Nowhere else will you find a 60-minute DVD such as this one, filled with 844 pictures and over 384 ghost voices from all across the country and from Central America.
Dimensional Overlap
This ghost photo were sent by Sandy Huggins of firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sandy said, "Thanks for the reply on the photo. When I took it the girl in the picture was talking to a soldier that had passed away telling him she was the same age as he was. She said she felt something so I took the picture. "
Dr. Dave's Notes:
This is not a camera flaw. I believe she is shifting into another dimension so her body is no longer in our dimension. I have many examples on our web site of parallel dimensional photos and I believe this qualifies.

News today that Rolando Aarons looks to be losing his battle to be fit for the game at Liverpool on Monday night, and as we know he's been out with hamstring injuries since back on November 1st – when we played Liverpool at home, and there's now a possibility he may not even return this season – although Carver thinks he will play again before the end of May.
Rolando Aarons – still not fit
Rolando has played only 5 times this season because of all the injuries, and there has to be a concern about his fitness, after he's had lots of hamstring problems this season.
When the 19 year-old has been close to coming back several times over the last five months – he's had relapses and has never made it back.
John Carver thinks he will be back before the end of the season:
"With the amount of time he has been out, we have to take it carefully with him." "He's had a good week. He looks comfortable, if a little bit rusty."
"He's working extremely hard." "And he will be back before the end of the season."
If there are any doubts with Aarons, the medical staff shouldn't take any chances, and this all seemed to start when Alan Pardew played him at Manchester City in late October in the League Cup, and Alan admitted that was against the medics' advice.
And then he came on against Liverpool three days later, replacing the injured Gabby Obertan in the first half, and we haven't seem him since.,
So we are now paying a heavy price for playing a player who was injured.
And that points to another serious problem at Newcastle – why we have a lot more injuries than any other Premier League club, and we really should be looking in the summer at why that's the case.
But the way Newcastle are run, we're pretty sure a review will not be done, and it will all be put down to bad luck – and then next season the same thing will happen again.
Don't talk about continuous improvement and Newcastle United in the same sentence – that's an oxymoron.

The mooted boycott has reached the pages of arguably the best sports mag in France
Oh Jeffrey, you've let us down and not applied your linguistic prowess to translating the lequipe article!
However and not being the genius like wot you are, here's a translation fro Google.
According to British media, supporters of Newcastle United are considering a massive boycott the next home game of their club against Tottenham Hotspur, at the 33rd day. An action in protest against club owner Mike Ashley, and lack of results. The club is currently 13th in the Premier League and remains on a series of four consecutive defeats.
'A campaign was launched on social networks, so the stage is as empty as possible, while the game will be broadcast live on television. Demonstrations, will also take place around St James Park before and after the meeting, so that those who wish to continue to support their team can express their discontent.'

So you're dieting and you know that the other part of that regimen is getting a little exercise. The problem is that you have no desire or time to take on such a monumental task. Who has time to hit the gym when you have to work, take care of the kids, and make sure everyone gets fed. Does that sound like you?

Unless you have some sort of spectacular willpower, it's safe to say that a little help motivating yourself could be the answer. Fortunately, this process is simple and easy to do.

The first step in getting a grasp on your inner sexiness is to figure out what you want that to be. Every successful person, regardless of endeavor, can attest to the significance of setting a goal. Right now you probably know that you want to get in shape or lose 20 extra pounds. That's great, but those things are not goals. Goals have deadlines and give you a defined understanding of where you are and where you want to be. It should be challenging but also attainable. As an example, "Right now I weigh 186 lbs. and I want to weigh 155 lbs. by (date 90 days from now)."

Now that you have a goal, you need to keep it in mind everyday. The best way to accomplish this is to find something that you can actually carry around with you everyday. Your gym membership card doesn't count. It should be readily visible to you. It should remind you of your goal and in turn motivate you to see it through.

A Jawbone is a good example of a inspirational object that you can see throughout the day. If that's not your style then another product that is affordable is a health inspired phone case. We found this one on Amazon from a brand called Smiley Case that was designed for this very purpose. It's made for the iPhone 6 and displays a grunged kettle bell on the back. This is perfect because what could you possibly be more attached to throughout the day than your iPhone?

Now that you have a goal and can remember it, the last step is to actually put your goal on the calendar. If you haven't stopped to think about the amount of time you spend doing non-productive activities, like watching TV, then now is a good time. Your task here is to literally select three days a week to dedicate working out.

According to the A.C. Nielson Co., the average American watches 28 hours of TV per week. With that in mind, find out the time that you're watching TV and replace just four of those hours per week to spend at the gym. That should give you an hour of exercise, three days a week; the remaining hour is to account for travel time.

That's all there really is to it. Set a goal, keep that goal in mind daily, and then schedule the time needed to see it through. Life is filled with things that will keep you living a sedentary lifestyle. Use these 3 easy steps to live on purpose and live healthy.

The KettleBell series is built to inspire and promote healthy living. The distressed KettleBell is an icon. It represents your dedication to an active lifestyle, but most impressively, to yourself. Every time you use your phone it will serve as a reminder that you've got what it takes and you are willing to put in the effort to becoming a happier, healthy you. Not everyone will understand, but that's the point.

FIGURES have shown a council is paying less than the average to agencies that care for people in their homes.
The data, from a Freedom of Information Request by UK Home Care Association, revealed Portsmouth City Council paid £14.62 per hour to agencies – £2 less than £16.70, which the association says should be the minimum rate.
UKHCA says that £16.70 is the lowest rate for a care agency that can cover staff wages at the national living wage, running costs and turn a profit.
Portsmouth's is the lowest rate in the south.
Justin Wallace-Cook, assistant director of adult social care at Portsmouth City Council, said: 'We've been paying £14.62 per hour since April 2016.
'It was a price which was set following an agreed methodology with our providers who have all tendered for the work.
'In conjunction with the future increase in the national living wage we're looking to increase this rate from April 1 – however this increase has not been finalised.'
The Isle of Wight council pays an hourly rate of £16.40 to agencies and Southampton City Council pays £17.19.
Hampshire County Council did not respond.
Cllr Luke Stubbs, the Portsmouth's cabinet member for adult social care, added: 'While our payments might be lower than other areas they are not among the lowest nationally.
'The regional comparison is comparing our city to mostly rural areas while if you look at other cities our rates are comparable or higher.'


