March Madness grabs the fan by the throat and doesn't let go until three weekends of thrill, chills and spills are complete…with the canned final call and Luther Vandross-voiced video montage providing the exclamation point. The McDonald's Shamrock Shake also takes the believers hostage for 2-3 weeks (depending on how much green dye your participating location has)…and it is one beautiful journey. Minty Goodness along with a box of Tagalongs and a bracket? Be still my heart. For those who don't know if your local McD's offers this seasonal treat, check out "www.shamrockshake.com". You'll thank me later…
Georgetown (17-13, 8-10 Big East)– the Hoyas missed a chance to finish .500 in the league while also scoring their second top five win in less than a week… turning the ball over 18 times (same amount as the earlier matchup) in a 77-59 loss to the Wildcats. Just how good is Villanova? This team sweeps both games from Gtown for just the second time (granted, there were some Big East years where they met just once)…had already wrapped up its second ever outright Big East Championship (1982) and tied the 2006 team (#1 seed that lost to eventual champ Florida in the Regional Finals) for second-most ever wins (the 2009 team that made the Final Four won 30). The Hoyas find themselves on the bubble's underbelly– projected the 4th team out by CBS and 8th team out by ESPN. GOOD NEWS!– "bracketmatrix.com" has them as a #1 seed for the NIT. As the 7th seed in the upcoming Big East Tournament– there's a first round game with last place DePaul. If you can't beat the Blue Demons on a neutral floor– you don't deserve to dance. A win sets up a rematch with Creighton– a team they beat a week ago in DC.
Shamrock Shake Funfact I– started in 1970 as the "St. Patrick's Day Green Milkshake". Thank goodness they renamed it…Shammy sounds so much better than "SPDG" or "St. Patty's".
Alma Mater Update–the Orange ended their final regular season in the Big East by scoring 37 points in a loss at Georgetown. Beside myself, only a Shamrock Shake kept me from jumping on the Metro Rails as I headed home that dark day (little did I know there'd be a Final Four run). The #11 Orange (27-4, 14-4 ACC) concluded their first winter in a new league by beating a signature-win-hungry Florida State 74-58. Jerami Grant's return to the lineup proved to be the band-aid that delivered the team's first road win by more than one possession since January. The victory gives them a 2nd seed in the ACC Tournament–in the sub-bracket of #7 NC State, #10 Miami and #15 Virginia Tech)…and stops the slide from what one month ago was the Overall #1 seed in most bracket models ( they're a #3 in ESPN and a #2 in CBS). But despite a nice finish for first team All ACC forward CJ Fair (22 points and 7 rebounds)…the ugly monster called "lack of depth" (4 players saw 35+ minutes on the floor, only 7 played at all) could rear its ugly head in Greensboro. At least for now I don't have to answer questions from my Maryland friends like "What's wrong with your boys?".
Maryland (17-14, 9-9 ACC)–nothing was wrong at 2:30pm EDT in College Park…as the Terps vanquished a season of last-minute losses. The 75-69 overtime win over then-#5 Virginia was the team's first signature win in a year where the Terps had written their first name in cursive only to run out of ink. Credit a defense that held the Cavaliers to 9-31 shooting after halftime. Credit Dez Wells heating up after intermission (16 of his 18 points coming after the break). And credit Seth Allen for being on fire to start the extra session (scoring the first 5 points in OT). Unfortunately NC State's win keeps the Terrapins in the 8-9 game (against Florida State) with the winner facing top seed Virginia in Friday's quarterfinals. The latest NIT talk has Maryland getting a #5 seed from bracketmatrix.com…and facing West Virginia in the first round (with a trip to top seed Georgetown for the winner). Can Mark Turgeon's team catch fire in Greensboro?
Shamrock Shake Funfact II–in 1974 Philadelphia Eagles owner Leonard Tose was in the process of getting the Ronald McDonald House (for cancer patient's families) built…and proceeds from Shamrock Shake sales contributed to the charity getting off the ground. Proving that Philly fans may throw snowballs at Santa, but they're all about helping the kids and enjoying minty goodness three months later.
Cruising the Commonwealth–the Tale of Two Programs continues with the best of times being tempered somewhat at Virginia (25-6, 16-2 ACC) after the Cavaliers came up short in College Park. Joe Harris shot under 30% or worse for the fourth time in five games…UVa was outrebounded and missed 8 free throws in the loss. The loss may keep them from getting a #1 or #2 seed (both models have the Cavs as a #3 in the South) but it won't alter their Greensboro schedule–as they'll play the winner of Maryland-Florida State Friday. By the time they do play Friday in the ACC Quarterfinals…Virginia will have suited up for just two games over a 16-day span. Not exactly ideal if you're trying to hit your stride. Virginia hasn't reached Saturday (aka the ACC Semis) or the Second Weekend (NCAA Regionals) since 1995…and this team looks poised to end that streak. Virginia Tech (9-21, 2-16 ACC) is in the famed "10-15" First Round game Wednesday. I've never been a fan of the double-bye bracket…but unless you trim the field to 12 schools that's what you've got. The Hokies lost their regular season finale 62-51 at Georgia Tech–missing 19 of their first 26 shots. Jarell Eddie's descent (27% shooting over his last 10 games) mirrored an offense that scraped to but even 50 points on the board. The good news is they face Miami Wednesday–and the Hokies posted their only two league games against the Hurricanes this winter.
Shamrock Shake Funfact III–in an era when McDonald's commercials featured such characters like "The Hamburgler" and "Mayor McCheese"…the fuzzy purple "Grimace" was the milkshake specialist. Thus it makes perfect sense the green-furred "Uncle O'Grimacey" would become the patron saint of an ad campaign–and a hero to kids worldwide. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu6q8HzmQ7Q)
George Washington (23-7, 11-5 Atlantic 10)–the Colonials continue to be in the at-large middle class…listed by CBS as a #8 seed (in Arizona's regional) and a #9 (in Florida's bracket) by ESPN. Atlantic 10 Player of the Week Maurice Creek notched 24 points and 7 rebounds in the 70-67 win at Fordham (the Rams made this one close thanks to outrebounding GW 45-28) to assure the Colonials of the #3 seed in the upcoming conference tournament–where they await the winner of UMass and Rhode Island. They beat the Rams in January (17 points and 7 rebounds for Kevin Larsen) and lost to the Minutemen in February (shooting 37% from the field…turning the ball over 14 times and getting outrebounded by 4). Help is on the way…in the form of second-leading scorer Kethan Savage as the guard returns after missing 12 games with a broken foot–albeit in limited minutes.
Shamrock Shake Funfact IV–the was briefly a "Shamrock Sundae" in 1980…that for some reason didn't stick. I'm thinking it was the lack of Uncle O'Grimacey in the marketing efforts… (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOb7T1pqj08)
George Mason (11-19, 4-12) couldn't escape the dreaded 12-13 game at the beginning of the Atlantic 10 Tournament as an 81-69 loss to Duquesne proves costly. The Dukes hit 11 of 21 three-pointers and shot 53% for the game…as the Patriots regroup to face Fordham. The Rams won only twice in league play–but one of those victories was against GMU as Branden Frazier scored all 22 of his points after halftime in a January 22nd 76-70 triumph. Can Mason extend their inaugural conference campaign?
Maryland Womens Window– unfortunately the stay in Greensboro was brief for the #11 Terps (24-6, 12-4 ACC) as they couldn't contain North Carolina during crucial stretches of a 73-70 loss to the Tar Heels despite 24 points and 11 rebounds for Alyssa Thomas. The loss drops Maryland to a potential 4th seed (in Tennessee's bracket with a potential second round matchup against 5th seeded Michigan State). The good news is they'll begin their NCAA Tournament run at Comcast Center. The bad news is Alyssa Thomas is one year too old to benefit from a fantastic recruiting class that needs one more winter to transform freshmen Lexie Brown, Brionna Jones and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough into major contributors that can carry a team in March.
Shamrock Shake Funfact V–the recipe now calls for whipped cream and a cherry. Don't be a fool…enjoy the beverage as nature intended. When they changed to a clear cup I was at first taken aback. There are certain things where less transparency is more…
American (19-12, 13-5 Patriot League)— the Eagles battle regular season champion Boston University Wednesday for the automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament.. they torched the Terriers by 30 at Bender Arena (shooting 71%) but lost by nine in Beantown (getting outrebounded by 16 while committing 13 turnovers). Tony Wroblicky got into foul trouble in the second game–something AU can ill afford again. The Eagle D has carried them to the finals as they've held Colgate to 39% shooting and Holy Cross to 38% from the field. A win Wednesday would cap a miraculous run for the team in coach Mike Brennan's first season at the helm.
Howard (7-24, 5-11 MEAC) somehow emerges from a 5-way tie to claim the #8 seed. I don't know which tiebreaker put them over the top. The Bison battle North Carolina A&T Tuesday– a team they beat in February by eight thanks to 23 points from James Daniel. While Morgan State handcuffed the freshman to 4-16 shooting in a 68-66 overtime loss… that's the only time the guard's been held under 20 points since February 3rd. The winner gets regular season titlist North Carolina Central in the quarterfinals…
Shamrock Shake Funfact VI–I reportedly consumed 61 Shammy Shakes in 1996…which I thought was the record (by one). Sadly, due to the leap year there was an extra day of Shamrock Shake sales that year…that is why my '96 total gets an asterisk (actually they list both records– there was never actually an asterisk).

