Today we take a look at Power Forwards, perhaps the most versatile position in the NBA. Coaches like to slot these guys in the Center position, move them to fill in at Small Forward, and take them to the bowling alley for some downtime. I'm not sure if that last part is true, but most of these guys will have dual eligibility in some important position, and because there are only five positions, that's a minor consideration at best. Whoo boy, anyway, I want to grab one of these guys early. let's take a look at these guys as we continue our 2012-2013 fantasy basketball rankings.
1. Kevin Love – See top ten for 2012 fantasy basketball for Kevin Love's projections.
2. Josh Smith – See top ten for 2012 fantasy basketball for Josh Smith's projections.
3. Pau Gasol – See top ten for 2012 fantasy basketball for Pau Gasol's projections.
4. LaMarcus Aldridge – See top twenty for 2012 fantasy basketball for LaMarcus Aldridge's projections. This ends our first tier, what I call "the Cream of the Crop."
5. Blake Griffin – See top twenty for 2012 fantasy basketball for Blake Griffin's projections. This is a new tier, which only includes Griffin, because Griffin is a controversial guy to rank. I like his pros more than his cons, but other 'perts hold the opposite view. If you're a cat lover, you can overlook his bird features.
6. David Lee – Lee kicks off our next tier, dubbed "Silver plated studs," which runs to Bosh. I like Lee a bit, and not because I still have a warm spot for him from his days as a Knick. If you ignore his laughably poor shot blocking ability, he actually has quite a number of solid and desirable stats. He delivers high quality ratios and should dish out more dimes than anyone below him. If he could go at least 20/10, that would be perfect. I want 20/10 so we'll all close our eyes and wish it to happen. And…it's gonna happen. We did it. Congratulations, everyone. Wishes do come true, particularly if you have a terminal childhood disease. Projections: .513 fg/.791 ft/0.0 3pt/21.2 pts/9.9 rbd/3.1 ast/1.0 stl/0.4 blk/2.5 tov
7. Dirk Nowitzki – If you don't like Dirk, you are a big jerk. I like Dirk. He's cool. It was awesome to see him win a title. He makes tall awkward white guys like myself feel good. Here's the thing, though. His minutes and counting stats have been slowly heading south, and I don't see any reason for that to change with age. He's got a few more seasons in the top ten, but he's not top 5 for me. Projections: .490 fg/.888 ft/1.1 3pt/21.3 pts/6.9 rbd/2.1 ast/0.8 stl/0.7 blk/1.9 tov
8. Paul Millsap – What makes Millsap attractive is…certainly not his face. Hey-o! Wait, that was uncalled for. What makes him attractive are his high steals (for a Power Forward) and steady stream of assists and rebounds. His high end sees him 20/12, but I don't think he's there. Still, if he's going to do it, now's the time. Also, every few games he'll gift you a three. That's always nice. He may be competing for minutes with Derrick Favors, and my FT% numbers are optimistic, but I wouldn't pass on him. Projections: .512 fg/.800 ft/0.1 3pt/17.5 pts/9.4 rbd/2.4 ast/1.7 stl/0.9 blk/2.0 tov
9. Zach Randolph – It looks like Zach Randolph's head never developed past 13. He has a child's head on a man's body. It creeps me out. Regardless, you don't need a normal looking head to grab a prodigious number of rebounds. He isn't very good at blocking, in fact there are Point Guards who block more often than he does (by the way, does it bother you when I capitalize positions?). He could be ranked higher, but I feel like you're really only getting (great) points and rebounds with him and not enough else. Projections: .482 fg/.710 ft/0.1 3pt/18.7 pts/11.1 rbd/1.9 ast/0.9 stl/0.2 blk/2.0 tov
10. Chris Bosh – I debated where to put him. Miami is a good team in real life but not always a great team to have players on for fantasy purposes. His numbers take a hit playing with superstars, but he still manages to put up top ten production. Projections: .486 fg/.815 ft/0.1 3pt/18.5 pts/8.6 rbd/1.9 ast/0.7 stl/0.9 blk/2.2 tov
