Hey beauty junkies! I know that this is the most awaited review of the most favorite and most credible source of anything beauty. See, I listen to your requests!
I was in dire need of a new set of Beauty Blenders, beauty blender cleanser, and a primer. As always, I have looked into several websites, and MUP carries the lowest price of Beauty Blenders. I also wanted to try another primer, and I chose The Ordinary's High-Adherence Silicon Primer. There are not much reviews on this from famous beauty influencers, but I've seen real people reviewing them so I gave it a try.
According to their website, MUP started 2010 through Facebook and grew until they opened their own e-commerce website, and three physical stores located in Makati City, Quezon City, and Los Angeles, California. As you can see, MUP is one of the most successful beauty products stores in the Philippines.
MUP can be found on Instagram and Facebook.
What Did I Buy?
- Two (2) Beauty Blender PRO
- Beauty Blender Liquid BlenderCleanser
- The Ordinary High Adherence Silicon Primer
How Did I Buy?
- Make a MUP account
- Choose the products you want to buy
- For every product you want to buy, click ADD TO CART
- If you are done choosing items, click SHOPPING CART and PROCEED TO CHECKOUT
- Then you will be reverted to a page for CUSTOMER INFORMATION, SHIPPING METHOD and PAYMENT METHOD (Paypal, BDO, and BPI Bank Deposits)
- Send PROOF OF PAYMENT to the e-mail address they will be using to send you a confirmation of your order
- And you are done! You just have to go back to your daily life and wait for your package to arrive. Shipping usually takes 1-2 business days.
Experience Review
- Authentic products (proven and tested by me)
- Prices can be cheaper compared to the ones in stores
- Paypal friendly
- Items are not damaged, thanks to their very secured packaging
- No need to pay customs, they deliver straight to your home
- They ship worldwide
- They reply fast through e-mail
- They have their own physical stores for us to enjoy and experience
- They update you with the tracking number of your order
- They carry hard to find products
- My only problem with MUP is that they tend to really sell some items way higher than the other stores. Some told me that they do this with highly coveted products, and I understand so please do what you have to do. Business is business.
Will I Buy From Them Again?
Of course. MUP is the very first make-up online store I fell in love with here in the Philippines, I have transacted with them for 10 times already and never once they have failed me. The ladies I have met in their physical stores are very accommodating and helpful.
Did You Like The Product?
I'll always love BeautyBlender merchandises. The BleanderCleanser is indeed a life saver, it really cleans your favorite blenders even with a small amount of product!
The Ordinary's High-Adherence Silicone Primer is actually good for it's price. It is only 30mL per bottle, but it does it's magic! I'd definitely buy this again and again along with NARS' Pore & Shine Control Primer.

Long Roads, Sweet Destinations - Celebrating Hard-Fought Marriage Success - Steve Wickham
Faith, through the commitment of hard work, is the factor carrying improbable relationships through the years, not without the occasional bumble, to the durability of marital legend.
It's a legacy for the entire family.
It is struggle that often typifies such relationships, early on. The deeper and harder the struggle - provided partners are resiliently committed, and forgiveness is made live and real along the way - the more the blessings of endurance can be tethered and appreciated between the two.
There is no better affirmation of the commitment between a married couple than the preparedness to work; most poignantly when there is much work to be done.
Their approach is realistically buoyant, noting the darkness that attains the moment and, equally, not being pinned down by it. There's a lot of maturity in that.
Work is a paradoxical thing. It's difficult in the act, but the easiest thing from the aspect of hindsight. Work, hence, involves faith. We work for reasons that are not always clear in our view. We work for a hope we need to believe in. And we believe in our partners; that's what marriage is all about.
Better, infinitely, than work, however, is the mutuality of two people entwined in purpose of oneness.
That's where the blessedness of mutual work resides; the faith of two blended into the commitment of one. Such marital single-mindedness will not be broken.
It's always such a great pity when significantly long-term marriages - in the form of 20 and 30 and 40 and 50 years - end before due celebration. Whether it is death or some other form of heartbreak matters little; partners party to those marriages both miss out. There is the legacy of memory and that alone can be celebrated. But the sense of real celebration is tragically cut short.
Married couples who reach milestones of celebration should spare a thought for those not so fortunate; it is further testament to the glowing miracle of faithfulness.
Celebrating significant milestones, particularly in the context of the chiding tumults that have forged forgiving marital characters along the way, seems perfectly inevitable; reminiscent of sweet victories taken from the jaws of many near defeats.
God is faithful in this: when couples battle through, with vision of the cherished destination ever ahead and in view, defiantly together in constancy, they will reach their goal and the work will be worth it. Heavenly sweet is that destination.

If the birds are chirping, the grass is growing and allergy season is in full bloom, that means we've also reached the final announcements of the 2017 Lowell Summer Music Series lineup.
To that end, we're announcing two shows today -- Randy Newman and Bruce Hornsby -- and one final show to be announced next week.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Newman will perform at Boarding House Park on Friday, July 7, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $54 in advance and $154 for premium seats. Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 11, at 9 a.m., at www.lowellsummermusic.org.
This is the first LSMS appearance for Newman, a venerable singer-songwriter who has spent most of the past three decades-plus working as a film composer, but whose biggest hit (1977's "Short People," which reached No.
His other big hit -- 1982's "I Love LA," which featured a million cameos of Hollywood stars and ended up as a tourism pitch and saw extensive usage during the Celtics-Lakers NBA Finals games -- was more of an MTV staple than a radio hit.
But it's his work as a film composer that really stands out. His film scores include "Ragtime," "Awakenings," "The Natural," "Leatherheads," "Meet the Parents" and "Seabiscuit.
He has earned 20 Academy Award nominations in the Best Original Score and Best Original Song categories, winning twice in the latter category. He's also won three Emmys, six Grammy Awards and is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Also worth noting is that the 2017 LSMS season pass is now on sale for $488. That's a 35 percent discount ($263) from the $751 it would cost someone to buy a single ticket to all 16 shows. The average price of a ticket this year is $44. The pass allows someone to attend each show for less than $29 per ticket. In effect, you get to see 17 shows for the price of 11. For local music fans, it's a great deal.
Maybe it's fitting that the only Thursday show in the 2017 Lowell Summer Music Series lineup is announced on a Thursday, as Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers will perform at Boarding House Park on Thursday, Aug. 31, the start of the long Labor Day weekend.
Tickets, which go on sale on Friday, May 12, are $40 in advance and $140 for premium seating.
This marks the third time Hornsby has played Boarding House Park, following stellar shows in 2008 and 2015.
Hornsby is an overnight success who built a lasting career off the quality of his musicianship and the fact that he has made smart career choices. His debut album, "The Way It Is," spawned the title track, which topped the pop singles chart, along with "Mandolin Rain" (No. 4) and "Every Little Kiss," which reached No. 14 in 1986-1987.
The follow-up album, 1988's "Scenes from the Southside," put "The Valley Road" at NO. 5 on the singles chart and "Look Out Any Window," which reached No. 35. His third album, "A Night on the Town," had "Across the River," which made it to No. 18, his final top 40 single.
Though Bruce Hornsby & the Range, which recorded those first three albums, broke up after that third album, it allowed him to explore other musical genres beyond pop, including jazz and bluegrass.
Along the way, he started working with the Grateful Dead (from 1988 through 1995) and eventually formed The Noisemakers in the late 1990s. He also worked extensively with Ricky Skaggs (as chronicled in a recent interview with Skaggs in The Sun) and has also collaborated with the Pat Metheny Unity Group and participated in the Grateful Dead farewell and reunion shows in 2015.
His respect among his peers and the adoration of his fans have made Hornsby an enduring force on the live concert scene, making the Lowell show an anticipated one among music lovers.

