The changing of the seasons is upon us once again and as the days get longer and warmer it seems an appropriate time to reflect on the winter that was.
The unseasonal rainfall played havoc both on land and water affecting water clarity, the prawn season and the ability to get a boat out of the front lawn without locking the hubs in! The long-range forecasters assure drier times ahead, only time will tell.
The reefs both local and further afield have had mixed results, but there are some good fish being caught. Coral trout, cod, cobia, yellowtail kingfish and a good run of mangrove jack have kept anglers content. Live baits are in high demand, with plastics being a good alternative when livies are scarce. Other captures include hussar, coral bream, trevally and snapper on squid, mullet, whole herring, yakkas and plastics.
Our local river systems are producing grunter, salmon and jew on live herring, yabbies and plastics. Bream and whiting are taking worms, yabbies and lures, and flathead will be all fired up as they shake off their winter lethargy in the warm water.
Golden trevally are working the flats in good numbers, shovel-nosed shark are prolific, and tailor, queenies and mackerel are still keeping the bait schools honest.
September is always a big month outside with sailfish numbers peaking at this time in previous years. Sailfish are the speedsters of the ocean with an uncanny ability to throw hooks. Trolling lures, baits and switch-baiting north of the 13 Mile down to the Sandy Cape will give you the best chance to pin a sail this month.
The Sandy Cape Shoals is also going off with spawning Spanish mackerel in size and numbers. Slow trolling garfish rigged on gangs is how the pros catch these fish, and for good reason!
Other pelagic species on offer include marlin, tuna, wahoo, shark mackerel, dolphin fish, cobia and if you get close enough to the reef, green jobfish, trevally and the dreaded barracouta.
Bottom bashing the many reefs and ledges outside has produced big reds, pearlies, trout, cod, cobias, jobbies and some huge snapper. Heavy mono and braid is mandatory in these parts to tame the fish and beat the sharks!Reads: 1001

Ahem ahem, look at what I managed to dig up from the library of forgotten photos.
If I didn't go through those hair transformation days I could probably pass this off as a fairly recent review / feature but alas, I still had my ash blonde locks when I snapped these pics (boy, do I miss that blonde… though it was such a pain to maintain).
Even though this mention is highly belated, given I have had this on hand for…forever, I have been giving Benefit's Gimme Brow a good amount of love across the blog and also on instagram because it is just so darn easy to use!
Before you close this window to run out to get it, let me explain why I like this because the instances that I use this are different from the times when I want a proper and defined brow shape.
So while I have been this teeny tiny tube (a little goes a long way I suppose), it does not substitute my beloved brow pencils and brow mascaras.
Right now, so here we go.
The first point, I should highlight, to deviate any form of shock or disappointment when you see this in person (assuming you haven't), is just how small and handy this tube is.
When I said teeny tiny above, I really mean teeny tiny!
Though small in size, this little tube does comes packed with an innovative brush-on fibre gel that seems to mimick the concept of brow hairs. It is quite intriguing because while it is a gel that helps comb and cling on to your brow hairs, it does deposit a little color on the skin as well, very much like filling in your brows, but done well so it isn't an intense glob of color on skin.
I know we all hate it when that happens with some brow mascaras…
Thus, the end product is actually very much natural.
I can't decide if this product is best for someone with a pretty good brow shape already or someone with barely any brows (such as I) becuase it seems to be between grounds – it fills the brows but doesn't perfect it.
So it really depends on what you are after but truth is truth, it will give you brows. Whether it be the sort of brows you desire, that is a whole different matter.
One thing I quite like about this cutesy little product is how small and precised the spoolie portion of it is. The small tip allows for easy control be it if you are combing brow hairs in place or drawing some on and possibly one of the reasons that makes this product work.
Benefit's Gimme Brow is so tiny and small in comparison to Shu's Brow Manicure.
See how Benefit's comes with a fairly precise tip too.
Available in 2 colors – Light/Medium and Medium/Deep – I wouldn't say it is the most versatile if you happen to have more golden or red tones in your hair because both shade offerings have a tad of ashiness amidst the warm brown.
Even Light/Medium can go on a little more medium than golden-brown so… those who fancy Japanese-esque blonde brows, these shades may not quite be for you. Though give them a chance, they can be quite pretty and introduce you to a lovely world of beige-brown brows!
The shade that I have and use is Light/Medium and I feel it works perfectly fine for me through blonde and brunette days.
Though I feel sometimes brow color is not only dependent on your hair color but also your skin tone and perhaps your choice of definition so… take my preference for lighter brows with a pinch of salt.
How To Use?
Becuase this product is quite a novelty, in that it draws on and combs your lashes at the same time, it could leave some wondering how to best work it.
Benefit does provide a quick guide on using Gimme Brow but generally, play around with this using short pressing motions (starting from your arch because it is okay to deposit most color there), brushing along your brow shape and with a couple of tries you should get the hang of using this.
The one little itty bitty thing about this product I don't quite like is, while precise in point for those with a narrow-er brow, it doesn't actually give you a precise brow shape.
There is only so much brushing on a brow with a fibre-gel formula can do and needless to say, it wouldn't be as sharp and defined as drawing on some brows with a firm angled brow brush or brow pencils.
Though, the thing is this product doesn't claim to give you a sharp clean brow line, instead it is said to give you "thick, lush arches" which it somewhat does as the fibres mimick the look of brow hair, giving you natural definition that isn't too precise, sharp or… well, unnatural.
Here's a little photo documentation of the varying steps of Gimme Brow's application.
Since my brows lack shape, I would usually have to do a little cleaning up after brushing Gimme Brow on, to give myself a cleaner and more defined looking border to my brows.
So after brushing it on and defining it a little, here's the end product (sans makeup on the rest of my face):
The end result is a very natural looking set of brows and if you are blessed with a pretty defined brow shape already, Gimme Brows could be perfect for adding some oomph and filling in the gaps!
If you, like me, have almost no brows to begin with – sparse fine hairs that hardly hold shape – what this does is to give you a very natural looking brow which is what we want sometimes on fuss-free weekends.
Because when you're running out bare-faced, sometimes overly defined and crisp brows just don't quite go…
And call me crazy but there's just something about having lush, full, yet not entirely neat brows paired with a fresh and relatively bare-face that appeals to me so much. It's almost as if somehow, in the perfect universe, you rolled out of bed and couldn't be damned with anything when actually I spent 10 minutes infront of my mirror achieving that look.
Incase you can't obviously tell what Gimme Brows has given me, here's a Before and After comparison side by side.
In a sense, this product isn't rocket science nor will it satisfy everyone out there but for me, I am extremely glad to have found this quick and fuss-free way to draw on (brush on?) some brows over the weekend when all I want is to frame my face yet not look like I actually bothered with makeup.
I love defined brows for more made up purposes but sometimes a natural way about brows has its own appeal.
Benefit's Gimme Brow retails for S$35 and is a permanent item. Available at all Benefit stores (and Sephora Singapore) island-wide.
Have you tried Benefit's Gimme Brow? What do you think of it?
Thanks for reading!

