The Cannes Film Festival kicked off today, and if the celebrity red carpet gowns we've seen on day one are any indication we're in for a festival of fantastic, OMG-worthy gowns. Now this is how you do major glitz and glam, ladies.
Carey Mulligan, star of that tiny little film you may have heard of (The Great Gastby, duh), chose a blush satin Dior couture gown for the film's premiere. It's a little reminiscent of a gown Gwyneth Paltrow has worn in the past but beautiful none the less.
Brit-It Girl and model Cara Delevingne (unsurprisingly) chose Burberry for the night's festivities. Her black silk and lace plunging-neckline gown was styled with Chopard jewels.
Zhang Ziyi stood out from the Cannes pack in a navy and fuchsia pink patterned strapless top and black pants straight from the Dior couture runway. Props to her for breaking the mold!
While she might as well be the Princess of Prints, Solange proves that she can do more than just that in a very "Katniss Everdeen Girl on Fire"-type dress by Stéphane Rolland. The caramel hue looks marvelous against her skin, right?
The film festival juror killed it in Dior couture. Between the floral embroidery and strapless construction, Kidman in this dress looks all but flawless.
On Monday I dubbed Naomie Harris one to watch at Cannes, and here's why. The British actress stuns in a Calvin Klein Collection silver beaded strapless gown.
Lana Del Rey looks like she felt the Gatsby spirit in a black-and-white gown and Veronica Lake waves. The 26-year-old star was tapped to sing at the opening ceremony.
Freida Pinto is pretty in pink Gucci. She wore a custom silk chiffon halter gown that was cinched at the waist with a majorly embellished belt.
Oscar de la Renta had the pleasure of dressing The Great Gatsby's Isla Fisher. I've said it once and I'll say it again: I love a redhead in red.
Julianne Moore went with designer favorite Dior couture, swapping out the pumps it was shown with on the runway for a pair of silver sandals.
Fan Bingbing made her mark on the red carpet in custom Louis Vuitton. The strapless gown boasted a mega-train that would make any princess bride jealous.
Me-oh-my...if I look half as good as Cindy Crawford does at 47, I'll be a very lucky woman. The supermodel showed off her assets in a white Roberto Cavalli gown.
Whew! That's just day one, dolls! Who else is crazy excited to see what the next week and a half have in store? Who wore your favorite looks?

One thing that I have learned as we have walked through different people in the lineage of Jesus is that the Bible make no effort to hide it's scars. There are people in the Bible who do not necessarily have to be there. Scripture could just as easily have glossed over them with a passing mention. In fact, Scripture does that with so many people. The book of Numbers is nothing but a long list of people who get a quick mention but nothing else. Something like: "Bill lived and had these kids," and that is all we know. At some point in time a guy named Bill was alive and had kids.
But there are people that have their whole story told in Scripture; or at least a part of their story that makes it feel like it is the whole story. People who I feel pretty confident would have rather been glossed over with just a passing mention. People who have an embarrassing story. A story they are probably ashamed to remember, much less record it for the rest of time.
This has brought two questions to my mind. 1.) Why does Scripture make sure to include the broken, bruised and shameful stories? 2.) If Scripture makes no effort to hide its scars, then why do we as the church put so much effort into convincing people that we are perfect?
Answering question one makes me think of Christmas with my family. All the moms and cousins would gather around and put together puzzles. Not small puzzles, but large complicated puzzles of Thomas Kinkade paintings. I was never allowed to help because I wasn't skilled enough to work the puzzle, even though I had many small puzzles that I had memorized. The more pieces the puzzle is broken into, the more it reveals the skill of the one putting it back together. God's greatest works of redemption are not those with perfect comfortable lives. His greatest master pieces display His ability to take something totally broken and put it back together.
Answering question two makes us acknowledge the truth in question one. We know we are broken, but we don't want others to know it too. We must reach the place in our walk with Christ that our confidence lies in our Savior's ability to put us back together. Only then can we be honest with one another about: 1.) how broken we really are, and 2.) how great God really is.
Our brokenness reveals the greatness of His redemptive work.

Diwali, which is today - Wednesday, November 11, marks the start of the Hindu New year and a warning has been issued to residents to be extra vigilant.
Nottinghamshire police community cohesion inspector Gurmit Kaur said: "The festival of Diwali is a time for celebration. We want to keep it that way. On Diwali Day make sure you are doing all you can to protect your jewellery.
"You hold it dear, it's been in the family for years. Please keep it safe. If you are thinking of going out, take a moment and think about how secure it is.
"We do not want you to stop wearing your jewellery but please try to be discreet in public places, where there are a lot of people around.
"Whether it's at home or on your person, be aware that while it of great sentimental value to you, it is simply cash value to thieves.
"We have increased patrols during the festival in a bid to deter and disrupt criminals, but you can help us by taking on board our crime prevention advice and remaining vigilant."
If you do open your windows, make sure they are on a locked latch, and don't leave anything of value within reach.
If you are planning to be away from home or to travel abroad for any length of time, please make arrangements to leave your jewellery safe, either with friends or family or stored securely away from your home."
Police have reminded people to help protect their jewellery to photgraph it and upload them to www.immobilise.com so, if they are stolen and recovered them, there is a better chance of getting it back.
Always report suspicious activity around houses to police. If you suspect someone of dealing in stolen jewellery call Crimestoppers anonymously 0800 555 111.

