Frozen custard is kind of a Gelato/Ice Cream hybrid. It combines the density and egg yolks of gelato with with the balance of more heavy cream than milk of ice cream. Thus maximizing the fat content and density of the two. In the US, by law frozen custard has to contain at least 10% milkfat like ice cream plus at least 1.4% egg yolk solids. Commercial frozen custard machines churn in a way so as not to add air to the mixture; this is very similar to gelato. Lastly frozen custard is often served at a lower temperature so that it is softer than ice cream. This is also similar to the way gelato is served in Italy.
For the purpose of this website 'Im going to define frozen custard as ice cream that has a roughly a proportion of 2 cups of cream for every one cup of milk and at least 5 eggs per quart. Additionally it should be served soft right from the machine.
Here is a basic recipe based on one from the American Egg Board that I found on food.com
- 5 eggs
- 1 cups milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- In medium saucepan, beat together eggs, milk, sugar, honey and salt.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat metal spoon and reaches at least 160 degrees.
- Cool quickly by setting pan in ice or cold water and stirring for few minutes.
- Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
- When ready to freeze, pour chilled custard, whipping cream and vanilla into your ice cream maker. If your machine is so equiped, use the gelato paddle and speed setting.
- Transfer to freezer containers and freeze to desired firmness.

Green as an alligator
the Wilson River
chomps whatever stands
in its swollen path.
Trees bow down,
a kind of surrender,
in the wake of
these mighty jaws.
Kayaks bob along
from scaly bump
to scaly bump.
Bridges quake
at the thwack of its tail,
waters rushing at
their abutments.
This is no placid swamp,
no stagnant pond.
No, this green monster
thrashes headlong
creating its own purpose,
mashing whatever
appears in its path,
emptying its gullet
into the sea.

I'm home from work, drinking a glass of red wine, and watching Fight Club on T.V. thinking about how neglected my blog has been this week. The cooking has been done (so has the eating) and the picture have been taken, but I have yet to share the deliciousness that is Chicken Curry (how?!). Unfortunately, my dog has other plans for me, so with an arsenal of toys to throw across the room every time he gets particularly demanding of my attention, I prepare to write about one of my specialties. I think I can call it that… It's kind of my own recipe. I mean I learned the concept somewhere along the line, but this is how I make it and it's one of those things I've perfected over time.
It starts out with one medium onion, 2 shallots all chopped up – it's about a cup – and 2 cloves of garlic (which I leave whole so that I can remove them later, but then again I do this with every recipe because I really don't like eating garlic even though I like the taste it adds to food). Anyway, back to curry: I add this to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. I start to cook this slowly while I wash, dry and cut one pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into one-inch cubes. Once the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes, add the chicken, a teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of curry powder. Curry powder on its own isn't really very spicy, so I also add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper – add more or less depending on your preferences.
Stir this mixture every minute or so until the chicken is almost fully cooked, about 5 more minutes. Then add a whole can of unsweetened coconut milk, one cup of chicken broth, and 3/4 cup of roasted, unsalted cashews. Unsalted is best so that it doesn't make your curry too salty, since you can't really control the amount of salt on the cashews. Bring this mixture to a simmer and keep it on low heat simmering, uncovered for about 20 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit.
This is how it looks when it's done. Take it off the heat and in a small saucepan boil one cup of chicken broth and 1/4 cup of rasins. When it comes to a boil take it off the heat, add one cup of cous cous, stir and cover immediately. In about 10 minutes, take the cover off and fluff the cous cous with a fork.
Serve one cup of cooked cous cous into a shallow bowl and spoon the Chicken Curry over it. This recipe makes 4 servings and curry is twice as good the next day…just sayin'.
Here's an ingredient list:
- one medium onion, finely chopped
- two shallots, finely chopped
- two cloves of garlic
- one pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into one-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- one teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- one can of unsweetned coconut milk
- one cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup unsalted, roasted cashews
Cous Cous:
- one cup cous cous
- one cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup rasins

Albert Pujols may be having a monster season, but in the world of baseball cards and sports memorabilia, he's no Mickey Mantle.
It's been more than 40 years since he put on a player's uniform for the last time, but Mickey Mantle's hold on sports collectors is still stronger than virtually any other post-War star. Even today's top big leaguers can't compete with the interest and bidding generated by Mickey Mantle baseball cards and memorabilia.
Statistics obtained by Sports Collectors Daily show that over the last 90 days on eBay, over 49,000 Mantle items were listed for sale or auction with a total sales figure of over $2.3 million.
While Albert Pujols has generated a strong buzz among collectors focusing on current players and those who sense he is carving out a place in baseball history, even Pujols' best rookie cards and rare 1-of-1 inserts can't compare to vintage Mantle cards.
From April 20 through July 20, there were 31,202 Pujols items listed within the sports card and memorabilia categories on eBay with total sales of $71,345; about one-third the sales volume generated by Mantle.
Prices for Mantle memorabilia haven't skyrocketed during the current economic slowdown, but the volume and interest are still impressive. 129,123 total bids were made on Mantle items during the recent 90-day stretch with winning bidders paying an average of $90.26 per item–impressive considering the sheer amount of common items from recent years that have been issued.
The most expensive item recorded by eBay was the sale of a 1952 Topps Mantle card, graded SGC 86 (NM+) which sold for $50,000 according to eBay's database.
Collectors made 70,674 bids for Pujols pieces during the same time frame with the average winning bid at $41.33. The most expensive Pujols item sold was a 2001 Refractor Autograph 223/500 rookie card that brought $6100.

Last year about this time I painted Yellow Wall #1. I really enjoyed painting it, and had in mind making a larger version someday. This year since I will be showing paintings done along the Cynwyd Trail in January and this was painted from the trail looking into Manyunk, I thought it would be a good time to make a larger painting. I decided to change the scale and really go for the yellow wall. Since I sold the first painting, I painted this one from the image of it on my ipad.
I didn't enjoy painting this one nearly as much as I did the first one. I have never painted from a painting before and I found the experience rather odd. I still enjoyed looking at the first painting and at times was amazed at how nicely I had solved some of its little challenges, but this time perhaps because of the scale changes and the color changes I was at sea most of the time. Knowing approximately what the whole work would look like in the end took some of the joy out of working and I don't think I will repeat this kind of exercise again.
In spite of that the new painting has an integrity of its own, I think, but for me at least an entirely different spirit. It is much more lively and fun loving (belying its makers feelings) while the first painting has that mellow look of late day that I love so much.
What do you think?