HT's Pune edition will be power-packed with over 50 pages of national, state and local affairs, entertainment and lifestyle and other specials. The weekend edition of HT Pune will have supplements, including HT Brunch everyô Sunday; Mint Lounge, the weekend edition of Mint, that will focus on art, food, culture, fashion, sport, music, etc., and HT Cafûˋ everyô Saturdayô that will redefine entertainment and lifestyle space in newspapers, daily.ô
HT will have Pune and its citizens at the heart of the paper, covering topics that affect them and are of interest to them. Right from the very first issue, the effort will be to foster the community spirit of Pune by including local stories which impact the city, day-in and day-out.
The launch will be supported by massive surround marketing activities to create buzz and excitement among readers. Digital will be the key driver to create launch awareness among the TG complemented with outdoor and print. Over the weekends, Punekars would also get a glimpse of HTãs on ground activation which celebrates the culture and tradition of Pune.
Bobby Ghosh, Editor-in-chief, Hindustan Times, said, ãWe are bringing a lot of history in this youthful city; rich and credible journalism and along with it our commitment and passion to bring to you the newspaper that the city has ever seen.ã
Rajeev Beotra, CEO, HT English, said, ãOur goal is to bring to you a paper that is community-centric, that captures the ideas, ideals and aspirations of Pune.

San Francisco State University President Leslie E. Wong announced Monday that the university will not use any its fund for students or employees to travel to Indiana.
"I am dismayed, if not extremely disappointed, in the recent legislation signed into law in Indiana," he said. "It is unconscionable for this great university to spend its resources in a state that attempts to legislate discrimination of any kind."
"By this note, I am informing the campus community that no San Francisco State University funds from any source — general funds or auxiliary — will be used to support employee or student travel to Indiana," he continued.
He said that the university is researching similar legislation reputed to be existent in other states to determine further action.
"As a member of the NCAA Division II President's Council, I will not attend a required meeting of the Council to be held in April in Indianapolis," said Wong.

With compulsory celibacy for the Catholic Church back in the news, it is pertinent to consider once again the example of Father Alberto Cutie, who responding to a public outcry when he was seen on a public beach with a woman – and on terms that were obviously more intimate than simply pastoral – by quitting the Catholic Church and joining the Episcopal Church instead, where he now continues to minister.
His case is obviously not unique: the Catholic Church has quite needlessly lost any number of good and valued priests who have found themselves forced by Vatican rules to make an artificial and entirely unnecessary, unscriptural choice between their vocation to ministry, and their human desire to live in a close relationship with a loving partner (male or female). In this piece at the Huffington Post, Fr Cutie asks the very important question: where are all these priests, "missing, gone or disappeared by the Church?"
One of the issues I address in my personal memoir, "Dilemma: A Priest's Struggle with Faith and Love," which has caused a significant degree of controversy among certain Roman Catholic circles, is the way the institutional church deals with priests. I highlight especially those moments of personal crisis when priests need the most support, from everyone in the spiritual family they grew up in and gave their lives to, and often find everything but support.Recently, I read "The Unexpected Life," a book by Monsignor Dale Fushek of the Diocese of Phoenix. The charismatic founder of Life Teen and organizer of Pope John Paul's 1987 U.S. visit describes his work with youth, shares his stories of the priesthood, his attraction to figures like Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa (an admiration we share) and provides a unique perspective when he refers to his work as Vicar General (a bishop's right hand) and pastor of one of the most prominent parishes in his local church. He served Bishop O'Brien of Phoenix, who also was ousted after a hit and run incident where a man died after being accidentally run-over by the bishop. I found it interesting that Father Dale avoided telling many of the "difficult" and "painful" stories in his life and in the lives of his brother priests, yet anyone who has been involved in the Roman Catholic Church, at any level, can certainly read between the lines.-read the full article at Huffington Post.

People often think that going through a divorce means that the odds your second marriage will end in divorce drastically decrease. They assume that you learned from the mistakes you made the first time around.
For instance, perhaps you got married too quickly -- before you really knew the other person that well. As you got to know each other, it became clear that you shouldn't be married, and you wound up asking for a divorce. If you get married again, you'll spend more time together before committing, so shouldn't you theoretically face lower divorce odds in that second marriage?
While this does seem like it makes sense on some levels, it is really just a common divorce myth. The reality is that second marriages end in divorce more often than first marriages do. Statistically speaking, you're more likely to get divorced that second time, regardless of what you learned in your first marriage.
This isn't to say that all second marriages end in divorce. Many people get married a second time and find the happiness they're looking for. But the statistics do not lie. Divorce is more common.
There are a lot of potential reasons for this, but one is simply that people who have been through divorce once already see it as a viable option in a way that some other couples do not. They understand that sometimes relationships just don't work. If the second one faces similar troubles, they may feel that it is time to move on.
This should not stop you from getting married again, but it does mean that it's important to understand all of your legal rights if you feel that second divorce drawing near.

