This aqua green dress is made for petite women who want to look naturally beautiful, and with a throwback to the 1960s at that. This sexy bright floral dress has embroidery and embellished details, along with a long maxi dress that goes down to the feet. However, it is generous on top, featuring a scoop neckline, empire line and adjustable straps. It lets you go sleeveless and without any shoulder weight. The lined design only complements the true to size fit, which is not too tight or loose. It is lightweight woven fabric with 100 percent viscose for the outer material, and 100 percent cotton for the lining. The embroidery is made of a combination of acrylic, polyester, viscose, and metallised fibres. This special material necessitates hand washing.

The London Transit Commission has unveiled details regarding London's rapid transit system. The announcement comes ahead of a series of city meetings starting this Wednesday. The meetings will share details with Londoners about the rapid transit system.
Open House Dates:
- February 28: 11a.m. – 2p.m. – Central Library
- February 28: 5:30p.m. – 8:30p.m. – Oakridge Secondary School
- March 1: 5p.m. – 8p.m. – Western University, London Hall
- March 3: 9a.m. – 12p.m. – Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church
- March 3: 3p.m. – 6p.m. – Fanshawe College
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) can benefit Londoners whether you drive, bike or bus. With the population growing congestion on roads will be effected. The LTC believes now is the time to plan for BRT. Construction is not set to begin until 2020 and will take a decade to complete.
BRT will give buses dedicated lanes increasing the amount of buses and reducing riders wait times. The LTC plans on having buses arriving at stops every 5-10 minutes during rush hour, a big increase compared to what is currently in place. This will also improve connecting buses making it easier to travel around the city by bus.
The plan to improve London's transportation is set to cost $1.3 billion which will include road improvements. $746 million will be used to widen municipal roads while the cost of the BRT is $500 million. The LTC promises only $11.7 million will be paid through property tax dollars during the construction.
Londoners have immediate concerns with the road widening set to happen on Richmond Street with possibilities of it affecting local businesses and homes. The road would need to be widened 1.15 meters on each side to accommodate the middle lanes for rapid transit.
If there are any other concerns residents can visit any of the open houses provided across the city.

The Federal Government's Potential Power to Coordinate or Take State Assets During Emergencies
There is confusion among some state emergency management officials regarding whether the Stafford Act and eminent domain laws prevent the federal government from commandeering or taking state resources during certain emergency situations. The Stafford Act indeed allows the federal government to coordinate state response efforts under dire circumstances.
The full article (in pdf form below) by CHHS Law & Policy Analyst Raymond Shin appeared in the May/June 2011 edition of the Journal of Emergency Management.

Among the many microorganisms, two fungal organisms of one each of beneficial and pathogenic groups are discussed for their similarities and differences. Beneficial organisms are the species of the genus Trichoderma viride. The harmful pathogenic organisms are several species belonging to Aspergillus such as A. flavus.
Fungi of both the groups are micropscopic and grow to a cottony off white irregular mass (some inches longwode) consisting of many microscopically visible numerous intertwined filamentous structures called (2-10 microns in diameter) hyphaemycelia. These are septate (compartmented) with clear partitions between segments, or coenocytic (multinucleate, mostly with no compartments), and also hollowempty showing freely randomly distributed nuclei in the cytoplasm generally at the growing apices of these hyphae. They all contain all the usual subcellular organelles necessary for the other metabolic phenomena such as synthesis of proteins, cell wall material, and respiration. Generally they are aerobic.
They are all heterotrophic because they lack chlorophyll may live in dry or moist soil, decaying organic matter or on other organisms such as barks, stems, roots, leaves or of trees. The fungi are widely distributed in all the kinds of environments. They produce numerous spores asexually or sexually fertilized zygote which are dispersed in air, or by sticking to surfaces of motile other organisms.
They are generally recognized by staining with dyes for coloring the hyphae which are a product of general or specific for each organism specific metabolism
Species of Trichoderma produce enzymes called chitinases or cellulases which Therefore they are very useful as antagonistic microorganisms or even to produces these enzymes under controlled in vitro conditions.
The pathogenic species of aspergillus Aspergillus such as A. flavus survives by colonizing on many nutritionally important fruits and seeds such peanuts and many other species during maturity and post harvest storage.. It sucks nutrients and carbohydrates from the seedsfruits thus depriving the seeds and fruits developing into mature useful seeds. They are thus big loss to farmers.
Aspergillus flavus is notorious for promoting the production of a deadly carcinogenic toxin in the seeds called the aflatoxins. Even at low concentrations such parts per billion can be very potentially carcinogenic. Peanuts are used for consumptions in various ways and also as oils and butter for confectionary purposes. The persons consuming any of these infected products are high dangers of developing many kinds of cancers which are still not curable. There is a strict ban on importing and exporting seeds of these crops.

Perhaps not your favourite part of being a librarian, accounting is nevertheless a critical component of the business of running a library, and librarians with a working knowledge of accounting are more effective decision-makers. G. Stevenson Smith's Accounting for Libraries and Other Not-for-Profit Organizations provides practice accounting information for those librarians who don't want to be accountants, but do want to keep track of the bottom line. This update of the classic text provides the fundamental principles of library accounting for practitioners.
Reviews 1
Library Journal Review
Not every librarian needs to understand accounting, but for those who do, this is a welcome revision of Smith's classic textbook. Smith (accounting, West Virginia Univ.) carefully walks the reader through basic accounting principles and practices using pertinent examples and exercises. He clearly develops concepts and explains why the modified accrual method (MAM) is preferred for libraries over the cash basis or accrual method. Basic fund groups are examined, and the entire book builds to an analysis of combined financial statements, audits, and the use of financial and performance ratios. Smith's Managerial Accounting for Libraries and Other Not-for-Profit Organizations (ALA, 1991) is more concerned with internal financial reporting. A few other works are broader in scope: Madeline J. Daubert's Financial Management for Small and Medium-Sized Libraries (ALA, 1993), Ann Prentice's Financial Planning for Libraries (Scarecrow, 1996. 2d ed.), and Betty J. Turock and Andrea Pedolsky's Creating a Financial Plan (Neal-Schuman, 1992). Recommended for library administrators lacking a business or accounting background.ÄSkip Auld, Chesterfield Cty.

