I've been struggling to find a good mascara. Something that is noticeable, easy to wash off and doesn't flake or clump. This mascara applies smoothe and with a few coats it's nice and noticeable however once it dries it makes the lashes look like spider legs, and clumps. Not worth 11CAD. I wouldn't repurchase

Years ago, perhaps 8 years ago, I tried this and really liked it. Granted, back then we didn't know any better. Recently, I tried this assuming it was still a good mascara and they possibly upgraded the quality. Also, to be quite honest, I love thick wands. Well, after multiple attempts, I figured out this doesn't hold a candle to a lot of other drugstore or high end products. Back to Maybelline Sensual and MAC 3D Dimension until a true HG is found.

I actually loved the way this made my lashes look. I did not, however, like the weird film it left on my contacts. I'm very careful about how I apply eye makeup and yet, everytime I wore this, my contacts would get weirdly dirty. Wouldn't repurchase. Makes me sad because this really made my lashes look like falsies!

Well, I spent about three hours looking up reviews for drugstore mascara here as well as looking at YouTube videos ...what a waste of time. I appreciate honest reviews, so here is mine. I bought four L'Oréal Mascaras since they were 40% off, just to see if spending on Lancôme was worth it. This particular mascara got in my eye with normal application, one coat. I wear contacts so I am very careful with eye makeup, I was not wearing my contacts at the time of application. The first coat left my eye feeling irritated and soon turned red and burning like an eye infection. I have never had this experience with any mascara ever. I have been wearing makeup since 14 and I'm 44. Maybe I got a bad batch but I am stumped and feel ripped off. Very disappointed as this is one of four L'Oréal mascaras I tried. They all are horrible. I will be using Lancôme always. I know if I don't like it I can take it back, Lancôme, not with this purchase, or the other three. What a shame, or shame on me for being cheap. Beware, this product should be recalled.

This mascara is good if your into really wet, spidery lashes. I have a hard time working with this formula as it is very wet and I get it everywhere. I does set however, and did not experience any smudging. The brush is enormous and you don't have a lot of control with this wand. You quickly get the product on the lashes, I just prefer a more controlled application than this can give me.
You do get very voluminous and long lashes, just a tad clumpy.

I have been using this mascara for years. I keep trying other mascaras, mainly high end, but I keep coming back to this one. It's not flakey and only clumps a little when coming to the end of the bottle. I use this with the Lancome primer and benefit roller lash on top. I always have success with this look.

My recently discovered holy grail mascara. I had decided to take the plunge and buy higher end mascara. Both benefit's "It's real" and Too Faced "better than sex" were decent, but they smudged on me! That's one of my biggest pet peeves so I returned both since it wasn't worth it especially for the price. The L'oreal extra volume collagen beat out both along with its drugstore price point. It has a big fluffy brush that coats all my lashes w great volume and length to give it that fluffy look that I love from ardell demi wispies. I've only layered two coats on but it does so pretty well with no clumpiness. Best of all is that it barely smudges or flakes, only at the very end of the day and it comes off very easily in the shower. Other than that, it looks great all day!

I can't say I normally just flat out dislike everything about a product, but this mascara was sooooo horrible to me. I bought it on a whim since I normally like Loreal products, but I really wish I would have looked it up first now.
It did not give me any noticeable volume. I had to clump it on and it just looked bad. Though it doesn't claim to give length, most mascaras give at least something. This one added literally zero length though. Even after curling my lashes, they fell flat and did so immediately! It was like less than 5 minutes after applying. I don't know how a mascara fails so hard, but this one is just awful to me.

I like the fattie brush...I am a sucker for those. But this mascara runs on me. Even on hot days when it is not TOO brutal, I always have mascara travel smudges under my eyes, and I dont appreciate it. It is too bad because I love the brush, but the formula just doesnt work for me. I still use it occasionally on weekend days/running errands, because it does plump your lashes quickly with a nice coat; just have to make sure I am not going to put it at risk for melting.

This is one of my favourite mascaras.
The plush brush allows you to cake on the mascara for a false lash look.
With a lot of mascaras on the market, I find that they either focus on volumizing, lengthening, or definition.
This one magically accomplishes all three tasks at once.
I will be purchasing again for its Trifecta of Lash POWER

I am really puzzled about how parents discipline their children these days. While shopping in a country store recently, I noticed a childs bench on which were painted the words "Time Out". How clever, I thought. A child can now have an ever present reminder that, if he does something wrong, the bench is right there waiting for him - a little like seeing the horse whip hanging on the barn wall years ago. (The whip, at least, was originally designed for a different purpose.) Where would be the appropriate place to put such a bench, I wondered. In the corner of a little used room? In front of the TV? Would a child ever voluntarily sit on an object that was his tool of punishment?
Things seemed so much simpler when I was young and even when I was raising my own kids. Discipline came swiftly and surely then, and we pretty much knew what it would be. The proverbial potchon the tush. The "no dessert for a week," and, for less serious offenses, "go to your room."
Nowadays before kids experience the consequences of their behavior, (no longer referred to as punishment), parents must choose exactly the right words with which to pronounce sentence - words that wont damage their egos or cause them to seek counseling at some future date. Most offspring willingly accept the consequence of banishment to their rooms. And why not? In their rooms (which parents never clean for fear of "intruding in their space") they have their choice of watching television, playing their favorite cds or logging onto the internet. As I said, I dont understand todays methods of discipline. All I know is that I wish I had been born a whole lot later than I was.

