Intel HD Graphics 4000 is very old and backdated. But do not let this fact make you underestimate the power of this integrated GPU by Intel. This Graphics card can handle an enormous amount of power and multi-tasking. Many laptop manufacturers like Dell and Lenovo have installed this GPU in many of their series. For example, most of the Dell INSPIRON series have integrated graphics installed.
For playing games in 2019, one needs good gaming requirements. This is because most of the games are having a vast amount of detailed graphics. To play these games properly and render the graphics and play smoothly, one needs a lot of RAM (even 8GB of RAM is insufficient in 2019) and a good GPU. But for our case, we are stuck with our Intel HD Graphics 4000. So, how will we manage? It's SIMPLE, just read along.
Update and Tweak your Intel HD Graphics 4000 for Performance
We all know that Intel has already stopped updating these drivers, still if you want to check if you have any updates follow the steps below –
Go to your Device Manager -> Display Adapters -> Intel HD Graphics 4000
Under the Driver Tab, click on update drivers and then on automatically search for drivers which will make windows search your latest Intel HD 4000 drivers online.
After you have completed updating your drivers, open your Intel HD Graphics Control Panel by right clicking your mouse on the desktop and clicking on graphics properties.
Go to 3D settings and change to maximum performance and enable optimal mode.
Go back and click on Power setting and enable maximum performance on both cases.
These were the basic tweaks to slightly increase your Performance of Intel HD Graphics 4000 for Gaming in 2019.
Adjust your GAME Settings
Some Gamers need beautiful graphics for playing and some just want to play the game. for those Gamers who just want to play the game without lagging, try changing all the in-game settings to lowest or medium. Try changing the screen resolution to 800 X 600 or the lowest possible and change every value to low. These can slightly increase your FPS.
The Ultimate Tip: Use modded drivers for Intel HD Graphics 4000 !!!!
Since INTEL does not provide any updates. You can try installing a modded driver.
What is Modding?
According to Wikipedia: Modding refers to the act of modifying hardware, software, or virtually anything else, to perform a function not originally conceived or intended by the designer, or achieve a bespoke specification.
Why I referred to modded drivers?
I use the modded Drivers and believe me it worked massively for me. You can search for a video of modded drivers game-play and see the difference with your own eyes.
Here is the link for the modded Intel HD Graphics 4000: http://worldintelmoddriver.blogspot.com/p/hd-4000.html
But if you are afraid to install because of viruses or other issues, I would suggest not using the modded drivers. But if you are desperate especially like me, go for it because gaming is in our blood after all.
Try Mods for Games to disable shadows and increase FPS.
Shadows make things look more beautiful but eat up a lot of memory. Try using a mod for the particular game to disable shadows and you can find surprising benefits. Also, you can find FPS Boost for the game to help you with it.
Also backup your game folder before installing any mods.
Other tweaks to increase performance for Intel HD Graphics 4000
Increase your SYSTEM RAM. More RAM = MORE SMOOTH GAME-PLAY
Try using Solid-State Drive (SSD)
Try UBUNTU. You can play windows games on UBUNTU using WINE and other system apps. Also, Ubuntu is more secure.
So that's it, guys. This was the basic information on how to tweak Intel HD Graphics 4000 for Performance. Do not expect to run GTA V or The Witcher 3 on ultra setting. Try these steps because it worked for many. I will soon make a post about games that I played smoothly on Intel HD Graphics 4000. Check back later. Thank you.

They say a hair transformation can change your life. Probably that is why after every breakup comes a haircut. Lily Collins thinks the same. Not the breakup part, but the hair-can-change-your-life-part. Because the love Rosie star just debuted a shocking hair change and captioned her picture, "Not sure if it's the blonde or this city, but I really am having more fun…"
Lily keeps changing the length of her hair from long and wavy to bobs and pixie cuts. But when it comes to her hair color, the furthermost her brown locks have ever veered is in the fiery red direction. Though the actress keeps experimenting with makeup, being the face of Lancome and all, there are two things that remain more or less the same; her deep brown mane and her bushy eyebrows. This time around though she has switched her signature brown to blonde.
In the picture, she posted on Instagram, Lily has little to no makeup and her cute face is surrounded by pale blonde locks with dark roots. Her brows? Thankfully still the same. Fans are of course surprised. But they are also loving this change! One commented, "Your almost unrecognizable. But it suits you. You rock every color I've seen on you. Beautiful 😊"
We couldn't agree more. Remember when Lily had dyed her hair red and made a style statement? She never fails to do her hair color justice. But not all her fans are impressed. There are several who don't like this change. One of them said, "Nooooo please just brown 😭😭"
Lily Collins isn't the first actress who has taken the step to cross from brunette territory to a way lighter shade. Previously we saw Ariana Grande paint her dark brown hair to grey. Then just recently, Selena Gomez also ditched her chestnut mane for a pale blonde head. Looks like this is the season of embracing mega hair transformations.

Jackie Daniels
34 min of video
Jackie Daniels is young, cute and very sexy, but she is a lazy teen whore. It took her for ever to get down and start sucking dick. I knew we were in for a long day when she could not chose whose cock to suck first! After a while she got the hint that any dick will do to start off this scene. It seems that blow jobs made her horny, so she enjoyed getting her pussy pounded. She really looked cute smiling while she was getting her pussy drilled. However, this brought on another problem, Jackie had a problem multi-tasking. She found it hard to suck and fuck at the same time. But we worked through all her problems and she got her face pasted with cum. This was the best part of the scene, Jackie covered in cum and smiling as the jizz just dripped off her face.

City's just a jungle; more games to play
Trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away
I was raised in the country,
I been workin' in the town
I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down
~ Bob Dylan
I don't typically take pictures of cars. Mostly, because I don't know how
to get a good shot of one.
But, this car.
It was a beauty.
Confirmed by the fact that everyone that walked by it - stopped.
Walked around it.
And, pulled out their mobile devices to take a shot.
Including us.
I was initially captured by the interesting reflections.
There is even a little selfie in there.
I have no tips to provide on capturing this kind of subject.
I would gladly welcome any thoughts about shooting cars,
and more specifically, reflections on cars.
Keep shooting!
Stay out of trouble...unless it gets you the shot!

