Classic 2D animation returns in OhNoo Studio's Tsioque
The "playable cartoon" genre may have gone the way of the dinosaur after the advent of more complex control schemes on home consoles, but there's an undeniable charm to the lovingly hand-drawn visuals of classic arcade games like Dragon's Lair. Polish studio OhNoo is hoping others feel the same way, as its new project Tsioque has just launched on Kickstarter, along with a stunning gameplay video.
OhNoo, the studio also responsible for the recent adventure game Tormentum, describes Tsioque as "a playfully dark 2D point & click adventure" with inspiration drawn from Day of the Tentacle and Dragon's Lair. Following a princess imprisoned by "the Evil Wizard," the studio hand-drew every frame of animation, and this decision required several frames to be drawn for each second of gameplay. As you can see in the above gameplay demo (which OhNoo specifies as a demo of lesser quality than the final game) the decision appears to be paying off, with brilliant fire effects and explosions, as well as adorable character designs.
The Disney-like atmosphere isn't stopping at the animation, however. Tsioque will also feature fully voiced dialogue -- a glimpse of which you can hear in the trailer -- as well as a "dynamic music system, changing moods, and themes to fit the player's actions."
OhNoo is currently asking for $35,000 in Kickstarter contributions to make Tsioque a reality on Mac and PC, with mobile and OUYA versions arriving if $45,000 is raised. Backer rewards include a poster, plushes of the main character and a mini Imp, and even the chance to get your likeness in the game. The expected release window is October 2016, and the game is currently available for voting on Steam Greenlight. You can try out a demo for yourself on the game's official website, as well.

Main Characters: Lucian & Jinx
Some of the beasties you'll encounter; Chupacabras, Nagas, pelesit and yes, I know you've been waiting, Satyrs.
Lucian felt his body crash with hers. Somewhere, above the sudden roar of his blood he heard her swear. He inhaled, but his brain was full of her exotic scent . Her intoxicating smoke was everywhere. He knew this was bad, but it smelled so good. He closed his eyes trying to steady the screaming hunger that howled like a ghoulish wind through the deepest fibers of his being. One kiss was not enough.
Have a super week.

My name is Clémence Courrech, I am 23. I was born in the western suburbs of Paris, in a town called Poissy. I grew up in this area even though I now live in Cergy, where my university is.
Pascal, my father, is an air traffic controller at Paris Charles the Gaulle airport. He has been doing this job for about 30 years and will retire next year. My mom is Valérie; she owns a little supermarket situated about 15 minutes away driving from where my parents live. I am an only child.
I study English and education at the University of Cergy-Pontoise (15 miles away from Paris). I just finished my first year of my Masters degree there. I would like to teach English in France, in middle school or high school. I would also be interested in teaching French abroad.
Regarding my previous job experience, I took several internships this year in a middle school and a high school, with an English teacher. I got the opportunity to teach the kids some lessons. Furthermore, I've already taken part in the Amity Intern Program at Charlemagne last year. I worked in 5th grade with Madame Grabowski and Madame Carlson. It was one of the best years in my life. I loved my job at Charlemagne, working with children and sharing my culture with them. I also really enjoyed the state of Oregon and its outdoor activities. That is the reason why I decided to join this program again. Concerning other job experience, I work every weekend at my mom's shop and I used to work at a bakery at the beginning of the school year.
After this one-year internship, I would like to finish my master degree in France and to become an English teacher there.
During my spare time, I enjoy riding horses. My mom and I have been riding horses for more than 10 years now. We have a horse. His name is Fakir and he's been in the family for 18 years. I also like going to the movies, running, hiking. I really like sports and outdoor activities in general.
I am really excited to be back at Charlemagne this year and to share some of the French culture with the kids and their parents as well!

The Feingold diet is basically how we have tried to feed our boys the last 4 years: no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners.
There is no official program available for people living overseas, though we can still be members. A large part of the program is a pair of books outlining exactly which store-bought/restaurant foods are ok, and they are a US based organization, so that information is localized. I have wanted to sign up for years, but could never justify the cost (until now).
Anyone can be 100% feingold (stage 2) safe by cooking 100% of their food from scratch with safe ingredients. But we don't. We do our best to avoid any artificial additives and read every label. But it's impossible to know for sure. We miss out on a lot that might be ok, and sometimes still have trouble with things that should have been fine.
This week I registered, and I am so excited. Thanks again, mom! There is a (pretty quiet) forum that seems to have a wealth of information, ripe for the searching. And I haven't gotten access to the members FB group yet, but I know that will be a great resource, too.
We had the books sent to my mom's and will be able to use them as soon as we arrive. In the meantime, I will have the ebooks. I hope to familiarize myself with them enough that it won't be too crazy the first time we go shopping.
My only concern is how much "junk food" is approved. The Feingold diet isn't a health food or weight loss diet, and it isn't intended to be. It's just food that won't give the boys reactions. So they could technically have sugar cereal, potato chips, pop, TV dinners, and popsicles every day, as long as it's all approved.
I know I don't have to buy anything just because it's approved. But I have to admit, I have liked having an easy out keeping us clear of store bought junk all these years. I'll just have to be honest that yes, you could have that food, but no, I don't want you to eat it.
And as people so often tell me, a little bit of junk food now and then won't hurt them. Now, as long as it's Feingold approved, I can finally agree!

