A park on Blackpool's seafront is being renovated following an £80 million investment.
Anchorsholme Park is occupied by United Utilities, which is funding the renovation with the aim of improving the town's sewage systems and cleaning up the sea water, as well as re-landscaping the site and adding new facilities.
Charcon Hard Landscaping, a division of Aggregate Industries, is supplying the project with 2,286m² of its Andover Textured Block paving.
The new site will include a bowling club, café, outdoor seating area, children's playground, and a sports area with tennis courts and a trim trail.
Work is expected to be completed by 2020.
Mark Barter, Sales Director at Charcon, said: "The Anchorsholme Park project is incredibly exciting as it will see the return of much-loved community park with brand new leisure facilities for residents and visitors to the area to enjoy.
"With our knowledge and product proficiency, we are ideally placed to work on this landscaping project and we're looking forward to seeing the park come back to life in the coming months."

The Romanian army is ignoring the existence of debilitating combat stress disorders among its military, according to a year-long investigation published Monday.
A documentary broadcast on the website of Romania's Gandul newspaper tells the story of a soldier, Florin Jalaboi, who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after he served in Afghanisatan.
Jalaboi, who tried to commit suicide on three occasions, was forced to retire after finding himself unable to cope. "The army did not admit that his sickness was a consequence of his profession so he was left with a 571 lei (128 euro, $171) monthly pension", the report said.
The soldier is described as "the man who does not exist" in the documentary after a military official denied soldiers suffered from the illness.
PTSD covers a broad range of symptoms found in soldiers returning from battle including anxiety, depression and nightmares, as well as physical symptoms such as an increased heart rate and excessive sweating.
Adrian Prisacaru, the Romanian army's chief psychologist, told reporters: "There are no soldiers diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder."
However Paul Fink, the former president of the American Association of Psychiatry, told Gandul it was "impossible" that Romania had no PTSD cases when around 20 percent of American soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan were found to be sufferers.
Romania, a NATO member, has sent 30,000 soldiers to war in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001, with 1,000 still serving in Afghanistan according to official figures.
Canada and Britain have acknowledged that a percentage of their soldiers who served in Afghanistan and Iraq suffer from PTSD, with French troops in Afghanistan also affected according to their defence ministry.
The investigation took more than a year to put together and was supported by the Carter Centre, an American human rights organisation founded by former US president Jimmy Carter.
Army documents obtained by Gandul appeared to show the existence of PTSD symptoms among soldiers but no cases were officially acknowledged.
The army's refusal to acknowledge cases of PTSD created a "fear among soldiers of being stigmatised by a mental illness," the report said.
PTSD first gained attention in the United States in the 1980s when doctors noticed severe mental health problems among soldiers returning from the Vietnam War.

How did I get it?:
I bought it!
One house. Nine strangers. Ten days that will change everything . . .
The retreat at health-and-wellness resort Tranquillum House promises total transformation.
Nine stressed city dwellers are keen to drop their literal and mental baggage, and absorb the meditative ambience while enjoying their hot stone massages.
Miles from anywhere, without cars or phones, they have no way to reach the outside world. Just time to think about themselves, and get to know each other.
Watching over them is the resort's director, a woman on a mission. But quite a different one from any the guests might have imagined.
For behind the retreat's glamorous facade lies a dark agenda.
These nine perfect strangers have no idea what's about to hit them . . .
CHRISSI: There's been mixed reviews of this book. Did that affect your opinion going into the story?
BETH: I hadn't actually realised there had been mixed reviews until you told me – haha! I'm a huge fan of Liane Moriarty although I've only managed to read a couple of her books – the incredible Big Little Lies and The Husband's Secret (although I have Truly Madly Guilty on my shelves). I have to be honest and say that because of that, I probably look at the author's work through rose-tinted glasses and was determined to keep an open mind, ignore the haters and try and make up my own mind about the novel as I read my way through.
BETH: I found Moriarty's dry wit brought something a bit more interesting to this story. Do you agree?
CHRISSI: Interesting question. I think without dry wit this book would have puzzled me even more. I think it made the story more cold? If that makes sense. It wasn't a heart-warming story. It was almost clinical for me. I hope that makes sense, I know what I mean. I felt like the way in which the book was written, didn't really make you feel for the characters. It was almost like Liane Moriarty was making fun of her own characters.
CHRISSI: Why do you think the author chose to tell this story through multiple perspectives? How would it have changed your view of each of the characters if the story had been told through just one voice?
BETH: I always love a story told through multiple perspectives. You get a much more rounded view of the situation as it happens and a true view of each individual personality. I think if it had been told through one voice, you would have that individual bias of how just one character saw a situation and other people around them. It does make it more exciting too – especially if you're not a fan of a particular individual but you're keen to get back to another one's point of view.
BETH: Who was your favourite character in Nine Perfect Strangers and why?
CHRISSI: Oh wow. This is a tough question because like I said in my previous answer to your question, I felt like I didn't feel for any of the characters. That disengagement meant that I didn't have a favourite character. I guess, if I had to pick I would pick Yao because I found him the most intriguing.
CHRISSI: Discuss the pros and cons of the retreat's ban on technology and social media. What do you think the author is saying about the effects they have on society?
BETH: I'm not sure about the author's personal views on social media and technology but I find it crazy sometimes how much they take over our lives. Obviously having blogs, we probably spend a good deal of our free time on social media. I know I post a lot on Instagram, try to blog hop every day and re-tweet other bloggers posts every day but I can also remember a time when we didn't have the internet and I got my kicks by watching Top Of The Pops on a weekday night and recording the TOP 40 off the radio on Sunday afternoons! In a way, the fact that we have constant access to information (and funny animal videos which I have a particular fondness for!!) has isolated us slightly from those around us and I do try to restrict the time I spend on my phone and have normal, face to face conversations too. From the point of view of Nine Perfect Strangers though, it is fascinating to watch how individuals cope when these things we now take for granted are taken away from them.
BETH: I sympathise with your struggle to give this book a rating. Why do you think you're torn in this way?
CHRISSI: I think it's because I wanted to love it. I love Liane Moriarty's writing and I know she is highly thought of. I also really enjoy reading her ideas. I just felt for me this book was too ridiculous and unbelievable. Not every book has to be believable, but something like this got too far fetched for me. I wanted to love it, I didn't hate it…so I'm somewhere in-between. I think if I could have connected with the characters, then it might have been completely different.
CHRISSI: Would you ever go on a retreat like Tranquillum House? Why/Why not?
BETH: Maybe not EXACTLY like Tranquillum House haha. However, I could see myself doing something like this. I love the idea of getting away from the world and learning new techniques to relax. As long as I had a big pile of books to accompany me, I think I would quite enjoy a retreat like this. For now, I'll take pleasure in my reading holidays to Malta with you my sister! 🙂
BETH: Would you read another book by this author?
CHRISSI: Yes! I do like her writing and I'm not put off at all.
Would we recommend it?:
BETH: Yes! 3.5 stars!
CHRISSI: Yes?