What Price Perfection?
And i love it, i've been playing all sorts of christmas music and feel like i go floating by it every time i am in the room...this simple bit of creative expression has set up a wonderful spirit of christmas for me...but here's the thing...
what's the deal with waiting years and years to try a fun idea like this? why put so much pressure on myself that it has to be the coolest, most hip and creative idea or it isn't worth attempting? how many delicious, invovled, intricate, exuberant moments of creation have i stifled because "i wasn't ready yet"? well here's what this feels like for me...i am so happy with this gorgeous bit of frippery that adorns my living room, but i am even more happy that some idea of creation got to take a little test run...
So i invited a bunch of sisters, nieces, grandmas and friends to my house tonight to make gingerbread houses. i planned it last year with one particular niece who L.O.V.E. loves to bake, but we never got around to it. the thing is, we wanted to make these "perfect" martha stewart type houses that only have royal icing, a little silver leafing and homemade gingerbread. as the invite list grew, i grew worried that the other girls would not be happy to have such bald houses and would feel somehow bummed that there was more candy to "pretty up the place". i had this inner battle going on inside of me.."no, it's my party, we'll make the kind of houses i want", "i don't see anyone else offering to host such a thing" , "they will see how beautiful these are when we are done and know it was worth it to do it my way" what a funny self i am...really, why do i care how someone else decorates their house? why do i care how much gorgeous frippery they decide to add over every single inch of the house if they like?
Here's what i hope...that in the true spirit of embracing all the powers of creation during this wonderful season of love and light...that i might allow the space for tiny and large creations of my own, that they may be as insanely flawed as ever, but beautiful all the same; and that my delight in this moment will far outweigh the need for perfection and recognize that the effort of creation is what makes me complete.
hmmmm....see how these lessons come around in this blog here Let Go and Let Guy

BILOXI — Four candidates remain for the jobs of executive director of the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center.
The Coliseum Commission on Thursday whittled the applications down from 18 to four.
The new director will replace Bill Holmes, who is retiring in August.
The names of the four candidates have not been released.
Commission member Mark Mavar told The Sun Herald applicants came from all around the country from California to Connecticut.
"Some of them were out of our price range," he said, "but all of them are very qualified."
The salary wasn't advertised, but Mavar said he expects it will be in line with the $140,000 Holmes is paid.
Mavar said one of the finalists is local and the other three are from California, Texas and Florida.
The commission has offered the final four candidates the opportunity to come to Biloxi at their own expense or meet with them online via Skype, Mavar said. Commissioners Johnny Atherton and Walter Blessey will ask questions submitted by all seven members.
… we'd like to ask for your support. More people are reading the Mississippi Business Journal than ever before, but advertising revenues for all conventional media are falling fast.

