Dave thought it seemed like a good idea at the time; an invigorating hiking trek across the peak district with his best friend Kevin. It would help take his mind off all the relationship, family and work problems which had seemingly overwhelmed him of late.
But unfortunately, the trip which awaited him would only contain injuries, secrets, lies, ramen-style instant snack foods and incredibly clumsy metaphors….

That's because the default T9 Text input system doesn't support any of the common curses or slangs and the only option you have is to manually type in those words.

The "Teresa Collins".
We had the opportunity to explore the "Teresa Collins".
A retired fishing schooner.
This is the "forecastle" of the ship.
It is comprised of both the galley and sleeping births.
Fishermen were offered 3 hearty meals every day, and when fishing on the Grand Banks, a fourth meal was offered between 9 &10 pm at night. It was called the "Last Mug".
It struck me how difficult it must have been to sleep in the same room as the cook banging pots and pans about for meals.

Swimming marathon Vis-Split
After she became the first Croatioan woman to swim La Manche and after she conquered some of the hardest open water swims in the world, Dina Levačić wants also to write a history on a home turf.
The mythical distance from Vis to Split of 54 km that has been swam only by legendary Veljko Rogošić in 1975 was a challenge that Dina could not resist.
In addition, the above-mentioned swim, scheduled for July 28, for Dina will serve as "warm up" for what awaits her one month later, to continue Ocean's seven project and swim the Kaiwi channel in Hawaii.
The scheduled start is from the Vis's promenade at 4:00 am and the finish on the Split seafront is the same day in the evening around 20:00.

- That nobody really cares that its not Friday
- Elmer's glue. This puddle of white goo gave me endless hours as a child. Although I never stepped out of my comfort zone to actually eat it as some of my contemporaries were fond of doing at the time I did love lathering it on the palm of my hand, waiting for it to dry, and then peeling it off like an extra layer of skin. We use to collect these pre-body-snatcher creations in our pencil boxes. And yes, as an adult in retrospect I do find this gross. But at the time . . . J
- Silly putty and Sunday comics. Pressing down that pink creation and pulling up a mirror image of Garfield. Good times. Good times.
- Red toenail polish. This was an acquired taste I must admit. I've always grossed out by toes in general (in my opinion they are hideous add-ons). To date I'm slightly queasy but I can walk beside a friend or neighbor in sandals and resist the urge to find a fireman's axe to remedy the creation.
- Bling-bling. I love my bling-bling and living in Houston Texas allows me to fit right in. We love our bling from rhinestones on flip-flops to shiny dresses at a Jeans and Jewels gala event.

Before you read any further you need to understand a few things about me.
1) I have the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy.
2) I was raised with 4 brothers and despite their belief that they had nothing to do with the way I turned out they had substantial influence over me — the good, the bad, and the ugly.
3) I love Clint Eastwood and grew up on his westerns. He was Mr. blue-eyed-craggly-face long before Daniel Craig.
4) Number three has nothing to do with this post except that writing the phrase "the good the bad and the ugly" reminded me of watching Clint on our little rabbit-eared TV growing up.
5) I can neither confirm nor deny if I have ADD
6) Rats. I think I already spilled that mess of beans on earlier posts
I'm sitting here in the grocery store parking lot staring at a sign for Blue Rhino, the propane tank exchange company. I asked myself, where did they come up with the logo or name of blue rhino for a propane gas tank company? And then that little 12-year-old boy in me started to giggle.
Please re-read the disclaimers above. Producing blue flamers is a process of lighting flatulent gases on fire – or the gas of someone you are very comfortable with. This game is not for the timid as several factors have to be in play for a successful blue flame:
* Range: an extensive gas range is needed in the carrier. Without the proper propulsion, expulsion, volume and force the risk is only a disappointing flame but the probability of catching he carrier's pants on fire increases exponentially (not to be confused with the sentencing of a liar . . . you know . . . liar liar pants on fire . . .)
* Health risks: for the lighting assistant there is a high risk of noxious fumes, and while being so close to the source — while not necessarily toxic or fatal — can create feelings of disorientation and false impending death. This is not a risk for the carrier as it is a well-known fact that a carrier cannot sense the rancid, putrefying stench of his/her own gas. A carrier has — what is known in most blue faming circles as — immunity.
* Expectations: there can be a risk of disappointment, not only in the size of explosion but in the color, for although the "product" is labeled as a blue flamer the lit flatulent gas does not actually appear as the color blue. Historical records indicate that the name is derived from the natural gas that a carrier produces.
* Supply depletion: no gas from a chosen carrier. I believe producing the correct amount of gas as well as the speed necessary for a successful launch is as much an art form as it is a skill. While most human bodies will produce (and expel) a reasonable amount of gas in a given lifetime not all gas and gas carriers are created equal. Some must intake specific types of fuel in order for effective processing. Others are simply gifted with a faulty processing system that allows for a natural greenhouse effect to take place.
*Pyroflatulance, otherwise known as "blue darts" or "blue angels" are possible because of the methane, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen present when one breaks wind. Caution must be exercised or sensitive tissues can be singed, seared, or over cooked.
While I have never personally experienced nor witnessed the ignition of a blue flame I can thus neither confirm nor deny the existence of such activities. I can only attest to the attempt by my older brothers. (Lighting flatulent gases has been a novelty practice among the male species of our culture for decades and with the statistical current rate of human evolvement this practice will continue for many, many more.)

