The Oculus Rift VR headset is being integrated into Chuck E. Cheese family entertainment centers this month.
The Rift will be used for a game called Chuck E. Cheese's Virtual Ticket Blaster Experience where kids grab as many tickets as they can in 360 degrees. Tickets can be exchanged for prizes.
Roger Cardinale, president of parent company CEC Entertainment, says: "Kids today have unprecedented access to game consoles and tablets. Our challenge is to deliver an experience not available at home, and there is no doubt virtual reality does just that. Oculus Rift technology is the next frontier in the gaming industry, and we're thrilled to be able to say it's part of the Chuck E. Cheese's lineup."
Oculus Rift will be tested in the Dallas, San Diego, and Orlando markets this month.

While your wedding may be the happiest and most wonderous day of your life, it can also be very stressful. The complicated agenda can seem like too much: ordering flowers and invitations, making reservations, hiring a photographer, a caterer and so on. This article is filled with tips and advice to help ensure that your wedding experience is beautiful and stress-free.
Religion is most likely going to be a significant factor in not only your wedding, but your future marriage. It is important to talk openly about religion not only with your future spouse but also with both families.
If you're catering your own event, try purchasing the food from wholesale stores. When shopping wholesale, you can get large amounts of food for cheaper than you could if you did not wholesale shop. Think about asking friends to contribute to the food bill.
In your wedding plans, make sure you consider what types of alcohol you wish to serve, and which ones are most cost effective. For example, an open bar can cost you an arm and a leg, especially if it's open throughout your reception. Ask the venue about their various alcohol service options.
The wedding dress may be a major expense. When you are browsing through dress shops, remember to look a dresses that are not officially categorized as wedding dresses. You might even consider whether a dress designed for bridesmaids could meet your needs. Even if you factor in the cost of style alterations, the overall cost could be less.
Incorporate small decorative elements into all your wedding decorations. Take the ribbon you use in a bouquet for instance, and use the same ribbon for table centerpieces, your hair or your gown. These tiny details will give guests an idea of how hard you have worked to create a dream wedding.
One way you can cut hundreds of dollars from your wedding budget is by purchasing your wedding gown online. However, make sure you do this early enough that there is time to make any needed alteration to the gown. In fact I spent $300 in total, $100 for the gown itself, and only another $200 for the tailoring. Be sure to add the additional cost of alterations in your budget.
When you invite your family to your destination wedding, see if they'd like to stick around for the honeymoon, too! It's a great way to get a group discount and they can share in the special memories you are going to make at your chosen destination. Then you can have a memorable wedding and your guests will enjoy a mini vacation.
Once you know who all is going to give a speech at your wedding, hold a rehearsal for everyone so you can censor out inappropriate material. At a wedding, there is normally a collection of different generations present, and you need to remember that a joke that young people find funny may actually offend older guests.
Even if you have your dress picked out and purchased, it is smart to keep it at the bridal shop until your wedding day. Having it inside of a closet could cause stains or wrinkles. It can be safely kept at the store until you need it and can be freshly steamed when you pick it up.
Future Spouse
Look on Craigslist for talent to make your wedding special. Before you hand over any money, both bride and groom should meet with them ahead of time, in person.
To make your wedding more personal, include a theme that encompasses you, your future spouse, and the things that are most important to your relationship. Select a wedding theme that really symbolizes the times that you and your future spouse have spent together.
If both bride and groom have a love for travelling, then incorporate a wedding theme that includes this passion. You could fashion your invitations to resemble boarding passes or vintage postcards. A classic leather suitcase may be kept open to show family photos, wedding programs or favors.
If a wedding cake with a high price tag or high calorie count doesn't appeal to you, check around at local bakeries for beautiful individual portions. Some specialty bakeries also ship fresh, low-cal cupcakes and healthy fare, like gluten-free options if you so desire.
Individual centerpieces at each table can quickly add up to a big expense, unless you keep them simple. Don't crowd the entire table with one centerpiece; instead, find a more simple option. This will enable your guests to talk amongst each other without any interference, which will provide a better experience for them.
Tell your DJ the songs that you do not want to be played. Find a song that you enjoyed in the past. Regardless of the reason, let your DJ know to prevent you cringing at your reception.
Plan out every detail and facet of your wedding, ranging from reception events to the dishes served. Those that have elected to join you on this important day in your life deserve to enjoy themselves.
For any stylish and fashion forward bride, there is always the option to add some flare to a bouquet with a splash of diamonds, rhinestones or Swarovski crystals. This can be achieved through heat-fixed crystals, adding a little piece of jewelry or even using an heirloom piece. To ensure that it coordinates with the rest of your ensemble, be consistent in terms of sparkling colors, cut, and size of the stones.
If you are not serving dinner during your reception, try getting casual seating instead of renting tables. Things like cushy sectional couches, chaises and lounges can provide a great way for your guests to interact. Plush seating is also conductive to a relaxing time, and is comfortable for those with mobility issues. You can also use your furniture to customize your space.
Perhaps enlist the help of a friend to help you to carry all your camera gear around. They can help you with other stuff, like gathering the family for group shots, also.
As you begin to plan your wedding, make a prioritized list of your wants. For some couples, the venue is higher on the list than the cake, or the table decorations are higher on the list than the music, and so on. By determining your priorities and budget by what items are most important to you, you can then allocate the required amount of funds to them, and make certain your day is just what you dreamed of.
Make sure your wedding reception lighting can be dimmed at the venue. It may sound insignificant, but you are probably going to want to dim the lights for the first dance and turn them back up for the remainder of the reception. Talk to the venue owner about the light settings. Don't rent a venue that doesn't have the settings you want.
Add flowers of all different heights. If you want long stem flowers, then choose tall, elegant vases to show them off properly. You can surround these tall vases with short voluminous flowers like pink sweet peas, peonies, or hydrangeas. The shorter flowers should have more prominent blooms and be more lightly colored.
A colorful and unique cake can be placed on a tablecloth of complimentary fabric to turn it into a work of art that becomes a focal point. There are many different styles and options, such as various types of fabrics and textures. It is up to you how to put it all together.
In order to prepare in dancing when it comes to your first dance, practice dancing a couple days before the wedding using a long skirt. Though you may have warmed up to your ability to move about in your skirt, it may be a bit cumbersome for your groom, so put on some music and dance together. This can help you adjust to the feeling of wearing a long and puffy dress.
The menu is an excellent place to reflect cultural diversity. You might even want to consider expanding your culinary options with wedding favors that are ethnically identifiable.
Always take into consideration whether or not you want children invited to your wedding. This is relevant because you can save money as well as your sanity if there are no children attending. But, some people may not be able to come to your wedding because they do not have a babysitter.
If you are planning a wedding outside, always make sure that you have a 'plan b' in case mother nature does not cooperate. Look into renting a couple of tents, or find a location that has a community hall in addition to an outdoor space. If the ground is wet you can bring planks of wood to help keep your guests' shoes clean.
If the bride is to have a memorable wedding day, then all the details need to be held to her exacting standards. If she has to stress about planning, and deal with a under par wedding, it will absolutely ruin her. You want to just run everything by her as well as make sure there is nothing that you are missing to ensure her happiness.
Make sure you know what you are doing when it comes to a destination wedding. Things such as residency requirements, blood tests and fees should be addressed before you book your venue.
Grooms should be just as meticulous about getting your tuxedo fitted as the bride is with her gown. Ask others for an opinion before choosing a tuxedo. Keep in mind you and your bride will be the main focus at the wedding, so the appearance you present should be the best one possible.
Pick a photographer for your wedding who will create memories, not simply take pictures. Ask a photographer for thoughts on your big day when interviewing them. Find out how they intend to move through the wedding, capturing the moments that are special to you. It is imperative that you understand their personal style and how it works with your plans for the day.
It's always a nice touch if you can write your wedding vows yourself. Although it is easier to borrow a copy from another source, writing your own vows is special. Crafting your vows yourself gives them more meaning. Use some inspiration from elsewhere, but write them from the heart.
Think about whether you want to have children at your wedding. If you want to save a little money and stress, you can avoid inviting children. If you are not going to allow children at your wedding, be prepared for certain guests to not be able to make attendance.
As you consider a videographer for the event, always interview each candidate and request samples of their previous work. Be sure you are aware of how good the sound quality and editing will be that the videographer is able to do. You should get a DVD of your wedding or you could get a digital video. Look for a videographer who meets all technical requirements. Beyond that, listen to your heart.
Make sure to interview a handful of videographers and review their work before hiring one. It is important to verify the editing and sound quality that you can expect from your videographer. The days of VHS tapes and grainy film are long gone, and you can now choose from digital or DVD formats. Look for a videographer who meets all technical requirements. Beyond that, listen to your heart.
You may be tempted to go with family tradition or suggestions, but this is your day not theirs. Be generous in your thanks for their assistance and concern, and let them know that you will keep their thoughts in mind when making your own decisions. That way, you could look back at the day of your wedding without any regrets.
Consider a small meal instead of a large feast at the wedding reception. In order to accommodate more guests, you will need to reduce costs somewhere. Serving a small meal with only close friends, family members and relations in attendance will save you some money. If you can't do that, you can reduce your guest list.
Be aware of the weather. For example, don't hold an outdoor wedding during a heat wave–people might not stay too long, if they are uncomfortable. Similarly, they might leave early, if it's too cold. Always keep the comfort of the guests in mind, even though the wedding day is for the groom and bride.
A wedding day is a highly anticipated event that many people dream of from a very young age. Planning the wedding of your dreams can be frustrating and overwhelming if you don't know how to do it. This article can, hopefully, relieve some of the stress you may have been feeling and aid you in planning your wedding.
Your mother, and any bridesmaids that are going to aid in helping you get ready, should be dressed and ready to go by the time they are needed to help you with your wedding gown and accessories. Right before the ceremony, all attention should be focused on you, the bride. If your attendants are not ready, then they will be unable to help you.

