Good morning ladies! What better way to start off this Friday morning than giving away free stuff, right! I have selected the winner of the May Birthday giveaway, and it is none other than the wonderful:
Congrats Violet! Please check your email, and get back to me with your address :)
Violet was the lucky winner of four (4) of the new Sally Hansen Neons! I originally thought I just had bought three extra, but when I looked I had four - win!!!
Since there were 6 non-contest related comments on this post, I subtracted 6 from 28 (total number of comments) and entered those numbers into random.org. When the number 13 was picked I counted down the comments, skipping over any of the 6 non-related comments.
Thanks to all who participated. I still hope you all have wonderful May birthdays!

Sponsored Post: Bario-Neal Jewelry
You know those companies that you feel so lucky to know about? That's how I feel about Bario-Neal. All of their jewelry is hand-crafted with reclaimed precious metals, ethically-sourced stones, and environmentally conscious practices. And it's gorgeous. Anna and Page are the artisans behind the jewelry, creating everything by hand in their Philadelphia studio.
I love this ring – it's simple, chic, modern. How incredible is that paper-thin band?
The reticulated rings on the right are made by continually heating and quenching the metal, giving them their organic shape and texture.
Tie the knot in silver or gold.
I'm thinking this simple gold band will go perfectly next to my vintage engagement ring…
There isn't a ton of unique wedding jewelry out there for men, but Bario-Neal is stepping in to fill the void for grooms who want something less traditional than the standard band.
If you don't see exactly what you want on Bario-Neal's website, you can work with Anna and Page to create the jewelry of your dreams – they'll even work with your heirloom materials. Because all of their work is handmade, make sure to place your order at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead of time (longer for custom pieces) – just a head's up for all you 2010 brides!

It's Time To Invest In Netflix.
Hackers can hide computer viruses in online video subtitles and use them to take control of computers, security experts have warned.
Those most at risk of these viruses are people who illegally download movies and TV shows, according to The Guardian, hackers are embedding viruses within subtitle files that come with the films. The viruses contained in these files can easily bypass most security software and antivirus programs designed to keep computers safe.
Checkpoint, the group responsible for discovering the threat, say that millions of people who watch and download films illegally are at risk.
The viruses are similar to the Rasnsomware attack which was used recently to target the NHS. The attack allows hackers to take full control over any type of device using the software, this includes laptops, phones or even smart TV's.
Checkpoint say four platforms are particularly susceptible, and these are: VLC, Kodi, Popcorn Time and Stremio.
Once hackers have taken control of your computer they can hold all your data hostage, including all the files on your hard drive making you computer worthless. In the UK the only publicised ransomware attack left a man having to pay £500 to get his files back. However, it must be noted it is not known whether or not the hackers will return your files after you have paid the ransom.
VLC, Kodi, Popcorn Time and Stremio said they had developed patches to protect against the attack, although many users will not have updated to the latest software. The latest versions of the software are available to download on their websites.
The only way to be safe is buy, streaming your favourite films and shows, from legal sites such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO Go.
Watch the video below to see the virus in action.

SINGAPORE - Presidential hopefuls will get more time to submit their papers, and the committee tasked to decide if they qualify to run for office will also have more time to vet the applications.
These are among some of the changes to the Presidential Elections Act proposed in Parliament on Monday (Jan 9).
They follow the broader constitutional changes to the elected presidency that were passed last November, and spell out the nuts and bolts of how presidential elections will be carried out.
MPs will debate the latest amendments when Parliament sits in February, and are likely to pass the Presidential Elections (Amendment) Bill in time for this year's election, due by the end of August.
Under the proposed changes is one that will give candidates more time for to prepare their applications, which now require more information.
The deadline for applying for a certificate of eligibility will be extended to five days after the writ of election is issued, up from three days.
The Presidential Elections Committee will also have more time to vet these applications.
Next, Nomination Day will start a minimum of 10 days after the Prime Minister issues the writ of election, up from the current minimum of five days.
Community Committee
In another change, a 16-member Community Committee will be set up to make sure the practice of reserved elections runs smoothly. It will assess whether a candidate belongs to a particular racial group.
Under the constitutional changes passed in November, provisions were put in place to ensure that people of minority groups are elected as president from time to time.
A presidential election will be reserved for members of a particular racial group if there has not been a president from the group for the five most recent presidential terms.
But if no eligible candidate from that group comes forward, the election will be reserved for another eligible group. In the event that no other group is eligible, a fresh writ will be issued declaring an open election.
The Community Committee will consist of a chairman, and three sub-committees for the Chinese, Malay, and Indian and other minority groups. Each sub-committee will have five members.
All who want to run for president must declare to the Community Committee which of the three main communities they consider themselves a part of.
They will be issued a certificate for that community if the sub-committee is satisfied that they belong to that community.
The upcoming election will be reserved for Malay candidates, and all candidates must have a Malay community certificate to run.
Prospective candidates must apply to both the Community Committee and the Presidential Elections Committee.
Both committees must tell them about the outcome of their application no later than the day before Nomination Day.
In an open election, every candidate must also declare the racial group they belong to, so that it can be determined when reserved elections should happen.
A person who does not belong to the Chinese, Malay, and Indian and other minority groups will not be issued a community certificate, but can still stand in an open election if he gets a certificate of eligibility.
For example, a naturalised Singaporean of Japanese heritage might not be considered part of the Chinese, Malay, or Indian and other minority communities.
More time for overseas voters to register, automatic recounts
Other changes were proposed to make elections more efficient.
To make it more convenient for overseas Singaporeans to vote from abroad, the deadline to register as an overseas voter will be extended.
It will now be two calendar days after the issue of the writ of election, instead of on the day it is issued.
Additionally, recounts of votes will be automatically done if the number of votes between the top candidate and any other candidate is 2 per cent or less of the total valid votes.
This avoids unnecessary delays. Now, the 2 per cent margin allows candidates or their counting agent to ask for a recount.