I wasn't talking about the media, I was talking about the poltroon from the TPA.
Matt Sinclair had obviously done his homework - you don't conjure a number like 127 thousand out of thin air. So why didn't he stick it to Prentiss on air and ask him whether his union was lying on its official accounts or if he had just told a Grade A porkie live on air.
Silly little webvids that will be seen by a few political nerds online are useless, this has to be done on national tv.
The guy had the ideal opportunity to expose a lying toerag to an audience of millions and he blew it. Sadly he also blew a chunk of the respect I used to have for the TPA.

In one scene in the film Patton, the American general sits atop the escarpment along the Kasserine Pass, positive that the German mastermind Rommel will bring his armored divisions that way. Sure enough, a dust column appears among the rocks, and then the American officers watch as Rommel's Panzer tanks come around a bend and into view. Patton puts down his binoculars and shouts, "Rommel, you glorious bastard, I know what you're doing! I read your book!" That line displays a beautiful, intriguing combination of admiration and contempt. General Patton recognized Rommel's brilliance and learned much from his treatise, but at the same time he saw in that moment at Kasserine Pass Rommel's foolishness in sharing his tactical theories with the world before the big war.
Over the last month, I've read two classic books on strategy: Sun Tzu's Art of War and Aristotle's Topics. Both talk about war and attacks – Sun Tzu literally and Aristotle figuratively. Each makes it clear that his only goal is victory – Sun Tzu in the field and Aristotle in the debate arena. I have to wonder: if Rommel caused trouble for himself by publishing his wisdom on strategy, did Aristotle or Sun Tzu ever regret writing down their plans for everyone to read?
The books agree in even more specific details, too. Both authors explain that the successful strategist must be practiced in the basics. Aristotle recommends that the student of dialectic have a ready stock of arguments for common universal propositions, whereas Sun Tzu's book is all based around memorization of the four keys to success, the five faults, the nine types of terrain, and so on. Also, both authors instruct their readers on knowing when to concede. Sun Tzu advises letting the enemy into rough terrain that prevents easy egress, while Aristotle recommends that a debater concede any point that isn't relevant to his side.
One interesting parallel deals with deception. According to Sun Tzu, the whole art of war rests on deception: the feinting movement is the attack, and the frontal movement is the feint – unless your opponent understands the principle in which case the frontal feint may become the surprise attack! Aristotle, too, emphasizes the importance of obfuscation: never make your points in order, argue both sides of a question for a while so your opponent doesn't know which side you will end up on, and be sure to include some arguments that don't matter to your case all.
The authors agree that the greatest key to success is to know one's enemy. Know what he knows. Know what he expects. Avoid or concede to his strengths, and attack his weaknesses. And if your he's as smart as Patton, don't tell him your strategy.

I haven't said much about theme parks recently, even though that's where all the pain is taking place. It seems time for a Pain Bulletin. A really long one, sorry.
(Well actually I should briefly mention some pain not to do with study. A few days ago I had the left half of my thyroid removed, because it was something out of Lovecraft. Be blessed you know nothing of its dark and terrible nature, it is consigned to the flames of hell etc. They cut across my throat to get it out so I am sitting here looking like a Halloween mask. The days of vocals on stage are done, but that was always part of the plan.)
I am determined to make an major artwork based on research. It tells a story in virtual architecture – and architecture in itself is complex battleground. This story extends over centuries, it includes white supremacy, colonialism, surrealism, religion, the psych, notions of progress, pornography, midgets and freaks, kings and presidents… it is like swallowing a grand piano to play it.
I first understood an Orphic view of the fairground – that it is a combination and opposition of light and dark, yin and yang, Jekyll and Hyde. To attempt a purely 'light' version as did Disney, is an act of denial. He banned roller coasters and grog from his land – and they slid back into the vacuum the moment his personal power waned. It is better to employ the dark as a painter does, accentuating the light.
The makers of the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition learned this the hard way when the 'dark' settled around the perimeter of their bright white city – in the Midway Plaisance. They lost control of the booze and sex shows and – learning that it's better to piss out of the tent – they incorporated it inside as THE MIDWAY. A world fair now has two hemispheres – the WHITE CITY and the MIDWAY.
On reaching this Orphic view I read architect Rem Koolhaas's Delirious New York. At one point he introduces a mock battle between Salvador Dali and Le Corbusier for NYC and the 1939 fair – the baked bean versus the cube – the same fight designed into every World Fairground. In this he explains Dali's paranoid critical method. Once I understood this process I realised it is necessary to my own work.
Currently I am finding infinite resonance and connection between every aspect of my source material. All evidence is interpreted as support for my idée fixe. For example it is possible to see the fairground as the two sides of the human brain, bridged by a corpus callosum – that bridge is right there in the 1939 map. The relationships become tenuous when looked at critically – but that's for later, when the design has to collapse into an actual production.
Colonialism and other isms.
A great deal has been written about the racism and colonialism expressed in world fairs. (For example here's a very useful source regarding fairground Orientalism.) Other people have covered this far better than I can, plus there's debate that I'm not equipped to settle. For example the common claim that the centre of each fair was the White Anglo-Saxon exhibit, with increasingly 'inferior races' spread out towards the edges – one critic has pointed out that just looking at the maps you can see that Austrians must have been held inferior to Hottentots if that were the case and there are more complex economic reasons for the layout than simplistic racial theories.
I've been worried about portraying the reality of a 20th century fairground – midgets, belly dancers, American Indians etc. that are going to 'trigger' somebody somewhere who can't see the difference between what was and what should be. Bluntly – my Midway cannot and will not have a Little Miracle or Coon Town even though these were real. They were supposed to present a scale of civilization – which I also need to present, but without the hurtful pseudoscience or the notion of superiority.
Instead I will hold that some mental formations are more primal / fundamental, and portray these as architecture. Rather than arraying people and cultures along my map, I can set the 'civilized' Jekyll against the 'primal' Hyde, with the constant refrain of their interdependence. For Freud, there was the contest between id and superego, for Jung there were the archetypes, then there are the spiritualists and surrealists and many other symbols I can use without hurting anyone. My exposition will be an interior landscape that informs the exterior civilization.
Sort of. It's not exactly clear how this will work. On one side the WHITE CITY, tall, hard edged, streamline style, progressive. On the other side of the bridge, the MIDWAY, soft and fleshy, primal and filled with ancient emotions. But who will be in this landscape? What goals? What challenges? There's a long way to go.

