Wednesday, December 15th, 2010—Bar 339
Day 339—Monday, December 14th, 2010
Café Loup/Mars Bar (Originally headed for Spain Restaurant)
Today was one of those magical days. A last minute day off from work. Working full time and doing this bar crawl has left very little in the way of personal time and last night I asked my manager if I could have the night off so I could clear up all this shit and seeing that he's the very best manager in the entire universe, he agreed. Well, somewhat, I'm kind of on-call in case some big rush job comes in. But usually they'd know about something like that before five o'clock and now it's closing in on six o'clock. So if they call after six, they're kind of fucked. Because that's when I'm opening up my first beer. One of the many things I did today was take a box of coins to the bank and cash them in. It's the change I've collected during this whole bar crawl. I love cashing in change because it's like getting free money, at least to me. I thought maybe there was a little over a hundred bucks there, but guess what, it was over three hundred bucks! It's like winning a mini-Lotto. So with this new-found wealth, I thought I'd treat myself to a dinner and I've decided to have dinner at the bar at a Spanish restaurant in my neighborhood called, Spain. I'd tell you more, but it just turned six o'clock. Time for a couple cold appetizers before we go. Cheers.
Okay, I've been going to this place since I moved into the neighborhood over 10 years ago. It's not like I'm in here every week, but I go at least a dozen times a year, so I thought it would be a classic night on the bar crawl in here. I usually come here with friends and we get a table, I've never sat at the bar, so I was looking forward to it. Well, I went in sat at the bar and ordered a Sangria. The bartender was an old bald guy and I had seen him in here before. When he brought my drink I gave him a 365 card and told him about the bar crawl and asked if I could take a picture. He didn't hesitate a second before he scowled and started yelling at me that I couldn't bring my advertising in there. I told him I wasn't selling advertising and that I just wanted to write nice things about the place and he told me to leave. I saw a waiter walk by that has waited on me many times and asked why the bartender was being so rude to me and I told him I've been coming here for years. The waiter scowled at me and said, "I've never seen your face before." And he's waited on me many times and I've always gotten good service in there and tipped well. The whole thing kind of flipped me out and I left. I was in a really fucking bad mood, and now I had to find another place to do the bar crawl. And now I'm really not in the mood at all to do this.
It's freezing out, so luckily this place is right next door. Let's check it out.
The hostess was nice and said there was plenty of room at the bar, but it was hard to get back in the bar-crawling mood after being so rudely treated at Spain.
Here's the bar. To tell you the truth, I kind of just feel like going home.
Dien the bartender was a nice guy and served up a bottle of Duvel beer.
Cheers. Okay, I'm still obsessing over those fuckers at Spain. It's one thing if I'm a stranger and a bar nicely tells me that they don't want me taking pictures and doing the 365 thing, it's happened before, but I've been in there a ton of times and they throw me out on my ear after yelling and scowling at me? Fuck, I'm really not in the mood for this now. Oh, the agony of defeat.
I was going to talk to this guy, but he's busy with his Kindle. Fuck it, nothing's working out tonight and my confidence is kind of shaken.
Not even an obligatory bar room mirror shot can perk me up. I feel like I'm letting you down. It's not the Cafe Loup's fault either, I blame those rude people at Spain. What to do when things are going sideways and nothing is fun on the old bar crawl?
Hop in a cab that's bound for...
Mars Bar! This should salvage the night! You can't have a bad time here.
Aaahh, my mood is elevated just walking into here. Everybody always asks me what my favorite bar is and I truthfully answer I don't have one, because I've been to so many great ones. But I always tell them my favorite night was Easter Sunday at the Mars Bar.
One of the cool things about Mars Bar is they champion artists and there's always original art on the walls, along with endless graffiti.
Hooray, my name's still on the cash register! Okay, I'm back in the bar-crawling mood, thanks to Mars Bar!
There's more original art up near the front window.
A view of the bar from where I've settled in.
Just like on Easter, the bartender didn't want her photo taken, but she remembered me and was very friendly and happily took my picture. This is my message to the developers that are going to tear the Mars Bar down.
Erin and Eric who were seated next to me joined in on the flip fest. Fuck you condo people!
I wasn't the only one taking photos of this iconic place.
Here's Jay, Bob and Cindy joining in on telling the building developers to go fuck themselves.
Even Santa loves the Mars Bar.
There's no place like the Mars Bar.
And one last fuck you to everybody who wants to rip this place off the block.
Here's a message I wrote back in April and it's still on the walls. "365 Bars love the Mars Bar!"
Goodnight, everybody.
Review of Café Loup
I don't feel qualified to review this place because I was in such a shitty frame of mind after being mind-fucked over at Spain. They were very hospitable and it wasn't their fault I couldn't get in a better state of mind. Here's a review from New York magazine and I highly recommend it. In fact it's my new go-to spot on the block. See ya Spain, wouldn't want to be ya!
Chef/owner Lloyd Feit gives West Villagers exactly what they want: A menu that ranges from casual (a superb burger and fries) to cassoulet, an effortlessly suave and spacious dining room, and an always-reliable kitchen. Mr. Feit buys organic as much as possible, and long before the bistro/brasserie craze brought us self-conscious places like Balthazar and Pastis, Café Loup was doing its thing without fanfare or pretense. A no-brainer for lunch or dinner if you're in the neighborhood. — Steven A. Shaw

Review of Mars Bar
It's sad to think the Mars Bar is closing. They claim it'll be re-opened in two to three years, but even if it is, it'll never be the same. The good news is the bartender told me that it may be open till summer, if so, I'm going back and buying pizza for everyone on Easter Sunday again. Here's my review from back then, I still stand by it.
As the Bed Bath And Beyonds and Barnes and Noble "superstores" continue to ruin New York City, thank God for institutions like the Mars Bar. This concrete rectangle of graffiti and art-filled madness is a testament to old school New York artists, free thinking folks and people looking to drink and have a good time. The only Blackberry you'll find in here is brandy and the only thing close to an iPad is an artist pad that's passed around the bar where the locals add their original sketches.
You'll find no TV's at Mars Bar, but the jukebox is probably the best in the city if not the country. It's packed with everything from mariachi to cha-cha to Chuck Berry to the Cramps to the Beach Boys and everything in between. And everyone takes turns putting on tunes at Mars Bar, so the music is always flowing along with the endless liquor. The selection isn't huge here, so have a Budweiser and one of their massive whiskey shots and shut up and enjoy the eccentric and non-judgmental crowd.
There's no food or kitchen here, but they have a huge pile of menus from neighborhood take-out joints. I suggest you order a pie from Two Boots for the crowd. I did and a good time was had by all! God bless the Mars Bar!