Sephora Sale Picks!
Ok so this might be my favorite sale of the year BECAUSE beauty products literally almost never go on sale, and Sephora onyl does this twice a year, so get them before they're gone!! It actually ends tonight! You get 10% off for being an insider (signing up for emails), and 15% off for being VIB and VIB Rouge, which you need to spend a certain amount of money per year to do.
Either way, it's savings on beauty! I've rounded up some of my favorite products that Sephora carries and things I think would be amazing picks to scoop up during the remaining few hours at the sale:
1. Dior Lip Glow In Pink Glow Light Pink - This is what I wear everytime I go out for a super natural look that is basically "your lips but better". It adds the most perfect pink sheen to my lips and it is moisturizing (that is saying a lot because my lips are ALLLLWAYS chapped). I seriously need to pick up a few more shades - excited to try the new matte formula too!
2. Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara - This is my favorite mascara of late. It is perfectly dramatic without looking fake, but makes my lashes volumized and longer! It is so, so good, and I am the type of girl who rotates my mascaras and I always reach for this. Another favorite is the Wander Beauty Unlashed Volumne & Curl Mascara!
3. Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Longwear High Cover Foundation with SPF 25 - long name, fabulous formula. As the name promises, this is definitely a full coverage foundation and makes my skin look worlds better than it actually is. It provides LONG wearing full coverage that does not cake, and is great for my oily skin. I love that it has SPF 25. Seriously a beautiful formula that is worth the price tag. Definitely a great one to pick up during the sale. I have shade 3.5 They have 20 shades.
4. Urban Decay Naked Palette - I have the O.G. and I loooove this one. Such an awesome range of colors, great neutrals, which I love because I tend to stick with champagnes and browns and bronzes on my eyes. This one delivers so many great looks, and the baby Naked palette is on sale for $19!
5. Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Baby Facial - This was a new one for me this year, and it was voted one of Allure Magazine's best of beauty for 2017. If that doesn't tell you it's good, besides the wildly good reviews it gets, idk what will. This stuff feels tingly when you put it on the skin, you leave it on for about 20 mins, and your skin looks "reborn" when you take it off. It is awesome!
6. Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick - This one was another lovely discovery. It is a foundation in stick form!!! Great for travel and gives SUCH great coverage, even on my oily skin! I love this stuff. It glides on so easily and is super easy to blend with a beauty blender or brush. Love. I have the shade Porcelain. This roundup is reminding me that I need a tan.
7. Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer - This could be my all time favorite concealer. I also love the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer, but I almost feel like this one stays better? It is a matte formula, which works great for me personally because I have oily skin. It provides great coverage but isn't cakey at all. I use it mostly on any spots/discoloration/blemishes. I have the shade Vanilla. Have I mentioned I have very fair skin???
8. Moroccanoil Treatment - this one may be my favorite hair product. I usually don't do much with my hair except blow it dry but this product makes it look better no matter whether I air dry it or blow it out. It escalates dry time and leaves my hair SO SOFT and smoothe. I apply it wet damp and dry, it is that great. Must. Have.
9. Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water - I have been using this stuff a lot lately - I'll spray it on my face and actually spray it on my damp beauty blender too and it works really well. It provides a nice fresh and dewy base to prep my face for makeup.
10. Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer Concealer and Foundation - this is maybe the most full coverage concealer I have EVER used. You only need a tiny dot of this so while it is pricey, it will last until you are 100 and provides seriously incredible coverage. It can cover up the darkest circles just as well as the reddest cystic blemish.
11. Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer - as the name insinuates, this one isn't as full coverage but is the most natural looking coverage I have. I have been using this for several years now and I don't think I'll ever stop using it. It is fresh, dewy without being oily, doesn't clog pores, and lets your freckles and natural skin shine through. I love it so much. I wear Vanilla 02.
12. Glamglow Super Mud Activated Charcoal Treatment - Last is another skincare favorite that I have been using for a couple of years. It detoxes the skin in the best way, you can literally see it working on the nose pores. It smells and feels minty and doesn't feel super drying. It has 200K Loves on the Sephora website. I am always searching for skin clearing masks and I always come back to this one.
There are about 372489374 products that I absolutely love from Sephora and didn't mention here, so get them while you can because the sale time is running out!!! Let me know which products you guys picked up because I absolutely love suggestions :)

