second base.
The loss was just the third for Juneau in 31 games this season. It was also McCurley's first losing decision in a full year, with his last loss coming at last year's Northwest Regional.
Juneau dropped into the loser's bracket of the double-elimination Legion World Series qualifier and will play Thursday at 11 a.m. ADT against the loser of Cheyenne (WY) Post 6 and host Missoula (MT) Post 27.
Watch Juneau play live at this site: mpsn406.com.
The Midnight Suns will try to snap Alaska's 19-game losing streak dating to 2009 when South Anchorage's Post 4 beat Cheyenne 5-4.
This is the second straight year Juneau has been close, losing 3-1 to eventual regional champion Lewiston (ID) at the 2017 tournament behind McCurley's complete-game gem.
Juneau 120 040 0 - 7 11 1
Meridian (ID) 001 300 4 - 8 12 1
Juneau - Wall, McCurley (7) and Cesar. Idaho - Yancey, Lefever (5), Nielebeck (6) and Tentinger. W – Nielebeck. L – McCurley. 2B - 2B - Harrision (ID), Wall (J), Jablonski (ID), Cox (J). 3B – None. HR - None.

Timberdoodle's ReviewExploring Creation with Zoology 3: Land Animals of the Sixth Day
What separates people from apes? How can a Great Dane be related to a Chihuahua? Is there evidence that people and dinosaurs lived at the same time? What should you do if you encounter a bear? How can you tell if a snake is poisonous? Come find out answers to these questions and many, many more with Apologia's Exploring Creation with Zoology 3!
This third book in the zoology series takes students on a safari through jungles, deserts, forests, farms, and even their own backyard to explore, examine, and enjoy the enchanting creatures God designed to inhabit the terrain. Families will discover together the amazing animals from primates to parasites, kangaroos to caimans, and turtles to terrifying T-Rexes--but this safari doesn't end there! Students will also keep a record of where each animal is found on a map and learn to identify animal tracks.
As with all of the Apologia elementary books, students will continue the practice of narration, keeping a notebook of what they have learned, and enjoy many hands-on projects and experiments throughout the course.
About the Young Explorer Series:
When we decided to offer our customers a boxed curriculum, we knew that our eclectic approach to science needed a bit of fine-tuning, so we knew we needed Young Explorer, Jeannie Fulbright's elementary science program. Not only does this in-depth curriculum, with its gorgeous, full-color pictures and captivating, God-exalting text, sparkle in comparison to the mainstream, dry-bones science program, it utilizes what we believe is the most sensible method to teaching science, the immersion approach.
While other science programs, with their yearly superficial overviews, quickly become tedious as children encounter the repetitiveness of topic matters, the Young Explorer science immersion program will allow your family to enjoy the depth and riches that genuine science can give. Most home-taught children who enjoy science are being taught with a science immersion program.
Because this program utilizes a combination of the Charlotte Mason and classical methods, you can count on each Young Explorer book to acknowledge the evidence of Creation, have easy-to-follow lessons that are self-contained, include hands-on activities, and support National Standards of Science. Recommended for ages six through twelve, but written with a fourth-grader in mind, you may find that your older children will enjoy doing the coursework on their own, while younger, less confident readers will prefer parental involvement.
Although the author encourages you to select books based on topics and not grade level, she also favors the following sequence due to the difficulty of the subject matter: Astronomy, Botany, Zoology 1: Flying Creatures, Zoology 2: Swimming Creatures, Zoology 3: Land Animals, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry and Physics.
Every hardback book comes with eye-popping, full-color pictures; recommended activities and projects; and engaging, conversational text.

About a year ago I got my first idea for a long trip. Didn't knew then it was gonna be a thru hike. That idea got to me slowly when I was looking at where I wanted to go and what kind of experiences I wanted. My first plan was to go to Scandinavia for "some" time and after that to New Zealand. After some research and time I decided I want to hike in Scandinavia, but at that moment I had no idea what that really meant.
I don't have any real hiking experience so in June 2016 I went to Sweden to try it out and it went badly wrong, as you can read here. I wasn't prepared at all, I had a general route in mind but the route I had in mind wasn't there. This was a learning experience for me. I didn't had the right gear with me, my plan was far too vague and to be honest, I had a different idea about hiking.
After this trip I started to read a lot more and also watched a lot of YouTube. I've watched countless gear list vids and so on. This was a big help for me personally. The website I learned the most from until this moment is the site from Andrew Skurka. He's basicly a legend when it comes to Thru hiking. I'm also quite analytic so I like his way in preparing a hike.
Unfornately learning will cost money. I've bought gear which I thought was perfect but now I know, it really was a bad mistake! For example, buying a very good, but very heavy backpack.and buying the wrong tent. When I compare the gear that I had with me last year to Sweden and what I've got now, I basicly replaced every piece of gear. The most important factor for this is that I needed lighter gear. As I told in a previous post, the gear you can buy in the shops here in The Netherlands are not lightweight and most of the people selling it don't really understand what you will need.
For me, the most important thing is to go on try outs with your gear and see what will work for you and not. You can do a lot on your computer, but experience the best way to get a real feel for it. I've done multiple overnight trips and a number of smaller day hikes.
In less then 3 months I'll fly to the Nordkapp and until that moment I will keep learning. Also I'm pretty sure that during my thru hike I will make lot's of mistakes. The thing that everybody has to keep in mind that you will have to learn from your mistakes.