11. Tim Duncan – Lookee here, a new tier, called "I don't see the Riddler but these guys have question marks on them." Duncan hasn't played more than 30 MPG the past two seasons, and his PPG has suffered because of it. Those numbers should continue to trend down, not up. There's still some gas in the tank, but he's 36 in human years, which is 78 in basketball years. He pees a little when he coughs. Good guy, though. Projections: .488 fg/.700 ft/0.0 3pt/14.8 pts/8.8 rbd/2.3 ast/0.6 stl/1.6 blk/1.5 tov
12. Amar'e Stoudemire – If there was a category for punching through glass, we'd have Stoudemire ranked higher. Having listened to WFAN and ESPN NY during the past season, I can tell you most of New York City was aggravated with Stat's performance, so fantasy owners can join the brotherhood. I'm not sure I buy the fact that he was pouting and sullen over having to share the spotlight with Carmelo Anthony. I will chalk it up to a down year and hope for more this time around. Hopefully, his bad back doesn't pee on my hope. Projections: .522 fg/.784 ft/0.0 3pt/22.5 pts/8.3 rbd/1.8 ast/0.8 stl/1.2 blk/2.9 tov
13. Kris Humphries – This tier is called "Tommy Tutone and other one hit wonders" and runs through Ibaka. This tier focuses on guys who have tremendous value in one category. This far down, you are getting quite a deal in rebounds. I don't care who he has married, is married to, or will marry again (unless it's me, then I have concerns), so long as he keeps grabbing boards and throwing in satisfactory points and blocks. Projections: .500 fg/.704 ft/0.0 3pt/14.8 pts/11.7 rbd/1.6 ast/0.7 stl/1.3 blk/2.3 tov
14. Ryan Anderson – I have a deep affinity for Ryan Anderson for no other reason than his ability to score from all over, particularly beyond the arc. He has a great eye, maybe even two eyes, but he doesn't offer enough in the assists, steals and blocks categories. His high FT% would technically make him a two hit wonder. Projections: .440 fg/.888 ft/2.6 3pt/18.6 pts/8.5 rbd/0.8 ast/0.7 stl/0.3 blk/1.2 tov
15. Serge Ibaka – I am crazy high on his block projections, but he can reach the mark. He has decent numbers in FG% and TOV, and his rebounds are serviceable. He's a little soft from the free throw line. Like a lonely scientist, I theorized about Ibaka here. Projections: .540 fg/.680 ft/0.0 3pt/10.0 pts/8.0 rbd/0.4 ast/0.6 stl/4.1 blk/1.1 tov
16. Andrea Bargnani – This tier is "Girl's Club" and includes my favorite chicks, Andrea and Nene. Bargnani scores prolific amounts and tosses in a three or two (huh?), but can't give you much in terms of rebounds. I'm probably overestimating his block production but not his turnover rate. Projections: .450 fg/.849 ft/1.3 3pt/21.7 pts/5.8 rbd/1.9 ast/0.5 stl/0.9 blk/2.6 tov
17. Nene Hilario – Nene is my favorite Knight Saber, but obviously that wasn't enough to move Hilario up the list. Also, apparently Nene doesn't have a last name anymore. Even Ichiro has a Suzuki. Nene is fairly well balanced, just a little light on rebounds. Not a bad pick in this area. Projections: .580 fg/.711 ft/0.0 3pt/14.2 pts/7.9 rbd/1.9 ast/1.2 stl/1.0 blk/2.0 tov
18. Ersan Ilyasova – My last tier, "Booty Call." It may be the bottom, but there's something attractive about it. If he reaches double-double status and you don't care about blocks, he actually offers quite a bit. I keep wanting to bump him up but I don't want to disrupt my previous tier. Projections: .500 fg/.796 ft/1.0 3pt/14.1 pts/9.2 rbd/1.3 ast/1.2 stl/0.7 blk/1.5 tov
19. Carlos Boozer – It's a little sad to see Boozer this low, but his minutes and production have been declining in recent years. He's only 30. Come on, dude, get it together! Who knew joining the Bulls would hurt his value? Projections: .528 fg/.705 ft/0.0 3pt/16.0 pts/8.9 rbd/2.2 ast/1.0 stl/0.5 blk/2.6 tov
20. David West – He's alright. If he gets his numbers back up, he will produce better than last season's forgettable effort, but he's also 32 and coming off a major injury, so I'm not sure if he fully reaches his 30+ MPG. Projections: .484 fg/.800 ft/0.0 3pt/15.9 pts/7.4 rbd/2.5 ast/0.9 stl/0.8 blk/2.1 tov
After the top twenty, here's a name to consider:
Antawn Jamison – I don't like Jamison like everyone else does. I hope he proves me wrong, but I think we're looking at low FG%, low FT%, and insignificant amounts of rebounds, steals, and blocks. Decent option if you like threes and manageable turnovers. I originally had him in my top 20 but booted him out. Projections: .410 fg/.699 ft/1.1 3pt/16.7 pts/6.1 rbd/1.8 ast/0.8 stl/0.5 blk/1.4 tov