Making A Viral Video: Using Sean Brown's Motorized Precision Camera Robot For Microsoft Surface Studio/
Microsoft's new Surface Studio has garnered a lot of buzz online, with the YouTube video having attracted well over 11 million views and more than 153,000 positive ratings (as of this writing).
It's an amazing piece of flexible technology. And getting the stunning close-ups and motion control shots for the video required another amazing piece of flexible technology.
The Microsoft Surface Studio is a sleek, all-in-one computer with some pretty cool functionality. Like the big 28" touchscreen, with 10-point multi-touch, which you can draw on with a Surface Pen.
It also folds down from the standard desktop configuration into a drafting table configuration--the kind of thing that makes designers very excited.
To get the shots required to show off just how revolutionary this computer is, Amber Geiger Productions booked our soundstage and brought in Sean Brown of Motorized Precision and his 4,000 lb. camera operator named KIRA.
She may be big boned, but she can move the camera like a ballet dancer.
And no, we're not hurting her feelings because KIRA is basically a giant, robotic arm. And if we COULD hurt her feelings, she could toss through the wall like the Incredible Hulk.
Sean has designed KIRA's movement to be pre-programmed through a computer interface, or you can move her in real time using an Xbox controller. Who says all that gaming was a waste of time?
You be the judge. Scroll down to see the finished spot.

Keeping Score
Davis to join Golden State summer league squad
Former Southern Miss basketball star Dwayne Davis didn't get picked in the NBA Draft Friday night, but he has been given a shot to earn a spot on an NBA team.
Davis will compete in the NBA Summer League as a member of the Golden State Warriors' squad, he confirmed Friday via text message.
The summer league will last from July 12-22 and will take place in Las Vegas, including many of the players picked in Friday's draft.
Davis improved his standing as a potential pro basketball player with a strong summer that included a spot on the all-tournament team in the Portsmouth Invitational.
Davis earned first-team All-Conference USA this past season after averaging 16.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in his senior season.

DO you recommend an in-person consultation?
YES! It's extremely important you meet with a potential photographer prior to booking with them. A wedding can be one of the most sentimental and personal events of a person's life. That said, I believe that clients need to be comfortable with the person behind the camera so that they are at ease in front of the camera. An in-person consultation allows clients to get to know the photographer ahead of time.
Of course! We travel all over. West coast to the east coast, Europe, Asia...Travel fees are added to the package price as needed (e.g. airfare, hotel, car rental, etc.).
how does the Booking and payment process work?
After your package is finalized, a contract will be sent digitally for all parties to read and sign. Once signed, a reservation fee of $700 is required no later than one week after the contract is signed. This fee will go towards your balance. All payments can be made via check (by mail), e-check or credit card (through a secure weblink). Final payment is due two weeks prior to the wedding date (or sooner if you prefer).
do you offer wedding albums?
We do! We offer beautifully designed custom albums that tell the story of your special day. The process is simple, we choose the images, we design the album and then send you a link for review. If you would like to make any changes to the images we selected you're more than welcome to. Once you are happy with how the album looks we will send it to print. Albums start at $400. A $150 deposit fee is required up front.
No. However, I highly recommend that you considering one. As I would love to be in all places at once, it's not possible. Imagine the groom standing at the alter seeing his beautiful bride walking down the aisle. I'm only able to capture one reaction as you both see each other. Having two photographers we're not only able to capture both bride and groom reactions, but multiple angles.
how will we receive Your final images?
Your final edited high resolution images will be mailed to you on a USB drive. An online web gallery will also be provided. Here you will have the option to download, share and print your images. Allow 4 weeks after wedding date for your images to be delivered.

HotSwell are a new surf fore-casting website company, they wanted a brand that would fit straight into the current surf trends but they also wanted to look established.
The idea was inspired from when an off shore wind hits the face of a wave, not only does it push up the wave, it creates spray, we replaced the spray with the flames which visually translates the company name.
We also created a stand alone typographic logo to be used with or without the ident. This gives more flexibility when applying the brand to printed materials and clothing ranges. We also helped with skinning the website and designing printed material, point of sale and web banners.

Lovegoods, Dobby to get musical themes in 'Deathly Hallows' score
25 September 2010 at 01:30 GMT
Both the Lovegoods and Dobby will get musical themes in Alexandre Desplat's score for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I, according to an update by Conrad Pope, the score's orchestrator. Recording with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) began a week ago.
27 August: Working on Alexandre Desplat's new score for the next "Potter". Exciting, vigorous music! Harry flies, fights and conjures. All accompanied by the distinctive, definitely non-generic voice of Desplat. Those who love melodies, harmonies and emotions in their film scores should be pleased. Reminds one of the old days. Stay tuned.
24 September: Just finished the first week with the LSO of recording Alexandre Desplat's score to "HP7". Harry Potter now occupies a new musical universe. For Lovegood AD has written a charming, "groovin'" theme. Dobby, too, is given a new "voice". The emotional music reaches its climax in Ron's speech in the "wilderness" where the poetry of AD conveys the emotion in a single chord's voicing. Stay tuned.
Deathly Hallows: Part I will be released on November 19; Alexandre Desplat's soundtrack will be released on November 16.
With thanks to UHP.

Finally a theme for Luna and her father!!!! Now really I can't wait for this score. You can notice that Desplat is a real fan of Harry Potter (yes, he's a fan).

Human Universal Load Carrier (HULC) is based on a design from Berkeley Bionics of California, but Lockheed says they have enhanced the basic HULC.
Raytheon's rival XOS mechwarrior suit, which at last report still trails an inconvenient power cable to the nearest wall socket.
* Soldiers will be able to carry loads up to 200 pounds with minimal effort
* HULC uses four pounds of lithium polymer batteries will run the exoskeleton for an hour walking at 3mph, according to Lockheed. Speed marching at up to 7mph reduces this somewhat; a battery-draining "burst" at 10mph is the maximum speed
A soldier with a pack would normally go at 3 mph maximum and cover 10-12 miles in a day.
* Remote-controlled gun mounts weighing as little as 55lb are available, able to handle various kinds of normally tripod- or bipod-mounted heavy weapons
* there's an extended-endurance HULC fitted with a "silent" generator running on JP8 jet fuel. A tankful will run this suit for three days, marching eight hours per day
* HULC is basically a legs and body system only: there's no enhancement to the user's arms, though an over-shoulder frame can be fitted allowing a wearer to hoist heavy objects such as artilery shells with the aid of a lifting strop.
NOTE: Average humans walk 4 to 6 mph, but special operations soldiers are often expected to carry up to 150 pounds of supplies in their backpacks. 25mph speed with bionic boots (springing the step) would be covering almost a marathon distance in one hour.

A Room With A View
Given that there were quite a few of us, we didn't end up sharing with strangers. I ended up sharing a room with four others and we had our own en-suite shower and toilet, with towels provided. More impressive was the view from the window. Not bad for £48 including breakfast!

Jo and I stayed in a hostel in Ullapool and were surprised at how good it was - just like a TravelLodge at about £40 for the two of us (not sharing with anyone else!!!) and breakfast.
- 31 October 2011 at 16:45 , GB said...
I was going to say that I don't do sharing. And in 'this' life I don't. But when I'm in NZ and go away with 'The Girls' to tournaments all over NZ we always share a unit although there have been occasions when we've all shared a 'bach' (one friend has one - called a bach but in fact a huge house - that sleeps 19!) and shared a bedroom too. But it would take a lot to get me to share in a hostel.
- 3 November 2011 at 13:39 , Jenny Woolf said...
Hostels can be good, I find the YHA hostels are generally very civilised these days. But privately run ones can be a mixed bag. Which hostel was this exactly? Might go there myself sometime ! :)
- 4 November 2011 at 08:18 , Mark said...
It was the St. Christopher's Inn -- http://www.st-christophers.co.uk/brighton-hostels
It certainly wasn't posh, but as a place to sleep for about four and a half hours after a long evening it was perfect, and cheap.