Advocaat focused on the present
Dick Advocaat is refusing to contemplate an extended stay at Sunderland until he has completed his survival mission.
The 67-year-old Dutchman was parachuted in with nine games of the season remaining as the Black Cats rolled up their sleeves for a second successive battle to stay in the top flight.
Six games into his reign, head coach Advocaat has collected 10 of the 18 points on offer, but has still not managed to edge the club over the finishing line ahead of Saturday's home clash with in-form Leicester.
However, despite being installed as the bookmakers' favourite - West Ham's Sam Allardyce appears second in the list, although he is understood not to be a contender - to secure the job beyond the confines of his current contract, the former Holland boss will not even consider the matter until the battle is completed.
He said: "I think it's better to wait until after next weekend."
Gus Poyet's replacement would receive popular support if he were to indicate his continuing availability after dragging the club back from the brink with successive victories over Southampton and Everton after a derby win against Newcastle and a point at Stoke.
However, he modestly insists that even if the club does book a place in next season's Premier League, his contribution will only have been part of the equation.
He said: "If we stay up, then that's the success of the club, for everybody who works for the club, and we are part of that.
"I have to be very fair to the players, the way they train, the way they work during the games. We are very positive about that so in that way, I have no complaints at all about the players.
"Enjoyment is helped by winning games. That means the work you are doing is more enjoyable than when you lose.
"The last six games have been rather good, winning three games and one draw. We have only lost two. The performances and the results are okay, but we still have to do it, and that's the reason we are here."
Sunderland will have to turn in another good performance if they are to get any change out of Leicester with the Foxes having won six of their last seven games in a remarkable fightback.
Advocaat admits he did not know a great deal about the club or their manager Nigel Pearson before he arrived in England, but he knows a lot more about both now.
He said with a smile: "To be honest, if somebody said anything about Leicester, I always thought about Gary Lineker - honestly.
"But they have done really well, to be fair to the manager. Six out of seven, that's very positive. It's always a cooperation between players and management staff, and he's always calm - most of the time, he is calm.
"He looks very bright and he knows what he's doing, and if you win six out of seven, then you are doing a great job.
"But we will give them, tomorrow, a very difficult time."
Advocaat, however, will be without midfielder Jordi Gomez, whose two nerveless penalties secured a 2-1 victory over Southampton, after a niggling knee problem was diagnosed as a fractured patella which will sideline him for up to six weeks.
In addition, central defender Wes Brown is unlikely to play again this season after suffering a reaction to his return from a long-standing knee problem last weekend, although John O'Shea's availability following a rib injury softens that blow.
Nigel Pearson insists Leicester will go for the kill at Sunderland with the Foxes on the brink of a stunning recovery.
A win over the Black Cats, and Hull dropping points at Tottenham, would see Leicester become just the third side to survive in the Premier League after being bottom at Christmas.
A draw on Saturday would be good enough if Hull lost at White Hart Lane and would cap a remarkable survival bid.
Leicester - who are three points above the drop zone with two games left - have won six out of their last seven games and, with safety so close, manager Pearson will not change their plans.
"We're not all of a sudden going to be changing our preparation. You have to be flexible enough to change enough during games," said Pearson, who was assistant manager at West Brom in 2005 when they survived after being bottom at Christmas.
"I'd rather draw than lose but because of our circumstances over the last two months draws are not as beneficial, especially against sides around you.
"Our preparation will be along the same lines it has been of late, which will be to produce the type of performance we have had in the last couple of months.
"It's not as simple as saying we want to go out there and play well, it does help when you have a fit squad and we've had that for vast majority of the season."
But Matty James has been ruled out for up to nine months with a crucial knee ligament injury while David Nugent misses the trip to the Stadium of Light with a calf problem, although Andy King (hamstring) is back.

Formulated by the Graduate Study Committee
The inflation of grades and the widely differing grading levels which characterize different courses, or even different versions of the same course, make determining the ability of a student from his or her grades increasingly difficult.
The graduate study committee recognizes grading as one of the responsibilities of each individual instructor and firmly believes that the right of each instructor to choose the grading policy for his or her course should be preserved and protected. On the other hand, the committee feels that the adoption of drastically different policies for the course offered by the same academic unit, or of polices which tend to make the interpretation of grades impossible, is unfair to the students.
The dilemma between the requirements of academic freedom and those of fairness to the students can be solved, in the opinion of the committee, by proposing guidelines which the faculty should discuss, amend and finely accept not as binding rules, but as expressions of the desires of the majority. The committee therefore proposes the following guidelines for grading in graduate courses.
The requirements of a GPA of 3.5 in the major for the Ph.D degree and of a GPA of 3.0 for all Masters degrees should be reflected in the grading policy as follows:
Grades A+, A, A- should be given when the student's performance in the course is of a quality expected of a graduate student.
Grades B+ and B should be given when the work done is appropriate for graduate student.
Grades B- and below should be given when the work is not of the quality expected of graduate students in the department.
The average grade given in our F'75 graduate courses corresponded to a GPA of 3.47, down from 3.61 in S'75. The committee feels that this decline is beneficial, but that a further reduction would facilitate the interpretation of student's grades. The Committee recommends that instructors try to adjust their grading policies to make the average in a "normal" class be about 3.40.
Class averages less then 3.2 or greater than 3.6 should be considered exceptional. However, they might be justified in certain special cases.

Miners tumble as South Africa escalates black ownership rules
Kenadyr Announces Partial Drill Results at the South Zone:
Intersects 40 Meters at 6.17 Grams of Gold per Ton
Company Announcement
Friday, May 25, 2017
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- Kenadyr Mining (Holdings) Corp. (TSX Venture: KEN, OTCQB: KNDYF, Frankfurt: KM0) announces that drilling at the South Zone of Kenadyr's fully owned Borubai License in the Kyrgyz Republic has intersected widespread gold mineralization including 40 meters at 6.17 grams per ton.
The South Zone is directly adjacent to Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd.'s Taldy Bulak Levoberejnyi ("TBL") Mine deposit, currently in production.
Initial drilling was designed to intersect an area drilled by the Soviets between 1970 and 1990 that intersected significant gold mineralization. The current drill hole provides support for the validity of the historic Soviet results and indicates that widespread gold mineralization may exist on Kenadyr's license directly adjacent to (within 100 meters of) the TBL mine.
The South Zone is open in three directions and to depth and there are strong indications that it connects to the TBL deposit. Core recovery is greater than 95 percent and all intervals have been assayed using fire assay methods at an internationally accredited laboratory (ALS Global). ...

Companies including Anglo American and Sibanye Gold dropped after South Africa increased the minimum black ownership requirement for local mines and set a 12-month deadline for compliance with the new rules.
The Department of Mineral Resources will raise the requirement from the current 26 percent to ensure that more proceeds from the country's natural resources flow to the black majority, Mining Minister Mosebenzi Zwane said today in Pretoria, the capital. The new minimum applies regardless of whether they have previously sold shares or assets to black investors who later divested. ...
A holder who claims a historical transaction that achieved 26 percent prior to the new Mining Charter, which Zwane presented today, "must top up to 30 percent," regardless of whether the earlier black shareholders still hold their position, according to a statement handed to reporters.
Most mining companies reached the 26 percent level under previous versions of the charter but many of the black investors have since sold out. The Chamber of Mines, which represents mining companies, has said it's willing to fight the government in court over the issue of getting credit from earlier deals, which it says would kill investment in the industry.
"The new charter is significantly worse for the mining industry than the original draft," Peter Leon, the Africa co-chair at Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, said by phone. "It's poorly considered and raises serious questions about the government's commitment to the protection of property rights." ...

Rookie Liam O'Brien Is Pretty Awesome
DC Sports Nexus ---- Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Caps rookie center Liam O'Brien has only played 3 NHL games but he's already starting to get some notice from fans. O'Brien got into a fight in his first career NHL game (and the Caps opening game of the season) and during Tuesday's shootout loss to the Sharks had a rather interesting game in the 6 minutes he was on the ice.
Check out these two GIFs including a very funny tongue sticking out move:
First, O'Brien got into a little scrap with the Sharks giant human being John Scott. Scott, who somehow scored a goal earlier in the night, gave Liam a little stick shove to the face to which the rookie did the following:
Lol. Love the tongue sticking out move with the evil smile. Just a few seconds before this happened, O'Brien picked up the first point of his career, an assist on a Mike Green goal. The rookie was quite happy, and we learned that the 20 year old calls Mike Green by his full name as he joined his teammate to celebrate. (Ok maybe he said Attaboy Greenie) but I like mine - (see comments).
So yeah, we pretty much love this guy here so far...