Italy Seed market size, market segmentations by open pollinated and hybrid seeds, by crop type (durum wheat, common wheat, barley, rice, maize, sunflower, soybean, sugar beet, potato, ryegrass, clover seeds), by market source (domestic production and imports) and by market structure (organized and unorganized market). The report also covers market in different aspects such as trends and developments, issues and challenges, SWOT analysis, trade scenario, regulatory scenario, market share of major seed producers, company profiles of major seed producers (DuPont Pioneer, Syngenta, Bayer and Monsanto, Rijk Zwaan, Anseme Seeds, Gourmet Seeds, Suba Seeds and SAIS) in seed market. The report provides detailed overview on future outlook & projections with analyst recommendations for the industry.
- Seed market in Italy has been supported by increase in production, consumption and export of cereal food products and progressive policies adopted by the government for the development of agricultural sector.
- The rise in demand for organic food products, R&D programmes for breeding newer varieties of seeds and growth of indigenous seed companies will lead the growth of the Italian seed market in the upcoming years.
The seed market in Italy is small in comparison to its European counterpart countries and is mainly dependant on imports. Current size of seeds industry in the country, does not justify the potential Italy has in terms of production capacity. Favourable climatic conditions, good infrastructure and progressive government policies make Italy a country with exponential growth opportunities. The seed market in Italy has a huge room to grow and reach its maximum potential. The market is expected to substantially grow in future due to a number of reasons. The primary reason that is expected to fuel the growth of the seed market is the initiatives made to promote and fund research and breeding programmes for newer varieties of seeds by the government and seed companies. These initiatives will lead to the overall development of the seed industry in the country. Owing to such programmes, export of seeds is also likely to increase. This will change the overall image of Italy from a seed producing country to a country that is on the forefronts of research and innovation in the seed industry.
Organic farming is another sector that has a huge growth potential in the country. The trend for consumption of organically produced food products is growing at a very fast pace in the country. This trend has led to an increase in the number of organic farms in the country and subsequently growth in consumption of seeds. This trend is likely to continue in the future and augment the seed market in the country. Associations like Assosementi are working hard to develop channels and methods so to that everyone involved in the seed business in the country is benefitted. Such initiatives will lead to overall development of the seed industry.
Ken Research in its latest study, Italy Seed Market by Technology Type (Open Pollinated and Hybrid Seeds) by Crop Type (Durum Wheat, Common Wheat, Barley, Rice, Maize, Sunflower, Soybean, Sugar beet, Potato, Ryegrass, Clover Seeds) – Outlook to 2022, suggests that the seed market in the Italy will grow at a substantial rate owing to increase in production and export of cereal food products, increase in number of organic farms and R&D programmes initiated by companies for breeding newer varieties of seeds.

A breath of fresh air: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines updated
In an increasingly online world, financial service providers are tasked with ensuring that their websites can be accessed by all people—regardless of cognitive or physical capabilities. The risks of failure include defense of fair lending claims, given that access to credit (through the internet) should not be denied based on disability. Until the DOJ issues a statement to the contrary, companies avoiding liability and unwanted litigation should aim to fall within the W3C's guidelines as closely as possible.
To the relief of many, this goal may be more clearly attainable in the wake of the most recent update on June 5, 2018. The W3C issued WCAG 2.1, an updated set of guidelines that builds upon previously established rules and bolsters the organization's internet accessibility efforts.

Amended Military Lending Act goes into effect on October 3; CFPB releases updated exam procedures
Today, September 30, 2016, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) identified the updated exam procedures it will use to audit lenders who do business with military personnel. According to CFPB Director Richard Cordray, "[t]he updated exam procedures…will help ensure that servicemembers and their families are dealt with in a fair and safe manner when attempting to access credit." Specifically, the requirements prohibit interest rates above 36 percent MAPR, mandatory waivers of consumer protection laws and mandatory allotments.
In its press release, the CFPB vows to strictly monitor financial institutions, their compliance programs and their "overall efforts to follow the rule's requirements." Evaluating everything from staff training to loan implementation, the CFPB will use the new rules to prevent substantial consumer harm. The updated Military Lending Act rules go into effect on October 3 for creditors. Credit card companies must be prepared to comply with the new rules by October 3, 2017.
Pawnbrokers make up a segment of the financial services industry that will be affected by these new rules under the Military Lending Act. Attorney, Jackie Mallett recently hosted a webinar discussing the amended rules and how they will affect the pawn industry. View the webinar in its entirety here.

Ohio DFI issues data security guidelines
In response to increased financial fraud issues, the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (DFI) recently issued data security guidelines. While the DFI specifically addressed debit card issues, its language indicates expectations for all institutions, requiring active steps to implement data security measures.
The DFI emphasized the following obligations:
- Daily review of security-related issues
- Email security and encryption
- Timely review of security and activity reports
- Suspicious activity report (SAR) training
- Standardized security controls
- After hours mechanisms to control suspicious activity
At its Ohio Banker's Day on March 31, 2016, the DFI spent considerable time discussing financial fraud. It is apparent that further guidelines and bulletins will be forthcoming and will apply to all consumer-related activity, including lending. In light of its supervisory bulletin, verbal statements and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's recent order in Dwolla, it is expected that data security will be a priority item in any future Ohio financial institution examinations.