Remember that health care system in Britain that some elected officials so desperately want to emulate (some even acknowledge that the public option is just a stealth way to get to a single-payer system)? As IWF has said all along, it's not all it's cracked up to be.
From BBC News:
Failure to pick up cancer at an early stage costs the lives of up to 10,000 a year in England, the government's cancer tsar says.
National Cancer Director Professor Mike Richards described the situation as "unacceptable".
Currently, 90% of patients are diagnosed by symptoms, rather than through screening.
Professor Richards' comments will feature in a forthcoming article in the British Journal of Cancer.
In the piece, Professor Richards says: "These delays in the patient presenting with symptoms and cancer being diagnosed at a late stage inevitably costs lives.
"The situation is unacceptable so the first big step has been to understand why the delays occur."
Delays in detection and treatment are inevitable under a system where the government controls the nation's health care system, because controlling costs is (and will be here if it is allowed to pass) a key priority. The government dictates all aspects of citizens' access to certain services and treatments, including the location and size of treatment centers.
And don't forget, the Lancet Oncology, a prominent health care trade journal, demonstrated in a 2008 study that the five-year survival rate from breast cancer in the United States is 83.9%; the five-year survival rate in the United Kingdom is 69.8%.
I'm all for free trade, but this is one thing we do NOT want to import from the UK.

Mehbooba Mufti's grand plans for women in the Valley
Politician Mehbooba Mufti wears many hats, but what remains constant is her identity as one of Jammu and Kashmir's most recognised and successful women politicians. In an interview held during the HT Leadership Summit, the potential CM discusses her plans for the women of her state.india Updated: Dec 13, 2015 13:03 IST
Politician Mehbooba Mufti juggles many identities. She is the daughter of Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, the probable next chief minister of the state (which would make her J&K's first woman chief minister), the president of the Jammu & Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party and a member of Parliament from Kashmir's Anantnag constituency.
Underneath all that, what remains constant is her identity as one of Jammu and Kashmir's most recognised and most successful women politicians. Although the BJP-PDP tie-up, Section 370, India-Pak relations and the rise of ISIS remained at the forefront of her discussion at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, held in New Delhi on December 4 and 5, she took time out to discuss her plans for the women of the state she represents.
Read: Bihar defeat is a blow to Hindu fringe groups, says Mehbooba
Excerpts from the interview…
If you succeed your father, you will be the first woman chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir. As probable CM and a Member of Parliament (MP) from J&K, what are your plans for the uplift of women in the state?
We are very committed to the cause of women's development in the state. Thirty-three per cent reservation for women was implemented in the last panchayat election, but in general panchayat as an institution women were not given any powers. So we will be giving them enough powers to work effectively at the grass root. Only when we have women in governance will we be able to construct a system to help them. Then there are other schemes that we have introduced for women… the Ladli Beti financial scheme to save the girl child as like in other parts of the country the female-to-male ratio was showing an alarming downward trend.
Read: Mehbooba Mufti says Muslims will stay in India, calls Hindus tolerant
We also plan to provide better education facilities free of cost or with minimal charges once the girls born under the scheme are ready to join school. We are focused on providing various skills to females to make them employable and self-supporting. We also have a scheme to provide financial help to girls from very poor families to meet the expenses of marriage. We are also concentrating on skills development… Kashmir is known for its handicrafts and we want women to use their skills in handicrafts, but would also like to train them and provide the opportunity to work in IT, call centres etc.
Read: People can register protest in Indian democracy, says Mehbooba Mufti
You mentioned during the discussion that India needs to help youngsters from Kashmir integrate with the rest of the country, that there is a lot of fear in their minds when they travel outside Kashmir about how they will be perceived by others. Is this more true of the women, and if it is, what are you doing to bolster their confidence?
As I said, we are trying to work on skills development… We are trying to improve the level of education among women. We would like to include more women in governance. There have been cases of domestic violence. We need more women in the police force so that victims feel comfortable approaching the police for help.
But are economic and political reforms enough to give women confidence? Much has been said about the withdrawal of AFSPA [the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act] in Kashmir. Over the past 25 years of AFSPA in the state, there have been many allegations of sexual violence against women perpetrated by members of the armed forces...
In any conflict situation women are the first and the worst victims of rights violations and atrocities are committed on them from both sides. There is a village in Kashmir that is commonly associated with sexual assault...
Watch: Mehbooba Mufti in conversation with Hindustan Times
(Nods and continues) I have been there many times and have promised those women that we will try to do everything to help them to lead a dignified life. It is a cause very close to my heart. I want people to think of something other than rape when they think about that village. I want the women there to work on their skills; I want that village to start farming high-density apples or be known for its handicrafts. We need to change the image of that village from victimhood, which they have gone through, to a model village, model in infrastructure, schools, health and above all a self-sustaining one, especially for the women folk. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for them to get over that pain and move on.
Read: Mehbooba Mufti on Pak role in Kashmir and ISIS
But what about justice? Don't you want to get the alleged perpetrators punished?
The cases are already in court. As a state it wouldn't be correct for us to intrude in the legal system. And we don't want to do it either. The Army gave such a good decision in the Machil fake encounter case. [Six army men, including two officers, were recently sentenced to life in prison in the 2010 fake encounter case in Kashmir]. We want the system to do justice without pressure from us to do so.
What about the men who have disappeared and the half-widows of Kashmir (women whose husbands have disappeared but have not been declared dead)?
This too is a huge issue. Most of them are becoming more and more difficult to trace. Many believe they may have been killed one way or the other, there are reports that some of them may have crossed over to the other side, but nothing can be said for sure. It is a tragedy for these women, who are stuck in their past and can't move in any direction. Do we have the courage to face that data? Not just that. There are so many militants who have returned to Kashmir along with their wives and children under the "coming back home" policy . There is the question of their wives who are from the other Kashmir or Pakistan. Once they reach Kashmir they don't have the permission to visit their families ever, on any occasion, whether there is tragedy like death or celebration like marriage back home. I met a woman recently whose brother and father had both died in an accident in Pakistan, but she could not go there even to attend the funeral. There are so many issues. We are only starting to look at them.

