Thou hast returned!
I am so happy you have come back to my world.
I have been very busy exploring my home lately, I found a journal that tells a story about the origin of this caslte and
how it was built a long time ago by a powerful sorcerer. whose name has long been forgotten. This sorcerer was very
much in Love with a beautiful Princess. Her name was Anastasia. The sorcerer wanted to spend eternity with Anastasia,
so he built this castle as a gift for the princess. Now, the princess wanted to be sure the sorcerer really Loved her, so
she told him it would take more then a castle to win her Love.
The sorcerer spent many a long day trying to come up with something that would prove his Love for Anastasia.
As the sorcerer drifted off to sleep one night, he had a dream of a majestic animal that looked as a horse, but had
a beard as that of a goat and a long spiral horn protruding from its head. In the dream, this animal spoke to the sorcerer
The animal called itself a Unicorn and told the sorcerer of a spell that would turn a special horse into a Unicorn.
The Unicorn told the sorcerer to find a white male horse with a heart shaped mark on its mane and recite the spell he
was given. The horse would turn into a Unicorn and have magic powers to heal and protect the pure of heart.
The sorcerer awoke from his strange dream and made preparations to set out in search of the horse that would be
transformed into a Unicorn. Then he would give this unique creature to the Princess as proof of his eternal Love for
The sorcerer met with Anastasia and told her he was about to embark on a quest to prove his Love for her.
She wished him well as he rode off into the distance. After many years of searching and failing to find the one horse
that bears the mark, the sorcerer had all but given up hope. The sorcerer was tired and weak and far away from
home, he just stood next to his horse with his head hung low, when he saw out of the corner of his eye, a tiny heart
shaped mole on the neck of his own horse.
All these years of searching and the marked beast was right under him the whole time. He spoke the words that were
given him in the dream so long ago, and in the blink of an eye his horse had transformed into a beautiful Unicorn.
The Unicorn was even more majestic than the one in the dream.
The sorcerer and Unicorn left at once for home, and unfortunately that is all that I have found on this legend so far.
I wonder if the Princess and the sorcerer ever got together? Perhaps I will find the answer to that somewhere in this
I did find a hidden room where there are portraits of a Unicorn and the painting of a man. I believe the man is the sorcerer
and the Unicorn is the very first Unicorn in the world.
Would you like to see them?
Follow me to the hidden room........Right This Way

To this day, Henry David Thoreau remains one of the most popular naturalist writers of all time. And for good reason – his iconic work, Walden, helped change the way we think about nature, art and self. A big part of the Transcendentalism movement, he also helped define "Civil Disobedience," which has been influencing world leaders and activists for decades. As an essayist, a poet and a philosopher, Thoreau was one of those thinkers who always felt like he was ahead of his time.
Today, July 12, just happens to be Thoreau's birthday, and we're more than excited to celebrate it. And not only that – Thoreau was born on July 12, 1817, in Concord Massachusetts, which means today is actually the 200th anniversary of his birth. It's crazy to think that Thoreau has been influencing our world for 200 years already. But because of that, it's also the perfect time to celebrate everything he's done for society, from his work as an abolitionist, to his contributions to politics and the natural world. Work based on his life continues to emerge, including the latest release, just in time for his birthday, Laura Dassow Walls' Henry David Thoreau: A Life (Univ. of Chicago Press, July 7, 2017) and it's already a bestseller on Amazon in the Environmentalist & Naturalist Biographies.
The Thoreau Society is certainly no stranger to celebrating Thoreau's work and life. Their mission is to "stimulate interest in and foster education about Thoreau's life, works, legacy and his place in his world and in ours." So of course they're celebrating his 200th birthday in style, with a reading and celebration in Bayfield, Wisconsin. But if you can't make that event, then join us in celebrating Thoreau's 200th right here. Not only is it a great time to dive back into Thoreau's greatest works, but we've also hand-selected a few recent books that we're sure Thoreau would have loved.
As a present to the late, great philosopher, here are four books that we would love to gift wrap for Thoreau's 200th birthday:
The Bright Hour, Nina Riggs (Simon & Schuster, June 6, 2017)
At the heart of most of Thoreau's works is a thoughtful examination of his place in the world. That's the same thoughtfulness that Riggs brings to her new memoir about life and death. After being diagnosed with terminal breast cancer at a young age, Riggs decided to confront her reality head on. Her memoir is a bold grappling of her diagnosis and what it means to live when you know your time is running out. About Riggs's life and her certain future, The Bright Hour is one of those books that will have you laughing, crying, and contemplating what it means to be human. And, fun fact, Riggs is the great-great-great granddaughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson (something she also grapples with in her memoir), a writer who also happened to be very close friends with Thoreau.
Natural Selection, Dan Pearson (Guardian Faber Publishing, May 2, 2017)
There's no denying that Thoreau loved nature, particularly man's place in the natural world. So we know that he would have been drawn to Natural Selection, a close look at Pearson's personal experience with gardening over the course of a year. Pearson walks the reader through his own plots, both in the city and the country, showing that nature can exist in lots of different forms. From the abundant gardens of late summer to the quiet cultivating winter, this book is both a guide and a treatise on what it means to garden in our modern world. Bringing man back to nature is a theme close to Thoreau's heart, so Natural Selection would have made a perfect gift for the 200-year-old naturalist.
A Column of Fire, Ken Follett (Viking, September 12, 2017)
In addition to being a writer and a naturalist, Thoreau was also a historian who looked to the past to help understand the world around him. Since no one writes historical fiction quite like Follett, we're positive that Thoreau would have been a fan. In his latest, Follet brings us back to Kingsbridge Cathedral in 1558, where the politics and religions of England are more uncertain than ever. At the heart of his story is Ned Willard and his love, Margery Fitzgerald, who are torn apart by their differing religious backgrounds. Enter Queen Elizabeth, a fledging secret service, and even more religious conflict, and you've got a complex narrative that only a writer of Follett's caliber could pull off. Thoreau was no stranger to political strife, and this is exactly the book we could see him escaping inside of while he sat by the shores of Walden Pond.
A Beautiful Composition of Broken, r.h. Sin (Andrews McMeel Publishing, July 25, 2017)
Thoreau was a beautiful poet, and his poems about nature still stand out 200 years later. We're sure he'd love A Beautiful Composition of Broken, a new collection by popular poet r.h. Sin. This time, Sin is tackling concepts of identity, race and sexuality, and what it means to be on the outside, persecuted and misaligned. Since Thoreau always had a voice for the marginalized, we know this is a message he'd get behind. Personal as well as universal, A Beautiful Composition of Broken is the modern collection of poetry that you've been waiting for.