The Witcher – Review
Review by one_gundam_war
Reviewed: 11/05/07
The Named One?
Ah, The Witcher. I would say that it was heralded by many as the next Baldur's Gate, but that would be a lie. Oddly enough, there was very little hype for this game. The question now is whether or not this game was deserving of hype.
Overall, I loved the gameplay. Often with RPGs, the player loses interest in the gameplay itself, but continues to play for the story alone. With this game, I never once lost interest in the gameplay.
There are three key components of the game: Combat, Alchemy, and Dialogue.
The combat itself, while flawed, is probably the best I have ever seen in a traditional CRPG. Much like other modern CRPGs, combat is initiated by left-clicking an opponent. However, rather than leave the player as a passive observer, the player must then click the left-mouse button at key points to consider a combo string. While simple, this proves to keep the player interested in the battle at all times. By clicking the right-mouse button during combat the player can use a sign. Think of signs as force powers in Jedi Knight, and you won't be all that surprised. While I only used three of the five signs, I also never felt like Geralt's signs were superfluous. A timely aard (a blast of force that stuns or knocks down an opponent) can turn a deadly battle into a simple coup de grace, whereas the appropriate use of igni (a wall of fire) can distract Geralt's enemies long enough to even the odds.
The odds themselves are often so one-sided that combat itself becomes far too complex. At a certain point in the game, the player is essentially dropped into a battlefield. As such, there will often be battles against relatively large groups of NPCs, with the player in the middle. As a result, it becomes far too easy to either click a friendly and end a combo string, or click a civilian and brutally murder a random looter.
Also, the enemies have a very big advantage in that Geralt will randomly refuse to fight. Whether it be the Witcher's need to taunt the opponent in a fistfight or a simple inability to move, which often results in a solid wall of enemies cutting the Witcher to ribbons.
However, when the combat is working as it should Geralt will still need an edge. Alchemy plays this role. Alchemy consists of finding formulas, obtaining ingredients (usually by cutting it out of a fallen foe), and mixing it together. While this sounds tedious, the end results usually prove worthwhile, and can easily transform Geralt from a slightly above average human to a full blown ubermensch. And, alchemy is not restricted to buffs alone; bombs can be crafted too, which tend to also aide in the act of crowd control.
There are many alchemical ingredients, as well as additional items that can be sold or used to enhance the player's weaponry. The player can carry three bags worth of items. However, these bags quickly fill up, resulting in frequent inventory management, which can at times ruin the flow of the game itself.
We have all heard about moral ambiguities in gaming before. And more than a few games do begin with moral ambiguities. However, even fewer continue the trend throughout, and often become black and white tales where the only non-good option available to the player is to kick a puppy.
The Witcher takes a slightly different approach.
The tale begins with an intro cinematic of Geralt of Rivia engaging in battle with a beast. Over the course of a brutal fight, Geralt manages to delay the beast long enough for it to transform into a woman.
The game itself begins with Geralt coming back from the grave, sans his memory. He is brought to Kaer Morhen, the headquarters of the Witchers, by his friends. The player then learns that Geralt is a Witcher, a man who has been mutated so as to be able to fight monsters and protect humanity. However, it quickly becomes clear that humanity doesn't appreciate the protection as Kaer Morhen is attacked by a mysterious army. During the battle, the enemy manages to steal the secrets of the Witchers. So, of course, the survivors decide to split up and send the amnesiac to hunt down items he can barely remember on his own.
Awkward premise aside, the player must then guide Geralt as he attempts to recover the stolen secrets. Throughout the course of this, the player performs Witchery duties (hunting beasts, rescuing damsels in distress, and beating the living hell out of anything that looks at him funny) while learning about what he missed, and what he is missing. As the game progresses, the player also learns of the war between humanity and the nonhumans (dwarves and elves).
And here is where the shades of grey come in. Early on the player will protect a shipment of equipment from some monsters. Upon the successful completion of this, the player then learns that this equipment was to be sold to a terrorist group of nonhumans. What initially seems like a simple decision later results in the potential death of a somewhat valuable NPC.
Decisions like this continue throughout the game, but become much direr. Will the player stop the nonhumans from robbing a bank, knowing full well that much of the money will go to allowing them to continue living? Will the player feed the starving nonhumans knowing full well that some of them will likely use their new found strength to continue taking hostages and killing humans? Will the player protect a witch who has been terrorizing a town that is led by men who raped and murdered a woman?
And these seemingly innocent yet profound moments, whether it is telling a child that he should cherish his gift or writing a letter to one's lover, all have an impact later in the game. Decisions made in act one might follow the player all the way to the epilogue.
To help facilitate these decisions, the third component of the game comes into play; the dialogue. While the voice acting is often awkward and amateurish, the written dialogue, while blunt, is quite atmospheric. While most of the dialogue does not offer too many options for the player, the options that are there (usually during a cutscene) never leave the player confused as to what Geralt means.
However, as effective as the dialogue and plot are, there are two key flaws. First and foremost is that Geralt acts like a thirteen year old. Witchers, as a result of their mutation, are sterile. As such, Geralt seems to make it a point to fornicate with anything with two legs and breasts. While it is usually in a good humored, purposefully cheesy, manner, it does get tedious at times. However, the developers did manage to keep it from detracting from the plot exposition, so it usually is just a nice collectible for the player.
The second flaw comes in the nature of the game. A decision the player might make in the first hour of gameplay can have far reaching effects. However, as a result of this, the player's intent might be lost. Often during the game it felt like Geralt's dialogue was being flavored by my previous actions. However, once or twice it felt as though the flavor was coming from perceived intents of said actions, rather than the actions themselves. However, this was rare enough that it didn't detract from the immersion.
Overall, the story is one of the best I have seen in a game in years, and has led to me looking for translations of the novels this game is based off of. While one could argue that the final twists might have been predictable, the predictability adds to the immersion in that the player feels Geralt's pain as he is forced to continue along a path that he knows can only end in suffering. I did feel that the endgame would have benefited from previous knowledge of the books, but that was the only time.
While this game might not have had as many particle effects or as high of a poly-count as other games, it was far from ugly and definitely feels like something I would expect to see on shelves. The graphics proved to be atmospheric enough to allow for immersion.
The sound effects though, were rather awkward. The voice acting often felt like the actors did not understand the meaning behind their words. One particularly humorous moment was when a character professes her love for Geralt. However, the voice acting results in it sounding like she is completely insane and is likely to carve Geralt's name into her arm.
Also, the generic grunts felt far too generic, and only the chosen mesh differentiated between the various enemies. All in all, I would call the graphics and sounds adequate.
On my first playthrough, the game took me approximately twenty-one hours or so. Even better, the game never felt to drag during said twenty-one hours. I was just as interested in the game during hour one as I was during hour twenty-one. In fact, I was much more interested in both the gameplay and story during hour twenty-one.
As for replayability, this game is oozing with it. While I don't see myself replaying the game immediately, I definitely see myself grabbing this off my shelf in a few weeks and doing a second runthrough. And, by this time next year, I might very well be on my fifth or sixth run.
Playtime/Replayability: 9/10
Final Notes:
All in all, it is clear that this is based off of a literary work, rather than a generic designers story. In fact, in many ways this game reminds me of Planescape: Torment in that it felt more like I was reading a good novel rather than playing a game. And while the game itself has a few rough edges, said edges don't detract, and in many ways help point out the parts of the game that are done superbly. Even Bioware and Bethesda Softworks could do to take a few lessons from CD Projekt.
Final Score: 8.7175/10
Final Recommendations
I would recommend getting in your car or on your bike and buying this game right now. It is well worth the fifty dollars (closer to sixty, since I pre-ordered the European version). I can definitely see this game being listed alongside Fallout, Arcanum, and Planescape: Torment when people lament the decline of CRPGS in five or six years.