At every Falcons game, you can easily spot the photographers stacked on the sidelines, capturing each play, hit, touchdown, tackle, and dog pile. They're the ones wearing the brown NFL vests and holding thousands of dollars worth of equipment, hoping to be in the best position possible when the Big Play happens. After all, the action is what game day is all about … without that, there would be no fans, no Georgia Dome. But there's also a ton of action surrounding the game … the fans, the excitement, the pyrotechnics, the dancing. And while photographing the action is extremely fun and rewarding, I absolutely love shooting all the peripheral elements. To me, it's what brings color to the game.
Shady Dale Rodeo
I grew up pretty close to Shady Dale, Georgia, but I didn't attend my first Shady Dale Rodeo until I was well into my 20s. It was about 6-7 years ago, when I was working as a photographer for the Griffin Daily News. I was blown away that this had been going on right up the road from me for most of my life and I had yet to attend. I immediately fell in love with rodeos and the people who attend them.

All told, 8-pools and 7 community centers were going to close for the summer, because the City of Houston didn't have the money to keep them open and operating.
Houston Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee went to work to find resources to keep them open. She made a few phone calls to the energy industry, and succeeded. At Independence Heights Park in east Houston, Jackson Lee announced that Marathon Oil and ConocoPhillips stepped forward with a check for 350-thousand dollars. Eileen Campbell is vice president of public policy for Marathon Oil Corporation.
"When the congresswoman came to us, she said 'We have a problem in Houston and this is an emergency. We've got to keep our pools open. We know the mayor's doing the best she can to balance the budget of this city, and we need to have a balanced budget.' This is part of Marathon's values, and we live our values day in and day out, and what our values are is helping neighbors, neighbors helping each other."
The donation from Marathon and ConocoPhillips will keep the pools and community centers open for the summer. I asked Mayor Annise Parker that with her experience in the energy industry, if she could have made the same calls that Jackson Lee did:
"I was making calls, a lot of folks were making calls. I'll give all the credit to the congressmember for bringing home the deal with Marathon and ConocoPhillips. This is excellent on her part, and it's not a matter of who does what or who takes credit, it's the fact that we got the job done."
Independence Heights is located in CM Ed Gonzalez's district. It is the only community that had faced the loss of both its pool and community center. As a former police officer, Gonzalez knows what could happen to kids with idle time.
"It's just a formula for disaster, and we need to make sure we keep them engaged. We want them to be doing physical activities. We have childhood obesity is a growing issue in many communities, so we want to make sure that they're having access to fun and positive type of activities such as swimming, and a busy park and community center is also a safe one."
Now that the pools will remain open, the Houston Parks Department is looking to hire a few more lifeguards. You can find information at www.houstonparks.gov.

A day after elected officials from Texas asked Congress for almost $19 billion in direct aid to help with recovery from Hurricane Harvey, lawmakers from the state of Florida dropped off their own request for $27 billion in relief related to damage from Hurricane Irma, joining Texas in making clear that's just a 'down payment.'
In a letter to key lawmakers in Congress, Florida's Congressional delegation made clear that $27 billion for the Sunshine State "will likely cover only part of the state's overall recovery costs and that additional funding will likely be needed once a more thorough damage assessment is complete."
"Almost a month later, Floridians are still recovering, and much work remains to be done," the letter stated.
The request from Florida is like that from Texas - an effort to get Congress to add more money to a $29 billion disaster aid supplemental spending plan submitted to lawmakers earlier this week by the White House.
The Florida request includes:
+ $10 billion to deal with water projects impacted by Hurricane Irma.
+ $7 billion for Community Development Block Grants to help repair damage from the storm.
+ $5 billion in agricultural aid, both for citrus growers and livestock interests.
The U.S. House is scheduled to vote next week on that extra funding from the Trump Administration, but it isn't clear how much more lawmakers might add, as the requests from Texas and Florida are an extra $46 billion above this White House request - and both states have made clear they need much more than that figure.
A Senate vote on a new round of hurricane disaster relief is not expected until later in the month. The Senate is not in session for legislative work next week. Senators return to Washington on October 16.
Unlike in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, which struck New Jersey in October of 2012, Republicans in Congress have made no effort to push for offsetting budget cuts to pay for disaster aid in the wake of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.
That means all of the money approved for hurricane disaster relief will simply be added to the federal deficit.

Bill Turnbull scoops Best News Presenter at TRIC Awards
- Bang Showbiz
- 9 March 2016
Bill Turnbull was crowned Best News Presenter at this year's TRIC Awards in London last night (08.03.16)
Bill Turnbull scooped Best News Presenter at this year's Television Radio Industries Club (TRIC) Awards in London.
The 'BBC Breakfast' host, who bowed out of the early morning news programme two weeks ago following 15 years on the show, has certainly gone out with a bang as he picked up the impressive accolade at last night's (08.03.16) event for his remarkable presenting skills.
The legendary newsreader, who once swore after stumbling over the word "customer," joked as he picked up his trophy: "I deserve the award for being the first presenter to say the c-word live on breakfast television."
His former co-star Carol Kirkwood also had all eyes on her as she picked up Best Weather Presenter for the fifth year running, while Nick Grimshaw was in his element as he beat Chris Evans to the Best Digital Radio Personality.
But it wasn't all bad news for Chris as 'The Chris Evans Breakfast Show' picked up Best Digital Radio Programme.
Ant and Dec, who didn't attend the event, nabbed Best TV Personality of the Year, while funnyman Keith Lemon's 'Celebrity Juice' won Best Digital Programme.
Meanwhile, 'EastEnders' managed to scoop two awards - Best TV Soap of the Year and Adam Woodyatt, who portrays busybody Ian Beale in the show, won Soap personality - at last night's glamorous ceremony.
The full list of winners at this year's Television Radio Industries Club (TRIC) Awards is as follows;
HD Sports Programme - 'Match Of The Day'