I see in the comments section that many of you are taking losses on your shorts. A few words of wisdom:
- The time the research comes out is the time to act on it. Since I do not currently offer quantitative or timing services, look at the historical price chart and ascertain whether you should jump in or ease into the position. As Shaunsnoll stated, the spreads and the implied volatility on the thinly traded stuff is murder. I fight with the lone market maker on many of my positions daily, and it often takes up to a month or more to fill completely. I wait for irrational price movements to fill my orders in lieu of chasing behind wide spreads, which put you behind by default.
- If you short, use protection.
- I take a longer term time horizon. I can't predict the future, and I don't try. I find someone who is in trouble (or about to do really well), take as inexpensive and as efficient position as possible, then dig in and wait to see if my thesis pans out. Consider me a private equity/venture capital style investor that goes long and short in public markets.
- The markets are as volatile as I have ever seen them. Expect significant drawdowns. 2/3rds of you are not managing other people's money, so you don't have to worry about quarterly performance, and the other third need to educate your clients on the realities of today's environment. The only way to make money without a drawdown is cash, which is a guaranteed loss in real terms. For individuals, don't short or buy speculative derivatives with money that you can't afford to lose, period!
- I oftern release my bearish research before the crowd turns bearish, or at least before the crowd realizes exactly how bad the situation actually is. Taking this in consideration, if you ride a company down from $25 to $10, you should have taken or locked in profits. You can speculate with the house money on further decline, but profits should be locked in once they are achieved. I tell my children that I always leave the last dime on the table, primarily because picking up the dime usualy cost about $1.20.
- If you are a retail subscriber, be aware that much of the researched information necessary to accurately speculate on further price action (past the opined price in the report) is contained in the professional or higher packages. That is what those subscribers pay for, and if you want a richer set of assumptions, macro arguments and justifications to power your speculation, I strongly suggest that you upgrade.

The Clark's Story
Generosity is hinged on the belief that, on the other side of sacrifice, there is a blessing.
The blessing returned to the generous party can be, I suppose, financial — if I were a betting man I would put money on the greatest return being peace, but sometimes money comes back around. Now some preach generosity as a lifestyle for the sake of the return, specifically a financial one. I say to that Ok. (Who made me judge?) If the overall result is that more people are generous, then fine by me.
I, however, am interested in peace.
My son and I planted ryegrass seed in our backyard this month. I did most of the work; my son is 16 months old, but he did throw around some steer manure over the seed, and his grip on the rake seems to be consistent with what I'd expect from someone who poops his pants every day. This is my first venture into sowing grass seed, and I was genuinely nervous before I began this project, a project that I was told at my local home improvement store by a nice man named Phil that planting grass in a backyard is "almost impossible to fail at". I said Hello. You and I have obviously never met before. But Phil assured me over and over that I'd be fine if I just put in the work.
I am not a farmer. I am not skilled at growing things. Houseplants parish under my care, despite my best efforts. Actually, I'm surprised that I am allowed to have a kid in the first place; thankfully the kid sort of grows on his own. I do, however, want to become a gardener and a grower and a cultivator, and I am learning, but it's not natural to me. It is tied into my desire to become a generous man — if I work hard at whatever I do and make sure that the bowl of my neighbor has enough in it, then a blessing will come on the other side of the sacrifice. Peace will be at the door. This is why I bring my kid into our yard when I am sowing seed. Put your hand on the rake and learn alongside me and together we'll see what comes from our work.
I know a family in Dumas, Texas, the Clark family, and they exemplify generosity to me, and I thought about them a lot as I was planting that ryegrass in my yard. Partially I was thinking about the Clark's because they are farmers and I wanted to download their expertise into my brain. They also came to mind because they are generations deep in living generous lives; they are generous with their finances, with their time, and in their labor. And in the little time I've spent with them, I could not get away from how much peace seemed to exude from every member of the family.
All 13 of the Clark's would survive the depression and a few of the boys would go on to farm the land in Oklahoma and, a few years later, own and farm land down a bit south in Texas. Jimmy was the 2nd to the youngest of the initial 7 children, which included Chester as a brother who led them as a dad. Wayne was the son of Chester and Inez, making Wayne a nephew to Jimmy, even though they were roughly the same age. Wayne and Jimmy would have sons, Brent and Gordon respectively, and now Wayne and Gordon and their families farm and are in the insurance business in Dumas.
If you're confused, then that's fine. Actually I think it's kind of good to get a bit turned around with this family because nothing about them is all that conventional; they have a complex family system and they live lives that involve the kind of risk that most people stay as far away from as possible. I had to have a number of the family members go through the tree for me, and I still feel like I never quite got it down.
There are two things that are important in this web. First, in the last almost 100 years, whether or not things were tight financially, this family has always had a focus on giving. Emma Lee, the daughter of Brent and granddaughter of Wayne, told me, "If you are blessing others then God is going to take care of you." She said it with such confidence and laissez faire that you'd think it was genuinely in her DNA.
The second thing to know is this: almost everyone in the Clark family, when asked about their history, would talk about Inez as the spiritual rock of the clan. Inez held the influence that would eventually impact the entire family as well as the town of Dumas.
One of the primary ways that their value of generosity takes shape is at The Refuge in Dumas. The Refuge was started by the Clarks and it is something of a 1/4 way house, as they call it — it's a center for recovery. The Refuge is, structurally, in a former retirement home that was bought by the Clark's and renovated to house adults who are suffering from addiction. There are 20 to 25 adults staying there at any given time, all of whom are in recovery. There is no financial cost for those in recovery to live there.
The requirements, though, are that every adult who lives at The Refuge attend daily recovery meetings and works, either as a volunteer or in a paid position somewhere in the Dumas community. Everyone attends meetings. Everyone works. Other than that, anyone in recovery can be there; the only requirement is faithfulness to their own recovery. In their 10 years of providing space for recovery The Refuge has had over 1000 adults through their doors. Most stay 6-8 months. Lots of them leave after the first week. A few have been there for years.
I talked to a few people who lived there. One guy told me that he was living in a cave for awhile before he showed up at The Refuge. I said, "A cave?" and he said, "Yeah." I asked him how he ended up at The Refuge and he said that one day he was walking into town with his water jugs to get water and a woman who was living at The Refuge having a cigarette on the front porch and yelled to him with the sort of nonchalance of someone who lost everything and found it again and now had nothing to hide or be afraid of. She asked if he wanted to come live with them. He said that was something like 7 years ago.
I talked to another guy who has a wife and a kid in another town. He said he was at The Refuge to get his life together so he could go back and be a dad and a husband. He told me about his addictions and the work he was doing to get clean — lots of dirt under his nails. Story after story of use and abuse. He has this picture of his wife and kid on his desk and a note from his kid that said something like we love you written in a big fat marker.
There aren't many places like The Refuge. It exists because of the generosity of one family, not for financial gain or name recognition, but simply so that those on the margins, those with less in their bowls, get a chance to find peace.
The Refuge exists in part because a woman, someone who truly believed Jesus when he said to love everybody, brought a foundation of kindness and generosity and care to a family of ragamuffins back in the 1930s. Her influence has carried on through decades, and now impacts the likes of a man walking through town to get some water to take back to his cave and the likes of a dad sowing grass seed with his 1 year old son in their yard.