Over the past few weeks I have been wondering if I should slow down a tad, give myself a break from my little business. After all, I am at an age where many folk are in retirement villages or (gasp) nursing homes. Then this morning I discovered this remarkable woman.
Her name is Ann. She is 81 years old and she has just won the BBC's Great British Sewing Bee. Eighty-one. My goodness.
This morning I sat in front of my computer watching the final episode of the series. I was so excited that I had to pause the programme while I rushed into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. The three finalists were aged 27, 48 and 81 - quite a wide range in ages and each was so inspirational in her own way.
But it was the winner Ann who had the ability to fire up my lagging enthusiasm. Even better came the last postscript in the programme ...
She is now a quilter!
If you have an hour to spare, do yourself a favour. Make a cup of coffee, put a cushion on your computer chair, sit back and be delighted.
To complete my day, I had an early morning visitor who dropped by just as I finished watching the video.
It also happens to be Anzac Day - a time to remember all those in the armed forces who sacrificed so much so that we can enjoy this wonderful life we have today. They are my ultimate inspiration.

London's No to Brexit has lessons for Mumbai
However ill-informed or misguided the Bexit vote, it exposed an economic divide. The trickle-down effects of the global finance and services economy don't trickle down, after all. If Mumbai's future growth is based on this template, it is time to wake upmumbai Updated: Jun 30, 2016 00:13 IST
These are post-Brexit days even in Mumbai. In sleek board rooms and tony drawing rooms, in the financial district and the share-bullion markets, the historic referendum in the United Kingdom to remain in or leave the European Union would have generated interest. But when Brexit and its impacts are recurring themes in political-policy talk and commuter chatter in suburban trains, it is evident that the referendum result has found resonance in Mumbai.
Defying poll pundits and common sense expectations, 52% of voters opted to leave the EU believing that the vote would enable to "take back control" of Britain and "make it great" again.
Read: Brexit referendum: A lot of sighs between 'leave' and 'left'
The 42% who wanted to carry on in the EU, reports said, were mostly in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but also in cities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Norwich and London. It was the vote in London that made for vibrant discussion in Mumbai, two cities with commercial and cultural ties that go back centuries.
London, of course, had voted against the trend with the majority 60% of its voters and 28 of its 33 boroughs choosing to remain in the EU. In the post-Brexit confusion, London's mandate was not all that surprising. Liberal urban world-view may have had something to do with it, but self-interest definitely did. Beyond all history and culture, London is nothing if not Europe's capital for money.
London generates $60 billion for the UK economy as a financial and legal powerhouse, and trade gateway to Europe; its staggering $800 trillion a year trading in foreign currency makes it the hub in this business; it is also the centre for ship insurance, brokerage, commodity trading, according to the BBC. The City of London or the gilded square mile, London's financial district, shuddered as the implications of the Brexit result sunk in.
Globalisation and its jobs, London's development as Europe's financial powerhouse, meant a class of people — migrants and residents alike — were deeply vested in that urban economy. The outskirts of London, like the majority in the country, deduced that that economy had taken away their jobs and ruined livelihoods, as journalists have been documenting. There was talk, loose talk, about whether London could exit England.
The divide between the urban working class and elite was never sharper; the former felt they had no stake and no place in this booming economy.
Mike Carter reprised the momentous 35-year-old People's March for Jobs from Liverpool to London last month. "Stafford, Cannock, Wolverhampton. Different towns, same message: 'There's no decent work'; 'the politicians don't care about us'…Nobody used the word humiliation, but that's the sense I got," he wrote in The Guardian.
This aspect of the Brexit vote, this divide, should be sobering for policy wonks and politicians whose next mega project is to turn Mumbai into an international finance centre. The city always had its wealthier and poorer areas, but recent policies to make it maha-attractive to global finance meant that selected areas received special and lavish attention. Think Parel and Bandra Kurla Complex. The opportunity cost was paid by areas such as Govandi, Cheetah Camp, and slums that badly needed the investment.
"Two distinct cities exist within one," stated the Human Development Report for Mumbai prepared by the UNDP six years ago. It found the "two segments, rich and poor (parts of Mumbai), occupying completely different economic, physical and social spaces even as they share a geographical territory". The divide has sharpened since then.
It is no surprise that the class of Mumbaiites yoked to the world economy has periodically argued that Mumbai should be separated into an autonomous or self-governing zone — to loud and often violent recriminations from parties such as the Shiv Sena. It is not a coincidence that the Sena advocates a strong anti-migrant policy centred on jobs in Mumbai. The irony that this is against the working class perhaps escapes its leaders.
However ill-informed or misguided the Brexit vote, it exposed an economic divide, that was and continues to be exploited by racists and bigots. The "trickle-down effects" of the global finance and services economy did not trickle down, after all. If Mumbai's growth is based on this template, it is time to wake up.