Back in February 2013, it seemed ambitious: opening a comedy-only theater Downtown, with shows booked every Friday and Saturday. But Arcade Comedy Theater's unique mix of improv, sketch and standup, plus comedy classes, caught on quickly. Today, Arcade has ushered some 50,000 spectators and students through its doors, and is adding to its total of 1,000-plus shows at the rate of up to six or seven bookings a week, up to four nights weekly. (There are even Saturday kids' matinees.) All that tested the limits of the 75-seat Liberty Avenue storefront. "We were at capacity as far as programming was concerned," says Michael Rubino, one of the four Arcade co-founders who direct the venue.
Starting this weekend, thanks to its landlord, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, the nonprofit Arcade has a new home right up the street. The Trust renovated a long-vacant storefront into two theaters, plus classroom space and a lounge, more than doubling Arcade's capacity. Grand Opening-weekend shows include, on Nov. 3, a set by in-house improv troupe Player One; a standup showcase; and Friday Night Improv. On Nov. 4, there's a special edition of monthly long-form-improv show Dinner With The Nolens, featuring all four Arcade directors (pictured here) and hosted by Rick Sebak; a Blue Light Special standup showcase; and Arcade Hootenanny, featuring Pittsburgh native Jon Daly (Kroll Show), who also guests on other programs throughout the weekend.
Abby Fudor says she and the other three Arcade directors are paid only stipends for their "labor of love." Popular shows like Bonus Stage and Knights of the Arcade will continue. But look for more classes, a monthly show by musical-improv duo Baby Grand, and, Rubino says, thanks to that 110-seat downstairs theater, a bump in the level of touring standup talent Arcade can attract. In fact, there's already been one famous, if informal guest: Seth Myers, who dropped by to visit his old Chicago improv pals the Nolens.

Stopping for gas is annoying, largely because you're only ever in danger of running out at the most inconvenient moments. You're never driving home with a free evening when you need to stop, you're trying to complete a 30 minute drive to the airport in 22 minutes to make a flight when that little orange light turns on. Also annoying is getting home and having to plug in an electric car.
That's why the 2017 VW e-Golf is set to include wireless charging. Owners will just drive over an induction plat in their garage and the car will start to charge. Sounds bloody perfect to us. Of course, VW doesn't want to jump the gun and include an induction charging method that would later become obsolete, so the company will be watching the market closely to see what the standard will be.

We now offer Magento Virtual Private Server Hosting!
To make our current and future clients as happy as ever, we always look out to improve our services and offerings. This is why we are thrilled to announce a new service that adds up to custom solutions packages available to choose from on our website. As of now, we offer Magento Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting which includes many benefits for Magento webshop owners.
We highlight the following that might just give you an idea why we're recommending VPS to specific clients:
- the VPS is a full virtual operating system that allows you to run what you want and tweak more things than on a regular server; basically you get a lot more control in comparison to shared hosting
- running on VPS reduces risks of being slowed down or impacted in any way by other websites you run along on shared hosting
- VPS allows you to get all the benefits of having your own server while you don't have to deal with any type of server management - we take care of that!
- Virtual Private Servers are the optimal solution when hosting a Magento webshop: a VPS provides stability, speed, good storage and bandwidth features
- the bandwidth features also ensure that even during traffic spikes stability and speed is maintained on an optimal level
- with this solution, security is enhanced and there are encryption options that allow us to protect your sensitive data from theft and hack attacks
- VPS are also a great back up server as well as a testing or monitoring solution for your main website
We understand that you may need additional info or have questions before deciding to switch to a VPS, that is why we invite you to shoot us an email and we will answer you ASAP.
Also, keep in mind that our Magento Virtual Servers and Webshop Hosting solution is included in 3 different packages depending on your requirements in terms of number of CPU, memory, discspace and root access. The packages range from 30 to 50 EUR and include:
Hyper-fast SSD hard-drives, which are about 15 times faster than the regular ones
Backuping – to different location than our datacenter
DELL Dell PowerEdge servers
No bandwidth limits
Also, the servers are hosted in Europe and located in secure DC3 certified datacenters with a global availability of 99,9%.
Contact us to get a free consultation based on your particular needs and requirements; our certified developers will get you the best service out there, you have out word.
Example clients who run servers on our VPS: www.hosling.com, www.palmtek.ee

I think turbotax makes it easy, but their price is getting a little too greedy, so I will go hunt for something cheaper next year. 60 bucks for federal and 40 bucks for state, when you have nothing but a w2 and a standard deduction is just stupid. Stupid me for paying it.

Voted Best Pet Friendly Hotel in Savannah 2018
Bringing your pet to Savannah? You'll want to book your stay at Olde Harbour Inn. We're proud to have been voted Savannah's best pet friendly hotel, so know that you and your four-legged traveling companion will be warmly welcomed!
We do charge a $50 non-refundable fee for your stay.
Book a Pet Friendly Room at Olde Harbour Inn
What can you do with your dog in Savannah?
1. Take a self-guided Walking Tour
You'll get to see the city at your own pace, and your pup will get training and exercise en route. With 22 parks and squares, Savannah's downtown area is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the US. It's a great place to walk your dog!
Take note of the convenient doggie waste receptacles Savannah has installed for you and your dog. Most of the squares have an in-ground waste receptacle, noted by a green metal lid with a white stencil of a dog on it. Just open it by pressing a pedal with your food. You'll even find doggie water fountains positioned at nose level for your dog. There are two in Forsyth Park, one in Troupe Square, and another in Ellis Square.
2. Go on a Pet-Friendly Tour
Most walking tours are pet friendly. We recommend Old Savannah Tours for a trolley tour if your dog prefers to ride. Perhaps the most dog-centric tour you'll find in Savannah is Oliver Bentley's Historic Dog Walk Tour.
3. Enjoy Pet-Friendly Dining
Several restaurants within walking distance don't mind if your well-behaved dog sits quietly beneath your outdoor table. It's not unusual to find water bowls outside many downtown Savannah businesses. Although this information is subject to change, places noted for being Dog Friendly include:
Huey's on River Street
115 E. River Street
Kayak Cafe
1 East Broughton Street
The Collins Quarter
151 Bull Street

