The Chairman of the Lod municipality ordered the management of the National Lottery Center in Lod to cancel a conference with right-wing political party Otzma Yehudit, thus breaking a contract signed with the party.
The conference was supposed to have taken place at the Ort School at the National Lottery Center. Otzma Yehudit had signed a contract with the site's management, in which it was clearly stated that the planned event was an Otzma Yehudit conference.
In a conversation, the site's administrative director Mrs. Leah Haguel can be heard telling Otzma Yehudit field coordinator Tzvi Sukkot that the city municipality had ordered that the contract be cancelled.
"I spoke to the municipality, the municipality director general, and I do not have permission to do it…"
The field coordinator asked Hajuel if there was any reason, and she replied: "I have no idea ... I was told not to carry out [the contract] and so I am not doing it."
The field coordinator asserted claimed that such action constituted a breach of contract, to which Hajuel responded: "There are people above me [...] You are right in everything you say, but I received an instruction not to comply and I have to implement it."
In response to the cancellation of the conference, Otzma members announced that the conference would take place in any case on Monday in Lod at Gandhi Garden, in the city center.
Chairman of Otzma Yehudit, Dr. Michael Ben Ari, said, "This constitutes the silencing of voices, it is not hard to guess what would have happened if we were dealing with a cancellation of a Joint List or Meretz conference. The Chairman of the Lod Municipality is acting out of political concerns, and we will file a suit against the auditorium and the Authority for hundreds of thousands of shekels. Neither will we give up, we will not shut our mouths, and next Monday at Gandhi Garden we will hold an Otzma Yehudit conference despite the rage of the enemies of Israel and all those who seek to shut mouths."
Attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir, one of the leaders of Otzma Yehudit, said: "The National Lottery Center and the Ort administration are acting against the law and caused great damage to the Otzma movement. Beyond the legal question and the issue of monetary compensation, for which we will sue in court, is the issue of the silencing by the Lod municipality specifically of a movement that calls for love of Israel and encourages Israel's enemies to emigrate to their countries."

A study came out last year from the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science listing the most common reasons that people give for surrendering their dogs to shelters.
They list behavior (specifically, biting) at number 10. There is an argument to be made that the percentage of animals relinquished for behavior issues is much higher than this. Continue reading

3 Awesome Tools to Add More Functionality to Your USB Drives [Windows]
USB drives are ubiquitous these days. Almost everyone has one but what do you use them for? Storage? Is that all?
We recognize this and we have covered a plenty of tools and applications 100 Portable Apps for Your USB Stick for Windows and macOS Portable apps let you take your favorite software anywhere via a flash drive or cloud storage. Here are 100 of them to cover your every need, from games to image editors. Read More that you can use with USB drives. There is also an excellent post which lists some tools that make things easier when using a USB drive.
However, it's been quite a while since it was published back in 2008. Its about time to add a few more tools for your USB drive!
USB Safeguard
We have often highlighted the importance of encrypting sensitive files if you want to protect them from prying eyes. Mark even wrote a complete article on how you can encrypt your USB drive with Truecrypt Encrypt Your USB Stick With Truecrypt 6.0 Read More . Truecrypt is great and awesome and useful in many ways. However, its not exactly the tool for a USB drive that every beginner can get the hang off instantly. I remember that it took me a fair bit of reading documentation and trial and error to figure out what is what and how things work in TrueCrypt land.
If your sole need is to encrypt files on your USB drive than you can look into USB safeguard. It uses AES 256 to encrypt data on your USB drive and all you have to do is to copy the downloaded executable onto your USB drive and set a password. Keep in mind that it needs to store some files necessary for it to operate on your USB drive and requires some space for that, so the entire storage capacity of your USB drive won't be available to you.
You can choose to encrypt selected folders or the entire contents of your USB drive. It gives you the option to store the password in a file in case you forget it because there is no way to get your data or password back once you lose it. After it is done with the encryption, it lets you choose if you would like to keep the original unencrypted files on your drive or shred them.
USB Agent
The name sounds like what you would get if you've just done a system scan and your antivirus software returned a nomenclature for a virus. In fact, there is one which has a similar name. However the USB Agent I am demonstrating to you is a neat little application that can help you launch applications automatically whenever you plug in a USB device.
This can come in quite handy in a couple of situations. You might have a flash drive that you use to store office documents. In such a case, you can configure USB Agent to fire up your favorite Microsoft Office application for example, or you can use it to launch a web browser whenever you plug in a USB drive. In fact, you can even use it run a batch file which opens up endless opportunities.
The application requires some configuration. You need to create a usbagent.inf file containing:
[usb agent]
ON = <application path>
OFF = <application path>
The ON app will be launched when you plug in the USB device and the OFF app is launched when you remove the device. More information can be found on USB Agent's website (which is in German but big G can help you with that)
USB Dumper (Direct download, read below before clicking)
USB Dumper lets you backup the contents of your USB drive automatically when you connect it to your computer. Just plug your device in and USB Dumper copies all the files to a desired location on the filesystem. The dump folder is named using the date on which the backup was made.
Geek Alert: USB Dumper has been used for "other" purposes as well. It has also been used to download data automatically from a user's pen drive as soon as it is connected without the user knowing. However, there is no reason why you cannot use it for backup purposes. Personally, I use USB Dumper to backup the USB drive automatically when it is connected. Needless to say that Antivirus software will display an alert on seeing USB Dumper but as I always say, antivirus applications are tools that assist you and they can be wrong (although in this case they are kind of right). So if you are the slightest bit disturbed by it, perhaps you should stick with something like SyncToy. Have a look at the awesomeness:
Do you know of any other applications and tools that you find particularly useful for your USB drives?

Berit's Bliss
Autumn Centerpiece Inspiration
There are few things more inspiring than a Norwegian autumn. Nature paints the most beautiful portrait with its warm and comforting color palette of red, gold and orange foliage. I am so lucky that I can just walk outside to be surrounded by it all.
To bring the coziness of the season to my home, I source pieces and parts of the outdoors. This past weekend I hosted friends and family for a dinner party and created a festive autumn table.
Want to do it yourself?
Start with a soothing color palette. I personally love orange, yellow, green and grey, so I brought these hues to my table through placemats, napkins and a centerpiece. These tones mix well with others for an inviting atmosphere. Hint: Our 2017 signal color ties right in! We'll introduce you to it in the coming months.
Then, turn to your own backyard. Collect items you can easily bring inside to add to your table. I have collected leaves to place on the table and tie on to napkin rings.
Once you have your color scheme and theme for your centerpiece set, add flowers. I have a gorgeous bush in my backyard that is a nice shade of burgundy this year, so I decided to pull from that for my flower arrangement with a few seasonal berries growing nearby.
Now that the table is set add matching accessories to other parts of your home. I collected leaves for a few vases throughout my living room, like the one below placed on my window sill. Make it cozy by adding candles and then rejoice with your loved ones.
There's something about the change of seasons that makes me want to enjoy my indoor space. Bringing parts of the outdoors in makes it even more enjoyable. I've been so excited that I've applied the same theme of autumn hues throughout our showroom in Ålesund!
I bring you warm greetings for a nice autumn both outside an inside!