Mini Lifts, Face Lifts and Neck Lifts
The surgeons at the Center for Facial Cosmetics offer mini lifts, face lifts, and neck lifts.
Face Lift and Mini Lift
A rhytidectomy, commonly referred to as a face-lift operation, is designed to diminish the changes of the aging face and neck. The termfacelift is a misnomer, because the operation actually combines lifting of the face, neck, and temple regions all in one procedure. In some patients, a submental lipectomy may be performed in conjunction with a face-lift operation to remove excessive fat or folds under the chin. The surgeons at The Center for Facial Cosmetics use the latest minimally invasive technique to redrape the skin and recontour the face.
A "mini" facelift is a surgical procedure that reduces minor sagging around the cheeks. Our experienced physicians will work closely with you to help you determine the right solution for your needs and preferences.
Neck Lift
Excessive neck skin can be corrected by surgery, safely and with minimal recovery time. During a neck operation, sections of the skin are carefully trimmed and lifted into place. The lifted skin is then contoured to create a more pleasing neckline. Once properly contoured, the skin is fixed in place.

I don't know what's wrong with our ISP today.
first my lintas arta ISP forcing us to use their DNS server which – with all due respect – is crap, it has no stability, several times a day the dns is not working (failed to resolve domain names), the alternative is by using nawala dns 18.104.22.168 and 188.8.131.52, at least this one is stable.
but again, by limiting what dns we the end user able to use, it limit us from several features that our router has.
like our fortigate, it has its own dns server, that is linked with the web filtering feature. now with the limitation our government impose, we cannot use that feature.
and just now, i realize that telkom speedy already made restriction on their dns also, at least that is what i found out in our branch in manado.
and to make the matter worse, speedy also shamelessly impose "advertising page" (which was found out to contain malware ads not so long ago), whenever the dns server can't resolve the url (which is combined with the dns usage restriction, is hell for us user, since domain name is constantly adding and changing every second, with the limited resolving power of the "allowed dns server", the error page will continue to rise exponentially).
now for non gold user, speedy also imposing their own wifi on our device, without us knowing before hand. so instead our own wifi, they add their own wifi, so instead of one, we have three wifi in our device, making everyone with the range of the wifi able to use our line for internet. and in order for them to do that, they erase the configuration to disable the dhcp, which was there factory default.
now seems like "the straw that break the camel back", they continue to be the big boss of greed, by adding redirection to an absurd website:
what the heck is that?
i find this thing happened in surabaya. it redirect us tho that url, even though the url we type is right and available.
like when i type:
the url will be redirected as:
what the heck is that, are they so greedy they resort to all these way to fatten themselves?
anyhow back to topic, thanks to other "oppressed" speedy user, we found the resolutions.
first is by erasing the history of your browser, ie, firefox, chrome, all the same, delete all the history and cache.
second is by simply adding these two characters on the end of the url we type: ?/
for example, when we want to visit e-napza.pom.go.id page, we type it as:
hope this help…