Well, Paul Kimmel, longtime enterprise application developer and author of
the new book LINQ
Unleashed for C# (Sams Publishing, 2008), has had a hair club moment
of his own. Only in Kimmel's case, it's over the Language Integrated Query (LINQ)
data access technology introduced as part of .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio
Kimmel, you see, was more than a little skeptical about LINQ when he first
heard of the technology. To his mind, LINQ couldn't fix what was already wrong
with SQL, which he felt lacked the simplicity and consistency of natively object-oriented
code. But when he set to work to write LINQ Unleashed for C# (in part,
he said, to get a "continuing education"), something funny happened.
"I just decided to give LINQ a second look, and as I started to explore
and use it, I realized it was a well-conceived extension of the architecture
and tightly integrated," Kimmel said. "They really didn't just glom
this on here. It was really an evolutionary progression of features and capabilities."
Today, Kimmel is using LINQ in a limited fashion in some of his enterprise
development projects for Electronic Data Systems (EDS). But he expects that
we'll all be seeing a lot of LINQ in the future. The benefits, he said, are
just too great to ignore, especially when developers are struggling with so
many different data access approaches.
"Once you know how to do a left join or how to use aggregation or something
like that, it is pretty much the same, regardless of the technology you are
hitting," he said. "That homogenization of knowledge, where I have
to learn one set of grammar for all these different technologies, is a tremendous
lever for what I need to learn to be productive in the enterprise."
Kimmel said it will be some time before LINQ gains widespread adoption. After
all, the industry is still waiting for LINQ to Entities to emerge in its final
form. But Kimmel thinks the technology could help attract developers to .NET.
"The LINQ technology has so many useful tools surrounding it that most
developers are going to be interested, and it may be the thing that moves the
VB6 guys to .NET," Kimmel said, noting: "Nothing is going to get the
FoxPro folks out."
Are you a LINQ skeptic, and if so, why? E-mail me at email@example.com
and let me know what you think is wrong -- or right -- about LINQ.

For the first time in years, I have new modelling photos to share!
A few weeks ago I did a photoshoot with Scott Murdoch of Five by Five Photography, and he sent me the pictures the other day. I'm thrilled with them! I've uploaded a few to my Modelling page, but I'll post some of my favourites here.
My dear friend Elana Steingart was gracious enough to do my makeup for the shoot, and she did a fantastic job.
Hope you enjoy!

Baking cakes is pretty much our specialty :) We've been doing it, just for fun and for family birthdays, for quite some time now. When we got this awesome cake stand and dome from our grandma we were super pumped. We loved the simple design of the stand but we thought that it needed a little something to make it look really good sitting out on the counter or for use at a party.
Here's what you need:
- cake stand with dome
- masking tape
- x-acto knife
- printed letters (or you can hand draw them)
- glass paint
- paintbrush
- cutting board (helpful but optional)
Here's what we did:
- We printed out the word "YUM" on a piece of card stock.
- Next, on our cutting board, we overlapped several pieces of masking tape, large enough to fit our letters.
- We traced our letters on the masking tape and then using the x-acto knife we carefully cut out them out.
- Then peeled the masking tape up from the cutting board and placed it on the dome where we wanted it.
- Using the glass paint and paintbrush, we put several layers of the color on. (We accidentally got a transparent paint, but after putting on several layers and making the paint have a texture from our brush, we really like the results.)
Happy Friday y'all! :)

Winter Evening 2016
This was a banner year for tutorial performances at our annual Winter Evening! Auditions began before Thanksgiving, and all the hard work culminated in an amazing evening of student acts. This year we broke records for the number of middle school courses represented, the number of STEM courses represented, and for overall attendance at the event! The food was delicious, the decorations elegant, and while the acts ranged from funny to poignant to educational, they were all very entertaining.
Special thanks to the abundance of volunteers who made the night such a success, to our instructors who helped facilitate such creative acts, to our students (and special guest actors) for sharing their talents, and our audience members who braved the snow to support the event. It was an evening to remember!