Cape Town – The hastily organised, shambolic and badly attended Thank You SABC concert that took place on Saturday turned into a monumental flop and a big embarrassment for the SABC.
Despite promises of free T-shirts and gifts to those who attend the concert at the Orlando Stadium, the self-named Thank You SABC Music Concert was an embarrassing bust for the beleaguered public broadcaster.
Arranged to thank the SABC for boss Hlaudi Motsoeneng's diktat of 90% needletime to local music, it was slammed by political parties, commentators and artists, while on social media people were having a field day at the SABC's expense.
Saturday's Thank You SABC Music Concert that was promised to "fill up the stadium and fill up the stomachs of the artists" started hours late with no explanation and quickly went from very bad to worse, taking the SABC's image with it.
While the Orlando Stadium seats 40 000 people, barely 1 000 people showed up.
With an abandoned line-up, some invited artists like Jack Parow were not even able to make it to the stage, waited hours and left and several promised headline artists completely ditched the event that had shockingly low attendance.
Industry insiders expressed shock in the week when the SABC suddenly announced the Thank You SABC Concert on Tuesday – a massive event that usually takes months of preparation and planning.
The Thank You SABC Concert organised by Mzwake Mbuli was supposed to have 100 South African musicians "from all genres" performing at Orlando Stadium – but it was anything but. Not only were there not 100 artists, the music was definitely not from all genres.
In the week artists slammed the SABC and organisers on SABC television during a live broadcast, saying "the doors are closed to us" at the SABC and wanting to know why young artists are allegedly not given exposure at the Thank You SABC Concert.
'The entire SABC is here'
Starting more than two and a half hours late, artists like the Soweto String Quartet on Saturday afternoon performed at the Thank You SABC Concert to a virtually empty Orlando Stadium normally seating 40 000 people.
Even the SABC Choir promised on the programme line-up was a total no-show.
Meanwhile the SABC's SABC News division reporting on the event, kept to close-up angles and cropped shots on Saturday afternoon, trying to make the empty stadium look full while in reality there was no crowd.
That didn't stop some stragglers from telling the SABC during a live interview on SABC News (DStv 404) that the concert is badly organised and that the artists and organisers "have a problem with time-management".
In an embarrassing interview in the almost empty stadium, the SABC executive Bessie Tugwana, who was recently moved to head of the SABC's corporate affairs division, said "today the whole country is standing still, paying tribute to SABC".
"We are humbled by the gratitude and the entire SABC is here to witness this groundbreaking gratitude."
Later Mbuli as the organiser was interviewed. "Look, young and old are here," he said.
'Are you there?'
In the week Mzwake Mbuli said the concert is going to break records – so much so that it should be entered as a Guiness World Record.
"What we are doing must go to the Guinness Book of Records," said Mbuli.
On Saturday night Motsoeneng as the SABC's chief operating officer (COO), the minister of communications Faith Muthambi, and the SABC chairperson Obert Maguvhe were among those who attended a part of the event and appeared on stage.
From the stage Maguvhe bellowed: "Are you there? Are you there?"
Later Maguvhe said: "We want to give an assurance to you that local content is here to stay. We want to ensure that talent is unearthed, talent is developed, talent is promoted and talent is nurtured."
'No-one knew what was going on'
By 14:02 on Saturday – although the concert was billed to start at 10:00 – the SABC reported using future tense that "people are trickling into the Orlando stadium in Soweto where the much-anticipated SABC Thank You music concert will take place".
"The SABC's vainly self-named Thank You SABC Concert aimed at thanking itself is a massive flop and a waste of public money. It demands investigating. We demand an investigation into the SABC's wasteful, 95% empty Thank You SABC Concert. Those responsible should pay back the money," said the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP).

North Iceland's Skjaldarvik Guesthouse
One of the many cool things about #Iceland is that they have their own breed of horse. These horses are smaller and fluffier and are painfully cute. At the Skjaldarvik Guesthouse in North Iceland, you can indulge in #relaxation, some delicious, fresh food, and #nature - since you'll be side by side with the adorable Icelandic horses during your stay.
Skjaldarvik Guesthouse hasn't been around for long. Located on a grassy farmland area a 20 or so minute drive outside North Iceland's largest city Akureyri, it was once an elderly care home which has been converted to a guesthouse by a local family.
Holuhraun Volcanic Eruption Tour
Snowmobile Winter Tour in Akureyri
They now have 27 rooms, however given what the facilities once were, none have their own private bathroom. There are two floors and each one has two bathrooms which everyone shares, located in the middle of the hallway.
This place has all kinds of magic trickling through it and the rooms are the last reason why you should go. Like most hotels outside of the main two cities in the country, the rooms are fairly basic and there are no five star resorts and hotels for the taking. When you head to Iceland, bear this in mind and know that you're going for its magic, which lies in the nature and yes, the food. Below is an appetizer that the guest house served for dinner one night, something I was going to pass up, assured once again that food from a hotel or guest house would have to be mediocre at best. Wrong!
Note how fresh the dishes look – no chemicals or preservatives added. They serve dinners every night and it's a price fixe at 4,500 k (120 to the $ at the time of writing this). BTW, while you might think that the lamb below might be the "magic" of the dish (and frankly, it is), the yoghurt concoction that someone in the kitchen prepared had me at hello. I asked for two more cups of the stuff and used it on my salad as well. So fresh!
If you want something a little lighter and healthier but are dying to try some of that fabulous cheese, give the parma ham a try, served with diced apples and greens. BTW, considering how many sheep there are in Iceland, it was surprising to me that all the cheese on offer throughout the country was cow's cheese, not sheep's cheese. I found myself thinking that they're missing a major opportunity again and again – sheep cheese is to die for in this humble girl's opinion.
They called this the "secret soup," which was also plastered on the chalk board as you enter the restaurant. They won't reveal what is in it as I first guessed cauliflower but then quickly realized that leeks was its primary ingredient. They confirmed this to be true but they wouldn't go further to say what other magic lies in the recipe. It was to die-for, so if they offer it while you're there, definitely order a cup.
The below restaurant is used for both breakfast and dinner and below it are shots of their rooms. Like I said, the facilities are basic however the magic lies in the experience of the place –the whole place! Keep reading.
The rooms either have single or double beds. Singles are 9,900 and doubles are 13,900 at the time of writing this (120 to the U.S. $) although be sure to check out their price list for the latest rates as they will vary depending on whether you're there during peak or off-season.
Now for the real magic? Imagine a place that looks onto what you envision heaven to be like if you've ever envisioned such a place. Their farmland grounds are certainly close to what mine would look like. It looks so idyllic you almost can't imagine it's real, and while you might think the magic is in the view, its in the 'soul' of the place that I can't even begin to describe here. Icelandic horses lie in the background, the fields are scattered with yellow flowers and Alaskan lupe and birds fly overhead so close to you that a conversation is possible if you only pause long enough to hear them speak.
Then imagine after dinner, you can sit in a natural hot tub overlooking this insanely beautiful view with (hopefully) your cell phone tucked away in your room far, far away. As for the last part of the magic? Like every truly memorable experience when we travel, isn't it always about the people?
Skjaldarvik is run by a magical family who make you feel as if you're part of their own. Óli, Dísa and their three girls Klara, Katrín and Sunneva invite you into their parlor with warmth and grace.