Tips To Assist With Your Personal Injury ClaimIf https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news-focus/news-focus-siege-mentality-at-apil-conference/5065782.article have been injured due to someone else's negligence, you should not have to pay for their mistake. Read on to learn how any individual may seek out restitution for a preventable injury. The tips here are priceless.
Even if you are in an accident and you do not feel like you are injured, go see a doctor. There are many times that injuries come up later as a result of an accident. Seeing a doctor will show that you had some concerns about your condition early on.
Do not just hire an attorney based on a television commercial. This is a common mistake people make. If you are interested in hiring one of these attorneys, make sure to fully research them before scheduling an appointment. Failing to do this may sabotage your case, costing you even more money and making it impossible to hire a talented lawyer.
Make sure that you gather all of the information you can from anyone that was involved in your injury. This means that you should get the addresses, names and phone numbers of the party that injured you as well as any witnesses that were on the scene. You should also take note of anything that is said during the time of the accident.
Getting along with your lawyer is key, but there is something more you have to look for. Choose an attorney who truly listens to what you say. If they ever appear to not be listening, don't choose that lawyer. While they may think they know it all, typically people with that belief are those who know the least.
Cooperation and communication are key when hiring any type of lawyer. Do not work with someone that you don't feel is listening to you. In addition, if the lawyer will not sign a retainer agreement, you should move on to someone else. This agreement is what outlines how much their services will cost you, and it is important to have that detail settled as soon as possible.
If you are involved in a car accident, you need to take as many photos as you can of the scene. If there is any kind of personal injury case brought up, these will help you present your case. If you have a lawyer, it will help them see exactly what happened.
A great way to find a good personal injury attorney for your case is to use referrals. Getting referrals from colleagues, family members, or friends is a great way to narrow down your attorney search. Many of these people have gone through the same process as you. This allows them to provide you valuable information on the process and how they succeeded with their attorney.
Many people do not realize all of the expenses you can claim once you have had an accident. While you may be aware of things like lost wages and the cost of medications, be aware that you can also sue for any money that you had to spend on mileage to and from the doctor and attorney's office.
Look into previous cases that the lawyer has handled. There are many different types of personal injury law, such as medical malpractice, workplace injury or car accidents. Make sure that the lawyer you choose has experience and a good track record with the type of injury that you have. Large out of court settlements, or successful outcomes in a court case indicate that he or she is the ideal lawyer to take your case.
Take pictures of the scene of your injury as soon as you can. With the technology available, you should be able to always find someone that has a camera on them. If not, you should return to the scene with one as soon as possible so that you can have evidence of what occured.
If the claims adjuster seems to be trying to get you to make a quick settlement, and you are uncomfortable with that, it may be time to hire a personal injury attorney. Getting something over with quickly usually isn't the best route to take. In fact, doing so usually means that you won't get a fair settlement.
The most important thing to pay attention to about choosing an attorney for your personal injury case is likeability. Some people mesh better together than others. In this case, it is crucial to getting a fair settlement that you and your attorney see eye to eye. If during the first meeting you are not getting along, find another attorney!
A specialized lawyer might be a better option if you have received an injury and want to file a lawsuit. Ask your usual lawyer for a referral or find friends and relatives who have dealt with a similar situation before. A specialized lawyer will get better results thanks to their experience and expertise.
Never hire a personal injury attorney without looking into their background. Just because https://www.law.com/dailybusinessreview/2018/05/03/ex-miami-lawyer-who-aided-cali-cartel-fails-to-get-back-in-florida-bar/ have a great demeanor over the phone and a winning commercial, this does not mean that they are qualified to handle your case. Look into all of their prior cases to see if there are any red flags.
Talk to different lawyers before committing to any one. You need to be certain that you could work well with your lawyer. You have to ensure that your lawyer feels good about winning, and has evidence to support that opinion.
Make sure that a limited tort does not apply to your personal injury claim. Sometimes people are limited but it can be nullified if the at fault party has previous convictions for DUI. You do not want to have your settlement limited. Check and make sure that a limited tort does not apply.
Be certain you bring witness statements or the witnesses who were there and involve themselves with making sure you're recovered. An honest testimony from a third party lends you more credibility. If witnesses were present at the time of the accident, their testimony and detailed accounts play a large role in the outcome of your case.
Personal injury lawsuit limits vary by location. To ensure you know exactly how much monetary value your personal injury case is worth, consult an attorney within your jurisdiction. A lawyer from another location may not be aware of monetary limitations, statue of limitation laws and other pertinent information. Therefore, it is wise to find a lawyer in your jurisdiction.
It is never "fair" to have suffered injury at the hands of another party. This is why you must apply what you've just learned here and get the compensation you deserve. In the meantime, you must also realize there are no guarantees. Nonetheless, following this advice will give you a better chance of proper compensation.

Coffee Shop email helps ranchers make money
Nevada agriculture specialists have taken the traditional producer coffee-shop discussions into cyberspace. Cooperative Extension's coffee shop is a national subscription email designed to provide a two-way communication network for livestock producers. The question-and-answer service provides answers to livestock production and marketing questions.
Range livestock producers operate on a narrow profit margin, so taking advantage of new technology is imperative to their financial success. But finding specific production and marketing information in a timely manner is often difficult for ranchers who reside in remote areas. Frequently, when one producer has a question or problem, neighboring cattle producers have similar questions or issues. The University of Nevada Cooperative Extension (UNCE) Coffee Shop email exchange functions as the vital link between producers and the information they need.
What Has Been Done:
During the question-answer service for UNCE's Coffee Shop, the questions and answers are then relayed back out to all email subscribers. When one producer has a question, all other subscribers benefit from the answer.
The program also allows ranchers to chat via email, not only with UNCE specialists, but also with other experts and producers. Cattlemen stay on the cutting edge of the cattle industry and get up-to-date production and marketing information right in their office. A new "Tip" section has been added to this program. New ideas are shared by ranchers for use by the ranching community to save money or make life easier on the farm or ranch.
To check out the latest tip, log on to www.nevadacattlemen.org and click on Coffee Shop in the upper right-hand corner for access to the Tips page. To subscribe, producers send an email message to firstname.lastname@example.com. Once registered, questions are sent to email@example.com.
In 2004, UNCE conducted a survey among the Coffee Shop subscribers, designed to measure knowledge gains and improve the effectiveness of electronic communications as an educational tool. Thirty-nine percent completed the survey with 84 percent of producer respondents indicating the program was effective or very effective in helping their ranching operations make money; 94 percent of ranchers said the program keeps them up to date on important issues; and 87 percent improved their knowledge of herd health management practices.
BSE ("Mad Cow") disease and Hantavirus were two issues that received the highest score in knowledge gained. Eighty-eight percent of producers indicated the program helped them make important decisions in their ranching operation. Ninety-six percent of all respondents indicated information presented on Coffee Shop is clear and concise, and the same number indicated the information presented is accurate, researched-based information.
All professional respondents said the information helped them make better decisions in their profession, and it helped keep them in touch with rural agriculture needs. Eighty-five percent of all respondents print Coffee Shop information and share it with others.
In 2005, Beef magazine's email service, Cow-Calf Weekly, consistently included the latest information discussed on the e-Coffee Shop and the editor indicated considering email discussions when making editorial decisions. Beef magazine's circulation is 100,000.