Why Christians Go to Hell
Jesus asks:
"Do you know why people who call themselves Christians, end up in hell?
In Summary the reasons are as follows:
Unforgiveness and not wanting to reconcile (Usually because of unforgiveness). If it is not safe to try and reconcile you must still forgive them in your heart and try to do what you can reconcile with them.
Not wanting to give up a sin.
Deliberately not wanting to obey the laws of the land, that do not contravene the laws of God (tax evasion, speeding, wrong parking e.g.)
Not having a salvation relationship with Me and The Father, because you have not desired one so do not maintain it.
I AM not LORD of your life so you ignore what I desire you to do.
Rejecting The Bible and using modern ones based on forged codices so that you follow doctrine that is false or which suits your belief system.
Deliberately not being guided by The Holy Spirit so you do what you want to do and not what I need you to do to be in heaven with Me.
Following liberal theology and teaching wrong things.
Not believing in Genesis and other miraculous events — no faith in the True Bible as being accurate.
Not showing God's Love in the way He desires you to show it so you do not represent Him but Satan. If you do not do what God desires you to do you are doing what Satan desires you to do.
Wrong sexual relations and their expression.
Deliberately misusing what God has given you (bad stewardship).
Not encouraging others, but criticising them destructively for purposes of self-esteem or control which destroys the expression of My Love.
Remember that sin is a deliberate rejection of what God said you are not to do which means you must know it is wrong before you sin.
Remember the warning I gave in Revelation 3:5 that you can be saved but lose your salvation through disobedience to Me or difference to My Will.
If you pursue Lordship, holiness and the expression of God's quality of Love you will maintain the intimacy required by the salvation relationship you have with God and will not go to hell.
You will live as a good citizen of God's Kingdom and remember that it is whose kingdom you belong to when you die which determines which kingdom you go to."
"He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels," Revelation 3:5.

Recently I heard a joke about a guy who went in for surgery. After he was rolled into the pre-op area, his wife trudged her way down the long haul toward the hospital cafeteria. But two steps from the cafeteria entrance, she heard her husband screaming, and she froze in her tracks. She looked down the hall to see him running toward her.
"Honey, what's wrong?" she asked.
He pointed at the nurse marching down the hall towards them. "I heard what she said!"
"What did she say?"
"She said, 'I know you've never been through this kind of operation before, but it's a relatively minor procedure, so try to stop shaking. There's a good chance everything will turn out okay.'"
The wife shook her head. "But, honey, the nurse was just trying to help you."
His eyes went wide. "She was talking to the doctor!"
Yeah, we'd all like to know that our surgeon has been there and done that before we entrust our bodies to him. I don't want my doctor to point to an x-ray and exclaim, "Wow! What's that d0-hicky there?" Hardly a confidence builder.
One of the challenges of being a writer is deciding who to go to for advice. Let's face it–and this is an uncomfortable truth–there are a few self-proclaimed experts out there on the literary landscape. Doubtless, many of them mean well and can even offer random nuggets of information that can benefit any writer. But others have never really been there and done that. And, frankly, your time as a writer is too precious to waste. The stewardship of story calls for us to carefully exercise discernment.
Thankfully there are tons of people (al though I've never actually weighed them) out there who bring to the proverbial table wisdom gained by the experience of having walked the road themselves. They are usually very humble people who are willing to share what they've learned because the respect the craft, and they genuinely want to help another writer succeed. They remember the times someone helped them in the past, and the vow they made to sacrificially do the same if they ever had the chance.
How do YOU decide who will help shape your story? How do YOU decide who to go to for advice? Any experience–good or not-so-good–you care to share (don't mention names, please)?

What is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
TBI is an injury to the head resulting from blunt or penetrating trauma. Depending on the type, severity, and location of the injury, the person's symptoms may include:
- Loss of consciousness/coma
- Sleep disturbances
- Confusion and disorientation
- Dizziness/loss of balance
- Memory loss/amnesia
- Irritability/emotional changes
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Depression or anxiety
- Visual problems
- Seizures
- Poor attention/concentration
- Nausea/Vomiting
TBI is often described as mild, moderate or severe. A Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) is a coma score that is used to assess a patient's level of consciousness. The GCS has three categories that are scored based on a patient's responsiveness. The categories consist of the patient's ability to:
- Open his or her eyes
- Respond appropriately to orientation questions like, "what is your name?" and "what is the date today?"
- Follow commands like holding up two fingers or responding to painful stimulation
A number is assigned to each category based on a patient's performance and the scores are added together to get the total GCS score. The scores range from 3 to 15 and help determine if a patient has a mild, moderate or severe brain injury.
Click to expand a topic and learn more about the different types of TBI:
Mild TBI describes patients with normal or only a little bleeding seen on brain imaging. These patients sometimes lose consciousness for a short period of time after injury and may not remember details of the event. Mild TBI is sometimes called concussion and includes those with a GCS of 13-15.
Learn more about the treatments for mild TBI.
Moderate TBI describes patients with normal or abnormal brain imaging who experience a longer time period of loss of consciousness and amnesia. Patients with moderate TBI often have prolonged confusion and sleepiness. Moderate TBI patients score from 9-12 on the GCS score.
Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Severe TBI describes patients that usually have abnormal brain imaging and are often in a prolonged period of unconsciousness (coma). These patients are treated in the neuroscience intensive care unit (NSICU). Severe TBI is a GCS score below 9.
Patients with a severe TBI often have multiple areas of primary brain injury and are at increased risk of secondary injury. Secondary injury is an injury that occurs as a result of the body's response to the primary injury. The inflammatory response of a brain injury causes extra fluid to collect in the brain in an attempt to heal the injury. In other areas of the body, swelling (edema) is a good response, but it can be dangerous in the brain where space is limited by the skull. The swelling causes injury to parts of the brain that were not initially injured, resulting in "secondary brain injury."
Learn more about our treatments for severe TBI.
Learn more about TBI
The initial injury is known as the primary injury. Primary injuries can affect the entire brain (diffuse injuries) or a specific section (focal injuries).
Types of diffuse injuries include:
Concussions – mild head injuries that can cause brief loss of consciousness without brain tissue injury.
Traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage—caused from bleeding on the surface of the brain.
Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) – commonly referred to as shear injury. This is an injury that occurs when the brain quickly moves back and forth inside the skull damaging the cells that carry information throughout the brain. This disrupts how the brain normally communicates information and can result in changes in a patient's consciousness.
Types of focal injuries include:
Cerebral contusion – a bruise on the brain tissue.
Subdural hematoma (SDH) – bleeding that occurs under the dura, or layer of tissue that surrounds the brain. Tearing of veins or vessels that deliver the blood back to the heart is often the cause this type of bleeding.
An epidural hematoma (EDH) – a blood clot that forms on top of the dura, below the skull. Arteries that supply blood from the heart most commonly cause this type of bleed. Because the blood within the arteries travels at a high pressure this bleed can grow quickly, resulting in a rapid decrease in a patient's consciousness.
Intracranial hematoma (ICH) – is bleeding within the brain tissue.
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) – is blood within the fluid filled spaces inside the brain.
Although we describe these as individual injuries, it is rare for a patient to suffer only one type of injury. It is more common for a patient to have a combination of injuries, all of which may have different levels of severity and can be in different parts of the brain. Parts of the brain have different functions, and someone that suffers a TBI may have many symptoms because of the variety of brain regions injured.

Lister Drive Library
Lister Drive library was opened in 1905 funded and donated to the city of Liverpool by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie employed Thomas Shelmerdine as the architect for the project, who has designed several other local libraries including Everton, Kensington, Toxteth and Wavertree libararies. The library, in the Tuebrook area of the city was closed in december 2006 due to health and safety fears after a member of staff was involved in an accident at the site. Full surveys were conducted on the building concluding that it would cost several hundred thousand pounds to bring it up to modern standards and ensure future safety of the site. In 2008 it was decided that the library would stay closed for atleast a further 3 years as part of the councils money saving efforts. The grade 2 listed building has now been taken over by Lister Steps Childcare Charity who received Heritage Lottery funding to turn it in to a centre for the community with family support and childcare services. The full refurbishment was estimated to cost in the region of £4.5million and work is currently underway.