The Homer Opera House to perform "The Best Christmas Pageant, Ever!"
Grant Alexander
The Homer Opera House will be performing Barbara Robinson's "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" on December 10, 11, 15, 16, 17 & 18 at the Homer United Methodist Church. Because many of the youths involved are performing at a Christmas concert at the local school, they WILL NOT BE performing on Friday, December 9, but instead will have an additional performance on Thursday, December 15 at 730 p.m. All Friday and Saturday night shows are at 730, while the two Sunday performances are at 230 in the afternoon.
In addition, The Homer Opera House has already begun some improvements to its major theatre upstairs, but will be busy with that through the winter. They still are letting the local community help them to sustain and use this gem of a building, the pride of Homer, Illinois, by offering sponsorships of ceiling tiles that need to be replaced at $25 each (at HomerOperaHouse,com).
But in the interim the Homer United Methodist Church has graciously offered their sanctuary as a performance space for this delightful children's play about a group of rowdy kids who take over a Christmas Pageant. Bailey Burnett of Urbana, Illinois, will be the main character of Mrs. Bradley who gets drafted to direct this play, for the first weekend, and Valerie Lasam will be the main part the second weekend. Riley Miller of Homer will be Beth the narrator of the play, while Brandon Moore will play her father and Owen Ashbrook of Homer will be her brother, Charlie. The Herdman family will be played by Quinn Powers, Joel Bear, Aden Ashrook, Savannah Gilliland,Amaya Duzan, Adena Paul and Aubrey Hallett all of Homer, and Joey Royer of St. Joseph, and Liana Reichlin of Urbana. Other players include Rowan Denmark-Collins of Homer as Elmer the minister's son, and Sarah Dow of St. Joseph and Skyla Ahlden of Oakwood as the snotty Alice in the play.
It is a fun-filled and ultimately heart-warming play that will delight all ages. Tickets, as usual at the Opera House, now performing at the Methodist Church, are $8.00/ $7.00 for students and senior citizens/ and $5.00 for those under 12. Go to HomerOperaHouse.com. or call 493-6175.

Dear world,
In the past few months, L and I have been to a few weddings in Italy, which is quite unusual for us. It feels like all our friends decided to wait until 2018 to get married – or rather that since we are now back from Australia, we are closer to home and can finally participate to those lovely social gatherings.
The weddings were all awesome and they were all in different places around the country. One was at a villa by the sea, another one was in a field, one was almost on the beach and my sister's one was in a wine cellar. We had really good food, we drunk good wine and we danced all night. We also took the chance to visit places we've never been to before, explore some hidden corners of our country and spend some time on the road again.
Weddings are magical, the atmosphere is usually relaxed, most people are in a good mood and there's no need to hurry as everything has already been planned. As a guest, you just have to enjoy the day, forget about your busy life at home and have some good wine with old and new friends.
On two occasions, in particular, we already knew most of the guests, but on the other two weddings we've been to, we only knew the bride and the groom (and one other guest,
who was thankfully sitting at our table). We managed to have fun at all four anyway and because we are now feeling like wedding experts, I'll share with you what I've learnt about managing expectations and most of all having fun.
Firstly, I'd say: don't travel solo.
Italian weddings tend to last one whole day. We've learnt that there's typically a buffet where you can drink the first glass of spritz or prosecco of the day and eat your starters. After one hour and a half, you normally go and sit at your table, where you have some warm mains (typically one pasta, one risotto, meat and/or fish). Because there are a few courses, it's ok to leave the table for a short walk outside if you need to stretch your legs. Finally, there's the cake (and the buffet with desserts), followed by some dancing and a few games.
To me, being there with L was a huge plus because I don't normally talk for more than half an hour/one hour to a person I've just met. However, I can talk at length for a whole day to poor L. Having someone I enjoy talking to who doesn't bother listening to me for 12 hours was a real bonus.
Take your time when it comes to talking to other guests
At the first wedding I went to, I almost felt the pressure of getting to know new people. There are so many guests, you wish you could get to know them all. The problem here is that the relatives of the two families will most probably want to spend their time talking to each other to make the most of that chance of being together once again. They don't normally pay attention to guests who are not family-related.
On the other hand, those who are just acquaintances will be looking out for new people to meet,
especially after a glass of wine. It may not be too easy to grasp who's who straight away so I normally give myself some time, enjoy the first buffet talking to my plus one and observe what's going on around me, then use the breaks in between courses to get to know other people. There's a good chance that I'll find someone interesting to talk to at my table anyway.
At my sister's wedding, on the other hand, I quickly checked who would be sitting at my table. That's because being part of the family of the bride, I already knew quite a few guests and I didn't want to spend the time at the first buffet talking to the same people I was going to share the table with. You don't want to deplete all your conversation starters too early to then sit down and stare at your uncle and auntie for half an hour, not saying a word.
What am I going to talk about with all these other guests?
Anything, really. People love to be entertained and to hear stories from strangers so go ahead, talk about anything and they'll listen. I do talk about anything: my latest holidays, how I met the bride or the groom, what I do at work (maybe I won't talk about that at length though), what are the plans for my following weekends or what music I listen to. I then try and ask as many questions as I can and yes, it requires being bold but it's a good way to discover more about the other person and have a laugh as well.
Also, at Italian weddings guests do not usually give a speech. This means that when you sit down at your table, there won't be anyone to listen to. The conversation is really up to you and the other few lucky guests sitting next to you. Don't be shy, people will be thankful to anyone who's doing the talking.
Forget about time and have fun
I love parties, I love good food and a glass of wine. Weddings can be long if you are anxious, nervous or stressed about something that is not related to the event. If you decide to go to an Italian wedding, consider that day as gone. You'll join a sort of time bubble where everyone is happy and relaxed. Take a big breath and do the same: relax, seize the day. Guests would normally start leaving the party once the wedding cake is cut anyway, that is at least five hours after the starters. And that's normally when it starts to get exciting as people start dancing or playing games!
.Each wedding is different and magical in its own way and I used to think they were boring when in fact I can say I've enjoyed myself a lot this year. Now I can't wait for the next one…
What about you, what do you enjoy the most when you attend a wedding?