Making the most of music on your smartphone
Sometimes it can be hard to believe how far the mobile phone has come in terms of integrating itself into our daily lives.
When they first started to come onto the market, the ability to make a phone call from almost any location seemed like enough of a convenience.
However, since the popularisation of the smartphone, the range of things we use them for has expanded seemingly exponentially.
Everything from text messages and accessing the internet to sending emails and taking photos can all be done from one convenient rectangle of glass, metal and plastic.
One of the most popular features of the smartphone is the ability to listen to music – and we have come up with a quick guide to getting the most from your smartphones speakers.
Streaming services
Streaming services such as Spotify are arguably the most convenient means of getting your favourite tracks on your handset and sharing them with your friends or keeping yourself entertained on the daily commute.
With tariffs offering unlimited 4G mobile broadband, this has become more convenient than ever, as buffering is much less likely to be the issue it may have been with 3G.
If you want to get a clip up quickly to show a friend and don't subscribe to a service like Spotify, then you could always search for your tune of choice on YouTube.
Your favourite radio shows
With a smartphone you are effectively taking a radio with you wherever you go. If you have a favourite DJ whose show you don't want to miss out on, you don't have to.
With streaming services offered by most stations, you do not need to worry about being free at whatever time the show is transmitted, as you should be able to access it after broadcast as a podcast.
The rise of podcasts means you can also listen to any talk shows you may be following whenever you want- and this is a great way to pass the time in the gym or while out jogging.
Downloading music
With services like iTunes and Google Play featuring their own dedicated app, it is easier than ever to access music you've already purchased on your smartphone.
The cloud has made it possible for these apps to recognise your account from a variety of devices, so any tracks you buy and download on your desktop computer will be accessible from your mobile immediately.
Copying your music library to your smartphone
With all these options to hand, copying music from your computer onto your smartphone with a cable is fast becoming the old-fashioned way.
But if it is your preferred method, then it is often a simple case of hooking the device up to the computer, selecting which tracks you want to transfer on a program like iTunes and synching it up.
Music-dedicated smartphones
If you are seriously committed to having the best possible sound system with you wherever you are, you could always have a look at a specialised device such as the Marshall London.
Launched in the latter half of last year, the handset was created by the manufacturers behind the iconic Marshall amplifiers and headphones.
The firm hyperbolically claimed the device is the loudest on the earth – but the boast was not bass-less. Built with the true audiophile in mind, it offers crystal-clear playback of lossless FLAC files and dual speakers that use a dedicated hi-fi-grade sound card and enhanced bass technology.
An option for those who are happy with the smartphone they already have is to invest in a high quality pair of headphones – and there are plenty of those on offer too.

Adding effects that are straightforward to our pictures in Adobe Photoshop frequently adds an additional dimension to the total impact as well as is straightforward. Adobe Photoshop training are also available on some places in Australia where you can learn more about Photoshop and get a designing job that fits you.
In this picture of the robot that is Japanese, it essential to take out the robot from its surrounding backdrop. So we might make use of a variety of selection techniques to do. Digital images contain pixels (or squares) of tone and colour, and when we work with Photoshop we're manipulating those pixels, either by altering the colours, or tones, or duplicating pixels from some other regions. When the backdrop is an easy single colour or gradient mixture of two or more colours the simplest way would be to pick the Magic Wand tool ( piled below the Fast Selection tool in the toolbox) and click the backdrop.
A variety of pixels will likely be chosen, based on the Fortitude value towards the top Control panel. A superb typical fortitude is a pixel picked in addition to 32, which implies that, there are 32 darker tones picked, generally contiguous with each other depending on whether the Contiguous check box is ticked or not and 32 lighter. It generally is ticked. We're able to decrease the tolerance value if a smaller, tighter, choice is required by us.
Thus, we've chosen the robot's background, which in this scenario is the easiest item to choose. We'd then proceed to the very best Select menu and select Inverse, so revealing the robot itself as the pixel region that is chosen.
Instead, we may have used the Fast Selection tool, on its background or the robot. This tool acts just like a combination between a paintbrush and also the Magic Wand tool. We might correct the brush in the top left of the display, or by pressing on the square brackets on the computer keyboard we'd utilize a sizable brush to pick a smaller brush along with big regions for small-scale details.
We may also use any one of the Lasso tools, and sometimes even the Fast Mask or the most truly effective Mask & Select ( formerly known as Refine Border ) processes to pick the robot.
The following measure would be to copy and paste the robot utilizing the Edit menu that is most truly effective, so making a layer that is new. In addition, we have to modify the colour of the background layer to be able to start to see the glow effect – we could add a gradient or a solid colour mixture. To do the latter we selected the Gradient tool and would Choose All. Produce a background colour and also a foreground, choose the Linear or Radial alternative for gradient choice, and click and drag upon the width of the web page.
We're finally prepared to include a Glow Effect to the niche of the picture. We'd first pick the top layer. Notice the fx button in the underparts of the Layers panel; hover over this to begin to see the name Put In a Layer Style. We subsequently click this to select Outer Glow in the list that appears. Click the bottom left Preview button and move the dialog box to a side to determine the result. The default colour of the outer glow is yellowish, as a way to reset this colour to whatever we want but we could click the colour box. We might also correct Opacity sliders and the glow's Size. Their is also a parameter named Distribute which isn't useful and will compress the effect. The Preview button off and on to gauge the effect that glows. When we're met we hit on the OK button, at which stage we might note that we've added a sub-layer to the thing 's layer. When an effect must be corrected in a subsequent stage we might double click on this particular new sub-layer. The Effects dialog box opens and our adjustments are made by us.

What Might Happen? - TrainingApril 20 2015
Rinse & Repeat.
Most shampoo bottles recommend doing this for the best results. When you want the best results in reaching the unreached, the best method is Train & Multiply.
At the time Willy and Vicky moved to Tacloban City, training was not anywhere on their immediate radar. God had called them to be there for the people and to share their faith in Jesus.
They quickly discovered that preparation through training was necessary as the ministry was growing at a remarkable pace.
In June of 2014, they attended training in a process called Train & Multiply (T&M). When worked properly, this method is producing much fruit. The three-day training equipped Pastors Willy and Vicky to open many new doors in Tacloban City. Instead of trying to disciple everyone, they are now able to train a team. This is similar to the way Jesus demonstrated to us, working with the twelve disciples.
In January Pastors Willy and Vicky facilitated training for 13 different people. On the one end of the spectrum, they had very highly educated individuals (a college professor, a retired regional social worker, a teacher and a retired teacher, and a couple of barangay officials).
On the other end were individuals who struggled with the learning process. What a wild range of participants. Willy and Vicky did a superb job of handling both groups well. Excitement pulsated through the room when people shared their vision maps.
Willy and Vicky are presently working with groups in seven different areas. They could have 7-8 more areas if these lay people follow through on their visions.
Train & Multiply has been instrumental in One Mission Society and their partners starting 25,565 new worshiping groups in 2014. Pastors Willy and Vicky are a true testament to what might happen if we could mobilize ordinary people to go out into the harvest fields.