Fuelling Entrepreneurship for a Climate-Smart and Socially Inclusive Green Economy
As many other countries, South Africa is facing challenges in operationalising its climate change mitigation targets for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement and linking sustainable development with ambitious adaptation efforts. At the same time, poverty alleviation and the reduction of inequalities and unemployment remain key priorities in South Africa's National Development Plan (NDP). As a UN PAGE (Partnership for Action on Green Economy) country since 2015 and host of the UN PAGE Ministerial Conference in January 2019 in Cape Town, South Africa is increasingly taking responsibility for leading the transition towards a socially inclusive, green economy.
Climate-smart and socially inclusive enterprises provide market-based solutions which help to enhance the adaptive capacities of the South African economy and society and bear immense potential to drive this transition. However, many small and growing enterprises are unable to scale-up in light of significant barriers to accessing tailored advisory services, financing instruments and policy frameworks.
How can we strategically fuel the success of climate-smart and socially inclusive enterprises in South Africa through excellent business development support and tailored financing instruments?

In Quito I chose to stay at the Swissotel. Anxious about living in a place in which multiple inoculations are recommended, I chose the hotel for the antiseptic reputation of the managers, the Swiss.
The room was what I had requested, a chilled, tan asylum in which noise, germs, noxious gases, and strangers were effectively blocked. Except for an oblique view of the Andes, I could have been in any good hotel on earth.
I left Quito for Amazonia in a Mercedes diesel van, piloted by Raoul. If willing to drive at 100 km an hour over dirt roads and dodge potholes that could challenge an avid spelunker, one can leave the labyrinth of Quito and reach the Oriente, the Ecuadorian Amazon, in 4 hours.
For the first hour we climbed through the Andes to a dry summit, miles above sea level. The next three hours were spent rolling down mountainsides, testing for the point at which the friction of the tires was trumped by the inertia of the bus to send us rocketing through a line of space instead of hugging a curve in the road.
On the Oriente side of the summit, the scrub changed from tan to olive.
Then we passed through a cloud…
and the forest appeared.
The Tres Marias , three ribbons of spray and foam, fell from unencumbered heights to the warm and untidy valley floor.
Within just a few hours we had dropped thousands of feet and entered the tropics.
I was greeted by the very friendly staff of the Cabanas, who have been taking excellent care of me, the hapless gringo. But the first night was rough and nearly ended this Amazon adventure. Before dinner, sitting on the second story porch of the cabana, I heard rustling in the roof. Nested between corrugated sheet metal and the wooden slats of the ceiling is a colony of bats, who with wing flapping and butt thumping, scoot through the tight space to emerge into the coming night to feast on fruit and insects. Unnerved by the proximity of so many omnivores, I humored myself with the thought that I will not need a clock to know when it is the cocktail hour. After an excellent dinner of chicken, rice, fried plantain and a jug of fresh tamarind juice, I browsed the guest book. Most of the entries extolled the delights of sleeping to jungle sounds, eating fresh local foods, and conversing with the wonderful staff.
I was, however, haunted by one brief entry which read, "I survived".
I returned for the night to my hot Cabana, and showered under the cool, rain-fed tap half expecting a tarantula to drop on my head. As it turns out, the shower is communal, but so far my only bath mate has been a frisky tree frog, who makes comic splats as he careens from wall to wall. In equal measure distressed and amused by bats, frogs, and the cryptic words of a guest gone by, I climbed into the sheets with a book. The attack of the bugs was immediate, merciless, and focused on my exposed head and neck and arms. Anxiety level rising and tolerance dropping, I switched off the light. The attacks continued through the night, but at a slower pace. At 4 AM, when the bats returned from carousing, something large landed in my ear. I jumped up to swat the wasp off the pillow, and was stung for the effort. "Be calm, Mike. In the morning, you can caulk and disinfect and reestablish a barrier between you and the vivid world".
Back in bed, I settled to the sound of light rain, which quickly escalated into a deluge. The rain continued to build until it overwhelmed the roof and began to drip on the foot of the bed, which I didn't sense until a volume of disturbingly rich brown water penetrated the sheets and soaked the mattress, giving notice to my toes. The wetness was trial enough, but when I realized that the exceptionally fertile juice that was leaking from the ceiling was a liquor of seasoned bat guano, I decided to leave the tropics and get back to the sanitary Swiss. But by noon the next day, the windows were sealed and the roof repaired, and patience and hope were restored.
This difficult night was a lesson about boundaries and the materials from which they are made. In the modern Swissotel, the boundaries are made of steel and glass and are impermeable. Air can not penetrate those defenses without mechanical aid. Here in the Oriente, the boundaries are made of wire mesh, whose gauge is small enough to keep out the large predators, but ample enough to let everything else penetrate the senses. I've adjusted to the scratching of bat feet, slowed my own pace to accommodate the heat and improved my bug management skills. And for the effort, I am getting a daily reward.
After finishing a lunch desert of sweet, tree tomatoes and sugar cane syrup that was made by Rita with the wicked laugh, I am currently sitting in a thatched, two-story viewing platform overlooking the Rio Napo. Two ants are crawling around the computer screen and three volcanoes, Sumaco, Antisana and Cotopaxi punctuate the river view. Earlier, a cartoon butterfly drifted up from the river on six inch wings of cobalt blue. A bird calls "whoo plop" in the distance and another one screams like a terrified child. Nearby, a Yellow-rumped Cacique is making a ridiculous, "loud, liquid schweeooo, with a downscale skeek, weer, and wrup"*. Black with school-bus-yellow back and rump, the Caciques dive from the cliff on which I sit to the island in the river below, where five women are slowly moving a net through the backwater for fish. It's hot, but not like yesterday, when my sweat glands opened like fire hydrants on the streets of the lower east side in July. The thunder has started up, and it's starting to rain.
It's stupid to romanticize the natural world since it would just as soon eat you as it would enchant you. So it's good to have protective barriers. But the energy intensive barricades that protect middle class Americans like me have become too isolating. Especially since the Bushies have shamelessly made fear the driving force in America. That awful first night in the Oriente was a tool, a blunt but effective one, that ripped a few holes in my defenses to let in a less filtered and more pungent life.