I wish I had found this knock-off when my stepdaughter was smaller.
The first time I saw the Disney Princess Carriage bed at Rooms to Go Kids - I thought it was magical. A little girl's dream.
But the price tag is $499.
This knock-off at Seventh Avenue is only $159!

I see green
touching golden grass,
vastness of structure,
shade for comfort,
strong and insuperable,
a traveler's paradise,
I don't see dark,
beneath the shade,
lie roots naked, devoid
of leaves and fruits,
sipping water, from wherever,
digging deeper, beyond it's
length, to make green
A picture perfect,
never is all lucrative,
A picture perfect,
never is about beauty,
A picture perfect,
exists, background known
and visible to a few, whilst all see
Gloomy are the roots, hidden,
it's not known to some,ignored by
some, accepted by some.
It's "menial" for arrogant rich,
it's "sacrifice" for wise, alright,
capable of discernment, living,
but it's also "life-of-many",
not pretty, but exists a "picture perfect".
Such is life, I agree,
I understand and I don't complain.
But next time,
when I see
I shall appreciate thee
hidden beneath

Registering to Vote in California Takes Just a Couple of Minutes Online/
The 2016 primary election took place this past Tuesday, June 7th. The U.S. Presidential election is Tuesday, November 8, 2016.
There are currently 412,924 registered voters in Ventura County, consisting of 138,663 Republicans, 169,759 Democrats, 84,615 Non Partisan and 19,887 Other. Turnout for the primary election was 47.76% (updated), which is actually a significant improvement over the Presidential primary in 2012 at 32.9%. But inversely, of course, it means that a majority of registered voters in Ventura County still did NOT vote in the primary.
The estimated 2015 population of Ventura County was just over 850,000, with roughly 70% age 18 and older. This translates into roughly 600,000 residents eligible to vote in Ventura County, This means that for every two registered voters in Ventura County, there is one unregistered voter. It also means that for every voter in the primary, there were two eligible citizens who did not take part in the voting process.
With all that said, it certainly is EASY to register to vote in California. You can register in less than five minutes online at registertovote.ca.gov. And you can also, as I did, re-register if you would like to change political affiliation, or perhaps change to "No Party Preference."
The screenshots below show you the process. You of course must be an 18+ year old U.S. Citizen on election day, a California resident, and not be deemed incompetent to vote nor happen to be a convicted felon in jail or on parole.

After a fantastic day at the Taj Mahal, Lauren and I left Agra the next morning with our driver Balram for the four hour drive to Jaipur, the Pink City and our first stop in the Rajasthani region of India. Along the way, our driver asked if we were interested in visiting an ancient Baori or water stepwell that was off the tourist grid. We said sure and were blown away at the magnificent Chand Baori aqueduct.
We could climb down in it which was 19.5 meters deep and walk through its intricately carved corridors.
After we got back in the car, we drove through a local village and saw a wedding procession taking place and a group of people in colorful clothing shouting and clapping. Our driver encouraged us to get out and see what was going on and in the middle of a human circle were the bride and groom engaged in a frenetic dance while the onlookers were singing and playing music. Evidently weddings are big deals all over India no matter what your socio economic level is.
Our driver then took us to meet a carpet weaver whom we watched hand weave his beautiful dhurrie rugs.We spent 2 nights in Jaipur in a Heritage Hotel called Alsisar Haveli which was a former home of a Maharajah. There are so many wonderful sights to see in Jaipur. The first day we visited the Hawa Mahal or Palace of the Winds which is built of red and pink sandstone.
At our hotel in the evening we were entertained as the royalty were with dancing and puppet shows. The next day we visited Amber Fort which is known to be the oldest surviving palace in India. In order to get to the entrance of the fort, we had to ride beautifully decorated elephants up the long stone pathway.
We encountered snake charmers and exquisite architecture during our visit of Amber Fort.After a couple of days visiting the tourist sites, we ended our stay in Jaipur with a cooking class we had arranged on the internet at the home of Chef Lokesh Mathur. We cooked a traditional Rajasthani meal and also learned how to cook with cow dung, a very plentiful fuel source all over India. It is not as gross as it sounds as the dung is dried and mixed with hay and doesn't smell at all.

Dow vaults over 7,700 mark
NEW YORK - Stocks set records for the fifth straight session Thursday as a report of weak retail sales last month convinced investors the Federal Reserve was unlikely to raise interest rates next month.
According to early, unofficial results, the Dow Jones industrial average jumped 135.20 points, or 1.78 percent, to close at 7,711.03, a day after closing above 7,500 for the first time.
Other market averages also rose, though the gains were generally smaller, with the Nasdaq index up 3.48 points, or 0.25 percent, at 1,411.33.
Broad-market indexes were mostly higher, with the Nasdaq composite finally breaking into solidly positive territory after struggling early under pressure on computer-related stocks.
An hour before Thursday's close of trading, the Standard & Poor's 500 list was up 12.69 at 882.26, and the NYSE composite index was up 6.35 at 459.85. The American Stock Exchange composite index was up 1.60 at 624.27.
Market participants were effusive in their praise of the market's performance.
"I'm just amazed," said Bill Mahan, a market analyst at Prudential Securities. "Anybody who's not amazed is not alive."
Stocks opened higher Thursday morning along with bond prices, after the Commerce Department said retail sales fell for a third straight month in May, slipping another 0.1 percent, following declines of 0.9 percent in April and 0.3 percent in March. Economists expected a gain of 0.3 percent in May.
"These numbers certainly bolster the case that the Fed will keep rates steady through their July meeting," said James Solloway, research director at Argus Research.
The 30-year benchmark Treasury bond opened higher and was up 1 point at 3 p.m., pushing its yield, which moves opposite the price, down to 6.76 percent.
Stocks were further bolstered by a noontime report from the Investors Company Institute that cash inflows to stock funds rose 18 percent in May to $18.5 billion.
"The current mania for mutual funds to get fully invested by the end of the quarter has been the driving force," said Ricky Harrington, senior vice president and technical analyst at Interstate-Johnson Lane in Charlotte, N.C.
Polo Ralph Lauren shares, newly issued Wednesday, made a strong debut, opening at 32", up from an original price of 26. An hour before the close of trading, the price had drifted back to 31-1/4 but was still leading the Big Board in volume, with 18 million shares having changed hands.
"Ralph Lauren embodies a way of life, one of wealth, leisure and sophistication," said Kurt Barnard, a retail consultant and president of Barnard's Retail Marketing Report. "Now he's offering stock, and everyone wants to be part of this way of life."
Lauren in April unveiled his plans for the public offering of Polo Ralph Lauren Corp., the parent company of the fashion conglomerate whose brands include Ralph Lauren, Chaps and Polo Sport.
The New York-based company and Lauren and his family sold 29.5 million shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
From the offering, Lauren expects to raise $231 million, which will be used to pay dividends and repay debt from a recent reorganization. The company also plans to use the money to broaden its brands and product categories and expand its international and retail store presence.
"This company has a proper capital structure and a good balance of management," said Manish Shah of IPO Maven, which reviews coming offerings on Wall Street. "The chances are this stock won't be cheap from the start."
The company said each share of the Class A common stock carries one vote for the shareholder while Class B shares, all held by Lauren family members, carry 10 votes.
It's been 30 years since Bronx, N.Y.-born Ralph Lauren entered the retail business as a tie maker. His merchandise can now be found in the most upscale country clubs and corporate boardrooms as well as on the streets of urban centers around the world.
AccelGraphics shares lost more than half their value at one time Thursday after the graphics software developer said it expects second-quarter earnings to fall short of expectations because of weak international sales, competitive pricing and fewer orders from a major customer.
AccelGraphics stock fell 313 / 16 to 5" in late trading of more than 2.87 million shares, more than 15 times its three-month daily average of 183,200. Earlier, the stock touched 4", the lowest since the company's initial public offering in April of 2.6 million shares priced at 9.
The San Jose-based company develops software that allows users to view pictures and video on computers. It said it expects second-quarter net income will be 4 cents to 5 cents a share, compared with the first quarter's 12 cents and a pro forma loss in the year-ago second quarter.
Other computer-related stocks turned around after dropping Thursday morning on concerns about slumping demand. On the Big Board, IBM was up 5/8 at 88, and Motorola was up 1 at 69-1/4.
But Compaq was down 2 at 97-5/8 after the computer maker said it would cut server prices in Japan.
Tobacco stocks rose after New York's attorney general said a settlement between cigarette makers and the states concerning industry liability was "imminent." Philip Morris, a Dow component, was up 2" at 44-5/8 in heavy volume.<