In prehistory, the area we now call Springfield Township was beach front property on an expanded lake due to the flow of water being blocked in the Niagara Falls area. Sediment from that time is still seen in the sand and clay soil of the whole region called the "Black Swamp" or "Oak Openings."
The Ottawa, Chippewa, Wyandot and other tribes used it as hunting grounds, but avoided staying in the area for too long because of the wetness and sickness that came with it. The sand bogs and swamps became a habitat for many plants – orchids and prickly pear cactus, cranberries, strawberries and other ground fruit.

Grant Fedinshan, Dayton, OH resident and local idiot has legally changed his name to "Apple i. Pod".
"I'm a big fan of the iPod. I also thought it would be a great icebreaker at parties and a great way to meet chicks," said Mr. Pod, who dresses in all-white outfits including a t-shirt with an image of the digital audio device on the front. "I had no idea of the trouble I'd gotten myself into."
When Apple president and CEO Steve Jobs was informed of the incident, he immediately dispatched a detachment of Apple iTroops to track down and detain Mr. Pod.
"One day I'm skipping down the street, listening to 'The Carpenters' Greatest Hits' on my iPod, and the next thing I know a white van with the Apple logo on the side pulls up next to me and three goons pull me inside and speed off," Mr. Pod said, tearing up. "I was told I was in big trouble and was going to meet with 'The Big Apple'."
"The Big Apple" turned out to be Mr. Jobs.
"I was taken into a very brightly-lit white room, stripped naked, and tied to a white translucent chair that glows blue when you sit on it, " recounted Mr. Pod. "I then had electrodes attached to my nipples and scrotum and saw Mr. Jobs enter the room through a sliding door. He was holding some sort of wireless device in his hand."
After three hours of electric torture, during which Mr. Jobs said absolutely nothing, but uttered an eerie, guttural laugh every few minutes, Mr. Pod was told he would "be allowed" to keep his new name, but would be subject to a licensing fee of 25% of his income annually.
"I guess I'd better go find a job...and fast," sobbed Mr. Pod. "My nutsack still burns. It...burns..."
He then trailed off and his eyes glazed over, at which point he curled up in the fetal position on the floor shaking uncontrollably.

I had to wait for my dead MBP to reach apple before they would order me a new one, then wait for it to be bult (CTO -160g HDD), then wait for shipping. I realise all electronic appliances have a % that arrive DOA. I dont want to get into that - that's what the C2D MBP QC thread is about. What I want to know is, do I have any chance of getting apple to sweeten the deal for me? (they have after all delivered me a faulty computer and wasted a lot of my time). Has anyone had any success getting priority shipping? an upgrade of any sort? anything thrown in to the deal at all? what if my next one is also DOA or has "issues"?

Working Papers
A Delegation-based Theory of Expertise (Job Market Paper, with Attila Ambrus and Aaron Kolb) Supplementary Appendix
Abstract: We investigate competition in a delegation framework. An uninformed principal is unable to perform a task herself and must choose between one of two experts to do the job. The experts, who are biased and imperfectly informed, propose action choices simultaneously. In equilibrium experts may exaggerate their biases, taking into account the expected information content of the rival's proposal and the fact that the principal's optimal choice serves to offset this exaggeration – similar to bidders reacting to the winner's curse phenomenon in common value auctions. We show that having a second expert can benefit the principal, even if the two experts have the same biases or if the first expert is known to be unbiased. In contrast with other models of expertise, in our setting the principal prefers experts with equal rather than opposite biases. The principal may also benefit from commitment to an "element of surprise," making an ex post suboptimal choice with positive probability.
Soliciting Information from Biased Experts (with Attila Ambrus)
Optimal Auctions with Ex-post Verification and Limited Punishments (with Sergii Golovko)
Abstract: In this paper, we consider an auction environment in which after the sale, the seller has the opportunity to verify the winner's ex-post value and impose a limited punishment for "underbidding." Investigating how the seller should approach this opportunity, we show that even small penalties allow the seller to significantly increase her revenue. In our environment, the first-price auction with an optimally chosen penalty rule is optimal among all winner-pay auctions. Before the auction begins, the seller recommends a bidding strategy to the bidders. If the auction winner bids at least as much as the seller has suggested, the winner is not punished; if, on the other hand, the winner does not bid as much as has been recommended, he is punished, with the penalty increasing as the buyer deviates more and more from the recommendation. Our results indicate several qualitative differences from standard (without ex-post punishments) auctions. In equilibrium, buyers bid more aggressively; the optimal reserve price is lower; and the revenue-equivalence principle does not hold—we state conditions under which a first-price auction is superior to a second-price auction. Our results also lead us to suggest the following recommendation for policymakers: A government may increase its revenue when auctioning publicly owned assets by providing tax concessions to buyers who submit sufficiently high bids.

24 Aug
Today's theme of FAMILY should be an easy one. Thank goodness, because it's almost 11pm and my alarm is set for 4:45am, with 17.9 miles on the agenda for tomorrow. I'll just round that up to 18 miles…
FAMILY has always meant two things to me: the family you are born to, and the family that surrounds you.
I have an awesome family, with awesome parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. We are a little intense at times, a little off-the-wall a lot of the time, but always, always filled with love. Throw in my husband, children and in-laws, and my family is complete. I have no doubt, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, we will overcome any challenge.
The family that surrounds me is just as important, sometimes just as off-the-wall, and definitely filled with love.
These families take many forms: my Notre Dame family, my St. Anne's family, my tribe of moms-who-keep-me-sane family, my Xavier family when I was there and my swimming family, and now my pilgrim family.
12 days ago, I met the 31 other pilgrims who would become the core group on the ND Trail. We are a diverse group: in age, in reasons for walking, in relationship to the University; we are also at different places on our spiritual journey and hail from different parts of the country. Some of us are sore, most of us have blisters, all of us are tired; but the one thing we have in common – without exception – is our gratitude for being on the Trail.
One core pilgrim asked me today if I had 2nd thoughts about having done the Trail. "No way," came out of my mouth pretty quickly. We then asked a few others and were met with the same exact response.
We have learned along the way that friends and family think we are crazy for doing this; and perhaps we are. But it has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. And while I miss my family at home, I am at home with my new family.