Three basic oils
by Katrina Fajardo
Katrina is a Knowledge + Insights manager for a potato manufacturer (aka, #friesallday). When she isn't doing groundbreaking research on delicious fry toppings, she is teaching yoga or cycle at The Dailey Method, purposefully body-rolling during any Beyonce or Drake jam, and enjoyng the finer, nerdy things in life, like Doctor Who (she still can't figure out if the 10th or 11th doctor is her fave). She starts her MBA program this summer, so tag her in must-have grad school stationery on Instagram.
My skin was never a point of pride for me for most of my early life. Having eczema, weird tan lines that seemed to last for years (and yes, I did and do use sunscreen), and the worst – acne, had me mad for any and all remedies to have better skin. I will say, looking back, that I focused heavily on my acne. To an excessive extent.
My acne began in middle school and the early 2000's was not great for pre-teen facial skin health. All I can remember is how god damned dry I forced my face to be, thinking any moisture or oil would send me into another breakout. Remember Noxzema face pads? I do. They burned my face but that was the sign that they worked. Proactive? Luckily I wasn't suckered into their auto-renewal debacle, but I used their products with a hope that my flaky skin meant that I was like a snake and my next layer was acne-free. My dry, but acne-prone, complexion followed me into college, where the cold Chicago winters made the dryness obsession even worse.
The madness for an acne-free life through moisture-less means finally ended after college. Better hydration habits and better medications (see birth control for positive effects on hormonal acne) gave my face the boost in needed. But, this is the part of the story where I realized oil was my friend. I finally stopped worrying and embraced facial oils. I discuss three types of oils that can get the bourgeoning face oil enthusiast a head-start.
My gateway facial oil was a fancy bottle of Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate (1 oz, $46 Nordstrom.com). I first tried it in my early 20s as a sample and the effects from using it for just a few days were enough for me to walk into the Kiehl's on Michigan Ave. and buy a full sized bottle. This oil is used at night and I instantly noticed that it was starting to repair my dry skin –without that sting from some drugstore face lotions. Once it was part of my nighttime strategy, my face felt hydrated and even my foundation was "grabbing" to my skin easier, making for better Facebook profile pictures (this was like, 2011 – Snapchat was but a pervy dream).
If you're thinking, lady – I am not about to pay $50 for one ounce of fancy oil… well then why are you reading this post? But, you've already invested time and reading into this, so let me talk to you about coconut oil. Messiest but most effective eye and lip stain remover I have used. Not to mention, if it remains on your lips it doesn't taste like a bad chemical reaction. Do not break the bank for this product! Just stand in obscenely long line at Trader Joe's where a 16 oz. jar of their Organic Coconut Oil sells for around $6.
Finally – everyone needs a good cleansing oil. I read about these as Korean skin care started to make waves in American beauty aisles. I was in LA a few years ago and found myself in a Nature Republic and picked up the Forest Garden Olive Oil version. I now use cleansing oils regularly. Lather the cleansing oil on a dry face and this will gently breakdown eye makeup, clear your pores, and leaves your skin truly smooth and clean. While Nature Republic was my first love of cleansing oils, I've found this product at Asian supermarkets, Ulta, and even on clearance at Target (I stocked up).
TL;DR – oil is your friend. Embrace it, use it, and stock up on it if you see it on clearance at a mass retailer.

The remedy for your creative decline...
One of the core styles of TRG Communities is to create imaginative places with inspiring streetscapes, home styles, pocket parks, and amenities. The fruit of creating imaginative places is that it encourages our community members to get outside and walk! Many of our community residents enjoy the perks of being able to walk to the park, church, or even a neighbor's home. We have already seen that walkable communities are healthier and safer places to raise a family. New research may also suggest additional benefits.
A new study from Stanford University has found that walkable communities may be the perfect remedy for your writer's block or be an extra booster for your imagination! The research found that participants who were walking generated more creative ideas compared to those who were sitting. They also found that walkers generally had more thoughts and were more talkative. This may help explain why the new creative class is often found in many of these inspiring and walkable communities. These folks may not be more creatively capable, but are at a distinct advantage because they have convenient and inspiring walkable places to boost their creativity.
It is exciting to know our walkable and inspiring communities encourage our families to be safer, healthier, and now more creative. So get out there and take a walk!