What do defense contractors have in common with food service companies? At one time or another, both industries have realized that the path to profits during tough economic times requires serious cost cutting. The aerospace and defense industries learned that lesson in the early 1990s and the food business is biting the bullet today.
Rubio's Restaurants (Nasdaq: RUBO) is a perfect example. The Carlsbad-based company started selling fish tacos and other Mexican food items in 1983 with a single shop in the Mission Bay area. After growing slowly in the San Diego County region for several years, the company initiated an aggressive growth plan that resulted in the opening of more stores throughout California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nevada and Oregon.
However, tough times called for tough decisions at Rubio's. In its quarterly earnings report issued last week, the company announced revenues of $29.9 million in the previous three months, an increase of 12.4 percent over the previous quarter.
"I am very pleased with our financial performance for the first quarter," said Ralph Rubio, CEO and chairman. "We are now seeing the results of the earnings improvement initiatives we began last year."
Those initiatives included shutting down 11 under-performing stores and reigning in labor and food expenses. The bottom line was also enhanced by a 1.8 percent increase in same-store sales.
The rebound in earnings at Rubio's has been accompanied by a rebound in the stock price. After its initial public offering in May of 1999 at $10.50 a share, the stock price rose quickly to $15. However, the share price went into a steady decline and bottomed out at $2.75 at the end of last year. Recent trading has seen the price of Rubio's share climb to a 52-week high at $8.80.
Soon to join Rubio's on Wall Street will be Fresh Enterprises, the parent company for 157 Baja Fresh restaurants including nine in San Diego County. The company has filed an application for an initial public stock offering. No date for the IPO has been determined.
Rubio's and Baja Fresh are two of the companies trying to gain market share in the "quick casual" segment of the food services industry. These restaurants are a growing sector of the industry that is expected to generate record sales in 2002 at $407.8 billion. A cross between quick service and full service, these quick casual restaurants provide a variety of food products in a comfortable setting.
"Operators must evaluate every aspect of their concept, including menu, decor, service systems, and trade dress, in order to provide a positive sensory experience," said Ron Paul, president of Technomics, a food service consulting company.
The challenge for these food establishments will be to pry people away from their fast food fixes. The battle for market share among the hamburger heavies is getting heated. A new report from Technomics finds that chains like Wendy's (NYSE: WEN) and Jack in the Box (NYSE: JBX) are taking a bite out of the market that has historically been controlled by McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) and Burger King.
Wendy's has seen its market share rise for five consecutive years. The company founded by the late Dave Thomas now owns a 13.2 percent share of the fast food market, ranking behind McDonald's (43 percent) and Burger King (18.4 percent). The top two have seen their market share decline in the past year.
Also gaining share in the market place is San Diego-based Jack in the Box, the nation's fourth-largest hamburger chain with 4.6 percent of the market, up from 4.4 percent in 2000.
Wendy's and Jack in the Box have gained market share by thinking outside of the box.
"At Wendy's, sales of our new Garden Sensations salads are robust and meeting our expectations," said Jack Schuessler, CEO of the chain of 8,200 restaurants. "Customers like the quality and freshness of the ingredients, the new packaging, the variety of toppings and the fact that they can customize the salads." The products are quite a diversion from the pre-packaged image of the fast food industry.
Meanwhile, Jack in the Box is anticipating modest growth in sales for the rest of the year as consumers look for food values.
"During the fourth quarter, we will roll out a significant new quality-improvement initiative for our sandwich line," said Robert Nugent, who heads up the chain of 1,800 company-owned or franchised restaurants. "And throughout the remainder of the year, we will continue to provide and promote strong value offerings for our customers, who have been particularly affected by this economy."
Nugent is referencing the impact of the September terrorist attacks on consumers and the restaurant industry. Recent reports that suggest personal income is on the rise could be the perfect recipe for the food business.
"As an industry in which a large portion of the growth is driven by cash on hand, the projected growth in disposable personal income suggests continued gains in the restaurant industry in 2002," said Bruce Grindy, senior economist for the National Restaurant Association.
Chamberlin's financial analysis column appears each Monday in the San Diego Daily Transcript. Chamberlin also reports daily on stocks and local business on NBC 7/39 and on "Money In The Morning" on KOGO 600 AM.

4.3 "Hour of Twilight"
4.3 "Hour of Twilight"
And Ashadelo went fucking nuts...Code:http://www.multiupload.com/F7W3E7KTQN
[Hidden link. Register to see links.]
A fanfiction that tries to answer the question "What if Jon Snow traveled to Essos instead of the Wall?"
They are the same, I listened to them. They match perfectly in audio comparison software as well. (Those multiple zandalari tracks)
Such an awesome update thanks again
Want the Key to Eternal Life?
read about it here:
[Hidden link. Register to see links.]
This upload leaves me speechless
From the bottom of my heart, a thousands thanks !
So speechless he had to post twice!
Thanks for this Doublehex
I must admit that my expectations dropped a little upon seeing that Russell Brower's name has been misspelled on the cover... but WoW has been blessed with some decent music in the past, so I shall digest this one with great interest. Thank you!
Hint: Neal Acree does all of the really good stuff with Hour of Twilight. Of course, I do have a thing for heavy handed chorus focused action cues, so I am somewhat biased.
But seriously though, Brower does some pretty decent stuff. 4.2 had some good stuff, and 4.1 opens up with a piece I [i]know[i] you will love. If you don't, I will eat my own shoe.
Thanks a lot for doing this, Doublehex. This thread is exactly what I wanted
Thanks again for this Doublehex, it's such a great rip.
Would be awesome if we could talk you into doing Warcraft 3: Reign of Choas and The Frozen Throne as one massive rip making it a complete collection. There is no official soundtrack for Warcraft 3: TFT or even the EP's complied together.
I can send you links on youtube for some of the obscure stuff if you wanted.
Well, isn't WC3's soundtrack already complete? And there is already a named TFT rip around, I believe.
I guess I wanted one with all the mvoies and stuff like you did with DIablo 2. I did one for diablo 1 if you want me to send it to you. It has the opening, closing videos and trailers ontop of all of the tracks.
I got a few questions Doublehex,
What program do you use to get this music?
Does this rogram work for all blizzard games or just World of Warcraft?
When you are looking for the patch music is all of it in a certain folder?
Where do you get your amazing cover arts from for all of the complete rips and patch rips you do?
Thanks so much for the 4.3 upload, it's really great. I noticed however, that there seem to be a few missing tracks.
[Hidden link. Register to see links.]
Like, for instance, a lot of the fun pieces for the Darkmoon Faire appear to not be included. Is this intentional?
I went through and listed to that link I think the ONLY thing Doublehex is missing is the darkmoon, everything else is there. Twlight Hammer MIGHT be missing but not 100% sure
EDIT: I found the Darkmoon Faire music - they were in a different folder in the same .MPQ that I had overlooked somehow. I've edited them in, so I am uploading the updated version now.
When the patch is first released, they are given their own .MPQ. However, once the next big patch rolls around they are merged into the bigger .MPQ's, like Sound or Art.
As for the covers, I made them myself. I may not be an expert, but I know some ways around Photoshop. The toughest part is finding a good piece of artwork that is not "limited" by the logos. 4.3 was interesting in that there have been NO wallpapers released for it! All of the other patches in WoW's history were given a wallpaper weeks beforehand. So I had to go with a screenshot.
Oh lovely - they add it in AFTER I do my cover. Give me 10 minutes and I'll cook up something.
[Hidden link. Register to see links.]
2.3 and 3.1+3.2 both seem to be down.
Didn't say they were removed, though, so it could be technical difficulties.