Under 16 players who were chosen as part of the original Brisbane squad participating in the SEQ U16 Pre-Season Challenge, and not selected for a team spot, have been offered a representative game against an U16 Toowoomba side this weekend.
Due to the highly contested Brisbane U16 representative team spots, several players haven't yet had the opportunity to display their skills in front of selectors. The additional one-off game recognises the nine weeks of fortitude shown in committed training without playing a game, and provides the opportunity for players to prove their worth for selection on the Southeast Queensland team to play in the Queensland State Carnival in July 2018, to be hosted in Mackay.
Round 4
Saturday 24 March at Emerson Park, Bega Street, Grange:
Brisbane v Toowoomba 1pm
Ipswich v Gold Coast Yellow 2pm
Brisbane Red v Gold Coast Yellow 3pm
Brisbane Blue v Brisbane Grey 4pm

We think the best way to visit Napa or Somona is on a small-group wine country tour from San Francisco. It's an easy drive from the city, so you can see a lot in one day, and the small group ensures personal attention and plenty of time for interaction with the expert guide, winemakers, and wine servers.
The small-group Wine Country tours we prefer include lunch, or they cover a lot of different wineries, and may include both Napa Valley and Sonoma. And, if you're pressed for time, Sonoma is close enough that you can easily fit in a visit in half a day!
Check with Booking.com to find today's sale prices on hotel rooms in Napa Valley. Save 20% to 30%… or even more!
Booking.Com Napa Valley Hotel Deals
After being picked-up directly from your San Francisco hotel, you travel by luxury van to the Wine Country's lush, vineyard-covered hills.
There you visit some of Sonoma Valley's top wineries, where you learn about the wines as you taste them. After lunch in a gourmet restaurant, you travel to Napa Valley where you toast the end of your journey with a glass of bubbly at a specially reserved table at Domaine Chandon. This scenery-filled tour is limited to 13 people to ensure personal attention.
Calling all wine lovers – this is another small-group wine tour we like! It takes you to some of the best of Napa and Sonoma wineries.
You visit up to six boutique wineries to discover the differences between varietals. Drive through Northern California's famous wine appellations — Stag's Leap, Rutherford, St. Helena and Glen Ellen.
Although there's plenty of wine tasting, there's also time to enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the wineries. On the way back, you have the option of ending your tour in Sausalito before taking the ferry back to the city. Includes transportation to and from your hotel.
Journey in a mini-bus through the rolling hills of Sonoma Valley to visit three boutique wineries, sampling five to six tastings of several varietals.
At a family-owned winery in the heart of Sonoma you have the chance to enjoy a picnic lunch. You're free to open a bottle of wine from your purchases, making the picnic even better! There's a stop in Sonoma's downtown to wander, shop and taste cheeses and local, artisanal chocolates. This tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, wine tastings, picnic lunch, and chocolate & cheese tastings.
Don't have a full day to tour wine country? The Wine Country is close enough to San Francisco that even this half-day tour can take you to Sonoma's hidden, out-of-the-way wineries — making the most of every minute.
You have time to visit two highly-regarded wineries for a flight of tastings at each one. Along the way you enjoy the spectacular scenery as your guide tells you the history of wine making in California and why Sonoma produces some of the best wines in the world. Includes hotel pickup.

a much needed break
Project Life album but I still need to purchase an actual album for my photo sleeves. Perhaps with my first job paycheck. I thought these cute ceramic baskets from Anthropologie would be perfect for storing photos and journal cards. I never thought I'd be a scrapbook person but I love taking photos of everyday small things and create the layouts. I really want to learn to be at photoshop and this Learn by video thing seems like it would really help. All the books I've seen are HUGE and I just don't know if I'd ever get through them. Alrighty I'm going to go back to studying mental health assessments.

long list+short list
The short list:
1. Just keep studying!
2. Get the guts to sign up for the boards
3. make something for fun
The long list:
1. Find a job
2. move to somewhere else
3. go to the waterpark
4. take NBCOT exam and PASS IT!
5. complete a month of project life
6. make mini pies
7. go to the new brewery in pittsburgh
8. fit in all the fun summer things before its over
9. go to the drive-in again
10. finish my quilt
Wow, that long list starts off a little scary. I'd much rather focus on going to the drive-in and finishing my quilt than planning a life changing move and getting a job.
My plans for the night include an insane amount of studying followed by trashy TV in bed with the air conditioner on.