We've been quiet on our news page of late but not quiet in any other respect! On Monday we ran our first large scale assessment simulation of the season with the wonderful Manchester Fashion Institute at the magnificent Etihad Stadium.
If you follow us on LinkedIn or twitter, you may have seen our enthusiastic coverage of the event on the day. What you won't see is the amount of work that goes into preparing for events of this scale:
Design of relevant materials
Stakeholder meetings
Venue visits (not a hardship to be fair when the venue is as cool as the Etihad!)
Health and safety audits
Student briefings
Assessor briefings
Managing student queries
THE SCHEDULE – big letters for a big job – you would not believe how long it takes to get this finalised!
Printing and packing up assessor packs
Preparation of student feedback packs
Scoring of application forms
Setting up the venue
On the day itself, there is always a slight fear that we have forgotten something but this was our fourth year of running the simulation for MFI and we all agree it just keeps getting better. Assessors comment that it is well organised and slick and the students receive individual schedules which show them their agenda for the day.
As the students start to arrive, nerves are evident on their faces. Most of them haven't experienced an assessment centre before, certainly not at graduate level anyway. They don't really know what to expect and often feel anxious. One of my favourite times at these events is right after the first exercise. The energy in the main suite is high as students realise that actually their first exercise wasn't as bad as they were expecting and you can see them start to visibly relax and enjoy the day. As they finish the last exercise, there is relief and satisfaction in the air and they are eager to get their feedback.
An observation I have of students from this faculty is that they are massively talented and creative (students from the Buying & Merchandising course were my top pick for these schemes when I was recruiting for John Lewis) but they can lack confidence and that is what the assessment simulation programme is about. It's giving them the knowledge and experience of the assessment centre process so they feel able to apply for placement and graduate schemes and compete effectively with other students. After all practise makes perfect!
The majority of students we met on Monday were excellently prepared and really made the most of the experience. I am excited to see the impact the programme has on placement statistics this year and equally excited to work with the students attending next year.
The team are now finalising the last preparations for our largest assessment simulation yet – over 1000 students at Watford Stadium in a couple of weeks. We then head to Canterbury and Lincoln and possibly a couple of others we hope to announce soon!

Music renaissance part two and Joel McHale (OR: disconnected thoughts on a cozy afternoon at home while the baby is napping)
I've been listening to the song "Daylight" by Matt and Kim a bunch on my iPod while I'm running and, yeah, I know that probably everybody who heard that song played in the ads for the NBC show "Community" downloaded it, and that it's not cool or novel to like it so much, but I can't help myself. Catchy, upbeat music has been where it's at for me the past few months, and while I'm merely inching forward - slowly - in my quest to find worthwhile new music, I am, indeed, inching. The song has the added bonus of causing me to, happily, think of Joel McHale (despite the fact that I don't really like "Community" and am glad he's still got "The Soup"), who I am a little bit in love with, and before you go saying anything, J, need I remind you of the adoration heaped upon a certain business and finance reporter every single weekday morning?

Three Reasons Matthew Stafford Should Start Sunday
1. I believe he gives the Lions a better chance to win. The ball comes out a lot faster and defenses don't crowd the line of scrimmage as much with Stafford at QB as Daunte Culpepper.
2. He needs to play at Green Bay, where the Lions haven't won since 1991, to gain the ultimate road experience.
3. It would give him opportunity to establish himself as the Lions' offensive leader. It might lead to confusion if Culpepper were to start this game entering the bye week.
Random Thoughts
- Maybe it's not such an advantage Michigan State isn't playing Ohio State this season. It won't be if the Buckeyes run the table in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes still have to win at Penn State and Michigan. For the Spartans, the game at Minnesota could be difficult. A night game at Minnesota outdoors on Halloween? That just sounds scary. Then again, the Gophers might not be in the best way after back-to-back road games at Penn State and Ohio State. And Minnesota has already lost a couple games in its new stadium.
- I like everything about the Phillies over the Dodgers in the NLCS except one key element - the Dodgers have much, much better bullpen.
- Everything Alex Rodriguez did in the ALDS won't mean a thing if he doesn't come through now.

Accountholders must provide their contact details for notifications during online transactions.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has updated its E-Payments User Protection Guidelines to clarify that the guidelines do not override customers' instructions to their financial institutions on transaction notification thresholds for e-payments, an announcement revealed.
Under the guidelines, financial institutions (FIs), such as banks, are expected to provide notifications to their customers for all e-payment transactions. These notifications allow customers to monitor e-payment transactions, and report unauthorised transactions promptly to their financial institutions.
The account holder of a protected account should therefore provide the responsible FI with contact details as required in order for them to send the account holder transaction notifications. Where the protected account is a joint account, the account holders should jointly give instructions on whether the responsible FI should send transaction notifications to any or all the account holders.
"It is the account holder's responsibility to enable transaction notification alerts on any device used to receive transaction notifications from the responsible FI, to opt to receive all transaction notifications for all outgoing transactions of any amount made from the account holder's protected account, and to monitor the transaction notifications sent to account contact," MAS underlined, adding that financial institutions may assume that the account holder will monitor such transaction notifications without further reminders or repeat notifications.

The agency further noted in its revamped guideline that financial institutions must explain and highlight the duties of the account holder with regard to the liability framework and how any relevant claim by an account holder will be resolved. Financial institutions are also encouraged to provide transaction notifications for payments to the account holder's protected account as a matter of good practice to provide consumers with a fuller view of their e-payments.
The guidelines however, did not address situations where a customer chooses to receive fewer notifications of transactions that are above specified thresholds and of certain payment types.
In response to customer feedback, MAS has updated the guidelines to clarify that customers can continue to set their preferred transaction notifications even after the guidelines take effect on 30 June 2019. "As these preferred notification settings result in fewer notifications sent to the customer, there may be implications on his ability to monitor for unauthorised transactions and his liability for such transactions," the agency said in a statement.