Day in the Life of a VP of Service Excellence
Have you ever want to know what it would be like to work in a different job or industry within process improvement? PEX Network's twice monthly "A Day in the Life" series continues this week with Deanna Cousino, vice president of service excellence (operational excellence) at Arbitron Inc., a United States-based media and marketing research firm.
I'm charged with leading and guiding the Lean Six Sigma and quality management initiatives at Arbitron Inc. Since Arbitron is a media ratings organization, this means that I'm leading these initiatives in a transactional environment. My title is vice president in charge of service excellence, and this title stems from the service orientation of our business. I have a team of Lean Six Sigma, quality management and program management/business continuity professionals that report to me.
Allow me to recap a recent work day. A portion my team is currently laying out the formal structure for our quality management initiative. We are about to implement a pilot self-assessment program to gauge our current adherence to ISO 9001:2008-based quality management principles and requirements. I spent the first two hours of this day reviewing the documentation and training materials that my team had prepared for the pilot participants.
Deanna Cousino is the Vice President of Service Excellence at Arbitron Inc.
I then moved to a kaizen event report-out session. The initial focus of our Lean Six Sigma initiative was on the lean side of the house, and we always have a number of kaizen events that are in various states of completion – from planning, to execution, to final report-out and wrap-up. On this particular day, we were looking at one of our quality control processes. Arbitron is in a regulated industry and is required to conduct ongoing quality control tests to maintain our certification. The kaizen leaders presented their improvement recommendations and received approval from their leadership team to move forward.
From the kaizen event report-out session, I then hosted our service operations management review meeting. In our efforts to adhere to the ISO 9001:2008-based quality management principles and requirements, our leadership team conducts regular management review meetings. In this particular management review meeting, some of the process owners reported on the status of kaizen event results. We want to 'sustain the gains' from our continual improvement efforts, so we review the results on a scheduled basis to ensure that actual performance is meeting expected results and to discuss plans to address issues that may arise.
My last meeting of the day was spent helping a green belt trainee practice her Define phase tollgate presentation for actual delivery on the next day. Arbitron is going through its second wave of DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) training for green belts, and we are using our Lean Six Sigma professionals to deliver the training and mentor the green belts. This particular trainee was very nervous about her tollgate and I wanted to spend time with her to ensure that she would be ready.
When I went home a little later, I ate dinner and spent time with my family. After everyone was asleep, I started my preparations for the next business day. I was looking forward to doing it all over again. Although I wouldn't necessarily be working on the exact same things, I would be working to achieve the exact same results: improvingthe efficiency and effectiveness of our business processes to meet our customer and business requirements.
I consider this role to be my dream job. I spend a large share of time mentoring, coaching, training, encouraging and energizing people to help them understand the value of continual improvement and that they can play a direct part in making our company a better place to work.
I'm a natural problem solver, and I'm a mathematically inclined, detail-oriented person. This is a great combination for someone in the business of continual improvement. I graduated from the United States Military Academy, and I have an undergraduate degree in operations research. After leaving the academy, I spent more than six years as a logistics officer in the U.S. Army. I did tours in Korea, Central America and the Middle East. My primary objective was to provide the supplies that our combat soldiers needed to be successful. This was my real work experience in a service environment; but in this particular case, the customers' lives depended on my ability to meet their needs and requirements.
After leaving the U.S. Army, I went to work for General Electric, where I was exposed to the Six Sigma methodology. I eventually became a business unit quality leader. After leaving GE, I either led, or assisted with, the implementation of Six Sigma programs at Armstrong World Industries, Gateway and Avaya. I am a certified Six Sigma master black belt. I also have an MBA from the University of Chicago with concentrations in statistics, finance and marketing.
I believe that all of my career and education experiences have prepared me for the dream role that I currently have today!
Do you want to share your story with PEX Network? If you work in process improvement we'd love to hear what your day is like! "A Day in the Life" submissions should be between 700-1000 words and can be sent to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include a brief professional biography, and a jpeg photograph. Please note: submission does not guarantee publication.

I was born on January 1, honest!
With recent changes at the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, the amount of time we spend entering in our date of birth for Mature-rated game trailers (and then reentering it, because it never seems to keep) may diminish. Giant Bomb has gotten its hands on a document that covers new rules for publishers that are said to be effective immediately.
Not unlike trailers for R-rated films, "A trailer, demo, or video (of any length) for a Mature-rated game that has been deemed suitable for a general audience through the ESRB pre-clearance process will not require an age-gate. Please note that pre-clearance of Mature-rated game trailers posted without an age-gate is mandatory and must be submitted to [the ESRB]."
So while gore- and sex-filled trailers aren't likely to get such approval for a wider audience, this still feels like a step forward. The organization will also now approve the cross-promotion of M-rated titles in games rated below Mature on a case-by-case basis, and has loosened the requirement for demos to display the ESRB rating for four seconds before the game itself is accessible.

NSA spied on illegal downloaders until it realised they were only using streaming software to share Britney Spears tunes, documents reveal
Spies launched operation to track people who distributed pirate music and films, but found the information was 'dubious' at best
THE National Security Agency spied on people who illegally downloaded music and films until it realised they were only sharing pop tunes by artists like Britney Spears.
Documents leaked by Edward Snowden revealed details of NSA plans to snoop on people who used "BitTorrent" software to share copyrighted content.
BitTorrent was popular in the early 2000s and allowed music and film lovers to illegally share content.
This attracted the attention of the NSA, who wanted to know if it could gain valuable intelligence from spying on file-sharers.
But the spooks were shocked to see that people were only using the software to share their favourite tunes, rather than plans to destroy western civilisation.
"By searching our collection databases, it is clear that many targets are using popular file sharing applications," a researcher from NSA wrote on its internet SIDtoday news website, The Intercept reported.
"But if they are merely sharing the latest release of their favourite pop star, this traffic is of dubious value (no offence to Britney Spears intended)."
The NSA claimed to have cracked into a piece of popular file sharing software called Kazaa, allowing them to find targets' "e-mail addresses, country codes, user names, location of the downloaded files, and a list of recent searches".
BitTorrent works by splitting files into tiny little chunks.
People can then downloaded films, music or anything else by downloading these small pieces from hundreds or even thousands of people at a time.
Online piracy is big news recently and content providers are finding new ways to target people who illegally stream sports event or movies.
If you were one of the millions of people illegally streaming the Mayweather and McGregor fight, for instance, you might have noticed mystery codes appearing during the broadcast.
The most likely explanation for the code is that it had been embedded into streams by a broadcaster licensed to show the fight as a method to track those illegally sharing the fight or using devices like the Kodi Box to watch it.
"[It could allow the broadcaster] to track the illicit stream back to a subscriber and/or a set-top box tied to a particular account," TorrentFreak explained.