Revelation chapter one ends with John being instructed to write down Seven Letters to Seven Churches in Asia Minor. These letters are lovingly dictated to John by Jesus Himself.
There has been much scholarly debate about these Seven Letters and the congregations they are addressed to. Some have postulated that each of these letters represent a historical chapter in the church's journey. But this is problematic: If we knew the end of the world would be soon, then we'd be the Seventh Church, but if it is another thousand years before Jesus returns, then which church are we? I think there is a better explanation...
The Seven Letters were written to seven real congregations in seven real geographical contexts in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey) and they all existed at the time that John wrote to them. The number seven is symbolic of completeness and I think it is best to say that at any time in history there are congregations that are loveless, persecuted, tempted to compromise, overwhelmed, depleted, courageously faithful or lukewarm. (Or some combination of these!)
These letters represent God's heart toward the churches and there is a phrase repeated in all the letters: "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
As we noted earlier, Jesus stands among the Lampstands, He is passionate about the church. His plan is to be at work in the Church. John had been at the first church, Ephesus, for many years. These Seven Churches would have been familiar to him. As he writes, he experiences God's care, concern and priority for these congregations, and we are once again reminded that God cares about the local church.
So, if God cares about the local church, so should we.
I found this great quote recently:
If you donâ™t cross over from "What-can-I-get?" to "What-I-can-give?", your church will become increasingly unsatisfactory to you. (James MacDonald)

Tracking License Plates
Scanner technology gathers huge database
| 7/24/2013, 11:40 a.m.
Portland Police are responding to an American Civil Liberties Union investigation on the use of high-tech police license plate scanners to record and monitor the movement of motor vehicles from across the city.
Unlike the old method of getting behind a car and manually examining a vehicle's plates, the more familiar practice, this new technology automatically and electronically scans the license plate numbers of automobiles to the left, right, and ahead of the patrol car using it.
Though the scanners have has been used on Rose City streets since 2008, Portland police have made the use of the scanners public information for the first time.
At a demonstration event last Wednesday, police displayed the technology and said they have increased the number of squad cars with the scanners from one to 16.
Police credit the scanners with giving them valuable tools in retrieving stolen vehicles quicker, and said they provide tremendous aid in outside investigations as well.
"In the last three months alone we have captured 70 vehicles that were wanted in connection with some type of crime, and that could include anything from a hit and run, to a robbery suspect, to even recently a rape suspect," said officer Garrett Dow.
Comparative to the manual method of running plates, the scanners allow officers to log significantly increase surveillance.
"You don't have to come to a stop to read a plate. The license plate reader is passive, so as the officer is driving down the road, with his hands on the wheel and looking out into traffic, the license plate reader is working," Dow said.
He estimates that the average officer logs around 100 plates a day, while the 16 scanner-equipped squad cars register the plates of upwards of 8,000 vehicles a day. They plan to continue expanding the number of squad cars with the technology.
Police said the license plate recordings are not shared with outside departments unless another bureau has reasonable suspicion that a specific car is linked to an ongoing criminal investigation. Portland has logged more than three million license plates through the system, more than Portland-Metro area's number of registered motor vehicles combined.
The constantly updated database immediately alerts officers if a scanned plate might be connected with a crime. The data is retained for four years.
The ACLU says the scanners are a "single, high-resolution image of our lives."
"There's just a fundamental question of whether we're going to live in a society where these dragnet surveillance systems become routine," said Catherine Crump, a staff attorney with the organization. The group is proposing that police departments immediately delete any records of cars not linked to any crime.

Stirring and complex pieces of David de la Mano could be found in his native Spain, but also all across the world in countries throughout Europe, North and South America, and beyond. Having an easily recognizable aesthetics, his murals are hard to miss. He has developed a highly unique minimalist style characterized by the monochromatic use of black. Exploring every corner of social behavior, he translates it into intricate and poetic murals and canvases. Employing it as a narrative metaphor, he depicts anthropomorphic silhouettes of individuals and masses. As a symbolic reflection of the humankind and the human perception of the world, these characters gather together and unite in an eternal and recurring movement. Individuals become the mass driven by their dreams, ambitions, fears, vices, hopes, internal conflicts.
As his first solo show in Italy, David de la Mano will present a new series of exclusive works created in his recognizable black and white, minimalist aesthetics at Wunderkammern Milan. Titled Latitude, the concept of the exhibition is inspired by the writings of Gilles Deleuze. The exhibition proposes a reflection on the concept of latitude, regarded not only as a geographical term, but also as a situation of the body as defined by the French philosopher. Deleuze defines latitude as the state of the body's force to exist, its power "to affect and be affected". Following this concept, David de la Mano treats the latitude as an indeterminate point between origin and destination, between action and passive enduring.
To find out more about this new body of work and his practice in general, we sat down with David de la Mano for an exclusive interview. We had a chat about the concept of the upcoming show, the idea of motion as a recurring theme, man's relationship with nature, his collaborations, artistic process, and much more.
Widewalls: Your latest body of work will be on view at Wunderkammern Milan. Can you tell us more about the concept of the exhibition?
David de la Mano: Latitude is a convention, like other things in our lives: languages, borders, religions, etc. In the show, I am talking about the places where we could go if we don't think in the same way as the past generations. I also paint a reflection of different borders and limits of our ways through the visual metaphors that could explain these better.
Widewalls: You use monochromatic anthropomorphic figures, both individuals and masses, as a narrative metaphor. How do you reflect the human condition and the humankind through this imagery?
DDLM: I am trying to see what it's happening in the world. I read the news about the important things that we live now, but I also look to the past history of humanity - the history of art and all the civilisations - to understand what it's happening now. This is very important for me and I suppose that finally, I don't know how, this also goes into my work. The "men" that I paint are the people that I see and the people that I imagine in my view of the world. I don't try to reflect the human condition, this is very difficult, I only try to see inside myself.
Widewalls: The idea of motion is a recurring theme in your work. What kind of narrative are you looking to convey through this?
DDLM: The motion is present in our life today. My grandfather never saw the sea, he didn't move... For old generations the movement was very complicated. The world now changes and it goes so fast. I don't know if this is the best for the people but it's sure that a lot of people are losing themselves in this movement!
Widewalls: Man's relationship with nature is an important part of your practice. In a time when this relationship is becoming more uneasy, what issues are you concerned the most with?
DDLM: I'm positive and I think that with the passing of the years, more people believe in the respect of nature. We must try to do these small possible changes in our lives now. Obviously, if our politics does not change, this will be impossible.
Widewalls: You have collaborated with the artist Pablo S. Herrero on many murals as part of your ongoing project Movimiento Señora. Can you tell us something about this project and the creative exchange between you two?
DDLM: Yes, I studied with Pablo at the university a lot of years ago. We started to paint together in our city, in Salamanca. Not a lot a time of later, we have created the project: Movimiento Señora. It is like a philosophy of work where we choose to paint peripheral and/or marginals walls. Also, we talked with other artists that were working in these spaces and later on we painted with some of them. Pablo and me live in different countries now, but we try to paint some walls together when we see each other.
Widewalls: Your visual identity is consistent in both your street works and ones created in the studio. Can you tell us something about your artistic process?
DDLM: I always painted. After the studies at the university, I painted a lot on paper with the same technique that I'm using today on the walls and in the studio, but before, it was with coffee and ink. The first artist that I knew was Blu, the great Italian artist. Meeting him was very very important. I was a sculptor and an illustrator and it was very easy and natural for me to start painting. Soon, I started to paint the majority of my murals with black because it was, in that moment, a very fast way for me to paint. There are other reasons why I now continue with the use of the black color in the city. The artistic process is very simple now, it changes just a little. For the drawings on paper with ink, I try to paint directly on paper, and this is very important for me. For sketches, I use simple lines basically like a composition. And finally, for the canvas, I make small sketches and then paint directly. Small walls are painted with previous sketches, but the big walls need more preparatory work.
Widewalls: What are your influences, and whose work do you appreciate the most today?
DDLM: Art is a mirror where we could see ourselves. It's always amazing, and if you know the history of art you can have a better knowledge of these people. I love street art, it's amazing! About the influences, I try to work my own way. I have some influences but I'm not aware. In this moment a lot of great artists are doing amazing walls on the streets. Street art is now a professional work and this has a lot of positive sides, but also some negative ones.
Widewalls: For the end, could you share some plans and future projects in store for David de la Mano?