This is one of those easy go to recipes that a lot of us have on hand and use a lot.
The reason for me is because it is inexpensive, easy, and good.
If by any chance you have never given this recipe a try, which by the way can be found in many church cookbooks here in the South, then by all means give it a try.
I think you will find it pleases your family and you will see why it is one of my families favorite recipes.
I did alter the recipe slightly from the church cookbooks.They always called for corn flakes.I just like panko so that's what I choose.
I use thighs a lot and did in this picture, but if you like breast they work just as well.I also like skin and this is totally optional.To me the coating sticks better without the skin but I just gotta have my chicken skin.
Jodies Kitchen Ranch Chicken (oven baked)
4 chicken thighs
1/4 cup melted butter
1 package ranch dressing mix (1 ounce)
1 cup panko bread crumbs or breadcrumbs of your choice un seasoned.
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 375F and grease a 9x13 baking dish
In a large dish for dredging, combine ranch mix, panko and Parmesan cheese.Dip chicken into melted butter then coat each piece of chicken with the panko mix.Place chicken in oven and cook until done.If you have any left over coating just sprinkle on top of chicken before baking.The time will depend on size of chicken pieces.I cook mine almost all the way done, uncovered, then place foil on top to prevent burning (about the last 15 minutes of cooking time).

NEW WEBINAR >> How To Maximize The Biggest Opportunities After Reopening
- 2 Minute Read -
The traditional model of dental practice has doctors bending over the chair four, five or even six days a week. That's a lot of physical and mental strain that decreases the quality of life in what is regularly ranked as one of the two top professions in the U.S.
That practice model is driven by the need for a high volume of dental patients. In turn, that need exists because of how dentists go about marketing their practices – on low price, discounts, and insurance acceptance. It makes sense to take this approach because the prospects who are motivated by price and insurance comprise about 70 to 80 percent of a given market.
But lower average case value, which is what you get with run-of-the-mill patients, keeps you working too long for too hard for too little.
But what happens when you market to the other 20 to 30 percent of prospects?
A Different Proposition
Dentists who want to work less while earning more need to attract the better dental patients in their markets – the 20 to 30 percent of prospects who have the ability and willingness to pay more for the right dentist. You won't get them through low price or insurance.
Better patients are looking for the dentist who they regard as the likeable, relatable, and trustworthy expert to solve their dental problems. Within reason, they don't care what procedures cost. They're willing to invest in their mouths if they're assured of a great relationship with the dentist and staff, that they'll be well cared for, and that they'll have excellent outcomes.
Better patients are the key to working less while earning more. This is particularly true when you have a lucrative specialty that you want to promote – implants, cosmetic dentistry, or clear aligners, for instance. But even without promoting a big-ticket specialty, better patients provide excellent lifetime value to your practice. They're rarely one-and-dones; once they choose a dentist, they'll remain a patient for many years to come.
With better patients in your chairs, you need far fewer patients to make as much or more money as you're making now. Attracting better patients will require a complete shift in your marketing approach.
It's a Question of Positioning
Dentists today are assumed to be competent. There's no particular reason for a prospect to choose one dentist over another except for price, insurance, or location.
Your marketing has to work to make you stand out from the great mass of dentists. That's not an ad campaign or radio spots. You'll need to position yourself as the dentist of choice for prospects who are selective about who works on their mouths. That will almost certainly require a refocusing of your social media to build engagement while providing helpful information and driving them to your website.
You'll need to rewrite your website copy and promote a free offer to capture prospects' email addresses. You'll need a series of emails for each dental condition that you want to emphasize, sent out at carefully-timed intervals.
That's a lot for a busy dental practice to accomplish, and most won't have the bandwidth.
The SmartBox Solution
SmartBox works with more than 550 dentists on three continents. We provide a steady stream of better patients so our doctors can focus on doing the dentistry. Many SmartBox dentists are finding that they can significantly reduce their hours in the practice while earning more.
Dr. Ron Receveur of New Albany, Indiana, transformed his practice by becoming the regional expert on dental implants and hiring an associate to handle the general dentistry side.