Bangladesh will not repatriate anybody against will, State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam said today in regard to the Rohingya repatriation process.
Speaking at a programme in Dhaka themed on Rohingya children, the junior minister said Bangladesh will continue to facilitate humanitarian agencies throughout.
He also urged the international community not to lose focus on the Rohingya issue.
The minister came up with the remarks while addressing the launching of a report titled "Childhood Interrupted", focusing on Rohingya refugee children.
It draws the international community's attention to maintain pressure on Myanmar for a long-term solution to the crisis that allows for "safe, dignified and voluntary repatriation."
Praising the effort, the state minister said: "I appreciate the compassion and efforts taken by the organisations who have been working at the field with the government. We suggest the international organisations to create more provisions for children."
The report launching ceremony was held at Spectra Convention Centre in the capital's Gulshan today.
Myanmar wants to improve bilateral ties with BD: Envoy
Newly appointed Myanmar Ambassador in Dhaka Lwin Oo today met Bangladesh Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali and discussed various bilateral issues, including Rohingya issue, reports UNB.
However, when approached after the meeting, the Myanmar envoy did not talk about Rohingya issue.
"I will try my best to improve and strengthen bilateral and economic relations," he told reporters at the Foreign Ministry.
It turned six months today, since almost 700,000 Rohingyas, mostly female and children, fleeing violence in Myanmar started arriving in Bangladesh.
In one of the world's biggest forced migrations in recent years, around half a million people crossed the border in just two months after 25 August, according to the UN migration agency - IOM.
Early images of tens of thousands of frightened and exhausted families filing through muddy paddy fields or crammed into rickety boats during their flight shocked the world, says the UN migration agency.
Spokesman for the UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarric has said urgent efforts are needed to help more than 720,000 Rohingya refugee children who are threatened either by the approaching cyclone season in Bangladesh or by ongoing violence and denial of their basic rights in Myanmar.
In a report marking six months since the start of the latest exodus of Rohingyas into southern Bangladesh, Unicef says floods caused by the forthcoming cyclone season are likely to engulf the fragile and unsanitary camps where most of the refugees are living, raising the likelihood of waterborne disease outbreaks and forcing clinics, learning centres and other facilities for children to close.
Responding to a question at the UN regular briefing, Stephane laid emphasis on creating conditions so that Rohingyas can go home freely, willingly, to a place that is safe and to the place that they called home.
The European Union is likely to come up with "restrictive measures" against Myanmar generals as the Foreign Ministers of European countries sit on Monday in Brussels.
The Foreign Affairs Council of the European Union will begin at 9:00am (Brussels time) with a discussion on current affairs, allowing ministers to review pressing issues on international agenda, an official told UNB.
The Council is expected to adopt a number of conclusions without debate, including a conclusion on Myanmar, the official said.

The ghost of John Welch and his daughter Molly are said to haunt the theater. Welch was the owner of a mansion that stood on the property in the 1830s to 1860s, before it was torn down to build the theater. Molly died of pneumonia at age 8, and her apparition has been seen in the balcony watching performances from the front row.

My father told me he used to clean there, at night when everyone left. No one else would go in there, so it was just him and his co worker. He said there were pictures on the that would change places, when he would put the seats down and come back half of them would be lifted up. He also said that one of the floors you could hear water dripping, banging, people speaking, and much more. I'm pretty sure it's the place he was talking about, this is the only thing I could find about it.

Project Description
This project, led by ITER with the involvement of the Aeronautical and Space Engineering department of the Polytechnical University of Madrid (UPM) and the firm Aernnova Engineering Solutions, aims to build a solar plane with a 16m wingspan capable of flying autonomously. ITER is to develop the power and autonomous navigation system; UPM the aerodynamic design; and Aernnova the structural design. The aircraft will be powered exclusively from solar energy captured by photovoltaic cells covering its wings, and will have an energy-storage system that will enable it to fly at night or in conditions of low solar radiation. The plan is for the aircraft to be fully autonomous and with a range that will enable it to fly continuously for the duration of any mission, guided by a navigation system capable of following a predefined route or controlled from a station on the ground. Both the navigation system and the technology involved in incorporating the photovoltaic cells on the wings have been developed by ITER in previous PRONTAS-related projects (EVAS and PROAVISOL).
Among the intended uses of this type of aircraft are Earth observation and surveillance (border controls, and monitoring of fire, roads or major events), and helping to manage different types of disaster, when, for example, access to the affected areas have been destroyed or human access is hazardous.

Gary Bowyer's squad has been handed a boost ahead of the final away game of the season.
For David Dunn and Josh King are both in contention for the match against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
King has been absent with a hamstring strain since the end of February, whilst Dunn hasn't featured in a Rovers shirt since appearing as a substitute in the FA Cup win over Swansea City back in January due to a calf injury.
"We've got Josh King and David Dunn back on Saturday which is great news for us and for both of them," said Bowyer.
"It has been a while for both of them so we are delighted to be able to welcome them back.
"They've got to come through training tomorrow and then hopefully they'll go into the squad."
The thigh injury sustained by Matt Kilgallon in Tuesday night's win over Millwall isn't as serious as first feared and he could be involved against the Terriers if he recovers in time.
Sustained in the first half, KIlgallon's injury meant he was the fifth central defender to be sidelined in the last two months.
"Matt Kilgallon might be fight for this weekend, but if not, then certainly next weekend." added the Rovers boss.
"But if he doesn't make it then that would be five missing now including young Doneil who we had to send back to West Ham.
"But if you look at the performances that Tommy Spurr has put in since he's gone there they've been terrific for us, and young Darragh came on and did ever so well on Tuesday night."
Tickets for Saturday's match will go off sale at the Oneroverstore, Church Street, Blackburn at 5.30pm this Thursday, and will go off sale at 4pm at the Roverstore, Ewood Park on Friday.
Fans can pay on the day at Huddersfield, cash only from the away turnstiles. Prices are Adults £24, Seniors (60+) £14, Under 18's £10