Soo much information!
I have been buying everything in yellow lately. I went to Target this afternoon to get away from my pile of books and try to relax. I also needed orange juice. I have had the weirdest craving for orange juice and I usually never drink it. I made a trip to Walgreens for my developed photos and started my photo album. I love it so far and can't wait to order the actual album. I only have the plastic sheets right now because I am trying not to spend a dime until I get a job.
I took a practice test this morning and I did pretty good. The ones in the slim book are so much better! Tonight I am going to study for a few hours and plan to take another practice exam on Friday. I can't wait until this test is OVER! I still need to schedule it for the 19th. (gulp).
Annie is staring me down right now so I should probably take her out for a walk.

Philip's gone and I'm still not studying
I dropped Philip off at the airport this morning. I missed him the moment I got home to the quiet apartment. I feel like I'm going to have too much time to think while he's gone.
I took Annie pup to the park today and went over to Olivia's house to review for the NBCOT exam. We walked up to Cold Stone Creamery and got giant waffle cones for Rachel's birthday. I wish we could take the exam as a group of 4.

Chocolate Sundae
The other day I asked my husband to get a small tub of ice cream to make some ice cream soda. He bought two large tubs. He had a pretty good reason for buying so much ice cream but I cannot remember what it was. You cannot return ice cream so I had to use up the two tubs. As a treat my family got to eat some new and old favorites with ice cream. Watch this space for more.
You will need
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 tbsp. or more chocolate sauce
whipped cream as needed or whip heavy whipping cream
chopped peanuts
maraschino cherry (optional)
To assemble: If using heavy whipping cream whip it until light and fluffy just before using it. Scoop the ice cream in a bowl. Add the whipped cream. Pour chocolate sauce. Garnish with nuts and a cherry.
This is my entry for week three, day one of BM #53 for the theme Ice cream all the way. Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#53.

The Moto X+1 has reared its head before on the Moto Maker website, lending speculation of the successor to the massively popular Moto X, and it appears that the upcoming device has made yet another appearance, albeit brief.
Earlier today the Moto X+1 appeared on Motorola's own website, but was quickly taken down. Whilst not revealing much, since it was just a landing page for the device on AT&T, it did reaffirm that the device exists and could be priced at $ 400.00 off contract.
The Moto X+1 is expected to have a 5.2-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC, an Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
The device is expected to be released in 'late summer' so it shouldn't be too long to wait until we get to see exactly what the Moto X+1 is all about.
The post The Moto X+1 makes another appearance on Motorola's website appeared first on AndroidGuys.

Wednesday's called Hump Day in reference to making it through to the middle of the work week, or literally getting "over the hump." Of course, soon the weekend's here again. Which makes me generally happy, because I wouldn't have to worry much about work and all. Our Hump Day boy is a cute amateur, who was once a contestant at the Ginoong Pilipinas 2005 – Metro Manila elimination round. Boyish Jericho Francisco is already 23 years old and a native of Nueva Ecija province.
Hump Day with Jericho!

our distant uncle Jack, pulled pork topped with mac-n-cheese, I had a ton of fun at the Blackhawks-Predators game and the Giants actually won for the first time in two months.
There was only one minor thing that went wrong.
Ok, I may be blowing that slightly out of proportion. When I say "hit by a car," what I really mean is more "nudged by a slowly rolling automobile and not suffering even a bruise," but the shock is about as dramatic as you could expect, particularly when after being stuck in traffic for an hour in search of a restaurant and a parking space we found the restaurant had free valet parking. Irony. In any event, on Friday night just hours after arriving in the Volunteer state, my friend Jill and I walked in downtown Nashville toward our ultimate destination, Puckett's Grocery, a highly-recommended home of greasy southern fare that truly hit the mark. Just let your eyes get lost in that fried cookie dough brownie sundae I had for dessert. The only stumble came when my brother frantically called me after hearing from his wife that someone had written on Facebook about me getting hit by a car.
I probably should have explained in more detail that I was merely bumped by a driver who wasn't looking as he made a right turn on a red light (and also that I had the right of way), but people only communicate in 140 characters or less these days, so I was in quite the pickle.
No matter.
The rest of my weekend went off with few-to-zero hitches. Nashville truly lives up to its nickname, which I can confirm even though Jill, Lindsay, Matt and I were all scared away from the Country Music Hall of Fame because entry was $25. Nearly every bar in the city has a live country band jamming away while you drink your $3 miller lites and the stretch of Broadway near Bridgestone Arena is as lively as any city I've been to on a Saturday night. Even hockey games come fully equipped with a country music band to liven up the proceedings.
Chicago came away with a 3-1 win, though much of the game was tightly played, but if there was a reason the Blackhawks outplayed the Predators it may have been because they felt like they were at home considering my scientific research shows the arena was more than 50% Blackhawks fans.
The next day started inauspiciously after I jumped out of the shower when I realized I was supposed to be interviewing someone and had forgotten about the time change. After sorting that out, we headed to LP Field along with roughly 21 other football fans to watch the quadrennial clash of "Teams Named After Large Things" when the Giants faced the Titans. New York came out with a resounding victory, its first in quite some time, though the game wasn't without some moments of Eli being Eli.
You take the good with the bad. The good: Nashville was a great time. It was almost so good that I forgot they tried to steal my Devils back in 1995. The bad: Now that I've seen the Titans, Predators and the home of Jack's No. 7 Whiskey I have no required personal reason to return. I guess I might actually have to find a reason to visit another city that doesn't revolve around seeing a professional sports team.
I know, I think it's crazy, too. Anyone know if the Rays are considering Nashville?