I think it's time for an update on those cranberry mince pies I made 3 years ago.
This is the mincemeat I've used for the past few years and nothing will persuade me to part from it (yet!), but I have grown out of the phase where I think public figures are infallible, their creations and ideas unimpeachable. In other words, I have tweaked Nigella's recipe to fit my own tastes. I don't usually have any butter or cream with my pies so I wanted something just that little bit sweeter to eat alone. I'm quite happy with the results this time round–it was terribly easy to eat one after another.
If you want something different from the usual mincemeat that is also vegetarian and alcohol-free, consider trying this. It's richly spiced with a balanced sweetness and tang – distinct enough to stand on its own merits rather than be a paltry substitute. The fresh cranberries and dried fruits make for a good texture, I think: dense yet yielding, none of that strange, challenging goo. I've halved the amounts and pared down the ingredients list a little but feel free to substitute to fit your needs. This makes enough for about 12 – 18 mince pies depending on the size of your cutters/trays. Mine were about 2 inches (5 cm) across the top. I would recommend not going over 1 – 1 1/2 teaspoons mincemeat per pie, it's a very intense filling, just cover the base of the pastry cases.
Adapted from Nigella Lawson's Star-Topped Cranberry Mince Pies
Makes ~175g mincemeat; a smallish jar enough for 12 – 18 mince pies depending on size. Easily scaled up if you wish; in the UK, cranberries generally come in 300g bags.
Keeps for a week or two, very well sealed in the refrigerator. This isn't something which keeps quite as well as traditional mincemeat, but can still be made in advance.
75g soft dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) red grape juice
150g fresh cranberries
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon mixed spice
2 packed tablespoons raisins, sultanas, or currants (or you can delve into some mixed fruit)
2 packed tablespoons dried cranberries
Zest and juice of 1 clementine
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 – 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
In a small saucepan over a medium heat, dissolve the brown sugar into the grape juice. Add the fresh cranberries, cinnamon, mixed spice, all of the dried fruits, and the zest and juice of the clementine. Bring to a moderate simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring and pressing gently until the fresh cranberries have burst and the mixture is a fragrant, thick, coarse paste with only a little liquid left.
Off the heat, stir in the vanilla extract. Taste the mincemeat; if it is not sweet enough, mix in honey by the spoonful and taste until it's just right to you. Store in a very clean jar. Once cool, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
For the pastry itself, I'd echo Felicity Cloake's recommendation of using crumbly shortcrust with added ground almonds. But if you enjoy tender, flaky pastry, then Nigella's original would be right for you.
For about 12 – 18 star-topped mince pies
125g plain flour
1 tablespoon ground almonds
Good pinch of salt
75g very cold butter, cut into cubes
Cold orange juice or water, about 50 – 75 ml
Mix the plain flour, ground almonds, and salt. Working quickly with either cool hands or a pastry blender, add the cold butter to the flour and combine, rubbing or cutting until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. If anything feels sticky or warm, rinse your hands in cold water and stick the pastry bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes before continuing.
Bind the pastry using either orange juice or water, gradually sprinkling it over 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing very well with a round-bladed knife until it all just clumps together. Press it together into a ball, wrap and chill for 1 hour. Use as directed.

kitchen remodel: 1927 Mission Revival bungalow
The original kitchen was a mess: inaccessible and unuseable countertop areas, no dining area, very little prep space, dark and without nearly enough storage.
The new kitchen triples the usable countertop area, doubles storage, brightens the room up substantially and makes it seem far larger - without moving any walls. We needed a modern cook's kitchen without having it clash with the rest of the house, and I think we succeeded.
The green hanging glass light fixture comes from Bruck Lighting; the beautiful green glass mosaic tile from Hakatai up in Ashland, Oregon; the enormous, apron-front stainless sink - big enough to bathe a small child in - from Lavello Sinks. The cabinet hardware is from House of Antique Hardware (the cabinet pulls are actually winow sash lifts, mounted sideways), and the faucet is from Delta. The cabinets are an inexpensive model from KraftMaid and the stone is from a local fabricator and installer. The floors are a solid-plank bamboo, and the color matches the original oak hardwood in the rest of the house.
The green motif matches Jineui's large collection of Jadeite plates, cups and bowls, some of which might be visible in certain photos.

Bradley Cooper once lost out on role due to lack of sex appeal
Bradley Cooper once lost out of a big movie role because it was decided he "wasn't f**able".
The 43-year-old actor is one of Hollywood's in-demand men following his acclaimed performances in movies such as 'American Sniper', 'American Hustle' and 'Silver Linings Playbook', and he has created an Oscars buzz with his directorial debut on his remake of 'A Star Is Born' - in which he also stars.
Cooper is proud of how far his career has come as he's always felt like an "underdog" in the movie business and even had his sexiness questioned when he was starting out.
In an interview with W Magazine, he revealed: "I've always been an underdog. I was always operating under the lens of not really being seen as the 'main guy.'
"I've heard it all in my career. Early on, I didn't get a role because they said I wasn't 'f**kable.' In the end, you have to reserve your attention for the work and not listen to anyone. People I care about, who care about me, told me not to direct 'A Star Is Born', said that it would be too difficult and I should start with something easier. Luckily, I didn't listen. I loved that it was really, really hard to make this film. Otherwise, it wouldn't have the same value. And that's always been my goal: to make something, no matter how challenging, that will be remembered."
As well as directing and starring in 'A Star Is Born', Cooper also co-wrote the script, contributed to several of the songs in the movie, was responsible for casting Lady Gaga as the leading lady and oversaw every detail of the production.
Cooper has been keen to branch out from appearing in front of the camera for some time as he believes he has nearly played every great role available to him.
He explained: "I always thought I had six characters in me, and I've already played a few of them. I've been a soldier ['American Sniper'], a musician ['A Star Is Born'], a chef ['Burnt'], and a disfigured person ['The Elephant Man']. I still want to play a conductor. And then who knows?"