When I hear Democratic Party friends snicker over the explosion of the Republican Party, I have to ask them why they think the Democratic Party is so stable? It's not. Everyone in the establishment is worrying what Bernie Sanders is going to do now. His populist base is bound to become more and more voluble in months to come, amplified by social media.
And of course Palestine is helping to destabilize the Democratic power structure. When Bernie Sanders stood up for Palestinian dignity at the April 14 debate in New York, people cheered him, and Hillary Clinton got nervous; there are bound to be similar pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia in late July, and I wonder how much of that energy the party will be able to contain. Hillary Clinton is the most hawkish of all the candidates for president. How many Sanders supporters are going to work for the election of someone who resorts to war as readily as she does?
These tensions are evident in the electrifying, seesaw race between two Democratic Maryland congresspeople, Chris Van Hollen and Donna Edwards, to win the Democratic nomination this Tuesday to the Senate to replace Barbara Mikulski.
The race between an establishment white man and a black woman has exposed "fissures" in the Democratic Party, the NY Times says. Van Hollen is now leading in that race, according to the latest polls; and some in the establishment, including the Washington Post, are describing Edwards's insurgent campaign as a "Tea Party" inside the Democratic Party. Joan Walsh's enthusiastic profile of Donna Edwards in the Nation this month emphasized that women are a big part of the Edwards meteor, as are people who took to the streets of Baltimore a year ago after the death of Freddie Gray. "She leads [Van Hollen] by 16 points among women and by 51 points among black voters…"
Walsh says nothing about foreign policy, but the Washington Post notes that Clintonite megadonor Haim Saban is among the establishment forces supporting Van Hollen, to the tune of $100,000:
Committee for Maryland's Progress, a super PAC largely funded by 1199, has spent close to $500,000 to try to defeat Edwards in her neck-and-neck primary for the Senate against Rep. Chris Van Hollen…
About half of the $600,000 raised by the super PAC by early April came from 1199. SEIU Local 32BJ, which represents property service workers, contributed $15,000 to be used only for canvassing.
The rest of the group's money comes largely from donors who have already given the maximum possible to Van Hollen's campaign. One notable contributor is Haim Saban, a billionaire Israeli American entertainment mogul who gave $100,000. Saban is also a major supporter of Hillary Clinton.
Earlier this year the Washington Post said that Edwards took critical stances on Israel, "angering some Jewish donors"; at that point she was getting outraised by Van Hollen, 10 to 1. The Guardian has said that Edwards's votes on Israel and Iran could sink her in the election.
Edwards has gotten a big, $2.4 million push from Emily's List; and the director of Emily's List a week ago stunned a Washington Jewish audience by describing the power of Jewish donors over Middle East policy as shocking and disturbing.
Edwards's own issues page on foreign policy emphasizes her opposition to the use of force and her support for the United Nations:
I came to Congress in opposition to the Iraq war, and with the belief that the American military, with its unsurpassed ability and resources, must only be used to defend our vital interests.
When those interests are at stake, the United States has a right to act. But it has a responsibility to engage with the United Nations and other multilateral institutions to bring stability to troubled regions of the world
Van Hollen is much more explicit about his support for Israel.
He believes we must also remain absolutely committed to ensuring the security of our ally Israel and fight anti-Semitism wherever it raises its ugly head.
Edwards is a great friend of the Palestinian people in Congress. This is from a promotion by a pro-Palestinian group for a Donna Edwards fundraiser in 2010:
Congresswoman Edwards has been one of 25 members of Congress to vote against H. Res. 34 "recognizing Israel's right to defend itself" during Israel's Gaza invasion of 2008/2009 that left 1400 Gazans dead in the span of three weeks. She has cosigned a letter by McDermott/Ellison highlighting the devastating effect of Israel's blockade on the occupied Palestinian Gaza Strip. Moreover, she has personally visited Gaza in early 2009.
Congresswoman Edwards has been a true friend of Palestinians and their quest for peace and justice.
She voted against H. Res. 867 calling on President Obama to "stop any further consideration" of the UN commsioned Goldstone Report documenting war crimes during Israel's invasion of Gaza in 2008/2009. In short, Congresswoman Edwards' record has been among the best in Congress, consistently pushing to end the Israeli occupation. In fact, she is ranked #2 on NewPolicy.org's Congressional Score Card.
There can be no doubt that the grass-roots forces that support Edwards– women and blacks — are more progressive than the Democratic establishment on Palestine. This is the wave that could upset the Democratic Party. Dina Smeltz of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs writes in the Washington Post that Bernie Sanders represents America in his shocking call for the U.S. to be evenhanded in its Israel/Palestine policy:
Sanders also said, "There comes a time when if we pursue justice and peace, we are going to have to say that Netanyahu is not right all of the time." This was in response to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's arguments for her more traditional political stance toward Israel. The Chicago Council Survey results show a majority of Democrats (54 percent), half of independents (49 percent) and a third of Republicans (34 percent) seem to agree, saying that Israel plays a negative role in resolving problems in the Middle East.
When folks talk about the tea party inside the Democratic party, it includes a lot of people who don't want the U.S. to model its behavior in the Middle East on Israel's.
Thanks to Janet McMahon of the Israel's influence conference and WRMEA.