WCCO-TV in Minneapolis to Feature Augustana Basketball
SIOUX FALLS - Augustana men's basketball standout Cody Schilling, selected Freshman of the Year in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference last season, is featured on "Life to the Max" to be shown on WCCO-Television (Channel 4) in Minneapolis Saturday, February 27, at 11:05 p.m.
Cody is the all-time scoring leader in Minnesota high school basketball history and graduated from the state's smallest high school. Segments were filmed at Cody's family farm, in the Ellsworth High School gym and during the Viking's victory over visiting Southwest Minnesota State in January.
Like many rural towns, Ellsworth, MN, relies on farming, a strong sense of community, and an even stronger work ethic during these tough times. And like other small towns, the boy's basketball program is a focal point and a tremendous source of pride. In the first segment, host Mike Max introduces fans to Carla and Clayton Schilling's middle son, Cody, a name that has become synonymous with winning. Visit the high school, the family farm, and see the roots of Minnesota High school basketball's all-time leading scorer.
The 16-minute segment also features Viking coach Tom Billeter who was miked during the game, giving viewers an up-close view of game day at Augustana.
Augustana College with an enrollment of 1,800 is nestled in the progressive city of Sioux Falls. A private college with a strong academic reputation, Augustana also has what many describe as one of the premier men's basketball programs in NCAA Division II. Join the "Life to the Max" crew as they travel to Sioux Falls and continue the story of Cody Schilling. Discover how he is doing at the next level of competition.
LifeTouch sponsors the show each week. Paul Harmel, LifeTouch CEO, is a native of Arlington, SD, and graduated from Augustana in 1972. He played on Arlington High School's state Class B championship basketball team in 1968, and at Augustana was a teammate of Bill Gross, now the Vikings' athletic director.
LifeTouch has been in operation for 70 years and has 25,000 employees worldwide. The company specializes in childhood, student, and family photography. LifeTouch also has a media production division.

Yogurt bar or cheeseburger?
I knew this health thing was over-rated.

I used to only check calories and fat on labels, but for a while now I've been looking at sodium as well. The low fat or low cal items have near double the amount of sodium - I suppose otherwise they'd taste like cardboard. I hardly buy packaged "foods" anymore, it grosses me out.
I read somewhere, a while ago, a quote from some chef whose name I have forgotten, that if something contains more than five ingredients it can't really be considered proper food.
No health bar for me, then.

Barbara, what cheese me (pardon the pun) off is misleading packaging. I bought some peanut butter and discovered the dreaded word 'light' in pale lettering. The stuff tasted terrible and wouldn't spread because they'd taken half the oil out - and replaced it with some other non-peanut derived substance.
The there was the flavoured tonic water (tiny word on the label) that I added to good gin ...

About this Episode
Despite many listener pleas to get back to Bill's sweetspot, the 5th century, we continue to be mesmerized by current events (current events for Bill are anything after the Reformation). In this episode we talk about where our culture is going, with one eye on November, and another to the near distant future. We're going...

ClearWater Artist Studios, in Concord, NC, the artist haven and community hub housed in the City of Concord's nearly century-old water works and utility operations facilities, is turning a page. A set of pages, in fact—it launches a brand-new website today. The new site is available at the same URL (www.clearwaterartists.com).
The new site features dozens of photos and a polished design to peak visitors' curiosity and offer a more complete glimpse of what ClearWater is all about. The site features a gallery of the tenant artists, offering biographies, a sampling of each artist's works, and contact information. Also prominent are the calendar of events, class listings, and online reservations for ClearWater's various event spaces, along with plenty of other interactivity.
"This gives us a polished, interactive gateway to what is becoming a welcoming creative center for the community," said Sarah Gay, Manager of ClearWater Artist Studios. She built the site over the past eight months, with some design help from resident CW artists Walter Stanford and Regina Burchett. A consultant helped define the overall design and navigation elements early in the process.
The new design of the site improves awareness of events produced by ClearWater Artist Studios, such as the annual Sun Drop Pound Cake Portrait Paint-Off, a live painting challenge enjoyed for free by audiences every February. The ongoing Guest Artist Exhibit Series is also popular, which showcases talented local or regional artists who may not be widely known yet. Each artist in turn is asked to provide an Artist Talk for the public. To date, these have attracted audiences of 20-50 people on average.
ClearWater Artist Studios hopes to increase its offering of events and classes this year, and to start bringing in guest teachers for major workshops. One such intensive, 3-day workshop, taught by Charlotte painter Robin Wellner, is already scheduled for the first weekend in October. Wellner was a Featured Painter at the 2017 Portrait Paint-Off. The new website, with its homepage slideshow to feature such upcoming events, will let people know more effectively and more consistently what creative activities they have right at their fingertips, in Concord.
Feedback on the new (www.clearwaterartists.com) is welcomed. E-mail to (email@example.com) or connect on Facebook @ClearwaterArtistStudios.