Exclude customer tags from your rewards program
✅ This feature is only available for Shopify merchants
✅ This feature is only available on a Smile paid plan.Here's what we're covering:
- How to make customers with certain tags not eligible for your rewards program
If you have wholesalers or influencers that you don't want to be a part of your rewards program, you can easily exclude them from earning rewards.
Go to the Manage Apps page in your Smile Admin panel and select Shopify by clicking Edit.
Write the Shopify customer tag (paying attention to spelling and capitalization) that you wish to exclude, and press Add. When you've finished adding the tags you want excluded press Save.
Note: These exclusions should only be made for customers who you're rewarding in other ways, like wholesaler discounts. Your goal with a rewards program should be to get as many customers as possible to join and start earning rewards.
Once a customer is excluded:
- They will no longer be able to earn points for completing actions at your store
- Their referral link will no longer be active or usable
- They will not be able to see your program's Launcher on your site after logging into their account
Excluded customers may still see Smile content if any embedded content has been added to your site. Our support team can help you through code changes to ensure this content is hidden.
Note: if an excluded customer is not logged into their store account, they will still be able to see your program Launcher.

If you hate reading but love my voice, you're in luck because Robert and I began laying down tracks for the audio book version of Adult Stuff.
While I believe the book is already a good read, the audio book will bring another level as we get to hit the jokes as intended. I think you'll dig it.
Plus you get listen to Robert reading about things like "fine dining" while he looks like THAT!
If you hate reading but love my voice, you're in luck because Robert and I began laying down tracks for the audio book version of Adult Stuff.
As we lead up to the April 5th release of my book Adult Stuff, I've been creating a series of quotes with graphics to help promote the book on social media. What started out as a silly idea, has turned into some A-Ok design work.
Not too bad for an out of practice ex-designer. More to come as the date nears!
Holy crap! Adult Stuff is available for pre-order on Amazon! We also have our official market release date for April 5th. Robert and I are both real excited to get this baby out in stores.
Even though I wrote the dumb thing, I still laughed out loud when I read the final draft before it went to the publisher. There is also a lot of good advice that I find myself following when I'm facing high expectations in adult situations.
I apologize in advance, because I am going to talk about this non-stop until the release. Sorry and BUY MY BOOK!
A funny piece I wrote about Road House (my one true love) was featured on the Higgs Weldon recently. Read it here: Sheriff From Road House Called Back From Vacation.
Meanwhile at The Grove: a confused child wanders into the bit for a closer look.
Our Robert & The Magic Mirror UCB Spank! was a solid success Monday night. Despite a traditionally unfavorable time for comedy (5:30pm on a Monday), we had a pretty great turn out. I also debuted the updated LED version of the Magic Mirror costume which was a dream of mine since it's initial inception years ago.
We were joined on stage by my pals from the band CityCity to serve as musical accompaniment and Renee Colvert rounding out the cast to make it a very fun, very friendly show of which I was quite proud. Comedy is fun, but it's always more so when you get to work with fun people. Thanks everyone.
I'll keep you posted on more Mirror goings-ons as they develop.
Robert & The Magic Mirror is making it's highly anticipated (depending on who you ask) return!
We'll be running a new and improved episode of Deep Space Nein! directed by Becky Feldman. This show's got it all: Robert, the Magic Mirror, creepy Richard Branson, and a sassy super computer. Featuring live musical accompaniment from our pals in CityCity.
Come see our Spank show.
Monday, June 22nd. 5:30pm. UCB Sunset.
From last night's Memorial Day show at UCB Sunset.
GOOD NEWS: I've made it to the finals of the LA Just For Laughs New Faces character showcase. After my preliminary audition in March, this is the final where I'll be going for a shot to perform at the festival in Montreal. This will be my second straight trip to the finals, so fingers crossed.
The show is Monday, May 11th at 5:00pm at iO West, Hollywood.
5pm is an early slot for comedy, but if you're free please come check it out. As it's a final, it should be a solid group of performers.
The wonderful Natalia Rinder recently humored my desire for "Professional Business Professional" photos with this series of ridiculous shots. Good thing too, because if I ever need bus stop ads for a real estate company, injury law firm, or political campaign, I'm officially covered.
Check out Natalia's stuff at www.nataliarinder.com!
Good news: Robert And The Magic Mirror is coming back. The live, ridiculous adventure-comedy will be returning for a show at the UCB in June. More details to come.
On Wednesday I'm doing The Hullaballoo variety hour at UCB Sunset as part of a Shia LaBeouf improvised musical. I'll be utilizing my vast (useless) knowledge of WWII as I interact with other notable Shia movie characters which should be real weird. If you're around, you should pop over and check it out.

I know, I'm thinking the same thing; ANOTHER blog to maintain. I can't promise I'm going to change your life here, but I can promise I'll keep this somewhat updated with important showbiz stuff.
That being said, I'm auditioning for the Montreal Just For Laughs comedy festival on Wednesday, March 18th. I'll be debuting some new characters and getting real weird. I made it to the LA callback round last year, and am hoping to do well and have fun again this year.