Hello All and Happy Father's Day to all dads!
Just a quick update to show you our front and back garden blooming like mad.
With minimal effort, it looks much better than last year. We sprinkled MiracleGro a few months ago over the whole garden, and it did the trick; especially the roses are loving it. There are more and more showing up every day. My favourite are the white and pink ones.
In the courtyard, the red roses are doing fine too. They are so beautiful and elegant.
Enjoy the rest of Sunday!

Musing Mondays
How does your reading (or your blogging) fare in the holiday months? Do you read more or less? Do you have to actively make time to read?
To me, the holidays haven't started yet till December and by that time, as my Sunday Salon post states, I'll be buying everything (hopefully) on my list. So I guess my reading would be busy, so would my reviewing and blogging. Aside from these, I need to study and continue answering as many modules as I can. We would be traveling too. Decorating of the house. Cooking and preparing for the usual Christmas celebration. Shopping and gift giving. Christmas party on school and hang outs with friends.
Beyond these, I have nothing else to do and most of the above mentioned would happen on certain days and not on a daily basis so I believe I won't be really that busy as the most of you will.
Bottom line is: I haven't actually started! And I really feel that I could handle things.
So what about you?

Finally the map geometry is complete, its taken along time because ive extended the map dramatically by adding a forrest bypass which acts as a major chokepoint and objective. Initially the map was small and with all my maps I try to keep the player in my world for as long as possible so this was the obvious choice.
I am now up to cluttering and ai placement as well as some building and terrain touchups on the way.
Now for your turn, I want the community to name the town which our German soldier is capturing and sweeping the enemy from.
The name must be:
Original or something that fits the background (Something unique would be a plus)
English in name (no foreign names it must be a British name)