One Day Itinerary – Pambula
If you're around the stunning Pambula area, we have put together a great one-day itinerary that kids of all ages – and the adults – will love too!
Pinnacles Walk
Start your day with the Pinnacles Walk, within Ben Boyd National Park. This walk is only 1 kilometre long and takes around 30 minutes (even with kids!). The beauty of this little adventure is that you will be taken through forest, woodland, heath and a moist gully – such varied terrain on a short walk, which keeps it interesting for the kids. You can also access the white sands of Long Beach from the carpark should the mood take you.
You will also come across two lookouts on your short journey – with views of Lennards Island to the south and Haycock Point to the north. But one of the most interesting features you will come across are the red and white cliffs – an icon of the Sapphire Coast area. Formed over 65 million years ago, the lower white sands mark the level of an ancient water table, while the red gravel clay is actually rust – it is a very stark contrast.
Getting there: This walk is located 20 kms south of Pambula. From the Princes Highway turn onto Haycock Road, then onto Pinnacles Road. There is a carpark only about 1 km from the highway. Too easy!
Oaklands Barn
Once your mini adventure is complete, it's time to replenish at the Oaklands Barn. This place is not just a cafe though – it is a garden centre, stockfeed store, art gallery, brewery, gift shop, animal barn and cafe! Well we did say this itinerary suits all ages!
Little ones will absolutely love the animal barn which is complete with pigs, chickens, cows, sheep, alpacas and more. The kids can get up close and personal, and they will never want to leave….unless you take them on a pony ride! Yes, the kids (aged from 2 to 7) can ride the ponies as well. What more could a little animal lover want? Entry to the barn is just $2 and pony rides are $5. The animal barn is open every day from 10am to 3pm during NSW school holidays, and on Saturdays and Sundays during the rest of the year. Call ahead during the week outside of holidays to check if open.
Kids from age 8 are catered for too with trail rides on horses! Bookings are essential for this 1.5 hour adventure, which costs $60 per person. Trail rides operate every day during school holidays, or by arrangement throughout the rest of the year.
With the kids looked after, what better time for the adults to enjoy the various other things around the barn – starting with a lovely lunch!
Getting there: Oaklands Barn is located at 3546 Princes Highway Pambula. You cannot miss it! It is only 8km from Merimbula and 18km from Eden too.
Panboola Wetlands
If you still have energy after all this, then head to Panboola Wetlands (if not, book it in for the next day as it is definitely worth seeing!). The end of the main walking track is conveniently located right at Oaklands Barn!
The wetlands are 77 hectares of freshwater billabongs, salt marsh and grassy plains. The birdlife is thriving and abundant here, so keep and eye out! If you have bikes or a pram, this area is perfect as the paths are designed for both riding and walking. Take your time, have your camera at the ready and soak up the serene surroundings in this gem located right near Pambula! There are lots of seats and lookouts throughout the area too.
Getting there: the main entrance for Panboola Wetlands is in Bullara Street – at the bottom of the main street of Pambula. Entry to the wetlands is free.
Can you recommend a walk?
If you have a suggestion of a walk we don't yet have listed on the site, we would love to know about it. It takes quite a while to build up a list like this so your help would be really appreciated. Just let us know a short description about the walk, what is great about it and where it is. If you like you can submit some photos to email@example.com
We can't wait to hear from you!
Completed this walk?
If you have completed the walk listed above, please leave a comment in the box listed at the bottom of the page to let others know what you thought of it. They would love to know the ages of your children when they went on the walk, any particular points of interest, things to watch out for and of course what you loved (or didn't) about it.

You might be surprised to find out that some time management methods actually require an initial time investment. It sounds like a paradox to spend time in order to save time. However, this principle is very clear. Ignoring it might become a real block in your business.
There are numerous methods to ensure that your time is properly used. While some methods only require a few seconds, many others ask for plenty of time. Besides, some managers may also require some extra time in order to work in a different manner. Delegating tasks is usually a good starting point. You have probably thought about it already. In your opinion, some things require less time if you do them yourself. In 80% of the cases, the feeling is correct. But be very careful because all these things lose their availability if something intervenes. What if the phone rings? What if someone asks for some information? What if you require an hour or two to find the information? There are cases when such an interruption simply does not take more than 5 minutes.
In order to avoid this task, you will obviously think about asking someone else to do it. Your employees can clearly understand what they have to do and they may actually handle this responsibility in no time. But in order to explain everything to them, you might end up spending 15 minutes. Both you and your designated worker will waste 15 minutes. In such a case, it is obvious that doing it yourself is faster.
However, when some tasks show up regularly, things change. Maybe someone asks for information on a daily basis. If you spend some time to instruct someone on where to search and what to do step by step, you will save time in the long run. You can forget about wasting 5 minutes everyday. Instead, you can waste 15 minutes today and save 20 minutes during the first week.
The time equation is expressed like a rapport between saving time and investing time. The results will most likely be very positive. This principle can be applied in every business in order to save resources. I gave this example with a 5 minute task only, but think about the time you might save if you ever have to handle complex responsibilities that take hours or even days.
Meditate and accumulate in order to spend and save time
Everyone falls into this trap sometimes. I actually do it every once in a while and I never seem to learn. For any random reason, you might find it possible or even better to stop from what you are doing in order to handle a different task that barely takes a few minutes. It looks like you actually save time and accomplish a task, but you actually overcrowd yourself and lose your efficiency.
Besides, it is definitely worth to think twice. Never let yourself clogged in this time consuming trap and you will soon find out the optimal way to properly manage your time.


text:
For many of us, one of the hardest things we ever do is doing nothing. Incredibly difficult, disciplining ourselves to find some regular time to do nothing is the best way to make the doings that we do, when the time is right for doing, worth something once the doing's done. When we never really rest, we just end up done in, and much of the doing becomes dry dust bereft of real meaning.
If you found it difficult to make your way out of that last first paragraph, it's because it's its own frenetic illustration of our lives, bouncing so rapidly from one "doing" to the next, and the next, and the next, that it almost never stops. The Brits call a "period" at the end of a sentence a "full stop." And an occasional full stop is exactly what we desperately need.
At least, our Creator seems to think so. He thought that a regular time to rest was important enough for the well-being of the humans he created in his image that he devoted one of the Ten Commandments to it. Even God rested on the seventh day of creation.
Dallas Willard once observed that "the command is 'Do No Work.'" What that means, he says, is as simple as it is difficult: "Just make space. Attend to what is around you. Learn that you don't have to do to be. Accept the grace of doing nothing." And, knowing us well, he says, "Stay with it until you stop jerking and squirming." (And texting!)
Oh, but we do jerk. We do squirm. And we have a very hard time just "making space" even for a few moments.
What is "urgent" crowds out the truly important. (How many texts do you get in a day that deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the word "important"?)
What is loud floods our ears continually and drowns out the silence that can fill our souls with meaning if we just stop long enough to let it in.
What is garish and glitzy blasts our eyes with counterfeit color and flash-blinds us to the real beauty and joy we could see all around us if we'd just be still long enough (and unglue our eyes from our screens long enough) to look around and see it. But most of the time we're moving so fast with our thumbs or our feet that life itself becomes a dreary blur.
I think it was Dallas Willard again who commented that rest and diversion are not the same things. We all enjoy some occasional diversion. A "run fast and play hard" vacation at times is fine, but don't be surprised when you come home more tired than when you left, and your soul is still hungering for some real rest.
Living life continually at high speeds is unsafe. Wrecks happen and people get hurt. Relationships suffer as we bump into each other and crash into solid objects like exhaustion and reality. We weren't made to run this fast, this continually.
And so our bodies, our minds, and the objects and people we bump into often end up forcing us to stop, whether we like it or not. I wonder how much depression, migraines, gut maladies—and on the list goes—are really our bodies/minds saying, "You won't stop on your own, fool? Pull over. I bet I can stop you for a while."
As always, our Creator is telling us the truth. Our souls desperately need some genuine rest.