Fasten your seatbelts – It's story time, people!
Once upon a time, I lent my best friend a couple of books. I enjoyed those books very much and I wanted to share that joy with EVERYONE! Many moons went by and every time I inquired after my beloved bookish possessions my friend said that, yes of course she will eventually read them.
Seasons went by and she finally found the right moment to delve into the stories and she loved them! Well, those books – my beloved beautiful books – have been with her for about eight years and now, after so much time has passed, she has no idea anymore what happened to them and where they could possibly be. Those stories are now lost forever… And I lived happily never after!
Another time my dearest mother wanted to read some Dan Brown books of mine. As my mother you would think she knows me quite well and she would know the very close bond I share with my babies on my shelves so I of course thought she would never hurt them. Apparently I was wrong. Not only did I discover that she DOG EARED my pages, she also BEND MY BOOKS IN HALF and completely cracked the spines in several places!
Dear God, the agony! 😭
The moral of this story is, that I never again have lent my mother a book of mine.
And that, my dear readers, is why I HATE LENDING PEOPLE MY BOOKS! These two experiences scarred me for life and now every time one of my friends asks me if they can peruse my shelves and borrow some of my books I get physical pains all over my body and I wanna snatch the books away from them and never let them go, but then at the same time I want to pass on the joy I experienced while reading those wonderful stories and I want my friends to READ ALL THE BOOKS ON MY SHELVES and experience the awesomeness and ALL THE FEELS!
To me it feels like if they read my favourite stories they will suddenly understand all the secrets of the universe and elevate onto a higher plain of being! I feel like they get to know me a little bit better by walking the same fantastical worlds that I walked in and by feeling the same joy and sadness I felt while reading those stories. If people are reading my favourite books I feel that we share a very special bond that can never be broken in all eternity.
And also I have a very hard time saying "no" to my favourite people, so you see what dilemma this whole lending out books situation poses for me?!
After the incident with the books that were never to be seen again, I refused to let anyone borrow anything off my shelves. That was until the beginning of this past July. I went to Spain for a week with a close friend of mine, and beforehand she asked me if I could take two books with me for her to read. Immediately I got heart palpitations because NO WAY NO WE'RE AT THE BEACH THERE IS SAND AND OCEAN AND MY BEAUTIFUL BOOKS WILL NOT BE EXPOSED TO THESE KIND OF HORRENDOUS CONDITIONS!
But then again of course I couldn't say no to her, because firstly she's one of my best friends, and secondly she doesn't really read a lot so how could I refuse somebody who wants to further their literary knowledge?
After we got back home, she immediately came around to my place and got three more books and then I got this text after just four days:
THIS makes me so happy! And it makes all the reservations and all the anxiety I have about letting other people touch my books evaporate. There is nothing more beautiful than infecting other people, especially people that I love very much, with the joy of reading!
I would really like to hear your thoughts on this topic. Do you lend out your books? Or do you keep them locked away in a dungeon where no one but you will ever find them?
P.S.: I'm aware it's only Sunday today, but since I'm going away on a short trip and I have no idea how the internet situation is going to be I'm posting my Miscellaneous Monday post one day early.

Cookie Tycoon
Last Cookie Clicker joke for now, promise.
Last Cookie Clicker joke for now, promise.
I can't help but think you've been playing it a lot since you're so familiar with it. And CURSE YOU! for addicting me to it! I never would've known about it without your awesome comic! lol
I KNOW! I'VE PLAYED 5 DAY STRAIGHT!!!!! ;~; help me.
For those who wish to play, but want to avoid the cutesy stigma, google "Clicking Bad"
Now I sell cookies AND meth. What has this comic done to meeee… :P
I played it a ton until my windows installation got corrupted and I lost everything I hadn't backed up (my cookies being one of those things).
Best. Pun. Ever.
my all time cookie production 355,324,716,759,500,300 bow down to my cookie empire
my 12,356,200,768,754,186,954 cookies say NEVER!
my cookies got so high they stopped counting them without going into scientific notation… i think i quit somewhere around 1x 10^27 cookies baked total.
you should hit the soft reset button and just see how many heavenly chips you get and how ridiculous your cps becomes afterwards lol
Guess what? This is just how I feel.
I have tried it. I did enjoy the style of humor they were going for. But it didn't keep my interest for more than a few days. candybox2.com distracted me.
I've been playing it quite a bit, will probably stop once I have all the achievements
Looks like gamercat's rolling in the dough.
I played this for so long maaaaaan. Got kinda addicted actually, me and my friends all competed to see who could make faster progress.
I didn´t know i needed an evil cookie business overlord gif until know XD great comic BTW :D
Lol, Love this comic arc with the Cookie Clicker. You got me back into the game again and I've been playing for the last four days straight. XD
"more or less" "' mais ou menos" estou sentindo cheiro de BR no ar
Can we get the cookie rain panel as a reaction gif all by itself? It's the first time I actually wanted to use an image as a response.
When will she go back to Metal gear?
I love cookie clicker and this one sums up playing the game in one swoop.
Why, of why, did they have to add another "building"? I was getting so close to having 100 of each, then they added Prism.
I found gamercat through kickstarter and thought I'd check out the webcomic. I love it, keep up the good work.
Why ARENLT cookie plants a thing?
gAmercAt is what got me addicted to Cookie Clicker for a while… x3
Might go back to it sometime.
Found your kickstarter and instantly financed :p
And thanks to you I now know Cookie Clicker, so amazing and monstruous thing XD
The cookies will devour the earth… Oo'
Nearly 18 days later, I'm officially content in having completely gotten all of the achievements and items possible in the game >u>"""
Now to attempt to integrate myself back into a non-cookie society.
What ever you do, don't get the evil grandma power up on cookie clicker
Another relatively cookie clicker-esque browser game is a dark room, probably has the same amount of addictiveness
I had to see what cookie clicker was about after this!!!!! it was strangely weird, but interesting.
Wonderful comic, keep it up!
Is Gamercat dressed as President Business…?
Oh my gosh its raining cookies
We NEED the gif of GamerCat laughing and the raining cookies.
It's just so epic!
I'm fully addicted to this game and I can confirm that this is what it feels like. Take over the universe with cookies. *laughs evilly*
last top score I had without buying anything was 6,934,216. Last I checked. Haven't closed the game in a little while…..
I'm gonna play that now , if wasn't you i would never find out that :P (I'm a new follower of this comics O3O)
what have you done to me!?!?!? i feel just like this!