So it is about that time for me to reveal my thoughts, but most importantly my results of using Mielle Organics hair vitamins for the past 30 days. At the beginning of the month I shared my thoughts/opinions overall on hair vitamins and why I was so fearful going into this journey again. I am happy to report that my fears have been diminished as I thankfully do not have a horror story this time around.
Before I discuss the results I want to give a bit of background info to give a fair and honest opinion. My hair tends to grow about 1/2 inch to an inch (if it is a really really good month) a month. Obviously I don't retain 6-12 inches of hair a year because of minor set backs, damage, or necessary trims.
The photo above was my hair growth during my transition period, to my big chop. My hair grew rapidly during those times. Now that it is mostly back to a 1/2 inch for the most part I was thoroughly interested to see if Mielle Organics hair vitamins were worth the hype. I'm happy to report… YES they were! And here's why:
April 1st May 1st
The sides and back of my hair seemed to flourish the most while taking the 30 day supply of Mielle Organics Hair Vitamins (which will run you about 20 bucks). I didn't measure in inches but if I had to guess I'd say I got about an inch maybe a little less.
With the top and front of my hair I didn't notice a big change in length at all, but I did have to dust my ends (they were looking super raggedy so they had to go) which means I was able to pretty much grow it back to the same length it was at the beginning of the month.
FINAL THOUGHTS: For about 20 bucks a bottle you get a full 30 day (2 pills a day) supply of Mielle Organics Hair Vitamins (you can use code: TRESSES at checkout for a discount). These pills did increase my hair growth and I could tell because I was shaving alot more often, and my eyebrows grew in full force. Thats the thing with hair vitamins yo can't control where exactly the hair will grow the most, you just hope and pray it is the hair on your head.
I have issues with the nape/back area of my hair as well as my edges. They are just normally thin and always have been which is why I never braid/twist them when protective styling to prevent damage. What I noticed with these pills is a definite quick regrowth/thickening of these areas in particular. My favorite part about taking these pills was the dramatic decrease in shedding!! This is a sure fire way to help increase length retention. I do recommend these hair vitamins because they didn't cause any type of break outs for me, and did what they claimed they would do. They are a bit big so if you have difficulty swallowing pills I suggest crushing them up and putting them in a smoothie.
As always you want to eat clean/healthy for the most part to help boost the supplement so that it can do its job properly. You also want to drink loads of water (I drink at least 3oz a day) as always when taking large amounts of Biotin. Most importantly dont take these pills on an empty stomach you'll feel weird… I took mine in the morning right before breakfast. I am considering taking these pills for a bit longer to see if the results continue for the upcoming months, and I will certainly keep you posted.

All over the world, we hear the story of bears. The polar bear may die out due to climate change. The grizzly bear lives only in tiny pockets of its former range in the Lower 48. The spectacled bear is not long for this world, and the giant panda is an avatar of the movement to save endangered species.
American black bears are not among the endangered or threatened, though. They are doing well in such densely populated states as New Jersey.
They are also doing quite well in the wild and wonderful land of West Virginia. When I was a boy, my grandpa loathed bears. If anyone mentioned a bear popping up near his land, he would always go "There isn't room enough for me and bear in these woods."
I don't know where this bear hatred came from, but his ancestors were small farmers who may have lost hogs or sheep to the odd roving bear.
I remember one year that something knocked over his 200-pound deer feeder. It obviously had to have been a black bear. At that time of year, a bear would have been in hyperphagic mode, and the taste of cracked corn in the deer feeder would have been a pleasant repast on a balmy October day.
He never caught the bear in question, but I knew that he really wanted to. He wanted to shoot it for daring to be in this civilized world.
The reason that bear never got killed is because its kind learned long ago to live with us.
And the best way to do that is to avoid our kind at all costs.
By the time I was born, there were only about 500 bears in the state of West Virginia, and now there are about 10,000. Those 10,000 descend from those 500 survivors, who taught their cubs how to thrive in a land where the guns are loaded.
If you see a bear in West Virginia, well over 9 times out 10, all you'll see is a black form charging into the timber to get as far from you as possible.
The bear that thrives is the bear that knows that the best thing to do when encountering one of us is to run away.
I know that other black bear populations where they sometimes hunt people or, at the very least, tear up garbage.
But not here, they survive only because they are afraid. Fear makes them good neighbors.
And that is the only way a bear can thrive.