People are of different types. A few would love to enjoy life to the fullest making everything a part in their life at a very early stage and age and there are a few who would love to wait for life to give them the opportunity to try everything out. They believe in taking things when offered and not grabbing them as and when they like to. In this modern day world and trendy living, chastity is a big question and a word at stake. Yes, and this is something very closely attached with womanhood who in the present day world fall prey to all that is alluring and attractive. Moreso they would love to try everything that is offered to them without sometimes understanding or realizing the after effects. And sometimes they get to lose things very important in life and one among them is chastity.
Chastity is something important to be maintained at all stages of life especially when a girl is dating for every man wants his girl to be so. So to take pride in his woman and at the same time have fun with her, it is best that they use the sex toys. Yes, these would give them pleasure at the same time keep them safe from all angles.
These sex toys are also sometimes used people for the foreplay; meaning these toys actually help in preparing the anus for something bigger, in terms of joy, pleasure and also experience. They help in making the anus ready and prepared for receiving something bigger than usual. Using a butt plug actually prepares the rectum and primes it up for something to be received. So this way there would be more pleased with very little pain for both the genders. Lock the cock using these to experience heaven on the bed.

I know there are those of us (which includes me) that do not eat the fruits of the labor of our hunter husbands/sons/brothers/cousins/friends/ and those we don't even know. But brother, if you are a hunter, you love to hunt. And if you love to hunt, hunting season is upon us, ladies! So get ready to lose your man to the woods.
I have a quick little give-a-way that will please both hunter and cook.
For the hunter, I have a SOG Folding Knife Fielder –
The fielder knife is one that can be used as an everyday carry or in the wild. it has a SOG sharp blade, classic hardwood handle, high luster bolsters (whatever the heck that is) and low carry pocket clip (I do know what a pocket clip is!). And if your menfolk are anything like my menfolk, any knife is a good knife! My men peeps love collecting knives.
And for the cook, I found these measuring spoons -not just any old measuring spoon, ladies!
These are solid beechwood, etched design, won't fade and hand washing is definitely recommended on this item (sorry, but most any wooded spoon/product should be hand washed..(GAA! I hope you aren't putting your wooden spoons you cook with in the dishwasher! Whew, I didn't think so!) Aren't they just the cutest things??!! I have several sets of measuring spoons, and believe me, when I am cooking/baking, I usually have two or three sets out and am using all of them – I mean, who wants to put a tablespoon you just used for a wet ingredient in a dry ingredient and get the dry ingredient all wet?? Geez! Anyhooo…. I definitely probably have the most items to wash after baking/cooking than anyone!
If you want a chance to win one of these, just leave me a comment saying you would rather have either the knife for your hubby/brother, or yourself etc., or you want to choose the measuring spoons. I will draw a winner for each product on Friday. Have a wonderful rest of the week!

Matthew - Chapter 20
FREE Catholic Classes
Matthew Chapters
1 'Now the kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner going out at daybreak to hire workers for his vineyard.
2 He made an agreement with the workers for one denarius a day and sent them to his vineyard.
3 Going out at about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place
4 and said to them, "You go to my vineyard too and I will give you a fair wage."
5 So they went. At about the sixth hour and again at about the ninth hour, he went out and did the same.
6 Then at about the eleventh hour he went out and found more men standing around, and he said to them, "Why have you been standing here idle all day?"
7 "Because no one has hired us," they answered. He said to them, "You go into my vineyard too."
8 In the evening, the owner of the vineyard said to his bailiff, "Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last arrivals and ending with the first."
9 So those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came forward and received one denarius each.
10 When the first came, they expected to get more, but they too received one denarius each.
11 They took it, but grumbled at the landowner saying,
12 "The men who came last have done only one hour, and you have treated them the same as us, though we have done a heavy day's work in all the heat."
13 He answered one of them and said, "My friend, I am not being unjust to you; did we not agree on one denarius?
14 Take your earnings and go. I choose to pay the lastcomer as much as I pay you.
15 Have I no right to do what I like with my own? Why should you be envious because I am generous?"
16 Thus the last will be first, and the first, last.'
17 Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, and on the road he took the Twelve aside by themselves and said to them,
18 'Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man is about to be handed over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death
19 and will hand him over to the gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified; and on the third day he will be raised up again.'
20 Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came with her sons to make a request of him, and bowed low;
21 and he said to her, 'What is it you want?' She said to him, 'Promise that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your kingdom.'
22 Jesus answered, 'You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?' They replied, 'We can.'
23 He said to them, 'Very well; you shall drink my cup, but as for seats at my right hand and my left, these are not mine to grant; they belong to those to whom they have been allotted by my Father.'
24 When the other ten heard this they were indignant with the two brothers.
25 But Jesus called them to him and said, 'You know that among the gentiles the rulers lord it over them, and great men make their authority felt.
26 Among you this is not to happen. No; anyone who wants to become great among you must be your servant,
27 and anyone who wants to be first among you must be your slave,
28 just as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.'
29 As they left Jericho a large crowd followed him.
30 And now there were two blind men sitting at the side of the road. When they heard that it was Jesus who was passing by, they shouted, 'Lord! Have pity on us, son of David.'
31 And the crowd scolded them and told them to keep quiet, but they only shouted the louder, 'Lord! Have pity on us, son of David.'
32 Jesus stopped, called them over and said, 'What do you want me to do for you?'
33 They said to him, 'Lord, let us have our sight back.'
34 Jesus felt pity for them and touched their eyes, and at once their sight returned and they followed him.

Computer networks form the backbone of organizations big and small. And from offices to mobile switch centers, fiber optic routing and protection is a critical issue. Fiber optic cable transmits an impressive amount of data at high speeds, and you know that sharply bent or cracked cables slow everything down.
When fiber optic cabling fails, the result is lost data, slow-as-molasses downloads, or worse—complete network failure. To meet the demands of today's connected world, electrical contractors need an optical raceway system that does more.
By creating a dedicated cabling pathway, the FiberGuide System isolates fiber optic cables from everyday wear and tear. That means maximum flexibility, lower maintenance, topnotch cable protection, and total network performance.
Cleaner installation means less guesswork and fewer labeling snafus. With virtually tool-less installation, unlimited choice in fittings, support structures, drop options, and adjustable bends, no sites are left behind. That's why the FiberGuide system is the preferred choice in central offices, data centers, and mobile switch centers around America.

ONCE UPON A time, freshly bathed babies smelled only of talcum powder. Toddlers were occasionally redolent of peanut butter or Play Doh, but never bottled fragrance. Recently, however, a new category of perfume products for small children has appeared. Response from consumers, the media, pediatricians and psychologists has been mixed, with several experts expressing dismay at what L.A. psychiatrist Mark S. Goulston terms "needless items that could cause more harm than good."
Trygg Engen, author of the behaviorial-science text "The Perception of Odors" and an expert in children's olfaction, is specific in his concern. "If fragrance masks an odor in the environment, it could prevent a baby from getting important information. Odors are the basis for attachments. An odorant on the child could interfere with bonding, whereas perfume worn by the mother mixes with her natural chemistry to become a unique smell recognizable to the child."
Another consideration is contact dermatitis, which can be caused by ingredients in fragrances and cosmetics, according to Dr. David Whiting, a clinical professor of dermatology and pediatrics at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. "One of the most common sensitizers in adults is fragrance," he says. "Why introduce them to children?"
But Susan Meyer, a spokesperson for Tartine et Chocolat's Ptisenbon, a fragrance line for infants and children, says such worries are overreactions. She says there have been no complaints about the products, which have sold in Europe for two years. Her statement is echoed by Marlene Hare, fragrance buyer for Nordstrom, South Coast Plaza, where Ptisenbon has been a "resounding success since its launch in March." Hare says Nordstrom would refund the price ($30 for a 100-milliliter bottle) if anyone claimed that a baby had a bad reaction, but "there have been no returns."