After a disappointing year of corn returns, grain elevators eye their options
By: Diana Klemme – Courtesy of Feed and Grain Magazine
"Corn is King" — at least in most states. The United States has raised 126 billion bushels of corn in the last 10 years; soybean and wheat production together total just 54 billion bushels. There are only a few major states where corn production falls short of wheat or soybeans: Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Washington among them. Merchandisers and managers in most states consider corn their bread and butter and count on good returns each year from storage and drying revenue, along with basis appreciation. But returns on corn have been disappointing for many elevators this year, despite the 13.6B bushel crop.
Basis has been relatively flat in many markets for months, and shows negative returns since winter in some markets where production was largest. Many elevators have held onto hedged corn, waiting for basis to rise. After all, in years where supplies are plentiful, the market should pay a respectable carry! Maybe it should, but that doesn't always happen. Then the flood of farm selling in April added to the long basis positions. Ethanol plants and other end users weakened their basis in response. Now, in May, managers are eying the calendar and debating whether corn basis will weaken or strengthen this summer. But with the clock ticking, waiting for basis to rise cuts your available shipping window, even while farmers have more corn to sell.
Here's a recap of published spot corn bids for five markets on four scattered dates since early April. The markets include three ethanol plants, one river market, and one feedlot market. Two of the markets are in the West Corn Belt or Plains and the other three are in the East. I converted all bids to July futures using the May/July corn spread on the selected date(s).
The table shows that, so far, waiting since early April has produced minimal returns — if any. Some markets do show forward summer bids that are above interest costs; others do not. The best plan, in my view, is to get ahead of your competition; put offers in front of buyers and be ready to negotiate, whether or not you like the values. Even if basis does heat up later in the summer, many elevators would not be able to ship enough, fast enough, to clear out ownership before harvest arrives.
Summer basis will be influenced in part by each area's March 1 corn stocks and projected Sept 1 carry-out stocks relative to other areas. The U.S. corn carryout this summer will be around 1.8 billion bushels, the largest since 2004 crop. March 1 (2016) corn stocks were 7.81 billion bushels, the largest since the CCC days back in the 1980's, although not significantly larger than year-ago stocks. The additional bushels aren't distributed evenly, however.
Corn production was hurt in areas east of the Mississippi River, while Western areas saw some record yields, which is reflected in the stocks. Although corn stocks are down this year in Eastern states, they're still far above where March stocks were in 2013 after the short crop of 2012. This year Illinois, Indiana and Ohio alone had 650M bushels more corn on hand March 1 than three years ago. And several Eastern markets have brought corn trains in this year from the North Plains on special rail rates to bolster supplies. Other Eastern buyers were aggressive early on with strong summer (2016) bids that likely attracted a lot of forward purchases. There will be plenty of corn to go around this summer — even in the East — which doesn't bode well for basis.
Takeaways from 2015 crop
Maybe your 2015 crop corn P&L isn't terrific; that happens sometimes. After all, no one can force basis to rise, and the market doesn't owe you a profit. The challenge then is to protect every possible cent of what is available.
Mike, the country elevator manager at a Corn Belt location, asked himself that question. "My corn P&L doesn't look good so far, and I don't see the summer getting better. What could I have done differently?"
Our answer to Mike would vary by market. One task is to always monitor forward basis values as closely as spot bids. Be sure you don't automatically pass up selling and locking in good cash carries, assuming basis will be always be higher later.
Another area that can make a big difference is futures spreads. Every extra cent you can lock in on a futures carry is an extra cent for your P&L. The interest cost to hold corn is barely over 1½¢/ month; anything a futures spread pays above that helps defray other out-of-pocket costs or goes to the bottom line. Learn how to calculate Financial Full Carry on futures spreads, which is the theoretical maximum. Map out your merchandising plan before harvest and identify which futures spreads will be important to that plan. December/March is a key spread for most elevators; few firms can sell and ship before December all the corn they buy at harvest. Winter purchases typically make March/May important as well, to give merchandisers time to continue to liquidate ownership.
Chart 1 shows three key corn spreads from 2015 crop. They show that the best carries for each spread occurred well before the delivery month arrived. The biggest carry on Dec15/March16 corn came in September of 2015, for example. Waiting until after harvest to "roll" short corn hedges was costly; nearly 8 cents of the carry had vanished by November. Setting March16/May16 in December of 2015 wasn't the highest that carry traded, but at almost 7¢ it was close. May16/ July16 also hit its highest value in December of 2015, before narrowing 3 to 4¢. (Note: May/July collapsed on expiration day on 5/13/16 — far beyond the point hedgers needed to have rolled out of May futures.)
Chart 2 shows corn spread values for 2016 crop. None of them are especially attractive — barely 50% of Full Carry at their highest values so far. (Full carry on Dec16/March17 corn is about 17.3¢/bushel as of mid-May). Huge fund trading is impacting spreads in ag markets these days, where activity is typically concentrated in the first three to four futures months. (89% of all open corn futures contracts are in the first three months as of late May 2016.) At times, then, spreads can temporarily move contrary to market fundamentals, narrowing in the face of big stocks and another big crop, for example.
There is no crystal ball that will tell Mike or anyone else what day a spread will reach its highest carry or what that carry will be. Timing can vary year to year. But spreads are critical to a successful merchandising program, especially for "King Corn" where volumes are so large and clearing inventories takes months. Identify your holding costs, set spread objectives early, and have spread orders working. You might use Dec16/March17 at 11¢ carry as your starting objective, but review that weekly; circumstances change. Be willing to act when opportunity knocks.