Sometimes, you say the wrong thing.
Sometimes, you hear the wrong words.
Sometimes, you see what is not there.
Sometimes, all the things you didn't do come back to haunt you.
Sometimes, all the things you did do come back to haunt you.
My dad died when he was 52. He was strong and vibrant and I barely remember him. I remember a smile sometimes. Other times I wonder if I honestly remember. Or just remember what I want to remember.
He never grew old. He never grew frail. He never got weak. He never faded.
The mommy, for reasons they are trying very hard to figure out, has faded. She is sitting in this odd no mans land where words are jumbled and she can't remember to swallow. This grey area where she knows there is something wrong, and she thinks I can fix it. This hard and horrible place where she wants her mommy. Much like we all do, when shit gets really bad.
I don't know which is worse. The maybe a memory or the memory of old.
Sometimes, all the things you said and did and didn't do come back to haunt you.
Sometimes, you take it out on people who don't really know you. Or know how broken you can be, when it gets hard and you are tired.
Sometimes, all you can do is sit with someone. And let them talk the broken away. Whether it be the broken 'misremembered' words. Or their broken self. Everyone should have someone that will sit with them.
Sometimes – we forget what matters. And then Grace reminds us.
Sometimes, Grace is all that sits with you.
Sometime, Grace gets you up and moving and functioning. It keeps you moving when the tired gets you.
There but for the Grace go I.

Well, not actually Dilbert … rather Dilbert's author Scott Adams.
On his Dilbert blog, Adams took aim at the current Presidential campaign …
First, Hillary's constant refrain that we can't have a loose cannon in the White House.
Adam's observation on "Dangerous Trump":
Trump's opponents have started making the case that he is "a loose cannon" … a "dangerous man"
You know who likes dangerous men?
Answer: Everyone.
Seal Team Six is dangerous. George Washington was dangerous. Abraham Lincoln was dangerous. Women like dangerous men. Men want to be dangerous men.
"Dangerous" borders on being a compliment. When you need to thwart some enemies – such as a useless Congress, or ISIS – you want to send in your most dangerous fighter.
From other commentators:
(1) "Every other country with nukes has a wacko with his finger on the button. Why shouldn't the U.S. — just to keep things even".
(2) "Girls like bad boys, right? Maybe this will fix Trump's polling with women."
Here are a couple more of Adam's quips …
Clinton's Campaign Logo:
Clinton's logo is a big "H" with an arrow pointing forward.
Someone on Twitter mentioned that it looks like a sign telling you where the hospital is.
Once you see it that way, you can't see it any other way.
Clinton's Haircut & Wardrobe:
Fashion-wise, I like Clinton's new hairdo. I think it is her best look.
The only problem is that It reminds me of Trump's haircut.
I like that Clinton has her own fashion look that isn't like anyone else's look.
Or at least I thought that way until some wag on Twitter noticed that North Korea's dictator, Kim Jong-un, has the same style.
The Taco Bowl Photo:
By now you have seen the image of Trump eating a Taco Bowl on Cinco De Mayo and saying, "I love Hispanics!"
The picture was funny, provocative, playful, and viral as all get-out.
But more importantly, every time it got retweeted and shared, more people saw a smiling Trump proclaim his love for Hispanics.
Repetition is truth.

It refers to something that was once very respectable have a guest article on your blog, as well as get a coveted and respected author to write the introduction to your book. However this is no longer so and will no longer be whether anymore.
It refers also to a very clear example of spam you have received from a vendor working a content marketing agency offers high-end services as a creator of content on your blog (we must have courage to do this) and roughly explains what your way of working.
It is dedicated to the professional search sites to promote their clients and when he found the site of Matt Cutts he was so impressed with the amount of followers you have that gives you the possibility to publish guest posts on your blog, of course 100% original, well-written and relevant to your audience and certainly unique for him. All this in exchange for a dofollow (or two) link in the body of the article and again assured that the quality and content will be relevant to your readers.
According to Matt Cutts if you look at the text highlighted in bold ignoring what others before us someone who is offering us money to get links that pass PageRank. This clearly violates the Google quality guidelines.
That is why now we can not have nice things in the SEO community has fallen into a downward spiral where people post touts outsourcing of guests and writing articles on how to automate guest blogs.
Overall, Matt Cutts recommends the publication of an article by guest unless it is willing to respond personally or by someone knows you well and certainly would not trust such actions as the basis for a strategy of linkbuilding.
This does not mean you can not post as a guest in a blog or you're the guest in another blog. There is the guest bloggin what has died (or is to kill it), but the guest spam.
It means that the content must be of high quality, relevant and useful to the reader and certainly not be clearly optimized for search engines with SEO purposes.
¿Would reject your guest write an article on a site of much newspaper or magazine type powerful importance only because the links were nofollow? Not you? This will bring relevant traffic to your blog but do not pass PageRank, you would be more visible because it would give to know who are not regular readers to your website.
It also messes with blogs that are made by several authors, blogs can be a lot of quality and certainly very useful for WWW.
Ends clear that a lot of low quality sites or spam blogs have clung to guests as link building strategy and they see it's a clear attempt to spam to blog quality guest. Ultimately, the goal is not that links "look natural" but the links "are natural".