Interesting Research on Roofs – What No One Ever Told You
The Advantages of Asphalt Roofing Asphalt roofing, as well as shingles, is considered the most popular roofing solution that more and more homes and buildings are getting today. In Orem, Utah, lots of people choose to have this type of roofing for different reasons. Two of those reasons for having this type of roof is that it is economical and visually appealing. Moreover, there are many other benefits of asphalt roofing. Durability is the ultimate benefit of this kind of roofing application. This perhaps the most primary reason why many people choose this over other types of roofing. It should be noted that it is not the most durable roofing, though, but this one can go for up to ten years or more without problems. Also, compatibility with a lot of home designs is also another benefit of using this type of roofing. What material are asphalt shingles made of. Asphalt shingles, which make up asphalt roofing, is made with the mixture of fiberglass and asphalt. These two materials make roofs highly resistant to heat and other damaging outdoor elements. Similar to any shingle, they are available in small pieces that are placed skillfully on roofs. Installation requires the shingles to be nailed down. These shingles are assembled in rows that overlap the other. This installation results in a roof that is leak proof.
The Ultimate Guide to Businesses
The good thing about these shingles is that they come in different colors and shades. This makes the asphalt roofing easily adaptable to any home design. This type of roofing is also good for either a small or a big house. Asphalt roofing Orem can help you decide which style will be great for your home or building.
The Ultimate Guide to Businesses
To enjoy the benefits of having this type of roofing, make sure to have it done by the right Asphalt roofing Orem contractors. The reliable contractor offers warranty with their service. Bear in mind that only defects will be covered by the warranty, so damages from storm or any other damages from normal wear and tear do not count. Nevertheless, this guarantees that the shingles and the roof are free from defects which in turn guarantees quality. Insurance, on the other hand, is the security that you need to get for the damages that can happen in a storm or tornado. The right roofing installer can recommend a trustworthy insurance company. And in the event that your roof gets damaged, they can exactly tell you the cause and they, along with the insurance company can get you a new roof.

PoemsBook - 2009
Never afraid to shed the pretense of academic poetry, never shy of letting the power of an image lie in unadorned language, Mary Oliver offers us poems of arresting beauty that reflect on the power of love and the great gifts of the natural world. Inspired by the familiar lines from William Wordsworth, "To me the meanest flower that blows can give / Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears," she uncovers the evidence presented to us daily by nature, in rivers and stones, willows and field corn, the mockingbird's "embellishments," or the last hours of darkness.

Hi all! I am officially in the second trimester now! I am 14 weeks along and had my OB appointment this morning. First off, let me say that between Saturday, when I hit 14 weeks, and Sunday I grew! It is insane to see the growth over the last few weeks. Just in the growth overnight, I have to retire several pairs of my comfy pants cause they aren't comfy anymore! :( I guess I need to buy some bigger pants!
At my appointment this morning, all went well! The babies are looking good. They were all moving around and had heartbeats! My OB also measured the length of my cervix and it was excellent! A common problem with multiples pregnancies is the cervix begins to shorten and the risk of pre-term labor and incompetent cervix issues are increased. My blood pressure was great, which is a relief considering it was so high just 2 weeks ago. The biggest shocker came when the doc measured the size of my uterus, which has now come up above my belly button. My uterus is measuring 27 weeks (for a singleton)! That is crazy to me! I know I will measure bigger since there are four babies in there, but WOW! At 8 weeks I was measuring 13 weeks. That is 14 weeks of growth in 6 weeks!
Anyways, we are set for our first anatomy scan on July 11th with the specialist and we can hardly wait! I love seeing these squirmy little babies on the monitor! It makes this whole adventure seem real and helps me to cope with the major changes going on with my body.
I'll be updating again soon, so keep an eye out! :P

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – Two portable toilets at Chapin Park were completely destroyed by a fire that Myrtle Beach Police are calling suspicious.
An officer responded to the park at 400 14th Avenue North at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday at the request of the fire department to find a standard-size and a handicap portable restroom destroyed by a fire, according to police reports. All that remained of the standard-size restroom was "a small amount of waste material and blue water," the report stated, and while there was some plastic remaining on the ground from the handicap restroom, both were declared a total loss.
The owner of the toilets arrived and verified that they belonged to his company, the report stated, and that they were valued at about $500 and $1,800.
The fire department determined there was no need for their arson investigator to respond, as there was nothing left to process, police officials stated.