Background: Supporting positive mental health development in adolescents is an important school health concern, but there is a need to investigate the suitability of the interventions used.
Aim: The aim is to investigate the experiences of school health professionals in conducting a universal school-based programme aimed at preventing depressive symptoms in adolescents.
Methods: Twenty-two school health professionals participated in four focus groups. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis.
Findings: The overall theme identified in the study consists of 'striking a balance between strictly following the manual and meeting the students' needs'. Three subthemes emerged: 'doing good and sowing seeds for the future', working with insufficient tools, and 'personal development as a professional and as an individual'.
Conclusions: School health professionals conducting the programme found it valuable in a school setting, but considered support from the school administration essential.
Background: DISA (Depressive Symptoms In Swedish Adolescents) is a cognitive behavioral intervention aimed at preventing stress and depressive symptoms in adolescents. It is frequently used in Swedish schools for students aged 13-15 years. DISA is commonly offered to females, but at some schools, the intervention is also offered to males. In this study, the application of the intervention for both females and males is evaluated.
Aim: The overarching aim of this thesis was to explore the experience, significance, and effectiveness of the school-based intervention DISA. The specific aims were to investigate the effectiveness of depressive symptoms and self-reporting health, and costs and cost-effectiveness as well as to elucidate the experiences of adolescents and tutors.
Methods: The effectiveness of DISA was investigated using method triangulation. The thesis is based on two quantitative and two qualitative studies. The quantitative studies were quasi-experimental trials with an intervention group (I, IV), and a control group (IV), with follow-up measurements obtained at 3 and 12 months after baseline. The qualitative studies were based on focus group interviews with adolescents (II) and tutors (III). The school-based cognitive behavioral prevention program DISA was presented by school health staff and teachers once per week for ten weeks. Students in grade 8 (median age: 14) participated in the intervention in study I (n=62, 52% females) and study IV (n=462, 79% females), and 486 students (46% females) were allocated to the control group (IV). Focus group interviews were conducted with 89 adolescents (II) and 22 tutors (III). The interviews were analyzed with qualitative content analysis.
Findings: The intervention group decreased their self-reported depressive symptoms and improved their self-rated health more than the control group (p<0.05) at the 12-month follow-up. The majority of the adolescents rated the cognitive behavioral program as a positive experience, and the attendance rate was high. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was approximately USD 6,300 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY). The focus group interviews with the adolescents revealed that the students found that they developed intrapersonal strategies through DISA, such as directed thinking, improved self-confidence, stress management, and positive activities. They also gained an increased interpersonal awareness regarding trusting the group and considering others. However, structural constraints of the DISA program, such as negative framing and an emphasis on performance, were also noted. The focus group interviews with the tutors identified an overall theme of striking a balance between strictly following the manual and meeting student needs.
Conclusions: The DISA program appears to be a feasible, cost-effective school-based cognitive behavioral program with high levels of student adherence and satisfaction, as well as positive mental health benefits. However, a desire for a more health-promoting approach was expressed.

The trama informed church. Now that's a conversation we should have.
Yesterday I attended an event that crystallized some thoughts I have been having. It was a symposium hosted by Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute as a part of their social determinants of health initiative. The focus of the symposium was healing from community trauma. The thesis of the entire event was that we need to develop trauma-informed systems to combat environments in which both children and adults experience traumatic experiences on a regular basis. Unless we have schools, courts, hospitals, churches, and governments that are sensitive to the needs of those who regularly exposed to jarring experiences, it was continuously argued, we will not only be ineffective in dealing the issues in urban communities, we also run the risk of re-traumatizing those we had hoped to serve.
I have been acutely aware of the ways that my own experience of childhood trauma are impacting my health as an adult. Many…

> What is Directly Connected Impervious Cover?
Directly Connected Impervious Cover, abbreviated DCIC, is synonymous with Directly Connected Impervious Area (DCIA).
Paraphrased from the US Environmental Protection Agency, DCIA is: the portion of impervious area with a direct hydraulic connection to the discharge point in question or a waterbody via: continuous paved surfaces; gutters; drain pipes; or other conventional conveyance and detention structures that do not reduce runoff volume. (Source: http://goo.gl/o8Fvns)
The connectivity of impervious cover plays a major role in impervious flow.
> Is this parameter a % of total land cover, or a % of % impervious cover?
This parameter is a % of a %. The value you input indicates how much of the impervious cover has the special property of being 'directly connected' to stream flow.
For example: your land covers total to 100%. Impervious cover is 40% of the total land cover. If you set DCIA to 80%, it means that 80% of the 40% impervious cover found in the entire project is directly connected to stream flow. In other words, 32% of the total land cover is directly connected impervious area (based on 0.4*0.8=0.32).
> Can DCIA be greater than Impervious Cover (IC)?
DCIA as a percentage can be greater than the percent amount of IC. In reality DCIA is a fraction of IC, meaning the absolute amount of DCIA will always be less than or equal to the absolute amount of IC.
The example given in the question above demonstrates DCIA set as a greater % value than % IC, simply meaning that the fraction of IC that is DCIA is greater than the amount of project area that is IC.
> Can you suggest a good way to determine DCIA?
The USDA Forest Service uses DCIA values based on Impervious Cover % as general estimates when modeling watersheds near major cities. Here is one example of such values derived for Deer Creek watershed (stream gauge #07010086) near St. Louis in May, 2015:
DCIA (low density) 22.2903757
DCIA (med density) 26.4845026
DCIA (high density) 34.70990685
These values are generated using Sutherland equations. Which equation should be used for a certain project is based on density estimates made when deriving land cover parameters with i-Tree Canopy. More information on the basis and use of the Sutherland equations is available in the following documents:
- R.C. Sutherland (n.d.). Methods for Estimating the Effective Impervious Area of Urban Watersheds. Retrieved October 13, 2014 from http://projects.vhb.com/stormwatersemin ... 0cover.pdf.
- US EPA (2014, April). Estimating Change in Impervious Area (IA) and Directly Connected Impervious Areas (DCIA) for New Hampshire Small MS4 Permit. Retrieved September 15, 2015 from http://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=P100ALMQ.txt.
- The default value for DCIA can be used of course if no better information exists. The three values provided above based on density estimates can serve as an alternative to the default value.
- Rough estimates can be made with local knowledge of a site and good conceptual knowledge of impervious cover and directly connected impervious area.
- An empirical method that requires only impervious cover to estimate DCIA is the Sutherland equations. This is what model developers often use for their Hydro projects. More information on this method is provided above.
- Accuracy can be refined on small areas using i-Tree Canopy surveys and breaking the impervious areas out into different types (connected roads/non-connected roads, connected roofs/non-connected roofs, etc.) The DCIA estimation is then based on local knowledge and i-Tree Canopy results.
- For a most accurate estimation of this parameter, GIS analysis would need to be done using a sewer network map, stream map, impervious cover map, and elevation information for the area.