Hualien is a vibrant town on the east coast of Taiwan. Usually it's a base for tourists who want to discover the many scenic areas of the region, like the Taroko Gorge. We spent three days in the city, and by chance came upon one of the libraries located near the main station. Here is a link to the website dedicated to the libraries of the whole county.
The chief librarian soon came to us and very gently proposed a visit we had to shorten because of…the bus for Taroko Gorge. So this is a brief look at this library, and it certainly doesn't reflect all the services it delivers to the patrons, especially regarding online resources. First the librarian explained us that the library is 30 years old. It's really aging and a new building is on its way, I didn't understand when the current collections will move to this new location.
It's only possible in a few libraries in France, but here you can bring back your books 24 hours a day :
The entrance and periodical room, yes…the « V » is missing :
Zero floor, the study room :
Here is what a Dewey classification in traditional chinese looks like :
Second floor, the children's room :
Since my speaking chinese is kind of catastrophic, and that the librarian's english was barely better, we had a hard time to understand each other (and laughed a lot !), but this is what I understood with this taiwanese author : she's giving lectures in all the libraries of Hualien County :
You are in Asia, so as in trains, hotels and many public areas, you can find free hot water to boil your tea :
Too bad we couldn't visit this one in Taipei, we arrived too late :

Geophysical stamps 4: Seismology/
This is the last in a series of posts about some stamps I bought on eBay in May. I don't collect stamps, but these were irresistible to me. They are 1980-vintage East German stamps, not with cartoons or schematic illustrations but precisely draughted drawings of geophysical methods. I have already written about the the gravimeter, the sonic tool, and the geophone stamps; today it's time to finish off and cover the 50 pfennig stamp, depicting global seismology.
← The 50 pfennig stamp in the series of four shows not an instrument, but the method of deep-earth seismology. Earthquakes' seismic traces, left-most, are the basic pieces of data. Seismologists analyse the paths of these signals through the earth's crust (Erdkruste), mantle (Mantel) and core (Erdkern), right-most. The result is a model of the earth's deep interior, centre. Erdkrustenforschung translates as earth crust surveying. The actual size of the stamp is 43 × 26 mm.
To petroleum geophysicists and interpreters, global seismology may seem like a poor sibling of reflection seismology. But the science began with earthquake monitoring, which is centuries old. Earthquakes are the natural source of seismic energy for global seismological measurements; Zoeppritz wrote his equations about earthquake waves. (I don't know, but I can imagine seismologists feeling a guilty pang of anticipation when hearing of even quite deadly earthquakes.)
The M9.2 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake of 2004 lasted for an incredible 500 seconds—compared to a few seconds or tens of seconds for most earthquakes felt by humans. Giant events like this are rare (once a decade), and especially valuable because of the broad band of frequencies and very high amplitudes they generate. This allows high-fidelity detection by precision digital instruments like the Streckeisen STS-1 seismometer, positioned all over the world in networks like the United States' Global Seismographic Network, and the meta-network coordinated by the Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks, or FDSN. And these wavefields need global receiver arrays.
The basic structure of the earth was famously elucidated decades ago by these patterns of wave reflection and refraction through the earth's fundamentally concentric spheres of the solid inner core, liquid outer core, viscous mantle, and solid crust. For example, the apparent inability of the outer core to support S-waves is the primary evidence for its interpretation as a liquid. Today, global seismologists are more concerned with the finer points of this structure, and eking more resolution out of the intrinsically cryptic filter that is the earth. Sound familiar? What we do in exploration seismology is just a high-resolution, narrow-band, controlled-source extension of these methods.

If you're in search for the hottest lipstick shade to wear in 2018, look no further. We've found the lip look you absolutely need to try right now: vibrant violet. This trendy hue can take just about any style from drab to fab—in as long as it takes you to coat your lips in color. We're sharing not one, but two ways to add violet lipstick into your makeup routine (including the best face makeup and eye makeup to pair it with). Keep reading to find out how to rock a pumped-up purple shade, in both a glossy and a matte finish.
If you're partial to a glossy lip look, this one's for you. The star of the show? None other than the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Paints/Lip in Violet Twist. The seriously shiny purple lipstick is ideal for whenever you want to make a statement.
Step 1: Apply BB cream. Work your way from the base up. That means kicking things off with BB cream, a multitasking beauty product that can save you time on your makeup routine. Using your fingers, blend the L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream into your skin.
Step 2: Brush on blush. Often overlooked, blush can actually be a key cosmetic to use anytime you're dolling yourself up. Swipe one on the apples of cheeks to liven up the appearance of your complexion with a touch of color. Rather than sticking with standard shades of pink or peach, tie your look together with a pigmented plum option.
Step 3: Get your glow on. Your cheeks aren't complete just yet. Illuminate the look of your face with the L'Oréal Paris True Match™ Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer. Dot the liquid highlighter above your cheekbones, blending out with the pad of your finger. Place the highlighter down the bridge of your nose, along your cupid's bow, and on the inner corners of your eyes to give yourself even more of a faux glow.
Step 4: Add eye shadow. When wearing a bold lip color, it's a good rule of thumb to use neutral hues elsewhere. For eye shadow, stick with neatural tones and nudes, like the ones found in the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Monos Eyeshadows collection. Place a light shade, like Little Beige Dress, on your lids and below your brows, before blending a matte brown, like Acro-Matte, into your crease.
Step 5: Tightline. The "invisible eyeliner" effect—tightlining—makes for fuller-looking lashes, without needing to perfect your liquid liner skills. Pull up gently on your eyelid to expose the upper waterline, where the base of your lashes are. With your eyeliner (choose a pencil that's super-soft and doesn't tug), carefully line directly on the base of your lashes, filling in any gaps between individual hairs. Try the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner in Black.
Step 6: Coat lashes. Mascara is nothing short of a necessity, and this look is no exception. Sweep your favorite formula from the base of your lashes to the tips, and add an extra coat for extra emphasis. You can't go wrong with the L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara.
Step 7: Apply violet lipstick. It's time! We can't forget the most important part of a purple lip look—violet lipstick. Pick up the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Paints/Lip in Violet Twist, and use the tip of the doe foot applicator to outline your lips, then fill them in. There you go: your pout is now perfectly purple.
Step 8: Spritz setting spray. What good is a makeup look that isn't locked in place? Mist your face with the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray, using "X" and "T" motions to help set your makeup.
Moving on! For this lip look, the scene stealer is the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Matte Lipstick in Matte-Jestic. The rich puple is not only the shade of the season, but it comes in a matte formula that won't dry out your lips. To rock this matte violet lipstick, follow these simple steps.
Step 1: Apply foundation. Match the finish of your foundation to your lipstick, reaching for matte makeup, like the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation. Buff the foundation into your skin using the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender to achieve smooth, even coverage.
Step 2: Set with face powder. If you want your look to last, follow foundation with powder. So, apply the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Powder overtop of your foundation.
Step 3: Brush on blush. To help keep your face from falling flat, apply a blush with a bit of luminosity to your cheeks. Try the L'Oréal Paris True Match™ Blush.
Step 4: Contour and highlight. Define your face with the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Contour Palette. Start with the lighter shade, highlighting and adding extra dimension to the high points of your face. Then, accentuate the contours of your face, like your cheekbones, with the darker powder.
Step 5: Create a cat eye. Keeping the rest of your makeup simple, allows your eyeliner and lipstick make a statement. With a felt tip eyeliner, like the L'Oréal Paris Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner, draw a thin line along your lashes, extending it into a sharp wing.
Step 6: Coat your lashes. Don't leave out your lashes. For big, bold lashes, grab the L'Oréal Paris Voluminous X Fiber Mascara and get to work. It features a black primer on one end and a fiber-infused mascara on the other.
Step 7: Line your lips. You've almost made it to the end of the line—but first, lip liner. Find a shade similar to your lipstick (such as the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Matte Lip Liner in Strike a Matte-ch), and use the lip liner to prime and line your lips.
Step 8: Apply violet lipstick. Put purple on your pout using the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Matte Lipstick in Matte-Jestic. Apply starting in the center of your upper lip, then work from the center to outer edges of your lips, following the contour of your mouth. Perfect: Now you can pucker up!
Now that you know how to wear bold violet lipstick, what about rocking purple on other areas of your face? Head on over to our article, Our Best Purple Eye Shadows, for tips on doing just that.