An email sent out to our mail list:
I have been horridly negligent in updates. Our days were long and if we weren't seeing patients, logistical issues were never ending. I made a decision this time to be in bed before midnight every night and letters home and posts suffered, as in I have not written a single word so I apologize.
We have finished our mission. We had 21 US-based team members along with Peruvians Monica, driver and crowd enforcer, Julio, a dentist, Karoline and Marie, two medical students, Susanna and Theresa, two medical residents and Anita, a psychologist joining us at different times. They provided insights into the health care and mental health systems that were previously lacking so their presence enriched our ability to understand the current health care system, a much needed education!
Our ultrasonographer was kept very busy and because of her presence, we were able to educate, treat and/or refer patients based on confirmed diagnoses instead of best-guesses. Diverticuli of the bladder (who knew?), gallstones, a breach baby at 8 months, placentia previa, ovarian cysts and an ovarian dermoid cyst are the findings that immediately come to mind. Gestational ages were documented as the program measured the length of the femur bone. Lots of moms got to see their babies in utero-the heartbeat, spine, the fists, legs; their faces registered nothing at first and as we pointed out different parts of the child, shy smiles appeared as they began to understand what they were looking at.
We saw several orthopedic issues and were able to provide hospital-quality splinting to those that needed it. We quickly dispensed our crutches, walkers and cane while being able to provide one patient who had major skin debridement with dressings that will last him quite a while.
There were conditions that some of us had never heard of and we never will again. Our bulk medications for high blood pressure, low dose aspirin, water retention, antibiotics, pain relief and cold/cough meds flew out the doors of the pharmacy. We also had a limited supply of medication for severe rheumatoid arthritis, seizures and even hypothyroidism that was quickly depleted. We gave breathing treatments with our donated nebulizer until it burned out, pollution induced asthma is a very real issue amongst the young and old. Ear wax removal was an ongoing challenge as rocks of wax and the occasional bug embedded themselves in the eardrums of little ones.
Vitamins were always in high demand as patients think of them as magic pills but education to prove otherwise will be an uphill battle. The misuse of medications is another issue that can have profound adverse affects on patient health. One woman told a practitioner she was taking "amoxicilina" (amoxicillin-an antibiotic) for pain but it wasn't working. Patients can purchase the medications of their choice over the counter but may not be educated on how to take it or even what it is for.
People wonder about us providing a 60 or 90 day supply of medications for chronic conditions. When a patient buys the blood pressure or diabetes medication at the pharmacy, it is purchased by the pill and they might be able to afford just a 10-day supply. Receiving a 90-day supply is a windfall in their eyes.
Lots of children don't have appetites according to the mothers, even as the child is eating candy during the visits. Teeth in the younger children are rotting and after seeing the decay of the little ones in Peru and the Philippines, I am convinced the CocaCola and Pepsi companies are out to destroy the teeth of the world. In some places, cola is cheaper than water and in a lot of places, cheaper than milk.
We handed out an estimated 200 reading glasses as well as all of the distance glasses with most of those going to children who could not see the chalkboards, if there was one.
Our "non-medical" people soon realized how vital they were to the team and kept busy without complaint. They have been redubbed "extraordinary medical ministers" as a reference to lay Eucharistic ministers ("Extraordinary Ministers") used at mass. They were often locked away into an obscure corner counting pills with little benefit of patient contact or a decent view and at one point, using a candle for lighting!
Because of the bigger issues we saw, we were not able to treat as many as we did two years ago. Our final count is not yet available but we estimate that 1600 people were seen and treated over the course of 11 days. Almost every single patient left with something, even if it was a toy for a healthy child
Our days started early and Las Hermanas del Perpetuo Socorro came out to our villa by cab on a daily basis with communion so that we, with our deacon, could celebrate communion, a wonderful way to start our day!
Our first year in Peru, we stayed in Lima and commuted to the district of Ate, a 1+ hour commute. This year we stayed in a beautiful villa in a district 20 minutes from Ate. Holding 20 people, it had large, lush expansive grounds that provided a respite from the brown air, the brown plants, the brown dirt outside of its walls. We hired a cook who kept us well fed with breakfast and dinner while the municipality of Ate provided our lunches when we worked in their neighborhood.
On our last day working with the sisters, the school at the sisters' convent put on a folkloric show as a sign of gratitude. Later we were taken out for lunch to a beautiful restaurant, the Granja Azul with the sisters, city volunteers and co-ordinators, all donated by the restaurant itself. Another surreal experience of comfort in a neighborhood of poverty. I cannot imagine that we did anything as grand as the thanks that we received so it was all a bit overwhelming.
Our last three days were spent in transit; first to Ancon, an oceanside village 2+ hours north of Lima then, after the clinic, a 3+hour trek to a village on the south side of Lima. It was a lot to ask of the team in a single day but was well worth the effort to spend two days in the little coastal village of Pucusana. We were hosted by Marcia Torres, the mother of one of our parishioners. Despite recent personal challenges, she insisted on providing housing and breakfast for 18 of us and arranged for a team dinner on our last day.
We know we did not do this alone: We can never forget the support of Las Hermanas del Perpetuo Socorro and Natalia who was our liaison with the sisters and the district, the support of the District of Ate and their transportation, the Knights of Columbus for donating the ultrasound probe, la Sra. Marcia Torres for so graciously hosting us in Pucusana and to VIDA USA and VIDA PERU for their time and energy to ensure that we and out supplies made it through customs.
Finally, and foremost in our thoughts and prayers, we give thanks to the Lord; for healing those team members that became sick, for bringing so many people together for a common vision of helping the poor in His name and for those of you at home that supported us in prayer, thoughts and donations, thank you!
And to the team, well done and thank you.

Everything from heart and brain health to digestion and virus protection, lets chat about 8 of the many reasons that true Ceylon cinnamon is so insanely good for you!
Cinnamon, the smell of the holidays! Its amazing how our senses of smelling and tasting can quickly transport us to a time and place. That is one thing cinnamon definitely does for me! It transports me to the Holiday Season!! The crisp cool air, Christmas trees and Christmas lights, singing carols, laughing and eating with friends and family, and so much more! I love so much about this fantastic spice, but it is also because I know how GOOD cinnamon is for me and my family!!!
Cinnamon has been used medicinally throughout the world for thousands of years. Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is from the bark of a tree in Sri Lanka and is different from Cassia Cinnamon. But lets focus on what Ceylon Cinnamon can do to help improve your life!
1 - Cinnamon can help fight viruses and infections.
Cinnamon has powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties that naturally help your immune system fight off those inevitable germs that you encounter. That makes this ingredient not only seasonally perfect, but also medicinally perfect for the illness all around us this time of year! Try to add a bit more cinnamon (true Ceylon cinnamon) into your diet to help fight off infections!
2 - Cinnamon has great anti-inflammatory properties.
What is more soothing for aching joints than a warm cup of tea!? I know there are a lot of other ways that you can consume cinnamon, but I am a bit biased to just making it in tea form! And what is better than a tea that is warm and soothing as well as naturally beneficial to reduce inflammation? Inflammation is a reaction in the body when the white blood cells are released to the affected area and are trying to protect your body from foreign substances. Some of the chemicals from the white blood cells cause a release of fluid into the area which results in swelling and like many of us know, this swelling can definitely lead to pain and discomfort. When this swelling occurs in joints it can be particularly painful because of the pressure cause from the build up of this fluid. Cinnamon is a fantastic way to naturally help the body fight off this inflammation and release this fluid that builds up.
3 - Cinnamon is great for the heart.
About 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year making it the leading cause of death for both men and women. 1 in every 4 deaths are from heart disease. There is so much research that shows how cinnamon is good for the heart and can reduce the risk of heart disease! In May of this year, the American Heart Association released findings that indicate the popular spice can help lessen the risk of heart disease or cardiovascular damage, which are often linked to eating a high-fat diet.
4 - Cinnamon can help regulate blood sugars by lowering insulin resistance.
In one study conducted for 40 days, volunteers consumed 1-6 grams of cinnamon per day. This study found that cinnamon cut both cholesterol and blood sugar levels! Cholesterol was lowered by 18% and blood sugar levels by 24%!
5 - Cinnamon contains powerful antioxidants.
We all know the power of building antioxidants in your system! Free radicals cause oxidative damage in the body and antioxidants are important to help protect our bodies from this damage! Free radicals can start a chain reaction like dominos
6 - Cinnamon is great for brain health.
Studies have shown that by eating cinnamon, you increase the levels of sodium benzoate in your brain which in turn increases the levels of neurotrophic factors. This process is crucial for helping with the longevity of the neurons in your brain along with the creation of new neurons. Long live brain health!!!
7 - Cinnamon is great for digestion.
This could be a topic all on its own! With natural properties that help the body naturally eliminate indigestion, flatulence, stomach cramps, nausea, and heartburn, WHY don't we drink this after EVERY MEAL?!? The entire digestive system can be naturally kicked into gear with this great ingredient!
8 - Cinnamon is great for your breath.
Add to the perfect pairing of an herb to drink after meals, cinnamon kills bad breath germs before they have a chance to kill a good conversation! Another great reason that I love to serve a perfect chai with dessert at dinner parties!
Need cinnamon now right!? Well FIRST you definitely want to make sure that you have TRUE CINNAMON! Ceylon Cinnamon is "True Cinnamon" that I am talking about in this post. Other "cinnamons" are called Vietnamese, Saigon, or Cassia and those are not True Cinnamon, nor do they contain the powerful properties found in Ceylon Cinnamon from Sri Lanka.
There are plenty of Cozy Leaf tea blends that contain this delicious CEYLON CINNAMON!
Kansas Sunset Chai - Tiger Fire Chai - Country Chai Spice - Breathe Deep - Winter Wonderland
And on top of all of this, there are still many more reasons that cinnamon is so good for you! Enjoy cinnamon, enjoy life, and stay healthy!
Abby (Cozy Leaf founder & owner)