Giftcard for healthcare expenses
Beeline Reader
We're constantly looking for innovative ways to improve the Springwise experience, and so we're now introducing BeeLine Reader, a new technology that helps you read more quickly and efficiently. To learn more about BeeLine Reader, an award-winning startup funded by Intel Capital, see BeeLineReader.com.
Some 47 million Americans, or 16 percent of the population, do not have health insurance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's last count, and that number is on the rise. Little wonder, then, that Pennsylvania insurer Highmark recently rolled out what appears to be the nation's first prepaid gift card designed specifically for healthcare expenses.

I have a confession.
I aspire to be the best writer I can be, but if I'm being honest with myself, I don't read as much as I should.
Or ever, really.
I love books, but since getting jobs and planning a wedding for the past year, I haven't had any time for reading, or so I tell myself. Sitting down with a book is just hard for me, I'm a fast writer, but a slow reader. It can be frustrating, especially when my other half can devour books in the span of hours what takes me weeks to get through. That's nothing against her, but I want to be able to absorb stories like that too.
So I've made a switch and tried Audible (this isn't an ad for them, although I wish they would give me money for saying cool things about them). I can listen while I work, and I can listen faster than I can usually read. The world of books is open to me again, and it feels good. So good, in fact, that I can share some thoughts on the things I can 'read' here.
Like I mentioned in the previous post, I'm not really doing reviews anymore, since reviews can keep people from making their own thoughts about things and experiencing the world. So, check it out and read it. Good or bad, it's worth it, since today, we're talking about Winter Tide by Ruthanna Emrys. It might get a little spoiler heavy passed this point, so go read the book first. Or, if you do read this, don't feel inclined to take my word for it. Experience it for yourself, it begs reading.
An Homage
I wouldn't read it if the premise wasn't good, so here's the gist.
The town of Innsmouth – a fictional town created by writer H.P. Lovecraft – is thriving until 1928, when it's raided by the American government. The residents are placed in internment camps, which would then be re-purposed for the Japanese during the Second World War. Most of the people of the town perish except for two, a sister and brother. They are released along with the Japanese when the camps are shut down. As she puts her life back together and tries to recover the scattered pieces of her history and religion, Aphra Marsh is approached by the government that imprisoned her, and they need her help. Now in the Cold War, the Americans have word that the Russians are planning on using cosmic magics to turn the tide of global powers, and they need Aphra's experience and resources to track them down through old books and library halls, while also figuring out what to do with her life and her freedom.
Pretty neat, right?
I'm all about Lovecraft and cosmic horror, so I thought that was a nice book to start out with. Thirty-Five chapters and twelve hours later… I wasn't sure what I thought.
Because it's good. The character is atypical, not usually someone you would follow. A weaker author would have been more interested in Aphra's brother, a white guy, but they went with his sister. They look a little like fish people, much like the story their inspired from, which is something they must deal with, and it adds depth to the character, making them easier to relate back to the world they come from. They're ugly looking and off-putting, which connects them more to an alien universe and the oceans of the world than humans, which made for an interesting character.
The connections to the source material were also interesting, bringing in various parts of the Lovecraft mythos: Miskatonic, the Deep Ones, various old Gods, and cosmic forces. At Miskatonic University, students can are educated in Ancient Alien Folklore, or 10-Dimensional Geometry and Symbolism. Other species appear in interesting ways, so that was something I enjoyed. Aphra's respect for the world she came from and its beliefs made it all seem less like horror and more like an alternative religion, which I thought really worked for the narrative. There was purpose behind all the bleakness and darkness, and it made the character that much deeper.
Lots of things happen, it is a full length book. But although there are plenty of scenes, not a lot happens. Many important scenes are wrapped in character dialogues and conversations, which isn't bad, but characters can spend chapter after chapter just… talking to each other, without a lot really changing or the mystery evolving.
What's more, the book has some interesting priorities. Or perhaps misplaced? The characters do an extensive amount of research, but they seem much more inclined to reclaiming their lost culture than finding out who, if anyone, has stolen arcane secrets from the institution. Which is fine, the search for their old lives is interesting in its own right. But that's not how the book was marketed, and so I kept wondering about the mystery and when it was going to come back into the limelight. In some moments, it seemed almost entirely forgotten, before some character, in the numerous conversations, would bring it up again. It was always on the side, but never in the forefront.
Things come and go throughout the story, and I had a challenging time understanding what was mundane and what was cosmically important. Often, I would be deep into a conversation between characters before realizing, "oh, something is really happening here. Things are going places". But those moments were rare. Just as often, I would think something was important, only to have the moment pass and consequences fall through the cracks, unexplored. Problems would arise, and then resolve. I thought of Max Landis talking about writing "and then" as opposed to "therefore", in which there's a significant difference. Moments just seemed to happen from a checklist, because the author wanted them to happen, rather than the characters making decisions and then dealing with the outcomes of those decisions, which is more compelling. Of course, I can't know what Emrys was thinking, but it's how I felt.
If you're a fan of Lovecraft, like me, it's an interesting exploration. The characters are well written enough for me to keep reading. If you have patience, the book can reveal some very entertaining moments. If you're not a fan, or you're not patient, it might be a struggle, but not impossible.
Try it, let me know what you think in the comments if you care. Otherwise, feel free to stick around, there are more books to be read. Posts about books might be rare, I have to buy an engagement ring for books since it takes me so long to finish them. But every couple weeks, I can write some thoughts down. I'm shooting for a thousand books read in my entire lifetime, not as easy as it sounds.
But that should be a lot of material for this blog <3.

#bedroom dressing tables
Modern bedrooms do not often include a dressing table, which is a shame as they are very useful pieces of furniture, especially when teamed with a stool and mirror.
The popularity of dressing tables decreased somewhat in the nineteenth century but soon made a return to the modern bedroom.
Oak has long been used by furniture makers because of its strength and durability; and of course the attractive golden grain patterns. Oak trees take a long time to grow which is why the wood is so strong and so a good oak dressing table should last you for many years to come.
An oak dressing table makes a handy addition to any bedroom and has a classic appearance which will complement a wide range of decors. For a fresher white dressing table, try the Country Cottage Natural Oak & Painted range.
You can buy a dressing table individually or you can invest in a dressing table set which comprises a dressing table with a matching mirror and stool. All our dressing table stools are made from premium grade hardwood and are upholstered in genuine leather with generously padded seats for comfort. We also have a wide selection of dressing table mirrors available; these small swivel mirrors are hardwood framed and designed to meet our demanding standards of quality.