text: Index Funds Continue Rebalancing January 21, 2011 09:34 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email This information is provided by Scott Harms - Archer Financial Services, Inc. 800-933-3996. The index fund long position declined this week due to the continuation of the rebalancing that started a few weeks ago. In all the index funds sold close to 38,000 of corn over the past few weeks. The open interest climbed in all three major commodities this week. Just another indication of how the agricultural commodities have captured the imagination of traders far beyond its traditional participants. The volatility was very high this week after Wednesday's announcement of Chinese demand for Australian feed wheat lead to a collapse, only to be revived on Thursday on strong weekly ethanol production figures and a lower Argentina corn crop estimate. The volatility was very pronounced in the July/ December Corn spread which had an almost daily 12-15 cent range. The market will continue to look for signs of rationing, while the Bulls continue to look to $7.00 plus corn values. Back to news

Now is the perfect time to begin Christmas shopping.
One of the best places to view "the latest" Christmas decorations and styles is at the Salado Chamber of Commerce Ladies Auxiliary Christmas in October scheduled for 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 13-14 at The Venue on College Street (near the corner of Royal Street and College Street) in Salado. Admission is $3 per adult.
This annual event is a preview to the Christmas season and will feature the wares of local and area merchants on display inside a beautiful setting at The Venue on College Street.
Each year, vendors creatively display holiday decorations, jewelry, clothing, food and specialty home décor items. Shoppers will experience the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and charms of the Village of Salado. "We truly enjoy Christmas in October being at The Venue. The facility is a great place for the Ladies Auxiliary to host our annual fundraiser event. This year's array of local and area merchants promises to be the best yet," states Tommye Prater, Christmas in October co-chair.
The Christmas in October Bake Sale is a tradition many look forward to each year. Customers will enjoy wandering through the booth area and the bake sale area all in the same facility. Most importantly, participants will have the opportunity to purchase delicious homemade pies, cakes, cookies and a wide variety of desserts.
A Style Show featuring models strolling through the booth section will display fall fashions from local boutiques as well as out of town merchants. The "strolling time" for the models will be late morning and early afternoon on both days of the Friday and Saturday event.
Representatives of the Salado Community Chorus will provide Christmas carols at 10 a.m. Oct. 14.
"We always look forward to the Salado Community Chorus group entertaining shoppers and the Style Show is fun as well," said Christmas in October co-chair, Deborah Roberson. According to Tommye Prater, "Christmas in October is the best place to ensure you start thinking about Christmas holidays and decorations. We welcome everyone to experience Christmas in October."
The Village trolley will be available to transport visitors from several Village parking areas to the entrance of The Venue on College Street. You may purchase tickets at the door or online at Eventbrite.
The Salado Ladies Auxiliary strives to promote events and activities which enhance, improve and promote the community of Salado. Christmas in October is one of these events in which the money earned is given back to community organizations such as the Salado Volunteer Fire Department, Salado Family Relief, Salado Community Chorus, and the Body of Christ Dental Clinic. Funds also provide annual scholarships for local high school students to attend college or technical school.

New Hanover High School senior Abigale Hawkins met me back in February at a local coffee shop to pitch an idea. Her concept for a senior project was to arrange music from the sacred classical and hymn traditions into a piece that she would sing - and she sings very well - that would then air on Classical HQR, if it met muster. Well, it did. Abigale then came in for a brief interview about her experience and her future:
Abigale is a member of NHHS' Lyceum Academy, a prestigious honors program, who has been singing in church since age 5, dipping her toe into musical theater and other musical oportunities. Her project involved researching the influence of church music on Western classical music. Her mentor, Stephen Field, help her bring together a telescoped arrangement of music from across time, including plainchant, music by Bach, Faure and, of course, Amazing Grace:

Pressure is mounting on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to name a select committee to investigate reports of election-related Russian cyberattacks. But his first instinct was correct: The inquiry should be done by the Senate and House Intelligence Committees.
Over the weekend, Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham became the first Republicans to urge the rarely used "select committee" route.
Congress last did that with the House probe of the 2012 terrorist attack at Benghazi — an effort Democrats loudly denounced as a partisan witch hunt. Are they now looking to even the score?
McCain and Graham say such a committee is "justified by the extraordinary scope and scale of the cyber problem." But the two Intelligence Committees are well-versed in national security matters — and there's nothing to suggest they can't handle it themselves.
The danger with a select committee is that it becomes a self-sustaining political machine — and a prime opportunity for partisan grandstanding.
Yes, McCain genuinely believes Russian cyberattacks represent a threat. But Democrats' motives clearly include an interest in undermining the president-elect's legitimacy and distracting from his agenda.
Team Trump's caustic skepticism on the whole issue is overdone. But it's clearly reacting to the sense that recent reports on the hack attacks — unconfirmed news stories from Democratic sources — are aimed largely at undermining Donald Trump's victory. Why won't the CIA send anyone to testify before Congress on the issue?
Most important: Even McCain maintains that the hacking didn't shift the results. No voting machines were attacked or votes altered. Vladimir Putin did not cost Hillary Clinton the presidency.
Congress does indeed owe it to the American people to fully investigate what happened — and why the Obama administration took no action. But it needs to be done fairly and even-handedly — and the Intelligence Committees are the best vehicle for that.

Often there is a one hour minimum labor charge and afterwards you are charged by the quarter hour. With this method you only pay for the actual time it takes and materials utilized on the job… no more, no less.
A plumber using Flat Rate billing will invoice a "Diagnostic Fee" to decide the plumbing problem and then will give you a flat rate quote to fix the problem. You know beforehand what it will cost for your service. If you do not want to move forward with the repair, you are only obligated to pay the Diagnostic Fee.