You've recently set up your first business, it's been registered, and you're even starting to see some customers come in. So what's your next move? Do you sit back and what for everything to fall into place? Unfortunately any business, not just a new one, needs constant management. So now is the time to think about how to manage it all, and financial management is the first and most important practice to get into to ensure the success of your business. Together with Hippo.co.za, here are the basics of managing your business finances.
Get a business bank account
Separating your business and personal bank accounts is a must. Apart from helping you figure out which transactions are purely business related and therefore how well you're doing, it will be far easier to complete your tax forms when the time comes. With both your personal and business transactions in one account, it will become increasingly difficult to separate what was spent on the business and what wasn't, or what the business gained or didn't.
Speak to your bank about opening up a business account and what forms you might need to supply. The documents most commonly asked for are business registration forms, and ID. You will also need to deposit a certain amount of money upon opening the account.
Keep your books in order
Keeping your accounts in order helps you assess whether your business is profitable or not, and keeps an accurate record for when the time comes for you to be audited. If your accounts are not in order, you won't have a clear idea of how well you're doing, and you will have to scramble to get it all in order and on record before an audit.
Keeping your accounts in order need not cause too much stress. You can hire an accountant or bookkeeper to do it all for you but, if you can't afford this option, you can purchase an online tool, such as Quickbooks or Pastel, to help you do it yourself.
Offer various payment methods
Unfortunately one payment method, while seemingly simple and easy, isn't always helpful to customers. Not every person uses the same payment method, and if a customer doesn't see a method that they're comfortable with upon checkout, they're not likely to go ahead with the purchase.
Implementing a handful of payment methods that you know your customers use will ensure that customers who like your brand are happy to and are comfortable with purchasing from you. Whether you operate from a brick-and-mortar shop, or online, or both, there are a number of payment methods out there to choose from. From traditional cash, and debit or credit card, to EFT and even SnapScan, choose a few to offer consumers.
Don't blow your profit
While it may be tempting to spend a large portion of your business money on office upgrades and equipment as soon as your profit starts to rise, it is vital to have a portion saved for the times when business may be slow or you need to do emergency repairs. Having a savings account will ensure that your business is sustainable in the long-term, and able to withstand slow months.
Save a portion of your profit each month, and you won't be caught short during times when cashflow is stagnant or you need to do emergency repairs to your office building, equipment or assets. While you might already have measures in place, such as Business Insurance, to protect your assets financially, it never hurts to put money away for a rainy day.
Regardless of whether your business is new or old, getting the hang of these habits will provide you with the basics of financial management that is vital to your business's success. If you're trying to figure out How to Make 2018 Your Year of Financial Liberty, get a business bank account, keep your financials in order, implement a few different payment methods, and always save a portion of your profit.

The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University and the Sandra Day O'Connor Institute will celebrate the inaugural Sandra Day O'Connor Day Tuesday, Sept. 25, the day the first woman, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was sworn in to the Supreme Court of the U.S.
In recognition of the day and her accomplishments, including being the first female majority leader in the Arizona State Senate, Gov. Doug Ducey issued a proclamation establishing Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2018, as Sandra Day O'Connor Day, according to a release.
"There has been no greater champion for the things we value most as a society — justice, equality and the rule of law — than Sandra Day O'Connor," Dean Doug Sylvester, ASU Law, said in a prepared statement.
"She grew up in a much different world, but her brilliance, perseverance and principled leadership helped reshape it for the better. It is an incredible honor to be able to pay tribute to her legacy and civic contributions on the anniversary of her swearing in to the Supreme Court."
Sarah Suggs, president and CEO of the O'Connor Institute, said the institute is grateful for Mr. Ducey's recognitions of Ms. O'Connor's contributions to the state and nation.
"We are delighted to collaborate with the law school that bears her name to honor Justice O'Connor," Ms. Suggs said in a prepared statement.
To pay tribute to Ms. O'Connor's distinguished career and legacy, there will be a roundtable discussion with a few of Justice O'Connor's former court clerks.
The panel will include Hon. Ruth McGregor, former chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court; Charles Blanchard, former general counsel of the U.S. Army and Air Force; and RonNell Andersen Jones, professor of law at the University of Utah.
The discussion will be from 6-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 25 at the Beus Center for Law and Society, 111 E. Taylor St. in Phoenix.

At my agency, we've run dozens of mortgage broker online marketing campaigns. We've worked with all types of brokers - everything from an Los Angeles based bank with 15 brokers, to single brokers trying to build a business for themselves.
Because I run an agency, I am able to distill hours of work on hundreds of Facebook ad campaigns and shorten the learning curve into a concise and targeted online course that will help you grow your business.

We've distilled our many years experience in Facebook advertising into these modules to get right to the point with Facebook advertising.

As children so often we were planning Christmas morning by August (yes August!); driving our mother mad at the idea when she had so many other things
to do. I can remember discussing the "schedule" with Elizabeth on when we going to get up Christmas morning and who was to start when. Elizabeth and I are five years apart and in the early years we shared a room. Time would pass, school would start, the County Fair would begin, which would distract us from our Christmas game plan. Then of course, would come Halloween and Thanksgiving and then; dundadadum! The actual count down begins and Santa will arrive!
Christmas was always a wonderful Winter Wonderland in our home, mother made sure of that. We weren't very rich, monetarily, but we were in so many other ways. Many would say we were poor as church mice, only we children never knew it. Some how mother made sure that Christmas was alive in our home. I can remember going to sleep at the sound of the sewing machine almost every night between Thanksgiving and December 23rd. Come Christmas morning, Elizabeth and I were usually the first up; however the rule of the house was: NO one is to ENTER the living room until ALL are up (especially MOTHER). Now we were allowed to go in to the kitchen, but you had to walk by the living room and, even so, we were NEVER to even LOOK in the living room.
Now Elizabeth usually would deputize me as her spy and give me the assignment of going into the kitchen. Walking to the kitchen was on the 'ok' list, but while walking to the kitchen all I could remember is the rule "Never to even LOOK in the living room." Tell a child that and you're asking for trouble…. So, I tiptoed out across family room and just peeked a quick peek as I went into the kitchen; then another quick peek on my way back (perhaps I could get a better view), Santa came! There were gifts all over the place. I had to go quick to report back to mission control (Elizabeth).
What wonderful memories we four have of our childhood, especially our Christmas'. With the death of our father at such a young age (only 39) his brothers were very generous as well. So, although they never let on to us children, I'm sure they played a large role in our Christmas treasures. As I wrote in my last post, Christmas packages come in all shapes and sizes, but sometimes it's not the dollars spent, mostly it is the thought behind the gift.
This year I was unable to go to Santa Fé to be with my sister, Elizabeth, due to back problems. I was alone, and she ended up shipping the gifts to me. Now, we were only to be sending each other 'stocking stuffers', but I received three or four packages! I called Elizabeth to thank her and to let her know that hers was on its way and to nicely scold her. This was too much! But she assured me that I would understand once I opened them.
I also received a surprise package from my cousin Clair on Christmas Eve. I was truly spoiled, and felt overwhelmed with love. As was tradition, I opened one gift on Christmas Eve, it was a beach towel; hilarious! A pink flamingo beach towel! Then on Christmas morning, Tula and I went out for our morning walk, she gave me her usual 'gift' that I bagged and dumped in the doggy poo bin and made some tea and started unwrapping stocking stuffers. How wonderful. Some of the gifts that were from Clair were hand-made ornaments, some were of the Wise Men and Camels and the Star (like what my mother had made) made by my Aunt (Clair's mother). Another of her gifts were ornaments that my mother made; I cried such tears. What treasures… The fire in February had taken all those ornaments away from me and I never thought I'd see them again.
Elizabeth found an old piece of stitchery that our mother had done back in 1953 called the History Of Transportation, I remembered it as in this old frame and looking a bit shabby… this was reframed and looked so beautiful! Among her other packages was a framed picture of Kimball, her Senior High picture and a picture of the four of us (our mother and we three daughters) that was taken at our brothers wedding; I simply Love that picture. Another was a picture that Kimball purchased during one of her trips to China; there were three and she gave one to David and me and kept one for herself. Again, I was overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness and the generosity of my sister. Her heart is huge indeed.
As children we were taught that life was precious. It was unfortunate to have lost our father at such a young age, but, when you really look at it, it was a great gift for it taught us that we were family and, as such, we were all we had and must always make the most of it. Mother would constantly lecture us on the importance of family and the importance of taking care of each other and being there for one another. I think she would be proud for we have continued to fulfill that responsibility.
Yes, Santa outdid himself this year so very much. As children we look forward to the bikes, the dolls, the latest trinket on the market. But as we grow older and life has sanded away the rough edges, we start to realize just how precious memories are. The ornaments that mother made, framed pictures of lost loved ones, cookie cutters made from patterns used by our mother when we were children. Those are the things that really touch our hearts and truly bring back the meaning of this wonderful season. Also, there are friends that bring over homemade chicken soup and drop it by your door; completely unexpected and so endearing. I am truly loved and this Christmas was proof of that. Happy Holidays Everyone; my wish for you is that you can find your joy in the moments and see the treasure in the little things.