Shannon and Heather: Lawrence Recalls Meeting the Minstrels
Rory straightened and smiled. Elaine bounded over to her father. "Father, Father, Rory was showing us how to pretend to be different animals!"
Caithness was jumping up and down. "Aye, Father, and he was making us laugh and laugh!"
Lawrence grinned, "Aye, I heard that. He must have been making some very funny faces or something."
Caithness' s voice was choked with giggles, "oh he did, he did."
Rory bowed to Lawrence. "Me lord, I know 'tis time for the princesses to settle down to a nap…"
Both the girls chorused, "Noooo! Please Father, let us stay and play with Rory!" Their nursemaid had come in from an adjoining room smiling indulgently. The King said, "Ah good, Mistress Elspeth.. now thou canst be the villain who maketh these poor waifs take their nap…" he gave Rory a significant look and they both beat a hasty retreat and left the nursemaid to calm the girls down.
Lawrence said to the minstrel, "Rory, can thee not come and share a cup of wine with me? We have not talked these many days."
Rory smiled and nodded. "I should like that, me lord."
In Lawrence's privy chamber the two sat to drink the wine that Clancy had brought them. "McGuinness 'tis a mixed pleasure to have thy company, with that third place now vacant." Rory looked at the chair that would have been occupied by Shannon.
"Aye, me lord. 'Twill take a long, long time to become accustomed to that empty chair. Mayhap we can call on one who may fill it and take our minds off the lack?" Rory smiled wistfully.
Lawrence stood, motioning Rory to stay seated as he did. "'Tis a fine plan, and I knowest just the one." He went to the door and spoke to Clancy. The boy came in, hesitating, and reluctantly took the chair the King directed him to.
Rory reached to the boy and put a hand on his shoulder. "Methinks we keep forgettin' how great a loss Shan is to thee, me lad." The King nodded.
Clancy accepted the cup of wine the King offered him, but sat scrunched uncomfortably in Lawrence's presence. "Aye, Rory, and me lord, 'tis hard, but I have me work to do and it keeps me mind off the hurt."
There was a silence between the men and the boy Lawrence sought to fill. "I was just trying to recall how long 'twas that Shannon first came to us here in Christenlande. Was ere we knew either of thee, methinks. Was it when we were still at Ratherwood Castle? Methinks I was not even there when he came with Sean the Scotsman. My lady did tell me of their arrival just weeks before I came home to her."
Rory nodded, "Sure and that is so, me lord. If I recall he had been traveling' with Sean for many a month, and he had just met and wed Heather. And methinks Sean was just wed to Emily also. Yet these two brides agreed to travel all the way to Christenlande." He paused, "No. agreed is not the word with Heather. She was not happy at all at the move."
Clancy tentatively spoke up. "Sire, how did ye come to meet me brother? I mean, sure and he was in your court, but ye became such friends. How did that come about?"
Lawrence took a sip of his wine and smiled, reminiscently. 'Let us see if I canst recall the details. I do recall that the first night ere I was back in Ratherwood I did hear Shannon and Sean both play and sing.. a most agreeable entertainment, at the supper. And aye, Rory, 'tis true. The young brides were there." He seemed to remember something and a slight cast appeared on his brow. In a sardonic voice he remarked, "'Tis strange, this web of people and times, to think that Elerde was there that night as well." He made an effort to dispel that particular memory.
"that night I told my lady the Queen that we needs must convince these minstrels to stay with us. She most enthusiastically agreed, but told me that Sean would not stay.. his pretty wife was with child and wanted to go home to Scotland for its birth.. and they did leave and stay for many years."
Clancy asked, "But me brother Shannon stayed?"
Lawrence nodded, "Aye, and came with us to Lawrencium when we came to occupy this very castle." He looked about the room and smiled warmly.
Rory put in, "But 'twas not long after that Shannon went back to Ireland to bring his young son Seamus back to live with him and with Heather. 'Tis then that he and I fell in company and did not stay long away from each other since." At Lawrence's reminding look, he added, "Save when we were separated in the clan war."
Clancy was relaxing. "Me lord, can ye tell me about your first meetin' with me brother?"
Lawrence appeared to concentrate on old memories. "Aye, let me think. I recall sending for him and Sean to discuss staying with the court permanently as court musicians. Of course Sean disabused me of that hope immediately. I was sore disappointed, as his battle songs were most rousing and well delivered."
"Och, I have ne'er had the pleasure of hearin' those, me lord," Rory interjected. He leaned for the pitcher of wine and refilled the King's, Clancy's and his own cup.
Lawrence thanked him. "Now O'Neill, that was a different matter.. " He chuckled. "I am afraid thy Brehon law and general liberty in Ireland for such as thyself and Shannon.. and thee, Clancy.. made relations between Shannon and me difficult at times." He touched his left cheekbone. "Some times more than other. But even at that time when first ewe met he was saucy at best and downright insolent at worst." The King's smile belied his words.
"Och, 'twas enough to drive Prince Peter mad," Clancy laughed, then looked embarrassed.
"Nay, Clancy, fear not, I knew that Peter found Shannon's familiarity discomfiting." He put his cup on the table, sat back and crossed his legs, one ankle on the opposite knee. "But that was something to do with being young and wishing to be treated as older. For me 'twas different. I had ne'er thought to be King and had just become accustomed to the deference with which I ere was and am treated.. Shannon's … shall we say.. casual demeanor took some getting used to."
Rory observed, "I seem to recall, me lord, that ye dinnae stay annoyed long."
Lawrence grinned, "Nay, 'twas impossible to stay ill at ease with Shannon. Such a lively spirit, his."
After pause Rory said more solemnly, "I think could ye have seen him at war, me lord, 'twould have surprised ye. Ye may not credit it, but Shan was a true son of the O'Neill. He did fight with fierce tenacity for his clan.' Clancy nodded, looking down at his cup.
Lawrence's demeanor had become more serious as well. "Aye, and 'twas a broken man we saw when he returned form war without thee, Rory. He didst believe as did we all, that thou had been executed. And there was little more to him then than a shell into which he poured ale and sought to bury his grief and the sorrow at losing Heather's love in riotous living. 'Twas the beginning of the end for him."
Clancy reached up to hide a tear.
Rory nodded. "Aye, ere I was after arrivin' and findin' your kingdom usurped and hidin' in me disguise to protect the Queen.. 'twas that hard to hide it from the O'Neill. E'en when I could reveal meself, 'twas too much damage had been done." Rory stopped speaking as his voice became uneven.
Lawrence picked up his cup again. "To Shannon O'Neill, one of the finest men who ever lived!" He toasted. The two Irishmen lifted their cups as well in salute to brother and friend.
The King looked at each in turn. '"'Tis my fortune, and that of my lady, that the man graced out lives not only with himself but with thee, Rory and Clancy. I couldst not imagine our lives without thee." He seemed to think for a while, then turned to the boy. "I know I have made thee a servant, thou who has the royal O'Neill blood, and 'tis not fitting thou remaineth such. What wouldst thou have for thyself, Clancy? To follow in thy brother's footsteps? To become a squire and thence a knight? What?"
Clancy was startled. "Do I displease thee, me lord?" he asked.
Lawrence shook his head, "Nay, nay, thou art more than extraordinary a servant, but thou deservest so much more than that." He and Rory looked at Clancy, waiting for his answer.
"I.. I dinnae know, me lord. I shall have to think about it. 'Tis a great decision to make and a great honour ye offer."
Lawrence smiled. "Think on it then, good fellow." He lifted his cup again. "To Clancy O'Neill, a fine fellow on the brink of destiny."
Rory and the King toasted Clancy, whose eyes had already gone vague as he began to think of what he would do.
Next? Not sure. There are at least three story lines I can post next. Two are about what happened after Shannon's departure. I guess you will find out which I chose tomorrow!

Erand or Ricinus Communis
Treasures of Nature (Prakriti Ka Khazana) – Erand
Erand, known scientifically as Ricinus communis, is a shrub found in wild habitats and is important because of many health benefits it offers as per Ayurveda, the ancient medical science of India. Its parts like roots, leaves, seed oil are used for different purpose. There are two kinds of erand viz. Seeds erand and Root erand.
Castor oil obtained from Erand i.e. Ricinus Communis is very useful for helping breast feeding mothers secrete milk. Lactating mothers may massage their breasts with castor oil to stimulate mammary glands and thereby boosting milk flow. Castor oil can also be applied before bathing as it helps keep the skin healthy and acts as an aid to good sleep to curb insomnia. It is also helpful if applied to eye brows and eye lashes to keep them brimmed.
Castor (Erand) is helpful in treatment of rheumatic and skin diseases. It is one of harmless purgatives.
One can also use castor oil as hair oil as it helps in curing dandruff and provides a healthy scalp. With 250 to 350 ml of luke-warm milk, 30 to 60 gram of pure and odourless castor oil can be mixed to form a purgative in order to help cure constipation.

Septimus. The seventh. Destined for greatness… Destined for grapeness more like!
Ahem. By that I meant that I have a little problem with that addictive creation of Dionysus' known as 'wine'. It's just so orgasmically delicious, alright? I don't think that there is a God of Hangovers up here, but if there ever is, and I ever meet him – or her – I'm just going to hit the bastard in the head…repeatedly. That's what my hangovers feel like, anyway, so it would be poetic justice. You think you struggle with the morning after? Try being a God – we don't have the constitution for it.
I used to be able to predict the future, and I still can – but only when I'm too paralytic to do anything about it and too incoherent to tell anyone about it. Even though I struggle with the sauce – the sauce wins more often than not – there are still ways I can impress Zeus and prove to everyone that I am a deity worthy of Mount Olympus. Specifically, I'm reasonably sure that nobody else can put away as many leather skins of the juice in one sitting. Yours truly is also capable of flight…provided that I've scoffed enough beans or the like and get in a decent run-up.
It really is inexplicable that my magnificence has not been recognised yet.