Standard engineering practice for the equipment you design may call for a roller chain or gear drives. Replicating these solutions feels safe. On the other hand, design changes pose risk and expense. So where do you find solutions that minimize risk and cost while offering a marketable advantage? The answer lies in drive conversions already made by industrial customers who are using your equipment or machinery.
In addition to reviewing your drive design options, this white paper includes two case studies demonstrating how replacing older technologies with synchronous belt drives gave manufacturing facilities an edge in the market. Read how one bottling facility saved $330,000 per year by converting chain to Gates Poly Chain® GT® Carbon® belt drive systems. The belts don't stretch, require no lubrication, have less wear and last longer.
Field experience is the true test of a drive system. When high maintenance or frequent replacement of drive components becomes the norm, it is time to reassess your drive design.

Commenting on the HHS contraceptive mandate, the director of media relations of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is urging President Barack Obama and his administration to "render unto God the things that are God's."
Sister Mary Ann Walsh writes:
Jesus is often quoted for his saying to "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." The rest of the quote could be a message to the Obama Administration: "Render unto God the things that are God's."
The current tensions over religious freedom come down to a simple fact: the First Amendment guarantees free exercise of religion. That includes the right of Catholic and other religious institutions to define and carry out their ministry …
It is the Church, not Caesar, that defines ministry. We Catholics are called to serve others because we're Catholic, not because they are. We help others because of their need, not their creed. For the government to hold fast to its new definition of ministry, one crafted by the American Civil Liberties Union, reflects deafness to the Constitution that is unbecoming to the man sworn to defend it.
Sister Walsh adds:
There has been some talk of accommodation, whereby (it is claimed) some Catholic institutions would not have to pay for services that violate their religious beliefs. Apparently, their insurance companies would pay for the services instead. One doesn't have to be a cynic to question where the money to pay for those services will come from, as the only pool of available funds seems to be the premiums subsidized by the objecting religious institutions. And the government's problematic definition of religious ministry still remains. There also is the question of what self-insured Catholic organizations are supposed to do. What good does it do to say the dirty work will be done by the insurer rather than the employer, if they are one and the same?
The Administration's intrusive decision about what does and does not constitute religious ministry should make every American pause. What falls after freedom of religion? Freedom of the press? Will Caesar tell you what you have to print or air?

|Pond Heron sp
Will have to wait a few months to know which pond heron
No new posts for a few days as internet has been out of action for five days, combined with celebrating our wedding anniversary, wife's birthday and nursing a hangover (rare these days). On both Saturday and Sunday morning I wandered around the local patch, the biggest surprise was shortly after arriving on Saturday morning a Flamingo flew over high heading south, it looked like a greater but views were distant. I do not know what the origins of the bird is, I don't think it is on the Thai list and it is most likely an escape, though it was fully winged and looked in good condition, I am sure many of the zoo's and bird parks in Thailand keep them, the nearest ones to Suphanburi I am aware are held at the bird park in Chai Nat.
Otherwise birding around the local patch seem to have settled into fairly standard winter birding (though it is still 30 degrees or more daily), but with waters levels constantly changing throughout the winter no doubt a few surprises will appear. Best sightings over the two days were on Saturday two Freckle-breasted Woodpeckers, Watercock, Baillion's Crake, two Bluethroats and a two Red Avadavat and on Sunday three Painted Storks, four Painted Snipe, two Grey-headed Lapwing, Watercock and five Golden Weaver. Highest counts of commoner birds over the two days included three Black-caped Kingfisher, 5 Ruddy-breasted Crake, 13 Pintail Snipe, 11 Wood Sandpiper, two Green Sandpiper, eight Little Ringed Plovers, two Eastern Marsh Harrier, Bhraminy Kite, Siberian Rubythroat, four Yellow-vented Bulbul, 11 Pallas's Grasshopper, 30 Dusky and 35 Oriental Reed Warbler and 100 Baya Weaver.

Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler
|Red-wattled Lalwing
This morning visited the local patch for the first time in nearly a month, there was very little standing water left on site apart from one large fish pond, the site being dominated by a mono culture of waist high rice. There had clearly been an increase in the number of warblers, especially Locustella warblers with at least 12 Pallas's Grasshopper and 4 Lanceolated Warblers seen some of which were almost trodden on before flushing. Other warblers present included 20 Oriental and 8 Black-browed Reed Warbler, a Thick-billed Warbler and at least a dozen Yellow-browed. A few damp corners and ditches remained where there were still a few waders including 8 Pintail Snipe, 22 Common Snipe, 5 Wood Sandpiper, 30 Black-winged Stilt, single Little-ringed Plover and Common Sandpiper. Other notable counts and species included 15 Common Kingfisher and 7 Black-capped Kingfisher, 3 Ruddy-breasted Crake, Whiskered Tern, 12 Yellow and 7 Cinnamon Bittern, 12 Plain-backed Sparrow and 8 Asian Golden Weaver.

|Black-headed Woodpecker
Mae Ping National Park
by Michael Rooney
On Tuesday and Wednesday (November 13th and 14th), we spent two full days birding and butterfly watching in Mae Ping National Park mostly along the Thung Kik campsite road. On both days birding was often slow but over the two days we did manage to see most of the key species, one of the commonest birds was the stunning Black-headed Woodpecker, with around 25 noted on both days and many more heard. Grey-headed Parakeets were also fairly common on both days, especially along the first two kilometers of the road with around 20 noted, though getting good views was very difficult as birds zipped through the trees at a hundred miles an hour. Also seen along the Thung Kik road on the first day included two White-bellied Woodpeckers, Lesser Yellownape, Greater Flameback, two Red Junglefowl, three Thick-billed Green Pigeon, five Oriental Turtle Dove, two Rufous Treepie, three Red-billed Blue Magpie, several White-crowned Laughingthrush and three Black-winged Cuckooshrike. Mid day we spent a couple of hours at the campsite and track beyond, where two Burmese Shrikes, an Oriental Honey Buzzard and a Oriental Hobby were seen. Mid afternoon we decided to check out the Kor Luang Waterfall, though birding here was poor roadside birds on the way included three Rufous-winged Buzzard, a Collared Falconet and a group of four Crab Eating Mongoose crossed the road.