Ignite native persistence is a distributed ACID and SQL-compliant disk store that transparently integrates with Ignite's durable memory. Ignite persistence is optional and can be turned on and off. When turned off Ignite becomes a pure in-memory store.
With the native persistence enabled, Ignite always stores a superset of data on disk, and as much as it can in RAM based on the capacity of the latter. For example, if there are 100 entries and RAM has the capacity to store only 20, then all 100 will be stored on disk and only 20 will be cached in RAM for better performance.
Also, it is worth mentioning that as with a pure in-memory use case, when the persistence is turned on, every individual cluster node persists only a subset of the data, only including partitions for which the node is either primary or backup. Collectively, the whole cluster contains the full data set.
A detailed overview is given in the respective Java documentation.
To enable the native persistence, pass an instance of
DataStorageConfiguration to a cluster node configuration:
<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration">
<!-- Enabling Apache Ignite native persistence. -->
<property name="dataStorageConfiguration">
<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.DataStorageConfiguration">
<property name="defaultDataRegionConfiguration">
<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.DataRegionConfiguration">
<property name="persistenceEnabled" value="true"/>
<!-- Additional setting. -->
Once the persistence is enabled, all the data as well as indexes will be stored both in memory and on disk across all the cluster nodes.

SHEEO Query:
Members and friends:
Texas currently has the following types of public institutions that offer programs in health-related disciplines: stand-alone health-related institutions, universities that include a medical college, and universities that don't include a medical college, but have nursing and/or allied health degree programs. The Texas Legislature is interested in knowing how other states that have stand-alone public medical schools and universities that offer one or more health-related degrees, fund their health-related programs. It is not interested in private institutions.
In order to provide information about how states fund public medical education, we are asking that you complete the following survey. (A hard copy of the survey is attached if you prefer to fill it out, scan it, and return it.) Because of rapidly approaching legislative hearings, we hope you are able to do so as soon as possible.

The sonatas in A Major (KV 331) and C Major (KV 545) are among the most popular of all Mozart's piano sonatas. KV 545 is a firm favourite with piano teachers and their pupils (for many pianists this represents their first introduction to the sonata repertoire) and KV 331 with its famous variation movement and the renowned "Rondo alla turca" is one of the most popular works of the whole Viennese classical period.
This edition is based upon the latest research into original documents and is notable for music that is clear and well laid out, with page turns in convenient places, making the music more readily accessible to beginners and amateur pianists too.

After an afternoon of intensive weeding {yes, I actually do weed sometimes!} we had some squash blossom soup and salad for dinner. Because it has been such a challenging gardening year so far, I think that every meal that we get from our wee patch of dirt is extra special.
I hope that all of my fellow growers are enjoying a bounty in their gardens as well!

For this recipe I omitted the garlic and onion. Next time used regular pasta. The gnocchi was a bit heavy in the soup.
1 tablespoon extra virgin oil
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
3 cups of milk (we used 2%)
1/2 cup celery, finely diced
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2-3 cups of low sodium chicken broth depending on how thick you like your soup
1 cup shredded carrots
1-2 cups of shredded chicken, I just used a bag of frozen precooked, shredded chicken we had on hand
1 package gnocchi, cooked or the equivalent homemade
handful of spinach leafs, ribboned ( I used frozen, chopped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1.) Heat the butter and olive oil in a large soup pot. Saute the onion, celery and garlic in the oil and butter until tender.
2.) Stir in the flour and cook for a minute before adding in the milk. Add the carrots and chicken and let the mixture simmer until it starts to thicken.
3.) While it is simmering, cook the gnocchi according to the directions on the package. Strain and set aside.
4.) Once mixture is thickend, add chicken broth to reach desired consistency.Once mixture tightens up again, add the gnocchi, spinach and seasoning. Simmer until fully heated through.
5.) Serve with your own hearty Italian bread.

Minister Edna Molewa's statement to the President of the UN General Assembly's High Level Event on the Sustainable Development Goals
New York, 21 April 2016
Mr Lykketoft, President of the 70th Session of the General Assembly,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you for convening this important debate.
South Africa aligns itself with the interventions made by the delegation of the Kingdom of Thailand on behalf of the Group of 77 and China and Uganda on behalf of the African Group. It also fully associates with the joint statement by the Secretary-General's high-level support group, of which the President of South Africa, Mr Jacob Zuma, is honoured to be a member.
Mr President,
2015 was a breakthrough year for sustainable development, particularly with regards to theadoption of the historic 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Climate Change Agreement.
We are here today to reconfirm our collective political resolve, at the highest level, to achieve the SDGs, which seamlessly build on the Millennium Development Goals before them. Our collective achievement of the SDGs presents an unique challenge within the next 14 years to ensure moresustainable livelihoods for billions of people, particularly for women and youth, who continue to carry a disproportionate burden brought about by poverty, unemployment and inequality.
Mr President,
I am pleased to report that South Africa's National Development Plan (NDP) anticipated the SDGs and is fully in line with both the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Africa's Agenda 2063. Implementation is therefore already well underway and is focused on addressing the triple challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment.
Our national efforts, in line with the approach of the 2030 Agenda and Africa's Agenda 2063, are premised on empowering all stakeholders to contribute to the collective effort. We regard multi-stakeholder partnerships as being essential to delivering sustainable development results that are equitable and aligned to national needs.
A most welcome and distinctive feature of the SDGs is the vertical and horizontal integration of Women in nearly all the Goals, while Goal 5 specifically raises the importance of Gender Equality. What we need to do now is toenhance the basis for rapid progress, through stronger laws, policies and institutions, better data and scaled-up financing for sustainable development initiatives by women.
Mr President,
The SDGs are firmly rooted in the UN Charter and the Rio Principles, in particular, the principle of Common but Differentiated Responsibilities. This acknowledges that although the Goals are Universal, our starting points are different. Developed countries have a head start, far ahead of developing countries. They must therefore continue to support developing countries through the necessary means of implementation.Meaningful collaboration on developing and sharing technological solutions is a necessity for the world to end poverty within a generation; enable a life of dignity for every individual on the planet; combat climate change and put the world on a sustainable pathway.
Mr. President,
In conclusion and needless to say, at the end of the day we must all be held accountable for the undertakings we have collectively made in these ambitious goals.
For my country, the UN High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development is central in this, as it also has the responsibility to ensure that the necessary support is provided to Member States to help them achieve all the SDGs by 2030.
My Country stands ready to fully implement our fair share towards this global effort.
I thank you

Tiger Woods' summer hasn't been all bad.
Sure, there's that pesky DUI that's being dealt with in Palm Beach County.
And there's the nudie photos of Woods and his former galpal, skier Lindsey Vonn, that somehow ended up on a porn website.
But just as he once did on the golf course, Woods has just chipped one out of a (legal) bunker for an eagle.
Digital Access For Only $0.99
For the most comprehensive local coverage, subscribe today.
Woods and former Surfside cop John Davis agreed to a confidential settlement in a three-year lawsuit filled by Davis after he allegedly hurt himself while working security at Woods' sprawling beach mansion in Jupiter Island.
"Yes, the lawsuit has been resolved confidentially," said Michael Feiller, Davis' Coral Gables attorney. "All parties reached an amicable resolution."
No word from the intensely private Woods' team of attorneys.
A source close to the case who didn't want to be quoted said Davis was "very happy" with the settlement, even if he didn't get enough cash to retire.
"Tiger's insurance company didn't want to put him through some public trial," the source said. "That's not what the guy needs right now. So, they took care of it. That's why Tiger's insurance premiums are much higher than the average Joe."
Davis was patrolling Woods' eight-acre, $50 million property two days before Christmas 2010 when, according to the lawsuit, he fell heavily on wet marble pavement. The lawsuit asserted that a badly oriented sprinkler head caused the marble to become slippery.
Davis twisted his knee, and the injury required surgery and months of unemployment.