More than 50 firefighters have been tackling a blaze at a Black Country yard involving 16 lorries.
The fire happened at a site off Hickman Avenue, in Wolverhampton, at around 1.30am on Sunday.
As well as the HGVs, there were seven containers that were also affected, which firefighters were trying to gain access to in order to make sure the flames were all out.
Many were locked which were causing some problems for the emergency services.
West Midlands Fire Service Incident Commander Andy Smith said there were no hazardous materials inside those containers.
Speaking from the scene at around 8.30am, he said: "We are now making a more aggressive and assertive attack on some of those containers now that we have daylight.
"We are attacking them from the front as well as the back. We will be delayed at the incident, with relief fire crews coming along."
The yard is situated in a residential area, in Fallings Park, which is also close to East Park.
Incident Commander Smith also had a message for residents living in the area: "There are no major hazardous materials in the containers.
"However, I would advise residents to stay out of the smoke and keep their windows and doors closed."
At the height of the fire there were 10 fire engines at the scene as well as two hydraulic platforms which were used to battle the fire from above.
Video footage of the fire taken by WMFS staff shows how ferocious the blaze was.
A WMFS spokeswoman said that a number of fire crews were still at the scene at around 10.30am, although the operation was being scaled down.
She added: "Around 35 firefighters are still there this morning dealing with the incident."
It is not yet known how the fire started.

Smutsia temminckii
Other names: Ground pangolin, Cape pangolin
IUCN Status: Vulnerable (A4d)
Distribution: Angola, Botswana, Central African Republic, Chad, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Distinguishing characteristics: The Temminck's pangolin is the only species found in southern Africa and can be easily distinguished from the two noticeably smaller tree-dwelling African species of pangolin by its fossorial as opposed to arboreal lifestyle and regular scale pattern. Unlike the larger giant pangolin it inhabits dry and arid savannah and desert environments.
Reproduction: The Temminck's pangolin gives birth to a single offspring after a gestation period of approximately 139 days.
Facts: The Temminck's pangolin often uses the burrows of other animals including aardvarks and aardwolves.

LOUISE Redknapp could be described as many things – singer, presenter, businesswoman and mother among them.
You could also throw Wag at her too, given she is married to former Liverpool and Spurs footballer-turned-pundit ?Jamie Redknapp but she is far removed from the plastic fantastic, fake tan stereotype of the genre.
She isn't alone either, as she is keen to point out.
Louise said. "I think Wag is often used in a pointy finger sort of way. Everybody's different.
"For myself, I had a career before I met Jamie, I was in music, I was in a band, Eternal, so it wasn't me meeting a footballer, it was me meeting a man.
"I was in one job, he was in another job. Football couldn't have been further out of my jurisdiction in meeting somebody. It was a different world.
"I was in music, we had toured America, we were doing our thing.
"I do think Wag can be a derogatory term, which I think is unfair.
"There are hundreds and hundreds of women who are married to footballers and we get to see a very small handful of them. They are all different individuals and they choose the way they want to live their life or look and I don't think it is really fair on anyone else to judge."
She is happy to put herself up for judgment as a TV presenter, however, a role she has stepped into seamlessly, establishing herself on screen in programmes including The Clothes Show and The Truth About Size Zero and Something For The Weekend.
She is back on screens, with Anna Richardson, presenting new Channel 4 series How Not to Get Old, which investigates the latest scientific developments in anti-ageing treatments.
Her take on the beauty programme only underlines her attitude to Wag status.
At 39, and a mother of two, she's not interested in trying to defy the ageing process, more embrace it and enjoy it.
She said: "I think we make a common mistake of all wanting to look younger and I think there is nothing more attractive, charming and endearing than when you meet a woman and you think she looks amazing for her age rather than 20 years younger because of this, that and everything else.
"I think there is something lovely when a woman looks well.
"It isn't about how old or how young they look, they just look well in themselves.
"That's probably my role in the programme, looking at that and how we can try to achieve that for not a lot of money and not a lot of surgery."
She has more than a passing TV interest in make-up, having set up her own business Wild About Beauty in September last year. It came out of her own issues when her skin suffered after her pregnancy with Beau, four, her second son after Charley, eight.
She said: "I have quite dark skin and when I had my son I suffered quite bad pigmentation, I had dark patches on my face. Everyone said it would go but it would take a very long time for them to even slightly disappear.
"That is what made me look into natural make-up, which would help even out my skin tone without being too harsh.
"That is where my initial interest in make-up comes from, it's more scientific than just cosmetic. I wanted to look at what was in make-up and not helping my skin and that's how the journey with the make-up really started. It came from quite an honest place, something I felt I needed.
"And it was also due to the fact you meet a lot of women along the way who suffered from the same thing and want it for other reasons. I thought, 'This is something I can actually do'. I am quite a girl's girl, I think I know what women would like.
"I felt I could come up with something that was quick and easy, good for women, give them confidence and ticked all the boxes for everyday life."
It may sound like a contradiction in terms but it is not a vanity project.
She is not just a face for the brand but a partner, with friend and make-up artist Kim Jacobs, and they are just about to launch in Saudi Arabia.
She said: "Kim is amazing. She was my make-up artist, we were working on the brand together and she got the bit between her teeth and said, 'Right, we are going to turn this into a business and company'.
"I was like, 'Right, OK' and she just started bulldozing ahead.
"I thought, 'OK, I'm going to do this and we're going to do this properly'.
"I think a lot of people have maybe misunderstood my involvement in the company in that it is very easy nowadays to think somebody is brought in on a licensing deal but actually it is my company along with Kim. We raised the finance and got it into the store all together.
"So there is a lot riding on it. You never know how it will go but I believe all you can do is work hard and do the best you can."
It makes her, of course, a working mum and while her life appears glamorous on paper, she has the same issues and concerns as everyone else trying to fit it all in.
She said: "I lead a busy life. I am married to a man who used to be a footballer, but I work. I still do the school run, I am still rushing through the door trying to cook dinner at 6pm while on the phone about Wild About Beauty and maybe doing an interview. I juggle all those things.
"I can't lie. I'd love to say it's easy and we make it work but some days are really tough. At the moment, I'm here and the kids are all that matters and it's great.
"But there are some days at home where I am not there to do school pick-up or to go to a swimming gala because I have a meeting or I am filming and when you can't be there as a parent, it hurts because you want to be there for everything.
"My kids are obviously my priority but there are some days where they get left with family watching them because mum has to go to work. They understand that and nine times out of 10, I make it work but some day it's chaos."
It also makes reports of her getting back together with Eternal seem wide of the mark. Speaking just days before she politely dismissed claims that the band – one of the top selling of the 90s – were linking up for The Big Reunion II, Louise, who enjoyed success with four solo albums, had no interest in it.
She said: "I love music and to get back into the industry would be a dream but I am also realistic.
"For me to get back in Eternal and go on the Big Reunion would not work.
"If we were ever going to make a record together or do anything, it would have to be very natural, organic, work in the studio, and release it the proper way, the way we have always done it.
"For me to be in a TV programme, warts and all, would just be my worst nightmare.
"It wouldn't happen at all. I have no interest in that. I loved watching the programme, it was great but I don't think it would work for us.
"As far as singing with the girls or singing again, I would never rule it out."
In the meantime, she has enough going on, as well as her family, Wild About Beauty and her TV career, she is the ?face of Gallo Family Vineyards Summer White.
She's been a brand ambassador before, but chooses her partners carefully.
She said: "One thing I have learnt is to be honest.
"Whether I am out there talking about Wild About Beauty, How Not to Get Old, or about Gallo, I never underestimate people's intelligence.
"People know if it is something that doesn't honestly fit in with your life or you are making it up and it is not an honest connection.
"You talk about a brand you think is great, it comes across if you mean it or not, so I always think you should stick with the ones you genuinely want to talk about and you have not got a problem."
- How Not to Get Old is on Channel 4 at 8pm on Wednesdays.