And whatever we couldn't see, we created.
How did we used to behave in the dark?
It's a temporary night like air in a mattress
and all our former hearts deflate.
So with these street clothes we go outside
and what happened? We forgot to kiss
by accident, impatience. In the flagged cab,
it felt like church and we lived with no worship,
just sermon and stain glass. A lot of weekends.
A lot of return in the empty hours, flipping
a light switch that turns off all the houselights
and turns them on, and turns them on, and turns them on.
Brian Wiora is an MFA candidate in Poetry at Columbia University, where he serves as the Poetry Editor for Columbia Journal. His poems have appeared in Rattle, Light Journal, Rainy Day Magazine, and other places. Besides poetry, he enjoys listening to classic rock music, performing standup comedy, and traveling.

Do you love to go camping in the summer? Do you go camping every few weeks in the woods throughout the summertime?
If so, your tent may take a beating throughout the camping season. You'll need to take care of your equipment once your camping trip is over. Check out our top five tent maintenance tips below!
Cleaning is Vital for Tent Maintenance
If you want to keep your tent looking great, start by setting it up and cleaning it with a solution of mild soap and cool water. Rinse the tent with water and let it dry completely before putting it away.
Avoid using the washing machine or dryer because it may damage the seams of your tent. Use a soft cloth to clean the poles and remove dust or debris.
Use some water to clean the zippers as well to keep them from wearing out.
Remove Mildew and Mold with an Enzyme Cleaner
If your tent has discoloration and a negative smell, the fabric may have mildew or mold all over it. These are microorganisms that may be growing across the fabric of your tent.
You can use an enzyme cleaner to remove the mold and mildew from your tent. Be careful not to scrub too much since it may damage the tent material and remove the UV or waterproofing protection.
Remove Tree Sap from the Fabric
There are specific steps you can take to remove tree sap from your tent. Use an ice cube to rub over the tree sap. This will harden the debris and you may be able to peel it off yourself.
You can also place paper bags on the area and run an iron over it. The tree sap should then transfer to the paper.
Seal the Seams of your Tent
To keep the seams of your tent protected, use a sealer like the Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or the McNett Outdoor SeamGrip.
When sealing the seams, do so in a ventilated location. Lay the tent out flat and make sure the seams are taught when applying the sealer.
Anything that could be exposed to the elements like rain or debris on the ground should be sealed. The roof, on the other hand, will likely not need any sealing. Apply the sealant on the inside and outside of the seams.
Air Dry your Tent after Camping Trips and Cleaning
The more time your tent is spent drying, the stronger and in better shape your tent will be. Set up your tent indoors or in a shady spot outdoors. If there isn't enough space in your home or in your yard to set up your tent, drape it or hang it up to dry off.
Before you store your tent, make sure that it is completely dry. Otherwise, your tent's fabrics may grow mildew, so be sure your tent is totally dry. Store your tent in a cool, dry place after it is air dried.
Do you have any questions or perhaps suggestions about tent maintenance especially after a camping trip? Then please feel free to comment below.

Working with any Ad Agency India can be a potential nightmare if you are not careful enough. You should always keep in mind some essential things to make a success of your advertising campaign. Any media agency in India may promise you the moon when it comes to getting the best possible marketing and promotional results but you need to be really careful here. You should make sure that you have an all encompassing branding solution for your company. Jumping from one vendor to another is an excruciating process and will only eat into your time and mental reserves.
You should always focus on finding the right agency for protecting and showcasing your brand identity. Always go for agencies who can give you a comprehensively tailored package for all your needs. There are always specialist vendors for different areas of operation but sometimes, it is much more viable and cost effective if you have a sole agency partner catering to all your needs. The best possible agency in this case should provide services like in-house media buying and planning, web designing, market research, printing solutions and even public relations. The agency in question should have its own design studios in India which will save you a lot of headaches for sure!

When ruthless soldiers seek refuge in her isolated cabin, they bring with them a captive--an injured spy who threatens to steal her heart.
Jack's mission behind enemy lines to prove that the Mantle between Elsira and Lagamiri is about to fall nearly cost him his life, but he is saved by the healing Song of a mysterious young woman. Now he must do whatever it takes to save Elsira and it's people from the True Father and he needs Jasminda's Earthsong to do it. They escape their ruthless captors and together they embark on a perilous journey to save Elsira and to uncover the secrets of The Queen Who Sleeps.