Mae Ping National Park
Wednesday morning we were back in the park by dawn, just after the HQ three Red Junglefowl quickly crossed the track. We spent the entire day birding the Thung Kik Road and the side track to the Padam Padeang Ranger Station, a similar mix of birds to the previous day were noted, with a few additions, three Black Baza were in a dead tree at the start of the road, with a fourth a little further along and five Collared Flaconet were huddled together on a dead tree. Not far from here a group of around 15 Common Woodshrike were seen, along with a similar sized group further along the track. Three Burmese Nuthatch were seen at two stops and three Greater Yellownape were amongst a mixed group of woodpeckers which included two White-bellied Woodpeckers. Once again several Red-billed Blue Magpie and Rufous Treepie were seen along with good numbers of White-crowned Laughingthrush.

Black Stork
Sunday late afternoon whilst driving out of Chiang Dao we had two Black Storks fly low over the road just to the west of the town. These may have been the same two birds seen over Doi Lang earlier in the month and were an unexpected Thai tick. This morning we left Chiang Dao and headed towards Li and Mae Ping National Park, en route three Red-billed Blue Magpie flew across the road near Mae Ngat.

Also recorded were four Richard's, a Paddyfield and six Red-throated Pipit, Bluethroat, 15 Common Snipe, four Pintail Snipe, Common Sandpiper, Dusky Warbler, Wryneck and 30 Chestnut-tailed Starling.
There and Back Again
|White-headed Bubul
Chiang Dao
The first part of the trail was very steep and slippery, birds along this section included two Wedge-tailed Green Pigeon, three Grey-headed Parakeet, 30 Striated Yuhina, Oriental turtle Dove, Grey Treepie, a flock of 30 Long-tailed Minivet and a male Large Niltava.
The rest of the trail passed through a mixture of forest and open scrubby grass covered slopes. Black Bulbuls were very common in fruiting trees with around 300 present along with smaller numbers of Mountain Bulbul, two Maroon Orioles, several Orange-bellied Leafbirds and many Spangled Drongo. Higher along the trail relatively few Black Bulbuls were seen, instead higher altitudes bulbuls dominated with Crested Finchbills seemingly everywhere with at least 100 noted, also present were half a dozen Brown-breasted Bulbuls, several Straited and near the summit at least 60 White-headed Bulbuls all of which were flycatching from treetops. Seven White-bellied Redstarts were either seen or heard, Hill Prinias were abundant in tall grass along with four Abberant Bush Warblers, several Grey Bushchats, two Spot-throated Babbler, three Chestnut Buntings, up to a dozen Buff-throated Warblers and seven Grey-crowned Warbler. In the same habitat there was also three species of scimiters babblers, with many White-browed, four Rusty-cheeked and two Red-billed seen along with 15 Spectacled Barwings and several Silver-eared Laughingthrush.
Where the trail passed through patches of forest, several large feeding flocks were encounted with Rufous-winged and Grey-cheeked Fulvetta being common and one large flock included 20 Silver-eared Mesia, four Yellow-cheeked Tit, a Yellow-browed Tit, several Buff-barred Warblers and a Pallas's Warbler. Also recorded in these forest patches were two Pygmy Wren Babblers, a Slaty-bellied Tesia, Rufous-bellied Niltava, Little Pied Flycatcher and a Slaty Blue Flycatcher. Gould's Sunbirds were everywhere especially near the summit, where many Straited Swallows fed overhead along with a few Cook's Swifts and hundreds of Himalyan Swiflets.
Others species seen along the trail included two Mountain Bamboo Partridge, several Bay and Grey-capped Pygmy Woodpecker, Great and Golden-throated Barbet, Collared Owlet, a Slender-billed Oriole, White-throated Fantail,Velvet-fronted Nuthatch, several Hume's Warblers, three Mountain Tailorbirds, hundreds of White-eyes with those seen well all appearing to be Japanese and both Rufous-fronted and Grey-throated Babblers.

Open-billed Stork
Yesterday had various things to do in Chiang Mai, but before leaving Chiang Mai did have an adult male Amur Falcon over the garden again and a Crested Goshawk. I was surprised to see a flock of 50 Open-billed Storks over paddies on the edge of Chiang Mai the first time I have seen this species in the north. Open-bills are increasing in Thailand but are generally scarce if not rare in the north but this year has seen many more than usual around Chiang Mai, with up to 600 recorded one day in October. Also Common Buzzard in the same area and a male Eastern Marsh Harrier across the road near Chiang Dao.
Hume's Pheasant and Giant Nuthatch
|Puff-throated Babbler
Chiang Dao
by Michael Rooney
Tuesday made the pre-dawn pilgrimage up to the DYK sub station at Chiang Dao, the first bird of the morning was a Blue-whisting Thrush which called from alongside the track. Just before the substation after the last of the switchback bends, a stunning male Hume's Pheasant walked down the track in front of the truck. We were then joined by three other birders who were delighted when within a few minutes I pointed out two Giant Nuthatch on a dead pine tree and it was still not even 630, we would later go onto see a total of four Giant Nuthatch and hear at least another four. One of the birders whom had joined use was from Turkey and he thought it likely that he was the first Turkish birder ever to see Giant Nuthatch!!.
We then spent the next hour and a half birding the rest of the track into the sub station, it was fairly busy, best birds four Grey-headed Parakeet, two Slender-billed Orioles, Maroon Oriole, three Greater Yellownape, Striped-breasted Woodpecker, 2 Chestnut-vented Nuthatch, three Blyth's Shrike Babbler, 2 Large Cuckooshrike, Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo, Grey-chinned and Long-tailed Minivet and we also heard Bay Woodpecker and Long-tailed Broadbill. We had a quick breakfast and wander around the sub station grounds where there was a Dark-sided flycatcher, three Burmese Shrikes, several Mountain Imperial Pigeon, Orinetal Turtle Dove, Great Tit, Grey-backed Shrike, Gould's and Black-throated Sunbird and a flock of 15 Striated Yuhina. Large numbers of Fork-tailed Swift were noted overhead including at least a dozen of the distinct Cook's Swift. A skulking flycatcher in scrub was probably Slaty Blue but failed to show well enough to clinch id.
We then headed back down the track and arranged for the driver to meet us several hours later, by now birding was very quiet, which was not helped by low cloud occasionally drifting in. We did manage to see large numbers of phylloscopus warblers, including good numbers of Davidson's, half a dozen Claudia's and at least one Hume's. Amongst one flock of warblers we had good views of a Sulphur-breasted Warbler and during the morning we saw at least 5 Marten's and three Grey-crowned Warblers. With the sun eventually burning the cloud away the birding became even slower and our attention shifted to the good selection of butterflies present, more of these in later posts. We still encounted occasional birds including a female Chestnut-bellied Rock Thrush, several Little Pied flycatcher, Eurasian Jay, Orange-bellied Leafbirds, four Grey-capped Pygmy Woodpecker, two Maroon orioles, Black-winged Cuckooshrike, Great Barbet, Flavescent and Black Bulbul, numerous Fire-breasted Flowerpecker, Gould's Sunbird, Rufous-fronted and Puff-throated Babbler and heard Bar-backed Partridge calling loudly from several places and up to six Collared Owlets.
Lower down the track a stop near one of the villages produced a Blue-bearded Bee-eater, Japanese White-eye, White-crowed forktail, Ashy Bulbul, a dozen Bar-winged Flycatcher Shrike, White and Grey Wagtail. We returned to Malee's by 5pm having seen around 80 species, it was here just before dusk that a huge Spot-bellied Eagle Owl flew into tall trees just above the garden.