Biggest Difference Between Love-Making In Movies And Real Life!
Many of us expect our real life to be like the life shown in movies, especially the love-making scenes. Sometimes our judgment flies so high wrapped up with fantasy, that we fail to realize the big difference, which exists between love-making in movies and real life.
In real life when you try to depict those movies love-making moments, and instead it backfires, causing broken bones, broken bed, car accidents, or yelling and waking up the neighborhood. There can never be a carbon copy of the perfect and stunning love-making scenes from the movies in real life. This is the reality and we need to acknowledge it before some serious mishaps take place.
Let's have a look at some of the big difference between love-making in movies and real life.
1. The desperation and passion behind love-making in movies.
In real life, the desperation to run for the toilet comes first.
2. Getting into wild moaning during love-making on the dining table in movies.
Getting wild with the breaking of spine and cutleries in real life.
3. A happy ending in movies
Never reaching the ending in real life
4. After sex in movies, it's appreciation.
Unfortunately, it's apps-fixation, straightaway.
5. They show a couple sharing dreams in a movie after making love.
But the difference in real life is you share toilet paper.
6. A romantic open air moment in a love story movie.
The difference is a painful moment with bees.
7. Romantic love by the beach in cinema.
Actually, it's drowning in the beach.
8. A sensual moment on the stairs in films.
The difference is rolling down the stairs in reality.
9. Couple piling against the book shelf in a movie looks incredible.
But practically the books get piled on you.
10. A breathtaking romantic moment on the train tracks.
Brass tacks you may have a breathless moment, soon. Look behind!
11. These moments look so dramatic in cinema.
In reality, there's no difference, it just becomes more dramatic.
12. Making love in the shower in films looks so intense.
But in reality, the smell is intense.
13. An arousing standing love scene from a movie.
It definitely arouses pain too in reality.
14. A happy couple jumping on the bed in films.
Practically, beds often break with all that jumping around.

Little Logan celebrated his fourth birthday on Monday and his family had a very big wish.
After seven months of chemotherapy, Logan's test results this Friday will tell if he is in remission.
"He finished his last treatment on March 2 and we're still waiting on further tests to see if he's in remission or not," Logan's mother Jo Ashcroft said.
"We hopefully find out on Friday."
Logan was diagnosed at birth with a rare genetic disorder called Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome, also classed as an overgrowth syndrome in children.
"Roughly one in 13,000 people are diagnosed with BWS," Ms Ashcroft said.
"With all of that comes all different complications, like overgrowth in the body, their cells are a lot bigger.
"At birth, they're higher weight, they have enlarged tongues to enlarged organs – there's all different spectrums of it.
"With that, also comes increased risk of childhood cancer because of the rapid growth in their body."
Logan has been screened for cancer every three months from the day he was born.
"In May last year, they picked up a cyst in his kidney," Ms Ashcroft said.
"Within a week, he was biopsied and diagnosed with a Wilms tumour.
"He went in to a six-week course of chemotherapy. They removed the tumor and a little portion of his kidney."
Brave Logan then underwent another 27-weeks of chemotherapy.
The Hoppers Crossing family is determined to help others going through similar circumstances. The family has a Relay for Life team, Logan's Heroes, which raises money for the Cancer Council.
One of its fundraising events in the lead-up to this year's relay will be a car boot sale.
The sale is on Saturday, March 24 from 9am-1pm at the Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre, 5 Sargood Street, Altona.
Entry is by gold coin donation or $15 for a car.

On Air Now
Heart Breakfast with Jamie & Lucy 6am - 9am
Hiya! How was your weekend? I had a mega busy, but brilliant one! On Sunday, I was up super early to run Race For Life with my gorgeous Team Heart ladies in Hyde Park. All of you were amazing, and we're all set to run it again next year right?
As soon as that was done, I raced over to the other side of Hyde Park to get ready for Heart In The Park! It really was fantastic, JK & I introduced Eliza Dolittle & J-Lo on stage, and the crowd was incredible! Personally, my favourite performance came from the awesome Chic feat. Nile Rodgers, we even got on stage with them at the end, AND Nile kept to his promise and got Simon Le Bon to sing 'Notorious' with him! J-Lo was genius, as was Lionel Richie! In fact, the whole line up was pretty fantastic! It was a beautiful day for it too. Whether you were there or not, head to heart.co.uk for the all the photos, plus backstage interviews & highlights! You'll find all the photos from Race For Life there too!
On today's show, we were talking about us Singletons! We asked you to tell us the answer to this – What's the first thing you did when you became single?
Adele: Celebrate!
Chelsea: I cut my shoulder length hair down to about an inch long!
Kayla: Had my hair cut short and put my nose ring back in!!
Charlene: Shaved my legs
Simone: Cancelled his sky sports!!
Sammie: I knew his password to his laptop and Facebook. So I went on and changed all his details to say he loved sheep. Deleted all his pictures and put sheep pictures up instead. To this day I still find it funny. Best revenge I've ever had! x
Elle: He cheated so I got rid of his pet Rabbit I bought for him for Easter the very next day and re-homed him with a lovely family!! He only wanted the rabbit, not house contents or deposit!! I love being single now!
Lou: When I became single I called my mum and told her I'd meet her friend's son!!
We'll be back tomorrow from 4pm, see you then!

Hello Toddler Tantrums
Nothing quite prepares you for the sheer power of toddler tantrums. The raw emotion, the screaming, the feeling of utter helplessness.
Everyone talks about how hard and tiring they are, but its like trying to describe labour pains to someone who's never experienced it. You can talk all you want about how it's a different type of pain, about the pressure etc, but it's not until they are in that moment that they will fully comprehend. After all, who can really imagine being squeezed from the insides until they've experienced it themselves?!
My son turned 2 at the beginning of this month, and the tantrums started about a week ago. I thought I was prepared – I knew it was going to be a tough time, and I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but –
Out of the blue. No build up, no warning, nothing.
Suddenly I have a screaming toddler who is both angry and upset, and getting more and more out of control. The panic starts building in his eyes as he realises he's unable to calm down and doesn't know how to deal with all this raw emotion.
He cries out for me. That's the most heartbreaking bit.
Mummy! Mummy! Mummy! Mummy!
He wants me, he wants my help and needs me to comfort him, but he doesn't want to be touched. He needs his space. Every time I put my arms out to him or move a bit closer, he starts manically shaking his head, moving even further away, and the screaming intensifies.
He doesn't even want to know his dad when he's like this, and it's easy to see just how much that cuts like a knife.
Here we are, two parents who thought themselves strong and capable. Two parents who have been so proud of their chilled out little boy who is always happy.
Two parents finding themselves completely out of their depth, having been utterly blindsided.
Count to five.
This is normal.