Innovative Hotel Concepts
竞博电竞平台 www.buylvepileather.com ?Whether you want to open your own boutique hotel, a small bed and breakfast, or an innovative budget hotel concept, there is one thing they all must have in common to succeed. They must have a remarkable concept. What does this mean?
Remarkable simply means, worth making a remark about. And in the day and age of online guest reviews and social media it's what the success of a hotel completely revolves around.
A stay at your property needs to be such an original and touching experience that your guests will share videos, pictures, comments and reviews on their FaceBook, Google+, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, TripAdvisor, Yelp, etc accounts.
There are so many new hotels opened each year, and most are just mediocre. Greylike ideas that will fade away with the masses.?Your concept needs to be so special that you catch your guests of guard and inspire them. Give them some magic and turn your guests into online brand ambassadors. In essence you could call this guest sourcing marketing and promotion :-).
But behold, it needs to be special to your guests, many of which are experienced travelers which will not be easily impressed. So look beyond your own enthusiasm, be critical of your ideas and set the BAR high.
The most important part of the hospitality industry (yes the name gives it away already) is the hospitality factor, aka service. Service is paramount above style and anything else. You can have the most beautiful hotel with the most amazing features, but without good guest service you will fail guaranteed.
Many hoteliers make the mistake focusing too much on interior design etc and not enough on providing good service to their guests. People expect personalized, friendly and sociable service. Otherwise they would go to the big brand 1000 room hotel.
Next step in your concept, is problem solving. You need to solve a problem that exists in the current market place. Either provide a service other hotels are not providing. Or become more cost efficient than other existing concepts. To get the investment and financing together, it will help if you can demonstrate that your hotel is more than just a dream, but a viable business concept that plays into the shortcomings of the current status quo. So innovate!
We have put together a list of our most original clients when it comes to innovative hotel concepts that are truly remarkable:
Townhouse Hotel Maastricht
Authentic hospitality is the key to success at this friendly hotel. From a warm personal welcome with a cup of home-made soup at check-in, to being offered local cakes to take home at check-out, this hotel looses no opportunity to make their guests feel at home and appreciated.
(for the sharp eye, note the handcuffs hanging from the wall)
With their local launched with an original opening campaign named 'Style, Sex & Soup', they differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack. Moreover they offer 4 star service at a 3 star price. The 4th star is on the house …
Secret de Paris
As no other have they coined the concept of selling the destination. They share a local experience.?Non-public knowledge that is truly part of the real secrets of city of lights is incorporated in the concept. 7 incomparable room categories, that take you inside 6 different monuments of Paris (Mussée d'Orsay, Moulin Rouge, Tour Eiffel, Opéra Garnier, Trocadero, Atelier d'Arstists).
You can even change rooms several times during your stay. The room you will stay in for the first night will be revealed only upon your arrival. And each night after they propose a different room concept.
Qbic Hotels
Not trying to think outside of the box, but moving into existing boxes. They are in essence recycling empty office blocks.?The Qbic team really understands the art of problem solving. Moving into underutilized real estate with a modular plug and play concept reduced sharply the construction time and cost.
This low cost design hotel concept is based on the philosophy that the best service is self service. Qbic offers an affordable, quality and stylish place to sleep with a local feel to the budget conscious traveler.
After their pilot property in Amsterdam, they are now preparing to open in London in the fall of 2013.
The Student Hotel
The Student Hotel provides fully furnished and fully serviced rooms and suites for students, urban travelers, academics, friends and family.
International and local students enjoy all-inclusive and hassle-free accommodation with lots of extra benefits. With library, lounges and study rooms, gym, café and restaurant, your own bike, WiFi and cable TV. What more could you possibly want?
Even better, you decide how long you want to stay - one night or two weeks, up to two semesters, - it's all up to you. ?The Student Hotel is a comfortable, safe and fun place for you to sleep, eat, drink and make friends for life. ?The Student is all about community, convenience and comfort.
So ask yourself this question is your idea innovative, original and remarkable. I mean really worth making a remark about, because it is inspiriring and the passion of the hotel concept is just floating in the air creating an electrifying ambience that rubs of on the guest?

Today was our spring lock-in for the youth group. But this years lock-in was special and different. We did it combined with the children's ministry, this was the first time in church history we have ever done this.
Being the new children's pastor I was a little worried how everything would play out. I was worried about so many unnecessary things which stressed me out most of the day. There was a lot of miscommunication with the parents (since I have to deliver all information in Korean, at times things get lost in translation). This was my first challenge since taking this position, and like many would say, the first battle is always the hardest. I started to feel defeated and that I didn't prepare enough, which caused anxiety and doubt.
But as I was trying to calm my heart before going to church God kept reminding me of the same thing over and over again. "There's nothing to worry about". Once the lock-in started it was obvious He was right, there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
Everything went a million times better than expected. All the kids had a great time with the youth group and I was able to witness breakthrough. I saw the children stepping out of their comfort zone and really drawing closer to God. God truly blew me away and reminded me how worthless worrying is.
I saw God today.
Did you?