What's your Spring staple outerwear?
For me, I always tend to grab leather jackets, linen blazers or knit cardis.
This faux leather jacket (found here) can add that edgy chic-ness to any outfit you pair it with!
This day I wore it with my favorite lace jumpsuit, which I thought was too feminine by itself.
What do you think of this look? :)

I Don't Know
Can we relax into this phrase? Can we let go of ourselves into the not knowing? Can you embrace it? Love it, dance, swim, indulge in it?
What if this week we lived in the "not knowing" space? What if we were not only honest with others, but with ourselves – I don't know.
As I read this idea this morning, parts of my body and soul that were secretly clenched instantly released. I realized I was harboring so much tension in my body because I had set up the standard that I should know the Way of my self-expression, my future, my contribution to others.
While it is a challenging journey to begin to understand what you can uniquely contribute to the world, in recognizing your gifts, your talents, your abilities, and wanting to spread them, it may be even harder to not just attempt to map out your contribution, but to remain honest with yourself, that you really have no idea how it's going to happen. The truth is that your path is just that – yours. It has never been experienced before. It cannot be predicted. It cannot be copied. This individualized adventure, your Divine Self Expression, is wholly unique and the only thing you must carry forward on this journey is this mindset of not knowing. With this comes immense trust in Life, superhuman persistence, dogged determination and a gentleness with yourself that isn't always supported culturally. Not knowing takes you out of the picture and allows the teachers, leaders, guides and others to point the way, lift you up and enter you into a life of awe.
Today, I admit it. I do not know.

A Conversation with Madeline Miller, Author of "The Song of Achilles". December 13, 2012
"The Iliad turns on Achilles' pride and his relationship with Patroclus, but Homer is sparing with the personal—so much so that, though we believe in their friendship, we do not understand it. The Song of Achilles brings light to their love. This is a beautiful book."
Zachary Mason, author of The Lost Books of the Odyssey
Madeline Miller was born in Boston and grew up in New York City and Philadelphia. She attended Brown University, where she earned her BA and MA in Classics. For the last ten years she has been teaching and tutoring Latin, Greek and Shakespeare to high school students. She has also studied at the University of Chicago's Committee on Social Thought, and in the Dramaturgy department at Yale School of Drama, where she focused on the adaptation of classical texts to modern forms. She currently lives in Cambridge, MA, where she teaches and writes. The Song of Achilles, her first novel, was awarded the 2012 Orange Prize for Fiction and was a New York Times Bestseller. It has been translated into fourteen languages including German, Spanish, Dutch, Mandarin, Japanese, Turkish, Arabic and Greek.

Getting the appropriate documentation in spot ahead of your trip is vital to travel outdoors the United States. Below are the Passport & Visa needs that will assist make your trip run smoothly.
Really like the photos and the variety you've presented. If I ever get to Vancouver I am going to that Canadian National Train Station you described and ride a couple of trains! Fantastic idea for a trip. I have put this in my favorites and I hope quickly will be able to use your information. 5 stars! im organizing a road trip of my personal in the summer time of the US. this lens will come in extremely handy!! thank you! Cool Lens! 5 stars and a favourite from me! Thanks for visiting my Marklin Trains lens! Other Bonus Features. These are functions that some have and other people don't but can help in your decision as to which on the internet journal supply to use.
Of course the blindingly obvious qualities of these fabrics is also that they are gorgeous, all-natural, really feel gorgeous are super-flattering and maintain you feeling comfy due to the fact they permit your physique to breath. My number one concern whenever I am out is certainly my pet dog, and I feel a pet sitter would be better. And this particular person would be an individual whom your close with probably your best friend or a relative. Gary, it is so nice to hear from you! Thanks for your comments. I'm thrilled that you would take my recommendation on the North Rim, simply because I know you are so properly travelled yourself. There are a few places I extended to return to, and the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim is absolutely 1 of them. Pleased trails!
this is such a fabulous lens, i am so glad i located it. Driving from southern Ontario, Canada we've travelled I-40 several instances, but are hoping to take the a lot more southern route subsequent time, this lens is complete of wonderful info for us, thanks! Be prepared to take your pet OUT of its carrier at safety and hand-carry your pet by means of the metal detector whilst the carrier is X-rayed on the luggage belt. If you are afraid your pet may possibly bolt, take into account a pet harness. Its rivets might set off the metal detector, but at least you'll have a manage. The link beneath is full of info on the Bowlus. The picture was borrowed from the site but we did see 1 at the Cottonwood Rally. The minute he pulled in, actually each and every camper left their campsite to go and see it, It took numerous hours before he was in a position to move on. What a totally amazing trailer.
If your automobile has a lumbar help which is adjustable that is good but if not a lumbar help cushion will work as nicely to give additional support for your poor back. If you are hiring a auto you can verify this out beforehand or bring your own cushion to custom your seat. I practically purchased this trailer but opted for the Snooze Box as an alternative. It was actually my very first decision till my husband talked me into the Snooze Box. The standard Scad-A-Bout trailers are compact and really easy to tow. Again I like it since it is the exact same shape as the Benroy and King Richard. PARDUS TOURS A. is trippin to Zanzibar, United Republic of Tanzania and desires to make travel close friends with locals and other travelers going there also. Thank you for this road trip guide. Southern location is a warm and cozy spot to check out.

Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan made it to the top three positions as the actors with the best marketing skills, according to a survey.
The Screen Annual Survey 2014 conducted by C-Fore revealed that Shahrukh Khan is the king of marketing, with 41% of respondents (all marketing professionals across the country), voting him the most marketing savvy star, reported The Financial Express.
As per the survey, Shahrukh Khan leads the pack with 41% votes, followed by Aamir Khan with 26% and Salman Khan with 13% votes, respectively.
Vidya Balan came on top among actresses, while Viacom 18 Motion Pictures was the studio number one in the marketing game.
Shahrukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment has left no stone unturned to promote SRK movies, and its marketing strategy for the upcoming Happy New Year is a sure hit.
The trailer for the movie was released on digital platforms like Whatsapp and youtube, keeping the user preference in mind. Also the the hype surrounding the movie is kept alive with SLAM de Tour and SRK's Abs Video.
An extensive dance-music world tour, SLAM, has been planned, where with the entire cast of the Happy New Year is travelling to six cities in the US, Canada and UK for stage performances.
Amir Khan's Satyamev Jayate has earned the actor many accolades, and maybe his marketing strategy is not as good as Shahrukh Khan but he has created a different genre for himself. Also his upcoming movie PK has managed to create a lot of hype because of the semi-nude poster.
Salman Khan relies more on his charisma and appeal than marketing strategies. His heist style in Kick, patriotic fervour in Jai Ho and the evergreen Chulbul Pandey ji's character in Dabangg sequels are blockbuster hits in theatres. For Kick, the actor turned into a singer, which worked as the biggest marketing tool.
Commenting on the different marketing strategies of all the three superstars, trade analyst Girish Johar said: "Shahrukh Khan goes all out when it comes to promoting his films. He wants to cash in on anything and everything including SMS marketing, and is willing to go into every corner of the world."
He continued: "Aamir, on the other hand, is very focused on the content of the film and builds his strategy around it. He will not do anything if the marketing concept is not related to the film. This was evident during Dhoom 3 which had a low-key marketing strategy. Salman is very selective while making appearances and it is his appeal that works for him."