Over the summer, I spent ten weeks in New York interning for Bank of America Merrill Lynch in the investment banking division. During my internship, I worked in the Industrials coverage group and worked on multiple transactions and deals with global companies. During my day to day work, I analyzed companies' financials with valuation methods and prepared pitch books and management presentations including comprehensive research and market analysis.
As a securities division summer analyst at Goldman Sachs, I had the opportunity to rotate through the derivative sales, sales trading, core franchise sales, and electronic trading desks. I had a fantastic summer experience learning about the firm's business model and the various roles within the division. Throughout the internship, we had weekly stock pitches as well as a derivatives project which consisted of performing risk-reward analysis on various derivatives instruments.
Overall, the internship provided me with deep insight into the financial industry. I absolutely enjoyed reading research reports on various companies and then having the opportunity to attend company road shows and other deal presentations. Finally, I benefited enormously from the people I learned from and worked with this summer. Goldman Sachs professionals are incredibly brilliant and resourceful, and I really enjoyed gaining their mentorship and support!
This summer I spent the majority of my time in Providence, Rhode Island. My stay in Providence pretty much entailed three things: constantly studying Organic Chemistry, working as an RA for the Summer@Brown pre-college program and lastly, really getting to explore and appreciate the Providence area. At first glance, this may not sound like the ideal, adventurous summer, but in reality it allowed me to see providence in a different light and really come to appreciate and love our campus and its location.
Aside from being in Providence, I got to spend some time at home in Arizona where I was able to help with the Arizona Ivy League Project, a program that helps talented high school students prepare to apply for Ivy League Universities. I even got some vacation time in and traveled to Mexico with my family. Overall, this summer, like all summers, has flown by, but I'm excited for this school year to start and I'm excited for everything WIB has in store.

The outcome of today's Crimean referendum will make little difference to global markets. The majority of the population on this peninsula are ethnic Russian and so the result was a foregone conclusion. Market tone for the week however will be set by the reactions to today's ballot.
The Ukraine, Europe and the US have all condemned the referendum as illegal and will refuse to recognize its outcome. Russia is the only county that intends to give validity to the referendum result.
An escalation of tensions is inevitable. The impact on the markets next week will be dictated by the extent of this escalation. There are two crucial elements to look out for.
Firstly, there will no doubt be sanctions imposed on Russia by Washington and others. The nature and magnitude of these sanctions will be important, will they be nominal in nature or will the US go so far as to attempt to curtail Russia's Gas and Oil exports. The latter, apart from being an 'own goal', will yield an unpredictable reaction from Moscow and swiftly create a safe haven configuration in global assets.
Secondly, this referendum is designed to encourage a reaction from the ethnic Russian population in the eastern part of the Ukrainian 'mainland', should Moscow's provocation work then this crises will rise to a whole new level.
Outside of the geopolitical risks that will form the narrative for next week the secondary drivers of the markets will be provided by the 'Big 3' Central Banks.
The US Federal Reserve will announce any interest rate changes on Thursday, although in reality none are anticipated. The real market moving event here is the potential for changes to pace of the Fed's bond purchase program. There has been some talk of the Fed reducing the rate of tapering, a low inflation reading on Tuesday might just be the catalyst the need to do this.
Wednesday will give us a glimpse inside the minds of the Bank of England's Governors. The minutes of the recent Monetary Policy Committee will be published and the markets will be looking for any deviation from the expected unanimous vote of all nine members to hold interest rates steady.
Europe however provides the key risk event tomorrow morning in the form of the Eurozone Consumer Price Index. Any reading below last months 0.8% will call into question the European Central Banks analysis of the inflation situation and most likely spark a robust Euro sell off.

Alternative medicine, also known as mind-body health care, includes hypnosis as one of its many methods of healing. Because it relies upon the patient's active participation in his/her own wellness (as opposed to relying solely on chemical medication to treat an illness, for example), hypnotherapy is an ideal addition to an alternative health care regime.

text: Jun 2011 I ended up at Lucknam park after being whisked away for a surprise weekend. And i can honestly say that it is a fantastic place to spend a weekend or 24 hours. There is so much to fill your time with. But this post is a restaurant review of the Michelin Star restaurant within the house at Lucknam Park so i shall get started, We (two of us) sat down at 21:30 for dinner at the restaurant. First impressions were positive, the dining room is divided into two, a main bigger room and a small room. We were seated in the larger room which would have been my preference. The restaurant offers spacious dining with no two tables being near each other, one of my favourite things when dining. Our table was at the back near the wall and was neat;ly layed out. Upon being seated we were informed of the specials which immiedetly grabbed the attention of my partner who put his order in for that which was the beef with truffle jus. The menu offers a gourmand menu at about £90 and then a choice of either 2 or 3 courses at £70 or £80 (i think!) We were feeling not so hungry (being so late) so opted for a starter to share, a main course each and a dessert to share. For the starter we chose the scallops, my partner chose the beef special as a main and i opted for the venison. We made our choices and we were left to mull over the vast wine menu. Most of the wines started at at least £60. The somelier's assistant (!) came over and offered some suggestions but we stuck to our guns and went for the Pomerol which was on the somelier recommendation list. So glad we did as it was one of the nicest red wines i have had in a very long time. Absolutely delicious. The starter of scallops came with 3 scallops and was utterly devine. The mains arrived in good time after and every mouthful of both our dishes was savoured and met with 'mmm's. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and the pureed vegetables and jus' complimented each meat ideally. For dessert we glanced over the menu, and feeling pretty full we decided to share. The waiter recommended the babanana plate and due to his wonderful pitch we were sold. The somelier this time also offeed a recommendation of some sparkling english dessert wine. Thank goodness we listened as it was light, fruity and delicious. The highlight of the meal however was the dessert. It was incredible. By far the best dessert i have sampled. It consited of minature banana influenced desserts, a banana canalloni, moist and tasty banana cake, some salted caramel ice cream, banana popcorn and some toffee sauce. Incredible. I would have to say that my meal at Lucknam Park was one of the best i have had, every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Would definitely recommend for special occasions.

text: Although it may seem, due to my lack of posting, that I haven't been very crafty lately, I assure you that is not correct! I have been sewing up a storm - but since everything I'm working on is either a surprise or a gift of some sort....I can't share it - yet! Yesterday I did get a good start on another pair of dollies though. I really can't make enough of these babies! Hopefully I'll finish them up today and send them off tomorrow. We shall see!

In the '50s, people in England were worried about their children's health, so English milk was enriched with 1,600 units of Vitamin D to the quart. At the same time, Americans were enriching milk with Vitamin D too, but only 400 units.
But vitamin metabolism can be complicated. After a couple of years, it was found that super-enriched milk was actually bad for children. The 1,600-unit milk could cause a Vitamin D overdose.
It wasn't a lethal overdose, though such a possibility exists: A number of Arctic explorers have been killed by eating polar bear liver, the most concentrated source of Vitamin D known. But the 1,600-unit milk could cause vomiting, anorexia and severe mental retardation. On top of that, some of the children developed a peculiar "elfin" look to the face.
Meanwhile, flax seed is supposed to be good for you, but it interferes with your ability to get thiamine and pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) from your food. In the same way, kidney beans are "antagonistic" to Vitamin E.

The Time Is Now for Sharing Medical Charts Online
The internet is a part of our everyday life, and it is time that certain industries come on board and integrate with our daily lives. The most important industry I see should fulfill this demand is healthcare.
Everywhere access to healthcare is becoming more important every day. With people working across the globe, the need for medical chart access is paramount.
Let's take private contractors who support military in Iraq and Afghan for military efforts, for example. Granted, they have medical attention if they really need it. However, for the medical provider to obtain and review medical charts to provide adequate care for the person, it is going to be tough.
(It is not like the person can go around carrying around their own medical chart in their pocket. We also cannot just put them on a USB drive and send via SFPT.)
On the other hand, let's take the point of view of people and/or families traveling around the world. Some might be refugees, dislocated families, and/or travelers. Their medical charts are needed when for their safety but also for others' safety when entering a new country.
It is important for both types of end users in this example. The medical providers could potentially provide the wrong type of care, and the patient might have something of which they might need to inform medical providers.
So, this brings us to two question: what can be done about it, and how can it be done?
With all the local, state and federal laws, along with company and corporate policies in place, there is a lot of red tape that would make it sticky to move anything forward for anyone. There are so many items that need to happen prior to the exchange of this information, and respectfully so.