July is peak season for potato leafhopper on Alfalfa. With the dry weather this summer, potato leafhopper populations have quickly increased. Every field of alfalfa I have scouted this past week has been at economic thresholds for leafhopper populations and corrective action has been warranted. I would encourage all our alfalfa growers to be vigilantly scouting their alfalfa fields for leafhopper pressure every 1-2 weeks – especially on new alfalfa stands.
Scouting methods and economic thresholds:
1) Perform 10 pendulum net sweeps in 3 to 5 areas of a field (dry and calm conditions).
2) Count the nymph and adult leafhoppers from each of the separate sweeps of 10.
3) Average the leafhopper counts from the 3 to 5 areas that have been swept.
4) If the leafhopper count is equal to or higher than the plant height in inches, corrective action is needed (example: 8" alfalfa has 8 or more leafhoppers per 10 sweeps, corrective action is needed).
Corrective actions:
1) Cut the alfalfa if it is at boot stage.
2) If alfalfa cutting is 7-14 days out, consider applying an insecticide such as Bathroid XL or Grizzly Too.
2) If recently cut, allow the alfalfa 7-10 days of regrowth and spray an insecticide such as Bathroid XL or Grizzly Too.
3) Be cautious of Pre-Harvest Intervals on applied insecticides (see label)
Other considerations:
1) For new or environmentally stressed alfalfa stands, consider adding a foliar nutritional such a Max-In ZMB along with Ascend plant growth regulator for increased plant vigor and regrowth.
2) If you have any questions regarding your alfalfa crop, please feel free to reach out to any of our Mercer Landmark Agronomy Staff for consultation and advice. We are here to help!