Have'nt heard about Huda Kattan? Are you kidding me or living under beauty rock? Well Huda is someone most of the bloggers look upto. She has this amazing range of products by the name HUDA BEAUTY
We all know that Huda beauty products are beautiful both quality vise and packaging vise. I had the complete lip contour collection and I loved it. But I did not try the liquid lippies yet. While my visit to Sephora Qatar recently I picked this Lip Contour set. I loved it for two reasons. First, look at the packaging. This beautiful picture of Huda herself. Second I got two minis in my favorite shades- Vixen and Famous and a lip contour in shade Vixen. These are two perfect shades for this festive/fall/holiday season. Let us see how did I find these minis.
CLAIMS (as per official website)
Take your lip looks to the next level with the Lip Contour Set. It features full sizes of the cult-favorite Lip Contour along with two mini Liquid Mattes in complementary shades, you can mix and match for unrivaled staying power. Use the Lip Contour Matte Pencil to first line and design the perfect lip shape, and then layer with the Liquid Matte Lipstick that fits your mood. With the ultra-lightweight texture of the lipstick, you get 30 seconds of play time to layer and blend the two for a unique color. For an ombré effect, use the dark shade first, and dab the lighter shade onto the center of your lips. With Huda's favorite matching shades in each set, it makes it super easy to create a gorgeous lip look.
Use lip contour to line your lips. Use a darker shade first for an ombre effect. Use lighter shade in center of the lips. You get 30 seconds to play with both the shades as formula is light.
Since the launch of Huda Beauty products, they have got all appreciation for packaging at first. They are the masters. This lip contour come in a very beautiful packaging. The front of box has a lovely picture of Huda with the lip shades on. There is a slide in box which is black in color. The liquid lipsticks come in a frosted tube. The shade is visible inside it . The applicator is just perfect for application. The lip contour pencil is a black pencil with Huda Beauty written on it. The complete ingredient list is mentioned on the box. It is really value for money. You get 2 minis and one full size lip contour pencil in $37
It is available at Sephora, Huda Beauty , Cult Beauty, several resellers in India.
I love matte liquid lipsticks. I feel they look great on all. And ofcourse liquid lipsticks are so in these days. Lets talk about all three inside the contour kit one by one.
LIP CONTOUR in SHADE VIXEN
I have used all the shades from lip contour range before. And I have to say I love them. They glide on the lips very easily. You can use them alone to fill the lips or as lip liners also. The color pay off is insane and they give an intense matte finish. I love the formula of this pencil. It is not streaky at all. I can wear it comfortably for long. It stays for long. You just need a little touch up after meal. Vixen is described as a deep brown and is a warm, red-toned brown on the lips. It is available separately and there are eight other colours in the range which retail for $19 each.
The liquid lipsticks by Huda are claimed to be the most comfortable liquid lipsticks ever. The formula is non drying. They are long wear. They settle into a complete matte finish. They are have intense pigmentation and give opaque application in just one swipe. They are claimed to dry in 30 seconds but no they take a little longer for drying completely. You have to keep your lips apart till they have dried completely or else they will stick and become patchy. They are also claimed to be transfer proof. But here I don't agree much. For me they do transfer a little. If after drying it put my fingers it does get a stain.
I did feel a little dryness after few hours. But it was not uncomfortable. They are really light weight. The formula is really thin. They have a mild scent of vanilla which I personally like a lot. They are totally waterproof and you need a good makeup remover to take them off.
They have a great shade range. I got FAMOUS and VIXEN in the contour kit. Famous is a deep red quite vampy shade. and Vixen is a deep brown. I find them perfect for fall!
- Non drying formula
- Pleasing smell
- Creamy and non streaky appliaction
- Settles in a matte finish
- Feels like not wearing anything
- Very pigmented
- Nice shade range
- Parabens free
- Takes time for drying
- Not completely transfer proof
- Expensive
- Not available in all countries
The liquid lipsticks are good with few cons. But I cant say if I will really buy them again as there are many more similar options with different shades and less or same price.

So as you may have noticed, our various social media organs have been verily thrumming with news about City Councilman Bill Greenlee's proposed legislation requiring a City Council ordinance for new bike lanes. We were opposed to it for reasons even we are getting a little tired of repeating. Today, Mr. Greenlee proposed that the ordinance be held, delaying its consideration and dramatically decreasing the chances that it will appear again (at least in its current form).
A recap:
The Streets and Services Committee hearing was held this afternoon. Approximately 70 of the 90 people in attendance were there because of the bike lane ordinance. There was a smattering of helmets and lycra. The only members of the City Council present were Councilmen DiCicco, Greenlee, and Green, and Councilwoman Quinones-Sanchez (none wearing helmets or lycra). Mr. Greenlee honored tradition by prefacing the bill by saying, "he wasn't against bike lanes." For him, the bill was about transparency and creating consistency with the other aspects of traffic control that City Council already approves. Mr. DiCicco said most of the comments he had received on bike lanes were negative, and while he was not anti-bike lane, he was interested in creating transparency and procedure. Ms. Sanchez said she had a positive experience with the Berks Street bike lane, and she was supportive of the Streets Department's current procedures for installing bike lanes.
Deputy Mayor for Transportation Rina Cutler's testimony was the bulk of the deliberation. Mr. Green and Ms. Cutler had the most impassioned back-and-forth. Mr. Green tried to assert that installing bike lanes had nothing to do with traffic engineering or public safety. Ms. Cutler politely but forcefully disagreed. Mr. Green questioned the Streets Department's process and legal authority to install bike lanes. Ms. Cutler defended the City's current procedures as a resplendent process inundated with outside input (our phrasing).
Mr. Green also dismissed the attending crowd as "sixty members of the Bicycle Coalition and ten members of the public."
In the end, Ms. Culter proposed that a Streets Department regulation could facilitate notification and transparency about when bike lanes were proposed for installation. She said that she would work with Council staff to draft a regulation which would notify the public about forthcoming bike lanes and invite comment, avoiding the need for ordinances for every lane. Mr. Greenlee seemed satisfied with that and proposed that the the bill be held for further deliberation.
The takeaway:
The Bicycle Coalition is very pleased with this outcome and thinks it is an appropriate solution. We look forward to having input on the proposed regulation. We thank Deputy Mayor Rina Cutler for working out an alternative to the bike lane ordinance bill and thank all Councilmembers for holding the bill and being willing to work on this alternative.
Many thanks to everyone who wrote letters, made phone calls, retweeted our posts, and came to the hearing. Your actions made all the difference.

How dismissive! I guess cyclist are not considered "members of the public" to Mr. Greenlee?
- Kelvyn said...
Great job keeping us informed on the hearing. As usual, some council members claim to want transparency, then turn around and insult those who bother to show up as zealots. The idea that the current Bike lane approval process is somehow hidden and inaccessible was blown to bits by Deputy Mayor Cutler, who came armed with the number of calls they've received, for & agin. There's some video excerpts here:

A small Unesco site that introduces you to the most famous and renowned cave art from Capodiponte. In 1961, in the area of Corni Freschi (Fresh Horns) on the right shore of River Oglio, at the foot of Mount Monticolo, an enormous rock fallen from the backwall and split in half was found to have been carved after its fall, the same way, therefore, the two huge rocks in Cemmo were carved, as well as the Rock number 30 in Foppe di Nadro.

