Dark under eye circles doesn't look good. Many people are getting troubled having these dark under circles in their eye areas. These annoying black circles under your eye, makes you look old and sometimes scary. As they say, the eyes are the windows to our soul. if we ruin that one thing that leads to our inner self, we ruin everything.
But what really is the cause of that dark circles in the eye area? Sometimes , we associate that if we have stayed up late last night or you have been working late at night all the time. You will develop these dark eye circle problems. There are instances that other people may presume that you are engaging in some weird vices at night or alcohol drinking binge.
We may blame a lot of issues to our lifestyle. There maybe some hold of truth to the matter that you may be engaging in drinking or late night activities. But , also remember that fatigue may also contribute to losing the skin's luster and elasticity.
However, if you really engage in alcohol drinking, this may cause your skin to dehydrate making it look dull and dry. Alcohol dehydrates you and it is not good for your skin. Dark circles may start to appear once your skin becomes dehydrated.
What Causes Dark Circles To Appear?
- Heredity. Sometimes it is genetic. Even in childhood, Dark Under Eye Circles may appear. Some children have inherited this from their children and eventually outgrow this in time.
- Allergies. Nasal Congestion may affect and dilate the eyes. This drains the blood vessel around your eyes causing them to darken.
- Sleep Deprivation. This is mostly the cause of most dark eye circles . Although it is the most common. It is also the easiest to prevent.
- Oversleeping. Though the lack of sleep may cause dark eye circles, oversleeping may ,however, be the cause of it also.
- Stress. Again and again, stress may be affecting all systems in our body. Stress affects the skin appearance and also it may contribute in the worsening dark circles of your eye.
- Iron Deficiency. if we do not have enough supply of iron in our body, it may prevent the body from carrying oxygen to the eye tissues making it look dark and sunken.
- Fluid Retention. It may occur during pregnancy or weight gain.
- Age. As we get older, we lose some of the fat collagen around the eyes. This loss combined with the thinning of the skin creates an obvious appearance of dark circles in our eyes.
- Excess Salt in the Diet. Excessive intake of salt may cause fluid retention and that includes underneath your eyes.
What Can We Do to Avoid Dark Circles to Appear?
- Use Sunscreens. There's nothing more important than prevention. The sun is very damaging to our skin. The skin underneath our eyes is very thin and since it is always exposed to the sun , it is prone to a lot of skin discoloration.
- Apply Retinoids. One special formula made specifically for the eye area is a Retinol cream. It is a collagen- rich formula and vitamin A derivative that counters the effect of skin aging and visible formation of dark circles in the eyes. Making it appear less visible. But there is a counter- reaction to the use of Retinoids. Avoid overusing it, otherwise ,it will leave flaky red marks around your eyes . It may turn brownish or gray over time when healed.
- Cool Down. Washing your face with hot water may worsen the puffiness in the eyes. The right temperature will do. Avoid steaming your face to retract the puffiness of the eyes.
- Look for Brightening Ingredients. Hydroquinone, vitamin C, and kojic acid all promote a brightening effect. It will help in lessening the discoloration of your eye area.
- Take Antihistamine. During allergy, make sure that you take antihistamine tablets. Allergies worsen the swollen effect of the eyes. Sneezing and itching all contributes to the swelling of the eyes. Taking oral histamines may lessen the puffiness and the effects of the allergy to your eyes.
- Apply Concealers. If you are in a rush and you need to cover up those dark eye circles, concealers will do the job for you. you just need to find the right color that would suit your skin tone best.
In some rare cases, dark circles under the eye may appear to be a more serious problem. It can be a symptom of a more serious problem like hypothyroidism and trichinosis.
You must need to distinguish also the difference between a black eye and Dark Under Eye Circles. A Black eye is the bruising of the eye and may appear like a dark eye. It may disappear in time once the bruised has healed.
The proper remedy for dark eye circle depends on what causes it. it may be a bit difficult to cure a symptom which has started a long time ago than the once which has just resurfaced now. It's still better if we still practice the saying, "Prevention is still better than Cure."
Ways To Prevent Dark Under Eye Circles
- Elevate your Head When Sleeping. Try to use more pillows under your head to avoid the fluid from pooling underneath your eyes.
- Cold Compress. A pack of ice and sometimes cucumbers will do wonders for your eyes. Cucumbers are cool and they help in easing out pressure around your eye area.
- Avoid the Sun. Exposure to the sun really poses harm and danger not only to your eyes but your entire skin as well.
What If Dark Circles Don't Disappear?
If it seems impossible to remove your dark eye circles. There is a laser treatment that would solve your problems. Laser surgery is another option for people who seems to lost hope dealing with their dark eye circle problems.
Laser treatment destroys some of the melanin that darkens the skin. It can also be used to tighten loose skin and remove the baggy skin that makes it appear puffy and saggy.
So there you go, Dark Under Eye Circles may seem annoying to see but there are a number of ways to avoid it. Don't let yourself suffer from the dark problems of your eyes.
We hope that you found these tips useful for your skin but besides following these, you must know how to pick best skincare product for betterment of your precious skin.