Desert flower
In Las Vegas, dreams can come true as swiftly as the winds that blow in from the desert. But the city also has its share of people who have found true happiness in the capital of glitz. Meet some of them, who told us how.
Las Vegas is part volcanic eruption, part Roland Emmerich film and partly like the fall of Rome – but with a soundtrack. It's an overblown orgy of neon lights, showgirls, stretch limousines and the eternal ding-ding-ding of one-armed bandits – an intoxicating mix most visitors indulge in for just two or three days before returning home to recover. But what's it like to actually live in a city that celebrates its exceptional state of crazy every day anew? And why would anyone want to spend their life in an unrealistic setting like that of "Sin City," as the place is also known? We met a few people for whom it's quite normal to work in an Eiffel Tower replica in the middle of the desert or to slip into an Elvis costume every morning to marry couples in a kitsch-themed chapel.
Brendan Paul, 45
"How did I become a priest in an Elvis chapel? When I was 22 and playing with my punk band in Vegas, I entered an Elvis contest for the heck of it. It was so much fun I decided to get a job impersonating The King – plus, the money's really good. Then, 15 years ago, I bought the Graceland Wedding Chapel for a million dollars. It was built in 1947 and it's one of the oldest and most famous wedding chapels in Las Vegas. All I had to do to obtain my license to officiate at weddings was take a couple of classes. Although we marry around 4000 couples every year here, for me, weddings are still a very moving affair because the way I see it, it's the most important day in a couple's relationship. We do draw the line at some things, though; it's fine to be tipsy when you tie the knot, but not drunk. Also, we regularly receive requests to host nudist weddings, but we don't do them, either. Otherwise, it makes no difference whether a couple books the 199-dollar wedding that includes two Elvis songs or the 799-dollar package featuring a young Elvis from the 1950s and an older Elvis in Seventies-style flares. We always put everything we've got into the ceremony. I was really touched by one couple who booked us to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. On the appointed the day, the woman turned up on her own with a framed photo of her husband. He had recently passed away but she wanted to go ahead with the ceremony anyway. I was all choked up at first and my voice almost failed me. I will always love Elvis's songs, even if I've sung them thousands of times. They're simply classics. Sometimes I'll be singing 'Love Me Tender' and thinking about whether I have everything I need in my fridge at home, but I keep on smiling and no one notices a thing. That's show business, baby!"
Vearn Rogers, 58
"I work in the center of Paris, in the middle of America, on the observation platform of the Eiffel Tower. It's 164.6 meters tall – about half the height of the original. I used to be just an elevator operator here at the Paris Las Vegas hotel. Then one day, a guest asked me: 'Is that all you do? Press a button and stand in an elevator?' That got to me – particularly because he was right. So I sat myself down and learned everything there is to learn about Las Vegas. And now I've been sharing my knowledge with the visitors in the elevator and on the platform. You want facts and figures? Here we go! Las Vegas was founded in 1905. The name is Spanish and means floodplains because there are springs here. Around 40 million visitors come to the city every year, and each of them visits eight casinos on the average, with 74 percent trying their hand at gambling. Each gambler spends an average of 530 dollars. There are 104 casinos in Las Vegas, over 147 000 hotel rooms and roughly 21 000 fairs and conventions each year. By the way, the casino strip isn't actually in Las Vegas itself, but in a suburb called Paradise. When it comes to the Strip, though, everyone talks about Las Vegas. From the 1940s through the 1980s, the city was firmly in the hand of the Mob, as organized crime was referred to here. Why do I like Las Vegas? I'm from Compton, a suburb of Los Angeles, where gang crime is rife. When I first came to Las Vegas in 1984, I could get an all-you-can-eat breakfast for 49 cents, and walking through the streets, I noticed that practically everyone was smiling. They looked like they were having a good time and felt good. That hasn't changed – and that's why I live here."
Mallory Dawn, 34
"When I was a kid growing up in Ohio, I would dream of sitting at an easel in a park in Paris, describing life with my paintbrush, but things worked out very differently. I started out working as a waitress and in a boutique and then went on to study fashion in New York. While on a trip to Vegas for a friend's bachelorette party, I was simply bowled over by the city and decided to move here. Why? Because I don't feel so restricted, probably because Las Vegas is located in the middle of the desert. It feels a little like I'm standing in front of an empty canvas. These days, I've made something of a name for myself as an artist here. My airbrush and graffiti artworks can be seen all over the place – on the walls of clubs and casinos, in private villas and in restaurants and museums. There's an installation of mine at the Cosmopolitan Hotel. I made it using several thousand plastic key cards, which I sewed together, one by one, with copper wire. When I'm not out and about, I'm happiest painting in my underwear. That way, I don't have to keep buying new clothes because my other ones are covered in splashes of paint. Also, it's unbearably hot in the the city during the day. That's why I prefer to work at night – which is when you can often see me up a ladder somewhere with my breathing mask on and a spray can in my hand, painting a house wall. Afterwards, back at my apartment on the 18th floor of a skyscraper in downtown Vegas, I sit on my balcony and let my gaze roam the skyline. That's when I know that I made the right decision.
I don't need a park in Paris anymore."
Brittany Brooks, 32
"People tend to reduce Las Vegas to the following cliché: casinos, shows, parties and wild nightlife. We rangers represent the other side of the spectrum: experiencing nature, silently observing, feeling small in the face of the wonders that surround us. After a few days, most tourists tire of the city's craziness and long to get out into nature. Luckily, Vegas is surrounded by desert, mountains and national parks. It's just a 20-minute drive from downtown to the next hiking trail. I work at the Red Rock Canyon Park, which starts at the city limits. Set out early enough and you won't see more than a handful of people, but you will see coyotes, tortoises and wild donkeys. Why do I work as a ranger in Las Vegas of all places? Two years ago, Gregory, my husband, was offered a job in the area. He's a biologist, and his specialty is a particular species of beetle that lives in the sand dunes near here. I had never been to Nevada and thought it was one of those places where everyone wants to stay indoors with the air conditioning on when the temperature hits 40° Celsius outside. Now I see it's quite different. There are mountain bikers, skiers, climbers and mountain runners here. To be honest:
I never want to leave."
Five reasons to board a plane for the desert
How about dinner in tycoon David Rockefeller's library? Star chef Daniel Humm's restaurant at the new NoMad Hotel looks so opulent and plushy that it's easy to foget you are in garish, glittering Vegas.
Comprising more than 18 blocks of bars and art galleries, the Arts District near Fremont Street is a real alternative to the strip. In the ReBar and the Arts Factory, you meet more locals than tourists.
The Park MGM has secured Lady Gaga for a two-show residency this fall: In "Enigma," she meets a 3D-animated android, while "Jazz and Piano" sees her at the piano in classic mode and evening gown.
The Palms Resort has just spent 690 million dollars on the costliest refurbishment in the history of Las Vegas. A statue of Damien Hirst now presides at the pool, while works by Andy Warhol grace the walls in the bar.
Just won at the roulette table? Then it's time to head to the Art Déco Rosina bar to press the Champagne call button. Your waiter will appear immediately to fill your glass – with a gimlet or a negroni, if you prefer.