New Delhi [India], Nov.28 (ANI): Malayalam film S Durga was not allowed for screening at 48th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), which concluded on Tuesday, despite Kerala high court order.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) again intervened on the last day of the eight-day festival and wrote to the filmmakers that they have violated a rule and asked them to again submit the film for re-examination.
Its reassessment was ordered after the IFFI jury had complained about film title S Durga being written as S### Durga.
In a letter which was addressed to Shaji Mathew, the producer of the film, the CBFC stated that the film was granted U/A certificate with certain modification including the change of title from Sexy Durga to S Durga.
However, the IFFI jury in Goa complained that the title of the film on the title card is shown as "S### Durga" which has different implications and thus undermines the basis of the title registration and changes effected thereby.
"The above film will be re-examined under the provision of the Cinematograph Act, 1952 and Cinematograph (Certification) Rules, 1983, with the date and venue being notified to you soon. Till then you may not exhibit the film," the censor board said.
Sanal Kumar Sasidharan-directed film has been mired in controversy due to its title 'Sexy Durga'.
Though the title was changed to 'S Durga' and the film even received a U/A certificate, the film along with Marathi picture 'Nude' did not make it to the final list of Information and Broadcasting Ministry for IFFI.
To contest the selection, Sasidharan had moved high court, which had directed the organizers to screen the film. (ANI)

MAC Blue Brown Pigment
two gorgeous shades in one...
I have always been a massive fan of MAC cosmetics, however it was mainly their face and lip products that appealed to me. Strobe cream and Studio Fix Fluid, are among my MAC favourites! This was, until I set my eyes upon the MAC pigments. A close friend of mine had Vanilla pigment and raved about it, and so I decided to look at the range, which is how I found the beautiful creation that is Blue Brown duo-chrome pigment.
So the difference between normal eye shadows and pigments, is that pigments are highly concentrated loose powders, that have adhering qualities to help them glide and stay on the skin. Pigments really are what they say they are, PIGMENTED. They can be applied sparingly for a wash of colour, or packed on (what I love doing) to create a foiled, intense lid.
Out of the 45 shades of pigment, Blue Brown is by far my favourite. Applying as a warm coppery brown, but reflecting beautiful blue/emerald shades makes it stunning for a night time dreamy look. The tiny particles of the pigment blend out so smoothly, and any colour seems to complement the emerald brown. I usually go in the outer v with MUG Corrupt shadow, to deepen the eye for a dark dramatic look, or just simply blend out the edges with any old deep brown shadow for a more subtle look. You could honestly pair any colour with this pigment and make it work... even a bright pink! The best part about the pigment, it doesn't cake up. I use the Morphe M170-4SH Brush to pack on the colour, because it is synthetic and petite, so manages to maximise the product it picks up as well as depositing, and is small enough to apply in all the right places.
If you're bored of the usual warm browns, and matte shades, you definitely need to take a look into MAC Pigments (especially Blue Brown) because they completely change a whole makeup look with their beauty.
Spice up your eyeshadow collection and opt for a pigment next time! Let me know your opinion on MAC, or any other brand of pigments!

Motor grind! Heavier for sure!!! The work ethic is – know you music, keep buying music, and write riffs that are horrid/sharp/nasty. We'll never change or stop. SALUTE is an old Tanker!. Kaptain and I both write songs. I write alot separately and he brings shit to the table for us to jam out together with myself on the beaters. In the futue we will be writing songs in our room as a full band along with our drummer Jimmy Axe. Hes a rusher/shredder on the kit…sounds very punkish to me. Aggressive. Hes been laying down stuff for a while now. JUST YOU WAIT! GAS TANKS!
In the distro we have both albums, Above the Law and The Underground, in stock and the two vinyl splits with Occvlta and Tangorodrim.

Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro is an experience and venture that one needs to prepare for; however, preparing for an altitude climb close to 20,000 feet can be close to impossible (especially when you live at sea level).
This past week I embarked on a journey to climb the highest free standing mountain in the world. To say the experience was a team effort would be an understatement- it was more like a group of highly trained and disciplined professionals, with me tagging along on a mission they've executed a hundred times. For the lead guide, Francis, this was his 169th climb.
For myself and my friend, Trevor, it took 12 professionals to get us to the summit: 1 guide, 1 assistant guide, 1 cook, and 9 porters, each being allowed to carry 20 kg (park policy). From the first day of check in and weighing the bags, one comes to the realization that this mission is not a joke. One of our bags was 21 kg and we had to take out 1 kg- there are never any exceptions to the park's policies.
The first day you're excited and ready to go and this may very well be your first mistake as your body fights to acclimate to a 4,000 feet elevation increase to reach Machame Camp. With a time estimate of 5-6 hours, as set by the guide, my excitement got the best of me, as I came in at 4.5 hours. My body quickly reminded me that a quick hiking pace would be the very last thing I would be doing on Mt. kilimo- this hike was a combination of self discipline (slow pace, drinking a lot of water, and eating when not hungry due to the loss of appetite due to the high altitude) and determination (even when your legs don't want to move, you move). Should you forget to do any of the things in the "self disciple" category, your guides are quick to remind you. Their mission is to get you up and down that mountain, and that means making sure your body can make the climb.
Day 2 we headed to Shira Camp with a 2,700 ft. altitude increase (total now 12, 615 ft.). Although the terrain was very steep and rocky, the climb was easy due to the "pole pole" pace; also known as very slow. With a time estimate of 3-4 hours, we made it to the camp before lunch, coming in at around 3 hours and 15 minutes. Which brings me to the porters, there were 9 of them, and they were extraordinary in every possible way. Leaving camp about 30 minutes behind the guides and tourist climbers, the porters run of the mountain with 20 kg of supplies and set up camp before you arrive. Always making sure you have your tent to lay in and hot water to wash your feet upon arriving. Every morning and evening I made sure to smile and say hello to them, wanting them to know that I appreciated their work; without them I would have never made it. We even bonded over singing songs every morning and dancing- something I greatly (and I think they might have too!) looked forward to before I headed out on my morning's climb.
Day 3 we headed to Lava Tower to acclimate to the elevation we would experience at Base Camp. With a 2,400 ft. incline, sitting at 15,190 ft. we ate lunch at Lava Tower and headed down to Barranco Hut to stay the night at 12, 992 ft. The total hiking time was around 8 hours and it was the first time we truly experienced the mountain cold and elevation. As I bundled up at Lava Tower, I thought I would speed walk over to the outhouse at the site and quickly realized anything faster than a "pole pole" pace would leave my breathless and gasping for air- lesson learned.
Day 5: As the altitude got higher, the trees and shrubs disappeared, leaving a long, icy landscape for miles. For men, the bathroom wasn't an issue, but for women, we headed several feet off trail when we found a large boulder in the distance (it was best just to hold it the few hours to the next camp if you could). After 4 hours going up and down hill (I only fell once!), we finally made it to base camp! Once at Barafu Camp at 15, 223 ft. things started getting serious as we were summiting at midnight.
Arriving at the camp, exhausted from the altitude and several days of hiking, I quickly passed out after lunch and slept until dinner which was served at 6pm. The jokes and laugher had subsided and you could feel the seriousness of the situation. Francis our guide told us we wouldn't be breaking often on the summit climb since if you stopped and closed your eyes for only a second, there was a chance you wouldn't open your eyes again. Temperature was stressed repetitively and it was noted that our water may freeze (we needed to drink plenty of water before midnight) and our electronics might not work at negative 20 degrees. We were told throwing up and head aches were common, however loss of vision and motor skills would force them to medicate us and if that didn't work, we would head back down the mountain.
As we processed our marching orders it was time for a few hours sleep. As I was walking out our assistance guide, Sully, said something to our guide in Swahili- our guide told him to tell us in English- he was hesitant but said the summit was incredibly hard; you could see the nervousness on his face.
Midnight came and we headed up the summit with our two guides and a summit porter (Osmani), who carried out extra layers of clothing and emergency supplies.
About 1/4th of the way up the very very steep mountain edge people started to be guided back down, as guides held the hands of their hikers who looked dazed and confused, both suffering from complete exhaustion and altitude sickness. I kept moving very slowly along, seeing frozen vomit on the side. So far no altitude sickness, which allowed me to fully focus on placing one foot after the other. I asked for a break, the guide said no. My back was starting to ache and I needed my walking sticks. I few more feet and the guide said he would give me my walking sticks, but no break. I would like to note now that I fully credit my guide for the success of my summit climb, he knew exactly what he was doing. As we continued our climb about half way up you started seeing people sitting on the ground with oxygen tanks, one guy was talking to himself on a rock, just repeating "I'm just so tired." One woman was just dazing at the night sky sitting down with nothing in her eyes, just complete blankness. I told her she was doing great, you could tell she tried to smile but didn't have the energy. Another hiker was having her hair pulled back as she got sick, apologizing continuously.
The best thing one can do is travel in a small group, no more than 6 people. The large groups of 20+ people didn't have enough experienced professionals to take care of the hikers- no one to tell them not to sit down. About 2/3rds of the way up I was done. I had used my walking poles as stakes to place before me and pull me up the hill. The steepness wasn't subsiding and the wind had been blowing for the past hour- the cold ripping through your bones. The guide even stumbled twice as two large gusts of icy wind tore through us, telling us to get off the mountain- we kept moving. We finely got to sit, but only for a minute. The guides put more layers of clothes on me, the porter made me drink water, I told the assistant guide I needed my energy supplement (5 hour energy), he got it out of my bag and poured it down my throat. I was still exhausted but I no longer felt dead inside. One step after the other.
After 5 km (about 3 miles), 4,100 ft. of vertical incline at 19,000 ft of elevation with 30-40 mph winds, we reached Steller Point within 6 hours; the top of the mountain. At Steller point we had hot tea and the three guides and porters put more clothes on me- literally just picking me up and placing another pair of pants on.
Although excited, the guide reminded us quickly we had to keep moving and slowly (it flattens out from Steller Point to Uhuru Point, so you're tempted to move faster). We also have to move now because of the altitude – your brain swells at high altitude levels.
Once at Uhuru point, Mt. Kilimo's highest point, the assistant guide grabbed my hand and said it was time to descend and fast – that was an understatement, he literally had me running down the hill. At Steller Point I told him to follow me and we would surf down the smaller rocks on the side of the mountain, ensuring the quickest descent. We quickly finished the 2 hour descent in an hour, with a few young European men joining our rock surfing technique and flying down the mountain (it's also a lot easier on your knees than trying to walk down steep declines because your like a skipping rock going down the mountain).
Two hours ahead of schedule, I walked into our camp, the porters cheering and hugging me as I entered. I was told a porter's greatest accomplishment during a mountain climb is having their client reach the summit. A few of the porters smiled since we were half an hour ahead of the second part of our group and they started a "Strong Little Manca (my nickname)" chant.
Re- entering Base camp at 9am, we rested until 11:30am before starting our descent. Although, we were suppose to stop at another camp for night 6/ day 7, we pushed through and hiked the 8 hours to the exit gate. I don't recommend hiking 17 hours in a 19.5 hour window. The downhill is painful, which is an understatement. The steep decline slams on your knees and hips without any mercy. Having given my knee brace to a porter who twisted his knee, I used my walking sticks as crutches as I placed more weight on my arms than legs.
Once at the bottom our porters ran up to us cheering, singing, and dancing. They even gave me a bottle of champagne to pop! That evening we continued out celebration, although exhausted, making sure we didn't miss our opportunity to take in our large group accomplishment. With BBQed goat and beers, it was all smiles as the fourteen of us smiled into the night sky knowing we had just defeated Mt. Kilimanjaro or as many call it the "the mountain of cold Devils."
If you're thinking about climbing:
1. Diamox (anti-altitude medicine)- take it!
2. Pick an organization that treats their porters well (recommend Pristine Trails). These guys are your family for a week, treat them like your family.
3. "Pole, pole" – it isn't a race. Move slow, as in very very slowly. Speed is not an option if you want to make it.
4. Unless you've climbed the mountain 200+ times, listen to your guide. Don't question him, he knows the mountain. When he says "drink water" you drink. When he says "eat more," you eat.
5. Always be honest with your guide. If you have a head ache or anything is off, tell him. You're a team and his number one goal after your well being is you reaching the summit- he's going to do everything he can to get you there.