What is Good Design?
I was going to show a picture of a MacBook Air, but chose the Post-it notes because design is a touchy but important issue; TreeHugger spends so much time looking at design because it is the tool for making our lives more efficient and comfortable, and will play a big role in solving our current problems. Alice Rawsthorne of the International Herald Tribune, one of the best design writers around, tackles the issue, defining it as 1. What it does, 2. How it looks, 3. What's new, 4. How it works, and 5. Guilt.-
"What's the point of designing something gorgeous and useful if it makes us feel guilty, because we know that it's ethically or environmentally irresponsible? Once such concerns were dismissed as the hang-ups of a cranky minority. Not now. Just think of how quickly the plastic bag has become taboo in many countries." ::IHT and ::Core77

Here's the end of that same scene from AFTER, because some of you asked for it — and because I lost tonight writing a post on gender in media that I need someone to sanity check for me tomorrow. Just you wait!
"Maybe it's fine there," Kit said, later. He was walking in the dusty strip of ditch between the highway and a still-fenced field. "Maybe Vegas was a fluke."
"A fluke?" Scout stepped over the skull of something that might have been a cow. "Seriously?"
Kit shrugged, shoulders jerky under the weight of his pack. "Maybe. You don't know. You're not, like, a prophet."
Scout snorted, pulling her baseball cap down over her eyes. "Wanna go back and find out?" she asked him, and saw the flush of colour crawl up his neck before he ducked his head.
Kit climbed out of the ditch and onto the road, skirting a fallen section of fence. "No," he said finally, "I don't want to go back and find out. I just wish we could have. You know."
"Taken more stuff?"
Kit's shoulders tensed. "Said goodbye."
"I told you not to make friends."

Apple has today launched the second generation of its popular AirPods, available with the long-promised wireless charging case, a new H1 chip designed specifically for headsets, hands-free "Hey Siri", longer battery life, and faster connections to devices.
According to Apple, the new H1 chip delivers performance efficiencies, faster connect times, up to 50% more talk time compared to the first generation, and the convenience of hands-free "Hey Siri".
Of particular interest to VoiceOver users, will be Apple's statement that latency has been improved by 30% over the previous generation AirPods. Although this is cited as a benefit for gamers, our hope is that it will also improve VoiceOver 'lag'.
The new wireless charging case can be charged either wirelessly using a Qi-compatible charging mat or with the Lightning connector. As of yet, there is no news on a release for Apple's long overdue AirPower charging mat.
The new AirPods are available to order online now for US$199 with the wireless charging case, or with the standard case for US$159. The wireless charging case is also available separately for US$79 and is compatible with the first generation AirPods.
The specifications for the new AirPods state that they require macOS 10.14.4, iOS 12.2, or watchOS 5.2. With the AirPods shipping next week, this indicates that we will also be seeing software releases from Apple shortly.
Today's announcement follows closely on the heels of the arrival of new iPad Air and iPad mini models on Monday; yesterday's iMac refresh; and effectively confirms that Apple's focus for next week's "It's show time" event will be services.
Let us know in the comments your thoughts on the new AirPods and whether you plan on buying them.

hi their, I've got the ones with out the wireless case already added to my bag, and I plan on ordering them next month. I held off on buying airpods due to the fact I figured these would be coming out at some point.
Will be picking these up

I have been waiting for these for the past year or so, and plan on picking them up.
Hoping Beats releases updates
Submitted by Brian Giles on
Hoping Beats releases updates to their headphones with this new H1 chip. Air Pods have one deal-breaking issue for me, no volume controls and you can only assign one thing to the double tap on each air pod. I've been happy with my Beats X and would jump at an updated second gen.
air pod
Submitted by Holger Fiallo on
I wonder how it will work with iPhone and watch. Now the airpod that I have does not work well with both. If I tried to use apple watch 3 and iPhone xx it will not work. It will be nice if I could move from watch and iPhone without any problem.
i'm still deciding
Submitted by techluver on
I have a first gen airpods. think it's worth it to upgrade?
Submitted by Holger Fiallo on
Not sure. I do not think the talking time is longer that current. The only thing I know is about the chip that suppose to make the transition from watch and iPhone or other device easy. I am not planning to upgrate my current airpod. I might get the wireless case if I had the money.
H1 chip
Submitted by Bo on
The H1 chip is supposed to extend useful talk time by 50%, to 3 hours, from 2.
If you have the original version, my recommendation would be to wait until you notice performance degradation before upgrading. I've had mine for two years now. After near daily use, (They're always in my pocket, ready for use,) I've noticed that listening time is maybe less than half of what it used to be, and my talk time is maybe 20 to 30 minutes before I start hearing the low battery sounds. Also, I used to use the left AirPod alone for phone calls, so the battery on that one dies long before the right.
With that said, my AirPods should arrive with the first batch around the 27th or 29th. Getting the wireless charging version, since I already have key charging mats all over the house.
in-ear grip
Submitted by Bingo Little on
I read somewhere, perhaps it was here, that they're supposed to grip your ears better. I hope this is the case. Mine are not bad by any means, but from time to time I feel like they are slipping. I certainly wouldn't feel confident running while waring them, as some folk apparently do. I also hope they sort out the interfacing between airpods, watch and iPhone. I know some folk have siad that this appeared to have been sorted out with the latest IOS and Watch OS updates, but I haven't found that to be the case.
Submitted by Holger Fiallo on
No. Still having issues with it. Does not work. Using iPhone xx and applewatch 3.
Submitted by Oliver Kennett on
Sad to see that they've not included a pass through audio stream for ambient awareness. I thought that this would be a feature especially as they are ramping up work into AR. Maybe next iteration. Really it's not much of a second generatio, at least, it's not got any real killer applications. Should have been called the AirPods S.
Can you stand the exaggerated delay rate of VoiceOver users when
Submitted by Carter Wu on
If this problem doesn't be resolved, it will be said that no matter how better I will not buy.
Yet again won't be getting these
Submitted by Greg Wocher on
Hello all,
Once again I won't be getting these. Apple has again taken the approach of one size fits all except for those it doesn't. I happen to be one of those that cannot wear these because they don't fit my ears. Beats is suppose to be launching a version like the airpods next month so I will have to wait for those.
Device Switching
Submitted by DPinWI on
I was close to getting Air Pods, but when I heard they do not seamlessly switch between the watch and phone, I passed on them. My Plantronics earpiece does this. If the Air Pods 2 can do it, I haven't seen that news yet. Until they do, I will continue to use the Plantronics device for my at work needs, and my cheapo bluetooth headphone adapter for other listening.
Live listen to the rescue!
Submitted by Paul Martin on
They do in fact have a way to listen to the outside world is you will. All one needs to do is turn on the "Hearing Devices" switch in the control center settings. from that point, flick to the center in your preferred way, activate the new hearing devices button, and start live listen with the pods.
I know not if you can do this with music playing at the same time though, but it would certainly allow you to not take the ear pieces out to cross a street or anything else requiring attention to the outside world.
Not stereo
Submitted by Oliver Kennett on
From my understanding, the live listen feature uses the microphones on the iPhone rather than on the AirPods, in which case, I'd not trust it crossing the road as I rely heavily on stereo for spacial awareness, IE, which side that bus is coming from... Uh oh... My hope was that they would use the microphones used for Siri and calls to have a pass through system.
Delay is reduced
Submitted by Carter Wu on
Hi all,
I used the new airpods today.It makes me particularly excited.When we used airpods and voiceover together,VoiceOver's response speed has really improved.Although it still has some gaps compared to wired headsets, it has exceeded my expectations.