Now that beard transplants are a thing (wait, no, beards are over!), ladies are starting to get in on the facial hair fun, too. Well, at least according to this one NYC hair restoration specialist.
Dr. Robert Dorin, who we're choosing to imagine looks just like Dr. Zizmor except with a spectacular head of hair, tells Harper's Bazaar about the "significant increase" in the number of women requesting Cara-esque caterpillar brows. Here, he explains how the process works (note the double usage of "artistic"):
Eyebrow transplants are a technically-demanding procedure that involves careful planning. The eyebrow position must be artistically designed and then filled in with single and double hair grafts. The grafts must be meticulously placed at specific angles and directions of growth in order to mimic the natural eyebrow.
Eyebrow restoration is a highly artistic procedure in which a brow is individually designed based on the facial type, features, and results personally desired.
We'll keep you updated on further facial hair–related trends, which may or may not include "artistically designed" nostril hair and/or cat whiskers.

Band – Acid Fast
Album – Rabid Moon
Label – Protagonist/Adagio 830
I have a very good friend who also writes a blog about music, when he comes round my house I tend to bore him to death by showing him whatever new records I've recently acquired or downloaded. Our tastes have grown apart over the last few years and most of what I say falls on deaf ears but when I showed him the album sleeve for 'Rabid Moon' by Acid Fast he was completely fascinated and more than intrigued. I know where he's coming from, my first encounter with Acid Fast was seeing this album artwork and my first thought was that I must listen to this ASAP. I had no idea, really, what to expect but those dogs look so ferocious that it was drawing me in. I put the record on and was completely sold on the band from the off.
Acid Fast are satisfying a need for a type of music I hadn't realised I was hungry for. A lot of what I had been listening to recently was angry, moody and introspective but this was loud, upbeat and outgoing. But Acid Fast are a rock'n'roll band and this is a rock'n'roll record. Big thumping indie punk anthems with excellent duel vocals and more hooks than a cloakroom. Everything is loud, overly distorted and, as I said, big! Especially the melodies that capture your attention on each of the killer tracks and keep your interest right to the end. Acid Fast come from Oakland, CA and feature ex members of the band Big Kids which is a big reminder to me to go back and listen to Big Kids more.
Maybe there are plenty of bands playing this Superchunk-esque, grand, indie punk sound but not many that I've encountered. Perhaps Joanna Gruesome but that's all I can think of. Maybe I should lift my head up, turn of the depressing stuff more often if this is the kind of result I can expect. I doubt many bands will make an album this instantly excellent this year mind.
Oh and my friend who I mentioned at the start who was intrigued by the artwork, just checked with him and he still hasn't listened to it!?!?? But you're not reading his blog so pay no attention and trust me when I say you need to buy this record!!!!!
You can buy the record from Protaganist HERE

The boss of Europe's largest activist groups for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people is to give a lecture at Lancaster Priory.
Ruth Hunt is the chief executive of London-based Stonewall, founded in 1989 to protest against the introduction of Section 28, which stated that a local authority 'shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality'.
Its founders included Sir Ian McKellen and Lord Michael Cashman.
Most recently, its campaign has included posters on London buses with the strapline 'Some people are gay: get over it!'
Rev Chris Newlands, vicar of Lancaster Priory said: "Ruth will be giving a lecture in which she will comment on the Church of England's attitude to LGBT people. I think it is fair to say this will be quite provocative – and it is a real coup for us to get Ruth to come to Lancaster to give this lecture, and I hope it will be very well attended not just by people who agree with her, but by people who will wish to engage with what she has to say, and even to challenge her views."
Mr Newlands was recently elected to the General Synod, the governing body of the Church of England, and said he will use his position there to continue to press for greater inclusion of LGBT people in the life of the Church of England. The lecture will take place on Tuesday October 27 at 7.30 pm. All are welcome.

I used an entire bottle of the original formula in 2013 and it applied evenly with no streaks and gave a natural brown tan. The only complaint I had about the original was that I'd need to apply two coats in the same night to get the color deep enough for my preference. I bought the dark in January 2014 thinking that I could apply only one layer of this instead of two of the original which would save time and product. My complaint about the dark is that it turns my skin an orange tan. Not as bad as some drugstore self tanners were orange but the tone isn't the same brown as the original. My skin is NC15 naturally and the Orange tint just was too unnatural. I spoke to a girl working at Ulta today about the two formulas and she agreed the dark is orangy and to stick with the original and make sure to exfoliate. Also the dark mousse comes out green so you can only apply it at night before bed or when you won't be out in public. To exfoliate the Tree Hut scrubs are nice, I tried the Brazilian Nut scent and it was nice and took down some of the orange tan.

I'm really not sure what all the fuss is about this product. First of all, it absolutely reeks on me. I am literally smelling my arm right now after having a shower and it still smells of fake tanner. Blech. How people can say there's no smell is beyond me. Second, I find it dries too quickly to rub all the product in, even with heavy moisturizer on. As for the colour, I woke up this morning and was like, "whoa? What did I do?" It looked super orange and streaky on me, but after my shower, a lot of it rinsed off, and it's a more natural colour, although, I've seen better. This is my second shot with this product (the first time I was more tanned, so it was easier to blend the colour into my skin), but either I'm really bad at applying self-tanner, or this product is just not worth the hype.
I'm still on the hunt for my HG self- tanner, but for darkening the skin, I still prefer Sally Hansen airbrush legs in Deep because now that is an application that is fool proof, and the colour is really natural, even though it makes me freakin' dark.