Pull-apart breads and monkey bread recipes are plentiful indeed! And with good reason: Little balls of bread dough drenched in the sweet or savory sauce of ones choice bake up in a convenient and easy-to-disassemble (pull-apart) form! And plenty of flavor in every bite. My mother-in-law makes a killer Pepperoni Pizza pull-apart bread. There are often sweet, caramel-laden monkey breads at out weekly Friday Breakfast Feast at work.
One of my family's favorite bread indulgences is the simple, straight-forward garlic bread: whether it be in loaf form, breadsticks or knots. Buttery, garlicky bread is where it's at. When contemplating my first pull-apart bread creation this combination, along with some gooey, melty Italian cheeses was an easy pick.
When my daughter overheard my musings on this creation, she declared that she would "literally kill me" if I didn't make it happen.Immediately. Now.
How's that for an expression of loving support and/or threat of bodily harm!
My first attempt at this pull-apart bread was to layer it in a standard bread loaf pan. And I discovered why ring pans or Bundt pans are preferred: the very center of the pull-apart bread baked in the loaf pan was still doughy.
When baked in a ring or Bundt pan, the heat more evenly and quickly reaches all parts of the dough, ensuring perfectly baked, soft bread in every bite.
The recipe is below, and if you need additional appetizers to round out your party try these babies!
This snacking bread is loaded with gooey cheeses and rich, buttery garlic flavor!
- 24 ounces white bread dough, (about 1-1/2 pounds)
- 3/4 cup butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley (or 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, minced)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
In a medium saute pan, melt the butter and heat it until it begins to bubble. Add in the minced garlic and cook the garlic over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook just until the garlic is fragrant and turning translucent, about 2 minutes. Do not allow garlic to brown. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in parsley and set the pan aside to let the butter mixture cool somewhat.
Rub the inside of a ring pan or Bundt pan (a pan with a hole in the center) with butter. Divide the bread dough in half. Roll out one portion of dough into a long rope. Snip up the rope into 1-inch portions. Place them in an even layer over the bottom of the prepared pan. Ladle over this layer of dough balls most of the cooled garlic-butter-parsley mixture. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and the shredded Parmesan cheese over the dough.
Roll out the other half of the dough into a long rope and snip this up into 1-inch bits as before. Layer these over the top of the first layer of dough balls. Pour the remaining garlic-butter-parsley over the dough. Use a fork or rubber spatula to reach down along the inside of the pan to pull up the contents a little. Do this a few times to jostle the layers a bit, to ensure that the bread and cheese will be intermingled and not end up in solid layers.
Place a piece of plastic wrap loosely over the top of the pan and place it in a warm place to rise for 45-60 minutes, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Remove the plastic from the top of the pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven to bake for 30 minutes, until the top of the bread is browned.
Have ready a platter that has enough room to hold the bread. Remove the pan from the oven. Run a knife along between the bread and pan to loosen it. Place the platter upside down over the top of the bread pan. Use oven mitts and with a firm grip carefully flip over the bread pan and platter so that the bread pan ends up on top and the bread can slip out onto the platter.
Serve the pull-apart bread immediately while warm.
Notes: I made the white bread dough in my bread machine set to the dough cycle. You can also make dough by hand: allow it to have the first rise, then punch it down and proceed with the recipe. Many grocery stores also sell pre-made dough in bags, and you'll find them in a refrigerated case. Frozen bread dough can also be used, but allow it to thaw completely in the fridge overnight.

As part of The Digital Futures Program at OCAD U, we were asked to design, render and fabricate objects using the simple form of the spoon. I wanted to design something which felt organic and fluid while still having a very artificial texture.
Bringing my love of TV shows and my new found ability to make 3D objects culminated into Game Of Thrones inspired spoons. The first one was from the House Stark and the other one comes from House Targaryen.
I used Rhino3D extensively to design and fabricate the spoons.
"Valar Morghulis"
Using the technique of Hydro dipping, I tried experimenting by adding colour and a bit more texture to the 3D printed spoons.

Light brown hair color is almost universal color that suits the vast majority of women and, as a rule, does not imply a radical change of image. It is soft, warm, beautiful, but not draw too much attention – the perfect color for those who want to create a discreet and elegant way.
How to dye hair light brown color
If you have a very bright (e.g., flax), light brown, dark blonde, dark Golden or red hair, you can try to dye their hair in light brown color in the home. Probably the most difficult task for you would be the choice of colours in the shops you can find many different shades relating to light brown color.
Keep in mind when choosing your color type: warm color type will suit color with rich red and copper shades, and a cold – light ash brown color or colors with subdued red tint. If a suitable color found only strictly follow the instructions on the package with paint and wait for the result.
If you are a brunette and want to color in light brown, you better consult a specialist. Most likely, he will lighten your hair and then paint them the desired color. In addition, the hairdresser will help you with choosing the right shade of light brown and will recommend one or another variant of coloring with this color, which, incidentally, is very diverse.
Light brown color – ways of coloring
The following ways of coloring using light brown color, which are most relevant in the present time, as well as learn about who they fit best.
- Light brown and caramel color. The combination of these colors looks warm, gentle and soft, ideal for women with warm skin tones. As for eye color, this coloring is ideal for girls with hazel and green eyes; with gray and especially with blue eyes it looks a little less appealing.
- Light brown and copper. Several copper strands in light chestnut hair will give your look a twist. It is best to choose a muted copper color that will accent the charming soft light brown color; intense copper shades can just destroy. Choose this coloring, if you have a warm color type. By the way, to keep the copper color saturation is even muted – you need quite often to touch up hair, so this painting is not for those who have no time for regular trips to the hairdresser.
- Light brown and chocolate. This combination is suitable for warm and cold color type, since the light brown is perfect for the first, and chocolate for the second. Especially impressive and important looks coloring, in which the lower part of the hair is painted in dark chocolate tone, and the top is light brown. Chocolate strands to light brown hair (or Vice versa) is more traditional, but also a good option, especially if you prefer bright shades of chocolate, which is quite in line with the current fashion for the most "natural" hair color.
- Light brown and dark Golden blonde. Reddish brown tide in perfect harmony with salestime strands or glare, without creating the impression of strangeness. This coloration fits all, except for women with a pronounced winter color type.
- Light brown and honey color. Honey strands or highlights in light brown hair look like spots of soft, pale light shining through the bright autumn foliage. They give the impression of more volume and illuminate the face, not emphasizing deficiencies. Such staining can try everything, except for women whom nature endowed particularly bright, contrasting appearance, for example, very fair skin, combined with dark eyebrows and dark brown or bright blue eyes: they are much better suited darker or bright and often cold tone.