text: TV ref gets a babysitter Thursday 30 March 2006 Linston Manuels will be "assisted†by former Test referee Freek Burger the next time he serves as a TV ref in the Vodacom Super 14. Manuels' confidence has taken a big knock since he failed to award a try to Akona Ndungane, which cost the Bulls their match against the Hurricanes at Loftus. Saru's manager of referees, Andre Watson, admitted Manuels had made a mistake and withdrew him from TV duty until he'd recovered from the stinging criticism from the public and media. A week later, however, Manuels was a touch judge for the Waratahs-Blues game, and he will be back in the TV ref's booth on 15 April. Saru say Burger's presence is part of Manuals' "trainingâ€. Meanwhile, controversial Aussie ref George Ayoub - who was in charge for the Bulls-'Canes game - has been given the boot after a number of shocking performances. He was scheduled to be the referee between the Bulls and Chiefs in Hamilton next weekend and the Cheetahs and Crusaders in Christchurch on 15 April. Scott Young will now referee the match in Hamilton and Stuart Dickinson will be in charge of the match in Christchurch. ------------------ From Keo

The hip gets a little sore around the 4 mile point, but not so bad that I can't run. I did a few small hills today, but decided not to tackle cemetery hill. The half marathon is one month away and I need all my joints healthy and working by then. I do about 15 minutes worth of knee and hip exercises every evening and bought a foam roller to try to loosen up the IT band. I can't tell if the foam roller is doing anything or not. Mostly it just hurts the spots that already hurt.
Tomorrow the forecast is for 50 and sunny. I hope I can get out of work early enough to head to the park and get in a 7 mile run.
5.26 miles, 50:39 minutes, 9:37 pace
6.03 miles, 56:49 minutes, 9:25 pace (that's more like it)

BOSTON (05/10/2000) - Microsoft Corp. is due to file its counterproposal today to the government's plan to break the software maker into two companies and to impose behavioral remedies to stop its anticompetitive business practices.
The Microsoft court brief, expected after the close of the stock market today, is likely to outline behavioral remedies acceptable to the company, including allowing hardware makers more latitude in changing the Windows operating system and providing Windows versions without the Internet Explorer browser software, according to published reports, including an article earlier this week in the Washington Post.
Microsoft officials have said they will strenuously object to the breakup proposal. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and 17 state attorneys general late last month recommended that a federal judge order breaking the company in two. One of the proposed companies would focus on Windows, and the other would work on applications. The state attorneys general of Ohio and Illinois, also plaintiffs in the government's antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft, filed a separate remedy proposal seeking only behavioral remedies.
Microsoft lawyers intend to ask U.S. Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, who is presiding over the historic antitrust case, for additional time to prepare a response to the breakup plan.
Already, critics have begun blasting Microsoft's reported strategy expected in today's court filing. The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) addressed the likely proposal from the company yesterday at a press conference yesterday with SIIA President Ken Wasch and Glenn Manishin, an antitrust attorney who previously worked for the DOJ.
The Microsoft proposal will be "the antitrust equivalent of no television for a week," in Wasch's view, and tantamount to "half a loaf," in Manishin's.
Microsoft had been a member of the SIIA software trade association, but resigned in March after the group filed a "friend of the court" brief against the software maker. The SIIA has been openly critical of Microsoft's anticompetitive behavior.
Judge Jackson has ruled in the case that Microsoft is a monopoly, which isn't in and of itself illegal in the U.S. What is illegal is using monopoly power anticompetitively, and the judge ruled in a separate decision that Microsoft has done that as well. The company leveraged its operating system dominance to make inroads into other markets, notably Internet browser software, he ruled.
Additional details will follow after Microsoft files its response today.

Most techs set them up free flowing @ 8" and about 1 scfm?
The idea I think is to apply press within a reasonble range compared to playing. Too much pressure would force normally closed keys open, for example.

Dining Room / July 1, 2018 / Laurette Gautier
Continue Reading
If you don't have a separate dining zone, take a look around your home. If the occasion demands, or you just feel like it, why not set up a temporary dining area in an underused space? Position a slimline table in a narrow corridor or hallway. Keep the space fuss-free and bring in furniture from other rooms or use pieces that can be folded away, stacked or moved around at a moment's notice.
This dining space is not much wider than its window, but it has been maximised with the addition of built-in bench seating. Include storage under benches so you are not wasting any space. Add seat pads and scatter cushions in a mix of coloured fabrics. Squeeze the largest table possible between the two benches and make the space special by hanging an oversized pendant light above. A lovely, cosy arrangement.