In an interview with kentuckysports.com last month, Russell said, "People know Darrell Griffith, Rajon Rondo, Muhammad Ali. I want to be the next one on the list. So when people name those icons in our state, I want to be known as one of those icons. I don't want to be known as the person that came out of Florida."
Joining Russell on the list of invitees are:

The 2014 FIBA Americas U18 Championship will feature eight national teams from North, South and Central America and the Caribbean, including: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, United States and Uruguay. The top four finishing teams will qualify for the 2015 FIBA U19 World Championship for Men. Players eligible for this competition must have been born on or after Jan. 1, 1996.
"I'm very excited about going through this process again," said Billy Donovan, USA U18 National Team and University of Florida head coach. Donovan led the 2012 U18 and 2013 U19 USA National Teams to gold and a combined 14-0 record. "I see a lot of talent in this group, similar to the past couple of summers," Donovan said. "I'm looking forward to coaching them."

Jun Tzu – poet and rapper from Newtownabbey
Blog , May 4, 2014
I have skipped a few older bits of work to bring you this latest blog. Its a little different and I was very excited to be a part of it.
I have only heard of Jun Tzu recently. I had called to a friends house and he let me hear some of the youtube videos of his songs.
It was very strange hearing rap with a Northern Ireland accent. Unique. It stood out.
Then my friend told me about the songs and what Jun Tzu wrote about. It was a hard look at his past, living and coming from here, just on the outskirts of Belfast.
So my friend DG Magee (blog about the trip here) is involved in some really great initiatives in Northern Ireland and this was one of his latest ideas. We have known each other for over 20 years and this is the first time our paths have crossed professionally.
He had set up a couple of different workshops in different areas of the city and slightly further afield.
The workshops were wide and varied and I guess Jun Tzu and the people in the workshops knew quite what to expect.
From East Belfast and the Lower Newtownards Road with a local High School to Holy Cross Boys school in the Ardoyne and then to a youth centre in Kilcooley Estate in Bangor.
The first workshop in the Skainos Centre involved a group of prefect from Dundonald High School
In the middle of these two days we were able to do a couple of photo shoots with Jun Tzu.
Below Jun Tzu is in action in Kilcooley
The end of the second day was getting a bit late for me and unfortunately I missed his gig in the Menagerie off University Street. Some of the photos etc can be viewed on the link above to Dave's blog.
http://darrenanderson.co.uk/gallery/jun-tzu-northern-ireland-rap-artist/ is the gallery of some of the shots from the 2 days.

WOODBURY, N.J. - March 20, 2014 --Authorities say the man who shot himself inside Inspira Hospital in Woodbury, New Jersey, has died.
It was shortly before noon Thursday that authorities received a call about one person being shot on hospital property.
Sources tell Action News that a man walked into the Emergency Room and shot himself.
Doctors were able to revive the man after the shooting. He was then taken to the Cooper University Hospital's trauma center, where he died later Thursday.
No other injuries were reported. Police have not released the gunman's identity, except to say that he is a 26-year-old Gloucester County man.
Inspira Hospital was secured and there were no evacuations or lockdowns.
Officials say the gun used in the incident has been recovered.