1. Intended Use
Salmonella & Shigella Real Time PCR Kit is used for the detection of Salmonella & Shigella in stool
or water samples by real time PCR systems.
2. Product Description
Salmonella is a genus of bacteria that are a major cause of foodborne illness throughout the world. The
bacteria are generally transmitted to humans through consumption of contaminated food of animal
origin, mainly meat, poultry, eggs and milk.
The symptoms of Salmonella infection usually appear 12–72 hours after infection, and include fever,
abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea and sometimes vomiting. The illness usually lasts 4–7 days, and
most people recover without treatment. However, in the very young and the elderly, and in cases when
the bacteria enter the bloodstream, antibiotherapy may be needed.
Shigella, its enterotoxicity can make the disease clinically appear as a diarrhea. The organism invades
the epithelial lining layer but does not penetrate. Usually within 2-3 days, dysentery results from
bacteria damaging the epithelial layers lining the intestine, often with release of mucus and blood and
attraction of leukocytes. However, watery diarrhea is frequently observed with no evidence of
dysentery. Shigella is primarily a disease of young children occurring by fecal-oral contact. Adults can
catch this disease from children, although it can be transmitted by infected adult food handlers who
contaminate food. The source in each case is unwashed hands. Man is the only «reservoir».
Salmonella & Shigella real time PCR kit contains a specific ready-to-use system for the detection of
the Salmonella & Shigella by Polymerase Chain Reaction in the real-time PCR system. The master
contains reagents and enzymes for the specific amplification of Salmonella & Shigella DNA.
Fluorescence is emitted and measured by the real time systems´ optical unit during PCR. The detection
of amplified Salmonella DNA fragment is performed in fluorimeter channel HEX/VIC/JOE with the
fluorescent quencher BHQ1. The detection of amplified Shigella DNA fragment is performed in
fluorimeter channel FAM with the fluorescent quencher BHQ1.For further information, please refer to
section 9.2 Quantitation.

Hair Salon Beauty Parlor Tips
Hair salon etiquette: tips for the dos and don'ts when visiting your hair salon
When it comes to proper etiquette in your local hair salon, we may all be a little stumped on how to act when we visit a salon. In this age, there are some rules you should follow and certain ways you should behave when you visit a hair salon. Why? Because it's common courtesy to your stylist and other clients to behave and be respectful of others.
Arrive on time
Like any appointment, give yourself a five-minute leeway before your scheduled time. If you are running late, give the salon a call so that they are aware. When your stylist isn't racing against the clock, he or she won't stress about rushing your appointment or upsetting her next client.
Cell Phone Usage
If you can manage to put down the cell phone while you eat, drive and during business meetings, you can put it down while in the salon chair. If your head is focused on your phone screen, don't expect to have an even trim when you look in the mirror. It's also polite to focus on the person doing your hair, rather than the one on your screen.
Be sure to communicate
At every visit to your stylist, update them about any new hair products you are using or any dilemmas you may be having. This will give them an idea of what treatment is best to keep your hair healthy and glowing.
Trust them
Your stylist has had plenty of experience and training in perfecting their skills so just sit back, relax and trust them. It can be very annoying to a stylist if you are questioning their method, product choice and every snip they make.
Chit chat
You don't have to become best friends with your stylist but it is a good idea to try and build a relationship with your stylist, especially if you plan on returning in the future. Just remember, the client next to you can hear your conversation so filter out loud chatter, gossip or anything super personal.
Tipping 101
No matter how expensive your hair treatment, it is also considerate to tip your stylist. A general range to tip is 15% to 20% of the fixed price. If you are more impressed, add on a little extra.
If you hate it
Don't panic if you hate your hair, it will grow back. After taking a moment, or maybe even a few days to adjust to your new look, call the salon and explain your dissatisfaction, but do it nicely. Always ask to speak to your stylist so they can directly understand what went wrong.
If you can't make it
The worst thing you can do to the salon is be a no-show. It is absolutely rude and disrespectful. I an emergency happens, call as soon as you can and apologize but normally if you can't make it, give them 24 hours.
These are answers to a few of the nuances of modern salon etiquette. We hope the next time you visit your local hair salon that you take them into consideration. Your stylist is providing a service to perhaps your best feature, your hair. That warrants a respectful and grateful visit.