As an enthusiastic MacMini user, I am pleased with the redesigned MacMini that was announced today. Seems to be a nice model for Hauptwerk, would you agree...?
- four- and six-core, eighth-gen Intel processor processors,
- up to 64GB of RAM
- up to 2TB of solid state storage,
- four Thunderbolt 3 ports,
- UBA-A inputs.
It will probably not be low-cost, but it seems to be a machine that can handle quite a bit...

This weekend we did our annual visit to the Coughlin's cabin at Sugarloaf in Maine.
Sugarloaf is our overall favorite mountain to ski in new england. Granted there are a couple top mountains we haven't been to yet (most notably Jay Peak and Sunday River, soon!) but so far this one is our fav.
The only problem with this mountain is the distance. It's a good 4.5 hours (in good conditions) from our house. It's about 30 miles from the Canadian border.
Traffic wasn't too bad and we got there around 11pm on Friday night. Sugarloaf had been getting dumped on so conditions were set to be epic, some of the best ever!

TD Bank profit up 58% to $1.5B
TD Bank profits rose 58 per cent in the fourth-quarter as it booked stronger results from domestic retail banking operations and its wholesale banking division.
The bank says profits increased to $1.57 billion in the three-month period, or $1.69 per share, compared with $994 million, or $1.07 per share, in the same period a year earlier.
On an adjusted basis, earnings were $1.77 per share, above analyst expectations of $1.53 per share.
Revenue lifted to $5.67 billion from $5.02 billion.
"This was a record quarter, with all of our businesses delivering double-digit earnings growth — a truly excellent finish to the year for TD," said president and CEO Ed Clark in a release.
"Our North American retail businesses once again showed why we're well positioned to grow regardless of the macroeconomic environment."
In the Canadian retail banking division, quarterly earnings rose 17 per cent to $905 million from $773 million a year ago.
Profit at the U.S. retail banking operations was up slightly to $316 million from $265 million.
Wholesale banking results increased 203 per cent to $288 million, from $95 million, on better equity and foreign exchange trading, as well as lower personal and commercial loans.
The wealth management division saw profits rise to $193 million from $151 million.
For the full year, TD Bank's profits increased to $5.89 billion from $4.64 billion in 2010. Revenue was up $21.59 billion from $19.57 billion.
Canada's second-largest bank predicted earlier this year that its profit growth would pull back in the second half as consumer borrowing slowed and banks compete more fiercely for their business.
While the latest round of results has outshone the bank's earlier caution, TD offered another footnote to its outlook for domestic banking in the coming year.
"For 2012, we expect earnings growth to moderate as the momentum in the business bank and the contribution from MBNA Canada will be partially offset by lower margins and slower personal banking growth," said Canadian banking head Tim Hockey.
"Overall, we're confident that the resilience of our business model, our focus on delivering great customer service and the investments we've made in our franchise leave us well positioned for the future."
In the summer, the bank bought MBNA, the Canadian credit card business of Bank of America Corp., bulking up its position in the cards segment of the Canadian consumer debt market, an area where it has often lagged behind competitors.
In September, TD Bank said it would issue eight million shares to investors to raise $612 million for general corporate purposes.

Four Nifty Tips for Lightroom!
At BeArt, we're all about improving your workflow and saving you time while allowing you to take your photography to greater, new heights. Striving for excellence doesn't have to be cumbersome - even in software as sophisticated as Lightroom. If you follow our blog, you'll already know that we regularly offer tips to make Lightroom easier to use or, at least, easier to understand. Here are four nifty tips you may not already know or have tried. Feel free to share them with others!
1. Better and more accurate image straightening:
Straightening an image in any editing software can be a challenge in patience and precision! Try this instead: Click on the grey area outside of your picture and use your mouse to rotate the image to make the rotation more precise. Also, try hiding the side panel by pressing Tab. Your image will now fill up the screen so that when you rotate the image, not only can you see change more clearly, it also turns more slowly making it easier to exact precision while straightening. Press Tab again to once again reveal the side panel.
2. Try Downsampling for a reality check:
Some things are better seen big, while others are more obvious in a thumbnail image. Yes, really.; that's due to downsampling: reduce the size of an image, and certain things become minimized while others are more obvious. Certain things - like vignetting- sometimes just show up better in a thumbnail. Once you find issues, you can then fix or adjust them in your larger image.
3. Camera calibration and profile:
Here's a tip that escapes many photographers using Lightroom. Before you make any adjustments to an image, try changing your camera's profile in the Camera Calibration section. In your Develop module of Lightroom, go to your drop down and click on Profile. By making this change, you'll be able to see an image more like it looked on your camera when you first shot it; there is a difference between the default setting and an updated setting.
4. Better fine-tuning:
Hold down the Option key on a Mac or an Alt key on a PC while moving your adjustment slider. This reveals more information and detail about your image allowing you to make better-informed decisions when fine tuning an image.
Lightroom can be an intimidating software for first-time or novice users. We suggest reviewing some of our other blog posts on tips to make your Lightroom or Adobe experience smoother. You'll also find that our presets can take things further faster for your workflow!