Back to My Soil: The last Filipino Farm community in Orosi, California
Tony Robles/PNN
Tuesday, May 27, 2008;
"I had come back to myself and my roots, here in this narrow strip of land. Back to my soil and to my father's faith"
--Carlos Bulosan from "America is in the Heart"
I had the privilege of reading at an East Bay elementary school 2 years ago. It was a multicultural event and I read to the children--children with African faces, Filipino faces, Mexican faces, Laotian faces (beautiful faces), each face a seed of hope, a flower. I read my story--the story of a young Filipino boy named Lakas (The Filipino word meaning "Strength") who organizes his elders to fight their eviction by a greedy landlord.
I walked and came upon the school garden where bright fruits and vegetables bathed in sunlight on a bed of nutrient rich soil. I then came face to face with a sign announcing that the garden had been brought to the school, in part, with the cooperation of Comcast Cable. The clouds hovered overhead, partially covering the sun. I stood in the shadows a few feet away from the corporate logo thinking that nothing is sacred to the corporations -not even an elementary school garden.
People with cultural and spiritual connections to their ancestral lands are on the move locally and globally. Thanks to agreements such as NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement), small farmers are losing their lands and fleeing to the cities in record numbers. These "agreements" eliminate tariffs on imported crops leaving local farmers unable to compete with the multi-billion dollar subsidies of American agribusiness. Indigenous farmers are in resistance around the globe from Mexican corn growers to pig farmers in Haiti.
This global fight is being waged locally in the small community of Orosi, California near Fresno the battle between a Filipina farmer and the local utility intent on seizing her land located in the last remaining Filipino farming community in the United States.
Mary Jane Galbiso is a fiery lady-a warrior in the tradition of Filipino union activists and workers who fought big agribusiness, forged alliances with Latinos leading to the birth of the United Farm Workers Union (UFW).
The battle ground is her 20 acre organic farm--Ilokano Family Farm in Orosi, a rural community in California's Central Valley in Tulare County, 200 miles southeast of San Francisco. What's at stake is the future of the last Filipino farming community in the United States.
Mary Jane purchased her farm in 2002. The original owners were Filipino tomato growers. Mary Jane's family attempted to buy the farm in the 1970's but the owner resisted, eventually selling the property to a family intent on transforming it into a 88 unit housing development. The owners were advised that the land had insufficient sewer capacity which led to the cancellation of a proposed housing development on the property. Mary Jane purchased the property afterward, making improvements that included an agricultural storage building, irrigation well, pump shed, sidewalks, driveways and solar panels.
The Orosi Public Utility District levied a $120,000 assessment on the property based improvements in preparation for the housing development that had been proposed in 1995. Now the district is suing Mary Jane for the $120,000, which she sees as unjust due to the fact that 88 water and sewer hook ups down on the property was for the purposes of a housing development that never came to fruition . The fight is tangled in the courts with legal bills mounting on both sides-far exceeding the original 120,000. Both parties are embroiled in a battle in which Mary Jane has been painted as an outsider, a trouble-maker disturbing a normally tranquil community. Mary Jane sees the district's lawsuit as part of a land grab.
Farming is in Mary Jane Galbiso's blood. She is aware of its historical and cultural importance, citing the anniversary of the 1965 grape strike when Filipinos and Latino's worked together to improve working conditions, eventually winning a landmark labor contract. "It's difficult to keep young folks interested in our farming history," says Galbiso, whose farm produces organic Filipino and Asian vegetables such as Upo squash, bitter melon and talong. "We envisioned our farm as a Filipino youth camp, available to all Filipinos in this country as a way to connect with our traditions. The vegetables are sold at the Alemany Farmers Market in San Francisco and in markets in San Diego and Los Angeles.
Mary Jane's family has been in the US for generations. Orosi became a Filipino American farming community in the 1960's after US immigration widened, allowing more immigration from Asia. The area saw an influx of Filipinos from the Philippines who were experienced in working the land. "Farming is labor intensive," says Mary Jane. "To keep jobs you need to lessen mechanization. The machines that are used in big farms pollute the air and the soil. Our farm is small so we have goats that eat the weeds and solar panels to work our irrigation pumps." Mary Jane sites the cost of doing business, particularly now. "The war is driving up the fuel costs. It's not the production that's costly, it's the distribution. It costs $180.00 to fill up the tank to go down to LA, both ways."
Mary Jane is a successful real estate broker, dividing her time between Orosi and San Francisco. She could have remained in San Francisco but realized that she was losing part of her heritage. "My mom and dad and family have farmed for generations. I realized that if I'd stepped away, I'd be the first generation of my family that did not farm."
Ilokano Farms practices traditional farming. "The big US farms push tractors and mechanization and that is not what we're about" says Mary Jane. "Our vegetables are grown from seed we brought directly from the Philippines-not synthetically modified. No hybrids or grafting. Our seeds are from plants that have sustained and nourished our people for millennia."
Mary Jane sees the attempt to seize her land as collusion on the part of developers and the water district. "This is about keeping the country, country. Bottom line, it is about saving family farms and keeping more land as agriculture rather than having it fall into the hands of developers who are trying to turn small, rural towns into bedroom communities for the big cities like Fresno."
Mary Jane Galbiso's fight is a fight for land--the fight for independent farmers to keep their land, free from the insatiable appetites of ravenous developers. It is also resistance to corporate food producers. She points out, "Our vegetables are important in the fight against diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and the onslaught of 'modern-day' diseases. Traditional foods are important for all people to turn to in ensuring good health."
*The week of May 18th, the Orosi Public Utility District board voted to foreclose on Mary Jane Galbiso's farm. In response, Ms. Galbiso, herself a board member, introduced a resolution attempting to settle the ongoing litigation. The resolution was not heard and the litigation is ongoing and she is launching a board recall effort as this article goes to press.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is paying a high political price for spearheading a European Union deal with Turkey aimed at stemming the flow of refugees from the Middle East to Germany and northern Europe.
The deal, which is based on Ankara taking back refugees arriving in Greece from Turkey, has sparked widespread criticism across Europe with the agreement seen as providing Turkey's autocratic president Recep Tayyip Erdogan with leverage over the EU.
The result has been to send Ms Merkel's poll numbers tumbling, while placing at risk her authority as Europe's pre-eminent political leader amid increasing concerns the refugee deal could unravel.
The agreement with Ankara faces a crucial test this week when Brussels considers a key part of the accord, which calls for the EU to grant 78 million Turkish citizens visa-free travel in the EU from June.
'The issue of the visa waiver is vital for Turkey,' Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said at a joint news conference earlier this month with Merkel and top European officials during a trip to Turkey aimed at easing tensions over the deal.
The number of migrants making the perilous journey across the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece has dropped sharply since March when Ankara and the EU signed the deal, which also involves reviving Ankara's long-stalled EU accession talks and providing Turkey with €6 billion ($9 billion) in EU aid to arrange refuge for the 2.7 million migrants stranded in the nation.
But the plan for sending asylum seekers back to Turkey has not been fully implemented as a result of concerns expressed by groups including the UN and European humanitarian organisations about a range of issues, notably the treatment of non-Syrian refugees. Ankara does not apply the Geneva Convention on refugees in full.
Resistance to the visa waiver is also running high in both Ms Merkel's conservative, Christian Democrat-led bloc and several EU member states. Those opposed fear the move would pave the way for a new wave of Muslim migration into Western Europe, which is already battling its biggest refugee crisis since the Second World War.
Among the sceptics is Berlin's number one ally, France, where French President Francois Hollande faces a tough reelection fight in the first half of next year.
But then it was tensions unleashed by the arrival last year in Germany of more than one million refugees fleeing wars in the Middle East and Africa that forced Ms Merkel to agree to Turkey's requests — to speed up its EU accession talks and obtain the visa waiver — so as to stanch the flow of asylum seekers.
Turkey's political leadership might have distanced themselves from last week's comments from the Turkish parliament speaker, Ismail Kahraman calling for the nation's constitution to reflect its Islamic identity.
Still, for many in Western Europe, Mr Kahraman's remarks have only added to worries about the sense of change underway in Turkey.
'The introduction of Islam as a state religion would result in further divisions in Turkey's already highly polarised Turkish society and threaten social peace,' said Cem Ozdemir, co-chairman of the German political party Alliance '90/The Greens, who is of Turkish origins.
But even before Brussels decides whether to grant Turkey the visa waiver, German prosecutors could rule on whether a German comedian should face criminal charges as a result of a crude poem he read out on public TV about Mr Erdogan, which the Turkish leader claimed insulted him.
A decision by prosecutors that the comedian, Jan Boehmermann, has a case to answer, could pile on the pressure on Ms Merkel's after she agreed to allow prosecutors to consider the issue, sparking a bitter row in Germany about free speech and artistic freedom.
Mr Erdogan had demanded Mr Boehmermann face charges under an antiquated law, which prohibits insults against foreign leaders and which has been untouched since the 19th century when slights of honour could settled by drawing pistols at dawn.
The Boehmermann case and the EU refugee deal have come just as Ankara's human rights record and its crackdown on the media — along with reports of a black list of foreign journalists — have helped to fuel worries that Turkey is increasingly out of step with western European values.
Ms Merkel herself has in the past been one of the prominent opponents of Turkey's long-held quest for EU membership.
But her decision in the Boehmermann case has left her open to claims that she has allowed Mr Erdogan to export his clampdown on freedom of speech to Europe.
Up until recently, Ms Merkel's personal approval ratings have remained remarkably high despite the concerns about the refugee crisis and a sharp slump support for her conservative Christian Democrat-led political bloc in the wake of a deep split among her supporters about her handling of the migrant drama.
If Ankara meets its side of the bargain, the EU has promised to recommend on Wednesday that EU states approve visa-free travel for Turks. A recent Politbarometer poll suggested 80% of Germans believed the chancellor had made too many concessions to Turkey in her negotiations with Ankara over the refugee crisis.
Most doubted that Ankara is a reliable partner, while 62% of those polled said they were deeply unhappy with the chancellor's decision to ask prosecutors to rule whether Mr Boehmermann had case to answer for.
Ms Merkel has already announced that the section of the criminal code which Mr Erdogan had taken his legal action would be removed by 2018.
But the sudden plunge in her support appears to have rattled the chancellor who has acknowledged she made mistakes in the handling of the Boehmermann case, a rare admission for a political leader.
Her description of Mr Boehmermann's satirical poem — which implied the Turkish leader enjoyed child pornography and had sex with animals, among other insults — as 'purposefully offensive' could have given the incorrect impression that freedom of opinion and of the press were no longer important to her, Ms Merkel said.
'With hindsight that was a mistake,' she said attempting to set the record straight ahead of a visit to a refugee camp in Turkey and a meeting with Turkish Premier Ahmet Davutoglu.
Human rights and values would always feature in diplomatic discussions, 'but human rights, rights to freedom, the rights of the press are indispensable assets,' Ms Merkel said.
'And that a situation can arise where it is thought that such things would be abandoned because we just made a deal with Turkey — that was flawed,' she said.