Predicted XI: Red Star Belgrade (H)
It's the Champions League tonight at Anfield, and time to rectify the mistakes that were made in Naples. The Anfield Talk's Ian (@ianyoungkop) asks, what team will Klopp pick to take the field against Red Star Belgrade?
Here's how I think Klopp will pick his team:
Alisson: Apart from one mistake against Leicester City in the league he's been absolutely brilliant, so I can't see Allison getting dropped any time soon. Alisson has this ability to make everything look routine when so many other keepers want to make every save look spectacular.
Alexander-Arnold: Hopefully Trent will be fit for this game as I want to see Gomez back in partnership with Van Dijk. He's not had the best start to the season but I'm pretty sure most Liverpool fans know what their favourite back for is, and that includes Alexander Arnold.
Gomez: Gomez just seems to be growing in stature every single game for Liverpool, whether he's out at right back or central next to Van Dijk, he never seems to put a foot wrong. This is looking more and more like it's going to be, Gomez's breakout season not only for Liverpool before England as well.
Van Dijk: What can I say about Van Dijk that already hasn't been said before, Colossus, giant, leader, This man is close to becoming the best player in the world in his position.
Robertson: Full back hasn't been the strongest position for us this season as both of our full backs from last season seem to have struggled. I think the focus on our front three not contributing with the goals they did last season has saved our fullbacks from closer inspection. Hopefully regular service will be resumed soon.
Fabinho: For me Fabinho looked good when he came on against Huddersfield and showed that little bit of class we've been lacking in front of the defence. Could this be the start of our number 3's run in the first team? I certainly hope so.
Winjaldum: Gini, like I've said previously has been remarkable this season and stepped up to the challenge of Liverpool going out and spending so much money on midfielders. On a par with Gomez for most improved player so far this season.
Shaqiri: Because we are at home I'd be tempted to go with the Shaqiri at the head of the midfield. This is a game where we need to be on the front foot from the start as we don't want Red Star Belgrade frustrating the home crowd. I genuinely think that no one has been better with their final ball so far this season than Shaqiri
Salah: If Salah is on song today I very doubt that Red Star will have anything to fight back with. With a classy finish on Saturday it looks like maybe Salah might be getting back some way to where he needs to be.
Mané: After sitting out the weekend with the injured thumb, hopefully Mané will be fit to take the field. Mane Has arguably been the best attacker so far this season with arguably only Sturridge for competition.
Firmino: Our number 9 has looked off his game since returning from the World Cup but hopefully things will get better soon. His final balls have been poor to say the least so far this season. But hopefully soon like so many others in our squad he'll get back to his best, sooner rather than later.
Do you agree with my first choice 11? Let us know by tweeting us at @theanfieldtalk.

While waiting for proof copies of the forthcoming Lone Scout of Letters to arrive, I've been adding notes here and there where appropriate. While doing this, I came upon the following, from Herbert Klatt's March 9, 1926 letter to Clyde Smith:
I read all the Collegian except some of the news proper—athletics—so I have not missed anything by Robert Arselle and Kerry Maynell. Of material in the Collegian, I like "White Haired Shadows" best, though that is not poetry proper. "Reincarnation" is not so bad. I can imagine Bob reciting it.
That sparked my interest, so I went looking through the Smith-edited issues of the Daniel Baker Collegian (copies acquired from the Cushing Memorial Library and Archives at Texas A&M University). I found what I was looking for in the February 12, 1926 issue:

I have drank from the cup
And seen the flares of dawn;
I have lived in hell
And known the devil's spawn.
Down through the ages long,
I have danced on the brinks of death;
Fate has had its fling
With the scars of the mammon breath.
From out of the distant past,
When time and God began,
I have crawled in the muck of the devil's deeds
And felt the evil hand
That leads us on to a reckless end
And guards the lonely tombs of men.
If you will come with me to delve
Far back in the hidden past,
I will show you life since Time began
To play with the sands of chance.
For I have known a million kings
Who have lived with greed and lust,
And billions of others who have clutched
At vile perdition's dust.
Since the age, when years ago,
I called the trees my home,
Down through the years when progress loomed
And we lashed the ocean's foam.
Far happier in the primitive
Than in the years ahead,
When life changed to nothing
Else but the devil's tread.
Numb we were in a modern sense,
And life and love were strange,
But down to the depths of our brutish hearts
Until the years of change
We had gained the heights of Paradise;
And we knew more of God
Than in the bloody years when chance
Forced us to rule the sod.
Since those mad years when first we groped
In a land else than our birth,
We have ever known the evil hiss
That has rocked the world in mirth.
Laughter harsh as the sibilant wind
That slashes the frozen waste
And carries us down to the pits of death
That we may know the taste
That follows on the sharpened tart
Bitterness brings to the human heart.
So for years I have fought and died
Only to live again.
I have seen the blades of blood mad hordes
Crash in the battle din.
I have known all the fields of carnage
From Troy and Ancient Gaul;
Concord, Waterloo, St. Michael,
I have seen through the blazing maul.
Here with broadsword and armor,
Hacking my way through the fight,
There on a foaming charger,
Riding like hell through the night.
Thus I have wooed destruction,
And insidious havoc wrought;
I have gazed on the beds of slaughter
That the crowns of kings have brought.
I have dared the golden harems
Of the ancient Persian line,
I have known the suns of Carthage
And I've drank the Aztec wine.
I have lived with keen enjoyment
In the company of sheiks,
And I've scaled with dissoluteness
Debauchery's highest peak.
I've known the whole world in my time,
Its sordidness and shame;
In the years that I have lived,
I've snatched my lot of fame.
Under the banners of Tamerlane
I've met defeat and death,
So life will always be for me
Until the final breath
Dies in the throat of father time,
Who, with glazing eyes,
Cast up to crimson heavens,
Gasps, struggles, and dies.
I'll have to agree with Klatt.