New Delhi: Originally predicted in the early 20th century by Albert Einstein, gravitational waves – ripples in space and time – were not detected until 2015, when the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) identified the first such signal from two merging black holes.
On Wednesday, scientists announced the detection of a fourth gravitational wave signal coming as a result of the merger of two black holes.
It's the first time this phenomenon has been measured simultaneously by both the US-based LIGO and Italy-based Virgo detectors.
The first direct evidence of gravitational waves was detected in February 2016.
LIGO's two detectors, located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, later detected two other similar events, Xinhua reported.
The latest observation was made on August 14, 2017. It's the first gravitational wave signal recorded by the Virgo detector.
"Today, we are delighted to announce the first discovery made in partnership between the Virgo Gravitational-Wave Observatory and the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the first time a gravitational-wave detection was observed by these observatories, located thousands of miles apart," said France Cordova, Director of the US National Science Foundation, which funded the LIGO project.
"This is an exciting milestone in the growing international scientific effort to unlock the extraordinary mysteries of our universe," Cordova added.
The detected gravitational waves were emitted during the final moments of the merger of two black holes with masses about 31 and 25 times the mass of the Sun and located about 1.8 billion light-years away, researchers said.
The newly produced spinning black hole has about 53 times the mass of our Sun, which means that about three solar masses were converted into gravitational-wave energy during the coalescence, they said.
A paper about the event has been accepted for publication in the journal Physical Review Letters.
The Virgo collaboration, which joined in the LIGO's observation on August 1, consists of more than 280 physicists and engineers belonging to 20 different European research groups.
Here are some things about gravitational waves you should know:
- Gravitational waves are ripples that travel at the speed of light through the fabric of space-time.
- Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves in his general theory of relativity a century ago, and scientists have been attempting to detect them for 50 years.
- On February 11, 2016, physicists from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) announced that they had detected gravitational waves from a black hole collision, proving Einstein was right. The LIGO detections represent a much-awaited first step toward opening a whole new branch of astrophysics
- Prior to the direct detection of gravitational waves, there was indirect evidence for their existence. For example, measurements of the Hulse–Taylor binary system suggest that gravitational waves are more than a hypothetical concept.
- The historic detection of gravitational waves may open a new era of astronomy in which gravitational waves are tools for studying the most mysterious and exotic objects in the universe.

Where is Frank Ocean's Album? 'Boys Don't Cry' Is Not Out Yet
Fans of Frank Ocean are upset after they were led to believe that the singer would finally drop his new album Boys Don't Cry on Friday (August 5), though the album was never released.
Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that Apple Music would debut the new album and it would have a two-week window of exclusivity before other retailers could sell it.
Boys Don't Cry is Frank's follow-up to his widely acclaimed 2012 album Channel Orange, which won him the Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album.
We will update everyone on when Frank actually decides to release the album!
ARE YOU EXCITED to hear Frank Ocean's new music?

Nature Notes and the Popping Seed Pods!
I had seen the larger, mature version of these in dried arrangements. And, I have heard these called Japanese Lantern Trees. But, when I google that, a lot of different types of tree appear, including this one. So, if you know any more about this type of tree, please let me know!
I have prepared this post so as to participate in Nature Notes over at RamblingWoods.com. Nature Notes is a lot of fun - we get together weekly to show and tell what nature is up to in our parts of the world!

Frequently Asked Questions
2 race numbers will be provided to each entrant / team. Numbers must be worn on the back during the cycle, and on the front during the run (numbers are not worn during the swim). Entrants may chose to either pin these appropriately to their cycling and running jerseys, pin both to a single jersey worn for cycle and run or use a number belt (which is rotated front to back).
Yes, the event will use timing chips and you will be provided with a swim time, a cycle time, a run time, transition times and an over time and placing. Your responsibility will be to wear the timing chip as instructed (on ankle) at all times and to always cross timing mats. Relay teams must remember to pass the timing chip between legs. A manual timing system will also be used to provide overall finish times (no splits) in the event of a timing system failure.
Under Triathlon Ireland and event rules, the wearing of helmets is mandatory for the bike section. Please remember to bring a helmet with you, as failure to wear one will result in your dismissal / disqualification from the race.
- Portlaoise Try-athlon is a first-timer friendly race. You do not need any special bike to compete, though we insist on the bike you use being road-worthy (a pre-race inspeciton of bikes at transition will take place). Mountain bike, touring bike, racing bike, commuting bike are all permissable as long as they are found to be road-worthy.
Triathlon is a very popular sport, and a quick search on the internet reveals many, many sources of advice and opinion on training. The organisers have picked out the best of these for beginners on this page. The best advise, however, is simply to contact your local triathlon club (see triathlonireland.com for details of clubs). Trilogy Triathlon is based in Portlaoise and are organising this event. If you are local or near to Laois, then Trilogy would be very happy to hear from you. See more at www.trilogy.ie.