Amazon.com briefly became America's second trillion-dollar company on Tuesday after adding $434bn to its market cap this year.
No one has benefited more than founder Jeff Bezos, who has added $67bn to his fortune this year, giving him a $167bn net worth on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index as of 12:30 p.m. in New York on Tuesday.
Here are six ways to put that $67bn gain into context:
1. It's more than the entire market capitalization of FedEx Corp.
2. Bezos's gain this year alone would make him the seventh-richest person on Earth, ahead of Mexico's Carlos Slim and Alphabet's Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
3. It's about the equivalent of Walt Disney Co.'s blockbuster bid for most of the assets of 21st Century Fox.
4. His wealth has increased by an average of about $8 million an hour in 2018.
5. It's roughly 10 times Amazon's total net income since it went public in 1997.
6. The 499 other billionaires on the Bloomberg ranking have added a net combined $8.3 billion to their fortunes this year.

Does Hypnotic Weight Loss 'Surgery' Really Work?
By Pat Ferguson / Source: HamptonRoads.com
Hypnotic motivational guru, Paul McKenna swears he can help 7 out of 10 people achieve sustainable, permanent weight loss through the power of hypnosis.
Dr. Oz recently interviewed McKenna, presented compelling testimony from his followers who swear by the outcome: After eating only a small portion of food, the feeling of fullness followed by some nausea and pain (akin to bypass surgery) were common occurrences for those who went through hypnotic therapy for weight loss.
"When they change on the inside they change their behavior on the outside" is the simple answer to why hypnosis seemingly works for some. McKenna even has a way to accelerate a slow metabolism through the power of suggesting pleasant and desirable thoughts while linking those thought to some form of physical exercise.
You simply cannot force your body into changing when you've not committed your behavior to follow suit. They may help you to start along the path to recovery (and some will need that start), but they never will replace behavior or permanently control it. Hypnosis might help you "change" your way of thinking, but behavior modification therapy, prayer, meditation and self discipline (learning to say no), along with educating yourself to know more about nutrition can do just as much.

"I'm thrilled to be chosen by the Canadiens, but I really didn't expect it," admitted Pacioretty, who was invited to Montreal last Wednesday for testing with other prospects for this year's draft. "Even though I thought I tested well, I didn't think they would end up picking me. I couldn't believe it when I heard my name."
If comparisons are any indication, the Canadiens may have a special player on the horizon.
"I've been sometimes compared to Keith Tkachuk," revealed Pacioretty. "I like to play physical and I give it all I've got whenever I'm sent out on the ice. My goal is be a fan favorite so I can fire up the crowd and bring that energy to my teammates."
The native of New Canaan, CT turned it on in the second half of the season, bolstering his draft day stock.
"Early in the year I had some great games on some nights and I was invisible on others," admitted Pacioretty, who saw his NHL Central Scouting ranking among North American skaters rise from No. 23 to No. 16 this season. "I knew I had to be more consistent and that's what I did. I'm just proud to have been chosen in the first round."
Canadians management had this to say about Pacioretty:
The Canadiens' Director of Player Recruitment and Development was just as giddy about his second first-round pick on Day 1 of the 2007 draft, Max Pacioretty.
"This is a player with all kinds of power and strength," said Timmins of the 6-foot-2, 203-pound winger. "He's also got all kinds of intangibles going for him. And he's not only got the size, he also got excellent ability."
When the dust settled after the opening round Friday night, the Canadiens had stuck to their pre-draft game plan.
"We made it clear that we were looking for players who had size, were powerful, talent and had character," reaffirmed Timmins. "And that's exactly what we've done by drafting McDonagh and Pacioretty.
"We're also pleased to see that they've enrolled at excellent schools for next year," added Timmins. "Both Wisconsin and Michigan produce very good hockey players. We also know that both of these players will benefit from great physical conditioning coordinators who will ensure their proper development."
Pacioretty will be going to Michigan.

It turns out that the Daily Caller reporter who posed a question to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney — is a junior in high school.
Gabe Finger, who is a junior at the Potomac School in Maryland, questioned Carney about reported death threats against George Zimmerman and his family, following up by asking if the family is "on their own."
"You can editorialize all you want, and I'm sure that you will," Carney responded. "But that is a ridiculous statement."
Finger, who told POLITICO that he is 16 years-old, posted the tweet below soon after the exchange.
According to Jennifer Epstein of POLITICO, while "students interning at news organizations are often brought to the White House briefing, it's rare for them to ask questions, and even rarer for [a] high schooler to get a question in."
Watch the exchange in the video below.