Debtors in London's Fleet and King's Bench prisons, for example, might lodge … Continue reading Rethinking the meaning of imprisonment in the 1690s

The Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) was set up as an independent body to investigate student complaints. Anyone registered as a student, or within three months of graduating, can submit a complaint - so long as all University procedures have been exhausted.
The OIA will hear complaints about a wide range of issues where a University has failed to act or has made an omission.
These include: any final decision of the university, a service provided by the university, teaching and facilities, student accommodation, research supervision, welfare, discrimination, bullying and harassment, placements, maladministration, procedural irregularities, unfair practices, disciplinary matters and fitness to Practise issues.
The OIA cannot look at concerns involving: admissions, academic judgment, student employment, matters which have already been considered by a court or tribunal and complaint that are frivolous or vexatious.
For more information on complaints that the OIA can and cannot look at, please click here.
Our Advisors can offer support to students presenting a complaint to the OIA. You must have completed all stages of the University's complaints or appeals procedures before you can approach the OIA and you can prove this by getting a completion of procedures letter from the University.
The Advice Service can help you prepare an application to the Independent Adjudicator even if we have not been involved in your case up to that point.

Underwear thief- f*** you you piece of s***
This morning I took my clothes down to the laundry room in my building. I forgot to grab quarters so I left it and went back to my apartment. I was gone for about 15 minutes or so, got a phone call.
When I went back down someone had gone through my baskets and taken every pair of my underwear, my sports bras and my nylons and tight. What the f***! I've lived here for 3 years and have never had any problems.
I now own two pair of underwear. The ones I'm wearing and a pair of period undies. Part of me wants to start banging on doors until I find the f***** who did this.
So I guess I get to spend money I can't afford to to go buy new underwear.

You can buy small hidden camera's to catch someone taking anymore you may leave there.
You must have one sweet smelling p**** if they took them all. Or maybe the person is just into skid marks.
I've swiped panties when I was younger but I'd never been bold enough to take everything.
I hear ya, some a****** stole my laundry money just the other day $20 - people suck
I'm sorry this happened to you. The worlds full of losers and you just had a run in with one.

Tetra Invaders
A downloadable game for Windows
A hot summer day. A beautiful girl singing. It's snowing on Mt. Fuji.
And then you wake up...
You awaken to an alien invasion. Blocks falling all around you, you must destroy the UFO or be destroyed yourself. Pick your weapon, and prepare for combat between you and a UFO.
-A fast paced, local, 1v1 arcade puzzle-shooter.
-A mash-up of ideas from games like Tetris, Contra, and Space Invaders.
-Player 1 uses the keyboard to control the alien, and Player 2 uses a controller to control the human. ( (1)keyboard / (1)controller required to play )
-P1 Controls: Arrow Keys; Space; 'Z'; 'X'; 'C'; 'V; 'A'; 'S'; 'D'; 'F';
-Control Tetris blocks to crush the human, and use techniques to help aid in this quest.
-P2 Controls: D-Pad; Start; 'A'; 'B'; 'X'; 'Y'; 'RT'; 'LT'; 'RB'; 'LB';
-As a soldier on the ground; run, jump, and blow up blocks to stay alive long enough to shoot the UFO down.
-Select 4 techniques as the UFO; Select a Gun as the Human;
-Fight until the UFO is destroyed, or the Human loses all 3 lives.
This is my first game I'm releasing to the world. It was made as a side project when another game I was working on turned into a larger beast than I had planned for a first release. I set a limit of 4 days for it, but 4 days turned into 7, and this is the result. As a result this is mostly a core or prototype to build on, and I'd like to continue building on it. I did spend a large chunk of that time to polish and bug hunt though, so it's a playable prototype. I'll also be seeking an artist, so if your a pixelartist, please send me a link to your stuff. It will be a free project, but if this game gets some traction I'd like to expand it into a game I could put up for sell, and expand this hobby into a career.
I hope you'll try it and enjoy a classic couch battle between friends with this game. If you'd like to give feedback or criticism, I'm always open to it, as I want to get better at this.
I'd like to thank Justin Howard (@jhow1138 -twitter) for the music. He took an idea, and produced great results.
Also, thanks to Yoyo Games and the Game Maker community. I would still be stuck with ideas flying around in my head and no way to make them without this program and community.
Contact and follow me on twitter @ethanhdgs or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks for at least making it all the way to the end of the description, and download my game so you didn't waste time reading it. :D

Rock star Ted Nugent is speaking out again, this time for Michigan Republican U-S Senate candidate Mike Bouchard.
Nugent and Bouchard, the Oakland County, Michigan, sheriff, met with supporters tonight before the "Motor City Madman" performed at a Sault Sainte Marie casino.
Bouchard faces Troy minister Keith Butler in the August-eighth G-O-P primary. The winner will face incumbent Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow in November...
Longtime readers of my blog have seen most of these already, but here are a few of Nugent's most charming quips:
"My being there (South Africa) isn't going to affect any political structure. Besides, apartheid isn't that cut-and-dry. All men are not created equal." - Detroit Free Press Magazine , July 15, 1990
"...Yeah, we want to go to Saudi Arabia, man, and see if we can't get a four iron and knock people's laundry off the top of their heads. Wear laundry on your head and die, is the basic theme of the Damn Yankees ... (The Damn Yankees was Ted's band in the '90s)" - WRIF-FM, Detroit, Ted Nugent as guest D.J., September 25, 1990
"... Yeah they love me (in Japan) - they're still assholes. These people they don't know what life is. I don't have a following, they need me; they don't like me they need me ... Foreigners are assholes; foreigners are scum; I don't like 'em; I don't want 'em in this country; I don't want 'em selling me doughnuts; I don't want 'em pumping my gas; I don't want 'em downwind of my life-OK? So anyhow-and I'm dead serious ..." - WRIF-FM, Detroit, Ted Nugent as guest D.J., November 19, 1992
About Hillary Clinton: "You probably can't use the term 'toxic cunt' in your magazine, but that's what she is. Her very existence insults the spirit of individualism in this country. This bitch is nothing but a two-bit whore for Fidel Castro." - Westword Newspaper , Denver, Colorado, July 27, 1994
... Interviewed in late '92 on WRIF-FM ... he referred to Heidi Prescott (of The Fund for Animals) as a 'worhtless whore' and a 'shallow slut' and suggested 'Who needs to club a seal, when you could club Heidi?' Detroit Free Press , April 5, 1995
More here.
Bouchard leads Butler in the polls.
Forget Ann Coulter -- why is Nugent not beyond the pale? Because he rawks?