After 8:00am, entrants not registered will not be permitted to race. The actual time of starting will depend on the wave you are allocated to, and this in turn will be based on your estimated swim time (similar abilities start together). Wave times will be confirmed closer to the race date on this website and will also be advised at registration.

Mark Field (Cities of London and Westminster, Conservative)
As my hon. Friend Bob Blackman has made clear, the Government, at the behest of the very well funded, vocal and influential health lobby, are examining whether to introduce plain packaging for the nation's tobacco industry. I, for one, believe that that is an entirely unjustified step and that it would create an unsettling precedent—the state prohibiting the producers of a legal product to use its legally protected and valuable branding. It is a serious challenge to all those who believe in free markets, enterprise and the economic system of capitalism.
I would very much agree with what was said in the earlier exchanges: if it is such a terrible product, have the honesty, as many in the health industry do not, to say that the whole product should be banned. I would accept that if it is felt to be such an unhealthy product, it should be banned, but we would also then be going down a road that would probably, before long, affect the alcohol industry, fatty foods and so on. That is not a state of affairs that I would like.
John Glen (Salisbury, Conservative)
Would my hon. Friend not wish to make a distinction between moderate consumption of alcohol and fatty foods, which is perfectly tolerable, and moderate consumption of cigarettes, which have an appalling effect, no matter how many are consumed? There is a real distinction.
Mark Field (Cities of London and Westminster, Conservative)
No doubt the health lobby would quickly suggest that alcohol and fatty foods were equally intolerable, even at the lowest level.
Let me make it clear at the outset: I accept fully that tobacco is addictive, but it is a legal drug for adults. I am the father of two young children—a son of five and a daughter of two—and I would not want them to take up tobacco, not least because my late father also died of lung cancer. In passing, it is worth making the observation that our coalition partners and the Opposition would allow 16 and 17-year-olds to vote, but not to purchase cigarettes. The age restriction for tobacco, of course, has risen from 16 in recent years.
I accept that tobacco smoking is subject to commensurate regulations and restrictions. No one should sensibly want to see children take up smoking or should encourage them to take up the habit. I believe that we should do all we can to discourage, to educate and ultimately to prevent those under the legal age from taking up smoking. However, I also believe passionately in the concept of freedom of choice. The decision of whether or not to smoke should remain that of an informed adult, without gratuitous interference from the state.
One should not forget that tobacco is already one of the most highly regulated products in the world. The introduction of plain packaging would almost certainly amount to a regulation too far, and the so-called "denormalisation" of tobacco is not a sufficiently valid policy decision to justify such action. Any decision by the coalition Government must be unequivocally evidence-based. To contemplate taking such a significant measure for a legal product, the evidence base must be rock solid and reliable, with a guarantee that it will have the outcome intended.
I must confess that I am very pleased that the Department did not place a bid in this year's Queen's Speech, and that the Government, with a very libertarian junior Minister as we know, have sensibly delayed making a decision until it is clear what impact plain packaging has in Australia, where a plain-packaging law has been introduced. In my view, it makes sense to see how that experiment works first, before following their lead.
Any decision must be categorically made on the basis not of who shouts loudest or which side of the debate is able to muster the largest number of automated e-mail responses. The enforced introduction of plain packaging would infringe fundamental legal rights that are routinely afforded to international business. It would erode some important British intellectual property and brand equity, and it would create a dangerous precedent for the future of commercial free speech in areas such as alcohol and, indeed, within the food industry.
There is so much more that I would like to say, Mr Hollobone. It has been an interesting debate. I accept that my contribution is on a different path from those of many other Members here, but it is a voice that perhaps needs to be heard in this debate, which we will no doubt have in the months and years to come.