Just acted like a jerk. Word.
Typical right wing bloviator, hasn't graduated from high school.
Not every question is worthy of being uttered.
I wish I could just write him off as lacking maturity and the wisdom that comes from experience, but I'm afraid that is not the case here. I have dealt with this sort of snot nosed little Brown Shirt before. They are indoctrinated at home to show no respect to anyone who does not toe the Teapub line. I have had 15 to 18 year old punks like him call me vile names because I am a "Communist Fascist Socialist POS", they do not learn that at school, they learn that from home. When I was that age nearly everyone no matter what their political bent was taught their children respect for their elders even if they disagreed. I hate to think what would have happened to me if my father ever heard that I had spoken to a 64 year old man that way when I was that age. Today we have Teapubs TEACHING them to do it!
Jay Carney doesn't seem very angered. Maybe slightly irritated for having his time wasted…
Angered Jay Carney? Lmao. I doubt Carney will even give that little boy a second thought. What a stupid question. I love how righties always believe that Obama's in charge of all things, right down to the local level.
If little Gabe thinks that's anger, I pity him the day he learns what anger really is. Carney showed no more anger than if he was swatting a fly, which was pretty much what he was doing.
Gonna regret this later in life. Derp.
I think he meant to tweet: "Just made ass of myself in front of future employers. Owned."
It's not the President's job to order protection for individual Americans. (And even if it were so, you know the folks at FOX would manage to put a negative interpretation on anything Obama did.)
A high school student is about the only person the completely inept Jay Carney could "school". It's like bragging about beating your 5 year old at basketball. Tim Russert would have eaten him alive! I really miss him!

Marvel Studios delivers its latest comic book superhero film with Captain Marvel. While multiple heroes at various publishers have carried the moniker Captain Marvel, the new Marvel release showcases the Carol Danvers version, who ascended to the role in the comics some years ago. Brie Larson steps up to the plate to lead this sci-fi action-adventure and Carol's journey of self-discovery.
The film opens with Carol, going by the name "Vers," working for an elite Kree military unit called the Starforce, led by Vers' strict mentor, Yon-Rogg (Law). By the way, the Kree are the blue-skinned aliens who popped up a bit in Guardians of the Galaxy and some episodes of Agents of SHIELD. This is the first major cinematic depiction of this Marvel mainstay alien race and the Kree's home planet of Hala. Vers is haunted by memories of a past she does not remember, and Yon-Rogg attempts to teach her to shut out her emotions and how to maintain control of her photon-based energy powers.
At the start of the film, the Kree are embroiled in a bloody, inter-galactic war with a race of shape-shifting, green-skinned aliens called the Skrulls, who formally make their MCU debut here. During a combat mission, Vers is sent in to retrieve a Kree spy contact, but he turns out to be a Skrull infiltrator, Talos (Mendelsohn), who knocks Vers out and takes her captive.
The Skrulls' advanced mind technology is trying to uncover clues from Vers' past, showing her as a fighter pilot in a devastating crash on Earth. Apparently, Ver's memories are the key to locating something that's extremely valuable to the Skrulls. After forcing her way out of Skrull captivity, she crashes on Earth, which looks to be ground zero for the Skrulls' next infiltration.
Vers' pursuit of the Skrull infiltrators puts her in contact with younger SHIELD agent, Nick Fury (Jackson), who becomes an unlikely ally for the Kree hero in order to stop the Skrulls. The Skrulls are an incredibly dangerous foe who have the ability to take on the shape of anyone with whom they come into contact. With Ronan the Accuser (Pace) wishing to cleanse the Earth due to its Skrull presence, Vers must unlock the clues of her past in order to save the planet.
Captain Marvel is not the best MCU installment, but it doesn't need to be. It does its job fairly well, and it's anchored by a good performance by Brie Larson, who asserts herself well in a superhero role. She has good charisma and presence as this character. Brie Larson's Carol Danvers is given a very layered character arc, where Carol truly comes full circle and unlocks her full potential.
Ben Mendelsohn is the other standout member of the cast here as the Skrull spy, Talos. Mendelsohn is clearly having fun here, and this is a good role to utilize his talents. Mendelsohn as Talos is given some nice moments to showcase his own layers as well.
While this is the formal introduction of the character for the MCU, it doesn't start things from the very beginning of Carol's story. Things pick up quite a bit later. The story starts with Carol already in the role as a Kree soldier enlisted in an elite paramilitary unit. As a result, the film is able to avoid much of the typical obligatory superhero origin story trappings. The narrative isn't as focused on establishing Carol's backstory bit-by-bit from the beginning.
Without giving much away, significant changes are made to the Skrulls in service of their MCU cinematic adaptation. The changes made to the Skrulls and other characters are a bit underwhelming. On one hand, introducing the Skrulls over 10 years into the MCU is a big can of worms. Joss Whedon ultimately avoided using the Skrulls in The Avengers. From a narrative standpoint, the Skrulls present a lot of logistical problems, especially for a movie that's set in the 1990s before the events of Iron Man, The Avengers, Thor, etc. With that in mind, changes for the Skrulls were probably necessary, but the changes here are still rather irksome.
Another big change is made to an important character of Marvel lore. It's not the first time this type of change has been made to the MCU. Looking at the breadth of Marvel TV shows and movies in the last decade, these specific types of changes happen a lot. It was clearly done in service of Carol Danvers being the MCU's definitive Captain Marvel, whereas in the comics, multiple people have carried that title before her. Carol Danvers became Ms. Marvel in the 1970s and wouldn't become Captain Marvel until 2012. The big problem with the character who has been altered for the sake of the Captain Marvel film adaptation, is that due to the character's importance to Carol's own backstory, this character really needed to be fleshed out more.
Clark Gregg makes a welcome return as Phil Coulson, his first outing as the character since 2012's The Avengers. Unfortunately, this is pretty much a waste of Gregg and Coulson, who has little to do over the course of the film. It's a disappointing bit part at best, and Coulson easily could've been cut from the film. It would not have detracted from the story at all.
The visuals for Captain Marvel are a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the effects look really impressive. This is big action-packed adventure with a lot of smash-bang CG-laden fights. Most of them look fairly good. However, there are some moments in the third act where the CG animation appears rather rough and unfinished. Last year's Black Panther had some similar issues in terms of the visuals.
Unfortunately, villain-wise, the film is a bit lacking. Ronan could've maybe served as a stronger antagonist. Hands were likely tied due to the fate Ronan would later meet during the events of 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy.
The 1990s period setting imbues the film with a nice unique flavor. Multiple set pieces are built around how different things were back in the 90s, as weird as it might seem to now realize that a film set in the 1990s is a period piece. This also comes through in a 1990s-laden soundtrack that's very much a part of the film's identity.
Overall, Captain Marvel is a satisfying, fun action-adventure fans have come to expect from Marvel. Pacing-wise and villain-wise, it is still a bit lacking. It's a good showcase and establishment for the Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel character, who is obviously going to be seen again very soon.