I love finding old things, fixing them up to make them beautiful and useful again! I'm also one of those people that can't throw out anything because I want to "eventually" turn it into something really cool. Shabby chic/ Cottage/ vintage is my style.
I used to work in the interior/architectural fields and decided to go out on my own, use my creative skills and be ale to spend more time with my kids. I opened my own brick & mortar shop in Phoenixville PA in October 2014 which revolves around refinished, repurposed and handmade décor and gift items. Do you have a piece of old furniture you love, but needs some TLC? Call me to refinish it! Are you seeing things on Pintrest that you would love for your home? Send it to me and I'll make a custom piece for you!
Stop by the shop and you'll probably find me in my paint spattered clothes while my three kids are busy making their own creative pieces, as they like to set up their own little sale table out front on sunny weekends.
With the help of Anne Dale - photographer, artist and fellow "Junk Beautifier", The Design Grove continues to grow with creative & new items for sale.

What Happens In Vienna…
On 24, Jul 2013 | No Comments | In Austria, Travel | By kanannie
We left Bratislava on a stinking hot day and boarded a hydrofoil for Vienna, Austria. This was my second hydrofoil ride and I must say that these things are great. I get terribly seasick on most forms of watercraft, but not on these fascinating hydrofoil contraptions. I must get me one of these someday.

Should you really wait 1 hour to swim after eating?
We've all heard of medical myths like "If you swallow gum, it will stay in your stomach for seven years," or "If you go outside with wet hair, you'll get a cold."
But what about this one we recently received from a viewer:
Hey Dr. Manny,
Is it true that you should wait an hour after eating before you go swimming?
James in N.Y.
Caution is a good thing when it comes to kids because drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for infants and children nationwide. But while there is some truth to the theory behind this urban legend, the 60-minute wait time may not be necessary.
The digestive process does divert your blood flow towards your stomach and away from your muscles, however during physical activity, the heart pumps blood to the muscles, so the flow to the stomach may be reduced.
The theory behind the 60-minute wait time is that without sufficient blood supply, the stomach muscles can cramp due to lack of oxygen, causing a person to drown.
But the good news is there have never been any documented deaths attributed to swimming on a full stomach. In fact, you may be at more risk for a bellyache!
If it happens, get out of the water and rest for a bit!
Do you have a health question? Tweet it to @DrMannyonFox.

Trick or... Trick!!!
It was soooo authentic...
We've been warming the spud up for this for a week. We bought his costume and got him all excited... he informed his girlfriend who immediately requested the same costume from her parents... we had high hopes.
Friday I decided to invite more than just the neighbours and sent around an email and we had a great turnout. We cut the pumpkins, we made the pies, we popped the popcorn, bought the fireworks, decorated the garden and... the spud refused to dress up. Everyone arrived looking fantastic but still, the spud refused to dress up.
He ended up going around the houses with his little bag wearing his wellies, jeans, a big jumper and a witches hat. Actually, it was an excellent Worzel Gummidge costume.
I guess beggars can't be choosers.
The kids seemed to really love it though, they were agog at being offered free sweeties, amazed at the phenomenon of sparklers and garden fireworks and thrilled, mostly, at being able to stay up late and rub popcorn into the spud's carpet.
Next year maybe we'll manage 5 houses and, perhaps, even a costume...

This sounds like last year with Jonathan. He wouldn't get in his costume either. This year he wore the costume, but didn't want to go to the houses. Oh well, it was a nice night for a walk! I wish we had some photos of your little trick-or-treaters! :-)

Yup, my boys talk a good dressing up game but never actually get into the outfit in front of anyone except for me...
I never get the kids in bed for 7.30 - party or not. There is too much jumping on beds to be done. Every night.