I'm not a big coffee fan, so I don't visit Starbucks all that often. But there are some Starbucks drinks I enjoy, and one of them is Iced Passion Tea. I love the hot version when it's colder out, too.
The tea is herbal and mostly made from hibiscus flowers, which means it should have at least some of the blood pressure benefits of regular hibiscus tea.
These days, I only buy Passion tea when I'm traveling and need a quick, tasty drink. When I'm at home, I just make my own passion tea instead. It's a lot cheaper than going to 'bucks every day, and healthier, too.
So I thought I'd share with you how to make your own Passion tea, using the same ingredients.
I guarantee it will taste as good as the Starbucks one, and this way you can make it exactly to your taste.
Plus, you can also control the amount of sugar, which is the main drawback to the Starbucks version — a small (or a Tall in Starbucks language) Passion Tea contains only 60 calories, but those calories come from 15 grams of pure sugar. That's a lot of sugar for an otherwise healthy drink.
Where to Buy Passion Tea Bags
The Passion ice tea isn't actually produced by Starbucks. They use Tazo tea to make the infusion, and say as much on their website.
This is great, because you can buy the exact same Tazo tea that Starbucks uses, without going into a Starbucks store to pay their overinflated prices. (Yeah, I said it!)
Amazon sells a 6-pack of Tazo Passion tea bags for less than $30 — that's a great price for 6 packs of 24 passion tea bags each, or a whopping 144 teabags in all.
This amount of tea should last you for months, even in hot weather, and you'll get tons and tons of iced tea and brewed tea out of it.
Passion Tea Ingredients
What ingredients does Tazo Passion tea have? I checked, because I'm particular about my tea, and I'm happy to say that they are all natural.
No artificial colors, weird chemical fruit flavors or E-numbers whatsoever.
Here's the skinny, straight from the packaging:
- Hibiscus flowers
- Natural tropical flavors
- Citric acid
- Licorice root
- Orange peel
- Cinnamon
- Rose hips
- Lemongrass
- Fruit juice extract
How to Make Passion Iced Tea
Making your own passion tea couldn't be simpler. Here's the recipe:
Hot passion tea recipe
- Boil water on the stove, or in your hot water dispenser.
- Use 2 Tazo passion tea bags for 12 oz of water, or 4 tea bags for up to 20 oz of water.
- Put your tea bags in a tea pot or other container, like a big glass jug.
- Pour the just-boiled water over the tea bags.
- Let the tea steep for at least 10 minutes.
- Add your own choice of sweetener to the tea: honey, sugar, or a no calorie sweetener like Splenda if you prefer.
You now have a strong passion tea, and it should be a beautiful red-pink color. You can drink this tea as is, if you like hot passion tea — or cool it down to make ice tea.
Iced passion tea recipe
- Make the hot passion tea recipe above.
- Taste the tea to check the level of sweetness, add more if you prefer a sweeter ice tea.
- Let the tea cool.
- Pour over ice cubes and enjoy!
- Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
If you would like a sweeter tea that taste's more like iced lemonade, you can add a splash of fruit syrup or lemonade syrup to the tea.
A great taste to try is raspberry syrup, which complements the hibiscus flavor and color really well.
Blackberry syrup also makes a fruitier, more lemonade-like tea.

Not since the bungled response to Hurricane Katrina has the US federal government so callously ignored disaster red flags. Disregarding lessons of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster, the Nuclear Regulatory Administration (NRC) secretively issued a new rule that decreases the frequency of emergency exercises and requires the use of exercise scenarios with no release of radiation, the Associated Press (AP) article reported Tuesday. The new rule will be implemented jointly by the NRC and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The US government conducts two kinds of radiological emergency exercises assessing the state of preparedness. "Plume phase" exercises, conducted every two years, test readiness to respond in the early stages of a radiological emergency, for example to coordinate lifesaving activities like evacuation and sheltering. Recovery phase exercises, typically called "ingestion pathway" exercises, test readiness to protect the food supply, clean up the environment, relocate residents, and aid economic recovery.
The Japanese government's unpreparedness to carry out those responsibilities needlessly exposed consumers to radiation, ballooned costs, ruined farmers, traumatized residents and stunted recovery. The chances that it could happen here in the US have increased as a result of the NRC's new rule.
In May 2009, the NRC published a draft rule (NRC-2008-0122), titled "Enhancements to Emergency Preparedness Regulations," that described proposed changes and solicited public comment. After the public comment period ending October 19, 2009, NRC commissioners reviewed the draft rule on January 14, 2011. None of those who reviewed the proposed changes had the benefit of knowing how the March 2011 disaster in Japan played out, challenging previous assumptions.
For public safety's sake, the NRC should have started the process over again, providing a post-Fukushima opportunity for review and comment. Instead, it forged ahead with the Final Rule, publishing it in the Federal Register on November 23, 2011—the day before Thanksgiving—when Congress would be out of town and news desks would be lightly staffed. By making the rule effective December 23, on the threshold of Christmas, the NRC ensured that the rule would again receive little notice when published in the Federal Register.
Apparently, the NRC considered the event too mundane to issue a news release, unlike weightier events publicized in releases titled, "NRC Goes Live on Youtube," and "Follow NRC on Twitter."
An NRC webpage dated March 29, 2012, describes the rulemaking history but provides only this vague description of the rule: "The rule changes would strengthen nuclear power plant emergency preparedness by enhancing response to hostile action events and by updating certain requirements, including those related to public alert and notification systems and evacuation planning."
The rule describes impacts on licensees (utilities), but affects state and local governments as well according to FEMA officials interviewed by the AP. FEMA manages exercises testing offsite preparedness as described in the Code of Federal Regulations, 44 CFR 350. Some of the changes appear beneficial, particularly for utilities, but others undermine the efforts of state and local governments to derive benefits from an exercise process that already had problems.
Until the NRC issued the new rule, recovery exercises were conducted every six years. That was problematic because, in less time, many plans would have been revised, personnel would have changed, and organizations would have restructured. That made it likely that the first time a responder implemented a radiological emergency plan—which could take up an entire shelf—would be when a real event occurred. Infrequent exercises thus negate their primary benefit, which is to discover plan implementation flaws when lives are not on the line.
Incredibly, the NRC has now widened the exercise interval, allowing recovery exercises to be conducted every eight years. In that case, they might as well make the interval once a century because the benefit to public safety could not be smaller.
Federal officials are dismissive of the impacts of the changes on state and local governments. The Associated Press reports, "Pressed on the reduced frequency of 50-mile [ingestion pathway] exercises, federal planners said community personnel can practice skills as often as they like, without needing a full-blown federal evaluation each time."
For a couple of reasons, that claim is absurd. First, federal evaluations are necessary because federal agencies possess expertise that is scarce or nonexistent at the state and local level.