WILLIAMS: "If truth is put before unity; unity truly and acutely suffers."
Remarks made by the Archbishop of Canterbury to the ACC Conference in Nottingham
NOTTINGHAM (6/20/2005)--"So for some we have a problem of the Church accepting a set of false premises, a wrong and unbiblical picture of human nature; for others a problem of communicating with human beings where they actually are; in terms they can grasp ... the question is how far the concern for reaching an understanding with the world about sexual ethics is based on uncritical acceptance of the values of a [modern] culture ... [Some] may have to recognise that there is a difference between campaigning for civil equality and declaring discipline or defining holiness for the Church of Christ, a difference between including all who come to Christ and being indifferent to how human lives are actually challenged and altered by him.
Very tentatively, I believe that this is how we should see our situation. Christian teaching about sex is not a set of isolated prohibitions; it is an integral part of what the Bible has to say about living in such a way that our lives communicate the character of God. Marriage has a unique place because it speaks of an absolute faithfulness, a covenant between radically different persons, male and female; and so it echoes the absolute covenant of God with his chosen, a covenant between radically different partners. Those who have criticised the blessing of same-sex partnerships have been trying, I think, to say that we cannot change what we say about marriage without seriously upsetting what you might call the ecology of our teaching, the balance of how we show and speak of God.
They would say that blessing same-sex unions has this effect, and that without such blessing people living in such unions are at least in tension with the common language of the church. And living in this tension is not a good basis for taking on the responsibilities of leadership, especially episcopal leadership, what ever latitude wee allow to conscience and pastoral discretion ion particular instances among our people. This, incidentally, is broadly the view of the authors of the "St Andrew's Day Statement" of 1997, which remains a helpful reference point, managing to avoid a bitter politicising of the dispute. It's method deserves more imitation than it has received.
So there are two issues coming out of this that need patient study. What is the nature of a holy and Christ like life for someone who has consistent homosexual desires? And what is the appropriate discipline to be applied to the personal life of the pastor in the church? The last Lambeth Conference concluded that the reasons just outlined made it impossible to justify a change in existing practice and discipline; and the majority voice of the Communion holds firmly to this decision.
It is possible to uphold this decision and still say that there are many unanswered questions in the theological picture just outlined, and that a full discussion of these needs a far more careful attention to how homosexual people see themselves and their relations. The Lambeth Resolution called for just this. It also condemned in clear terms, as did earlier Lambeth Conference, the Windsor Report and the Primates' Dromantine Statement, violent and bigoted language about homosexual people - and this cannot be repeated too often. It is possible to uphold Lambeth '98 and to oppose the shocking persecution of homosexuals in some countries, to defend measures that guarantee their civil liberties. The question is not about that level of acceptance, but about what the Church requires in it's ordained leaders and what patterns of relationship it will explicitly recognise as unquestionably revealing of God. On these matters, the Church is not persuaded that change is right. And where there is a strong scriptural presumption against change, a long consensus of teaching in Christian history, and a widespread ecumenical agreement, it may well be thought that change would need an exceptionally strong critical mass to justify it.
That, I think, is where the Communion as a whole stands. That is why actions by some provinces have caused outrage and hurt. To invite, as does the Windsor document, those provinces to reconsider is not to say that there are no issues to be resolved, no prejudice to be repented of (because there unquestionably is much of this); it is not to reject the idea of an "inclusive" Church or to canonise an unintelligent reading of the Bible. It is to say that actions taken in sensitive matters against the mind of the Church cannot go unchallenged while the Church's overall discernment is as it is without injuring the delicate fabric of relations within the Church and so compromising its character.
It is said that there are times when Christians must act prophetically, ahead of the consensus and that this is such a time for some of our number. We should listen with respect to what motivates this conviction. But we also have to say that it is in the very nature of a would-be prophetic act that we do not yet know whether it is an act of true prophecy or an expression of human feeling only. To claim to act prophetically is to take a risk. It would be strange if we claimed the right to act in a risky way and then protested because that risky act was not universally endorsed by the Church straight away. If truth is put before unity - to use the language that is now common in discussing this - you must not be surprised if unity truly and acutely suffers.
What, I wonder, so we imagine God saying to us at the end of things? Not, I think, "Did you successfully negotiate the structural and ethical problems of the Anglican Communion?" but perhaps, "Did you so live in the experience of the Church, the Body of my Son, that a tormented world saw the possibility of hope and of joy?" "Did you focus afresh on the one task the Church has to perform - living Christ in such a way that his news, his call, is compelling? The Orthodox Church at the Liturgy prays for "A good answer before the terrible judgement seat of Christ"; we might well pray the same, as we pray for the wisdom to know how to speak to each other in this meeting so that we speak at the same time to the world Christ loves and longs for."