I received an email from a music magazine's publisher asking me to contribute interview questions directed to him. He stated that nothing was off limits. I could ask him whatever I wanted. I composed the following email and sent it to him. He replied an hour later saying that his magazine had one rule. "NO religion or politics."
So much for "nothing is off limits" questions. He knows me, my work, my band. I don't plan on following this up with him. I guess I'm allowed to ask, but he isn't going to answer.
Here, for the record, are my questions.
In November, the abstract I submitted to the EMP (now Museum of Pop Culture — MoPOP) Pop Conference was accepted. I've never applied before, but with the focus on music related to politics, I felt compelled to contribute.
I submitted a presentation titled "How I Became a Successful Agent for Radical Social Change" during which David (Lester) and I will draw from our 60-minute classroom presentation "How Art and Music Can Change the World" which outlines how we came to inspire the co-founders of the 1990s social movement known as Riot Grrrl.
Actually, the dates are significant. I applied on November 8, before the polls closed, but when I received the acceptance email mid-December, both the title and the content of my talk seemed entirely different than when I submitted it! It felt like we'd slid backwards a fair few notches with little foreseeable hope of resuming the kind progressive social change that positively impacts the vast majority.
With these concerns in mind, here are my questions for you!
How do you think music that relates to politics will manifest under a Trump government? Will there be an upswing in political bands and events?
Do you think art – and music specifically – can impact the direction the US is taking?
As people re-evaluate their news sources (go Teen Vogue!), do you, as a journalist and publisher, see a new role or responsibility, or will your content mandate remain the same?
Which American bands with progressive lyrics come to mind in terms of having the potential to address, inspire and motivate large groups of people? Or is that even something a band and music fans should concern themselves with? Should lyricists continue to focus on 'love' as a major theme, obfuscating their feelings and song meanings through semantics and idiosyncratic references? What would you like to see happen on the lyric frontier?
I've noticed that Americans seem to love mystery when it comes to celebrity engagement. There is a love of speculation. What is that person really like? Do you think transparency in terms of the directness a band might want to take with its lyrics and interviews would negatively impact its likelihood of success? Is the tradition of mystique worth protecting in this coming era?
Would now be a good time for lyricists to use their words in ways that have previously seemed vaguely unnecessary or should we wait until it we've exhausted other forms of protest before we expect the arts to address and reflect the decline in the quality of life?
Which do you think will occupy people's mind's more in terms of time spent in spectator mode – escapist entertainment or activist culture? By that I mean, which will seem to be the more demanding of following?
I'm basically in the music industry, but way out on the D-I-Y fringes, creating art that intends to connect beauty, truth and understanding for people who are not willfully destroying tolerance. I would have chosen an entirely different direction if I'd been in it for money or fame. You come into contact with music and people I know little about. I recall years ago a local band pulling out of a benefit show to free political prisoners. Word got back through the community that their management thought it might be bad for their career. They did have a very nice career, as it turns out!
Do you think there a fear that writing political lyrics might be damaging to a band's career?
Is there a lack of confidence there in terms of making a misstep or is it simply an industry taboo to state what you believe if you think there's going to be backlash?
Do you think bands care more about being famous, "making it big" or affecting progressive social change with their music?
For myself, I find writing the lyrics for political songs quite difficult. I feel a huge responsibility to get it right even though my audience is minuscule. I want to say things in songs that will be interpreted, first of all, the way I mean them, and, second of all, to have them used as fuel in individual lives. That's a tall order. I've been formulating a plan that would bring creative types together to work collaboratively on such material as a sort of sounding board and checks and balance element to the process. Working (writing) with an opportunity for other people's input (not necessarily from those directly involved in any given project) may be a way forward for political content.
Have you considered anything new for [your magazine] to regularly feature music related to politics? Maybe a section where artists writing political lyrics could talk about what motivated them, what they mean explicitly, what they intended to achieve, what sort of response they'd had in terms of feedback, networking etc.

Jonathan Becker said his agency is the largest provider of senior services in southern Illinois. He said someone stole equipment from the agency's greenhouse last week.
The thief took aeration systems, PVC connectors, and grow lights, according to Becker. He said the thief also damaged the electrical system in the process. Becker estimates the damage is near $3,000.
"They're not hurting so much our agency, but really the people that we serve," he said.
A surveillance video showed the individual loading a cart with the items and then pushing the cart away. The theft was noticed Monday morning. Becker said it took place the morning after Thanksgiving.
"We saw somebody walk up pretty brazenly and take a cart, one of our own carts, and just filled up the cart and walked down the street I guess," Becker said.
Becker said his agency was in the process of planting their winter crop and said the theft will now delay plans. Senior Services Plus grows organic food and sells it through a restaurant. The proceeds fund programs that result in hundreds of meals being delivered to senior citizens.
The agency also provides a wellness center and is expanding soon. Becker said he's hopeful donations will help offset the damage and is also hoping the thief finds a way to avoid stealing in the future.
"I just hope there's some help for somebody who is in a situation where they feel like they need to steal from an agency that really is just serving poor seniors," said Becker. "I mean, I hope they get the help they need."

I was at a Cubs game this past season with a friend of mine who's in the heating and air conditioning business; he works for one of the major companies—a name you would immediately recognize—and deals directly with a number of their dealers in the Midwest. It's his job to help these dealers increase sales to the public. Since I have no desire to cause him any grief, I'll refer to him as Craig, an alias.
It was from Craig I first heard the term "Bitch to Buy Ratio," which refers to the amount of grief a customer gives you, in juxtaposition to the profits he provides. Alas, we all have experienced customers who dish out more grief than the amount of money we earn serving them is worth; or so it subjectively seems. A number of my colleagues in North America's Best have written articles on this subject. The big question these articles always ask is, When is "enough" enough? When is it time to fire a customer?
In my early 20s, before I got into the telephone-book-cover advertising business, I sold residential real estate for three fearful, undisciplined years—unfortunately, not all that successfully. Trust me, "fearful" and "undisciplined" do not lead to "success." I recall selling a house to a man who, after the contract was accepted, repeatedly pushed for additional concessions from the seller; he was totally out of line, but I was so fearful of losing the sale that I gave in to him each time. Two years later I was taught to sell fearlessly and emphatically would have said no to his outrageous demands. When a salesperson can walk away from a bad deal or an abusive customer (when the Bitch to Buy Ratio is completely out of sync), the balance of power shifts in favor of the salesperson.
You have only so much time to work. You want to spend that time productively. You want to enjoy your work, not dread it. Why put up with a prospect/customer whom you dread calling on and causes you to lose sleep at night? Why put up with a never-ending deluge of moaning, groaning, and complaining from a whiner who isn't paying you nearly enough to take all his crap?
You don't have to!
Fire him! Let him dish out his nonsense to some other unsuspecting salesperson. The glory of sales is that there will always be plenty of other fish in the sea for you to go after.
Sometimes in life we have to cut our losses and move on. Keep that in mind when the Bitch to Buy Ratio gets out of hand, when your instincts tell you it's time to fire the SOB and replace him with someone you'll truly enjoy doing business with; someone who will be worth your precious time.

The survey is designed to answer a number of important questions you should be interested in. What do you get out of it? As soon as the survey results are ready, Jill will send you a copy.

What started out as my first Mustang [2006] has turned into one hell of a learning experience. I have made mistakes with my engine combo, double [hell, triple] spent on certain items, and even re-purposed the entire project three times. When the original 5.0 developed a rod knock [2008], we replaced it with a simple 306 [2009] with ported heads, E303 cam and an explorer intake that made 243/298. It served me well for about six months when it lost oil pressure and I parked it. After some decision making, I had a 410w built and thats when things got frusterating. The project went on a roller coaster of highs and lows for a few years [2009-2012] and work was only sporadic at best. The paint mostly fell off, parts were stolen, finally got it running [2013] but discovered the valve springs were too soft. That led to the already junk heads being CNC ported, correct valve springs installed, a new intake, and long tube headers being installed. [2014] Along the way, I had even started collecting parts for an IRS swap but then sold the IRS swap for a watts link [2015] and now, after changing my mind AGAIN, I'm going with a PHB/HD torque arm combo from Maximum Motorsports. [2016] Wrecked my daily driver '98 GT, sold the 410w and bought a rebuilt 4.6 4V from a wrecked 98 Cobra. The original intent was to make three cars into one. Then I discovered the 4v had a couple of burnt valves and a blown head gasket. Crap. So, I just bought a 2015 F150 for a daily driver. [2017] Collected parts, stripped the '95 to the shell and completely rewired it to '98 specs. 2018] Built the engine with a metric #### ton of help from @lwarrior1016 and have spent the rest of the year "finishing it".