After touring much of the galaxy Henge landed in the city of Manchester; the town in which they set up their 'Earth Base' 3.5 Earth years ago. These extraterrestrial beings wasted no time, rapidly establishing themselves as the band-you-must-not-miss at festivals and gathering a cult-like tribe of followers (known as 'ravelings').
Their fun live show and positive message for mankind is set to music that is simultaneously anarchic and wholesome. From its freaky opening to its euphoric conclusion Henge's live show takes you on a joyous and imaginative journey...blithely going where no man has gone before...
Henge is a true crossover band fusing musical elements recognisable from electronic dance music, prog, psychedelia etc ... but when genre tags inevitably fall short in describing their unique sound we are encouraged (at the band's behest) to refer to this music as 'cosmic dross'.
In July 2017 they released Cosmic Dross on Love Love Records, a five-track EP of electronic madness so unique and captivating that it firmly cemented their reputation with the alternative festival community.
The band have proved popular with a variety of audiences. Together with the much-respected Age of Glass they throw their own wild, sci-fi themed raves - a night called Space Cassette, then, of course, they've impressed at festivals such as Womad, Boomtown, Bestival and Fusion to name a few. They also curate a Space Cassette takeover at Bluedot festival each year and as demand for their lively, colourful show has increased amongst more family-oriented festivals they have responded by hosting hugely popular matinee shows so that their younger fans can attend.
Henge's first full-length album Attention Earth released on October 19th 2018, is a mind-blowing piece that will change the future of earth. It has already gained many advocates in press and radio.
"I absolutely love Henge, they are amazing." -Soho Radio

I like superhero movies. I really do. They're fun and fast and the costumes are faaaa-bulous. Straight men in stretchy fabric and capes – this is better than figure skating! This summer's heroic roster includes Iron Man, Batman and The Incredible Hulk. And as great as those crime fighters are, they're also a reminder that when it comes to superhero movies, no women need apply – this is man country.
New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis recently opined on the lack of women heroes and women— period — in today's big budget blockbusters. Could this be the realization of Warner Brothers exec Jeff Robinov's decree that the studio would not make any more movies with female leads? Dargis thinks so:
"Nobody likes to admit the worst, even when it's right up there on the screen, particularly women in the industry who clutch at every pitiful short straw, insisting that there are, for instance, more female executives in Hollywood than ever before. As if it's done the rest of us any good. All you have to do is look at the movies themselves — at the decorative blondes and brunettes smiling and simpering at the edge of the frame — to see just how irrelevant we have become."
Ouch, but true.
One needs only to look at this summer's slate to see the sad truth. Besides all the testosterone-driven superhero flicks, it's all dudes – old and young. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: old dude with a whip. Speed Racer: young dude with a car. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian: Prince dude. You Don't Mess with the Zohan: secret agent turned hairstylist dude. Get Smart: not-so-smart dude. The Love Guru: enlightened dude. Hancock: burned-out super dude. Hellboy II: The Golden Army: big red dude. Pineapple Express: stoner dudes. Bangkok Dangerous: why-is-he-still-getting-leading-action-roles dude.
So what is out there with women leads? Two films aimed at girls: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 and Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. The latter is based on a line of dolls. (Yes, dolls.) And for us grown ups? We have Mamma Mia! and Sex and the City. Plus I call halvsies on The X-Files: I Want to Believe because it is both Mulder and Scully.
For years, the conventional industry wisdom has been that women will go see a men's movie, but men won't see a woman's movie. The NY Times piece lays out some stark numbers along those lines. Only three of last year's 20 highest-grossing films were female driven, and those films were either about princesses (Enchanted) or pregnancy (Knocked Up, Juno). Talk about your Madonna/whore complex.
But this leads us to the classic chicken or egg question: Are there few successful female-driven films because they don't do well, or do female-driven films not do well because there are so few of them? I have to believe the latter. Baby Mama, a comedy with not one but two female leads (way to eat up the year's quota, ladies,) opened No. 1 and beat out a comedy with two male leads (Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay). Perhaps you've also heard of Alien, The Devil Wears Prada and some hardly-seen flick called Titanic.
Hundreds of male-driven films flop each year, but there are so many of them, we hardly notice except for the biggest-budget disasters. But if one or two female films fail (like Nicole Kidman's The Invasion and Jodie Foster's The Brave One last year) and it's time to pull the plug? In the last three years Nicolas Cage (the aforementioned "why-is-he-still-getting-leading-action-roles dude") has had bomb (Next) after bomb (The Wicker Man) after bomb (The Weather Man) after bomb (Lord of War); yet there is his big creepy face on movie posters for Bangkok Dangerous scaring small children.
The problem isn't that women's movies don't do well; the problem is that women's movies are treated as a niche. The choices in female-driven films simply aren't as broad as the choices in male-centered films. For the most part, we are either in romantic comedies (because, you know, all women want to get married) or thrillers (because, you know, women in peril sells). It's pretty simple: more choices mean more opportunities to connect, means more chance of success.
Women-centered films can become the Field of Dreams of cinema. If you make good ones, we will come.

I found this recipe off this blog {Kelli's sister}. And um, they look and sound mouth watering. You can leave them simple and fudge-like or you go the extra mile and make them rocky road brownies by adding the topping.
{warning: chocolate overdose is a possiblity}
2 sticks plus
4 Tbs unsalted butter
10 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, broken up coarsely or chopped (I use Ghirardelli)1 1/3 cup all-purpose white flour
3 Tbs unsweetened, American style cocoa powder, sifted if lumpy
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
6 large eggs
5 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 by 13 pan. Line the pan with aluminum foil, letting the foil overhang two opposing sides of the pan by 2 inches. Grease the foil. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter and chocolate on 100-percent power for 1 minute. Stir well.
Continue microwaving, stirring at 20-second intervals. Stop microwaving before the chocolate completely melts and let the residual heat finish the job. Let cool to warm. In a small bowl, thoroughly stir together flour, cocoa powder and salt; set aside. Stir the sugar and brown sugar into the chocolate-butter mixture. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well blended and smooth. Stir the flour mixture just until evenly incorporated. Turn out the batter into the baking pan, spreading to the edges. Bake in the middle of the oven for 35 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs at the bottom.
{rocky road topping}
Sprinkle 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, then 1 1/3 cups miniature marshmallows and ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the brownie. Bake for 5-8 minutes more, or until the marshmallows are puffed and lightly tinged with brown and the chocolate chips are melted.