We had a rough weekend y'all. We are working around the house trying to get ready for Emmett's 1st birthday party next weekend, so Ray and his parents spent Saturday and Sunday tearing up the nasty ripped carpet from the landing in front of the front door, and then replaced it with hardwoods. You can imagine the dust and destruction, and as always, the project took a lot longer than we'd hoped. I had to keep Emmett out of the house all day, and it was impossible for him to nap at home because of the sawing and hammering. All of that plus the mess that was inevitably created was a tad bit stressful, especially since I have to work all week so I was hoping to clean, organize and decorate for the party over the weekend.
But to be honest, all of that stuff was fine, and even sort of fun. The end result is a huge improvement, and it was really fun being able to spend two afternoons, just Emmett and I, running around and just being together. Such a rare treat!
I know now, after some reflection and a well-deserved stern talking-to from my long-suffering and normally very gentle husband, that the weekend was rough because I made it rough. I had a bad attitude, and let my bad mood affect my family.
Friday evening I read this article about the early weeks with a brand new baby, and it stirred up so many emotions and so many painful things that I have been holding on to all these months. I immediately felt like I was right back in that time, so bogged down with frustration and sadness and all the things I never expected to feel after Emmett was born. That time was hard. I was so in love with my baby boy, but I had to go back to work (from home) 9 days after he was born, so I was recovering and trying to learn how to be a mama and all I wanted to was to hold my brand new baby. Instead I had to work full time and pass little tiny Emmett off to Ray (who had 6 weeks of PAID paternity leave), only getting to cuddle him when it was time to feed him.
I cried every day during those weeks. I felt so robbed of that long awaited, incredibly precious time with my brand new family. It took me a few months to let go of the anger and frustration I was holding on to, and reading that article made me realize that I haven't totally let go at all. So that's how I began our weekend, and it didn't get better until my husband snapped me out of it last night.
So now I know I have to deal with those feelings, process them, and then let them go, for real this time. There's nothing I can do to take back those few weeks, so it's time I move on and stop punishing myself (and my family in turn) with the guilt and anger and frustration that still lingers.
It's time for me to stop worrying about the things in my life that I can't change, and to start appreciating- really appreciating- the things that I do have. My husband, who loves me at my worst. My sweet baby boy, who's growing up so fast. I am so blessed to have them, and I don't want to waste another minute letting stress or discontentment or worry get in the way of peace in my home.
Here's a little video of Emmett walking around the house with a stool, just to lighten the mood:
I know these Keepin' It Real posts are supposed to be light and funny, but this week I just had a lot on my mind. I promise to bring back the short & sweet bad slash real mom post next Monday!
And again, I hope it isn't cheating to link one post to two link-ups, but as this post is about my weekend, I don't feel bad about linking with Annapolis & Company's Our Weekend too. I love that blog so much recently- beautiful photos, honest writing, and a nautical theme. What more could you want in a blog??


text: Saskatchewan has finally dropped their long awaited debut album and it's a gorgeous blast of sweeping dream pop jams, with just the right amount of jangle in the beat to keep the feet moving. There's not a sour note on the album which makes it hard to pick a standout, but "Destroy" is certainly the track that grabbed me first and has demanded the most replays the past 24 hours. The track kicks off with a driving beat and lonely guitar lines, but is soon overflowing with choral sighs, twinkling synths and a dreamy vocal melody that embeds itself into your brain. I've been humming this thing all day long - when i'm not playing it loudly and singing along. It's a fantastic track from a stunning debut album which is now available for streaming and purchase at Bandcamp. Highest recommendation for fans of Wild Nothing, Beach Fossils, and Craft Spells.

The Seacoast-based Halcyon Music Festival will be celebrating its third season this July with a series of seven concerts featuring world-renowned chamber music virtuosos.
Each season Halcyon aims to bring the chamber music world to a broader audience. The festival looks to cultivate new and inspired relationships between the musicians performing and audience members alike.
"Chamber music is unique because you can hear individual voices within the group, but you create this other being, entity from these voices interacting with each other. It's very much like human relationships and conversations. You have to learn to work fluidly with your fellow performer's approach," said Halcyon's founder and Artistic Director, Heng-Jin Park.
The performance repertoire consists of both classic chamber music pieces such as Debussy's String Quartet, Mozart's String Quintet in C Major, and Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings, as well as more contemporary pieces like Bolcom's Three Rags for String Quartet, Schoenfield's Café Music for Piano Trio, and Barber's Adagio.
Four out of the seven performances will take place at St. John's Episcopal Church in Portsmouth with the remaining three taking place in Exeter, Durham and Rye.
The concerts will open with "Bohemian Rhapsody" on Wednesday, July 20th at Phillips Exeter Academy at 7 p.m. This initial performance is a part of the Phillips Exeter Academy Library Summer Concert Series, and is free to the public.
A Boston-based pianist, Park is the pianist and founder of the Boston Trio, and is currently a piano instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She has been a featured soloist with the Boston Pops, Boston Classical Orchestra, Boston Philharmonic, New England Philharmonic and the L'Orchestre Symphonique Française.
Park has participated in countless music festivals and events throughout her life-long involvement with chamber music, but Halcyon is her own personal vision and contribution to the chamber music world.
"I wanted a festival where musicians hailing from all different heritages of playing and styles came together and created a close community," said Park. "Portsmouth is a vibrant city, it has urban edge, but is small and intimate, very European. — I had a feeling that we would be welcome. Over the past seasons, the audience has been so supportive, saying there was nothing like Halcyon in the Seacoast. This confirmed for me that I had made the right decision by bringing the festival to this area."
One of the major proponents of Halcyon's success is Park's thoughtful selection of musicians. She assembles a diverse, but complementary group of professional artists.
"I invite musicians who are not only talented, but flexible, nice people, open to seeing new points of view because, in the end, we need to sound like one cohesive group," said Park. "This is most of all a collaborative effort of highly trained, professional musicians. I look to create a musical oasis where performers can have fun, work together, and share their artistry with the public."
Halcyon is an immersive two-week commitment for the 21 musicians involved. For these two weeks, the musicians eat and sleep at the University of New Hampshire and rehearse at surrounding venues. They are even encouraged to bring their families to stay with them. They come to work in and create an environment that is the "sum of all of its parts."
This year's festival features violinists Miki-Sophia Cloud, Gabriela Diaz, Katherine Manker, Irina Muresanu, Monica Pegis, Ben Sayevich; violists Tatjana Mead Chamis, Chung-Hoon Peter Chun, Tim Deighton, Robert Meyer, and Yizhak Schotten; cellists David Hardy, Brian Manker, and Wendy Warner; pianists Lolita Lisovskaya-Sayevich and Heng-Jin Park; and French hornist Abel Pereira.
"I love the feeling of being like a big family. We play music together, eat together, get together at night, bring our families. We are creating musical friendships as well as personal friendships with fellow performers and the audience. It is the feeling of being a part of something bigger," said Romanian violinist and Boston Trio member Irina Muresanu.
The performers have about three concentrated rehearsal sessions. The amount of time spent practicing depends on the difficulty of the piece. Rehearsals are kept short and to the point, as they need to refine the details of each piece in a timely manner.
"Rehearsing and performing with musicians you do not play with often stretches you. It makes you reexamine your way of thought and approach," said David Hardy, Washington D.C.- based cellist and National Symphony Orchestra musician.
Every year the festival features one or two younger, exceedingly talented musicians. This year, Halcyon will be introducing two cellists, Andrée and Mariel Werner. The two sisters are currently working toward their master's degrees at the Juilliard School in New York City. Park explained that this is a great opportunity for the young featured performers. They are forced to learn a lot in a short amount of time and benefit from working with older, more experienced professional musicians.
Halcyon focuses on building a community of artists that is dedicated to the advancement and exploration of chamber music at the highest artistic level. The performers are professional musicians who continuously look to better themselves as artists and to share their passion for chamber music. This environment enables the musicians to grow and results in a compelling and vibrant performance.
"The joy of playing concerts is the way you connect with the audience. If you play well and with positive energy, the audience will understand your point of view and become invested in the performance," said Hardy.
There is a suggested $25 donation for each individual concert. If attending more than one concert, there are discount options: $130 for the full festival, $110 for five concerts, $88 for four concerts, $65 for three concerts, and $88 for the four Portsmouth concerts.