Will This be Marijuana's Boom Town?
Destination & Tourism Janeen Christoff August 07, 2017
Will California be the next marijuana paradise?
Yes, if American Green has anything to say about it.
Nipton is—and has been—a strategic outpost on the California/Nevada border since the Gold Rush. The town was established in 1905 as a railway pit stop. Not long after, gold was discovered in the area, though it never truly flourished. The tiny town was home to just a few buildings, a hotel and a general store.
Now, Nipton could truly realize its full potential—not as a Gold Rush-era ghost town, but as a hub for the soon-to-be booming weed tourism that is about to descend on California.
"The cannabis revolution that's going on here in the U.S. has the power to completely revitalize communities in the same way gold did during the 19th century," said David Gwyther, president of American Green, in a statement.
Gwyther hopes the town, which American Green purchased for $5 million, will be part of what he has dubbed the "Green Rush"—the impending tourism boom that is coming to California when marijuana becomes legal in the state in early 2018.
Four states voted to legalize the recreational use of marijuana during the last election. In conjunction with other states that already allow the use of recreational weed, one-fifth of the U.S. population now lives where marijuana is legal, despite the fact that the federal government still deems its use as against the law.
American Green's plans to transform Nipton into a cannabis paradise.
The company purchased 120 acres around the city, including a hotel, a general store, mineral baths and more—all with the idea of converting it into a top marijuana destination.
There are other "green" strategies at play as well. American Green also plans to take Nipton off the grid after purchasing a solar farm, which it intends to use to completely power its new marijuana outpost. The company also hopes to develop the town's existing aquifer for water usage.

American Green wasn't the first company to dream of taking this place off the grid, however.
Gerald Freeman, the town's previous owner, purchased Nipton more than 30 years ago. A miner from Malibu, California, he owned Nipton when it was merely a ghost town on the California/Nevada border. His dream was to use renewable energy to power the town, then inhabited by between 30 to 70 people.
"The more independent we can become of outside resources, the better," Freeman told the New York Times in 2014. "I've been conscious of the global warming issue since my early days in school. It's only now beginning to be so much part of the present day. People are slow to adapt to an oncoming reality."
Freeman originally purchased Nipton for its outstanding natural resources, including a Pleistocene-era underground lake that had an abundance of water. In addition to its history as a Gold Rush outpost, the town also played a part in the silent movie era. The hotel hosted Clara Bow, who owned a ranch nearby.
Freeman has since passed away, and his wife sold the town to American Green when it became too much to manage.

New Market Research Report: UK Fashion Multiples
Recently published research from Verdict Research, "UK Fashion Multiples", is now available at Fast Market Research
Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 10/23/2013 --Overall expenditure growth in 2013 will be slightly lower than 2012 at 2.5%, due to easing inflation and a poor H1. However, volumes will pick up in H2 and inflation will stick around with more consumers trading up for added value. This report highlights which sectors are forecast to achieve the highest growth over the next five years and how the premium sector will outperform the midmarket.
Scope of this Report:
- Attain a better understanding of what opportunities remain from the online channel from our online expenditure forecasts and consumer survey data

View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
Report Highlights:
The menswear market will outperform all other clothing markets in the five years to 2018. Interest in style and fashion trends has become much more apparent among males, driving volumes and expenditure growth. This is therefore an area of the market fashion multiples should be focusing on for added growth over the next five to 10 years.
The swelling number of lifestyle brands and the attractiveness of their offer will drive growth in the premium market, with its share of the market rising more than the value and mid market segments in the five years to 2018. Premium lifestyle brands such as Joules and Boden will satisfy the demand for buying good quality pieces for the family
With opportunities for market share growth in the UK becoming more restricted, we expect more fashion players and lifestyle brands to target overseas markets - both in Europe and further afield. Markets with most potential over next five years include Poland, Germany and the Nordic region while Eastern Europe is also becoming more attractive
Reasons to Get this Report:
- Which clothing sector should I focus on over the next five years to achieve market share growth? Which sector offers me the fewest opportunities?
- Which European markets should I target for international expansion? Which countries outside the EU remain unsaturated and provide opportunities?

There's a reason Cappy's restaurant on Broadway is still going strong after four decades. Lots of them, actually: a charming two-level space like a luxury barn loft, a strong cocktail and wine bar and a mutual adoration shared by staff and longtime customers. It's like an Alamo Heights supper club.