Book Details
Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope
Series: Earthsinger Chronicles #1
Published by: St. Martin's Press
Release Date: May 1st, 2018
Genre: Young Adult Fiction, Fantasy Romance
Pages: Hardcover, 384 pages
Source: Publisher
Rating: 3/5 Stars
SONG OF BLOOD & STONE by L. Penelope is the first book in the YA fantasy romance series, the Earthsinger Chronicles. This is a story of two outcasts, from opposing nations on the brink of war, who find love but duty threatens to tear them apart. Woven into the story is a lush mythology of magic based on song, the treachery of prejudiced societies in conflict and the strength one finds in owning your own destiny. Mature scenes make this an upper teen read.
The fact that this is a fantasy romance with magic based on song and music immediately grabbed my attention. The cover is gorgeous and I loved its representation of a diverse heroine.
The setting is more difficult to describe as it feels like a mix of genres and time periods. Airships and four-wheeled vehicles mix in with an alternate-dystopian terrain where magic is real but feared. At times it was confusing and I never really got a good grasp for it. I would have liked more world-building details to fill in the gaps.
One of my favorite aspects of the story is the vivid mythology created in SONG OF BLOOD & STONE. This is revealed and parsed out throughout the story, along with chapter headings based on folktales that I found fascinating. A world of Singers and Silents. Magics and no-magics. It is beautifully done; I only wished more of it could have been revealed sooner without any spoils for the overall plot.
The story itself feels much like two plots converging and the book two halves of it. The basis for Elsira and Lagamiri's separation and conflict, along with the concept of the Earthsong magic, are combined with the current growing tensions between these two nations and the ominous rumor of the True Father's (the villain) rising and The Queen Who Sleeps return. Add to this political intrigue and social commentary and you have quite a mix.
The protagonist Jasminda has a warrior's heart. She is kind and strong, with a sharp mind for details. Because of the color of her skin and her affinity for magic, she suffers abuse and prejudice at every turn, yet, she remains compassionate but is not afraid to fight when needed.
Jack is a perfect balance to Jasminda's character, maybe too perfect. The romance is strong and fast between the two and I wished there was more buildup. Heroic, Jack is easy to like with few flaws. I needed more grit from him but I did love the way he was fiercely devoted to Jasminda, torn between duty and love.
In the End
Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope ended being a compelling read with lush mythology, touches of magic, intrigue, and a passionate romance. I enjoyed the story and would recommend it to those readers looking for a lighter fantasy.

For our final project we created an interview video, shooting the interview at school. My partner and I chose to shoot a video of Mrs. Behr's Principles of Engineering class working on their projects. We interviewed the teacher, and shot B-Roll of Mrs.Behr working with students. Then we edited the video in final cut pro. In final cut pro we made sequences of wide, medium, and tight shots. The video started with a natural sound, then transitioned into the interview, then sequence, then interview, then sequence, then interview, then ended with natural sound. We started the audio fading in and faded out the sound to end it. We added a title.
Final Project
NewscasT Reflection
I felt this project went well for me and my partner. I did struggle a bit with writing the news briefs, but got better as the project went on. I also needed to improve on my speaking skills in front of the camera. The final newscast looked and sounded much better than the first time we practiced, as we improved.
News Project
I learned about how to take an interview and edit one in iMovie.Filming an interview involves many tasks. Finding an expert to provide information is essential to a good news story. A good interview shoot capture the natural sound in eye setting of your story. The interview should feel like a conversation. The interview should contain open-ended questions to allow the person being interviewed to give detailed information for the answer. The interviewer should try not to interrupt the person being interviewed, and make time for the interview, so the person does not feel rushed Editing in iMovie allowed me to add titles, transitions, and move around clips to create an edited project. In iMovie I was also allowed to move around sounds so that I can have a sound looping over several videos.I had to leave out some footage to create the final product.The process took me around two hours to complete. In total, I had around 3-4 minutes of footage, but I ended up with a video that lasted about a minute and a half.My greatest success was being able to find a visitor who was willing to give an interview without notice, and a part-time librarian also.My biggest challenge was trying to film an interview in a quiet space like a library.
Editing Reflection
I learned about the process of editing with iMovie. iMovie comes with a lot of editing features within the app. The app allows you to mix in different forms of media: sound, images, videos, when creating an iMovie project. iMovie also allows you to add transitions also.YOu can also mix in several iMovie projects together to create a new one.
Interviewing REfleciton
I learned about how to give an interview with a camera. Remember that an interview is a conversation.Make time and try not to rush the interview. Focus on the speaker with your eyes. Take location into consideration. Ask open-ended questions like "Tell me about…".Tell your interviewee to say their name and spell it, so you can get it for graphics later.Gather compelling sound bites to enhance the final product.
Sound Reflection
I learned how sound enhances a video. Recording natural sound, sounds that are made in the environment you are filming in can add character to a story. Even science can be a natural sound. It is important to get close to your natural sounds, so that you can hear it when you play it back on your device.
Visual stortytelling reflcection
I learned about how to tell a story with a video. A video should have a beginning, middle, and end. A video should show what the people in the video are talking about. A video should have compelling soundbites. A good video may have some twists or reveals.
Shooting tips Reflection
I learned about B-Roll, which is the video you use the capture the environment around your subject. B-Roll gives information like where the video was captured, what time, and details about the subject. I also learned tips on taking videos with iPad.Video should be shot in good lighting situations, and should be taken
REsearch Reflection
I learned about the possibilities of mobile journalism. Mobile journalism allows the average person to communicate information to the Internet using a mobile device.There are apps available that can help people do this. There is also equipment to enhance the video, allowing people to film from different heights and angles. Although some information can be false, mobile journalism can provide people with unique images or video that you may not see on television or news sites.
Iam Video
I went with a unique approach in my Iam Video not including one picture of myself. For the most part the video, can give people an idea of me and my personality. However, I feel the video may have included some blurry pictures.
Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.