About Baker McKenzie
At Baker McKenzie we are different in the way we think, work and behave. Like no other law firm we were born global.
Baker McKenzie was conceived and built as a global law firm, so thinking and working globally is embedded in our culture – and we understand the challenges of the global economy. We were formed in 1949 when an entrepreneurial Chicago attorney, Russell Baker, met the litigator, John McKenzie. McKenzie shared Baker's vision of creating the world's first multicultural, global law firm and our first office outside the USA was opened in Caracas in 1955.
We are one of the world's largest law firms by markets, revenue and headcount and now have a network of 77 offices in 47 countries around the world. Our most recent offices to be opened were Johannesburg, Casablanca and Lima in 2012, Seoul and Dubai in 2013 and Brisbane, Yangon and Jeddah in 2014.
We opened our first office in Asia Pacific in Manila in 1963, and have grown to 17 full-service offices across 13 jurisdictions. With more than 1,000 locally qualified lawyers across the region, and 77 offices globally, Baker McKenzie is the firm with the greatest depth and breadth of coverage across the dynamic Asia Pacific markets.
We have been a global law firm in Australia since 1964 and our Australian practice is now the fourth largest in our network with more than 85 Partners and over 190 lawyers across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Baker McKenzie Australia offers our people access to complex, market-leading matters for leading multinational and domestic companies and the ability to work with some of the world's best legal minds – people who know the law and who understand business. We have an unrivalled ability to provide training and secondment opportunities across our global network. Locally, we have an inclusive culture of learning, coaching and opportunity where you will work in small teams on matters that often cross borders. We value people who think ahead and get noticed.
Graduate program
[Disclaimer: Subject to business and resourcing needs, we prefer to offer graduate roles to our former summer clerks. However, from time to time opportunities arise for us to hire graduates laterally].
At Baker McKenzie, we have an instinctively global outlook and a deep understanding of our Australian and international clients' businesses. We look for people who enjoy a challenge and seek new opportunities; who share our global perspective; who want to understand and provide excellent service to our clients; who have sound academics and are practical in their approach; who like taking responsibility and getting things done; who express themselves confidently while staying open to new ideas; and who seek a friendly and inclusive culture that encourages making a difference to our local and global communities.
We have lots to offer in return.
A solid transition from law school to law firm. When you join Baker McKenzie as a graduate, we know you want to be working with clients on real work right from the start, so we support you to hone your skills and develop your experience as quickly as possible. We pair each graduate with a supervising partner and an associate "buddy" in each rotation to maximise on-the-job and formal learning. We also bring graduates from our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane offices together to help our people foster networks across the Firm.
A deep commitment to your development. We work with each graduate to create a tailored development plan targeting five areas — legal knowledge and expertise, planning your career, business development & client service, people & self-management and the business of law. To help you reach your goals, we offer targeted learning opportunities — from seminars on core legal topics to practical skills development in areas such as drafting and presenting. Our regional practice group structure means many of our lawyers attend regional training in our Asia Pacific offices and, once you finish your Graduate Program, you will travel overseas to attend a regional orientation program with other mid-level associates from the region. We work hard to facilitate your on-the-job learning and the many ways it happens — through informal mentoring relationships, client secondments, involving you in global teams working on international deals or supporting you to run your own files for our award-winning Pro Bono Program. We support your professional development by covering the costs of your Practical Legal Training, admission and practising certificate.
Working and thinking globally. Being global is in our DNA. You will begin to build your global professional networks straight away through exposure to international clients and colleagues. To support our global approach to development, we offer formal overseas secondment programs for lawyers at all levels. The Firm also offers opportunities for lawyers at varying stages of their career to work directly for clients or with our other offices in the Asia Pacific region and globally.
The Sydney Graduate Program
Our graduates complete three 6-month practice group rotations over 18 months before joining a practice group as a junior associate. To make sure you get the strongest possible career head start, we invest in your development through our targeted graduate professional development offerings.
International Clerkships
Baker McKenzie awards International Clerkships to our former Summer Clerks interested in expanding their careers in the law. Recipients typically work with lawyers in an overseas office over a 4 week period.
The program offers you the chance to compare legal practice in a different legal jurisdiction, become familiar with an office and legal culture different from your own and to see how our international practice works from the inside.
Some recent international clerkship destinations include London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York and Shanghai. Please click here to hear more about the International Clerkship experience offered by Baker McKenzie.
All former Summer Clerks who accept a Graduate offer with us are eligible to apply for an International Clerkship. The application process involves putting together a short business case by answering four key questions as to why you would like to be selected for an International Clerkship.
The appropriate Talent Management Consultant will support the successful International Clerkship recipients in working out the suitable timing of the Clerkship depending on the Clerk's availability and what works for the host office. The International Clerkship will take place before the Clerk commences on the Graduate Program.
Pro Bono & Community Services
Pro Bono
Our lawyers are actively encouraged to undertake pro bono work. We believe that the provision of pro bono legal services is a fundamental professional responsibility. As lawyers, we have a particular skills set and the best way to assist those in need is to utilise those skills.
We are a signatory to the National Pro Bono Aspirational Target of at least 35 hours of pro bono legal work per lawyer per year. In FY16 we contributed almost 7,600 pro bono hours to more than 160 individual members of our community, charities and other not-for-profit organisations. All of our lawyers are expected to work on pro bono matters and the Firm has a separate pro bono practice group comprised of 3 lawyers and a coordinator.
Our lawyers regularly undertake a wide range of pro bono legal work for disadvantaged clients in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane as well as not-for-profit organisations. Our lawyers assist victims of domestic violence seek compensation; represent asylum seekers in court seeking judicial review of decisions relating to their refugee status; assist asylum seekers prepare their statements in support of protection visas; help the elderly, seriously ill clients and young people exiting the child protection system with their legal affairs; work with various organisations to prepare submissions and advocacy papers to support law and policy reform; present legal workshops to vulnerable and at risk youth; and much more.
Our pro bono work extends globally, including the Asia Pacific region.
Community Service
All our staff have opportunities to participate in a variety of community service initiatives. Our community service programs include the LEAPS literacy and mentoring program in Sydney, and the MacChat program run by the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne where our staff volunteers visit patients in an evening.
Our staff also have the opportunity to join their office's Community Service Committee which is responsible for organising awareness and fundraising for each office's nominated charities throughout the year. In FY17 our partners and staff are supporting organisations which include the Refugee Advice & Casework Service (RACS), Mary's House, Youth Projects and the Deafness Foundation.
Thrive in a culture of inclusion
Quality and excellence along with team work, integrity and responsiveness are central in delivering outstanding service to our clients, as you would expect in a top tier law firm.
The values that make us a unique and a great place to work are deeply embedded and you will notice our difference in all of your interactions with us, in Australia and across the globe.