Five pure Jamaican singers who deserve more recognition
by Jodee Brown
Tessanne Chin's landmark appearance on NBC's The Voice has not only allowed her to take her career to its highest level yet, but has given her a chance to represent Jamaica musically in ways that have not been seen in quite a while, as most recently evidenced Monday night.
After years of being producing modest hits on the Jamaican music scene, Tessanne decided she was not going to settle for being an afterthought on the local music scene, showed and showed great humility in deciding to enter the American talent show despite being a known, regarded musician in her homeland for nearly 10 years. The Hideaway singer was able to push herself to new heights being on this show and, regardless of how her journey on The Voice ends, will have set a high bar for her fellow Jamaicans to aspire to and allow for many local singers to try that much harder to unlock their potentials to the world.
With that in mind, I've compiled a list of five accomplished, pure Jamaican singers who, with varying levels of success to date, could more promotional muscle, hits and deserved recognition for their various talents internationally. Check them out:
#1 Ikaya
Why Ikaya hasn't gotten a bigger boost than she has since bursting onto the scene in 2009, is a mystery, but she's still relatively young to garner the press and success her talents deserve.
Divulging from a more raw, Dancehall sound at the turn of this decade paid dividends as she belted out hits like Fly Away, High and Hard Way. Yet, her progress to mainstream stardom has seemingly stagnated since, aside from the odd, awe-inspiring performances on TVJ's Layers of Soul.
She's a spirited, underrated performer with solid vocals, sex appeal and diversity in her music, like her song with Busy Signal showed in June. With more songs, shows and press, Ikaya can fulfill her undoubted potential.
#2 D Major and Shuga
Two Penthouse Records acts with strong amounts of talent, D Major (left)and Shuga (right) both have strong, powerful voices that have largely (and sadly) gone mostly unnoticed. That can change with major pushes for both acts.
D Major is a soft-singing, strong and soulful singer with some modest hits to his name, including his recent hit, Real Know Real. He's an act ideally suited for the ladies with a look and voice that will melt them with ease. If he can find a transcendent hit, continue improving his vocal quality and gain more traction for his songs overseas, D Major could become a major player down the line.
Shuga, formerly Brown Sugar gained nationwide attention after winning Digicel Rising Stars in 2009, but has found mainstream attention hard to come by since. Back-up singing duties to the likes of Da'Ville and Tanya Stephens followed, but after switching her image to a more edgy, risk-taking singer in 2012, she has enjoyed a bit of a renaissance. Hits like 9.58 and My Soul To Jah proved she can have a successful career post-Risng Stars and with more promotion as well as a deeper catalogue will be a force to reckon with down the line.
#3 Denyque
She's an exceptional vocalist, conceptually and intellectually gifted and is drop-dead gorgeous (as this photo obviously proves): The ideal package for a superstar singer in the making.
While she has a very decent catalogue of songs to boast, including Breathe, Supergirl and Make Me Believe You, she's unfortunately known by most thanks to a nude photo scandal in 2012, triggered by a controversial Jamaican blog. Given her worldly potential and quality as an artist, this should not be the case.
She has the songs, but not the shows, the big ones at least. Aside from a performance atReggae Sumfest 2011, she has hardly featured on any major shows. With more hit songs, appearances on shows like Sumfest and Shaggy and Friends and maybe a couple of collabs with overseas acts, Denyque can be the superstar her talents and personality warrant. Additionally, with Jade Lee, Sean Paul's former booking agent during his Grammy-winning days backing her, the promotional muscle should only get stronger from here.
#4 Christopher Martin
Make no mistake, Christopher Martinis one of Jamaica's most established singers of the last decade, churning out a bevy of hits and earning his share of accolades. However, I've often been left with the feeling the former Digicel Rising Stars winner should be much more accomplished and rated than he is.
Since that triumph on the popular talent show in 2005, hits such as Take My Wings, Driver, Cheater's Prayer, Paper Loving and Chill Spot have made him an international success, particularly in the Caribbean, Europe and Africa. Even with that, Martin still does not get enough recognition for his multiple talents, particularly in the American market, where fellow Rising Stars winner Romain Virgo has made some impact.
An LP, more promotion overseas and continued consistency from this extremely strong vocalist would make him more of a global threat. Could you imagine if he got a shot on 'The Voice' himself if he were eligible? He may be in line to win that talent show too given his prowess.
#5 Alaine
Since the start of Tessanne's stellar run on The Voice, I've been thinking of which pure singer, more than anyone, deserves more international recognition for his or her talents despite their varying levels of success in Jamaica. To me, Alaine fits that bill best.
Like Tessanne, she has number one hits to boast and a high note that will make your eyes bulge. She's always had the depth, vocal range and songs, likeSacrifice and Rise In Love to make her a major success internationally. But she hasn't quite reached that plateau yet.
The most attention she has garnered internationally is a feature alongside Shaggy for his 2010 hit, For Your Eyes Only, which topped charts worldwide thanks in part for her sensual chorus. If she could gain such measure with one of her own efforts, with just a little more attention and promotion, she can undoubtedly take this star Jamaican singer's career to its higher level yet.

It's official! After months of rumors and speculation, Fiat-Chrysler has confirmed a new Jeep Wrangler pickup truck is coming in 2017.
The new vehicle, named the Scrambler, should be released by 2017. Specifications are still sparse, but according to Love 4×4, consumers can probably expect a 3.6 liter VVT V6 standard engine and the heavy-duty off-road suspension system that the Wrangler is known for.
Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles, first said that the next generation of the Wrangler will be all aluminum. However, Marchionne later confirmed that the Scrambler won't be completely made out of the material. The chassis is said to be traditional and fitted with aluminum panels.