Groin-flashing frog found in Australia
A new frog species of frog called ''Uperoleia mahonyi'', and dubbed Mahony's Toadlet has been discovered by a biologist near Australia's Newcastle Airport. Jillian Kitchener reports.
STORY: A familiar sound... From a rare type of frog. Newcastle University Biologist Simon Clulow discovered the previously unknown species, dubbed 'Mahony's Toadlet', at Oyster Cove in Australia. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DR SIMON CLULOW, NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY BIOLOGIST, SAYING: "As you can see here it's a spectacular little beast... It's surprising that something so small could create such a loud noise that you can hear all around me." There's the noise... but Clulow says he realized it was a new species when he saw the unique pattern on its stomach. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DR SIMON CLULOW, NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY BIOLOGIST, SAYING: "The belly is almost marbled, black and white, which is very usual for this genus, it's one of the first things that I noticed." Clulow says the frog's first line of defense is to mimic its natural surroundings to avoid detection. BUT it also flashes its orange groin when confronted by predators. Rarer still is the location it was found in. Most new vertebrate species are found in isolated and poorly explored areas... not within a populated city close to an airport. Because of its habitat, Clulow says 'Mahony's Toadlet' could be at risk. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DR SIMON CLULOW, NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY BIOLOGIST, SAYING: "Unfortunately because the frog only seems to occur in these coastal sandbed swamps, quite a restricted distribution, it means it's probably under threat from things like coastal developments because, of course, everybody wants to live on the coast where these sand swamps occur and it's where developments often go in, and also sand mining." But for now, on the outskirts of Newcastle city, the 'Mahony's Toadlet' seems content to be a small frog in a big pond.

...in all my excitement over the Larrivee order, I forgot that I had ordered a "Bohemian Oil Can Guitar" last week - yes, a lefty!
It will arrive tomorrow - will be interesting to take it for a spin.
They have several different models and graphics at their website (www.bohemianguitars.com).

Well, since the D'Angelico went back, I think it's three (THIS year - the Lancaster will arrive next year): a Recording King 000, the Larrivee C-10 and this Bohemian Guitar.
I think my Princeton Reverb RI was also early this year, and Baggs Venue DI pedal and some acoutic guitar pickups...
...but, both of our cars are paid off, and we don't have any credit card debt... my biggest expense is my home and kids' (three of the four) college loan payments (I pay some; they pay some).

Well, sadly, this guitar is going back. That's too bad, because it has a cool raw sound and vibe. But...
1) It won't stay in tune. Cheapest tuners I've ever had on ANY guitar. They slip and feel like mush. Also, I'm not sure the frets are in the right locations - very out of tune, even on the first few frets (when you can get it in tune for a few seconds). I even moved the bridge a little, and angled it, checked intonation at the 12 fret with harmonics, got it pretty close, but it's not good, even when playing cowboy chords.
2) It's a cheap lefty conversion: they basically recut the slots in a righty nut (the high E string is wide enough to drop a low E in there), and the side dots are on the wrong side of the neck.
3) The Volume and Tone knobs were pressed on the pots crooked - got them sort of straightened out...
4) The strings don't go through any kind of tailpiece - they just go through the rolled edge of the bottom of the *can*. If I was going to keep this thing, I'd find a way to put a jazz style tailpiece on it to secure the strings - I think this is part of the reason it won't stay in tune. Very cheesy - and cheap.
5) The back of the can bends in and out against your body while you play. Just doesn't feel very solid or stable.
The good - as I said, it sounds pretty cool. So it has inspired me to try to build my own! If I do, I'll order a neck-through parts neck from Carvin (which can be ordered lefty, and with options like mahogany, walnut, etc., and my choice of all their headstocks, or a paddleboard to design my own).
That neck will cost about what this whole guitar cost, but I have the rest of the stuff I need (bridges, tuners, pickups, etc.) to put it together. I would probably do some kind of cigar box thing...that would take a little research and snooping around antique shops or wherever... The 'strat' pickup on here sounds pretty good, but I could also see using a P-90, or tele bridge pup...
Anyway, I sent a return request through Amazon, so it will go back soon...