Award Winning Diversity Strategy
Diversity is central to our success. We are at home anywhere in the world and we rely on our people to navigate cultures, borders and practices with ease. What sets Baker McKenzie apart is our ability to leverage different languages, cultures, generations and perspectives we have to create a truly international law firm that places a real focus on diversity and inclusion.
Cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace is top of our agenda – we have been named as one of The Most Innovative Lawyers in Diversity by the Financial Times in 2016, and we know that fostering a culture of respect and inclusion creates a dynamic and happy workforce. To ensure we maintain a focused agenda, we have a Global Diversity & Inclusion Committee comprised of members from all four of our world regions that is chaired by a member of our Executive Committee.
To achieve our Firm's goal to become the premier global law firm, we need to have the right mix of people around the tale to serve our clients. The 'right mix of people' means a diversity of employees who mirror the diversity of our clients; who can respond to our clients' needs with excellence, energy and creativity; and who bring a diversity of thought experience and approach.

Rio de Janeiro holds some of the country s best-known and iconic tourist attractions, including Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer Statue and the world-famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. Rio is a lively, vibrant city, and its inhabitants (known as Cariocas ) are full of energy and always ready for a good time. This is no more obvious than during Carnaval, when the city comes alive with the beats of Samba for a 5 day non-stop party.
Buzios, Ilha Grande and Paraty – Rio State
For those looking for a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the big city, the nearby fishing village of Buzios is a short 3 hour drive to the North, while to the South the pristine Ilha Grande island and colonial town of Paraty offer quieter but no less idyllic alternatives.
When to Visit Rio and Rio State
Rio is warm year-round and rain can occur at any time of year, but it tends to rain a lot more in the summer (Dec March) meaning that days can get very hot and humid at this time of year. If you have the choice it s preferable to travel outside this time, as the days will be more pleasant with more chance of sun and less chance of rain between April and November.
Considered Brazil s most culturally enriched cities, Salvador has a lively art scene and it colourful streets are filled with dance and music all year round.
See More.
Over 1600km to the North-East of Rio lies Salvador, capital of Bahia State and long considered the birthplace of Brazilian culture. The oldest city in Brazil and its first capital, Salvador was a major post for the slave trade and is now a thriving centre of Afro-Brazilian life. The local cuisine, music, dance and vibrant visual arts are all testaments to this pervasive African influence. Considered Brazil s most culturally enriched cities, Salvador has a lively art scene and its colourful streets are filled with dance and music all year round.
As one of Brazil s greatest historical destinations, the city is filled with colonial churches, houses and forts that reflect stunning Portuguese architecture from the Baroque period. The historical centre of Pelourinho was declared a World Cultural Centre by UNESCO in 1985. Hundreds of old buildings were restored. It s a real must-do : a compulsory addition to every Brazilian travel itinerary!
Praia do Forte and Morro de Sao Paulo Bahia State
Outside the city of Salvador lie some of North-Eastern Brazil s most pristine beaches, including the renowned Praia do Forte and Costa do Sau pe.
Just a short catamaran ride away from Salvador lies the idyllic tropical island of Morro de Sao Paulo, where the only thing you ll have to think about will be which beach to visit during the day and which fruit cocktail to order at night
When to visit Salvador and Bahia State
With its situation being very close to the equator, the year-round temperature varies very little in Bahia. You re pretty much guaranteed of warm days and lots of sun all year round! The only thing that varies in Bahia is rain-fall. Most of Bahia s rainfall occurs during the winter months of July and August. However it s rare that it would rain non-stop during these months. In fact, it s quite likely that you will experience a week of sun during this time, so don t let this affect your travel plans. Any time of year is a great time in Bahia.
For those who wish to see some South American wildlife and get close to nature, a trip to Brazil would not be complete without a stay in the Pantanal.
See More.
For those who wish to see some South American wildlife and get close to nature, a trip to Brazil would not be complete without a stay in the Pantanal. As the largest tropical wetland area in the world, the Pantanal is sprawled over an area of nearly 200,000 square kilometres, and extends into neighbouring Paraguay and Bolivia. During the wet season, around 80% of the floodplains become submerged, attracting a biologically diverse range of plant and animal species.
The Pantanal is actually considered to be the world s densest flora and fauna ecosystem. The delta s wide open wetland spaces make animal spotting a lot easier than in the neighbouring Amazon, offering great photographic opportunities. Additionally, the Pantanal is thought to be home to up to 1000 bird species, creating a paradise for bird watchers.
When to Visit the Pantanal
The Pantanal can be visited year-round, however seasonal variations are extreme. The wet season generally runs from November until March, with monsoonal rainfall causing extensive flooding. This can cause some roads to be impassable, however most Pantanal lodges stay option year-round despite this. These lodges provide suitable transfer vehicles that can deal with the terrain.
February is the height of the rainy season. The best time for spotting wildlife is during the dry season (Apr-Oct), with bird watching at its best between July and September, and chances of spotting a jaguar highest in September-October.
Approximately 60% of the Amazon rainforest is contained within Brazil, guaranteeing accessibility for even the least adventurous of travellers.