A featherweight showdown between Jeremy Stephens and Josh Emmett will serve as the headliner for UFC on Fox 28.
The promotion confirmed the bout to the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. UFC on Fox 28 takes place at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla., on Feb. 24 and also includes a light heavyweight clash between Ovince St. Preux and Ilir Latifi as well as a strawweight scrap pitting Jessica Andrade against Tecia Torres.
A veteran of 26 Octagon appearances, Stephens enters the matchup riding a two-fight winning streak. "Lil Heathen" is coming off a second-round technical knockout of Doo Ho Choi in the UFC Fight Night 124 headliner this past Sunday. Prior to that, he outpointed former Strikeforce champ Gilbert Melendez at UFC 215.
Emmett, meanwhile, has been victorious in four of his five Octagon appearances. The Team Alpha Male product established himself as a person of interest in the division with a first-round knockout of former title challenger Ricardo Lamas at UFC on Fox 26. However, Emmett did not make weight for the short notice bout.

The head hair of humans has gained an important significance in all the present societies and throughout the world. In this the haircut plays a significant cultural and social role. For ages haircuts have been a distinctive form of class separation and self-expression. Both men and women also have their typical and individual styles. Depending on the culture it can be used to determine social status or to even make a cultural statement. Changing the hairstyle can significantly change the way a person looks as an individual or as a society. In recent days hair cut have obtained fame in the market because of the varied styles available.
Hair cutting is the art of trimming or cutting or shaping the hair with the help of scissors or shears or any other tool. The quality of a hair cut depends on the quality of the tools that are used bad tools can be obstacles to a good haircut. It is wise to choose the best tool to achieve the style and results as aspired. The hair cutting tools used are the instruments of creativity.
Hair Cutting Tools
All the hairs are not the same, and neither are the haircutting tools. Unique hair cutting tools are to be used for different hair volumes and hair styles. Some of the tools that give quick and accurate cuts are.
Hair Comb:
Hair Combs were one of the oldest and first beauty implements or tool created by mankind. Hair comb is a device made of solid material, which is generally flat, always toothed, and is used in hair care for straightening and cleaning hair or other fibers. Hair combs do not only have value as cosmetic implements but has given users an evolutionary advantage by helping in the endless fight against parasites.
In early days combs were made of bone, ivory, wood, silver, brass, and tin. Later tortoise shells and horns (the advantage of these was that they could be made soft and moldable by heating and would harden and retain new shape when cooled) became the most common materials used for making combs. Hair combs are a universal and very essential item that can be found in all parts of the world, each having developed their own particular style and use of materials.
In recent days technology has made it possible to refine the comb and they can be made of plastic, ceramics, metal and more. Combs are very important to achieve the hair style desired. Large combs are used to detangle hair after a shampoo and then a styling comb to style the hair. Different combs are used for different purposes.
The varieties of combs available are cutting combs, ceramic combs, styling combs, ionic combs, thermal combs, shampoo combs and many more. The stylist has to find the right comb to fit the purpose.
Combing out the hair is the final step in creating the hair style. If a hair lacks height or volume tease or back comb it with the appropriate comb.
Scissor is a tool used for cutting thin material and requires little force. The term "scissors" and "shears" are used interchangeably. Shears are nothing but scissors that are longer than 15 cm. A pair of scissors consists of two pivoted blades (overlapping blades); each called scissors which are not symmetric. The asymmetry is true regardless of the orientation and shape of the handles.Most types of scissors are not particularly sharp; it is primarily the shearing between the two blades which does the cutting cuts. Children's scissors are even less sharp, and the blades are often protected with plastic. There are so many different styles of scissors and shears to choose from which would be a perfect fit for the hand.
Scissors are used for cutting hair and nails. Either to cut hair that is wet or dry, fine or coarse, straight or curly, scissors are the best on the market. They are made of the finest materials and designed in such a way to give the best results of top performing professional hair cutting shears. The varied scissors available for cutting are stainless shears, Japanese scissors, alloy shears, barber scissors, forged steel shears, thinning shears, and left handed shears and many more.
Infrequent trimming is the vital cause of hair breakage or loss of hair or less hair growth. To shun this hair needs to be trimmed on a regular basis approximately once in four to five weeks. Trimming scissors are used for thinning thick hair to avoid a bushy look or to reduce the volume of the hair. Use the best scissors and shears when reshaping to make sure that each stage for growing hair out is stylish as desired.Continue to: Hair Brush, Clippers, All in 1 tool, Hair Dryer

Car Parts
Genuine Quality Parts
These are car parts that we would call 'manufacturers' parts – like Honda, Nissan, Peugeot, Ford, Renault, Citreon, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, etc.. – and are 100% genuine parts, supplied direct from the vehicle maker. Usually, this is the most expensive option for replacement parts.
Aftermarket Parts
These are car parts that are an identical 'replica' of the parts which are supplied by the main manufacturers' dealerships. These 'after market' parts are relatively cheaper than what we would pay any dealerships for the genuine quality parts – indeed, most of the time there is a large difference in price.
Any of the after market brands are made to the same original equipment manufacturer specifications – OEM specification – that the dealership parts are made to.
Aftermarket car parts are widely available from places such as eBay, and across the internet. There are also big nation wide companies like Dingbro, Euro Car Parts, TMS Car Spares, Autoparts, these are a few of the local companies that we would use for such parts.
These local car parts depots can supply the majority of parts we require for repairs within 24 hours of placing an order.
Used Car Parts
Another option for car parts are second hand, used car parts which can be bought from a scrap yard or car breakers yard. They could also be bought from private car owners selling used parts in places like Ebay, Gumtree etc.. You are welcome to contact your local yard to find out if they have your vehicle type, and parts, or we can help to source the parts for you.
Please note: – SECOND HAND PARTS CAN BE ARRANGED FOR YOUR VEHICLE AND THESE PARTS ARE FITTED AT OWNERS RISK. THIS GARAGE WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE PARTS ONCE PURCHASED OR FITTED.