Unfortunately that day has come, says Fortune's CEO of the decade
Co-founder of the world's No.1 technology company Apple, Steve Jobs, has announced his resignation.
Jobs said that he would no longer work as the CEO of the company he founded with Steve Wozniak in 1976. Jobs said that he would like to continue as chairman and asked the board to name chief operating officer Tim Cook as his successor.
Steve wrote in a letter to the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Jobs has been plagued by ill health in recent years. It was treated for pancreatic cancer in 2004 and, following dramatic weight loss, it was announced in January 2009 that he was suffering from a hormone imbalance.
Shortly after this it was announced Jobs would take a six-month leave of absence. After his return to the top chair at Apple it was revealed he had undergone a liver transplant.
His current leave of absence began earlier this year and no time frame was given for his return. He has made few public appearances since then, but was on stage to launch the latest versions of Apple's hugely successful iPad tablet.
Under Jobs' leadership, Apple has seen a steady but steep rise from 1997 to 2007, also known as the decade of Jobs. The company overtook both Microsoft and Google soon after. Earlier this month, Apple briefly surpassed ExxonMobil to become the world's largest company by stock market value. The company's growth surged with the launch of a series of 'i' products including iPad and iPhone.
In May this year, Jobs was the only computer engineer to feature in the top three engineering heroes selected by engineering undergraduates in the UK, in a survey by General Electric (GE).
From being a non-enrolled student at Reed College in Portland to the CEO of the most valuable brand in the world, the extreme highs and lows of Jobs' story is an inspiration to many.
In 1976, Jobs, Steve Wozniack and others, created Apple. However, nine years later, in 1985, Jobs was voted off the board of his own company.
Jobs founded NeXT Computer and made it successful. In 1996, Apple bought Jobs' company and got him back on the board. After that Jobs started a new line of products, the 'i' line, which pushed the company ahead of competition. The iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad all sold in huge numbers, helping the company to redefine the mobile phone, music and tablet computing markets.
Apple now owns 230 patents, and is the most valuable brand in the world with an 84% rise in its estimated value to $153bn according to latest rankings.
In May, a report by brands agency Millward Brown put Apple at the first rank of top 100 global brands, pushing behind Google which was the in the No.1 spot for four-years. Last year, Apple had edged past Microsoft to become the world's most valuable technology company.
Although the news may have come as a surprise, analysts believe Apple will not be too badly affected by Jobs' departure. Writing on Twitter, Gartner analystCarolina Milanesi, said: "Tim Cook has demonstrated during Jobs' leaves of absence that he can provide the leadership that Apple needs to continue in its success."
"Apple is Steve Jobs' life. Chairman role or not he will continue to be involved for as long as he can," she added. "Apple's competitors would be fools for thinking that they can take advantage of Steve Jobs stepping down as CEO."
Her colleague Michael Gartenberg added: "Consumers buy products from Apple because they're good products not because they're from Steve Jobs. Mr. Jobs will continue to leave his mark on both the company and products even as he transfers the reins."

Probably not, LOL.
But I did recently get the urge to purge and I literally threw out 16 items that just.had.to.go. I thought it might be interesting (and perhaps helpful to you) to see which ones and why. It'll be brief, I promise!
Face products:
- Wet n Wild Coverall Medium/Deep: My skin is "medium/deep" maybe in August only. This foundation is correctly named - it does Cover All, but in a yucky, greasy way.
- Fergie BB Cream in Medium/Deep: see above.
- BB Cream from Sallys: Sometimes the beauty supply stores don't have the best products. This is a thick and yucky BB cream.
- L'Oreal Super Stay 24Hr Concealer, e.l.f. Concealer, Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer: I have yet to find an under-eye concealer that doesn't make my under eye issues look more pronounced. These have got to go.
Eye & Eyebrow Products:
- Bellimisa Masterful Eyes Mascara: I received this free samples from a form on a website. To be blunt, no wonder they are giving it away! This is a dry formula that flaked from the application. The brush is oversized and bushy, which is not helpful for separating lashes.
- e.l.f. Clear Mascara and Eyebrow Gel: This is an awesome product, super helpful, and at a $1 price point, I can replace it when the wands get yucky. I will re-purchase this!
- NYX Eyeliner in Green Shimmer: I believe I last wore this for a St. Patrick's Day party in 2012. Buh bye.
- Rimmel Pencil in Gold: See above, circa Christmas 2013. Got.to.go.
- Salon Perfect Eyebrow Brush: It is hard to see, but this brush, which is meant for your brows, has a SQUARE tip. How is that helpful? I have a difficult enough time trying to make myself not have Frida Kahlo brows - I have no room in my brush arsenal for a tool that isn't going to assist me properly.
- Chella Clear Eyebrow Gel: Lately I am favoring gel brow products applied with an angled brush. I also have too many eyebrow gels anyway, so this one got the boot.
- Salon Perfect Light Brown Brow Pomade: I was sent this color, along with a Medium and Dark shade, to try for review. Unfortunately, none of the three colors worked well for me. I have a couple of eyebrow products that are similar and I love (ABH, I mean you), and therefore, this one is getting sacrificed.
- NYC New York Color Cosmetics Finishing Powder: I truly believe that NYC is the most underrated cheapy brand out there. I do like this powder, but I prefer the yellow or green formulas more. I have had this tub forfreakinever and the cap is broken. It's messy and I can't take it anymore!!
- Benefit High Beam: Clearly I have had this little sample since 1992. Look how dried it is! Apparently, with all of the other options for awesome highlighters, I just haven't picked this up. It may now rest with dignity.
- Prestige Blush: I found this pretty pastel blush with inset highlighter for a whopping $2 at Job Lot. Unfortunately, the formula is stiff and it is near impossible to pick up any product. I am tossing this bad boy (see the scratches? It's not like I haven't tried to work with this!) and asking for a more pigmented and easy to operate pastel pink blush for Christmas.
There you have it! I sorted through my makeup and really thought about the items. I decided to throw away products that were old, that didn't perform well, and that just don't work for me. I feel really great about my descisions and I plan to do another purge after winter's thaw is over (wishful thinking for spring before the first snow!).

Cowboys Fighting NFL Gambling Odds of Years Past Against Giants
Play at Full Tilt Poker!
The Dallas Cowboys have had one of those seasons that NFL teams dream about. They had their division locked up earlier than expected. They also have home field advantage for as long as they stay in the NFC playoffs.
So why, then, does this team that has everything hold so much pressure coming into today's game against the Giants. That question can be answered in several different ways.
First off, the Cowboys are the last game of the weekend. The two favorites in yesterday's games won, and the Colts have the lead at halftime against the Chargers. If the Colts hold on to win, that would meant the Cowboys would have the pressure of being the last of the favorites to play this weekend. It has been a long time since all four favorites won in this round of the playoffs.
Then there is their quarterback, Tony Romo. He chose to spend his off week vacationing with his new girlfriend, Jessica Simpson. While most quarterbacks in the middle of a playoff run would be working out or studying film, Romo chose to hang out on a beach.
The last reason the Cowboys are feeling pressure is their opponent. The Giants play in the Cowboys division and the two are hated rivals. Dallas has already beaten the Giants twice, and it is hard to beat a team three times in one year.
So the stage is set for the Cowboys, and it is up to them to show whether they can perform, or if they will be swept under by the bright lights.

|Do not want to use the issues tracker? Contact us directly.
|Each Scratchpad has an integrated Help system.
Within ViBRANT, Scratchpads are a data-publishing framework for people to create their own thematic virtual research communities supporting biodiversity science. The Scratchpad platform provides at present the following support systems for users:
the help desk dealing with all emails, issues tracker, calls and meetings relating to user support
a help system with help pages integrated into the individual Scratchpads
the sandbox and home-training sites for self-training
training courses with training manuals (manuals available online)
a blog to inform the community of new features, fixed bugs, training courses etc.
Support systems are vital in maintaining user engagement in the early stages of use and they play an important role for the communication between users and developers of software. In a recent paper, "Who learns from whom? Supporting users and developers of a major biodiversity e-infrastructure"), two Scratchpad support systems, the issues tracker and the email service, were studied in detail. The aim was to identify co-learning opportunities between users and developers of the Scratchpad system by asking which support system was used by whom and for what type of questions. The results show that the issues tracker and e-mails cater to different user mentalities as well as different kind of questions and suggest ways to improve the support system as part of the Scratchpad development.