I've switched to singing Christmas hymns to my baby as I rock him to sleep. I sing of a silent night, guarding shepherds, bright stars looking down on him. I can't get out of my head the picture of a light-drenched nativity scene--of Mary bending over her child, of Joseph standing there guarding them both, of a tiny baby swaddled in cloths.
I thought childbirth would change that. After sixteen hours of labor, I thought it would be hard for me to still picture the manger scene as a peaceful, shining, idyllic place. I thought I would have new understanding and that my eyes would be opened.
But all I can remember is that glowing, beautiful moment holding my son. It may just be hindsight (because if I really think, I remember the I-am-going-to-die-pain). Overshadowing it all, though--all the moments of pain and days of adjusting and discomfort--is this glorious joy of meeting my son.
So the manger scene remains the same. I've read the books that try to break down how challenging it must have been for Mary and Joseph. I can't even imagine riding on a donkey in the last weeks of pregnancy. Having a baby in a stable with no women to help--it's less than ideal to say the least. But I can only assume that Mary, too, must have experienced those light-drenched moments of early motherhood.
I've read all the books that talk about how brave Mary was in her obedience. While I agree that she would have had to face rejection at carrying a baby out of wedlock, I also consider her joy. After so much waiting, the Messiah was coming and she was chosen to bear him. Probably she had read the prophecies in Isaiah. Of course she had been waiting for the Savior. I remember the joy of a growing child inside of me. I can't even imagine the awe of carrying the Messiah. This lines up with Scripture if you read her Magnificat (one of my favorite passages).
And then finally--out of the fear and pain and darkness and great expectancy comes a tiny baby. Her baby. Her son.
But motherhood has changed how I view the Christmas story in a fundamental way. It is mostly wrapped up in the phrase Simeon says to Mary: "And a sword will pierce through your own soul also" (Lk. 2:35). It's the angst she felt on the way back from Jerusalem when she thought she had lost her twelve-year-old son. It's that moment of unimaginable grief on the Cross--of having to endure what even Abraham was not forced to endure--the sacrifice of her son. For her. For me. For you.
And the new mother heart in me grieves. Her boy that she had nourished, loved, and protected. To watch him learn to grasp objects in his tiny hand, to crawl and walk and talk. She had been treasuring it all up in her heart. To see him as a man stepping into his role so young. She has such faith in her son, telling the servants at the wedding in Cana to do whatever He says. But she also feels pain as she and his brothers can't even reach him and instead of making a way for them, he declares that all who do God's will are his brothers and mother (Lk. 8). Perhaps she feels rejected. And she sees him rejected by so many. She is standing at the Cross, and as he is dying, he makes sure she has a home.
God made flesh--part of her flesh. And as a sword pierces his side, a figurative one pierces her soul. I can't imagine her fear, her pain, her grief. And then--the glory of the resurrection before He leaves again with a promise to return.
So that Christmas nativity scene remains a beautiful, peaceful moment-- a silent, holy night in the midst of the chaos and pain that would come before Light would finally conquer the darkness. The newborn baby, his mother and father, the shepherd, the angels. And I can almost picture the cave-like structure in the Bethlehem hillside. But even as I sing "Raise, raise the song on high; the virgin sings her lullaby" and "all is calm; all is bright", I can't stop thinking of this verse:
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, The cross be borne for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Hours after INS Sindhuratna caught smoke, Navy Chief admiral Devender Kumar Joshi signed his resignation letter which was soon accepted by the government.
Russian-built submarine, INS Sindhuratna underwent technical failure due to which seven sailors suffered serious injuries and two navy officers are still missing. This has been the eleventh incident in six months after INS Sindhurakshak sank killing three officers and fifteen sailors on August 14 last year.
D K Joshi owned a moral responsibility for all the latest accidents and handed over his resignation to defence minister A K Antony. Vice admiral Robin K. Dhowan will be taking charge as an interim till a new navy chief is appointed.

Kids are a blessing. Having a family that loves each other and and puts God first s a blessing. This week, with news from Florida about the death of a little girl and the dysfunction that surrounded her in life, and then news last night about a father tragically taken from his family at a baseball game, I am reminded all the more what an incredible blessing a family is. Hug your kids tonight, show them you live them, and thank God for this amazing gift. Tim

It's a great feeling to get a good review in Britain's longest-running and most influential science fiction magazine, Interzone. In issue 232, Duncan Lunan gives The Immersion Book of SF a thumbs up–and Iam glad. As editor for the book, it feels great to see my choices for stories supported by such a review.

0 Flares 0 Flares × Woke up this morning and it is Valentine's all over again… Today, I am lucky to be celebrating love with my significant other, my one and only, my friend of everyday and that is, yes, I said it: my mother. I know it is not what you guys were probably expecting me to say but this year, I'm celebrating Valentine's in a different way. February 14th is first and foremost the celebration of love. On this occasion, the romantic kind is the one that comes most easily to mind but there are also all the other kinds of love that we forget about. Those would be our tender loves. This year, I was inspired to celebrate this way by TOUS, a jewelry brand that my mother and I both have a common appreciation for. Recently, TOUS has launched a campaign celebrating tender loves. Those are loves of a different kind such as the love between a mother and a daughter, between sisters and brothers, or even the love that we might have for our pet. All in all, TOUS invites us to celebrate all the love present in our lives. Wrapping up on this special post, I would like to invite everyone to celebrate thier tender loves today. Yes, I won't lie, I did get a piece of jewelry for my mom but showing your love can be done in so many different ways. Write your loves a special card, buy them a flower or a special treat and if you feel like going down the same road as I did, check out TOUS' lovely product selection. They make a wonderful and unforgettable gifts

Charity Flowers Fundraising Page
Turn2us is a national charity that helps people in financial hardship to gain access to welfare benefits, charitable grants and support services.
Turn2us exists to help the 13 million people – including 3.6 million children - living in poverty in the UK today.

You can support our work whenever you choose to purchase your flowers from Arena Flowers. When you place an order at the Arena Flowers website, you will be giving more than just beautiful flowers - you'll be helping to transform the lives and prospects of individuals and families struggling financially - because Arena Flowers will donate 25% of the total cost of your bouquet (excluding VAT and delivery cost). For the donation to be recorded you must click on the link on the Turn2Us website. Please contact the charity for more details.