A smaller Trimaran from your Big Multihull Designer
Picture a small trimaran that isn't only relatively fast, but also enables up to 4 sailors by sitting comfortably throughout their day cruise. If you've have a look at small trimarans you are aware that "comfortable seating" is oftentimes an overwhelming aspect to find in the sort of boat you would like.
Does this kind of boat exist? Thankfully, it does.
One particular sailboat that matches the ticket nicely is often a model called Discovery 20. This happens to become fast, wellbehaved small trimaran you could take virtually anyone outside (including kids who require security or older folks who would like to sit back within a cozy seat). Most sailors should be able to ride with this boat without the issues whatsoever. So it's wonder that simple riding was one of the goals for this boat's benefits. Apparently there weren't plenty of small trimarans designed much like the Discovery 20 back 1982. And while there are a few more like it today, the boat still retains its own uniqueness (and special value) available.
Some tips i especially like about the Discovery 20 is so i am over 40 I am aware it is a sailboat my partner would enjoy riding in with me. While sailing fast on the wet trampoline which has a buddy is generally a part of small trimaran sailing, the notion to stay fairly dry and having a fast ride with my girl (who doesn't like wet trampolines) carries a strong appeal today.
A yacht designer naturally will to be familiar with things. As well as the Discovery's creator did.
When a friend asked him to create a little sailboat that would function as a perfect day sailing craft the invention 20 was born. And the other pleasant surprise is the boat isn't expensive for build (to the doityourselfer). The price is extremely lacking in comparison to what most other small trimarans can cost and this consists of both commercial and selfbuilt models.
A quick scan of comments from current Discovery 20 owners from around the web leaves the sense that a majority of are happy with this small trimaran and extremely like it. So much in fact that you don't see many surface available for sale very often.
This boat is fast. And yes it handles well if it's under sail also. I have listed reasons why to present this sailboat a glance if you're thinking about acquiring a small trimaran in the future.
Even though many wouldbe small trimaran owners really do not need to develop a sailboat themselves, many spend on a building project to enable them to get yourself a boat they really want. In terms of I'm concerned, it becomes an oldfashioned "cando" American attitude Irrrve never tire of.
If you wish to read more to do with this specific boat then you'll definitely locate a little more online. However the Internet is just one place to start researching small trimarans..

I heard earlier on NPR that one of the guidelines given to organizations that are caring for children taken from the polygamous sect in Utah is that they should, as much as possible, remove the color red from the environment. In addition, caregivers shouldn't wear red clothes. Why? Because sect members associate the color with evil or Satan, and therefore the children might be frightened to see it in their surroundings.
As I listened, I looked at the walls of my kitchen / office alcove / dining area, which are — you guessed it — red. My gosh, I thought, those poor kids would be scared to death if they came in here.
I mentioned this to my daughter just now, when she got home from school, saying that the children would probably think they'd encounter Satan personally in this house with all the red walls. Maybe so, she said, "But you could tell them he only comes to visit on Wednesdays." 🙂

Did you know there are both laws and rules on the books about how you handle your pet in Dublin, in Muirfield, and therefore in Weybridge, too?
City of Dublin code specifically states dogs must be kept "under control" when off leash in public areas, or must otherwise be on a leash. They don't mention cats being on a leash because… you know… they're cats.
Similarly, you may have seen repeated email reminders from Muirfield Village that pet owners — especially folks walking their pets — are required to pick up after their pets when they do their business, if you know what we mean.
These rules and laws are in place to keep Weybridge (and Muirfield, and Dublin) clean and presentable, as well as safe for the pets, kids, and everyone else enjoying our common areas, walking trails, yards, and so forth.
So please: leash your cat — or dog — or keep them under control, but also be sure to clean up after them. Your neighbors will thank you!

"For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned". To whoever wrote this quote, thank you very much for the tip. But you know what would really be helpful? If you could also tell me how to actually be organized. No, really. It's easier said than done!
Of all the things that could make my life (a lot) easier, time management and organization are definitely on the top of my list. Because the truth is, I'm not good at neither.
And it's not like I don't try. Seriously, every morning I start my day with a plan, a list of things I want to get done and the best intention to accomplish all of them. Problem is, somewhere along the way, my plan magically disappears. It drives me crazy. And everyone around me too, for that matter.
So, I've decided, it's time to do something about it. And in case "someone" (and by someone I mean my sister) doesn't believe me, here's the proof: it's Monday; I have to leave the house by 7:45am; and breakfast is already waiting for me in the fridge. Yep, I actually thought about it and made it ahead of time. How's that for being organized, uh?
Well, at least it's a start. Baby steps J
Have a great Monday!

Extraordinary Earth Day
The Importance of Earth Day
April 27, 2016
Every April 22, an average of one billion people celebrate the largest secular observance of the calendar year: Earth Day. This celebration unites people of all cultures in a remarkable effort to impact the world we live in for the better.
Earth Day was first devised in 1970 by Wisconsin senator Gaylord Nelson after experiencing effects from the Vietnam War and the oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. It has since swelled to include international organizations and participation in every inhabited continent. The main objective is to promote awareness of the Earth's environmental issues while performing what is possible to remedy immediate problems.
The students and faculty at Bishop Guilfoyle join in the celebration of our Earth by providing "safaris" to local 2nd graders, educating individuals, actively recycling and composting, and devising methods to minimalize Bishop Guilfoyle's environmental footprint.
We only have one sustainable and naturally habitable Earth, and the preservation of such a suitable home often goes unnoticed. The activities held on April 22nd hopefully gave back to our earth which has given us so much.

Tips for Brides
Robert's top 3 three tips for brides on their wedding day:
1. Relax. At this point all your planning is done. Just sit back. Let your vendors and professionals take care of everything. Just relax.
2. Limit the number of people that are around you. Keep your immediate family, your bridesmaids and maid of honor. Keep them close. Keep other people at bay.
3. Most important, it's so cliché, but have fun. Enjoy yourself.
Jerry's top 3 three tips for brides on their wedding day:
1. Involve your fiancé. You are a couple. Let's get him involved too. A little bit. So get him involved. Enjoy it. Let him share some of the burden of it along the way.
2. Be mindful of everyone else that is going to be there. I am sure your Dad had been waiting a long time for this day. Include your Dad. Hear your Dad. Enjoy that first dance together with him.
3. Enjoy yourself. The best thing I heard was from a bride a couple of years ago. She just said, Jerry I put all my paperwork away. I threw everything out the night before the wedding. I put it in the hands of others. I said a prayer. Got a good night's sleep. I woke up and enjoyed it. It was the best thing I did. I had a great wedding because I relaxed.

Suddenly, Arkansas' game against Texas A&M, which the Razorbacks have dominated in recent years, becomes crucial in preventing a four-game slide as the Hogs try to turn the season around.
To make matters worse, Arkansas will be without tight end Chris Gragg and safety Eric Bennett, per coach John L. Smith.
Gragg's injury is a bone bruise he suffered last weekend against Rutgers and Bennett has been hampered with a hamstring injury. Gragg has been one of Tyler Wilson's favorite targets this season. He is second on the team with 19 receptions for 234 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Bennett ranks among the top 10 defenders with 19 tackles and two pass break-ups.
Arkansas needs all hands on deck at this point, and not just for availability, but for leadership as well.