Soybean futures declined overnight on speculation that the hot, dry weather forecast this week won't be as bad as previously expected.
The outlook for the Midwest shows western areas cooler in the next six to 10 days, while rainfall in central and northwestern parts of the region will see rain showers that could improve soil moisture for corn and beans, said Donald Keeney, a senior agricultural meteorologist at MDA Information Services.
Still, dry weather will hit southwestern and far eastern areas of the Corn Belt, the forecaster said.
Corn is no longer the belle of the ball, as speculative investors last week held more bets on a price decline than a price increase.
Speculators in the week that ended on July 12 were net-short 5,886 corn contracts, the first time in almost three months they held more short positions than long, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission said in a report on Friday.
Money managers also cut bets on higher soybean prices to the lowest level since April 11, CFTC data show. Speculators lowered bets on higher soybean prices to 128,813 contracts, down from 142,037 a week earlier, the agency said.
The change of heart about corn and beans comes as the weather looks nonthreatening in the Midwest. Traders and investors have been betting for weeks that hot, dry weather would curb production in the U.S., but so far that hasn't happened. Rounds of stormy, wet weather have kept soil moisture up and prospects mostly positive.
As much as six times the normal amount of precipitation has fallen in much of the Corn Belt in the past two weeks, according to the National Weather Service.
Excessive rainfall in the southwestern quarter of Iowa have led to several flood watches and warnings in the area, according to the National Weather Service.
As much as 3 to 4 inches of rainfall have fallen already in the region, which increases the risk of floods along the Missouri River and its tributaries. Also at risk are counties in parts of extreme northern Missouri.
Along with the flooding, the area, along with much of northern Missouri, is under a heat advisory. Temperatures are expected to be close to 100˚F. with heat indexes topping 110˚F. Working outside is not advised.
Hot weather is forecast for much of South Dakota, Minnesota, and northern Iowa, where heat advisories are in effect.
Here are the key numbers from Tuesday's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates from USDA.
Corn: While production may be up by 110 million bushels in 2016/17, according to USDA, so are exports and usage. The agency projects old-crop ending stocks at 1.7 billion bushels, which is slightly below the average trade expectation of 1.806 billion. USDA's new-crop ending stocks estimate of 2.081 billion bushels also proved to be lower than the average trade forecast of 2.205 billion bushels.
Soybeans: Despite record acreage, a rise in exports and crush are keeping soybean supplies where the trade expects. USDA projects new-crop soybean ending stocks of 290 million bushels, which is just slightly more than the average trade guess of 287 million bushels. Old-crop ending stocks are projected at 350 million bushels, which is slightly less than the average trade guess of 352 million bushels.
Wheat: While wheat exports were raised to 925 million bushels, the highest in three years, wheat stocks continue to climb. USDA projects ending wheat stocks of 1.105 billion bushels, the highest level since the 1988/89 crop year. However, that was slightly less than the trade's expectation of 1.107 billion bushels.

Now is a great time to pull samples from those just harvested wheat fields.
Lots of growers have had great yields which in turn have lowered fertility levels.
Mercer Landmark's "YIELDMARK" precision ag system looks at your soils in a very in-depth way. In two acre grids or zone management grids.
We have the flexibility to tailor your fertility needs on your farm for N-P-K plus micronutrients.
Micronutrients many times get over looked and yet they can be applied anytime spring,
summer , or fall. Micronutrient levels can be measured with soil tests or, as is more common these
days, with tissue samples of the growing plant for the needs at the time plants use them more readily.
Some common micronutrients corn, soybeans, and wheat use are:
- Zinc – Helps with root development and leaf and vascular growth with seed formation
- Boron – Aids production of sugar and carbohydrates
- Copper – very important for reproduction growth
- Manganese – Helps breakdown carbohydrates and Nitrogen metabolism
- Iron – Helps the formation of chlorophyll and to carry oxygen through the plant
There are many more micronutrients that plants use but which ones do you need in addition to N-P-K?
For these answers call any of your Mercer Landmark agronomy sales team and they will be glad to work with you and your agronomic needs.

When considering to post spray soybeans, you should look at weed size instead of the canopy of the soybeans. Every inch of weed height is robbing yield from your field and the bigger the weed is, the harder it is to kill. One weed in soybeans we don't think about to much is volunteer corn.Volunteer corn competes heavily with soybeans for water, nutrients and sunlight.
University studies show that 2 to 4 corn plants per 100 square feet can cause a 10% yield loss. If that is not reason enough to target this weed, volunteer corn roots provide a food source for corn rootworm larvae. Remove the food source and simultaneously eliminate any future eggs they might lay in soybean fields and reduce the risk of developing corn rootworm trait resistance.