Derevo - Harlekin
- Brian Donaldson
- 9 August 2010
This article is from 2010
Sinister, beautiful show from Fringe favourites
You never quite know where you are with Derevo. The 80 minutes of Harlekin somehow fly by, aided in part by the trio's willingness to hop around theatrical styles from dance to commedia dell'arte, from mime to psychological terror. It's apt that such genre-bending should occur, given the harlequin's history of being an acrobat, an assassin and someone who gets food thrown in their face. At the curtain call, the official moment for which appears uncertain for both the audience and, seemingly, performers alike, leader Anton Adasinsky is the picture of calm, his fingers sliding across a lute before casually waving to his crowd.
Contrast this with the whirling dervish who has jerked, gyrated and flopped across and onto the stage over the past hour and 20, accompanied by the beguiling Elena Iarovaia – whose roles include an organ-grinder's monkey and the woman who, quite literally, takes her lover's heart – and Tanya Khabarova, the stumbling host and puppeteer whose first act is to peek through the curtain at an imaginary audience on the other side of the stage and away from us.
It's a neat, discombobulating touch which is bolstered by delightful details such as Adasinsky doubling for a shower, CD player and bath towel. But this being Derevo, there are moments which might revisit you in a tense nightmare, the sight of Adasinsky seemingly poisoned over and over again or attached to a wide bar/crucifix which swings over the front row's heads. And you find you are keen to remove your eyes from the occasionally manic smile of the bald Iarovaia; in your darker thoughts, the pair might bring to mind Crispin Glover and Anne Heche during her alien abduction period.
The sinister and the beautiful have been Derevo's trademarks ever since their Edinburgh debut in 1997 with Red Zone, and Harlekin provides another memorable chapter in their captivating story.
Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, until 30 Aug (not 16, 23), 1pm, £12–£14.

Make a hat new again with spray paint and embellishments
Tutorial at From My Carolina Home Blog
"I like to wear hats, especially in the spring and summer. I usually have one on when hiking, and doing car shows to keep the sun out of my eyes. I really adore the hats on Downton Abby, and I wish that hats would make a comeback for daily wear. I have about a half dozen that I regularly wear, and one of them was just getting really sad. Replacing a hat isn't easy these days as they are not inexpensive anymore, and finding that perfect shape and size isn't easy either. This one started out as a straw color a few years ago with some kind of embellishment that I cannot even remember".... Read more