The Da Vinci Code
If we would all take a few moments to think about all of the controversy regarding the movie "The Da Vinci Code" and the book by the same name, we may realize a very important point. Many of us are playing right into the hands of the author and movie maker. So many Christians are going to see the movie and are buying the book, "so that we will know how to respond to people who believe the lies." By spending money on the movie and the book we are padding the pockets of the deceivers. There have been lies spread about Jesus from the day He was born and will not stop until the end of the world as we know it. We all need to ask the Holy Spirit to grant us wisdom in how He would have us respond. I don't think He would tell us to spend our money on this trash. Just something to think about

Many dressed in 50s attire and all danced the great music.
All socks will be distributed by Legion Service Officer, Jesse Garcia, to veteran's organizations throughout the county.

It's true, I'm an amazing liar. I'm not talking about in a bad way, just not really elaborating. You know when someone asks how you're doing and you respond quickly with "oh, I'm good and you?" I'm not talking about every day people. Not the woman at the bus stop also wrangling her children making idle chatter. Not the cashier ringing up your groceries trying to fill the void while you're wondering if you can afford that bag of chips you grabbed to eat hiding in the bathroom later. I'm talking about family and friends you don't see on a regular basis.
After you answer they just stare at you, waiting and hoping you'll get into how life has been, but how can you when your answer of "good" was nothing more than a lie. The last couple months "good" has been my response to everyone. "How's the new apartment?" "It's good." "How's the family?" "Everyone's good." "How's school going for Khloe and Keira?" "It's going good." Just to change it up and dare we say fine, or even great to throw them off.
I won't lie life is well good. It's average, but amazing, insane, but beautiful. A lot has happened since I last posted. I wanted to post, but you might have noticed my blog was down. I wasn't happy about, nor was it something I wanted to do. Due to the horrible WIFI at the shelter I didn't have a good enough connection to update my WordPress and someone decided it was the perfect time to take advantage of the weakness and uploaded malicious files. My host took my blog down, locked me from doing anything other than deleting and backing up my files and with limited connection it was nearly impossible.
If you're not familiar with WordPress there is a simple option to back up and download the file that stores your posts, comments, images, sidebar information and more and unfortunately I had not done one in a while and I had no access to do one now. I had to manually back everything up and when I manually restored it I was getting error messages or crashing my blog, so that's why it's a bit messed up and there is nothing in my sidebars. I'm hoping to find the time to get it all fixed, but time is something I don't have much of. In the next few days/posts I'll update on how life has been and how it's going.

Wrongful Death And How An Attorney Can Help
A wrongful death attorney explains that it is fair to say that many of us have experienced the death of a family member at some point in our lives and it is also fair to say that it is without doubt an emotional and traumatic time. However, when a loved one unexpectedly dies through no fault of their own, then words cannot begin to describe how devastating this can be to the family of the victim, both emotionally and in many cases financially too.
In circumstances such as these, it is understandable that the family's first thoughts are probably not to call upon the services of a team of wrongful death attorneys, as they begin to come to terms with what's happened. However because of strict statutes of limitations in cases such as these, then this is exactly what they should be doing.
When a wrongful death occurs because of negligence in the workplace, it is clearly very serious and in some cases the negligent party, depending upon the extent of their negligence, could be facing at the very least, a huge fine or at the very worst, a prison sentence. This being the case, many business owners will look to cover their tracks. This may mean putting right the hazardous area that caused the accident, or covering paper trails that show or admit liability for such an incident. If an investigating wrongful death lawyer does not get to hear of the incident for some considerable time, then they have no hard evidence to go on, other than that of witness statements. This can make it very difficult (although not impossible) for the representing attorney to build a case.
So how can an attorney really help?
As already discussed they can thoroughly investigate the wrongful death. However they don't necessarily do this on their own. On the contrary, attorneys that have the financial backing behind them can call upon a wealth of independent experts who can investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and can seek to prove negligence. People such as accident investigators, specialist machinery experts, safety and heath advisers and even forensic scientists, can all be called upon to help. This leaves the attorney and their team able to take down witness statements. The expert findings can be coupled together with the witness statements and from this the attorney will have a clearer picture of who is to be held accountable. From this they can look to file a wrongful death claim.
When it comes to seeking compensation for such a claim a team of wrongful death lawyers will be looking for damages for their client that are unlike any other type of claim. In any other type of personal injury claim, the representing attorney would seek recompense for their client for immediate and ongoing medical expenses, and loss of wages whilst in recovery. However with regard to a wrongful death compensation claim, because the victim is no longer with us, the focus of the compensation claim switches from the victim, and instead becomes focused on the needs and requirements of the surviving family members. With this in mind compensation can include:
- Funeral/burial expenses
- Loss of main breadwinner wages
- Grief and suffering caused to the family
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of father figure (if applicable)
- Any loss of inheritance
- Loss of sexual relations
- Punitive damages (in some cases)
As you can see, it is easy to understand how claims for wrongful death can run into millions of dollars. In most cases the perpetrator will want to settle out of court, because the defendant will want to avoid any media attention or publicity. In addition to this, a claimant may feel that they cannot face going to court after all that they have been through. A skilled lawyer will always act with the client's intentions at heart and as a result will always do what is right for them.
For a family member, wrongful death is a horrendous experience that many of us will never have to go through, but when it does, it's good to know that there is an experienced Los Angeles wrongful death lawyer standing by to help. They will not only act with compassion, but will also have the client's best interests at heart in order to fight their corner and deliver maximum compensation that the client truly deserves.