It Is Not Hard To Reduce Weight Using These Tips!
Being http://www.amazon.co.uk/Probiotic-1030-Probiotics-Supplement-Digestive/dp/B01BZC1QWM/keywords=bifidobacterium+and+lactobacillus in great shape is a goal we should all strive to achieve. Our fitness tips will give you the latest and greatest information, keep you in the know and up to speed on what you should be doing. Our tips will help you reach the fitness goal you have always wanted to achieve.
Learning to dance is a great way to get more exercise into your life. Dancers are known for having some of the fittest bodies in the world and this is not by coincidence. Dancing requires incredible core strength, as well as, the stamina to get through a tough routine. Even if you will never be a professional dancer, learning to dance is a fun way to incorporate physical fitness into your free time, as well as a fun way to meet new people.
Do not do more than an hour of weight training. In addition to that, your muscles begin to weaken after one hour of continuous weight lifting. Power your lifting workout down after an hour.
No matter what your schedule is, make time for exercise. Now this doesn't mean that you have to be able to make it to the gym each and every day. Just make sure that you are getting some movement in every day, whether that's a walk at your lunch break, playing with the kids at the park or doing an exercise video before bed. Make a commitment to move your body every day.
If you're going to be using weights, start small in the beginning. Your smaller muscles will get tired before your larger ones, and it also makes a lot of sense to use small dumbbells before using big ones. That way, when you move to working out the larger muscles, your more delicate muscles can take a break.
By joining a program or getting a video exercise guide one can learn new techniques and get fresh work out ideas. Learning new exercise strategies can improve results greatly as the body is being subjected to something different. A new technique learned from a program can increase fitness to another level.
Try purchasing a pedometer to keep track of how many steps you take in a day. It is recommended that you should take 10,000 steps per day. If you are not getting this many in, you should work to increase the number. This can help you with your overall weight loss. It is also interesting to see how much you actually move during the day.
You can improve your jumping height by doing a simple jumping exercise. Stand on an 8 inch high step and step off backward using both of your feet. When your toes hit the ground, jump forward back onto the step. The key is to press off as quickly as possible as soon as your toes hit the ground. Do at least three to five sets of 10-20 of these to improve the speed and height of your vertical jump.
Do not make TV your primary source of fun and enjoyment. Do activities that require you to get up and move around. Play a sport like tennis or be a troop leader. You can combine charitable works with being active and losing weight. Work at a soup kitchen or run a marathon for a cause.
If you want your fitness program to succeed, surround yourself with other people who also make working out a priority. You will be motivated by their successes, and you can learn from their failures. Enthusiasm is often contagious; if your friends and family members are excited about the results they are seeing, you will feel the same way.
If you want to become better at hitting a softball, you should try playing Foosball. Foosball, also called table soccer, is a table game in which a ball is moved by controlling rods that are attached to player figurines. Playing Foosball on a regular basis will help you improve your hand-eye coordination, which will greatly assist you in hitting a softball.
In any kind of football, most people have trouble trying to shake their defender when going out to catch the ball. A good tip to do this is to stay as close as possible to him, then shorter your strides to allow you to cut in and out easier to catch the ball.
Try engaging in dips during exercise. Dips are an amazing exercise that targets your chest, triceps, and shoulders. There are a number of places that you can perform this exercise. You can place two benches appropriately and use them to do the dips between them. To increase the effectiveness of your routine, add weights when doing your dips.
One of the best security measures that you can take if you are into lifting, is to protect your neck. Neck injuries can set you back a while and could have devastating effects on your performance. When lifting, try not to overdo it, so that you can stay as healthy as possible.
Taking into account the things that you just learned in this article, hopefully you can see that being fit and in shape are not all that far off. It is very realistic that you can become as healthy and in shape as you want to be. Using these ideas to get you started, you should have no problems getting to your goal.

Giving ThanksPosted: November 24, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 Comment
These days, it's easy to make a list of negative things in the world (hard to resist starting with our new president's list of candidates to fill his cabinet) but as attractive as that exercise is, I'm not going there today. Instead, on the eve of this holiday, I offer a list of gratitude:
To Skyla and Weston, who fill my days with light, and still want to fish with their Old Man; To my mom, dad, brother and extended family near and far; Old friends–from Bainbridge, Seattle, and Olympia to Rockaway Beach, Corvallis, Terrace, Ventura, the Rockies, the Outer Banks and beyond–who I love so much I can hardly believe we aren't related by blood. To new friends and adventures ahead. To heroic First Nations fighting to protect fish and water at Lelu Island, the Skeena, and Standing Rock. To a yellow lab named Halo who reminds us to find happiness every minute of every day. To cold, clean water and big, wild, chrome fish fresh from the sea.
I am thankful for health, happiness and good luck, for opportunities to work for the good of our planet, for the words of Jim Harrison, Tom McGuane and Brian Doyle, for the taste of spring Chinook and wild ducks, elk, deer, for time on the water and in the woods making memories with family and friends… It turns out, this list could go on much longer than the list of negatives that's been floating through my mind these last few months, and for that, I am truly thankful. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Peace.