This is One of the darkest self bronzer mouse that i have used. Im already lightly tan, but i want more, that deep dark bronze look like when i came back from my vacation in thailand. I dont want an orangey, jersey shore look. I hope nobody would want that. Anyways, this does the job, BUT there are some downsides and a technique to use this.
This is not a non scented bronzer. Its for sure not the worse ive smelled, but still, i would not put this on and go somewhere. DO NOT USE BARE HANDS OR YOU WILL REGRET IT.USE A MIT!!It can be streaky if not blended in properly. It dries fast which is a both plus and minus but with the minus, its hard to blend to not get streaks. The color going on is DARK and is not the color you will get. because it dries fast and its super dark, the trick is to use this before bedtime then Wake up to a very overly bronzed self and SHOWER.
The color left behind is the color you want. Its like taking a few steps forward and taking a step back. The color last a couple of days. The color has like a green color to it, dont freak out. Its to counter act an orange tan.
This is an expensive bronzer.....but it works and the size is generous.
Overall, its a pain in the ass, work to use, slightly smelly bronzer.....but with the steps i use, i achive a very dark natural tan overnight.

The only fake tan I use and ever will use. The only down side is - when it comes to finding it off - it really isn't as dark as you thought it would be (me anyway). But never the less it is still dark. And doesn't go on patchy for me. I do get comments from my partner that it doesn't smell great when I first put it on but hey it's worth it lol. Without this I am just a pale milk bottle x

I have been using this product for the last 2 years and it's still my absolute favourite. I use self-tanner religiously because I'm naturally very fair and I just find that a tan suits me so much better.
St. Tropez dark gives me such a perfect, natural looking tan (which is tough when you're super pale), that lasts well and fades naturally & not patchy like many other tanners. I also find that this mousse is very forgiving; it is extremely easy to blend, and the dark guide colour makes it pretty much impossible to miss a spot.
I always exfoliate before I use it and moisturize my hands, elbows, and feet; when following their steps I've never had any issues. I've tried many other self-tanners and they've either come up short, or led to an orange, streaky disaster.
An important thing to be careful of is that this product will definitely transfer slightly and tint your clothes when its developing, I put it on at night time and just make sure to put a towel on my pillow and wear loose dark pyjamas. I have made the mistake of wearing like clothes after initial application and my clothes looked like they'd been soaked in mud in the morning, but it came right out when I washed them.
Just a side note, I'm also not that big of a fan of St.Tropez's tanning mitt because I feel like it absorbs too much product, personally I love the Vita-Liberata mitt (even though I really dislike their self tanner) because its smoothes out the tan so easily over the skin and doesn't soak it all up.

I've bought three bottles of this stuff. LOVE everything about it. It is a very forgiving tanner imo meaning I can pretty much slap it on and it'll turn out ok. I do use the St Tropez mitt to apply. Makes me about two shades darker in one application. It does fade in about 3-4 days but it does so evenly for me. $42 but I buy it when I have a 20% off coupon at beauty brands. I will always use this tanner as it's the best out there and well worth every penny.

Where to start!
Packaging is a cool black and blue normal pump bottle.
I apply to washed and exfoliated skin with a tanning mitt. Rubs in fairly well, easy to see the coverage as of the colour guide - appears green! This is good tho - weighs out the orange look you see on most people when it has developed.
I apply a little bit of moisturiser to hands and webbing etc - works perfectly. Not even needed unless you have dry skin.
I would not wear any light coloured clothes for a good few hours tho... It will rub onto the clothing/sheets. HOWEVER it does not smudge the tan on your body... unless you obviously rub it harshly.
DO NOT go near any water until it has developed.... its hard to fix/patch up again.
Having a shower is a must after it has set... you will have a green tinge to your skin.
A lot comes off in the shower but still gives a nice tanned effect. Pat your skin dry after every shower to increase the life of it.
Moisturise with a nourishing cream... i wouldn't recommended St Tropez moisturises as a combo with this, need to mix it up with something that you know will nourish your skin otherwise it will go flakey. yuck - one con with this!
Wears at a nice strong tan for a few days then slowly goes to a sun kissed look for about 1-1.5 weeks.
LOVE this product!

After using St Moriz for a while I wanted to try St Tropez to see if it's much better and to be honest both the products are very similar, however, St Tropez fades so much more naturally and it's a lot more moisturising and smells a hundred times better. The dark formula isn't actually that dark, it just gives your skin a nice light olive tone to it but is perfect for what I wanted. Overall I would say that is is worth the money and it's definitely worth a try. I got mine from the gorgeous shop for only £24.75 which is quite a lot cheaper than its retail price:)

Great product, great colour. Performs just as well as the regular mouse but looks darker going on. The tan itself is darker than the original but still looks beautiful, brown and natural. this is not orange at all! It develops very quickly and doesnt smell too strong either. Im really loving this one and highly recommend it. I have reviewed a few tanning products so check out my pther reviews for reference. St tropez is definitely my favourite so far

Holy F@$%ing Spinning Elbow from Down Under
The newest professional mixed martial arts fight promotion in Australia, Hex Fight Series, debuted with an awesome card that included Jordan Cameron landing a "KO of the Year" candidate on Luke Mark Catubig.
HFS origins
One of the owners of the dominant and defining league in mixed martial arts was asked once to define the power of the sport.
"… there's the holy s— factor," he explained. "Actually, they said 'the holy f—ing s— factor.' It happens at every fight. At least one or two times in every show, whether you say it out loud or you say it to yourself, you go, 'holy shit did that just happen?' I mean, you might see somebody do a flip, get kicked in the head, get knocked out with a punch. At some point, you're going 'whoah, did that just happen? Did I really just see that?' That's the nucleus of what our product is."
The UnderGround scours the sport to find those HOLY F@$%ING S#!^ moments from across the globe.