Dave's Fresh Pasta is a favorite store of mine for many reasons, not the least of which are their excellent pastas and extensive cheese collection. DFP is also a gem of a shop because of their varied selection of locally-made products, specifically baked goods. DFP is where I first spotted The Chocolate Tarte's mini cupcakes long before Linda had a storefront. They also carry Buttergirl Baking's cookies and brownies, rich morsels made right in Somerville. I'd been eyeing the Dough Raise Me Chocolate Chunk Brownie by the checkout counter for months and finally gave in a few weeks ago.
The chocolate chunks are Taza chocolate. The brownie itself emulates all of the qualities of Taza chocolate, rich, strong, and only moderately sweet. The brownies come two to a package and you should definitely plan on sharing with a friend or saving one for later. They are DENSE and with a texture and richness that verges on pure fudge. I looked up Dough Raise Me online after trying the brownie only to find that the Amesbury-based company makes a whole host of decadent bars, cookies, whoopie pies and more. If these treats are anything like the chocolate chunk brownie, then I am on a mission to locate them.

Sermons on Sin
Anger is such a destructive emotion, especially when that anger is directed toward God.
Second Chance
Life is somewhat unforgiving, we rarely get a second chance at something when we fail the first time. Well, unless we're dealing with Jesus…
Reality ~ Light or Darkness
As people who are following Jesus, we can sometimes have a bad attitude. Especially when the attitude is one of "better than" someone else. John addresses this as we continue to look at the reality of following Jesus.
Reality Check ~ The Reality of God's Heart
When we only see God as an angry, vindictive God we may be tempted to do the one thing we should never do…run away from Him! In this message we take a look at what it is that pleases God.
Changing Directions
One problem that every Christian faces is the issue of the "old self." Our old self is the person we were, before coming to faith in Jesus. The problem with this old self is that we tend to put them back on, like a comfortable suit of clothes. We have been given a "new self" and God expects us to put this self on whenever and wherever we are.
The Old Path
We have been given a chance to change our path when we ask Jesus into our life. The problem is that we are constantly being tempted to go back to the old path…
Do Good: Joy of Reconciliation
Humans are weird–we are easily addicted to things. All of humanity shares one addiction, that of being addicted to sin. It makes each of us somewhat broken, and until we are reconciled to God, fully, we will remain broken.

The most under rated skill of home inspectors is the ability to communicate. We have the task of going into a home, diagnosing any potential issues, and delivering this message to clients. More often then not, clients believe they have found a dream home only to be derailed by issues uncovered by a home inspection. The result, clients who are let down, a Realtor who is upset, and potentially a home owner that is angry at the results. That is 3 potential clients who will only remember a negative impression no matter how correct the home inspector was. Scaring a client does not reduce an inspector's liability, getting the client to read and understand a report will. The following are how I deliver "bad news" to clients during my summary.
Don't Discount The Emotions:
When a home inspector does a home inspector it is merely factual. However, home owners, buyers and the Realtor have invested hours and hours getting the house ready for sale, viewings, getting pre- approvals, etc. As a home inspector I am late to the party. What seems merely as factual information to me could cause a lot of stress to my clients, and I have to take this into consideration.
When a home inspector delivers a summary to their clients location is imperative. I want the client to feel safe, comfortable and relaxed. Choose a location that is secluded, it allows the client to feel free to ask questions. It also allows for the client to feel more connected. Think of doctors, they don't bring patients out into a hallway and tell them they're terminally ill.
Start With A Positive:
The clients feel like they are making a good decision. If a home inspector starts a summary with something more positive it relaxes the client The client is more ready to listen and absorb information. If an inspector starts listing off issues the client will most likely be stuck on the first issue and will disregard the rest.
Use of Language:
Home inspectors are not media. Don't over sell the headline. It is important to communicate problems that will negatively impact the client. If the delivery is over dramatic the client will be focused on negativity instead of the actual problem. Obviously, if there is a loss of life situation or catastrophic failure communicate that, but keep in mind the cost of the repair and temper the language to fit the situation. Clients will absorb more information if they are not petrified with terror.
Body Language:
Avoid things like crossing your arms, putting your hands on your hips or pointing. I like to ensure that I am on level ground with my clients, so they don't feel like I am lecturing and encourages participation. I like to have an open posture that invites communication.
Have a Solution:
The best way to bring piece of mine to a client is to provide them with a solution. Cost of repair, maybe some references, talk about the process, and the success rate. It is easy to find problems, but if you also provide solutions you will seem knowledgeable, compassionate and helpful.
Rely on Help:
The average home inspection is 2 1/2 to 3 hours long. In that time, home inspectors are not only trying to complete an inspection, but also trying to get to know and endear themselves to the client. For the most part the client's Realtor is present. They have spent countless hours cultivating a relationship with your clients. Watch to see how the Realtor interacts with the client, because it will give you indicators on how the clients receive and process information. Work as a team with the Realtor to best service your mutual client. The end game, is to make sure the client is informed and comfortable with the purchase.
End with Something Positive:
Again, people are more likely to read the entire report if it is not a death warrant on the home. Find something positive to say about the home. Clients will be more engaged and more likely to ask questions if they are not over whelmed by negativity.
In summary, the message doesn't change. The information in the report should always be the same, but how it is communicated should change. The product we sell is information, so communicating "bad news" effectively will lead to more sales and less liability. Less liability, because the clients will read the report and listen to the full summary.