Something that took me a long time to accept after contracting meningitis in 2001, was that my brain was changed, and not changing back. During occupational therapy I was a mess, and my brain a bit mush for a while afterwards. I was very lucky, but I had very different limitations.
Let me explain.
I was very lucky. Incredibly lucky. I also didn't know any of this when I actually had it. Optimism!
I can list the symptoms and tell about the 8 days in hospital, and how my folks thought I would die, but the purpose of this isn't to get overdramatic. If you want to know more about the disease, go here. Let's just say I was pleased to go home and become an outpatient, and completely unprepared and unrealistic about what would happen next. I fully expected to sit my exams and carry on with my life. What I got was 6 months of confusion and mental difficulties that, although diminished, have never gone away.

Well, I am going to try to keep posting something up but I have not been in the hobby mood for the past few days dealing with one of my dogs. Today we had to make the hardest choice which was to put him to sleep after several sleepless nights of barking, pacing, staring off into space and being just unsettled.
Sadly, Lucas had a cognitive degenerative disorder (his mind was slowly slipping and simple things was no longer processing the way they should normally). The vet also added that based upon some other signs he felt he was in the early stages of cancer as well. We did the right thing, but it is still painful as hell to make this choice. He ate fine, he slept fine (when he did), was active and had no issues walking other than the disorder that had been slowly building up over the years. Even the tranquilizers we tried for him only worked for a short time before the meds was no longer helping.
Lucas was a good dog with a few faults but that is the way always with animals and has enjoyed 10+ years with my wife and me along with his adopted brother Wally W from the Basset Hound Rescue of Georgia and has given us so many great memories and adventures that I recall like they were yesterday. Born in Savannah, Georgia and found wandering the streets as a puppy taken in by the Rescue. He had a cold and had obvious signs of abuse including a broken tail and one leg that was slightly off. My wife fell in love with the little guy and I worked hard behind her back to surprise her on the day we was to pick him up. Instead, my wife was greeted an hour before the end of her work day with a cute basset puppy standing outside with large brown eyes. Since then he has endured adventures with my wife and I including taking a car trip to Florida with no AC and having a car breakdown by the highway and given a ride by a total stranger picking up a couple with a fur ball in tow. Oh the stories could continue….
I will make effort to keep producing some good content as I get over the loss to our family.


text: TV ESPN Channel to Launch in Africa as Part of Kwese Deal 3:17 AM PDT 10/25/2016 by Georg Szalai FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Nick Caito/ESPN Images ESPN The network will be available in 19 countries, and Walt Disney's sports juggernaut will also produce daily 'SportsCenter' updates for Africa. Walt Disney's ESPN on Tuesday unveiled a partnership with Kwese, the sports network arm of African telecom and pay TV operator Econet, that will bring content from the sports juggernaut to the region. Financial details weren't disclosed, but the partners vowed to "deliver the most comprehensive sports coverage in Africa, offering a wide range of sports and thousands of hours of programming." They added: "African audiences will benefit from industry-leading content from the world's leading sports media company in ESPN, in conjunction with Kwese's premium sports offering, while Kwese's pan-African reach and its TV everywhere multi-platform distribution capability will deliver the content to viewers through TV and digital platforms making it accessible to sports fans wherever they are." ESPN has been looking to boost its international profile via deals with strong regional or local partners. Among them are deals with Sony in India, Tencent in China and BT Sport in the U.K. In Africa, ESPN previously had an ESPN and ESPN Classic channel, but they were closed in 2013. The new deal takes effect in early 2017 with the launch of an ESPN channel in 19 countries, which will be exclusive to Kwese. ESPN will also produce daily SportsCenter updates for Africa, bringing the sports news and highlights brand to the channel. In addition, by mid-2017, ESPN and Kwese will together launch an African edition of the ESPN website and mobile app. The new KweseESPN.com, and its accompanying app, will combine ESPN's coverage of global sports with local African sports coverage from Kwese. With the deal, Kwese adds NCAA American football and basketball to its existing TV rights for the NFL, NHL and the NBA, underlining its strategy of being the home of American sports in Africa. "This long-term collaboration across television and digital media will...serve millions of sports fans across Africa with exceptional products, content and coverage," said Russell Wolff, executive vp and managing director, ESPN International. "We are very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we bring ESPN's great content, including SportsCenter, and decades of experience in sports media together with one of Africa's most dynamic and vibrant companies." Said Joseph Hundah, CEO of Econet Media: "Ultimately our goals are the same, to bring fans the best in global sports. The synergies between Kwese and ESPN allow us to achieve that goal by leveraging our collective ability to deliver premium African and global sports programming to sports fans across Africa."

Using different fresh herbs can add wonderful flavor to healthy living meals, with no salt, and few calories. Some of the more recognizable herbs that you can add are:
1. Parsley: There are different types, and are loaded with twice the carotenoid contents of carrots. It is rich in antioxidants which may help prevent coronary artery disease.
It is often used as a garnish on plates in restaurants, but can be added to salsa's for fish, bagged corn for color, or eggs for color.
2. Cilantro: Often used in Mexican and Middle Eastern foods. Cilantro has a distinctive flavor. It can help reduce cholesterol, reduce high-blood sugar and is a good source of vitamin A and C.
3. Basil: One of my favorites, basil has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It is often a part of Italian dishes and is a fresh addition to tomatoes, and as a part of a fresh fruit salsa for fish. It is wonderful as pesto on pasta or spaghetti squash as well.
4. Oregano: A flavor star on lamb, beef, eggs, beans, eggplant and in tomato sauce, oregano is often used dry, but its flavor when fresh is delightful. As an excellent source of vitamin K, and a good source of A and C.
5. Dill: Dill leaves are delicate and are often thought of used with fish. It is added to Greek yogut dishes with cucumbers and garlic. High in calcium, iron and fiber, it may be a fresh herb to experiment with.
6. Mint: Mint can be utilized for double-duty in your clean eating food plan; it's great with meats, vegetables, and marinades, but it can be used to add a flavor interest in water or tea. Try this instead of soda pop as a healthier choice.
If you're used to using dried herbs, you will find you must use more fresh herbs. Add a small piece of whatever you're adding to your entrée as a garnish for a wonderful olfactory addition to your meal.

This is less awkward than it could have been. It's a fascinating look at what cultural norms allowed and how they discussed them. For example, it's true that some kids go through a "fat stage," but we wouldn't talk about it that way now. At the same time, the narrator immediately follows that with something indicating that people in the "fat stage" don't remain there forever. Far from being silly, the film attempts to deal with puberty in a way that is appropriate for the ages who will watch the film. Excellent slice of post-war America.