On Saturday morning in Hudson, we buried Maggie between two trees at the cemetery she liked walking her dog in. Sondra Loring, owner of Sadhana yoga studio said some words. It was snowing. We put rose petals on her casket. Afterwards, we went to Club Helsinki for the memorial.
Then I had to get out of Hudson, so Matt, Cynthia, and I drove into New York City.
On Monday night I read at The Strand Bookstore for The Goodbye To All That anthology. I was honored to read with Dani Shapio and Emily Gould. Instead of reading my own essay, Sari Botton (editor of GTAT) had me read Maggie's essay: Think Of This As Window.

Debates concerning the effects of playing video games have been around for over three decades. However, the alleged negative effects (such as addiction, increased aggression, and various health consequences such as obesity and repetitive strain injuries) tend to get far more media coverage than the positives. I know from my own research examining both sides that my papers on video game addiction receive far more press publicity than my research into the social benefits of playing online role-playing games.
However, there is now a wealth of research showing that video games can have innovative educational and therapeutic uses, as well as many studies showing that playing video games can increase reaction times and increase hand-eye co-ordination. For example, research has shown that spatial visualization ability skills (i.e., mentally, rotating and manipulating two- and three-dimensional objects) improve with video game playing.
Adding to this long line of studies showing the more positive effects of video game playing is a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Vikranth Bejjanki and his colleagues. Their newly published paper demonstrates that the playing of action video games confirms many other studies that people who play fast-paced, action-packed video games show improved performance in perception, attention, and cognition.
In a series of experiments on small numbers of gamers (10 to 14 people in each study), the research team reported that gamers with previous experience of playing action video games (AVGs) were better at perceptual tasks (i.e., pattern discrimination) than gamers that had less experience of playing AVGs. In one of their other experiments, they also trained gamers that had little previous experience of playing AVGs (getting them to play over 50 hours on an AVG), and showed that these gamers had much better performance on perceptual tasks than prior to their training. The paper concluded that the "enhanced learning of the regularity and structure of environments may act as a core mechanism by which action video game play influences performance in perception, attention, and cognition".
In my own papers, I have pointed out the many features and qualities that make video games potentially useful. For instance, in an educational context, video games:
Because video games can be so engaging, they can also be used therapeutically. For instance, they can be used as a form of physiotherapy as well as in more innovative contexts (for instance, a number of studies how shown that I children play video games following chemotherapy they need less painkillers than children engaged in other activities).
Video games have great educational potential in addition to their entertainment value. This is because video games are motivating, engaging, interactive, and provide rewards and reinforcement for skill improvement. There has been considerable success when games are specifically designed to address a specific problem or to teach a certain skill. However, the transferability of skills outside the game-playing situation remains an important factor. What is also clear from the scientific literature is that the negative consequences of playing almost always involve people that are excessive video game players. There is little evidence of serious acute adverse effects on health from moderate play.

After a positive tax report for May, Nebraska tax revenue took a step backward in June, falling 10% below projections. Governor Dave Heineman says the report poses another challenge for state officials.
"I am concerned that receipts for this fiscal year may fall short of projections, I am currently evaluating options to continue slowing spending this fiscal year."
June tax receipts were 34 million dollars below projections. Gross sales taxes , a measure of how much consumers are spending , was nearly $11 million below projections.