Saara Aalto has revealed Honey G is her 'inspiration' on The X Factor 2016.
The last of the Overs singer says she looks up to the rapper, who was eliminated in the Quarter Finals last month.
"She's my inspiration in a way because she's doing her own thing," Saara said this week. "If Honey can be who she is, then I can be who I am – there's room for everybody."
While Honey G has now left the house, she and Saara are still in touch after being mentored together by Sharon Osbourne in the same category
"I saw her and she said: 'Saara, you're doing so well.'," Saara told Now magazine.
In the chat, Saara also spoke about her new title as favourite to win the show.
The Finnish singer confessed she never expected to make it to the final after appearing in the sing-off for the first two weeks, even making plans on the assumption she'd have been eliminated by now.
Saara explained: "I was supposed to have concerts in Finland last week but I've had to cancel everything."
In the final this weekend Saara's set to perform alongside Adam Lambert in a bid to win the show.
However the Finn faces competition from 5 After Midnight and Matt Terry who will be hoping to beat her.
The X Factor 2016 final airs this Saturday and Sunday night on ITV at 8PM live from Wembley Arena.

By One Who Knows
Before I get to that news, I want to tell you that we will be getting the Exact Instructions for the GCR BEFORE we take any actions. Just relax, there is a plan that includes EVERYONE. Since the GCR is at our doorstep, I have been getting questions about my posting after the GCR....
I'll Be Moving
I'll still be posting after the GCR about New Age, Manifesting, Reality Creation and other more advanced stuff. It is my JOY to do so. However, Intel Dinar Chronicles will have served its purpose by then. I expect it will still be here, but the GCR will be over and Disclosure and Enlightenment will be next. Patrick will be Posting my writings on his other website, "Operation Disclosure."
This web site will take over as the "Premier" location for Light Workers on a Mission. I don't know how much "Hands-On" Patrick will be on that web page after the GCR, but he will have good people running it in the way that we have come to expect from Patrick. First class in every way.
The "Grape-Vine"
I have heard through the "Grape-Vine" that all the Humanitarian projects and enlightenment type posts will be transferred to that website for easy access. I fully expect it to be "The Place" to find out what is going on and to share and learn from each other. While I don't know this for a fact, I am quite sure that some of our favorite posters will make an appearance there, from time to time, as well.
What To Expect
I wouldn't be surprised to see things like Videos from Hollow Earth, and interviews with our Extraterrestrial Brothers and Sisters, advanced technologies, and travel videos from Mars and every other planet in our solar system and beyond. We will learn about getting Space ship "Rides," getting flying cars (And Yachts), and learning how to teleport. It is truly going to be amazing and wonderful at the same time.
Heads Up
Sephora & I have had many adventures, that you didn't know about, in defeating the Evil Cabal on this Planet, and we will be releasing some amazing stories about our recent adventures soon. It involves Energy, Portals, Ley Lines, and Mind Powers to mention a few topics. We have been asked to share as a sort of "Personal Disclosure," and I can tell you that you will be amazed. As before, we have pictures of the before and after of "Things" we have done and discovered. It turns out that we were "Allowed" to take pictures so that we could later share them with you. Sephora is an amazing person with abilities that I wish I had. While posting about Currency wasn't really her thing, I hope and expect that she will post more of the super interesting stuff after the GCR. In the mean time, those recent stories will be coming soon.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that writing, sharing and teaching is what I love more than anything. It will not come to an end just because the GCR is over. My writing will just evolve and move to Patrick's other website "Operation Disclosure." On that site I will share stories about Human Super-Powers, manifesting, Reality Creation and matters relating to Ascension just to name a few. I look forward to seeing you all there after the GCR is over....
Until then, With ALL MY LOVE,
May You Get Everything You Want and Live The Life Of Your Dreams/Plans

I'm so excited to share with you that I've become involved as a Cause Entrepreneur for
HOPE. Their cornerstone product is
HOPE Wine produced by Rob Mondavi, Jr. and every bottle makes an impact. Specifically, I am part of the via
HOPE community, a program that brings private wine tasting and fundraising into your home, office or event setting with 10% of wine sales from your tasting benefiting a 501-C3 nonprofit of your choice. Additionally,
HOPE donates 50% of the profit on every bottle to specific non-profit partner 501-C3 charities. Lets work together to help end childhood hunger, plant trees, work towards curing cancer, find our furry friends a forever home, help veterans and so much more! #WineNot
Like Coffee? Us too! viaOneHope also provides Micro-Loans in the developing World through their coffee profits!
In 2007, eight young entrepreneurs, just barely out of college quit their jobs at a big wine corporation and joined together to form a wholly new kind of wine company on their own terms. With 168 cases of "Hope Wine" and a public storage unit, they started selling out of their cars. Guided by the mission of giving everyone the opportunity to do good with their everyday actions, they turned a modest wine startup into one of the largest independent wineries in the US and have donated over 2.6 million dollars to making a social impact.

is a city located in Kanagawa, Japan, about south-south-west of Tokyo. It used to be also called (short for ). Although Kamakura proper is today rather small, it is sometimes considered a former de facto capital of Japan as the seat of the Shogunate and of the Regency during the Kamakura Period. (In reality its independence from Kyoto was never complete)
820 years ago, in 1180, Minamoto no Yoritomo built his mansion here. Consolidated his power, he later ruled from home, and his government was therefore called . He was succeeded by his sons Yoriie and Sanetomo, and this place remained the seat of the government for 46 years until 1225, when his wife Hōjō Masako died. It was then transferred to .
Erected in March 1917 by the Kamakurachō Seinendan
Kamakura. A small town (7250 inh.) in Sagami which for several centuries was the second capital of Japan. [...] At present there remain of the splendor of the past only the famous Daibutsu and the Tsurugaoka Hachiman temple.

a city where they had a special bed for guest's. If said guess was too short they would stretch him out,
If said guess was too tall they would cut him down to size.
It seems that figuratively keep catching people trying to put me in this bed.
It gets irritating after a while.
Of course I'm sure many of you have experienced this bed.
I'm sure many of you don't like it, that's understandable .
The question is what do you do to escape from said reality.
In truth fantasy is wonderful but it will never get you out of the bed.
Me I got plans and I have taken action. So soon my friends real soon
I will be sleeping in a normal bed with a big old down blanket.
So aside from education, I have another Idea/action I'm going to add
to the construction of my proverbial ship. Autosuggestion !
Everyday I'm going to wake up and look in the mirror, Everyday I'm
going to tell my reflection whats going to be.
Weather I Tell myself
I"m going to be happy
I'm going to be independent
I'm going to be wealthy
I'm going to be healthy
I'm going to get over all my setbacks and hang ups
I'm going to find friends
I'm going to find a girlfriend
I'm going to execute everything I plan
so I will let you know how everything goes, but privy to the fact that this has
worked for a few millionaires I know, I think It will work just fine.
In other news I think I'm done with the whole
needing to project my Anima[look up Carl Jungs theory about this]
Or for survivals sake she has decided that now is not the time.
Honestly I don't care anymore. I'm a man
who has some issues with his self and with his upbringing
but now that I'm able to think about it more clearly.Or rather
not obsess about it I think I'll be okay.
I think it had allot to do with looking in the mirror.
It would be silly for me to go about fully cross dressed.
I'm a big Man I have big shoulders big hands big feet,
and since I have started working out again
I have grown to appreciate how I am.
I wouldn't eradicate my Anima or her little ideas
nail polish and a few of the tats but I'm definitely not
looking to be to fem these days.