Setting up multiple network cameras around your home and business is a wise way to provide surveillance and security, and thus peace of mind. But rather than installing multiple monitors or checking multiple websites to keep an eye on things, by installing a network camera management system, you'll be able to go to a single source for all of your visual monitoring. Whether you'll be on site and checking in through your network, or away from the premises, logging in through the Internet, you'll always have instant access to the goings-on at your property, thanks to the Panasonic Home Gateway, which provides a network connection for up to 16 wired or wireless surveillance cameras (sold separately).
Network setup is simple, as the Home Gateway's camera management system automatically configures up to 16 Panasonic network cameras; other cameras can be configured manually. In addition, the Home Gateway will enable Internet access, create a custom portal page, and enable multi-level security control. A customized, flexible network for your computing environment is made possible by 802.11b/g wireless communication as well as four switched Ethernet connections. The Home Gateway will simplify the entire process of getting your network devices on line by connecting multiple cameras to the Internet through a single cable or DSL line.
Through its web server, the Home Gateway automatically adds the image from up to 16 cameras on a single web page, which can be accessed from a local network or even the Internet. Just click a camera image on the camera portal page, and that camera's individual screen will open, allowing you to view and control that camera easily. You can even access the camera portal page from your cell phone, for surveillance on the go. The Home Gateway can send an email to your PC or mobile phone if a camera disconnection is detected.
You'll enjoy added security, thanks to the Home Gateway. Powerful 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption helps protect your wireless network from illegal intrusion. The camera management system's built-in firewall helps protect every network computer from hackers. The system can use SSID, stealth SSID, MAC address filtering, and open system/shared key exchange to limit access to your wireless network. You can even view logs of connection IPs, mail transmission, or data communications.
The Home Gateway is compatible with PPTP (IPv4) and IPsec (IPv6) for VPN.

Recently I learned a new thing about contact lenses. The lenses are not always the same. Having sight in one eye all of my life I have a hard time understanding the two-eyed world sometimes. I learned that you can actually have one contact lens is for far-sightedness and the other for near-sightedness. How the eyes work together is a marvel.
During the season of Advent I think we need to have two different lenses in our spirit. One lens sees the current reality of the coming of Christ in this holy season of 2010. With this lens we ponder our personal walk with Christ and how we can prepare our hearts in such a way that we "bear fruit that is worthy of repentance." (Luke 3:8) These actions are the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians s5:22). When we truly repent of the works of the flesh we engage in the fruits of the Spirit in new and ever improving ways.
The other contact lens that sees far is the one that reminds us of the second coming of Christ when all things will be judged and evil and enmity will be put away forever. With this far-sighted view we develop a long-suffering attitude, knowing that in the end God is going to make all things right. We want to live in such a way, through faith in Christ that we are worthy to attain life everlasting.
Martin Luther once said that he lived for two days: today and THAT day. That day is the day of the final coming of Christ. May we keep both lenses firmly in place as we experience this Advent Season.

Siren' Song is the latest in Dana Marie Bell's Gray Court series. This is a most inventive and imaginative world, filled with all sorts of mythical beings and intriguing undercurrents. Each book builds on the one before; although each can be enjoyed on its own merits, the series is best read in order.
Oberon is High King of the Gray Court, and ultimate ruler of both the Black and White Courts of Fae. He has been alone for centuries, having been betrayed by Titannia, Queen of the Black Court, and once his bonded mate. When Oberon goes missing, his heir and friend Robin Goodfellow is determined to get his King back safe. When Shane Dunne sends Princess Cassandra Nerice out to find Oberon, Robin understands that everything that has or will happen has been foreseen by Shane and the Seer. When Cassie finds Oberon on the road, he has no memory of who or what he is, but he instinctively trusts Cassie to help him. Cassie knows she is Oberon's truebond, but believes he will reject her once she is able to restore his memory and health. The intrigues of the three courts become intertwined when Oberon finds that he has been poisoned, and that his true bond's life is in danger. Who is behind the plot to start a war; is it the Black court, under Queen Titannia, or the White Court of Gloriana? Can Cassie finally find the happiness she deserves with Oberon?
I enjoy this world, where magic runs through each and every being, and where mere mortals mingle and mix unknowingly. Ms. Bell creates the most charismatic characters, people you enjoy knowing and look forward to seeing again.
Oberon is high king over the three courts of faerie, and his power is absolute. He is powerful and strong, reserved except with a very few of his closest friends. He is seen as cold by those outside his immediate circle, but he has had to be so after the dissolution of his bond with Titannia. He has no desire for another mate, until he hears the prophecy and then meets Cassie while on the run from those who would see a war started between the Black and White Courts. I like Oberon, with his staid demeanor and his small but wicked flashes of humor and his determined protection of his bondmate, Princess Cassandra Nerice of Atlantis.
Cassandra 'Cassie' Nerice is a strong and determined woman, a healer and sensitive woman. She is not a 'conventional' beauty, but has strength of spirit that shines through to all who get to know her. I enjoyed watching as Cassie found her way in the world of the Gray Court, and as she learned how caring and intriguing Oberon can be. I loved that she was sassy and sarcastic, and was able to match wits with Robin as well as with Oberon, and that she brought some light and passion to the High King's life.
There are some seriously dangerous moments for Cassie and Oberon, and Court intrigues that are, at first, mysterious in origin. It took some time for the truth to come out about who was behind the machinations of it all, and the solutions were, in a few cases, severe and unyielding. The chemistry between Oberon and Cassie is strong and passionate, and this is a most enjoyable visit to the Gray Court. I highly recommend this series by Dana Marie Bell, and it is best to be warned that there will be lots of laughter, some tears and some sighs along the way to the thoroughly satisfying conclusion to this book. I look forward to the next Gray Court adventure and a visit with old and new friends.

Draft depth could benefit the Padres
RHP Austin Smith the club's top pick at No. 51
Bill Center, longtime sportswriter for U-T San Diego, is an employee of the Padres.
The Padres might have picked a great time to surrender their first two picks in the draft (Nos. 17 and 41 overall) to better themselves via free agency (right-handed starter James Shields) and trade (right-handed closer Craig Kimbrel).
While this year's amateur draft - which started Monday - has a lot of depth, there was the great talent at the top as with some recent drafts . . . no Kris Bryants or Bryce Harpers out there this season.
"This draft was a little lighter at the top, but I think it will produce a lot of big leaguers," Padres director of scouting Mark Conner said Monday night after the Padres made right-handed, high school pitcher Austin Smith their first pick with the 51st overall selection in the draft.
"There is a lot of depth in this draft," Conner continued. "You are going to see Major League players from the middle and later rounds. They will develop."
This is the first Padres' amateur draft conducted under the team led by General Manager A.J. Preller and Conner. But there is more to this signing season than the 40-round draft. Preller, and top talent evaluator Don Welke, are recognized as leading players in the international free agent market. That signing season starts next month.
The Padres traded away 10 prospects last winter as Preller upgraded the Major League roster through trades. Preller and ownership agree that the Padres' long-term future is keyed on developing players in the farm system. This summer is an important first step.
Meanwhile, Conner and Preller seem very happy to acquire Smith with their first pick.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder attended the same Florida High School (Park Vista Community) that produced the Padres first pick (shortstop Trea Turner) in last year's draft. Smith was 8-2 with a 1.03 earned run average this season.
Conner said Smith has a three-pitch mix with a fastball that ranges from 89-96 mph. His second-best pitch is his changeup over the curve.
"Austin has a big body on a good frame," said Conner. "He is big, strong and durable. He has a good, clean delivery and multiple weapons."
Although Smith has a college commitment, Conner believes he is signable.
The 51st draft slot is assigned a signing value of $1.78 million.
"We were very excited Austin there for our pick," said conner. "There were countless scenarios we were running through. As the day unfolded, we were erasing names from our list. There were a group of players we liked. I think our (scouting) group did a great job."
Smith last year pitched in a high school all-star game at Petco Park and later pitched the U.S. team that won the Pan-American Championship in Mexico.
-- Right-handed reliever Brandon Maurer has been credited with the win in each of his last two appearances with the Padres to run his record to 3-0. Monday night was Maurer's fifth straight scoreless appearance (one hit with four strikeouts over five innings) and his 17th in his last 18 outings. Since the start of May, Maurer has allowed one run on seven hits and two walks with 15 strikeouts over 19 innings as his earned run average has dropped from 4.50 to 1.86.
-- Padres relievers worked six straight scoreless innings Monday night in Atlanta as the offense rallied for a 5-3 win in 11 innings. The Padres bullpen has not allowed a run in four appearances covering 16 1/3 innings (eight hits and four walks with 12 strikeouts. The relievers have not allowed an earned run in their last 23 1/3 innings (one unearned run on 13 hits and six walks with 19 strikeouts).
-- Right fielder Matt Kemp is 8-for-21 with three doubles, a home run, six RBIs, a steal and four runs scored in a five-game hitting streak.
-- First baseman Yonder Alonso is 10-for-22 with a double, a home run, two walks, a hit-by-pitcher (good for a .520 on-base percentage), six RBIs and five runs scored since coming off the disabled list.