The Amazon
Representing more than half of the world s remaining rainforest, the Amazon is home to the most species-rich wildlife tract of tropical rainforest on the planet, and at its heart is the Amazon River, extending over 6000km and carrying the greatest volume of water of any river on earth.
Approximately 60% of the Amazon rainforest is contained within Brazil, guaranteeing accessibility for even the least adventurous of travellers. The capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas, Manaus, offers the easiest gateway to the Amazon, with regular flights from major Brazilian cities. A number of jungle lodges are located within close proximity to Manaus, and offer a range of activities such as spotting caimans and pink freshwater dolphins; piranha fishing, nature hikes and wildlife watching.
Manaus is also the starting point for the highly popular Amazon River cruises, giving passengers the opportunity to discover the Amazon rainforest in comfort and style. The majority of cruises and jungle lodge packages also include a day trip to the Meeting of the Waters, a remarkable phenomenon where the dark, tea-coloured waters of the Rio Negro merge with the lighter, muddier waters of the Amazon mainstream.
When to Visit the Amazon
Like the Pantanal to the South, the Amazon can be visited all year round. The tropical climate is consistently warm regardless of the time of year, with both the wet and dry seasons providing different options for travellers. The dry season (June-November), with limited rainfall and low water levels, is generally better for land-based activities such as hiking and spotting wildlife by the river. The wet season (December-May) brings flooding to the areas around the rivers, making it possible to enter otherwise impenetrable jungle by boat in search of wildlife.
Igua u Falls, located in the southern State of Parana, is one of the most famous attractions in all of South America.
See More.
Igua u Falls, located in the southern State of Parana, is one of the most famous attractions in all of South America. Named as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature in 2007, the number of separate waterfalls range from 150 to 300 depending on the water level, with nearly half the Iguacu river s water falling from 82m high into a 150m wide chasm called the Devil s Throat.
The waterfalls are divided between Argentina and Brazil and provide vastly different views and experiences depending on which side they are viewed from. 80% of the falls are situated on the Argentinean side, so this is the side for getting right up close to them, where as Brazil is the side for getting that incredible overall view that will leave you awe-struck.
In addition to the falls, the surrounding city of Foz do Igua u makes a great base to discover the numerous other attractions in the region. Visitors can revel in the splendour of the natural forests, rivers and lakes, as well as the world s largest hydroelectric power plant, the Itaipu Dam. Travellers also have the opportunity to take advantage of the Tres Fronteras (three borders) and experience the attractions of Puerto Iguazu (on the Argentinean side) and Ciudad del Este (in Paraguay).
When to Visit Igua u Falls
Whilst accessible all year round, the best times for viewing the falls are generally spring and autumn. Summer (December-March) tends to be very hot and humid, while the water level can drop significantly in the winter (June-August).

So my engagement story,
At least I think so anyway.
I'd rather tell that story over my wedding story every time.
Of course only the first main part about it,
everything else is just in the past and really doesn't matter.
I love my family and my in law family.
That is why it is easy for them to offend me and to make me mad.
The important thing is that I get over it really fast,
even though sometimes it isn't fast enough,
and sometimes it's not quite before I say something I regret.
Just the same, I hope they know I love them!

Using Archived Truck GPS Data for Freight Performance Analysis on Interstate I-94/I-90 from the Twin Cities to Chicago
Principal Investigator
Chen-Fu Liao, Senior Systems Engineer, Mechanical Engineering
Project Summary
Interstate I-94 is a key freight corridor for the transportation of goods between Minneapolis and Chicago. This project used freight performance measures (FPM) data from the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) to study this corridor. Researchers processed data on heavy truck trips (mainly commercial Class 8 vehicles over 20,000 pounds) along the corridor from May 2008 to April 2009, and analyzed freight performance with respect to duration, reliability, and seasonal variation, including truck speed, speed variation, truck volume variation, distribution of destinations, stop location, and rest duration, and developed methods to measure the level of congestion and travel-time reliability along the corridor. The resulting analysis will be useful in planning for freight transportation between Minneapolis and Chicago, such as measuring truck travel-time reliability and the impact of congestion on the cost of freight, determining where truck stops or parking facilities are needed, and evaluating how traffic volume affects cars and trucks differently. In addition, the analytic process used could be potentially expanded and implemented on the country's significant freight corridors.

Against evolutionary psychologyThis too one might think an odd topic for a blog that describes itself as "devoted to the 'naturalist' explanation of the related phenomena of consciousness and culture", a phrase that could almost serve as a succinct characterization of Evolutionary Psychology* (often abbreviated as EP) itself. But "natural", even when speaking of biological organisms, is not limited to "genetic", and my argument with EP has to do precisely with that implied limitation. Like social constructionism, of course (which we might as well abbreviate as SC), EP comes in a range of varieties, from "weak" to "strong", and, just as with SC, the weak versions are largely unexceptionable: there's no doubt that mental and cultural phenomena are products of biological -- meaning genetic -- evolution, and as such exhibit features that derive directly from such evolution. But, also as with SC, there's a "strong" version of the school as well, which implies that the most adaptive and significant features of mind and culture are genetically derived, and that what is not so derived is merely conventional, or more or less arbitrary and random. And this is to make a profound mistake -- it misses or ignores the fact that culture is itself a natural phenomenon that has broad influence on human psychology and society, and that responds to the same kinds of environmental selection pressures that biological evolution does, only more rapidly. A little more specifically, the school of EP exhibits three main sources of error, as I see it:
- It fails to understand culture itself as a wholly natural phenomenon, as physical in its basis in neural structure as genetics is in its basis in DNA.
- It therefore fails to appreciate that culture itself is susceptible to a general Darwinian process of natural selection (though different, obviously, in its mechanisms) -- and that, in adapting to environmental challenges and opportunities far more rapidly than biology, culture can not only come into conflict with biology but can be a source of biological selection pressure itself.
- And that failure in turn leads to an under-appreciation of the idea that the most important contribution of biological evolution to human environmental fitness has been to cede psychological and social ground to culture, precisely by reducing the role of instinct and other genetic factors on human behavior.
It's instructive to put social constructionism and evolutionary psychology side by side, actually, and then to see them both as twin expressions of an undercurrent of ideological/political struggle that's been a feature of the culture for a while now. The former is aptly characterized as a type of anti-essentialism, and the latter, more recent school (in its contemporary versions), as perhaps an anti-anti-essentialism -- with each, depending on its degree of politicization, repelling the other toward increasingly untenable extremes. But even in their weaker, less political versions, both these schools simply miss the most salient fact about culture: that it too, just like DNA, is embedded in the natural, physical world. So, contrary to social constructionism, cultural concepts are driven by the real, natural environment; and contrary to evolutionary psychology, cultural concepts are themselves the primary evolutionary response to that environment.
*Here's the Wikipedia article (a start, but badly written even by Wikipedia standards); here's an FAQ by one of the important names in the field; and here's a "Primer" by Cosmides and Toobey, the two at the start of the recent surge in interest.