The VA loan benefit is offered to all qualifying veterans who have met their time in service requirements and/or discharge requirements. Some military people use their VA home loan benefits as soon as they are eligible, while others wait until later in life to invest in a home.
Borrowers who buy early, pay off their VA mortgages and decide to purchase again later on may wonder if there's a time limit or even an age limit for VA home loan eligibility. Fortunately, VA home loan rules are clear on these subjects.
VA loan rules state that a borrower who has purchased and paid off a home with a VA insured mortgage can apply for another home loan--but the first requirement is that the borrower must apply for restored VA loan eligibility. This means showing proof that the original VA loan has been paid in full or otherwise satisfied.
To get your full entitlement restored, borrowers are required to sell the property before getting VA loan eligibility restored. But on a one-time basis the Department of Veterans Affairs does permit a new VA loan without requiring the borrower to sell the first property. In this specific case, though, you would need to have repaid the loan in full.
But you do not need to repay the loan in full to seek another VA loan. It's possible to have two or more VA loans at the same time. It is also possible to have a VA loan foreclosed upon and be able to use leftover VA loan entitlement for another VA-backed mortgage.
Talk with a lender in more detail if you are wanting to use a VA loan after a default or while having another outstanding VA loan. Using your remaining entitlement can come with some additional requirements, and some lenders understand how to do this better than others. Don't let a lender tell you that you cannot seek another VA loan if you already have one active or if you've defaulted on one in the past.
Borrowers should know there is no time limit or "maximum age" limit on VA loans. As long as a borrower is otherwise qualified, age and time do not play a part in the loan approval process, except where legal minimum age and mental competency are concerned. A borrower must be of legal age and considered competent to sign a binding contract in the state where that contract is to be enforced. But there is no expiration date with the VA home loan benefit.

It's far too easy for me, to stick to stocking stitch, or simple stuff, quick bang-for-buck, because I am very impatient and love projects that are made quickly. I need to force myself out of my comfort zone.
For example, I have the tricofit(?) thing for my Passap, which does intarsia, and I haven't tried it out yet. I've also not really tried out the transfer lock, because I'm a little afraid of bending needles on a machine where I don't know how to replace needles. I've also never really done much with the garter carriage or garter bar. I always had vague plans to make some kind of cute hoodie for my niece, using pile stitch (I envision fluffy pink hearts, she's 2 and very keen on pink at the moment).
So! that's gonna be my personal challenge for '09. I'll probably try and tackle one thing a month.
Anybody care to tag along?! :)"
Schedule so far:
I came up with this:
Jan: 2 colour slip stitch
Feb: DB jaquard
Mar: garter bar
Apr: pile stitch
May: garter carriage
Jun: passap linker
Jul: passap intarsia
Sep: pc10 punchcard maker
Nov: passap transfer
Starting easy, and working on up! :) I still fancy making a circular yoked sweater, and that circular cardigan from Knitwords (Circle of Life, I think), so that might go in somewhere.
Last night I was struggling to focus on anything too complicated. I made some slipstitch samples (see below). I have mislaid my instructions for the colour changer (if there ever were any), and to start with I kept starting the pattern on the RHS, which get you nothing but 2 row, slightly wiggly lines. Once I remembered to start on the LEFT, all was well!
Maze slipstitch 1 - love this one, kinda Aztec
Maze slipstitch 2 - eye-boggle alert!
Grapevine slipstitch - found this amongst the cards, cool huh?!
Passap slipstitch (single bed). The top half looked a bit smoother before I stretched it (it's some kind of 2ply/3ply cotton).
Yup, another Passap pattern that's been programmed black-for-white. I should probably go through and try all the patterns, and figure out which ones are back to front. So far it seems to affect slipstitch techniques. Mental note - if the tension's too tight on a Passap, stitches will be skipped (rather hard to spot if it's already a slip-stitch pattern). Try not to jam the locks - they are a LOT harder to unjam than Japanese machines!!
I see a toddler's jumper in Maze 1, with a cut and sew neckline, coming soon. A slash neck is too easy!

My objective when I proposed the Garment a Month KAL was to get people knitting on their machines. Whatever people want that is fine as long as they get something! I am one to let the machines sit idle for long periods at a time. Comfort might be a better description. I too want to explore different techniques, for now I want to use the machines :) Looking forward to your challenges!

International evening "Meet the world": Iceland 31.01.2012
The first Meet The World edition of 2012 introduced us to the way of life and culture of mystical Iceland.
We were accompaniedon this night by two charming guests – Þorkell Gíslason, an Icelander who now has been living in Estonia for two years, and has started a fish import company here and Mihkel Järveoja who went to Iceland in the summer of 2009 to study geology there as an exchange student for a year.
Together with the performers we learned about many things Estonians and Icelanders have in common – from both countries having a sauna culture (Iceland's equivalent to the Estonian sauna is the hot pots) to the traditional dish "jellied meat"- we found that the similarities were as great as the differences. Mihkel showed and told us a lot about the beautiful landscape of Iceland, and Þorkell provided us with a wonderful insight to our many questions about Icelandic way of life and culture.
Find more details on the event on our blog.
You can find Mihkel Järveoja's slide show here.
The event was supported by the Student Council of the University of Tartu.

Refoaming the AR-3a speaker
AR-3a Speaker Review and Specs
|Acoustic Research AR-3a
AR-3a Quote from 1970A quote from the original Acoustic Research owner´s manual: The Ar-3a is the best home speaker system we know how to make. It has been designed to reproduce music as accurately as present day knowledge of acoustics and electronics permits. In addition to incorporating the 305mm (12in) bass driver with which AR introduced its acoustic suspension systems to home listeners, the AR-3a was the first speaker system to use two miniature hemispherical speakers developed by AR to give better midrange and high-frequency response. The new miniature speakers offer an unprecedented degree of accuracy in their respective ranges.