Formatting tips
Title Page:
(1) Page headers are in the upper right corner of the title page and the rest of the pages—only page numbers.
(2) Running head is left justified on same line as the page number on the title page, and repeats there on each subsequent page in the header, without the term Running Head. The title is in all caps on all pages.
(3) Title, byline, and affiliation are in the middle of top half of the title page.
A sample is on page 41.
Referencing electronic sources
The introduction of the DOI (digital object identifiers) as the "address" of journal articles, replacing URLs. See Chapter 6.31, p. 187. The doi is usually found on the top or bottom of the article title page.
There are still five levels, but if you only use one level, you use Level 1; if you use two, you use Level 1 and Level 2, etc. See Chapter 3.02-.03, pp. 62-63.
How do I cite PowerPoint presentation slides?
Use the format given for conference handouts for unpublished papers or presentations. If the slides are from a class, be sure to indicate the date, class, and university. When making reference to a particular slide, refer to the slide's number in place of the page number so that readers can quickly find the information.
Smith, A. B. (2012, March 4). Abnormal behaviors. Presented at a NSG 327 lecture at Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing & Health Sciences.
How do I cite my lecture notes?
Consider it as 'personal communication' because it includes 'unrecoverable data'. Personal communications are only cited within the text and are not included in the reference list.
In a lecture on January 20, 2012, to a NSG 322 class, Professor Smith said...(A.B. Smith, NSG 322 lecture, January 20, 2012).
How do I cite a class handout?
Since a handout can be requested by a reader from the professor the class, 'unpublished paper or presentation' is the most similar type of reference. Your professor should be considered the author. Be sure to provide information about the class and university.
Smith, A. B. (2010, Spring). Abnormal behavior in children. NSG 322: Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing & Health Sciences.
How do I cite an article from a course packet?
The reference should be based on the specific source. If you are using information from a handout in the course packet, use the format suggested for 'Class Handout'. If it is a journal article, it should be cited as a journal article. Don't focus on the packet as a whole; focus on the individual source. Include as much information in the citation as your can, and leave out what you don't know.
How do I cite laws or court decisions?
Please refer to Westfield State College's "Citing Legal Materials in APA style".

The Dark Side of Self-Loathing and Insecurity—and How to Avoid It
Are the self-loathing likely to be abusive in relationships?
Posted Nov 06, 2011
What accounts for the difference in what Dr. Nowinski and I wrote? Certainly, insecurity and self-loathing are not identical, and there is much room for variation within each one. But for the purposes of examining their effects on relationships I think they can be considered very similar: each involves a person feeling inadequate or unsure about some aspects of him- or herself, specifically as it relates to or affects his or her romantic relationship. In this aspect I think they can considered to be the same (or, at least, largely overlapping).
If my vision of self-loathing and Dr. Nowinski's vision of insecurity cash out the same way in terms of relationships, then what explains the difference in how the two of us see these relationships playing out? Mind you, Dr. Nowinski does not predict dire consequences for all relationships with insecure people, being very clear that insecurity "is not an all-or-none thing." But his position is that the success of the relationship depends on the level of insecurity: some people are too insecure to maintain a relationship, while others with milder insecurity may be fine. While I agree that the intensity of the problem certainly plays a role in the likelihood of a happy relationship, I would add that this likelihood also depends on how the insecure person (or self-loather) deals with his or her problem—and this, I think, explains the difference in how Dr. Nowinski and I describe the issues involved.
Let's take Dr. Nowinski's example of Grace and Adam: Adam is described as a classic underachiever, "shy and quiet," but was eager for a relationship with Grace and willing to be faithful to her. But after six months, he began criticizing her clothing choices, abusing her verbally, and trying to stop her from socializing with friends or even being in a different room from him. Several commenters to my posts on self-loathing have described similar behaviors with their own partners, but I have not touched on anything like this in my posts on the topic. Why not?
In terms of the different problems that arise in such relationships, consider two ways the self-loathing or insecure person can deal with his or her particular issues: use your partner to raise you up, or pull your partner down to your level. There are ethical issues with both options, because to some extent you are using the other person to make yourself feel better, while possibly not fully appreciating him or her as a person deserving of care and respect. In other words, both behaviors focus on you and not on the other person, who should be an equal partner in the relationship, regardless of your feelings toward yourself.
Is a person with more severe feelings of inadequacy more likely to express them negatively toward his or her partner? Perhaps, if your capacity to maintain concern and respect for others is drawn from the same well as your (limited) capacity to maintain the same attitudes toward yourself; or if you see success in life as a zero-sum game in which you can only rise if another falls; or if you feel your lack of achievement can be blamed on others and therefore others should suffer for it. But if your self-loathing or insecurity stems from a deep-seated feeling that everyone else is "better" than you by nature, then you would be more likely to see others as examples to live up to. And if you have to chance at a relationship with someone you see as having superior qualities, you would want to benefit from them rather than resent or inihibit them. Little of this depends on the intensity of the self-loathing or insecurity, but rather on your attitudes toward other people in light of them.
That still leaves plenty of room for problems in the relationship, as I detailed in the earlier post, but they deal more with the self-loather's internalization of his or her own issues rather than outward (negative) expression of them. I think Dr. Nowinski and I are describing people with similar problems but who are dealing with them in completely opposite ways, which reflect different levels of respect and concern for their partners. In short, people suffering from self-loathing or insecurity have real issues which deserve sympathy and compassion, but which do not justify projecting or imposing them on other people, in particular their romantic partners—ironically, those who are most likely to extend the sympathy and compassion most needed in these situations.