I love jackets and trust me when you live in Seattle, jackets are a must have for 9-10 months out of the year. I have been loving the moto jacket look and found these three that I think will pair with almost everything in my wardrobe.
1. Quilted leather moto jacket - I don't own anything this beige color but I love how it's paired with gray here which I do own a lot of so I'm thinking it may be good for me to venture out and try out this color. The one thing I'm concerned with is if it's too close to my skin tone which happens a lot with this color and then it just looks weird on me.
2. Faux leather moto jacket - I'm always a fan of the mixed materials in jackets, I love the look of the different textures so I'm really liking the look of this and think it will look great paired with boyfriend jeans and skinny jeans.
3. Boucle jacket - This jacket may not keep me too warm, I'll have to see how thin it is but I love the color and the texture. It also comes in petite sizing which I'm hoping that the sleeves will fit me as usually I find that jackets are much too long on my arms so I have to roll up or scrunch the sleeves.
I always need more sweaters! I love to layer them over blouses or I like to look for details that will look great underneath a jacket. Most of the time in fall, I rarely take my jacket off when I'm out and about.
1. Crochet sweater - I love the crochet detail and it's really pretty in the pink too. It's juinors sizing though so I'm always a little wary of the stuff from the juniors department. I find it to fit either too boxy or too tight. This one I'm thinking might be too boxy but we'll see. I did see this very similar but luxe version by Joie. I may have to order it just in case!
2. Stripe sweater - this looks very similar to the sweater I got last year that I love. I wore it so much during the winter so I like that they updated it.
3. Floral sweater - I tend to stick to smaller patterns which they say work better for most people, especially if you are on the shorter side but I wanted to try this floral one. I love how they paired it with boyfriend jeans which as much as I love my skinny jeans, I've been trying to incorporate the boyfriend jeans into my outfits more.

Not from a Legal point of View, rather from an ethical, a spiritual, a freedom point of view.
One does not have the right to silence near the ocean or on a hot summer night full of crickets, or in a suburb full of lawnmowers.
Peace here is not an option or a choice on the cafeteria menu.
Where does one go to "hear" absolutely nothing at all?
In a quiet moment here I have the tick-a-tack of the keyboard, the fan running in the kitchen and very little noise considering it is supper cooking time. Music is off for a change and I am just trying to think.
Today was one of those conspiracy day when two planes were practicing their very noisy acrobatics just above my head and where I had visions of owning a bazooka or one of them choppers downers (FIM-92A Stinger) the Americans sold to the mujahadeen in Charlie Wilson's War or of being Snoopy with goggles and leather helmet and scarf in the a Red Baron Spitfire and shooting the 2 mofos down. In fact I was telling the wife that if I had one of them Stingers I would only have to shoot one plane down, the other would get the message fast and fly the fuck out of Dodge as fast as he could. :)
Next was some neighbour reading his roster titled "Let's annoy Joe" and realising it was his testosterone time to crank some chainsaw sounding Neanderthal instrument, argh, argh, argh. I need one of them chamber that cuts out all senses and sensations.
In fact I think I would enjoy silence but I don't know for how long. What really annoys me more and more recently maybe is more like the Loss of Control over my environment.
For instance a few things here :
1. Vacuum
2. Dish Washing
3. MRI machine
Vacuum and Dishwashing noise do NOT annoy me when I make it, the sacred "I" again, but when anyone else makes that noise around me I get annoyed if not irritated
MRI machine for some strange reason do not annoy me one bit, maybe because I know how long it's going to last or that it can't be helped and in fact it is almost soothing in a primordial, primal kind of way, a bit like a noisy womb I guess.
So most of the time when I say I want silence I mean more accurately I do not want YOUR noise imposed, forced down my throat or ears rather, raped into me.
I want MY noise, MY environment control.
On a short sidenote here, driving or being a passenger, also drives me totally bonkers because of the lack of control over so many idiots out there. My visions then are not Bazookas or Spitfire but rather a Tank or a Hummer with a huge bull bar to ram that moron that knew very well he DID NOT have the time to cut in front of me but didn't care. That will fucking teach him when I RAM his ass to smithereens, make him tumble five or six times and then beat his face to a pulp foaming at the mouth and screaming and spitting into his face, maybe , maybe he will be a little more reluctant to cut off the next driver next time since it seems to me that arrogant assholes if they understand anything at all is the language of reptilian fear.
Do I have Issues you ask?
Anger Management you say?
Well FUCK Anger Management! :)
I don't need anger management. I need people (aka idiots) to stop pissing me off. :)
Anyway back to my right to silence, I am not sure how easy it was back in the days well let's say 1955 or even 1943 ( the year the Little Prince was written) and I wonder how silent a "desert" would be in the middle of the night. well it would not be silent on a horse with no name or on a camel anyway would it be only due to the noise them animals can make at times
but where does one find Silence when one would love Silence at a particular moment?
Hell Buddhists Temples are full of constant bell sounds.
It really seems to be a no win situation since galactic space is not readily available to the average Joe.
Two persons and the silence is ruined in a very short time.
One person and then you got some water and food issues after a while besides the million other things that could invade your peace even in the middle of a pitch black night: coyotes, birds, dingos, crickets what else and what not. Crows here a one of the big offenders, very noisy sounding almost human like a baby in distress. That's another thing, baby, and you can forget the sounds of silence for months now, well on a long term basis anyway.
Now if you live in a cheap motel we all know that you also lost your right to silence as you do when you live in a trailer park or any other socio economical bogan rednecks laden neighbourhood.
While I am on silence and noise control here is another one of my favourite rant.
A plus de quatre on est une bande de cons says Georges Brassens. More then four and we are but a bunch of cunts roughly translated.
So here we go Sports and Musical assemblies or Concerts of many kinds. Ahhhhhhhh!
The joy of watching a movie with yappers right behind you, you know? And all that Jazz.
Live music on YouTube is usually unwatchable to yours dearest here because of the dozens or hundreds of morons that ruin it all.
Classical Music seems to be an exception where people are more shall I dare say it CIVILISED.
Opera and Symphonic Orchestras seem to get a decent respectful crowd ('cept for the obligatory cougher if it is recorded) but God help you if you're a nobody singing in a drinking hole.
And don't get me going on Sports now.
Those moronic ijuts that follow Hewitt everywhere, them Barmy Army, all the crazy drunks and those memorable VUVUZELAS. Here is another image of forcing every single one of those Hell Machines up the ass of every perp that used one.
Even the sports commentators get on my nerves, has been losers who are telling the champion top players of the world what they are doing wrong and how they should do it.
The very fact that they are sitting on those chairs being paid a pittance compared to what they USED to make is a sure sign that their mouth is much bigger than their actions. And that is not half as bad as when nothing is going on but god forbid we have dead air and the dreaded silence on radio of telly filling the gap with absolute A grade SHITE.
I know I should practice my own rule and Fuck knows I don't but:
"The best policy when one has nothing to say is to SHUT THE FUCK UP!" :) Voila!
So in some form of a formless conclusion and confusion:
Silence is NOT an option for the living.
There is silence only in the grave or at least we hope.
But once in a while one can always dream a little. :)
If I don't type here all I hear is the quiet noise of my computer fan which is as good as it gets for a short moment, too short most of the time and usually at this time of the night in our liturgical routine here it is music time just before TV time at 7. Nights are a little quieter after that but days are nightmares too often.
But noise like a fart knows no boundaries.
Another reason why I take my noise reducing earphones anywhere I go most of the time.
Shopping centres, trains and most of all waiting rooms
where we have all been invaded by Big Brother's screen propaganda blasting us over and over again whether we want it or not
and a bit like Woody Allen in Annie Hall at least with them earphones I am not obligated to suffer unbearable stupid and smug conversations or brats and babies torturing their mothers.
Live and Let Live and Peace on Earth to Men of Good Will but I think those went with the last T-Rex who could bite the head off of anyone that pissed him off without a blink or a single remorse.
Who needs frontal or temporal lobes now? :)