Getting to know the specific training needs of the Scratchpad users and of potential users is important. Within the framework of the VU user studies a user survey was set up to get a better view of user needs and to influence the further development of Scratchpads 2.0 as well as implementation priorities. The survey covers the following issues: Scratchpad community characteristics, system improvements, training courses, and technical support services. The focal maintainers (±350) of all Scratchpad sites were asked to fill in the online survey. At the time of writing (Nov 11), 53 surveys were fully completed. Most of the responses received are very positive with valuable suggestions and comments on the support systems and for Scratchpads software development. An evaluation of the results of the user survey is planned for November 2012.
Evaluation of delivered training is essential if maximum impact is to be achieved. Hence, all course attendees are asked to complete an online feedback form (which can be done anonymously if desired). Most of the responses received are very positive and a detailed evaluation will be given in a forthcoming report (M3.14 'Assessment of user support services and promotional activities'). The feedback given by the participants after training influences the delivery and content of training as well as the future design of the Scratchpad software.

LGBTQ South Florida
Facebook album: OUT Miami philanthropists put finishing touches on new Pridelines center
More than 50 LGBT philanthropists and allies from the OUT Miami Foundation helped clean up and paint the new Pridelines community center set to open in early March in Miami's Upper East Side.
"They really rolled up their sleeves. They helped us clear all the brush in the backyard. We now have a beautiful patio. And they painted the front of the building and helped us clear all the overgrowth from the front of the building," said Luigi Ferrer, Pridelines' programs and grants development director. "Several of them helped to load garbage and construction debris onto trucks to be taken to the landfill. All in all they made it possible for us to be ready for our event during Winter Party Festival next week."
The volunteers came to Pridelines' new location, 6360 NE Fourth Ct., on Saturday, Feb. 20. "It's great that to have the community come out and support our new community center," Ferrer said.
"OUT Miami Days of Service are community-wide, large-scale volunteer projects that benefit our strategic partners — all of which are local LGBT-serving nonprofits," said Jaime Bayo, the foundation's executive director. "We're thrilled to have kicked off the Days of Service program this year with this important project for Pridelines and to have been able to mobilize a critical mass of volunteers to join us today. We had a great time coming together as a community to support Pridelines."
Pridelines mission is to "support, educate and empower South Florida's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth and the community at large in safe and diverse environments through affirming programs and services to promote dialogue, wellness and foster social change," according to its website. Founded in 1982, the group has outgrown its current space in Miami Shores and is moving to a new complex in Miami's Upper East Side.
OUT Miami "Our mission is to build an engaged, philanthropic LGBT community in the Greater Miami area," according to its website.

Letter: Workers could ban together -- what a novel idea
In America we value our freedom. For business, freedom is the free market that gets freer every day by rigging the regulations that are supposed to help consumers. Business "freedom" also includes the chipping away of worker rights by implementing presidential anti-worker regulations.
Real freedom for workers is more than making a living. (Although, it is getting harder every day to make a living, even with two jobs) Freedom for workers is also having time to take a loved one to the doctor, spending time with family and having affordable health care.
How about a clean environment? And let's not forget good schools. When we get old and frail let's hope Social Security and Medicare haven't been cheated away from us, thereby denying us freedom from despair.
Workers can find their lost freedom by joining together. We have the power with our numbers. Together we can negotiate for a fair return on our work and time to spend with family. After all that's what the CEOs do. They bargain by joining with their boards and political friends for their pay and benefits. What a novel idea.
Freedom opportunity is not equal. Freedom opportunity challenges can be overcome. Someone once said freedom is only freedom when everyone has it.
Working people are the backbone of our country and we must ensure our freedom to prosper.

Combining vocabulary revision with pronunciation
One way to ensure students can identify and recognise a particular sound is to play this game based on individual sounds or phonemic symbols.
Get the students standing in a circle or a series of circles. They are then given a sound, for example the 'ee' from sheep. They are also given a semantic field, for example, Parts of the Body, and they must throw a ball to each other whilst giving a word with the that particular sound, for example, cheek. The person who catches the ball then throws it to someone else in the group and gives another part of the body with that particular sound, for example, knee. If someone says the word chin, for example, they have to sit down. The winner is last one standing. They are also practising vocabulary, of course.

Ilene Ferber to join Zoho Gallery
By Bruce Janklow
The Zoho Gallery, which has been showcasing the work of some of San Miguel's finest artists for more than a decade, has invited ceramicist Ilene Ferber to become a member of the gallery as of April 1, 2014.Art Ilene Ferber to join Zoho Gallery Within the Art Walk at Fábrica La Aurora Fri, Apr 4, 5-7pm Zoho Gallery Fábrica la Aurora Free admission
Ilene Ferber will join painters Mike Kleimo, Mary Breneman and Richard Trumball and fellow ceramic artists Edna Dickinson and Ellen Johnson. Her addition to the gallery will further cement Zoho's reputation as a premier destination in San Miguel to view and purchase innovative ceramic art. Ferber, Dickinson and Johnson all work at the Clay Arts Studio in Guadiana and each in their own original and inventive way explores the unlimited possibilities of working in clay.
Ferber's work has a strong natural organic quality and takes inspiration from forms in nature such as rocks, roots, shells, driftwood, ruins and fossils, all of which she enjoys collecting.
The genre of her work is sculptural. Some pieces are unique totem-like forms that suggest the skeletal frameworks found in nature. Others use the shape of vessels as a starting point, drawing upon her years of experience as a functional potter. Ferber's art, which is deceptive in its simplicity, explores the essential and underlying essence of structure and form. The patterns that are formed as light and shadow play across the ridges, ribs and cornices, enhancing the viewer's experience as they move about the pieces.
Ferber succeeds in her goal of bringing authenticity and individuality to each piece she creates and feels strongly that original art has an important obligation to create a counterpoint to the homogenization of the mass-produced world around us.

I bought this to replace an old one where the battery did not last. All I can say about this product that I own for about 3 months is that I can hear them and they can hear me. It has a good long battery life. It was a good price and has a great deal of value for me.