She struggles against
The weight of the world
The expectation –
The waiting
For someone to notice
For someone to see
But she is left wanting
And alone.
She takes no comfort
There – in her reflection
For though she
Knows the story
Of furled brow
And her lost smile
She knows the purpose
Of each wrinkle and scar
Self-assured, and content
She knows her own story
But others only stare
And think they know.
They look with eyes
That condescend
That pretend to know her well
Sum up and define
For it is easy, isn't it?
What makes that brow furl,
Could it be perhaps her choices?
Oh yes, we know
Unhappiness lay at her feet
For she strove to seek
Its weary ways
Yes, that must be it!
And yet, they shall never know
It is not her life that makes her unhappy
It is their reflection of her
That unsettles her heart
And though it touches her not
Nor changes her meaning,
Her heart fills with sadness
For their reflection of her
Can only portray
The reflection of
Their own hearts.

Regardless of Guarantees to Cut Down, Fed and State-Federal Governments Press Possession Forfeits
A three-time Rotary Club "Ambassador of the Year," Alabama car dealership Jamey Vibbert was a hometown hero– up until being branded a felon. His supposed criminal offense: selling 2 cars apparently acquired with drug money, which in the eyes of an Alabama district attorney made him a money launderer, guilty of "taking filthy money.".
Vibbert was detained on June 24, 2015, and $25,097 drawn from his savings account. His mug shot was plastered in the local paper and Facebook accounts. His $2 million-a-year business was out-of-business. " No one wished to purchase from us," Vibbert informed Fox News. "People whispered, 'You purchase from them, you go to prison.' It cost us our business.".
With his credibility in tatters, Vibbert left of the Rotary Club, fell back on house payments and stopped going to church. He would go on to deal with 2 different legal procedures: a criminal trial on title scams charge, and a different, associated with civil possession forfeit.
Although he wasn't guilty.
' It cost us our business.'.
– Jamey Vibbert.
" I didn't do anything incorrectly," Hibbert stated, who was cleared of charges in January 2016. Numerous court looks, costs and headaches later, he was last able to get his $25,097 back. It cost him $300,000, his business and credibility. Vibbert's case isn't really a separated one. Reports of civil possession loss abuses have spread out throughout the United States at disconcerting rates.
Pitched to the public in the 1980s as a legal way to take the ill-gotten gains of drug kingpins, critics say civil possession loss has progressed into a corrupt, revenue-generating opportunity for police to pursue people implicated of low-level criminal offenses, or in many cases, no criminal offense at all. The payment structure of possession loss produces a strong reward for police to start these procedures, the critics argue.
Authorities are empowered to take themoney and other properties based upon apossible cause that it remains in some way linked to criminal activity– even if the person is not charged with a criminal offense. A nationwide research study found 60 percent of the 1,400 community and county companies surveyed throughout the nation counted on forfeit revenues as an "essential" part of their spending plan.
And while anybody can have their properties taken under civil forfeit, the concern is felt most greatly on the financially susceptible, according to a new examination from Alabama Appleseed and the Southern Poverty Law. The findings also indicate racial variations. "As is usually real in the American criminal justice system, the law itself may be color blind, but that does not ensure that enforcement is," according to the report.
Mobile Attorney Chase Dearman has represented more than 50 people in civil forfeit cases. In one case, Dearman stated authorities took 10s of countless dollars from a black guy who had just cashed a $100,000 check from a worker's payment settlement. Cops stopped the guy, found controlled substances and stuff on the property, and took his money. They also took a coffee table, 2 paintings, tv,and the male's fiancée's sunglasses.
" I have never ever had a Caucasian customer who has had a narcotics officer loosen the TVs from their walls and take them out the front door and seize them," Derman informed SPLC. "However, it is a typical event with African-American customers.". State district attorneys in Alabama submitted 1,591 civil possession loss cases in 2015. They battled to keep themoney, cars and other products taken by officers. "In many cases, those suspects were not charged with any criminal offense," SPLC composed.
The grab-happy practice might quickly be on its way out. In mid-January, Alabama Republicans Sen. Arthur Orr and Rep. Arnold Mooney submitted the Forfeiture Accountability and Integrity Reform Act that would get rid of civil forfeit and change it with thecriminal loss. If it becomes law, Alabama would be the 4th state to get rid of civil loss, behind North Carolina, New Mexico,and Nebraska.
Republican politicians have long slammed civil forfeit and have pressed back highly versus previous Alabama senator and existing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has backed the practice. " With care– we've gotta beware– and professionalism, we plan to establish policies to increase forfeits," Sessions stated in July.
That didn't agree with Sen. Rand Paul, who informed Fox News that in America, "you need to be innocent up until tested guilty and your house should not be taken without a court trial.". " The truth that Attorney General Sessions is going all-in on this truly stinks to a great deal of us who have been aiming to reform this circumstance," he stated.
The Justice Department preserves that when used correctly, civil property forfeit is an "essential tool" that assists "law enforcement defund arranged criminal offense, take back ill-gotten gains, and avoid new criminal offenses from being dedicated, and it compromises the bad guys and the cartel.". " Civil property loss takes the product assistance of the crooks and rather makes it the product assistance of police, funding top priorities fresh vehicles, bulletproof vests, opioid overdose turnaround packages, and much better training," a representative for the DOJ informed Fox News. "In departments throughout this nation, funds that were once used to take lives are now being used to save lives.".