Moremi Game Reserve: interactive map
This physical map of the Moremi Game Reserve – shows the rivers, islands, roads and settlements and adjacent private reserves. Click on the safari camps in the map for detailed camp descriptions, slide-shows and travellers' reviews.
Points of interest on our map of the Moremi Game ReserveWe've drawn this map using original sources and our knowledge to highlight aspects of interest in Botswana's Moremi area:
Moremi Game ReserveThe proclamation of this reserve in 1962 was an example of a forward-thinking government. It was extended to include Chiefs Island in 1970 and so saved the area from the depletion of game and the encroachment of cattle. The area consists of a network of rivers and palm islands contrasting with the drier 'Mopane Tongue' in the south. Moremi protects a fantastic diversity of flora, game and birdlife.
Mopane TongueThere is a triangle of mopane forest lined with riverine edges which forms the south-eastern corner of Moremi Game Reserve. This area of the park is open to self-drive visitors and is where the park's public campsites can be found. On this map it's roughly bounded by South Gate, Khwai Tented Camp and Third Bridge.
Chief's IslandOriginally the hunting grounds of Chief Moremi, Chief's Island was incorporated into Moremi Game Reserve in 1970. It is the largest island in the delta and is considered to be part of the same panhandle fault lines being pushed up in the formative warping of the area. Chiefs Island now hosts just two premier safari camps – Mombo Camp and Chiefs Camp and affords some of the best game viewing in the delta.
Adjacent Private ConcessionsThe grey spiders-web of lines on this map divide northern Botswana into a series of private concessions, or reserves. The all have names, written in grey, like NG20, NG21, NG22 .. etc The concessions are awarded to safari operators by the land board for a defined period of time and include strict regulations with regards to the management of the areas.

Obese adolescents who do not get adequate sleep may be at a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke, a new study has warned.
Lack of sleep and obesity have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in adults and young children.
However, the association is not as clear in adolescents, an age group that is known to lack adequate sleep.
In a new study, researchers found that cardiometabolic risk in obese adolescents may be predicted by typical sleep patterns.
Heidi B IglayReger and colleagues from the University of Michigan and Baylor University studied 37 obese adolescents (11-17 years of age).
Metabolic syndrome characteristics (fasting cholesterol and blood sugar, waist circumference, body mass index [BMI], and blood pressure) were measured to create a continuous cardiometabolic risk score.
The adolescents were fitted with a physical activity monitor, which was worn 24 hours a day for seven days, to measure typical patterns of physical activity and sleep.
One-third of the participants met the minimum recommendation of being physically active at least 60 minutes a day.
Most participants slept approximately seven hours each night, usually waking up at least once. Only five of the participants met the minimal recommended 8.5 hours of sleep per night.
Even after controlling for factors that may impact cardiometabolic risk, like BMI and physical activity, low levels of sleep remained a significant predictor of cardiometabolic risk in obese teens.
This shows that even among those already considered to be at risk for cardiometabolic disease, in this case obese teens' decreased sleep duration was predictive of increased cardiometabolic risk, researchers said.
The study cannot determine whether lack of sleep causes cardiometabolic disease or if obesity itself causes sleep disturbances, they said.
"The strong association between sleep duration and cardiometabolic risk score independent of the effects of body composition and physical activity suggest a potential influence of sleep duration on cardiometabolic health in obese adolescents," said IglayReger.
The study appears in The Journal of Pediatrics.

I was pointed to Open Source Living by my friend Thomas the other day, and am really excited to see this site.
There are a number of software collection sites out there. For people that use Windows, I would usually suggest FileHippo. They have an easy-to-use interface, they actually look through the software they offer/relay, and they even offer a "Freeware Filter". Though, this filer only narrows down to software that is free like free beer, not free as in the First Amendment.
Then there is SourceForge which is an amazing resource of open-source projects. Unfortunately, there are many thousands of projects here that range from Java date libraries to full-scale web applications. It has little focus on the type of software that is offered. Still, SourceForge is an important and critical resource for independent developers worldwide.
OSLiving puts these two things together. OSLiving is a great resource to find open-source software for any platform. What makes it stand out from the millions of other software collection sites, is that OSLiving has only open-source resources, focuses on production-level applications, and has a simple, intuitive interface.
OSLiving also realizes that choosing software is much more than whether it costs money or not. They realize when you are choosing software, like when you are choosing your food, you are supporting a much bigger system, be it open or closed source, organic or non-organic, local or global, non-profit or corporate. Open source is more than just software, and it is important to make decisions that are sustainable for society, not just our wallets.
On a similar note, there is much debate between Free Software and Open Source Software. Though I lean towards the ideals behind the free software movement, I think that the term "open source" is more powerful.

I have a 2006 Macbook 13″ with 1GB of RAM. When I try to install Snow Leopard on it, it says "This OS X cannot be installed on this computer." Why not?
I have a 2006 Macbook 13″ with 1GB of RAM. When I try to install Snow Leopard on it, it says "This OS X cannot be installed on this computer." Why not?
Your macbook is too old to support Snow Leopard. If you really want to upgrade to Snow Leopard or above, consider buying a new computer
If you have a power PC chip then you are going to need to get a new computer. Snow Leopard only supports the i series of Intel chips which come standard on all Mac's now.
It means your MacBook doesn't support the Snow Leopard, and Snow Leopard supports the MacBooks since the end of 2007, but there's a way to hack the SL on your Macbook - you can make Hackintosh on your Macs. It's true, Hackintosh isn't exclusive to the PCs, it works on any Mac. My Macbook 2008 doesn't support the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and I made Hackintosh 10.8 on it and it worked for me. But I own a Mac mini 2011.
If you will be frustrated to install SL or Hackintosh on your MacBook, I suggest you replace for the end 2008 or 2009 or 2010 Macbook. Their prices have already decreased quickly since the upgrade of MacBooks 2012.
Snow Leapard only runs on 64bit architecture I _believe_ (if memory serves)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3696 How to tell if your Mac is 32 or 64 bit.
You should have no problem (I have approx. same specs), but we need more info. How are you trying to install SL? Can you boot from the CD? etc.
check out these links , may help u out !
Which media are you using to install Snow Leopard?
If it's a Installation DVD from another device it won't work as those DVDs are locked to the model they shipped with.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Snow Leopard does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), all eMacs, plus pre-February 2006 Mac minis and the Power Mac G4 Cube), although PowerPC applications are supported via Rosetta, which is now an optional install.
Some ways of running Mac OS X Snow Leopard on certain unsupported hardware have been discovered. Users who have access to supported hardware have installed Snow Leopard on the supported machine then simply moved the hard drive to the unsupported machine. Alternatively, the Snow Leopard Installation DVD can be booted on a supported Mac, then installed on an unsupported Mac via the Firewire Target Disk Mode.

The two-slice portion on this summer pie is nice and hearty: For a lighter lunch or brunch for eight people, serve one slice with a simple spinach salad. For extra flavor, try tossing 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme into the crust.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 350°.
Place quinoa on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until golden brown; cool. Place half of quinoa in a food processor; pulse 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl. Add remaining toasted quinoa, almond meal, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Add 1 tablespoon oil and egg; stir until mixture is crumbly but holds together when pressed. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes.
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add leeks; sauté 3 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Combine leek mixture, tomatoes, thyme, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add egg whites, stirring to combine.
Arrange tomato mixture in crust; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until filling is set. Let stand 10 minutes; cut into 8 wedges.