Obama Hopes to Surge Forward…a Little Bit
Well, Mr. President, it's about damn time. Since General McChrystal asked for more troops (all the way back in August) our president has finally made a decision about it. But before I get into all that, I have to take issue with the amount of time it has taken Mr. Obama to develop this plan. I mean August was what, 4 months ago, and this quote from Gen. McChrystal is all too telling:
"Failure to gain the initiative and reverse insurgent momentum in the near term (next 12 months) — while Afghan security capacity matures — risks an outcome where defeating the insurgency is no longer possible."
Well, Obama's already managed to waste 4 months out of those 12, and how many American deaths have there been in Afghanistan since then? August was the deadliest month yet for our troops and these chilling charts show the dramatic rise in death since we first sent troops there.
There have been too many deaths while Obama has played golf, basketball, and focused on other things rather than winning the War on Terror. So, Mr. President thanks for finally doing something.
Now what about that something he has decided on? I have three issues. The first is this: Rush made a great point on his show today about that fact that Obama traveled to West Point to make his speech rather than doing it from the Oval Office. So why all the pomp and circumstance? In my opinion it is because Obama has no credibility on winning the War on Terror. And so he must create this artificial backdrop to look presidential. What better way to do that than to give the speech in front of all our troops dressed in their military finest. It certainly makes a fine looking spectacle.
Second, I, like many Americans am tired of the war, but at the same time I want to win. I want our troops to come home victorious in battle. I don't want all these years of fighting to be for not. And while I'm glad Obama is finally sending troops there, I wish the focus would be on defeating terrorism for good rather than having a lets-sort-of-do-something-and get-this-over-with-as-fast-as-possible-so-I-don't-make-my-base-mad-at-me kind of mentality. I just don't see how we as a country can be successful with that type of mentality. We must be focused on victory. But if McCrystal says Obama has given him what he needs, then so be it.
Finally, Obama talked about the cost of the these wars and about the toll it has taken on the American people economically. Well, yes that is true, but it infuriates me when Obama complains about the cost of freedom in Afghanistan and Iraq, yet has no problem with spending trillions on big government programs like health care, stimulus, and cap and trade. Priorities please!
I know that war is devastating, and innocent people are always destroyed by it. But sometimes it is a necessary evil. We cannot forget 9/11 and the 3000 innocent people that lost their lives that day. We cannot forget the millions of people we liberated during WWII, and we cannot forget that war is how we won our independence as a nation. Now we are fighting the tyranny of terrorism and we must not stop until that evil is rooted out and destroyed. After all, Bin Ladin is still out there, and he still hates America.

"Lee Strobel, You Are Just Plain Stupid!"
By John W. Loftus at 8/21/2010
I like Bishop John Shelby Spong. I've read a couple of his books more than a decade ago and they were eye-opening to me. He presents a superior case against Christian fundamentalism. Watch Spong in action below but take special note of how utterly stupid Lee Strobel is at the end. He merely repeats platitudes that Biblical scholars have long ago debunked. Sorry Lee but you are one ignorant man.
Loftus is one of those benighted individuals who's too self-absorbed to know he made a revealing statement when he makes it. Spong is just a hack who merely repeats platitudes by Fosdick, Harvey Cox, &c.
It shows what his real standards are, what passes for "scholarship" in his eyes, that Spong is a source of inspiration.
As for Strobel–it's true that he's just a popularizer. However, he interviews top scholars in the field.
And he himself has a law degree from Yale. So I seriously doubt he's just plain stupid.
Moreover, attacking Strobel makes no more sense than attacking Charlie Rose. It comes down to the guest, not the interviewer.

"I like Bishop John Shelby Spong." -JohnReplyDelete
I like him too. He at least is 100% totally ice cold. He is lost and needs us to ask the Lord to open his heart.
Matthew wasn't wrong, and wasn't like some country preacher, who got it wrong. This Spong is in a bad way. Sad. And so John Loftus is in a bad way as well.
Christ was born of Mary, a virgin, and He was Immanuel. If you don't believe this, then you are dead in your sins, or you are a new believer, who will come to believe it with all your heart full of joy.
Have a blessed Lord's day!
It's never really surprising when atheists like Christians that are as atheistic as possible.ReplyDelete
There's the ignorance, or non-comprehension of a Spong, but it's the aggressive arrogance and need to teach and proclaim their ignorance that I find, for lack of a better word, interesting.ReplyDelete
I think it comes down to this (and not surprising because it's how the Bible explains it): they are fighting against the light because they are engaging in something that the light is a threat to. In Spong's case...? I don't know his bio, but nothing would surprise me.
Wonderful title there. Unlike you nasty Triabloggers, JWL always takes the high road.ReplyDelete
Loftus' schtick is wearing quite thin. I'm sure his loyal sycophants continue to get a rise out of his childish name-calling, but for one who fancies himself as leading the unwashed out of ignorance you'd think he'd drop that ineffective fallacious tactic. He's nothing but a boorish loud-mouth who thinks he's making himself look good by insulting others. The man just needs to grow up and realize he's not the center of the universe, despite what all his sycophants tell him.ReplyDelete