Just want to clear the air here…
First of all, about shooting mechanics, the point is that it's supposed to be clunky. This isn't a typical modern military shooter, they are trying to give an atmosphere of post apocalyptic struggle. There is currently ONE assault rifle (and it's pretty overpowered), ONE scoped weapon, it nails the atmosphere.
Keep in mind it's closed beta… most audio files are placeholders, lot of balance issues and lag issues of course. There is no tutorial yet so most things you will just have to discover on your own (for example where the artifacts are hidden). I think "putting on clothes" is fairly obvious, and it's also fairly obvious that sitting in poison gas will kill you pretty quickly. Some people are a little more bullet spongy if they are wearing body armor, but this body armor is heavy and drastically reduces that player's stamina. You can take full limb damage, for example, getting shot in the arm can prevent you from shooting, reloading, aiming, switching weapons etc. for a short period, and will reduce aim, getting shot in the leg can prevent you from walking, or sprinting, and will reduce speed, all of this depending on how severe the injury is. There is regenerating health but it is very slow, however it can be sped up with medkits or the Lakspur artifact.
I honestly think this guy maybe spent 5 minutes in menus before playing because he missed a lot of things that I thought were fairly obvious on my first playthrough. The game is not at all paywin, at least not in it's current state, I have way more in-game money than I know what to do with.
I think PvP mode is pretty unique, compared to other FPS games, it feels slow, and tactical. You get more points for playing the objective than you do killing people. There is a lot of opportunity for teamwork. Future modes will not be PvP only but will have AI enemies similar to the STALKER games, however keep in mind this is not STALKER by any stretch, it is a different game and a different franchise, and it is very much in closed beta so treat it that way.
can i play this game as well? please!?
I played the closed beta. Its crap. Ugly crapigs and weird weapons. The mg does no dmg and has an uber recoil and the rifle just one hits everyone. It also looks like a pay2win game. This game won't survive for long. Give it 1-2 years and no one knows it anymore.
Hi, I'm White Rabbit from MMO magazine MMOSvět for Czech and Slovak players and I would like to say after watching this video that I'm really disgusted by how low MMOBOMB dropped. This Spunkify videocreator knows nothing about this game and he should be not doing any video about it if he has no information. As Curst said this game is really good and it would be a shame to not try it just because Spunkify has no idea and is talking nonsenses. He even doesn't know how to put on his pants in the game?! Are you kidding me? Next time dont let him destroy a good game for so many people please. This video is full of lies and misleading informations!
Agree with you White Rabbit,he didn't even put effort into looking how the game works lol worst first look from this site.
What did he lie about?
There were clearly some things he was confused about, and he expressed that confusion in his comments.
Didn't seem to me like he was lying about anything, just describing stuff that you can see jsut by watching the video.
First Looks are meant to give your first impressions. Everything he said was backed by what took place in the video. The game is janky, with piss poor shooting mechanics. That is FACT. The mechanics that he did not understand he said he did not understand.
I don't know what you mean by "doing a video with no info on the game" but it seems to me that you don't understand what a first look is and are just butt hurt that the did not sit well with Spunkify. If you watch the video on youtube you would see many people agree with him as his criticisms are not unfounded.
Calling the game a 24 Open Beta, only served to heighten expectations and unfortunately it met none of them and plays like a game in Alpha State. That is all.
This, so many times this.
Half of this video all I heard was "Bitch bitch bitch, I rather be playing COD cause the muzzle flash is to bright and recoil is to hard to control QQ".
This game is a insult to Stalker just like ESO is a insult to the Elder scrolls series. Its something that should have never been done if they were going to lame it down. It looks like atmosphere is about the only thing they got right so far. Not holding my breath for this one, probably going to be another buy our cash shop cosmetics and premium, then let us run with your money MMO.
the game is good, but i would like to see more games like Blacklight Retribution, where the setting is a bit futuristic, with weapons that dont really exist, because there are plenty of games using real life weapons and i find it really boring
Planetside 2 is exactly like that.
The question is how the Open world mode will be…
No need for a brainless Team Deathmatch game
They are using "brainless team deathmatch" to iron out existing optimisation and connectivity issues as well as weapons balance and other similar things.
Spunkify is as clueless as ever. 😛 "Alien" plants don't grant superpowers, they are a chemical hazard. Stick around them for too long and you'll die from poisoning. There are also sites with radiation, fire and electrical hazards. Some can be countered by protective gear (rebreathers, radiation suits, etc.), others can only be avoided.
Damaged body parts affect gameplay greatly. It takes spunkify to not notice it. Wounded hands lower accuracy and increase weapon sway (critical wounds will prohibit you from doing anything with your hands), wounded legs slow you down or prohibit movement at all depending on how serious the wound is, etc.
I was also wondering, but I was to lazy to type it, hehe.
I would be clueless too if I were to play this game and encounter these mechanics. No need to hate on Spunkify homie.
rakanms…..Get out of here. Who are you trying to be like The Mountain? I MOUNT YOU BABY!!!!
Spukey….When will you do a First Look video of The Mountain doing his thing?
i SHALL MOUNT U HARD… I SHALL MOUNT U FAST… I SHALL MOUNT U WITH NO HANDS! SON YOU'VE BEEN MOUNTEDD!!
No hands?….That's because you wave them in the air like you don't care as I continue my mounting of you.
Consider yourself…STILL MOUNTED!!!

Fat Loss Tip - Don't Simply Cut Carbs.
Many people are under the misconception they need to cut out carbohydrates when trying to lose fat. The truth is, carbohydrates play a vital role in muscle recovery and if you cut them out of your diet you will hinder your fat loss and muscle building capabilities.
A high carbohydrate diet is not recommended or necessary, however, specific selection and timing of carbohydrates is essential for maximizing your results.
After intense exercise you should consume a high glycemic liquid carbohydrate source to replenish glycogen stores and facilitate greater nutrient uptake. This specific post-workout carbohydrate timing is especially effective when combined with 100% hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate like VP2 whey isolate from AST Sports Science because the high GI carbs will satisfy the body's energy demands allowing the Whey Protein Isolate to go directly towards muscle support. This is important for those trying to lose fat because the more muscle you can build and maintain while dieting, the higher your resting metabolic rate will be.
You also want to add some high GI carbs to the meals that fall within 3 hours after your workout. This is an important 3 hour window where nutrient uptake capabilities are at their highest.
As I've said before, don't fear carbohydrates rather understand their GI rating and time them accordingly. You should consume most of your carbohydrates and calories within the 3 hour post workout window.
Believe. Achieve.

Thank you for all of your valuable advice!ReplyDelete
Just one question: If you have full or mostly full glycogen storages because of the high GI carbs PWO, then your body would never go into ketosis. Have you ever tried ketogenic dieting and what are your thoughts?
Also, do you ever do carb cycling between days?
Thank you very much!
Sean G.
No, I have not tried that method. I prefer the consistant approach of steady nutrient intake with smart ratios/timing that is the common thread in all of my writing/coaching.
I also don't do specific carb cycling. Carbs are naturally lower on non training days with the removal of pre and post workout drinks/meals.

Released October 6, 1989- Super Hang On
Super Hang-On raced into the Japanese market on this day in 89′. For the Sega Mega Drive!
Super Hang-On is the sequel to the successful game on the Sega Master System, HangOn.
While Hang-On was successful mostly because it was packed in with thousands of Master System consoles, it gave gamers a taste of what to expect from Sega in the coming years.
The game plays much the same as the original, you ride a motorcycle through a series of courses while avoiding other racers and hazards along the way. However, there are some key differences. In this one, players are given a choice between four courses. Additionally, this one has a turbo feature. Upon reaching the top speed of 280km/h, a turbo button is enabled. Pressing it will allow the bike to reach a speed of 320 km/h. Which is absolutely dizzying.
The game is played in 2d and from a back on perspective. So the courses don't tilt along with the turns of the bike. Moreover, other racers on the tracks aren't really important. You're not technically racing them, like in other games of this type. They can be considered hazards. Because when you hit one, you lose control of the bike and your top speed will go way down until you can hit it once again.
Super Hang-On was definitely another very successful entry into the short-lived series. However, Sega released it on multiple systems. Including a short release on the arcade known as "Limited Edition Hang-On" and featured a full-size bike players will ride on and steer with. Which made for some even more interesting gameplay.
Personally, Super Hang-On is one of my favorite "Racing" games of the 16-bit era. What did you think of it? Let us know in the comments down below!