Back in January, we reported on an imminent ballot on Fleet, in a dispute over a range of issues, including job cuts.
The ballot has now concluded, returning a 68% majority for strikes and an 89% majority for action-short-of-strikes.
Hopefully RMT will crack on and get strike dates named, ideally coordinating them with other ongoing disputes across the job, including the Central Line drivers' fight against forced displacements.
With Night Tube forming part of the background to this dispute (specifically, LU's failure to honour an agreement to staff up in order to cover additional work), the potential is emerging for a combine-wide dispute over Night Tube, involving drivers and station staff, who are rightly aggrieved at having opportunities to transfer into full-time positions blocked, and fleet staff. Why not ballot Interserve and ISS cleaners, and other contractors working nights, on their issues too, and make it an across-the-job dispute against the exploitation of Night Tube staff?

The parks that line the Columbia River in Richland are something to be proud of. Leslie Groves, Howard Amon, and Columbia Point are three notables. Visit these parks on any summer day and you'll see how many residents and visitors appreciate the waterfront.
The city of Richland is rich in history, given its ties to the Manhattan Project and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
Richland was a small berg of just 300 residents before the U.S. government and its mission to produce plutonium during World War Two caused the population to swell to around 25,000.
The Manhattan Project and subsequent conversion to a nuclear plant in the Hanford area has left us with the area known as the Gold Coast Historic District. The area was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. This area comprises the unique "alphabet homes" that were built during the Hanford build-up.
The parks that line the Columbia River in Richland are something to be proud of. Leslie Groves, Howard Amon, and Columbia Point are three notables. Visit these parks on any summer day and you'll see how many residents and visitors appreciate the waterfront. Howard Amon is also the site of many popular annual events including Ye Merrie Greenwood Faire, the Allied Arts Annual Art in the Park show, and the Tumbleweed Music Festival.
Richland's Parkway off George Washington way hosts a weekly farmers' market. Each Friday until mid-October you'll find an array of vendors from 9:00am-1:00pm.
Christ the King School's annual Sausage Fest is a big draw each fall in Richland. The school hosts this Bavarian-themed festival on its grounds with food booths, carnival games, bingo, and the ever-popular beer gardens, complete with oompa-loompa bands. Richland is also home to the Tri-Cities branch campus of Washington State University, allowing students to complete four-year degrees from a world-class institution.
Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland is the area's largest hospital. The facility is named after one of its first patients, Lt. Col. Harry Kadlec. He was also the hospital's first death.

White Bird
Penguin Books
Penguin Random House
I read the book Wonder a number of years ago and loved it. I have it as year six book club title and the children love it too. So it was a no brainer to buy a copy of White Bird which shares with us the backstory of Julian's grandmother. For those who read Wonder, you will remember that Julian was a bully and very unkind. While there is no excuse for such horrible behaviour, we can see in Whitebird that Julian later regretted his actions. For homework Julian has to write an essay about someone he knows and he chooses his grandmother. At first she is reluctant to share her story but she goes ahead and we are taken back to the 1940's and a world at war.
Wow! Where to start? I loved this book so much. I cried so much I couldn't see the words on the page.
Julian's grandmother Sara Blum, was a young Jewish girl living in occupied France, who believed her life was good and a bit like a fairy tale. Her family had nice things, food, a home, and spent time together as a family in the fields of bluebells. One day the Nazis came to school wanting to collect all the Jewish children. They ran through a forest trying to escape but Sara hid in a room upstairs in the school where a crippled classmate found her and led her to safety. Together, this boy Julien, and his family helped hide Sara in a barn and kept her safe.
Throughout the story we see bullying, kindness, trust, and mistrust, courage, hope, the futility of war and the impact it had long after the war was over. We meet strong, kindhearted people risking their lives, as well as nasty ones, ready to shoot on sight. Throughout the years in hiding, it is the friendship between Sara and Julien that is most moving of all.
This is powerful and at times uncomfortable to read but it's a must read.
Written and illustrated as a graphic novel by R. J. Palcio you can see that the author knows exactly how her characters respond to situations, she knows their stories, their thoughts and fears and captures them in her illustrations so well, that we also know and can relate to them. We can feel Sara's sadness and we can feel Julien's frustration at his disability, especially as he remembers how fast he could run before polio ruined everything.
This is ideal from middle grade right through to secondary. There is so much to consider, so much to unpack and just so much more than a story about a young girl hiding and trying to survive in Occupied France. It is a story of hope.
Julian's grandmother has a message for us all "Never again".
You can read White Bird as a stand alone but if you want a little more out of it then read Wonder if you haven't already.