The son of a pair of shoemakers, Samuel Skye had a relatively comfortable upbringing. He worked for a time as an assistant in his parents' shop and did a stint in the Acryn Cadets but neither were particularly for him. He had a philosophy that people were inherently good and only did bad things because of a lack of understanding of other people. Hence, he founded the Postal Corps as a way to help people communicate with each other, no matter how far apart they were.
Currently, he holds the titles of Councillor, Postmaster General, Headmaster and Mushroom King.

Founded as a small courier service consisting of only one man with dreams above his station, the Postal Corps has grown to have offices in six cities over two continents. While many of the local Post Officers are basic couriers, those tasked with carrying messages between settlements are highly trained in combat for protection from bandits and the danger of encroaching flux. The Corps has a quasi-military hierarchy and is recognisable by their blue and white uniforms and the symbol of a Pegasus.
Due to a number of early legal misunderstandings, the Postal Corps have the lawyer Lucius Smythe-Beechley on retainer. More positively, the Corps is notable for their involvement in the rediscovery of Strossborg and Valydd, the resistance against the rule of the Leader Incarnate and the recent founding of the Acryn Free School.
With illiteracy rampant among the lower classes of the city, Samuel Skye has built the Acryn Free School, a charitable educational institution which offers free education to the children of Acryn. The emphasis is on teaching literacy and numeracy but advanced classes are available for subjects including history, geography and science. In the evenings, limited adult classes are offered for literacy and numeracy.
In front of the building is a statue of Mark Carter holding in one hand a shepherd's crook and in the other an open book.
Plans for the Pegasus were laid down early on in the history of the Postal Corps but it wasn't completed until recently. It is currently moored a short distance out from the dock.
You are one of the 30 members of Acryn's council. This can either be an elected or appointed position, depending on how you got it. This gives you considerable influence with the city's elite, and comes with some additional tangible benefits:

Youth Ministry
- Altar Serving: Girls and boys may volunteer to serve at weekend Masses and other celebrations.
- Response to Love Center: 8th grade students volunteer at the Response to Love Soup Kitchen. All students have the opportunity to volunteer at least once a school year.
- St. Luke's of Mercy Mission: 7th and 8th grade students volunteer at Thanksgiving and Christmas time to assist with the mass distribution of food, clothing, toys, etc. Other projects by various grade levels throughout the year support their efforts, too.
- Youth Ministry: Beginning in 5th grade, students may participate in B.A.S.E. ("Be A Saint Everyday") with our parish youth minister. B.A.S.E. meets on Thursday evenings and provides the opportunity to fellowship with friends, pray as a group, and participate in service projects. B.A.S.E. is open to all members of the St. John's community. Additionally, the youth minister works with students of St. John's in other activities, including other service projects and volunteerism, faith development, and prayer--including a live "Stations of the Cross" during Lent. High School students (grades 9 to 12) also meet later on Thursday evenings for SPARK, continuing in the tradition of sharing faith & fellowship with friends.
- Holy Hour: 1st grade students present a Christmas Holy Hour to the families and students of St. John's. First graders also presented a closed-circuit broadcast to the patients of Kenmore Mercy Hospital; the entire school made Christmas cards for the patients, too.
- Boxes of Joy: Students collected socks, gloves, toiletries, candy, playing cards, and so on to assemble "Boxes of Joy" that were distributed to overseas military, Haven House, and St. Luke's Mission of Mercy.
- Now Is the Time: Students and faculty work together by grade level and homerooms to find ways to put our school's religious theme "in action" in living our Catholic faith. Students share their talents and treasures and endeavor to bring Christ's command to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and love one another through tangible service projects.
- Mail for Military: Letter campaign to our U.S. Armed Forces serving overseas and in the United States to show our support and appreciation.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NJ – High school students from throughout Middlesex County produced 30- to 60-second public service announcements to warn their friends and classmates about the dangers of driving while impaired or distracted.
The winners of Middlesex County's 18th Annual 3D-Don't Drive Dangerously PSA Contest were announced May 8 during a conference in their honor held at the Middlesex County Fire Academy in Sayreville.
"The PSAs are incredibly well done, the students have a real sense of accomplishment, and we're helping to promote a message that can save lives," said Freeholder Shanti Narra, Chair of the County's Public Safety and Health Committee. "Families are shattered and lives are lost because of impaired or distracted driving. This program sends a powerful message to young drivers that we hope will be heard and remembered."
High school students from 11 schools throughout the County produced 16 videos and 6 audio tapings that promote driving safety to their peers and to adults. English and Spanish language video submissions and English language audio submissions were judged on their originality, creativity, sound quality and strength of message.
First place in the video category went to East Brunswick High School; second place went to Monroe Township High School; and third place went to Dunellen High School.
First place in the audio category went to Carteret High School; second place went to Monroe Township High School; and third place went to Middlesex County Academy for Allied Health & Biomedical Sciences.
The contest coincides with prom season to remind all students of the seriousness of distracted driving.
The program is co-sponsored by the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, the Middlesex County Superintendent of Schools, the Wellspring Center for Prevention, the Brain Injury Alliance of New Jersey and the Level One Trauma Center at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.
The County received $15,000 in grants from the New Jersey State Division of Highway Traffic Safety to run the PSA program.
"It takes only a second for a distraction to become an accident," said Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios. "On behalf of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, I would like to congratulate the winners and thank all of the students who participated in this contest and are helping to spread the word of safe driving to their peers."
"At the County Office of Education, I am committed to supporting this awareness and work for the safety and well-being of our school communities in Middlesex County", said Yasmin Hernández-Manno, Interim Executive County Superintendent of Schools. "The creativity you used in making the videos and audios sends a clear message to your peers of driving safely, especially now in this age of so much social media which is distracting so many drivers and leading to unfortunate consequences on the road. I would like to congratulate the students and the winning schools. I would like to express how proud I am of all of you for representing Middlesex County, continuing this important mission and spreading the word of 'Don't Drive Dangerously.'"
"On behalf of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety, I congratulate the Middlesex County Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program and the Board of Chosen Freeholders for their continued outstanding work with this program," said Edward
O'Connor, Regional Supervisor of the State Division of Highway Traffic Safety. "By involving the students in the production of these PSAs, they are creating current and future advocates for safety as well as more effective outreach to the rest of the student population. Middlesex County continues to lead the state in innovative and effective methods for motivating its student population, pedestrians, and motorists in general."
Ezra Helfand, Executive Director of the Wellspring Center for Prevention noted: "All of us at Wellspring are very proud of each student who participated in this year's PSA contest. We strongly believe that it's the process of making the PSAs that has the most lasting effect on the students. When putting the messages together, students are doing the research, talking to their friends … really thinking about it. I hope that they carry this message to their peers well after this contest is over, and into the future."
"Members of law enforcement in Middlesex County work diligently and tirelessly to protect the public. In order for their efforts to be successful, the public must be educated as to the dangers which exist, and must believe in the initiatives proposed by law enforcement," said Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey. "Today's participants have greatly assisted us in our mission to stop dangerous driving. I congratulate and thank all of the students. I also assure you that we will continue to be vigilant and aggressive in our efforts to detect and prosecute those who engage in distracted and impaired driving."
During the morning, students engaged in creative group activities, gained a realistic perspective on teenage drinking and experienced everyday activities through "fatal vision" goggles, which simulate elevated blood-alcohol levels.
The winning school in the video category received $1,000; second place received $750, and third place received $500. The winning school in the audio category received $500; second place received $300, and third place received $200. All winnings go to support Project Graduation or other Driver Safety and Awareness Programs. Additionally, the State Division of Highway Traffic Safety provided gift certificates to each member of the winning teams. The winning entries are available on our website at: www.middlesexcountynj.gov by searching "PSA".

I was on the road when "Dell'Arte" left a comment on this blog pointing me to this video, and I've only now gotten around to checking it out. It's a nice TCG piece and an appropriate video to post while I contemplate my end of the year entry in my column, which is called...wait, I know it, it's...oh yeah, Stage Matters.

Managing Constant Change - Jonathan Blake Huer, Educause Review
If you are in higher education using technology, you may often feel like your hotly anticipated, recently purchased technology solution is obsolete by the time the delivery person drops it off. If we are truly on "the back half of the chessboard,"1 the rapid pace of technological change will only continue to increase. Depending on your view, this either causes constant disruption or presents constant opportunity. Are you being disrupted? Or are you the disruptor? How should the academy—bound by deep tradition and extensive regulations—manage this increasing onslaught of change? http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/managing-constant-change

DATE: August 31st, Thursday, 4pm
LOCATION: Munk Conference Room
TITLE: Piecing together a "Long Data" perspective in Antarctica to understand ice-sheet variability
In the past decade, both the East and West Antarctic ice sheets have proven to be more dynamic than previously thought, with changes to the fast-flowing ice across the continent coupled to the global ocean and atmosphere. While modern satellite-borne instruments can provide snapshots of processes that drive ice-sheet dynamics, understanding the evolution of these processes over timescales important for societally relevant sea-level projections (10s to 100s of years) requires detailed observations over long durations—datasets that are typically not available in Antarctica. We therefore have to piece together datasets, sometimes through (glaciologically) unconventional methods, to provide a coherent assessment of ice-sheet processes that can vary through time and space. In this talk, I will present three examples of how, through re-examining existing data with novel techniques, we can better characterize past conditions of the ice sheet to constrain complex and variable processes, including subglacial hydrology, snow accumulation, and ice-stream flow. By generating this "Long Data" perspective of the co-evolution of the ice, freshwater, ocean, atmosphere, and rock systems in Antarctica, we create the context required for robust interpretation of results from glaciology's coming "Big Data" revolution that will arrive with recently launched (e.g., ESA's Copernicus Programme) and future (e.g., NASA's ICESat-2 and NISAR) satellite missions.