We met Elle at Alt Summit back in January and we're so happy we did. She is the founder of Solly Baby, a family business that began in Salt Lake City but is now based in San Diego. She and her husband, Jared, have three children and live in a little house by the beach.
How did you conceive of Solly Baby? Was it from dissatisfaction over what the market provided in the way of baby carriers?
Solly Baby came about at a time when I was blogging, sewing, having babies, and constantly thinking of how to simplify and beautify my role as a mother. So many of the products on the market for parenting were either for the parent or the child, not both. I wanted to make a wrap that was the most comfortable place for a baby to be, as well as for the caregiver, and I wanted to help the wearer retain a sense of self.
When you started Solly Baby, your husband was in school full time and you were home with two kids. How did you make time to get the business off the ground? What was your biggest challenge in doing so?
Oh man. Looking back, the numbers don't even add up. I honestly don't know how it all happened. Jared was at school before our two-year old and newborn were awake and most evenings he didn't return until after the kids were in bed. I really utilized nap times, early bedtimes, and I multitasked. I also remember getting the advice from my sister-in-law that if you give your kids thirty minutes of undivided attention, they will give you an hour or even two of independent play. I found that to be true with my toddler and I wore Solomon so much in the wrap that taking care of him was a breeze. A little ironic, right?
You've been very clear from the beginning about your values and creating a product that reflects them. We love your attention to detail, even down to your letter pressed packaging, and note cards. Sourcing your materials in the USA and working with American factories, fabric mills, dye houses, and printers is something you are passionate about.
Your book, Carrying Baby: A Babywearing Adventure, was such an natural complement to the Solly Wrap and you had such an amazing team who helped you put it together: Eva Jorgensen created the hand lettering, Amanda Jane Jones did the book design, and Ashmae Hoiland did the illustrations. We love it!
Your brilliant creation allows you to stay close to your baby and still get things done. Your design integrates the benefits of babywearing and the beauty of personal style. Can you tell us a little about why babywearing is so important to you? How did you conceptualize the wrap and determine which fabrics to use? When did you know you had created something special?
Just the idea of giving your little one everything he or she needs while having the independence to get other things done by wearing them is a really amazing concept. It's like having your cake and eating it too. Babywearing also reduces postpartum depression, promotes bonding, reduces colic by astronomical numbers and just makes for a much happier "fourth trimester" as we call it. I see it as vital to helping your baby thrive, especially in that first year.
The design is quite simple but still not like any other wrap on the market. Every line, stitch, taper, and pocket was designed for a specific reason. We've tested out every width, weight of fabric, and kind of fabric to make for a truly luxurious experience. We've changed things a few times and we might do so again in the future, because we believe in continually innovating and improving.
I think I knew I'd done something differently the first time I wore Solomon. It was snowing outside and I wanted to walk to a friend's house for a play date for my daughter Lucy. There was all the hustle and bustle of getting shoes and coats on and the usual stress of leaving the house with little kids. I put him in my first prototype of the wrap and he immediately fell to sleep. Like right away. I felt like I could exhale and take on the day.
Children are at the core of your business model. You have an amazing way of finding the balance and have created a beautiful lifestyle for you and your family. Whether you are home or traveling the world, you make every day an adventure… Speaking of which, let's talk about your five-week European escapade..
You took Solly's marketing campaign to Europe. What an amazing concept! What sparked your decision to do something so grand? Had you traveled to Europe before? What sights were on your itinerary? From the looks of it, it seems like you didn't plan every location; instead, you kind of just went for it.
I'm always looking for ways to travel, so when the idea hit me that we could travel and run a successful marketing campaign, it felt like a no-brainer. Jared and I have both been to Europe on our own, but never together and definitely not with three children aged five and under, which is an experience that is unique to say the least. You see and experience everything in a different way when you're traveling with kids. I thought our community might be interested in what that looked like and if it was even possible.
I was the most excited to rely fully on our wraps throughout the trip. We didn't bring strollers or even car seats (we rented them any time we used a car, which was rare) so I felt like we got to know our product in a way that we never would've otherwise. Especially because we had no idea where we were going. We had a flat in London and a little cottage in the English countryside. After that first week we had no plans for the next four, so we created our itinerary as we traveled. It was great because we could gauge how our kids were doing and if we needed something more rural or if they could handle more city. It was an experience I'll never forget.
Not only did you decide to travel together for five weeks, you created a contest for your readers and followers using the hashtag #sollycation. Tell us more about that. How were the results? What an incredible way to involve your community.
We felt kind of funny just showing off our trip through Instagram for five weeks without giving our community any more payoff other than getting tips on how to fly with your wrap, so we decided to give a trip away. People always ask us if we really paid for the prize package or if we had our companies sponsor, but we didn't. We wanted it to feel like we were really giving back to our community.
Through all of your travels, did you come away with a favorite city or memory? What about your kids? What was their favorite part?
My favorite city was Paris, Jared's was Stockholm, Lucy's was the English countryside, Solomon's was Greece because he ate so much pizza. There were beautiful moments in each place and hard ones, just like daily life anywhere, but both of the moments were a little bit heightened, you know? The good was REALLY good and the bad was pretty (laughably now but not then) BAD.
One night in Paris, we went on a whim to hear a string symphony play Vivaldi's Four Seasons in this gorgeous famous cathedral, after we walked by Notre Dame and listened to street performers. Then we tried to catch a taxi back but couldn't find an empty one anywhere so we started walking. The kids started to complain about walking so we started singing songs to get them energized. We sang "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from Les Miserables as we walked (nobody was really around, thank goodness) while looking at the Eiffel Tower, touching the Love Locks bridge and walking along La Seine river. That falls into the REALLY good category.
You couldn't have created a more natural and lovely way to show your customers exactly how Solly Baby can enable them while traveling. You make everything look so effortless and fashionable. We love your style. Who are your style icons? Who do you look to for inspiration?
Thank you! I am rather practical when it comes to style. It's all about the fit, the quality, the functionality. I love timeless pieces that nail it in the details. Understated and stain-resistant is definitely my vibe.
I'm most inspired by a mix of women of the past: Jacqueline Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, and Coco Chanel; and natural beauties from today: Alexa Chung and Gwyneth Paltrow.
You mentioned recently that this year is your husband's year. What great things has he got going on?
I love that you thought to ask about Jared. Because most of our community is made of up mothers, he's not always at the forefront, but he's played a vital role in Solly Baby even when I was the one making the wraps. I have been pushing him to streamline his position as CFO so that he has time to work on other projects as well that are more creative. He's great with analytics and numbers, but he's just as much of a creative as I am so I can't wait to see him doing something that satisfies that part of him. Solly Baby has been my dream, but he's made it his as well these last few years. I'm excited for him to pursue his own dreams in the future.
You have worked very hard to get where you are and it seems you have your life and Solly Baby figured out just right. Can you share some advice with us that you learned throughout your journey?
You're definitely giving me too much credit. It's always crazy behind the scenes, you know? I feel like, in so many ways, we are still finding answers to the same problems we had four years ago. I thought there would be this moment where we'd know we'd made it; when we could say "we are a success." I've realized that time doesn't really happen. You can have tons of little or big successes along the way, but everything can fall apart in a moment and there's always a new level of success to reach.
The only success that isn't fleeting is being the kind of person you're meant to be. To run your business with integrity, to be kind, to work hard, to be vulnerable, to keep your priorities straight, to add value, and to be good to the people around you.
Thank you so much for sharing your time with us, Elle. We love your work and your creativity! You can follow Elle on her Instagram or her website to keep updated with Solly Baby.

text: Just picked up a brand new 90D yesterday. Found pink fluid leaking (fresh) in the garage after I parked for 20 minutes today after driving back. It is from the center of the car near rear motor/wheels. I can see liquid dripping mark underneath the black bottom panel. Has anyone experienced this or know what this might be?