Amur Falcon
|Doi Chiang Dao
Sunday and Monday I was busy doing mostly non birding things around Chiang Dao, however my bins were never very far away and I did manage to see a number of species either in the garden or over it. On Monday a male Amur Falcon headed high north over the garden, followed a little later by a Peregrine. A pair of Blue-bearded Bee-eater were present in trees by the entrance road into the resort and in scrub at the opposite end of the resort there was a splendid adult male Siberian Blue Robin. Monday morning a flock of a dozen Thick-billed Green Pigeon zipped over and in the evening Spot-billed Eagle Owl, Collared and Mountain Scops Owl were heard.

An international rights group is raising concerns about Uganda?s first trial of a former leader of the rebel group known as the Lord?s Resistance Army.
In a report released Monday, Human Rights Watch says that legal and organizational problems threaten to jeopardize the pursuit of justice in the trial of Thomas Kwoyelo.
The defendant was taken into custody in 2009 after fighting for the LRA. The group is notorious for committing rights abuses during the two decade-long conflict in northern Uganda. Several of its leaders are wanted by the International Criminal Court.
But Kwoyelo is being tried by a Ugandan court known as the International Crimes Division, or ICD. His is the first case the ICD is handling.
Elise Keppler of Human Rights Watch said it is important that as many trials as possible be conducted on a national level instead of at the International Criminal Court.
?Ideally, trials for all crimes, including the most serious crimes, should be conducted nationally. That is the best way to ensure that they have meaning with the communities most affected by the crimes, and that they can build respect for rule of law in the country. It is vital for national courts to ultimately be in the position to have these kinds of cases,? said Keppler.
In Kwoyelo?s case, though, the international watchdog group points to several problems. One is Uganda?s Amnesty Act, which has been applied to some other LRA fighters. Keppler said no one should ever be granted amnesty for the types of crimes of which Kwoyelo is accused.
?Uganda has, essentially, a blanket amnesty for those who renounce rebellion in Uganda. And of course, amnesties for the worst crimes - for crimes against humanity and genocide - are wholly inconsistent with international law," said Keppler. "This is obviously a huge challenge for the work of the International Crimes Division. How it can move forward with trying to pursue justice for the most serious crimes in the face of this domestic amnesty
Stephen Oola, a lawyer with the Kampala-based Refugee Law Project, said that because the LRA is still active, there is little chance of changing the Amnesty Act at this time.
?The politicians are in a Catch-22 situation. They don?t know exactly whether or not they can get the LRA bigwigs. If not, do they need to negotiate with them? If so, would tampering with the Amnesty Act take away that incentive to negotiate? No one would come back home if they know they are going to be prosecuted the next day,? said Oola.
Human Right Watch says other problems for the trial include inadequate resources for the defense, a lack of witness protection programs, and insufficient outreach to explain the trial to the local community.
The rights group says it also is important that the court be allowed to try members of the Ugandan Army, some of whom have been accused of serious crimes during the conflict in northern Uganda.
Lawyer Oola agrees that trying army officers is important, to demonstrate a commitment to accountability. He said, however, that is unlikely to happen in Uganda under the current administration.
?The only way you can gauge whether the government has the political will is if it allows the war crimes division to try its own agents. I don?t see that happening in this particular government. That kind of will is still lacking, and is not about to change,? said Oola.
Although Kwoyelo is the first person to be tried by the ICD, Oola said many people in Uganda already have the impression that the court will be used only to prosecute those fighting against the government. National trials are indeed important, he said, but only under the right conditions.
?If well managed, it would have a very powerful impact on the people, but if mismanaged the result is the opposite. Initially I thought there was a lot of enthusiasm about Kwoyelo?s trial, but I?m not sure that is the feeling now," said Oola. "Initially it was seen as some serious step towards accountability. Lately a lot of people think it?s basically the usual pattern of victor?s justice. That makes justice lose its meaning.?
Spokesman for the Uganda judiciary, Erias Kisawuzi, said the Human Rights Watch report makes a number of valid points, and he welcomes its recommendations.
?By and large the report is a reflection of what is on the ground, and it also has proposed quite a number of reforms, which I think are very timely. If they are addressed I think it will go a long way in having the suspect or any other person tried in a fair and impartial manner,? said Kisawuzi.
Keppler of Human Rights Watch said it will take firm political backing from Uganda's government for justice to be served to Kwoyelo. She added that despite certain problems, the trial nonetheless offers important lessons to other countries considering prosecuting their own serious crimes.
Rights Group Sees Problems in Uganda's First LRA Trial
An international rights group is raising concerns about Uganda?s first trial of a former leader of the rebel group known as the Lord?s Resistance Army.