Let's Go Shopping: Cowboy Boots for Fall
Hi all,
No western trend recap would be complete if we didn't do a western/cowboy boot round up and based on your feedback since the launch of the Fall Trends series, this is what you're looking for as well! Now, you've seen me wearing western boots all year - from Coachella, to the desert, and in NYC. So, let's go shopping for some new cowboy boots to rock the western trend this fall!
Western Trend - Cowboy Boots
We've spoken about the western trend in general, went shopping for some long, western-inspired prairie dresses, and even looked at a great option for a western-type bag. Now, we're talking boots, boots and boots. In our Western Trend 101, just like in the Neon Trend 101, we mentioned how you don't need to be dressed head to toe western or neon to incorporate the trend if you're into it. But instead, we can add one or two accessories and still pull off the trend rather well - this was the "less is more" principle, right? Well, few individual pieces will bring forth the western trend better than a good pair of boots. So without further delay, let's go shopping for some cowboy boots!

Career Colleges » Illinois » Legal Professions » Court Reporting
Looking for accredited career colleges, technical schools, and universities in Illinois offering Court Reporting degrees. Court reporters also develop methods for transcribing, storing and retrieving data.Attending an Illinois college means close proximity to fascinating Chicago, a cosmopolitan city with a strong arts scene, great restaurants, and lots of affordable housing. It's also a great town for sports fans, with many world-class teams. There are also extensive stretches of rural land in Illinois, offering opportunities for hiking and fishing. And the Great Lakes provide a wonderful setting for boating, water-skiing, or simply long, thoughtful walks along the shore.
Everyone today is searching for a recession-proof career. But what if you could combine job security with career flexibility? What if you could have the financial stability you need along with the variety and excitement you crave? You can with court reporting.
Court reporters may be employed by a court or legal office or may work freelance for a variety of legal clients. Any formal legal proceeding, from a private meeting in a judge's chambers to a large-scale trial in a courtroom, requires the services of a court reporter. Breaking it down to the bare basics, a court reporter's job consists of documenting official legal proceedings by creating verbatim transcripts of all statements - that includes every word said, as well as notes on physical and emotional gestures. Getting every word right is essential.
Most court reporters work using a stenotype machine connected to a computer. This machine allows them to note more than one key at a time and later turn notes into legible print. In other cases, a court reporter may use voice writing, repeating proceedings word-for-word into a special microphone, in order to record the trial or meeting.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be over 5,000 court reporting job openings projected through the year 2022. Add to this the flexibility to create your own hours and to ?be your own boss?, and it?s easy to see why court reporting was ranked as one of the 50 Best Careers by U.S. News and World Report.

Football Club trade marks, a cautionary tale from Dulwich Hamlet FC
Readers might have seen the disheartening news for Dulwich Hamlet FC (DHFC) about their possible exclusion from their ground at Champion Hill.
But there's a further problem for DHFC. Beyond the right to use that physical space, the stadium owners are also seeking to exclude Dulwich from using their intellectual property.
It's certainly lit a fire under the DHFC twitter feed.
Here's the background:
- The stadium owners (the property company that allow use of the Champion Hill ground) have, through a subsidiary company, registered several names and trade marks of Dulwich Hamlet back in October 2017.
- A legal letter from the company's lawyers to DHFC asserts ownership of the marks and warns against their use by DHFC.
- According to the letter, if DHFC use any of the words "Dulwich Hamlet Football Club", "The Hamlet" or "DHFC" on any printed literature and any online activity, "further action will be taken".
To lose the right to use your own name is potentially a huge problem for any business, let alone a sports team, whose name will be of huge importance to supporters. However, it's unlikely that it's all over for DHFC, and not just because of the tenacity of their social media followers.
It seems likely that the company's lawyers didn't consult their IP colleagues. If they had, they would have been warned that the registrations were almost certainly bad-faith registrations and that subsequently the letter was an unjustified threat. Rights in the names which had been registered clearly belong to DHFC, and the attempt to register them was clearly in bad faith, particularly as they seem to have been made purely for the purpose of applying pressure on DHFC. As such, they are extremely unlikely to meet the standard of acceptable commercial behaviour to allow for valid registration.
On top of that is the threat of legal action. An unjustified threat doesn't just amount to bullying, there can be serious legal sanctions, refreshed recently through the Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Act 2017.
How unjustified is the threat in this case? Without all the details it's difficult to say, but it seems likely that the bad-faith basis of the registration, as well as the Club's prior continuous use of its marks before the registration, would prevent any action for infringement. Not a great footing for the property company to work from, then.
Nevertheless, the whole event shines a light on the importance of making sure your trade marks are properly registered before someone else does it for you. In this case, DHFC could have prevented the company's actions by registering, or, failing that, monitoring its marks and objecting the company's attempted registration. Much better to do this than hoping a twitter storm will bring results – though that option could yet be effective.

Back when I was in high school I discovered this awesome series called Cash Cab. Cash Cab was a game show hosted by stand-up comedian Ben Bailey that aired on the Discovery Channel. Bailey would drive around New York City looking to pick up random strangers. Once the contestants entered the cab, Ben would inform the party that they were part of the game if they choose to play. Players would be asked to answer questions where they would win $25-$100 for each correct answer. The game ends once the players reached their destination or if they answered wrong three times during the ride.
Cash Cab first aired on December 5th, 2005 and ended its final ride on April 18th, 2012. It was a unique game show that took place within a NYC cab with a variety of trivia questions. The cash cabs may have been out of service since 2012, but Discovery Channel is looking to revive the show soon.
After a 5-year cancellation, Cash Cab returning to Discovery Channel! The adventurous game show is returning to the Big Apple for all new episodes. Each episode will follow the same format with each contestant. Discovery Channel has not announced a set host yet, but Ben Bailey could return his position as the Cash Cab host. For an even more shocking twist, special comedians and celebrities will be driving the cab to pick up passengers. There are no other changes that will be made to the classic format, but more news is to come soon.
It's so awesome to hear that Cash Cab is returning soon! I loved watching the series and I dreamed about entering the Cash Cab when I'm in New York again. This will be interesting to see a modernized version of the series after being cancelled for over 5 years. With ride-sharing apps being the new norm for transportation, it'll be interesting if people will be taking the cab at all.
Who knows, maybe the Cash Cab will become a ride-sharing vehicle like Uber or Lyft. The Discovery Channel should consider using a ride-sharing car rather than the typical cab since millennials get a Lyft these days. Times have changed over the past 5 years and Cash Cab should consider ditching the cab to keep up with the latest trends. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with the show's format, but it would be a helpful strategy for better ratings.
For now, let's appreciate that the Cash Cab will be rolling around the streets in NYC soon. Who knows what unsuspecting passengers will win big money while on the Cash Cab!

'I Hate School' Extreme Edition
What 'School Refusal' Means and How to Fix It
What child hasn't dreaded September, the end of summer and the return to school. But for some kids, the prospect of school produces a level of fear so intense that it is immobilizing, resulting in what's known as school-refusal behavior.
These are the kids who may be absent for weeks or months. Some may cry or scream for hours every morning in an effort to resist leaving home. Others may hide out in the nurse's office. Some kids who miss school are simply truant—they'd just rather be doing something else. And sometimes there...