Welcome to Soar!
Five years ago (when I was just 15), one of my closest friends sadly lost her two year long battle with cancer and died a few days short of her 16th birthday.
Due to my personal experience of bereavement at an early age, I have decided to create a Fixers project that will offer more support and advice for young people and those around them who have been affected by it.
As a young person who has experienced bereavement through the loss of a close friend, I understand how much of an effect this can have on a young person's life especially whilst trying to balance school and exams too. I found that after my friend's death, initially there was some support from the school, however, after a week or so this ended. I was also never shown/offered any resources or helplines to look at or get in touch with for additional support and advice; something which I believe would have helped as I found it difficult to admit to my friends and family that I was struggling to cope.
It's with this in mind that I decided to create a website which will offer support and advice to young people going through bereavement, and hopefully show them that they don't have to go through it alone.
Sorry for the lack of updates but it has been a busy year for us fixers, mainly due to the Feel Happy Fix Live which took place on the 11th of March 2015......
Another amazing Fixers Project created by a very inspirational girl called Kayla Laisby. ...

If you are selling or buying a manufactured home, then most likely a foundation certification will be required. For all FHA and VA loans, an engineer's foundation certification is required that states that the home is placed on a permanent foundation that complies with the "HUD Permanent Foundation Guide for Manufactured Homes", dated 1996 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
It has been my experience that this important requirement gets overlooked at times. The buyer, seller, real estate agent and home inspector have already put in a great deal of time and money on the normal processes of buying a home, only to discover the manufactured home does not have a permanent foundation certification by a licensed engineer. Before you pay a home inspection fee, termite inspection fee, and even getting emotionally attached to the home. Inquire about this mandatory step to purchase a home with an FHA/VA loan with your agent.
We have partnered with the engineers at ADP Engineering to provide a foundation certification service for you. We work as the field inspector to gather the necessary home information like measurements, type of skirting, type of crawlspace access, number and spacing of piers, anchoring, footers and take required photographs for the engineer to review. The engineer will review the data and inform you if corrections are required, if any, then provide a foundation certification if compliant or after adjustments are performed.

Beastmaster Beauty
Model-turned-actress Tanya Roberts received recognition when she was cast as angel Julie Rogers in the ever-popular series Charlie's Angels (1976). She acquired even more notice when she starred in the blockbuster The Beastmaster (1982) and posed for Playboy while promoting the film. The popularity she gained sent her to other big-budget movies, playing the role of Sheena in Sheena (1984) and portraying Bond girl Stacey Sutton in A View to a Kill (1985).
However, her portrayal and roles in the films caused her to be nominated for Worst Actress at the Razzie Awards in 1984 and 1985.
Off screen, Tanya, who took 5 years of voice training to get the Bronx out of her voice, is currently the wife of screenwriter Barry Roberts.
Bronx Blum
Childhood and Family:
Daughter of an Irish-born father (pen salesman) and Jewish mother (divorced before Tanya attended high school), Victoria Leigh Blum, who later would be known as Tanya Roberts, was born on October 15, 1954, in The Bronx, New York. Dropping out from high school, 15-year-old Tanya married and traveled around the country with her husband until her mother-in-law had the marriage annulled. She then returned to New York.
Finding her interest lay with acting, Tanya studied under the guidance of Lee Strasberg and Uta Hagen. During her early years in New York, Tanya worked as an Arthur Murray dance instructor and also modeled for television commercials. She then appeared in off-Broadway productions.
As for her private life, 5' 8" inch tall Tanya, who is an animal lover, married writer Barry Roberts shortly after the annulment of her first marriage. The couple currently lives in Los Angeles. Being asked about her marriage, she said, "We have been together over 20 years. I'm not really sure, we don't celebrate anniversaries. I feel it only leads to divorce. Barry and I are best pals. We're both physical people and have similar interests. Yet, Barry does not like golf!"
Sheena Sham
"Even if I get thrown out of Hollywood, I'll come back. It took me 14 years to get where I am. I'm going to hang in there." Tanya Robert
Starting out as a dance instructor, Tanya Robert wanted to pursue a modeling career professionally. 17-year-old Tanya appeared in several television commercials for products like Ultra Brite, Clairol and Cool Ray sunglasses. While working as a model, Tanya also honed in on her acting talent by appearing on such off-Broadway productions as Picnic, Antigone, Bus Stop and Born Yesterday. When bitten by the acting bug, she moved to Hollywood (with her husband) to focus on her acting career.
In 1975, Tanya eventually debuted on screen by starring in the thriller Forced Entry, playing the role of Nancy Ulman. She then appeared in such projects as The Yum-Yum Girls (1976), The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover (1977), Fingers (1978), Tourist Trap (1979), California Dreaming (1979) and Racquet (1979). Adding to her acting experience, Tanya also worked for the NBC comedy Zuma Beach (1978) and Pleasure Cove (1979), and the ABC detective drama Waikiki (1980).
Tanya received her big break when she portrayed sexy private investigator Julie Rogers in the final season of ABC's crime drama Charlie's Angels (1980-1981). At the same time, she also posed for the cover of People Magazine (2/9/81).
Her popularity as an angel helped her win a leading role in the blockbuster hit The Beastmaster (1982). Tanya nude pose for Playboy magazine helped The Beastmaster become one of the biggest hits in 1982.
After playing roles in Murder Me, Murder You (1983,TV) and Paladini - storia d'armi e d'amori, I (1983), Tanya made a wrong decision by starring in Sheena (1984). Though the film went to the box office, Tanya was nominated for Worst Actress at the Razzie Awards. The following year, she was lucky to be cast as Bond girl Stacey Sutton in Roger Moore's final entry, A View To a Kill (1985). However, the role brought her another nomination for Worst Actress at the Razzie Awards.
She was then seen in the forgettable Body Slam (1987) and Purgatory (1988).
In 1990, Tanya had two wide screen projects, Twisted Justice and Night Eyes, before portraying Rikki Rennick in Legal Tender (1991, written by her husband) and having the starring role as sexy nurse Lynn Foster in Inner Sanctum (1991). The subsequent year, Tanya starred in the comedy Almost Pregnant (1992). After appearing in Sins of Desire (1993), Tanya played the role of Charlotte in Deep Down (1994) and was seen as Rebecca in Hot Line (1994, TV) as well as made a guest appearance in an episode of the mystery remake TV series Burke's Law (1994). Tanya then played herself in an episode of the Showtime TV movie National Lampoon's Favorite Deadly Sins (1995) and lent her voice for the video game The Pandora Directive (1996).
Tanya next could be seen on the small screen when she won an on-going role in That '70s Show (1998-2001), playing the character of Midge Pinciotti. After disappearing from the screen, Tanya made her return in 2004 as a reoccurring guest on FOX's That '70s Show. Recently, she also appeared as a guest in the series Eve (2005).