Egg Tarts Perfect For Hectic Mornings
These simple egg tarts make a great grab-and-go breakfast. They only take a few minutes to throw together, they keep in the fridge for nearly a week and can be enjoyed hot or cold. I often make a dozen on Sunday night and eat three each morning on the bus ride to work from Monday til Thursday.
3 eggs for a dozen tarts (1 egg = about 4 tarts, but this depends greatly on what else you add)
3 tablespoons milk or cream (or about 1 tablespoon per egg if you want to make more or less tarts)
Tart shells, I use ready made no name tart shells.
Additions: add anything you would add to an omelet! Or go the route I did and add whatever you have in your fridge. I had celery, red pepper and old white cheddar cheese, not bad for the day before grocery shopping, smile.
Beat together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of milk or cream for every 4 tarts you want to make. I made 12 tarts, so I used 3 eggs and 3 tablespoons of cream.
Dice up your vegetables, cheese or other additions nice and small. The tarts are tiny, so you want everything to be tiny.
Mix the eggs and additions together.
Alternatively, you can leave your vegetables and cheese and whatnot in big hunks and just add one big hunk of each item into each tart and pour the egg mixture on top, but I find it's quicker to just chop everything up small instead of divvying up the individual ingredients.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the tarts. You can fill the tart shells right to the brim.
Bake for about 25 minutes at 375 degrees until golden.
Eat immediately or refrigerate until ready to grab-and-go! Just to warn you, the tarts don't look quite as pretty the next day because the egg mixture shrinks a bit and pulls away from the tarts around the edges, but they still taste great. I usually eat them cold after the first day, but I bet a quick toast in a toaster oven would be awesome if you had one. I don't, it's on the wish list, grin. Jump up.

Throughout the year we have held many fun events and we propose to do the same in the New Year. Please feel free to join us – scores don't matter as long as you have fun.
We would especially like to thank Bill Simpson for running our raffles at all of our various functions throughout the year. This helps the Club, as well as always being a fun event.And while we are at it, we would also like to thank Don Wilson for setting up and running the turkey boards. There are other people who have helped with the distribution of these "boards". Thanks everybody.
And while we are thanking people, there are a lot of people that have helped to keep the range operating and in good maintenance condition. The names are too numerous to mention but one person who does a top-notch job that should be mentioned, is Dianne Upper. See the photo. Dianne is always there on Sundays whether it is the regular practice shoot, sporting clays, 5 Stand, or any other event. As well as being a great friend to everybody, she keeps the bookkeeping records, takes in money, and is often preparing lunches for us. Thanks Dianne. Another person to thank for a job well done is our caretaker, Carroll Davis. She treats the range facilities as if they were her own. Thanks, Carroll.
Recently we held some more fun events: a PITA Multiplex, an Annie Oakley, a Bushwacker, and an Argentinian shoot (similar to 5 Stand). For more details on what these shoots are, please talk to one of the persons at the range. (I am trying to keep this as short as possible.)
On November 28 we held our "food bank" sporting clays shoot. We had 94 shooters who brought foodstuffs and cash for the food bank. It was very successful.Don't forget the turkey shoots on Boxing Day and New Year's Day. It will be 10 birds for $7.50, shooting in the relevant skill level.
Trap Shooting – For all the Club members that don't shoot shotguns, or for our newer range members, I include a long-winded explanation of trap shooting. Enjoy.
Trap shooting, often called "American trap shooting" to distinguish it from other forms of trap shooting, is but one of many sports based on shooting small disks launched into the air. These disks are of various sizes. Clay pigeons are commonly called "birds". In addition to trap shooting, people also shoot other games involving these disks, such as skeet, sporting clays, 5 stand and wobble trap. This last is like trap shooting, except the trap machine is set up to vary both the direction of the clay pigeon's flight and the angle of elevation.
You can use any shotgun gauge, up to 12 gauge. Using anything smaller than a 12 gauge entails a loss of hitting power. Some do choose smaller guns for their lower weight and reduced recoil. Note: in shotguns, a larger numerical gauge designation refers to a smaller bore. A 20 gauge is smaller than a 12 gauge. This holds true for all shotgun bore sizes other than the .410. ".410" refers to a bore that is .410 of an inch in diameter. Unless you are truly crazy, you will not be using a .410 to shoot trap. It is just too small. You may use up to 1 1/8 ounce of shot in 12 gauge. I don't know what the weight limit is in 20 gauge, but typical commercially available target loads are 7/8 ounce. You may use shot sized 7 1/2 and smaller. Like gauge sizes, a lower shot size number refers to a larger shot size. The maximum velocity allowed is 1250 feet per second for 1 1/8 ounce loads. You may use slightly higher velocities for lighter loads, and the whole thing gets really complicated. Why bother with all that? Just get some 1 1/8 ounce #8 shot target loads.
Trap shooting has some simple, straightforward rules. Always practice safe gun handling. Only load your gun when it's your turn to shoot. Only load one shell unless you're shooting doubles. For doubles, you may load two. If, while you're on the trap field, the staff needs to tend to the trap house, to reload the machine or otherwise adjust the machine, unload your gun. In trap shooting, the gun's safety is ignored. Do not bother with it. Your gun is either loaded and ready to shoot, or unloaded. The only "safety" is an unloaded gun.
There are several interesting rules about gun failures, broken birds and so on. Your fellow shooters and/or the score keeper will help you with them. Just don't get flustered. While shooting doubles, remember that you are only allowed one shot at each bird. If you miss your first bird, you must switch to the second bird and try to break it instead of shooting at the first bird again. Even though a round consists of 25 birds, and a round of doubles consists of 50 birds, you should carry some spare shells in addition to the 25 or 50 you expect to shoot. If a bird is broken in the process of being thrown, you'll get another bird to shoot. If you shoot at that broken bird, you'll need a spare shell. If you shoot out of turn, you'll need to reshoot that turn. If, in doubles, you shoot the first bird without noticing that your second bird broke while being thrown, you'll have to reshoot that turn. If your gun fails to fire after you hit your first bird in doubles, you'll have to reshoot that turn. Obviously, if you miss your first bird, a failure to fire on your second bird counts as a lost pair. Otherwise, sly shooters would tend to have a lot of "fail to fire" episodes after lost first birds.
"Lost birds" are birds you didn't break. "Dead birds" are the ones you did break. A dead bird means you definitely broke the bird. Knocking a little dust off it isn't enough. You must at least knock a chip out of the bird. Ordinarily, the score keeper announces the lost birds but not the dead birds. Among trap shooters, dead birds are the norm, and therefore not worthy of mention. In doubles, the score keeper announces the results of every shot: "dead pair," dead, lost," "lost, dead," or "lost pair." "Lost pair" is never a pleasant sound.
Best of the Season to everybody.