Last Friday was Kate's Birthday! In honor of this momentous occasion, we went to Pour House for some celebratory drinks after work. On our way to the bar, we ran into Spike. He was a contestant on Top Chef and Top Chef All-Stars and owns a burger place and a pizza place near my house. His newest endeavor is a Steak and Frites place that he will be opening on the same block too. If you are ever in DC check out Good Stuff and We The Pizza...a Black and White milkshake from Good Stuff might be one of the best things ever.
***On a side note, I am a celebrity stalker. So the second I saw Spike I knew I wanted a picture...I interrupted the conversation he was having with some other dude...told him it was Kate's birthday...and gave the camera to the guy he was talking to. I have no shame. He loved it.
|Me, Spike, and Kate
We invited Spike to go to Pour House with us...but he had some things to do. So we kept on our way and started celebrating Kate's Birthday!
|Kate and her husband Matt
|Make a wish!
|Me and the birthday girl
|Shots shot shots! Kate was scared...
|Kate, Josh and Vanessa
Josh and I stayed for a few hours and then decided we were jonesing for some take out Chinese. So we ordered some take out and spent the rest of the evening on his couch...I slept and he watched TV.
The next morning we woke up bright and early for Saturday's 8am WOD.
100 Pull Ups
100 KB Swings
100 Double Unders
100 Overhead Squats
If you wanted to scale it you could break up the reps. So I did 6 rounds of 15 each and one round of 10. I used a 26 pound Kettle Bell for the first 5 rounds and then went down to 18 pounds. I also used a 45 pound bar for the squats. It was killer, but I love the Saturday workouts. You always feel like you really accomplished something when it is over!
After CF, Josh made us an excellent breakfast of eggs, fresh fruit, and BACON...one of my favorite things ever. Since it was such a beautiful day we knew we wanted to be outside so we went over to Top Golf to hit a few balls and have some beers. In general I do not like going to the driving range because I would much rather play a game of golf than practice. Top Golf is the perfect solution for someone like me because you play a game while practicing...and they have Bud Light Lime...yum!
|My Golf Coach
|Every time I tried to hit my ball to the green flag I would hit this little truck. Luckily it would then bounce off the truck and into the hole! Points for me!!!
Golfing was a bit difficult though after the morning WOD, and I was exhausted when we were finished. We went back to Josh's place to take naps, shower, and get ready for Mass.
Mass was at 5pm and I love the Priest. He gave a great sermon about a Priest, Maximilian Kolbe, who gave his life during the Holocaust for someone he did not know. The Nazis tried to starve him to death, but he kept praying and kept living. Ultimately the Nazis euthanized him. At his Canonization ceremony years later, the man he saved at Auschwitz attended with his family. It is inspirational story of unselfish love and faith, and I left Mass with a great reminder of how blessed I am. A little reminder is needed every now and then.
After church, Josh and I met some of his friends for a night in India. We went to Aroma for dinner which is an Indian restaurant near Josh's house, and then we went and saw "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" which is a movie about some peeps in their golden years that move to India from London. The movie was FANTASTIC...similar to Love Actually but with slightly older people but so good. The food at Aroma was even better...I wish I had taken some pictures of it, but I was caught up in excellent conversation with Josh, Hannah, and Brandon!
The next morning, Josh went and played golf EARLY. I woke up, made myself a yummy breakfast, and watched some TV. I also called my Mommasita and wished her a Happy Mother's Day. Next year I hope to celebrate with her in person!
|My Mother's Day Breakfast
At about noon, I went to the ATM and started walking around Eastern Market. Josh happened to get back right then as well and he thought we needed a bit of a snack. There are tons of food options on the weekend at EM from crepes to pizza. We decided on.....MORE INDIAN. It smelled so good we couldn't turn it down despite the long line, and it was well worth it!
|Josh's Lamb Curry in Bread
|My Lamb Curry over Basmati Rice
Alycyn met us in EM, and then she and I went to pick up Emily to go get pedicures. After getting pampered we finally got a tour of Phil and Emily's new place in Glover Park. So precious! I loved every bit of it, and I can't wait to see the progression of it as they continue to move in and decorate. Check out her blog about fixing up their house here: House Poor/Rich Life
Before we had some wine on their front porch, we purchased some lemonade from the little girl next door. I used to have lemonade stands regularly...as in like every weekend I was with my Momma (lemonade stands on a ranch probably wouldn't get to many customers.) Because I had so many loyal customers when I was younger, I always stop by stands when I see them now. This little girl was donating all of her earnings to the Zoo. Also the lemonade was only 25 cents...back in my day, I charge a buck and kept the money. To each
his her own.
|What a cutie! Loved her.
|Emily and Phil...the happy home owners
|Their cute place...and cute Alycyn waving!
After drinks (Josh had joined us later), he and I made our way back to his place. He grilled some steaks for dinner, and I whipped up a cake for Kate's birthday.
By the time we watched Game of Thrones I was exhausted so I hit the hay, and that was the end of another great weekend in DC.

You definitely would have noticed Dr. Oz on the television promoting his latest invention; a latest dietary capsule, made from the best green coffee beans extract. These capsules have brought about a revolution in the market. Just as they name indicates they are green in colour and are made from coffee beans that are plucked when they are tender and fresh and green in colour. Also to retain its therapeutic values these beans are not roasted. Hence, they remain green in colour unlike the other coffee beans that are roasted till they turn brown and then used to brew coffee. The fresh green coffee beans have chlorogenic acid in its natural form. This compound upon roasting gets destroyed.
In the year 2012 April, Dr. Oz invited Dr. Lindsey Duncan; a neuropathic and certified nutritionist. Together these two health practitioners promoted Green Coffee Bean Extract (GCBE) to be a very effective, safe and excellent means to lose weight. However, their only condition was that only the most purest GCBE was to be used without any additives to it. Infact, they recommended that the capsule that contained the medicine also had to be made of vegetables. During the research, the most vital trials using GCBE were done by the renowned Dr. Joe Vinson, Bryan Burnham and Mysore Nagendran.
This team conducted a trial on 16 obese people by giving them GCBE each day. Every person was given a calculated diet of 2400 calories per day, even though it was above the recommended average diet. Also, none of them were asked to do any exercise and yet they lost weight. Upon calculation, they realised that in 12 weeks tenure, 17 pounds turned out to be the average weight loss, which meant a 10.5% reduction in body weight and 0.16% decrease in body fat. Finally, all the doctors and the research team were convinced that if pure green coffee bean extract was consumed each day along with a balanced diet and proper exercise, people would definitely lose weight. Infact GCBE would be the most effective, cheap and harmless method to lose weight.
During further research, some people were given higher doses while the others were given lower doses. This study was mainly carried out to determine the exact dosage for a person looking to lose weight. Based on the derived results, they concluded that 800 milligrams if GCBE per day was enough for a person to lose weight and even suggested that for optimum results this dosage be split into to two of 400 milligrams each and be taken twice a day, firstly 30 mins before breakfast and 30 mins before dinner. Though it was not compulsory for the consumers to follow timings and doses, they had to take it regularly for optimum results. The capsule shouldn't be consumed with food and should be taken half an hour prior to meal with a big glass of water. Even during the day, it was recommended that they consume excess water so that it would aid the body in flushing out the fat from the body. This capsule could be taken along with other vitamin tablets but if the consumer were on a specific medication, they had to consult their physician before they consumed this capsule.
This capsule reduced weight by increasing the metabolism, decreasing sugar levels in body and enhancing burning of fat in the body. Thus, by consuming this capsule one could not only get rid of excessive fat but also avoid other diseases like diabetes, tumour and heart disorders. In the end, GCBE proved to be the most effective method to treat the biggest health problem existing today; Obesity.

A month ago, graham cracker company Honey Maid released an ad that featured loving modern families of all kinds, including same-sex and multiracial. Naturally, the hate mail came pouring in — the evangelical American Decency Foundation said that Satan was behind the commercial, and One Million Moms said the company should be ashamed of itself.
But Honey Maid decided to do something lovely and productive with the hate mail. Above, the touching results.