The Youngstown State football team posted a 30-0 shutout over Robert Morris as the defense pitched its first shutout since 2012 on Saturday afternoon at Stambaugh Stadium.
The Penguins (1-1) were led by reserve quarterback Nathan Mays who came on to replace Hunter Wells on the first drive of the game. Mays completed 13-of-17 passes for 149 passes and his first career touchdown. YSU finished the game with 429 yards of total offense while holding the Colonials (1-1) to just 147.
The last time the Guins shutout an opponent was Sept. 9, 2012, against Valparaiso.
In the first quarter, YSU settled for a pair of Zak Kennedy field goals to build a 6-0 lead. Kennedy's first field goal was from 23 yards after a YSU drive stalled inside the RMU 10. The second Kennedy field goal was set up by a forced fumble on RMU's ensuing kickoff return. Sam McGuigan jarred the ball free and Terray Bryant recovered, but YSU settled for another Kennedy field goal, this time from 30 yards.
YSU extened its lead to 13-0 in the second quarter when Nathan Mays, scored on a 10-yard run with 11:43 left. The Guins moved the ball into RMU territory on two other drives. The first ended with a fumbled snap while the second was in the waining seconds of the first half when Kennedy tried a 56-yard field goal. Kennedy's kick had the distance, but was wide left as time expired.
In the first half, YSU had 227 yards of total offense while it held RMU to just 76, including 13 via the pass.
Kennedy's third field goal of game extended the YSU lead to 16-0 with 4:47 left in the third quarter.
YSU took control in the fourth quarter as the offense scored a pair of touchdowns. Mays found Kevin Rader on a five-yard touchdown pass while Tevin McCaster capped off the scoring with a 10-yard run with 1:29 left in the game.
McCaster carried the ball 23 times for 89 yards and a score while Christian Turner had 89 yards on 17 attempts. Alvin Bailey caught five passes for 76 yards to lead the receiving corps.
Kyle Hegedus had nine tackles while Justus Reed had three sacks to lead the defensive effort.

Happy to share an opinion piece by Deepak Kochhar, Founder & CEO, NuPower Renewables, one of the leading Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in the renewable energy sector. Kochhar has 20 years of entrepreneurial experience in the financial services and renewable energy sector.
India, faced with the challenge of a burgeoning population and the government's key priority area being rural electrification and 24/7 power supply, has witnessed remarkable increase in the share of renewable energy growing from 1% to 14% of the total generation capacity in last 12 years.
A slew of steps such as an automatic approval route, 100 per cent FDI being permitted in the renewable energy generation and distribution projects have seen the renewable energy sector growing in the country.
India has a current installed capacity of 44 GW of renewable energy with a major share being wind energy at 27 GW. Over the last decade India has added 156 GW in conventional energy and 31 GW of renewable energy; the share of renewable energy growing at 14% of the total generation capacity. A further transformation is expected as the Government has set the target of 175 GW from renewable energy sources by 2022.
Interestingly, as renewable energy sector made remarkable progress, with production increasing from 0.4% in 2002 to 5% to 6% in 2015, the share of wind energy is about two-third, and the balance is from small hydro, solar, biomass and water to energy and other sources.
With rapid urbanisation, India will have more urban centers and new generation capacity must be developed. Given concerns around increasing electricity prices in urban areas, renewable energy which has minimal cost inflation is the best suitable solution
From tax-credit driven investment to mainstream independent power producers (IPPs), the wind power sector has undergone a major shift in the country. This development has led to the setting up of large wind farms with deployment of latest technology and practices – larger MW class wind turbines, inclusive O&M practices for plant life, use of logistics tools for construction and maintenance, and seamless grid integration.
Further, the industry has gained from improvements in drive-train technology, tower structure and use of advance power electronics, which add to overall cost effectiveness.
It is an exciting phase for Indian energy sector. The renewable energy sector is contributing to the energy security of the nation, to global climate change, and is also saving foreign exchange for the country on account of coal import substitution.
With rapid urbanisation, India will have more urban centers and new generation capacity must be developed. Given concerns around increasing electricity prices in urban areas, renewable energy which has minimal cost inflation is the best suitable solution.