After getting a master's degree in the Textile Futures program at London's Central Saint Martins in 2009, the Berlin designer Elisa Strozyk decided to make something that was part wood flooring, part rug. The result: wooden carpet. Sounds simple, but each rug is made of hundreds of individually sanded and oiled pieces of wood veneer that are cut and attached by hand to a textile base. The carpets, which are now produced and distributed by the German furniture manufacturer Böwer, generated so much interest in Strozyk that she skipped the usual apprenticeships and set up her own studio. She calls her work "the never-ending experiment." Stay tuned.

Pizza – utter this word and probably everyone will imagine a crust loaded with some of their favorite toppings and fully loaded with melting cheese. The crust now differs from person to person – few people would like it thin and more of toppings while the others would prefer the pan crust and not to forget the one yummy pizza filled with cheese. However, most of the times we either see people stepping out from the comfort of their houses to grab a pizza or place an online order. Not many people are keen on eating a home-made pizza; since it tends to be so different from your restaurant-style. So what is so special about their pizzas? What can we do to get the same quality in the comfort of your home? All that you need to do is to try and experiment with the topping, pizza base and get the flavors right. However, what about the crust? How do the restaurants and all the pizza places manage to get the crust right and also in so many varieties? Is it the burning pizza oven that they have or is it something else?
Well, it's nothing to do with the oven! Your normal convection oven would work just fine for this. However, what finally does matter is the pan that you use. Pan? Yes, the pan makes all the difference in the crust or the base of the pizza. Sometimes, look carefully and you will see that every time you order pizza at a pizza place, depending on the crust that you have ordered the pan containing the pizza changes. So there is your answer – the pizza pan. Now let's understand which pans are the best and why are they considered the best?

Now that you've seen our top 5 recommendations, we'll give you more detail on each of them, including why we liked them. When you're ready, click the yellow button to get the best price on Amazon!
#1 – Lodge P14P3 Seasoned Cast Iron Baking and Pizza Pan, 14 Inch
When it comes to cast-iron pizza pans, the first thing that we need to remember is that though their heat retention is unparalleled, they have to be seasoned before they can be used. This particular cast iron pan is already pre-seasoned with oil for a natural and easy-release finish that instead of diminishing, improves with use. Not only can this pizza pan be used for baking pizzas, you can also use it for baking goodies or even roasted vegetables that either needs to be seared, baked, broiled, fried or grilled. It also has side loop handles make it easy to carry and transport. This is one pan that can, not only be used in the oven but also on the stove, over the grill or over the campfire and its ideal for even induction cook tops. Additionally, the large cooking or baking area of 14-inches makes it ideal for cooking of any sort.
Maintaining this pan is also relatively simple. You just need to hand wash it, dry and rub cooking oil over it to preserve the seasoning. Due to the material, the heat is evenly spread out across the pan creating a perfect uniform crust and the best pizza ever. Due to the design of the pan, there are no restrictions to the technique of pizza making that can be used. The simplest thing that you can do it slap the dough on the cold surface of the pan, top it and bake. The result is a soft pizza with a crispy crust. The only thing that's not possible with this pan is a deep dish; since the pan is flatter and without edges.
What we like about it
Firstly, the pan is made of cast-iron and pre-seasoned which makes it ideal for making pizzas and roasted vegetables. The 14-inch size ensures that it fits into the oven as well as makes large pizzas with a thin crispy crust. Also, having the handles to carry around makes the transportation easy and adds to this the functionality of using it anywhere along with making anything on it that requires a flat surface and finally with an easy clean-up option.
#2 – T-fal AirBake Nonstick Pizza Pan
This is a non-stick pizza pan from T-fal made of 2 sheets of aluminum with perforations. The perforations ensure that there are enough airflow and the pan heats evenly and the pizza is cooked and browned perfectly. Further, the pan uses a MicroDome technology which reduces the cooking time by 15% over traditional pans that are used. The design of the pan is such that the bottom layer sheet blocks the direct oven heat while an insulation layer in the middle acts as an insulator and prevents the top sheet from overheating.