Wife, mother, full-time Executive Assistant and owner of a wonderful black lab named Jet! I am passionate about baking, music, football and most of all reading! I am an addict 🙂
My favorite author is Stephen King and thus, my favorite genre is horror, but I read many others as well. I love ghost stories, true crime, crime drama, mystery, biographies, and anything remotely scary. I love to be introduced to new authors and will try most any genre. I am not, however, a fan of love stories and do not have much interest in YA.

Track and field is not a contact sport, but Chris Spadaro would spend his fall season getting bumps and bruises as a member of Council Rock South�s boys soccer team instead of running cross country.
�Soccer and track are really two different things when it comes to body movement,� said Spadaro, a senior. �You just move the body differently.
�As soon as our team was done in the soccer playoffs, I was on a track trying to get my body back in shape for track. It took a couple of weeks.�
Spadaro will no longer have to prepare his body for different sports.
In college, he will strictly be a track and field athlete as, last week, he committed to the University of Pittsburgh for track. He will sign his official letter of intent Feb. 6.
The Panthers will have him concentrate on the long jump and triple jump, and he also will take part in sprints.
Spadaro finished second last summer to Wellington Zaza of Great Valley at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals in the triple jump with a personal best of 45 feet, 3 1/4 inch.
He has also come on strong during the indoor track season, something that Pitt noticed.
Spadaro leads the state in the long jump with a best of 23-0.75, and is second to Zaza in the triple jump.
He has also shown his speed by winning the 200-meter dash at the Track & Field Coaches Association of Greater Philadelphia meet last Saturday at Glen Mills.
Spadaro was just as outstanding on the soccer field. As a midfielder for the Golden Hawks this past season, he scored 12 goals and had four assists as a midfielder and was named first-team All-Suburban One League National Conference.
Now that he will be solely on the track team, Spadaro expects to improve in college.
�It�s unfortunate I have to give up soccer, but now I can focus just on track,� he said. �I�ll be able to focus on training for track.�
Spadaro�s final choices were Pitt, Temple and York College.
�I had talked to Pitt a little bit in the summer, but we were in a lot more contact recently, and they said they had a spot for me,� he said. �I made my official visit the weekend of Jan. 18-20 and, the week after I came home, I knew that was where I wanted to go.�
Importantly to Spadaro, the Panthers have a coach specifically for the jumping events.
�Some colleges don�t have jumping coaches,� he said.
Pitt finished third in the Big East Conference track championships last spring.
When Spadaro enters school in the fall, the Panthers will be in a different league, as they are joining the Atlantic Coast Conference. The ACC might be better known for basketball, but it also has many strong track programs.
�Either way, I was in a really tough conference,� said Spadaro. �I�m really excited about it. Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to compete at the Division I college level. Now, I get my opportunity.�

The main break forced the airport to suspend worldwide flight arrivals, adding to the countless delays and cancellations over the past several days, Reuters reported.
The airport's runways and taxiways were fully operational, the port authority said earlier Sunday, but airlines remain in recovery mode after the storm, and many hundreds of passengers are stranded from canceled flights.
It was not immediately clear how many flights were disrupted, and the Port Authority urged passengers to check with their airlines for flight information. While the water main break appeared to be weather-related, Cotton said officials would examine whether "any other failures" contributed to the problem. The flooding took out two thirds of the arrivals area of Terminal 4, including Customs and Immigration processing facility. A social media post from the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD) showed the PAPD's aircraft rescue fire fighter unit responding to the incident, saying the China Southern 777's wing tip struck the tail end of the Kuwait Airways 777, causing damage to both aircraft.
Independent travel correspondent Simon Calder advised those stuck in NY during the storm: "Airlines have a clear and unlimited obligation to provide a hotel room and all meals, as well as transport to and from the airport, until they can get you home".
Around 3:30 p.m., the airport announced via Twitter that worldwide flights into Terminal 4 had been shut down.
JFK had 19 inbound and 39 outbound flights canceled or delayed Monday morning after a weekend of disruptions. But a fresh start was not to be, as a water main busted Sunday, causing flooding in one of JFK's terminals. "It serves as a major global hub for Delta Airlines", the airport website says. Flights later resumed but with delays, it said.
In a statement, Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton called the situation at the airport "unacceptable".
In addition, those who were able to get off their planes were faced with long waits for baggage, like that faced by Merrill-for some, those bags never came, and they left empty-handed after waiting for hours. Such an investigation must encompass a broad look at Port Authority and airport policies and procedures before, during and after hazardous weather, and it must result in a public report with detailed recommendations.
"I'm so angry words can't even express how I feel right now", Bill Carver, a traveler from Austin, Texas, told CBS New York. The disruption occurred while the U.S. Northeast continued to endure bone-chilling weather with the NY temperature at 17 degrees Fahrenheit (-8 Celsius).

GAEA 10 Megapixel Phase Only Spatial Light Modulator (Reflective)
The GAEA phase only Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) consists of a driver unit with standard digital video interface (HDMI) and a phase only LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) microdisplay with 10 megapixel (4K) resolution (4094 x 2464 pixel) and 3.74 µm pixel pitch leading to an active area diagonal of 0.7".
The GAEA SLM is a plug & play phase modulator device and can be addressed with phase functions via standard graphics cards as extended monitor device. 8 bit gray level patterns (= 8 bit phase levels) can be addressed. The used graphics card must be able to provide an uncompressed output of at least 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution. Addressing can easily be done using the supplied Pattern Generator software or the SLM Slideshow Player software or standard image viewer software.
The very small pixel size of the GAEA SLM display enables high diffraction angles

text: How To Macs Back Up or Copy Your iPod Music to Your Mac That Syncing Feeling Share Pin Email Print Macs Guides & Tutorials Basics Installing & Upgrading Tips & Tricks Key Concepts by Tom Nelson Tom Nelson has written hundreds of articles, tutorials, and reviews for Other World Computing and About.com. He is the president of Coyote Moon, Inc. Updated March 22, 2017 Copying music and video files from your iPod to your Mac can be a bit harder than you may think. Follow the wrong process and you can easily find all your iPod files have been deleted; gone for good. This happens because iTunes will try to sync with your iPod when it's attached, ensuring your iPod matches the contents of your iTunes library. If your iTunes library is empty or missing some music, the sync process will make sure the iPod matches by deleting tunes. But with a little bit of careful planning, you can copy all of the multimedia files off your iPod and onto your Mac. If you use iTunes as your primary method of collecting, listening, and storing music you need to have a good backup method in place in case something unforeseen event strikes your Mac and renders your iTunes library unusable. A good backup strategy is what is needed. But instead of telling you what you should have done, this guide offers some emergency methods for recovering your music library. Once you have successfully recovered your music, be sure and set up a good backup system. I have included a backup guide within this list of emergency recovery methods. Copy iPod Music to Your Mac Using OS X Lion and iTunes 10 Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News/Getty Images If you're using OS X Lion and iTunes 10 or later, this guide provides the step-by-step instructions you need to copy all of your iPod's media files to your Mac. From there, the guide also shows you how to import the files back into the iTunes library on your Mac, preserving all of the ID3 tags. You don't need any third-party software, just a little spare time. How to Copy iPod Music to Your Mac With iTunes 9.x Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News/Getty Images If you use iTunes 9.x or later, you can follow these instructions to successfully copy the files from your iPod to your Mac without any loss of data. This procedure will work for music purchased from the iTunes Store, as well as music you have added yourself. How to Transfer Purchased Content From Your iPod to Your Mac Your iPod probably contains all your iTunes library data. Justin Sullivan/Staff/Getty Images Starting with iTunes 7.3, Apple incorporated a way to transfer purchased content from an iPod back to an iTunes library. This is a handy and relatively easy way to transfer your music, but it only works for music you purchase from the iTunes Store. If you have music from sources other than the iTunes Store on your iPod, you should use one of the other iPod to Mac guides. Copy Tunes From Your iPod to Your Mac Using iTunes 8.x or Earlier Photo Credit: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News/Getty Images This guide to copying your iPod music to your Mac is for iTunes 8.x or earlier. Using the process outlined here, you can transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store, as well as music you have added from other sources. Back Up iTunes on Your Mac Screen shot courtesy of Coyote Moon, Inc. We have talked about copying your music from your iPod to your Mac as a method of last resort to retrieve your music library should some disaster befall your Mac or iTunes. But you should not be relying on your iPod as your primary backup medium, at least not as the first line of defense. Instead, you should actively be performing backups of your iTunes library. You can use Time Machine for this purpose or you can perform a direct backup using the technique outlined in this guide. Carbon Copy Cloner 4: Tom's Mac Software Pick Courtesy of Bonbich Software Time Machine does a great job of creating automated backups of your important Mac files. But it's no the only solution to backing up your Mac's data, including your important iTunes media libraries. Carbon Copy Cloner from Bonbich Software is a cloning and backup app that can create identical copies of your Mac's startup drive. So exact that you can use them as an alternate way to boot your Mac, should the need ever arise. And while Carbon Copy Cloner is usually used as a simple cloning application, its versatility makes it a good choice for specific backup jobs, such as making sure your iTunes library is safely backup up to another drive. How to Transfer Your iTunes Library to Another Computer Justin Sullivan | Getty Images In this article, Sam Costello looks at various options for moving an iTunes Library. Sam covers methods that include third-party software that can make the transfer process easier. Continue Reading