press samples, I bought it myself, affiliate links
This post has been a long time in the making. I am a huge fan of illuminators of all kinds and I wanted to round up some of my favorites in every category. Some of these are products I've reviewed in the past and some are things I bought and never got around to putting on the blog. Either way I'll swatch them all for you and you can decide for yourself if any of these are on your must have list for this summer. I think a few of them might be irresistible to you!
I love powder illuminators and have a lot! When I thought about narrowing it down to my favorite, it was tough but these are my favorite powder illuminators are by Becca, Shiseido, Laura Mercier, and The Body Shop right now.
Shiseido's Face Color Enhancing Trios come in a gorgeous compact with blush, sculpting, and highlighting color. Technically only one of the shades is an illuminator/highlighter but I love that they create the perfect shade to match the blush in their compact. Everything is very coordinated! I have been swirling the shades together and wearing them as one shade, and I've also been wearing them like I'm supposed to as a blush, highlighter, and bronzer. These are to die for and they're a new release. I have Apple and Peach. Apple is a more every day shade for me whereas peach looks great with some of my coral and orange lipsticks.
Laura Mercier's Shimmer Bloc in Peach Mosaic is one of those shades that can literally cause you to gasp when you open the compact to look at it. The shades are breathtaking. I swished my fingertips in the compact back and forth a few times to get this much pigment but WOW these shades pack a punch. I normally swirl them all together but since they are separated you could certainly concentrate your brush in one area of the compact that appeals to you. This looks absolutely amazing with a tan in the summer. At some point I would love to pick up more colors of this Shimmer Bloc because it gets used all the time. I used it practically every day last summer and there's hardly a dent in the compact, so it lasts forever too!
The Body Shop Shimmer Waves in Bronze compact is a great way to illuminate and bronze at the same time. I bought this a couple years ago to wear in my cousin's wedding. It's really gorgeous and because the colors are all separate in the compact you could also wear them as eyeshadow. This is not as vibrant as the Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc, but it's a more natural look and very pretty to wear.
First, I bought Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal, then the Moonstone. These are the most gorgeous powder illuminators I own and my favorite of the bunch. Opal looks really nice with a tan, and Moonstone is great on fair skin. I just can't sing the praises of these enough. They are subtle and not disco ball shiny but really illuminate in a way that makes it seem like you're glowing. These are fantastic and very finely milled powders. You NEED these in your life. They come in liquid versions as well if you prefer that.
When I reach for a liquid illuminator, there are many that I have in mind! Some of my favorites are by Benefit, Josie Maran, MAKE Cosmetics, Boots No. 7 and Clinique.
Benefit High Beam, Sun Beam, and Moon Beam are cult classics. They come in a little jar that reminds me of a nail polish and they tickle a little in application. I don't reach for these as often because I feel I am always trying a new release instead lately, but they are definitely old favorites. High Beam is the first highlighter I ever tried and is a pale pink and flatters my pale skin tone, although I like the way it looks with a tan as well. Sun Beam would be for when you're really tan, and Moon Beam would work best if you're somewhere in the middle. I like to apply these to my cheekbones, the cupid's bow, and under my brow bone. Just writing about these makes me want to put them back in my daily rotation. If you get the chance to pick up a mini instead of full size, do that instead because you will never finish a bottle before it goes bad and dries up.
Here are three liquid illuminators you don't hear about very often at all. Josie Maran is probably my favorite of the bunch and is an absolutely gorgeous golden shade. I wear this mixed with my foundation sometimes in the summer, or apply it to my cheekbones and I am absolutely glowing when I do this. The only flaw I can find is that one full pump of this is an obnoxious amount of product but if you take it easy you won't waste the bottle. This is my favorite liquid illuminator of the moment.
Boots No 7 Skin Illuminator is almost kinda-sorta a Benefit High Beam dupe in a much bigger bottle, it's cheaper, and it applies ever so slightly sheerer. I prefer High Beam over this if I'm using it on my face, but if I was going to mix it with foundation this would be perfect. Also, I like mixing a couple pumps with lotion and applying this to my legs!
MAKE Skin Illuminizer in Skir is a soft white pearlescent highlighter with a brush and I don't own anything else like it. I really like how subtle and natural it is and it looks great with my skin tone! I should pull this out more often but I always forget how much I love it!
Over the years I have purchased all three of Clinique's illuminizers. These come in huge containers which would lead me to believe they are most suited for the body but you can use them on the face too. Natural looks really nice mixed with foundation or over my collarbones. Bronze is one that I have worn when I'm really tan mixed with foundation. I've also mixed it with my body lotion and applied it to my legs. Blush is a shade that I have used as a sheer blush when I want a little more oomph. I apply it over top of the blush I'm already wearing and it gives a little more glow and intensity on top of having some illuminating properties. These have been around forever and I don't pull them out that much, but there's always a time and a place for old goodies! Looking this up on websites, I'm unsure if Natural is an option anymore.
Lastly, the solid illuminators I reach for the most often are by LUSH, Benefit, RMS, and It Cosmetics. Solids are great for traveling and fun to use if you like blending things out with your fingers!
Lush Feeling Younger Skin Tint is a great illuminator but not a solid so I can't remember why it made this category. Maybe because it's in a pot and not a pump like the rest of the liquid products. Regardless, this has a really nice sheen and I enjoy wearing it. It's very subtle so great if you're going for a natural look. LUSH's products don't have a super long shelf life so if you are going to buy this, commit to putting this in the rotation often so it doesn't go bad.
Benefit's Watt's Up! comes in a stick and one side is the color and other side is a blending smudger tool. It's a pretty excellent illuminator and once again as I write about this I am wondering why I don't reach for it more. It's a gorgeous champagne sheen and I think it would flatter most people!
RMS Living Luminizer is a creamy solid product, has really nice pigmentation and gives off a very natural sheen. The shade this shows up on me reminds me a lot of the MAKE Skir. It's a white pearlescent shimmer and very natural. I would love to explore more from this brand sometime!
It Cosmetics Hello Light is a solid compact. It's a gorgeous illuminator and I love how sheer it applies. This would be for someone who truly wants a glow as you don't really build up the color with this very much. It's a very "lit from within" type shade. It Cosmetics really brings it when it comes to most everything makeup, but they really kick butt with their illuminators. I just discovered another stick illuminator in my stash the other day from them and I will need to write about it soon as it's also becoming a fast favorite.
Did I mention your favorite illuminator? Believe me, I have many more that I love but this post would have been WAY too long if I named them all. Rest assured, by the end of summer, I will probably have a whole new list of favorites! If you have questions on any of the products ask away, or click the pictures below!

In a prime example of real-world adoption, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) just endorsed 11 cryptocurrency exchanges, giving them official licenses to sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins to Japanese customers.
This development gives Japan the distinction of liberalizing its citizens' access to crypto at a time when neighboring Asian nations like China and South Korea are initiating tighter regulations in the space.
This trajectory of legitimization began in April, when the Japanese government recognized Bitcoin as an official currency. Increasingly, then, the influential island nation is placing itself at the vanguard of crypto, staking out its position as arguably the most pro-Bitcoin world power.
Most notably, the FSA approved bitFlyer—Japan's largest and most successful crypto exchange to date.
"Japan has been exploding with demand for both Bitcoin trading as well as virtual currency services. The FSA's approval for bitFlyer to operate as a Registered Virtual Currency Exchange, and the agency's openness and forward-thinking regulation could not come at a better time for the Blockchain space," said bitFlyer CEO Yuzo Kano in a press release.
Meanwhile in Japan…?? https://t.co/0iccFz84FX
— CryptoCon$cient (@CryptoConscient) September 29, 2017
As Japan's leading financial watchdog, the FSA has made it clear they intend to prevent a repeat of the Mt Gox incident, a cryptocurrency exchange that failed in Tokyo in 2014 due to mismanagement.
A full list of endorsed exchanges by the FSA is available in Japanese on their website.
Expect upward pressure on the price of crypto–Bitcoin and Ethereum in particular—as positive news like this continues to pour out of Japan. bitFlyer itself has declared it intends to use its new license to attract new international crypto users, meaning this is just the beginning of new money entering the space.
And Japan's influential position as a world leader will surely inspire other countries to follow its pro-Bitcoin lead, in Asia and beyond.
Bullish news like this could have Bitcoin testing its all-time high of $5,000 in the short-term.
TLDR: The Japanese government just gave official licenses to 11 crypto exchanges, making it the new headquarters for Bitcoin in Asia.