How do we Choose the Top Pizza Pan in our List?
At the end of the day, the type of pizza pan you choose is based on the type of crust that you prefer. Here's a list of the features of the pizza pans that could work in your favor to help you make the right selection –
Cast iron vs. stainless steel
Using a stainless steel, only ensures that it is easier to maintain. However, if you are just getting into pizza-making, stainless steel wouldn't be the best choice, since the pizza burns more easily in a stainless steel pan. The cast iron one is quite popular since it imparts a great flavor to the pizza. However, this one requires more care and also more tedious to clean. Additionally, the surface needs to be seasoned well before setting the pizza in.
Vents vs. no vents
A vented or a perforated pizza pan as the name suggests – has holes in the bottom of the pan so that the heat can follow under the pizza resulting into a crispier crust.
If you want a deeper crust or stuffed-crust, this is the right thing to look for in a pizza pan.
Non-stick coating
Non-stick coating throughout is an attractive option while having the pizza pan cleaned; however, there are more downsides to this – the crust is difficult to brown and at high temperatures, you have to worry about the chemicals in the coating contaminating the food.
Pizza pan vs. pizza stone
So far, we have mostly discussed the different types of pizza pans. There is something called as a "pizza stone". Like the name suggests, the pizza stone is a flat surface, made of stone or ceramic, used for cooking pizzas. So, what makes the pizza stone so special? The pizza stone is meant to replicate the bottom of a commercial oven. Since the heat conducting very well through the stone, the output is a perfect browned crust. The main downside of using a stone is that the pizza cannot be molded, like that in a pan. Hence it can look much uninformed. Also, the pizza stone needs to be preheated before it can be used.
Different Types of Pizza Pan
Baking the right kind of pizza has a lot to do with the type of pizza pan that has been chosen. It's very important to understand that each type of pizza pan produces a different type of pizza crust. This applies to commercial as well as at home cooking of pizza.
Coupe Pizza Pan/ Pizza Tray
Coupe Pizza Pan/ Pizza Tray is one of the most traditional types of pizza pans that are commonly seen on the kitchen shelves. The design of the pan is such that the smooth flat base makes it best for direct from oven to table service and to add to this, the slightly raised edges make it easier to grab a slice. This type of pizza pan is mainly used for a slower bake time to produce a soft and doughier kind of a crust. The design of the pan allows the pizza to be constructed in the pan itself.
For Example, you can try the 10″ Heavy Weight Aluminum Coupe Style Pizza Pan or the 14″ Hard Coated Aluminum Tapered Pizza Pan
Perforated Pizza Pans
People often want to know why the pizza pan needs to have holes or perforations. The holes in the pizza pan promote the flow of air and prevent the pizza from getting soggy, as the holes allow the moisture to escape while resting and ensuring that it doesn't get absorbed back into the crust. Also the perforated pans help cook the pizza more evenly leaving a crispy, brown crust. Depending on the size of the holes or perforations, you can predict the exact airflow and create the right kind of pie. For Example, 19″ Hard Coated Aluminum Perforated Pizza Pan or 10″ Wide Rim Aluminum Heavy-Weight Pizza Pan.
Pizza Pans with Nibs
Similar, to perforated pans, we have pans with nibs or raised bumps along the base of the pizza pan. These work in a similar way to the perforations and allow more room for the airflow and ensure that the moisture doesn't get absorbed back in the pizza. Instead in this type of pizza pan, the excess grease and the moisture will stay in the pan rather than be absorbed back into the crust. For Example; a 10″ Pizza Pan with Nibs or 9″ Hard Coated Aluminum Perforated Pizza Pan
Pizza Screens
Pizza screens, also known as pizza disks, are mainly used to cook thin crust pizzas and these are the best type of pizza pans for producing crispy crusts. The base of the pizza pan has a more mesh-like construction ensuring the pizza cooks faster; hence it becomes an ideal choice for use on conveyor pizza ovens. Also this type of pan prevents the crust from getting soggy while resting. Since the moisture in the pizza has a place to escape, some pizzerias use the pizza screens as a cooling rack from their fresh-from-the-oven pies. For example, 18″ Aluminum Mega Pizza Screen or 12″ Heavy Duty Pizza Screen.
Deep Dish Pizza Pans
As the name suggests, when you are looking for the authentic deep dish pizza, this is the type of pan that you need to look out for. The tall sides allow you to stuff all of the dough and all the possible toppings that you want to add to create that memorable pizza. You can either select one in the coupe style or the perforated one, depending on the type of crust that you are looking for. For example; 18″ Hard Coated Aluminum Football Shaped Pizza Pan or the 7″ Hard Coated Aluminum Perforated Deep Dish Pizza Pan.
Why do you need the best Pizza Pan in your Kitchen?
Finally, the reason we all love restaurant-style pizzas is the crust. Hence, the crust of your home-made pizza needs to be fantastic. With the best pizza pan you can, not only enhance your culinary skills but also work on baking the perfect crust. Change the type of the pan and your options are limitless, then where it's then doing a thin crust or a deep dish. It's important to understand and remember that the while cooking the pizza there are high amounts of heat required, which is difficult to achieve in our home ovens. Making use of the best pizza pan for home, you can counter this problem. Further, the pan also helps in case there is slow cooking required for a crispy and brown crust. A metal pizza pan also is easier to buy even at low costs and easier to maintain. Whatever, amount of money you finally invest, remember, that it's important that you get the value for your money. The pizza pan should cover the features and points that you intend to use it for. It shouldn't happen that you buy the pan and it doesn't serve the purpose and becomes more of an unused utensil in your kitchen.

A beauty guru has revealed dermaplaning to be one of her top beauty trends for the year, which is unsurprising given the amazing affect it has.
Chloe Morello, whose internet beauty videos have won her thousands of fans all over the world, told the Daily Mail that the technique, which uses a special razor to shave away the very fine vellus hairs from the face, getting rid of the 'peach fuzz' effect, is ideal for giving your face an even surface for applying makeup.
A face with these peach fuzz fine hairs can be prone to 'cakey' makeup, she explained to the newspaper, and in harsh lighting these aesthetic imperfections leave even a face that appears perfectly made up in soft lighting looking uneven.
Morello will have her face dermaplaned once a month, giving her the perfect visage for her makeup tutorial videos.
"I absolutely love to do this," she was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying. "It picks up all the little peach fuzz so when you apply your makeup there is no hair catching the light and it also does exfoliate you. It is extremely satisfying and it makes a big difference in the application of your makeup."
We at Advanced Aesthetics have been big fans of dermaplaning for a long time because of its numerous benefits.
Not only does the process give you a perfectly smooth canvas for your makeup application but it can help reduce the appearance of acne scarring, wrinkles and dark spots and helps moisturisers and serums penetrate the skin more effectively.

Special Trips / Glaciers & Ice Lakes
Our special trips will take you into the heart of the Coastal Mountains, to a pure and untouched backcountry wilderness that will leave you with memories of a once in a life time experience
Jacobson Lake - Iceberg Lake:
Jacobson Lake is an amazing glaciers fed lake surrounded by many peaks and two massive glaciers. The Jacobson glacier is part of the Monarch Ice Field (the biggest ice field out of the arctic circle) and flows right into Jacobson Lake.
A day at Jacobson Lake includes a ride with a small motor boat in front the face of the glacier and later a short land extrusion to the glacier it self. The best thing about enjoy this amazing scenery is that you'll be all alone.
This can be done as a day extrusion or spend the night in comfortable hunting tents in the most outstanding place possible.
This trip require a float plane flight. Please inquire for pricing.
Ape Lake (Symphony Lake):
Ape Lake is a small and beautiful lake located between many big peaks and two massive glaciers.
The Ape Lake area offers several hiking days. Some of the hiking areas use to be the bottom of Ape Lake (up until the late 1980's), making this area so unique and amazing.
Ape Lake is usually explored as a over night trip. We use a small tent camp as our base and go on day hikes from it.
Ape Lake to Jacobson Lake backpacking trip:
Can't decide witch lake you want to visit more? We offer a spectacular 4 nights/5 days strenuous backpacking trip that combines the best of both worlds.
Starting with a couple nights at Ape Lake, using our tent camp as a base camp for day hikes.
Then, we pack all the gear on our backs and hike to Azor Lake. Here we'll spend the night in front of the glaciers and some amazing views of Jacobson Lake.
From there, we'll continue hiking to Jacobson Lake where a small boat will wait for us and take us to our hunting tent camp. This day is very strenuous and probably one of the best days you can do in North America.
On our last day we'll be going to see the Jacobson glacier up close.
Hut to Hut hiking:
Hut to Hut hiking is also available in the area surrounding Nuk Tessli.
Wilderness Cabin is located just a few hours hiking from Nuk Tessli and it's located on the shore of a small lake with big mountains all around.
A classic hut to hut hiking will be to fly into Wilderness Cabin, hike for a 1-2 days in the Wilderness Valley and see the glaciers.
Then, hike to Nuk Tessli and do 3-4 days of hiking from the Nuk Tessli log cabins.
This trip requires booking in advance .