Resting in the EYE of the STORMS Part # 2 Dr. Kluane Spake You can rest in the eye of the storm. The Bible tells about a lot of different storms: The Lord has His way in the whirlwind (Nah. 1:3), Elijah went into heaven in a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11), God spoke to Job in a whirlwind (Job 38:1). Are you listening? Peace centers within the storm where God dwells. God lives in storms. If/when the cyclone of life intensifies, we must go deeper into the tranquil center of Him. Ezekiel describes the appearance and the likeness of the Glory of the Lord (1:28). He speaks of wind, clouds, and fire. Prophets compared the day of the Lord to a storm. Meteorologists refer to the center of the storm as the "eye." Jesus told us to be single-eyed, "If the eye is clear, the whole body will be full of light" (Matt. 6:22-23). No matter what turbulence surrounds them, vanguard believers race to the center, where all roads converge and focus. Without focus everything blurs and we lose direction. When we become single-eyed, we move into clarity. Get into the center of the storm, to the place of calm. Find that REST. THE ONLY PLACE OF REST IS IN THE EYE OF THE STORM. Ezekiel depicts a whirlwind ( Ruwach the Spirit) where the wheel within the wheel enfolds inwardly into itself, while moving forward. This represents the cooperative church moving together as one (Ezekiel 1:12). This living creature (the church), "Went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went." Each part joined as one and moved straight forward. The word Straight (#2266 Strongs) comes from the root word "to cross over" which can also be rendered "crossing with straight and unchanging purpose." Reading further, the indescribable storm-like creature wondrously shimmers as amber electrons flash-forth in greatest splendor. Psalms 29:3 says that in stormy conditions, God's voice thunders over turbulent water, shaking the wilderness, and causing the deer to give birth (vs.6-9). His voice commissions you to give birth to the Word, and in response your heart leaps in expectation. Along the way, there's always another storm to cross over with unchanging purpose. He leads us upon His holy waters — from where we are to where He wants us to go; from the known to the unfamiliar places of the unknown. Like the exhausted followers upon that stormy lake, we wearied of contending with the dark waves of adversity. The One Who calms every storm teaches us to persevere. The waves may be over our head, but as with the ebb and flow of good times and bad, storms eventually end. Wind and waves can't move us from our finishing our course. Through it all, His authority perfects itself as we yield to His dealings. Keep in mind, the worst storms always come just before the biggest opposition. There's always something bigger waiting on the other side. Even the disciples were ill prepared for what they found in the morning light. What's that? You're getting the picture? It's not tranquil over here either. FacebookTwitterGoogle+EmailWebsiteDr. Kluane Posted on Sunday, September 10, 2017 Category: REFORM

From simple web hosting plans to our VPS packages, all come fully packed features and are scalable to meet your needs.
All Plans Include:
Comprehensive SLAs
Regular Backups
Multi-domain Hosting
Guaranteed Uptime
Migration Support
Stuck with a useless hosting provider? You don't have to be!
Our support team are happy to help you throughout your migration as a fully inclusive part of our service. We'll help get everything set up the way you like it, and running smoothly for a fresh start.
A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is where physical server resources are shared between multiple seperate 'virtual' servers. Each of the virtual servers are allocated dedicated portions of the resources and run the same operating systems and behave exactly as a physical server would. The benefits of this configuration are scalability; resources can be increased or decreased as required, and availability; virtual servers can automatically move to another physical server if there is a failure.
Coupling this technology with cloud computing, we are able to provide your own VPS in the cloud that you can access from anywhere via the Internet. You will be able to access all the features you would expect from a dedicated server, including remote desktop services, without having to invest in dedicated server equipment and installation.
Our Virtual Private Servers are powered by Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 and run Microsoft Windows Server 2008. They behave exactly like a stand-alone server would do for both users and applications.
We are a Microsoft Partner and Windows hosting specialists. The operating system we trust on our servers is Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2. Due to high-demand, we are currently adding Linux servers to the datacentre to offer Linux hosting in the near future.
Yes, we allow you to purchase additional RAM and diskspace during the sign up process, or upgrade at anytime during your plan.
Yes we do. Our hours of operation are stated on the contact us page of our website, please have your account details to hand, as well as the answer to your security question.
By default all our VPS packages are provided with basic support during our work hours with no additional cost. Though we allow you to benefit further by opting for our fully managed add-on. This ensures that your VPS experience is fully stress free, and our support team are there to handle maintenance and monitoring of your server. You can purchase our fully managed add-on for your VPS, you can do so with an additional cost from £75.00 / month. This can be done either at the time of registration of your VPS or at anytime during the plan.
As we're sure you know - some hosts may offer 'unlimited' storage. The reason why we don't offer or advertise 'unlimited' disk space is very simple... Because it is NOT possible. If you read the small print (usually in the T&Cs) you'll find that it's only unlimited until you go over their 'normal site usage'
With HOST100, your account's disk space resources are guaranteed when you purchase. We DO NOT overload our servers, instead of being "unlimited" and incurring hefty fines, you are only responsible for paying for the resources you use.
Your VPS is automatically provisioned as soon as your order is complete, our system will send you credentials to login and use your VPS. In addition to this, we manually configure our included control panel software on each VPS, this is processed within our business working hours.
Our web hosting plans are flexible and the minimum contract period is only one month. If there is a sudden change in demand for your site, you can make changes to your account at any time. We do offer discounts for services purchased for 12 months, so to get the best value look at the annual billing options.
All our VPS packages include email addresses/mailboxes as standard. Simply log into the control panel and create and modify the accounts and addresses in the mail section.
The control panel we use is WebsitePanel, which is a popular choice for Microsoft Windows based hosting. It allows us to automatically provision our hosting services, so you can get instant access to set up websites, email and more.
All our servers are located within a secure eco-friendly datacentre the UK. For more information on our datacentre, click here.
All prices exclude VAT except where stated.