This is the most subdued tartan pattern. The challenge in 15mm is to make the pattern visible without making it too bright. I hope I kept to a happy medium here.
Glenn wanted his highlanders to be grenadiers, so I had a bunch of shoulder wings to paint.
Many of the figures had very fragile bayonet joins. I strengthened where I could, but I ended up having to replace over a dozen out of 60 castings.
As always the flags are from GMB and are correct for each regiment. This is my second time painting this regiment in 15mm. I have it in my own army too.
Family tradition has it that an ancestor fought in the Hundred Days campaign. I have no idea if that's correct or not, but the 79th Foot had several MacPhees (with the original "McPhee" spelling, check out pp. 65-80).
Grenadier Company: Private John McPhee (wounded)
I Company: Lieutenant Donald McPhee (wounded)
II Company: Ensign McPhee
VIII Company: Private Donald McPhee (wounded)
So it looks as though the MacPhees fought (and bled) at Waterloo, or more likely at Quatre Bras. I will admit that I lavished a little extra attention on this regiment, trying very hard to get the tartans just right.
This is certainly the most colorful of the Highland regiments at Waterloo. The bright tartan and the yellow facings really jump out at the viewer. This is my second attempt at painting the Gordon tartan, but my first in 15mm.
I am working on the British and Hanoverian light infantry now. When they are done, I will be finished with the British infantry.

Employment Claims And Damages
When an employee's workplace rights have been violated, such as cases involving discrimination, he or she has the legal right to file a claim with the New Mexico Human Rights Division (HRD) or Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. After the claim has been investigated, both parties will be given the opportunity to participate in a mediation to resolve the dispute. The employee can also file a lawsuit. If the court rules in favor of the employee, the employer can be ordered to reinstate the employee or, if the position has already been filled, compensate the employee for any lost wages. In a case involving the violation of federal laws, the employee must file a claim before a lawsuit can be initiated.
Certain types of employment lawsuits can also result in punitive damages, which is a type of compensation that is intended both as a punishment and to set an example to others. Punitive damages may be awarded when the court considers the employer's harmful and illegal acts were intentional and committed with malice or reckless indifference. If an employee has filed a claim or lawsuit, it is strongly advised that you contact an experienced attorney to discuss the case, to get better informed as to your rights and legal options.
Dedicated Legal Assistance
Our firm, Moody & Stanford, specializes in employment law and can assist you in any case involving an employee claim, including:
- Workplace discrimination
- Sexual harassment
- FMLA violations
- Unpaid wages
- Wrongful termination
We have successfully represented many employers in employment disputes and can help map out a strategy to dispute the allegations.
Abercrombie & Fitch Hiring Practices
New Mexico Employment Lawyer Handling Discrimination Claims
Abercrombie & Fitch is a multibillion-dollar apparel retailer that targets teenage and college-age shoppers. Youth are a major focus of this company. In fact, the retailer's CEO has even made statements that have indicated Abercrombie & Fitch's focus on youth throughout every facet of the business operation. While it is perfectly fine for a company to know what type of audience it is targeting, it is not OK when that company starts discriminating against job applicants or employees simply because they do not have a certain image, whether that is a "youthful" image or some other type of image.
Abercrombie & Fitch has actually been sued on multiple occasions for alleged employment discrimination, including age discrimination, race discrimination and even religious discrimination. Our New Mexico employment law attorneys at Moody & Stanford are investigating the retail chain's hiring practices — both at the store level and at the corporate level — in order to uncover any policies or actions that involve age discrimination. If you are age 40 or older and have been either unfairly denied a job at Abercrombie & Fitch or unfairly terminated from the company, we want to hear your story! If you have any type of information regarding Abercrombie & Fitch's hiring practices, we encourage you to speak with our employment law firm.
Abercrombie & Fitch's History Of Discrimination Lawsuits
In one of Abercrombie & Fitch's class-action lawsuits, the retailer was sued by thousands of plaintiffs in 2003 for allegedly discriminating against Latinos, African-Americans and Asian-Americans in its hiring and employment practices. As a result of the lawsuit, the company reached a settlement in 2004 in which it agreed to hire a vice president for diversity and diversity recruiters, as reported by The New York Times. The company also agreed to pay $40 million to the plaintiffs.
There are also many other lawsuits that have occurred in recent years. In one case, a 55-year-old former pilot of the clothing company's corporate jet sued Abercrombie & Fitch, claiming that he was terminated because of his age, according to ABC News. Another lawsuit sought damages for two Muslim women who said they were discriminated against because they were not willing to take off their hijabs, or head scarves, during work. That lawsuit was settled in 2013, with the company paying the women monetary damages and agreeing to change its policies regarding hijabs and religious accommodations, according to The Guardian.
Don't Accept Discrimination. Take Action!
No one should have to be denied a job or treated unfairly at work simply because of his or her age, gender, religion, race, etc. If you are the victim of employment discrimination committed by Abercrombie & Fitch or any other employer, you need to take action to put a stop to this unjustifiable behavior and to seek compensation for the hardship you suffered. Contact us so we can help you fight for justice!