Game Overview
Micro Machines II was a great released by Codemasters, featuring cars that require different handling techniques for each course or track. The game brought hovercrafts and helicopters as well. The head-to-head playing mode was the most fun, when each player had to earn points by driving a full screen ahead of the other players. I only played the SNES version, but I heard the PC one had a track editor, which would have been a great addition for any platform. The Turkish 90s TV star Violet Berlin was a playable driver in the game.
The graphics are still classic birds eye view, but they are a bit better than Micro Machines. They are colourful and react with every move.
The menu music is good, very lively. Sometimes you might want to watch the demo to hear it. You can beep horns this time which doesn't do much against the computer.
Codemasters Are Also launching a new budget range, Hot Stuff. They're kicking it all off with this absolute corker: a multi-player, top down-viewed racing game. Use the tiny cars, boats, helicopters and even tanks to skitter around in places like the kitchen, the pool table, or the naked body of your next-door-neighbour's sexy Mum. In fact, thanks to the superb circuit-editing facility, the latter, a popular fantasy with dirty-minded schoolboys everywhere, is now attainable - and for this reason alone, something of a must-buy. But if you're a normal, balanced individual and just want to race around the rim of other people's lavatories, through the detritus on their breakfast table, there are plenty of ready-made circuits.

One of my very favorites on here today – Jonathan Canlas. Rocking the family session. (And very quietly, I will admit that its my family and that Jon took these photos in like 15 minutes with 20 other photographers in the way)
And very loudly I say LOOK at the rad Family Group photo.. the one with Noelle with her glasses on up front.. the BAND PHOTO. Oh how I wish all family group photos could be so cool.
I think we will bring that topic up later this week.[blogshow id=b897 player=0 autoplay=0 toolbar=1]
You are the best example of someone whose personal work matches their professional work completely.
is this a question? if so, i disagree :). i'm not the best example by any means. there are others WAY better than me. but i am doing everything i can to make them one in the same. personal=professional. it is all my voice, just applied to different shoots. some pay, some don't. i don't want inconsistent work. the way i shoot for my clients is how i shoot for myself, period.
Are you shooting for both love and money?
oh yeah, it is always for both. i have not had another job besides being employed for myself since 2001. and even then i was working in a photo lab in provo scanning film. i'd be doing this (photography) whether people paid me or not. i am just lucky enough that i get paid to do exactly what i love.
Meaning you make money but still have passion and love for your photography?
yep, i love what i do, but also, it is our sole income. if for some reason it came to a point where i was not making money with photography, i'd still do it on the side just for the love of it. but let's hope that day never comes :). i will say my passions have changed a bit, but i don't really know if it is passion as much as it is figuring out exactly what it is that i love. i've shot weddings since 1999. i love them, don't get me wrong, but i don't ever want to be at a place where i was shooting as many weddings as i did. i'll shoot 10 (if that) this year. and that is by choice. i want to focus more on shooting families, and personal work. and i love teaching and helping others as well which is what the workshops allow me to do.
How do you attract those clients who value what you see?
i don't know that i do anything other than blog and put the work out there. i don't write much on the posts, i don't advertise, and i've stopped pushing my work to blogs. i rely heavily on referrals/word of mouth and seeking out the people i want to work with. there is the occasional person who says they've seen the work on so so's wall/blog/fb, and then hire me. so i guess the answer is word of mouth. also, i think my price is a barrier in and of itself. in the words of estevan oriol, cheap photos aren't good and good photos aren't cheap.
Did you ever struggle with trying to please clients and giving them what they want vs. what you want to shoot? How do you handle it?
oh yeah, all the time. i'll shoot what i need to to keep it safe. ALWAYS. because no matter what, they've hired me for a service that I will do everything I can to provide, and then once that is done, i'll shoot for me. but i think i am always shooting for me as i choose how i compose the images and what i will keep and not keep in frame. i am the one in control of what story is and is not being told/documented
I see some tilt in your images but haven't you heard you talk about that. Is there tilt? To me, it adds some movement and since your clients are always having a good time, laughter into the image. Its like I can see them leaning into each other and laughing.
really? i'm not much of a tilter. i LOATHE inappropriate tilts. no offense to anyone, but when i see it in images, it says to me they gave up, had no other option to make whatever they put in their frame "interesting". meaning, an image that is tilted for no other reason than to make it "interesting" is just, well, NOT interesting. i will tilt when it is needed and appropriate. to use the strength of leading lines or to straightening up someone's face. or like you mentioned, to give it the "appropriate" feel of movement. but that being said, i'd say 95% of my work is shot straight on, no tilts, just the image and it's environment. i'm really into composition and making sure everything in my frame is there for a reason. and tilting goes against all of that.
also, let me elaborate on "since my clients are always having a good time". that is NOT always the case.
my clients just don't show up laughing and having a good time. i mean, a lot of the kids are little. that takes work. i have to gain their trust in a SUPER short amount of time. and i do everything i can to do just that. having 6 kids of my own helps a TON. a lot of the images i post and you see are actually super awkward moments.
i am very fast and efficient in what i do. i don't have the skill or more importantly the patience for photojournalism. to wait for my clients to give me the feeling/expressions i want to tell their story. so i use my personality, interject myself, direct (heavily sometimes), to get them to react and to get the "pj" created moments so both my client and i can be done in a fast and efficient way. engagement sessions? 45 minutes. family sessions? TOPS an hour. i think the client is literally done by that time. its kind of like eating, when you are full, you just kind of sigh, regardless of where you are in your meal or how much food is left on your plate. anything after that is just excessive.