I clear my browsing data (cookies, history) from time to time to start fresh and I noticed today that if I had 1PX unlocked, then went and cleared all my browsing data, 1Password remained unlocked with access to my logins even after cookies and data were deleted. I then went to my.1password.com and was prompted to login fresh. This put me off since 1PX was still functioning as normal despite not being logged into the online client.
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: 1.14.3
OS Version: 10.14.3
Sync Type: 1Password
Hi @jadchaar,
As an extension 1Password X isn't storing cookies, Chrome stores data for us in its own encrypted database and that data is separate from anything related to any specific page. To purge 1Password X completely you would need to remove and reinstall the extension as Chrome deletes any extension related data when you do so.
If all you wish to do is lock 1Password X then from the toolbar button menu click the cog icon and small menu will appear where one of the options will be Lock.
Does that help at all?
Ah ok, I just thought that 1PX worked by being connected to my 1Password account that I am logged into on the web, that's why I brought this up. Not sure if it is really an issue though.
Hi @jadchaar,
If you thought everything was linked via the cookies I can see how clearing them would upset a person if there was none of the expected effect on the extension. I hope the explanation as to what is happening helped and if you have any other questions I will certain do my best to answer them.

Whitwell collects $6,500 at Carl Trimmer Classic
TUCSON, Ariz. (Nov. 25) — Hometown driver R.C. Whitwell led all 74 laps of Sunday's Carl Trimmer Classic at Tucson International Raceway for his richest victory of the season.
Whitwell collected $5,000 from the race purse of Tucson's three-day weekend along with a $1,500 bonus posted by an anonymous sponsor. | Slideshow
Whitwell took the checkers ahead of Lonnie Parker Jr. of El Mirage, Ariz., and pole-starting Don Shaw of Ham Lake, Minn., who both picked up $1,200 preliminary victories in Friday and Saturday's action at the 3/8-mile oval.

When Daryl & Rachel met at 17, they probably didn't realise they'd fly from their home in Singapore to elope in Perth's Swan Valley out the back of the gorgeous Olive Farm Wines. They also perhaps didn't count on ALL their gorgeous friends and family flying over to join them for one giant love-fest. Eloping doesn't always have to be a quiet affair, Rachel & Daryl's day had the best of both worlds. Intimate, but surrounded with palpable love that had everyone completely caught up in their story. Both families were openly emotional ALL day, such a raw, true display of affection and joy. Rachel's brothers provided the music during the ceremony, and played a special set before the dance-floor opened. It was an absolute honour to be there to capture these moments for them.
Rachel wore a stunning Rachel Gilbert dress, but that didn't stop her from ditching the heels in favour of some trainers, so we could scale down a giant hill for the portraits (LEGENDS). Special mention goes out to her bridesmaid, who did the hike in heels! The Pretty Parlour provided the glam, Rose & Bud nailed the blooms as always and Styled Notion kept the guests nourished with a gorgeous grazing table, while we traipsed off for photographs in Perth's fading light. Heyder and Shears killed it with the foods under the magic of the always stunning TP & Co Tipi! Hire Society & Grand Scene Events supplied all their gorgeous furniture, and the dancefloor provided by Oak & Barrel Events saw some seeeeerious action from all the guests, young and old.
I wish I could articulate fully just how magical this day was. The tenderness and consideration Rachel & Daryl showed each other, and their loved ones, is testament to their families and the way they've chosen to move through the world. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you guys. Here's a few little words from the newlyweds themselves.
We love that our wedding wasn't a day about us – but a celebration of God and the people in our lives who have made us who we are. Their love is what truly made it unforgettable and so so special.
It wasn't just how you captured everything so organically and real, but the mood and ease you put us at as you went about the day. We felt like you were part of the celebration the whole time! Some people are good at what they do, and then there are others who are meant to do what they do – and to us, that's exactly you.
All our love,
Rachel + Daryl

SKII Airtouch Foundation
Tester: Hispanic (Cuban) about Rosario Dawson's complexion with combination skin.
"The SKII Airtouch foundation is a product that will require that you learn new "rules" of foundation application – but once you've gotten the hang of it like I did -- you might never want to use another foundation again.
The foundation is actually battery powered (included) and will require that you read all the enclosed instructions very carefully so you learn how to begin the spray nozzle flow and the technique for spraying on the face. However, once I grasped it (does not take long!) I found the results were truly fantastic.
I can now see that the luxury price tag of this product is not just for the makeup but for the delivery system, which delivers flawlessness. Yes, I said it! The sprayer is like no other if you think you've tried spray on makeup before. The spray was so fine I could not feel even it. And better yet, nothing got on my hair or sink as the product only adheres to the skin!
The first time I used this, I ended up spraying the device several times because I thought it wasn't working--nothing seemed to be coming out. But then I realized that my face was indeed a little damp so I stopped. My face looked just like I moisturized, but with no pores, no uneven coloring, and my light under eye circles completely erased!
My face looked just like I always dreamed it could look. And the makeup was weightless! It was covered but felt like nothing was on my skin (this really is a miracle). I am in awe of this product.
As recommended by SKII, I applied my eye shadow and blush FIRST, and then the foundation straight on to my moisturized skin and THEN added mascara and lipstick afterwards (A little topsy-turvy I know). I also applied concealer before the air touch. I sprayed the Airtouch (held 4 inches from my face) and it set fairly quickly. By the way, I found applying blush and eye shadow beforehand to make things quicker and there does was no problem with blush or eye makeup being masked too much, if at all.
The final verdict? This is SO EASY....anyone can apply perfect makeup, with total ease. It was so nice not to need my hands or foundation brushes. This kept my skin free of all those bacteria and oils that can sometimes cause me to have a little break out. The coverage is also buildable so I really applied what I felt like I needed day to day. I am going to two months of everyday use and the tiny pouch still seems mostly full. This can very easily last about 8-9 months which makes the price seem very reasonable.
The container itself is a little on the heavy side to carry round in a bag, but so convenient for re-applying if I was having a long day at work or out all day. On most days however, I found that I didn't even need another touch up because it wore so well throughout the day.
If you too have been chasing an amazing perfection and would like flawless glowy coverage with a weightless feel then this is the product for you!" T.R.
Editors Note: BR6 is the darkest shade so we hope that SKII will expand their color range to include darker tones since this is such an amazing product!