VW Offering 5-seater cc
January 22, 2010
I was bit disappointed when VW first introduced their Passat CC for its lack of interior sophistication compared to its sleek exterior design. Until now, VW's Passat CC was only available as a 4-seater car having a divider between the back seats. But now, VW is offering 5-seater vesion of their Passat CC. There is not much of an upgrade from the previous 4-seater CC.

Something in between of M3 and 335i
January 20, 2010
The images of BMW's 2011 335is is leaked out. This car will have the performance greater than the current 335i but not quite the performance of the M3. Prediction is that they will be offering both coupe and convertible versions of the 335is. Buyers will have the options for a seven-speed dual clutch or a six-speed manual transmission. BMW might also offer a M-sport appearance package as well. The car is expected to be released to the public on March 2010.

Photos leaked from Mini
January 19, 2010
Mini will be releasing their first ever 5 door AWD vehicle with the title "Mini Countryman". This car was announced as a concept before, but the real deal seems to have a lot of differences. As you can see, Mini has treated the Countryman with different grill and light design, which I think looks great. You wont be able to buy one here in the States until later this year.

The Lightbank Softbox is a very powerful lighting system ideal for video lighting and still digital photography. It uses 7 x 50w energy efficient daylight bulbs that emit 4 x the amount of light that a normal bulb gives off, they are relatively cool unlike tungsten halogen lighting that get very hot. Another advantage over the tungsten halogen lighting is the colour temperature our daylight bulbs are 5400k and can be used in conjunction with natural light we have a video showing exactly that. Lightbank Softbox Lighting
With switches on the back the light output can adjusted allowing any combination of from 1 bulb to 7 bulbs, the large softbox can be used with or without its diffuser, with the diffuser gives a very flattering soft light.
This is why we say this is and alternative to redhead lighting and the 2 head kit is now on special until 30th December we have made it the same price as the lightbank 350 which is a great saving.

June 12, 2010 - Posted from home (Indianapolis, IN)
I told Erin that I had a dream while I was away in a hotel room in which she took off her panties and made me wear them while I had sex with her. I told her it really turned me on and suggested half jokingly that we might just have to try it.
I was shocked when she said, "ok, if you want to." I had no idea what to say. Was she joking? Serious? I asked her if she thought that was weird and she replied rather nonchalant, "whatever floats your boat".
So after bringing it up a few more times and joking about it here and there, she asked if I might want my own instead of hers because she was not sure hers would fit me very well. She decided she had a couple of old pairs that she could let me have. I said I would like that but also thought it would be hot for her to pick some out for me.
She did. She bought me two pair of panties, as well as a few new pairs for herself (in matching styles). I admit I was petrified to try them on in front of her. Of course, that is only adding to the thrill. There's no turning back now that she bought them. It was such a turn on watching her pick them out and hold them up to me right there in the store.
She was shocked when I took her hand and placed it against my cock so she could see how turned on I was. I guess she didn't realize how much I was looking forward to this. She asked while we were at the check out if I would put them on for her when we got home. Wow... how did I get this lucky to have a wife who loves me enough to play out my fantasies?

A pair of odd flannel trousers is one of Styleforum's universal recommendations, and in addition to featuring heavily in WAYWT, flannel is a staff favorite. It's not hard to see why: it's soft, warm, and adds lovely visual texture to any outfit, especially if you choose a fabric – as @Heldentor has – that has enough character to stand up to patterns.
Even so, my favorite part of this outfit is the fit of the sport coat. It's not often (or ever) I see a combination that I think could be simultaneously referred to as "sharp" and "soft," but I believe this qualifies. "Rumpled elegance" is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot in discussions of menswear, and when referring to tailored clothing it often seems to be used as an excuse for poor fit. In this case, however, I think it's an apt descriptor largely due to the weight of the fabric (of both jacket and trousers) and the moderately built-up chest and shoulders of the jacket.
Note how comfortable @Heldentenor appears when seated, and how well the fabric hangs. Not only are the proportions impeccable, but the outfit is wonderfully evocative. Of course, that's partly due to the quality of the photograph and the setting, but everything – from the crisp blue shirt to the patch pockets to the knit tie and lack of pocket square – suggests comfort, confidence, and an absence of pretension.
This is a great example of how classics and standbys can be styled in a way that's far from boring, and a wonderful appetizer for the fun of seasonal dress. Hats of to @Heldentenor, and to the rest us – now we now what to aim for.

I live in a town where jeans and T shirts are the uniform of the day.
I ride a BMW bike and guys look at me like I'm a traitor.
Harley's seem to be the preference.
I've tried wearing a handerchief in my breast pocket.
Bought a pair of Harley boots and chaps.

Like many mothers, Beth Paulette aims to provide her sons with a nutritious and healthy diet. And so when her boys began suffering horrific headaches, she had no idea what was causing them. But then a photograph of her kids' school meals explained all.
Paulette and her family lived in King and Queen County, Virginia, where her two teenage sons both attended King and Queen Central High School. For the most part, the boys were relatively healthy kids.
In 2015, however, that all changed. Both of Paulette's sons began suffering from horrific headaches. Soon, in fact, the migraines became an everyday occurrence for the boys, and naturally their mom grew concerned.

How to fix common sleep problems with science
It seems like it's getting harder and harder to get a good night's sleep, with a myriad of distractions keeping us from getting enough shut-eye. We're supposed to get seven to nine hours of sleep, but many Americans don't hit that target every night. Sleep can provide incredible health benefits, like helping us lose weight, improving our memories, and even making us happier. So when you're lying in bed with one of these nine common sleep problems, here's what the science says you should do.