A haven of beauty products that we can only dream of having over in the UK
When I was in NYC, I ended up popping into a Sephora every single day I was there. I wish I was joking about this. I really do. But no. I went into a Sephora store every day. Trying new things, seeing what was available in different stores, and I eventually spent $250 in Sephora during my stay in NYC
Wow. $250. Seems like a lot of money! But totally worth it when the majority is products I can't get easily within the UK
So what did I buy?
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit for light skin
- 4 Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks (shades are Echo, Exorcism, Lolita and Witches)
- Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper
- UD De-slick setting spray (simply because I needed more)
- Nudestix Brow stylus & gel in Brown/Black
- Kat Von D Lock-it Concealer
- Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla (again, because I needed more)
In reality, I easily could have spent so much more money! But that would have been a bad idea for the rest of my trip haha
I wanted brushes, and Sephora's own range of makeup was to die for. I wanted eyeshadow palettes and ALL of the matte lipsticks. But I narrowed it all down to the small-ish range I bought as I would use these products on a day-to-day basis
The Cream Contour Kit is actually a birthday present for my little sister. So unfortunately, I will not be using this. I kinda regret not buying one for myself, but in honesty I don't know if I would ever sit down and take the time to contour properly. I don't think I am about the contour life!
ALL of the Kat Von D products I knew I wanted to buy before I got there. I just needed to choose which liquid lipstick colours and match my skin to the right shade of concealer. I had a lovely lass in Sephora help match me to my perfect Lock-it Concealer shade, and then I went about choosing my liquid lipstick shades. I initially bought 'Exorcism' and 'Lolita'. But on one of my random other trips to Sephora we ended up trying on a lot of liquid lipstick shades and I ended up buying 'Echo' and 'Witches' too. 'Echo' is this amazing deep blue that really compliments my blue gray eyes, and 'Witches' is just because I am a bit gothic and I LOVE black
The formula to these is amazing. So nourishing and they don't go flaky or dry your lips out, and they have real staying power! I just hope I don't over use these and run out soon. My favourite liquid lipstick to date
I have used the Nudestix brow stylus before because they sent me it when they released it, but they sent it to me in the shade for blondes. I needed something darker so I picked one up
I am yet to use the Kat Von D tattoo liner but I have heard some real good things about it. Hence why I picked it up! I need something with staying power as I get oily eyelids and end up looking like a panda sometimes
I feel like I managed a pretty decent haul whilst out there in NYC! I am off to Orlando in May also this year so it may be time to start writing a new list of goodies I want to get from Sephora
Is there anything I should get from Sephora that I have missed?

A questionable download
Any additional comments?
It may be partially my own fault that I was expecting something different when i purchased this audio series. I was looking for an intellectually stimulating discussion (/hearing) on evolution.
Personally, I grew up in the UK in a time where science and the scientific method is considered of utmost importance. In my primary school we were introduced to creationism and educated on a large number of popular religious around the world. From primary up until university level education we were taught about the most recent and relevant advances in science. They were taught as 2 separate subjects. Neither posing an implication upon the other. Whilst it was an interesting listen, I found myself at times almost aggravated at the idea that a hearing such as this should occur. This audio series is a testimony to the ever growing censorship of education by an overbearing parent population. Hearing the entire field of "science" questioned (moreover misunderstood), and the argument for creation being worthy of replacing scientific alternatives left me dumbfounded and content to have being educated in the system I was.
Interesting non the less