What exactly is an anti haul?
The concept of an 'anti haul' was created by the very funny and talented Kimberly Clark for her YouTube channel in a response to the rising amount of consumerist content that was flooding the beauty community and YouTube.
The idea of an anti haul is very simply the opposite to a haul; a haul would talk about what the person has already bought and why/first impressions, however, an anti haul is where you talk about the products you are NOT going to purchase and why. Kimberly usually sings 'What I'm not going to buy' in a very theatrical manner, which I love, she then talks about popular 'hyped' products and why she is not going to spend her money on them.
I discovered anti hauls a few months back and it was a revelation, someone was finally saying the same thing that I was; we don't need a lot of these aggressively marketed and hyped products. Sometimes we are paying for the 'name' and the packaging and sometimes we are even fleeced by companies selling low quality products for a higher mark up or the false promises of products being 'limited edition'.
So, without further ado, I am going to talk about what I am not going to buy; this is purely just my opinion and what does not work for me might work for everyone else, I am purely just giving reasons why I am not going to spend my money on the following things.
Pro Morphe X Jaclyn Hill palette
I used to watch Jaclyn Hill about a year ago along with quite a few big YouTubers, I switched off because I soon realised that she did very similar looks for most of the videos she did and was always talking about the same products in every video. I actually purchased quite a few of my Makeup Geek individual eyeshadows based on her recommendation, I do not regret this as they are good, but I could have found cheaper, drugstore alternatives if I had just shopped around.
Back to the Pro Morphe X Jaclyn Hill palette and the reasons why I will not be lining Ms Hill's and Morphe pockets by purchasing this. The main reason is we have seen most of these colours before; it is very typical of Jaclyn to do warm neutral tones, we probably own most of these colours already in our makeup collections, why add more? I have too many warm neutral palettes that I do not use to justify buying another.
You might now be thinking 'but what about the lovely green shades, isn't it your favourite colour?' Yes, green is my favourite colour and the greens in the palette look nice, but nothing really special, I probably already have them in my other palettes (I have some sleek palettes with some lovely greens/blues in). I am not going to pay a premium to just use 20% of the palette, it is a false economy when you can just gradually buy the Makeup Geek ones which are actually better quality than Morphe.
Jeffree Star Summer 2017 Chrome collection
As you probably remember from a previous post (Have we had too much Jeffree Star?) I said I would be giving his summer 2017 collection a huge miss on account that the shades have all very similar to all the other stuff he has. There was one shade, you better work, that I was tempted to buy but as I am obsessed with purple lipsticks I already have shades that are practically the same as this or at least a very close dupe.
Being friends with a lot of makeup addicts (sorry, enthusiasts) you tend to hear if there are any problem with products that are released; the main thing that has put me off 'You better work' is the fact that one of my dear friends has had a bad reaction to the lipstick and also has reported it is patchy. This friend is a self confessed J Star junkie and has the majority of his collection without having any problems before, maybe this is just isolated to that colour or even just an odd batch, however I do not want to spend 16 finding that out when I don't actually need it.
As for the skin frosts; there are reports that they smash easily due to the formula and the size of the pan, plus I have so many highlighters I could keep the tin man shiny for ten years so that is also a pass from me.
Any fake tanning products
Back in the day, when I was 18 and in my prime, I would spend every Thursday night covered in fake tan, preparing for Friday night clubbing with my friends. Being very pale and attempting to wear a short dress with my un-tannable, milk bottle legs would have been laughed at.
Back then, I never really understood the appeal of having a tan but I did it because that is was what everyone else was doing, sad but true. I used to hate doing it, hate the horrid stains on my hands, the missed patches where you did not put enough product on and most of all I never liked the orange tone it used to give me.
Forward 18 years and I can safely say I am happy being a milk bottle shade of ghostly white, why, because it is part of me. I am never going to be able to get a tan naturally, nor would I want to risk the diseases associated with tanning. So I do not need to waste hours slapping on the fake tan, because I am just as beautiful pale as I would be with a tan; after all having 'skin as white as snow' did not do Snow White much harm, she started a cleaning business for dwarves and met her handsome prince after having the best nap ever.
Morphe 25A and 25B
Another Morphe product, are you picking on poor Morphe Mrs T? I have not got a vendetta against Morphe, nor will I not purchase from them in the future because they might release something I really like.
However I was someone that fell for the Morphe 'hype' and bought quite a few of their palettes and have become a bit disappointed with them. My 35C is my all time favourite and the colours are fantastic but the 25A and B palettes are a classic demonstration of Morphe releasing palettes that are already incredibly similar to previous ones and just changing the name.
Again we see warm toned browns/oranges with some coppery, shimmery shades; very similar to the 35OS, 35F and the 35T. I have all three of the 35 palettes and I don't use any of them very regularly; I have tried many a time but I always feel I need a pop of colour rather than a plain neutral eye.
The fact that Morphe are a private label company also puts me off; the palettes are made at the Crown Brush factory and the Morphe name is just put on, so I could get the same palettes cheaper just without the Morphe name. If I was wanting these I would have a look around as I can guarantee you can buy them without the hefty Morphe markeup.
Too Faced 'Natural Love' palette
Apart from the Chocolate bar palettes (which you can get dupes of from Makeup revolution), Too faced makeup has never really appealed to me. They seem to have a habit of doing 'plain, boring, neutral palletes with one or two pops of colour thrown in'; this palette does not actually have any pops of colour in there, just neutrals. This might be great for someone new to makeup and just wanting stuff for a simple, everyday look but you can actually get similar stuff from Tarte cosmetics and this looks also identical in style to their palettes.
This is quite ironic considering the founder of Too faced actually accused Tarte of copying their 'unicorn makeup' (Throwing Shade on Shady Business) on Twitter once. Maybe this palette this Too Faced's way of getting their own back, who knows? Too Faced as a brand seem to leave a strange taste in my mouth after all their arguments with Jeffree Star, I shall be resisting Too Faced unless they come up with a Marvel comics themed makeup line and if they do I will be at the front of the queue.
So that is my first ever anti haul; as I said earlier, these are just my personal opinions and I am all about freedom of choice so if it works for you then go right ahead, splash that cash. Doing this has actually made me focus on what I do actually want.
I am thinking of getting some Sugarpill single eyeshadows and the Gerard Cosmetics 'Slay All Day' setting spray but I need further persuasion. Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of these products and also what you are anti hauling at the moment.