Think about the children
It's nice to see that the scientific community gave this fake debate the respect it deserved by not involving itself in something it has already spoken so clearly about. Even now Intelligent Design has yet to publish an article in a peer-reviewed scientific journal and the reasons are quite clear. Their arguments continually use the lack of evidence for one view as evidence for another view. Children in Kansas schools will be allowed to prove they have a monster in their closet because closet monsters do not hide under their bed, and they checked under their bed and there was no monster. And if the teacher questions this the child can say "but look it's here in my ID book and thats science"
Their quoted books and studies(non peer-reviewed) continually use unscientific concepts that simply sound scientific to a school board with a poor understanding of the associations ID exploits. For example ID relies heavily on measuring intelligence and information in a system, but information theory provides no scientific way to objectivly measure the amount of information or "inteligence" in a system (see Mismeasure of Man). Back to a kansas classroom example, let's say a child scribbles a note and passes it in class but the teacher intercepts it. The teacher finds a seemingly funny set of symbols on the paper that apear to be a pictogram making fun of the teacher, the teacher ,knowing her ID quite well, realizes that she can determine the information in the note and determines it's a note making fun of him/her. Of course the reality is that the student was merely tracing funny shapes found in their text book at random and there was no information relating to the teacher at all no matter how much it may have looked like it. But this is an ID school and that student is in big trouble.
So sure this might be worth a listen but be ready for some serious thinking becasue the pleasant-sounding lies abound.
Poor Kansas students, how can we help them?

Fools Like These
The University of Kansas, located 30 miles from the state capitol, did not have a single member of the faculty even attend any of these meetings. This university has a student population of over 30,000, is ranked among the top 10 land grant universities in the country, has graduated more Rhodes Scholars than ANY university west of the Mississippi River (incluuding podunk schools like Stanford, UCLA, CalTech, etc.). It was one of the original "backbone" universities of what became the Internet. It ranks in the top 10 of all universities in the number of incoming freshman with national honors scholarships.
The biology faculty at KU likely doesn't tolerate fools and has no interest, nor does any other academic or high school teacher in the state, in attending the school boaard's meetings which are open to the public and required to allow anyone in attendance to state their opinion. Is it not coincidental that not a single one bothered to even attend?
Listen to all four days of meetings. Try to find a professional who testifies other than some weirdo PhD from Kansas City who runs some sort of pharmaceutical comp;any and who states that his wife converted him into being a "born again Christian" (a phrase I suspect former President Carter would not appreciate). I've forgotten who the other niut is but the other guy actually sounds like he's making a reasonable argument and has been "featured" at all such gatherings in the past.
Don't believe everything you read.
Don't believe everything you hear.
Google this. Articles in the Harvard student newspaper are probably the most humorous.

And it's free! I especially enjoyed the interrogation of the ID experts by the attorney representing the state. My favorite was Dr. Jonathan Wells whose book, "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism And Intelligent Design," is available here at Audible. There are other terrific ID proponents testifying.

If you listen to only 1 day, listen to day 4
All 4 days of testimony were riveting, but the 4th day is most telling. It has the least scientific information, but the most information about the character of the two sides. The laywer representing "science" does his side no good by demonizing and belittling his opponents, and resorting to logic as little as possible. Essentially, evolutionary theory comes across as highly religious and unwilling to see evidence outside its paradymn of a closed-system universe. The appropriate response to such a challenge is to dispute it, or simply say that as of yet no closed system theory can explain the phenomenon, but ID is not a useful alternative. Instead, the "scientific community" comes across as dogmatic, elitist, and anti-science by maligning ID as Creationism, and boycotting any discussion that challenges their views.

How could this possibly be free?
I stumbled on this series by pure chance and decided that I have nothing to lose seeing that it was free. In short, it was one of THE most riveting audio renditions I have heard in a long time. It showed me that people who are tired of accepting neo-darwinsm as "just so" are far more numerous than the press would have us believe and that the current naturlistic explanations for the specified complexity we see around us is hopelessly inadequate.
I did find it disappointing but not very surprising that no proponents of darwinian evolution were prepared to partake in the hearings. I too would also have been reticent to appear on an international forum and attempt to defend my view if it was so utterly factually vacuus.
I believe everyone should take the time to listen to this series, especially those who believe, as I used to, in neo-darwinian evolution.
No too long ago the majority used to believe the earth was flat. The majority turned out to be wrong. It wasn't the first time that happened and it definitely wont be the last.
I believe that what happened in Kansas is just the beginning. If science claims to be science it must go where the data and the evidence lead and not be dogmatic by refusing to allow only some things and disallow others. If the only viable explanation for something appears to be non-naturalistic surely science should be open minded enough to accept it until and if a better naturalistic explanation comes along?
This series WILL affect you, no matter what you believe.