I will say they (Bohemian Guitars) have been very good about the return - makes me feel better about doing business with them (although it doesn't completely make up for the deficiencies in their product - it definitely needs some work, at least for lefties - but probably righties, too).
Here's the e-mail exchange I had with them (which started with my return request through Amazon):
Item: Bohemian Guitar - Moonshine - Chrome Tuning Machines (left handed)
Qty: 1
Return reason: Defective/Does not work properly
Buyer comments: Won't stay in tune; cheap conversion to left-handed (side dots on wrong side of neck); lower quality than expected - this is unfortunate: it sounds good, but can't be played without going out of tune.
From Andy at Bohemian Guitars:
Hi Michael,
I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and your disappointment. It is not our intention to produce and ship inferior quality product.
I would like the opportunity to make it up to you by offering you a one-of-a-kind custom built guitar using a vintage oil can.
I value your honesty and would like to regain your trust in our brand and show quality of product we can produce.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed. We'd like to get started on your custom guitar so you can have it by Christmas.
Best, Adam
Thank you for your quick response.
I would rather just return the guitar at this point. I should not have received an "inferior quality product" (your words) to begin with.While it was an inexpensive instrument, I was hoping for something a bit better. I thank you for the offer, though.
Best Regards, Mike McInnis
I couldn't agree more and I appreciate the feedback. You should be receiving a refund confirmation shortly.
When you are in the business for a new guitar and please use promo/coupon code "XXXX" to receive a 35% of discount on your next order. I trust that this is not common for us and I hope to you revisit our our site in the future.
Again, I apologize.
Thank you for your generous offer - I'll keep that in mind.
Also, they have already credited the money back to my bank account, even though I haven't shipped the guitar back yet. That's pretty good service, which I appreciate.
So overall, a good experience, I'm just sorry that the product was so cheaply made.
Just wanted you all to know the rest of the story - they don't deserve a totally bad rap - they just need to work a bit on quality control. I know it's hard to hit a price point, but sometimes it doesn't pay to cut corners on things that really matter, like tuners on a guitar; they're too critical to product usability.

Gary Appel haggled $35.8 million off the value of the upscale Loews Hotel on Miami Beach, saving $715,000 in taxes. Michael Hagen won at least $36.7 million in reduced property assessments in Lee County last year, trimming 16 tax bills by $588,000. Gregory Orcutt got $38.4 million lopped off the property assessment of GL Homes in Tampa. Savings for the big developer: $844,000.
Call them tax consultants, agents, brokers or representatives (tax reps for short). By whatever name, they share a goal: shave their clients' property assessments and city and county property taxes as much as possible.
Tax reps can be mom-and-pop accounting firms with a post office box. They can be blue-chip lawyers with political clout. Or they can be promoters who hawk their tax-reduction services on the Internet.
At public hearings and more often behind the scenes, these hired guns dicker with county property appraisers in an appeals process marked by back scratching and slack oversight.
Florida relies heavily on property taxes for schools, police and fire protection, roads and other vital services.
Yet no state agency oversees tax reps, who number in the hundreds, or tracks how much they manage to cut each year from property tax rolls.
"It's a game and it can be extremely lucrative," said Tim Wilmath, director of valuation in the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser's Office. He was once a tax rep himself.
Some reps make up to 50 percent of any tax savings they achieve. Others charge up to $450 an hour. Some make a lot of money. Others don't.
Because the big money is in high-end commercial property, many tax reps are reluctant to take on single-family homes unless they're worth at least $1 million. Many less affluent homeowners don't need a tax rep anyway; they have "Save Our Homes," which caps the amount their assessment can rise from year to year.

Kansas lawmakers will not stop embarrassing the people they represent. The latest tirade comes courtesy of a dull-witted state Rep. Joe Seiwert, a Pretty Prairie Republican just west of Wichita.
And before going any further, can the people of District 101 please elect Democrat Clifton Beck on Nov. 8 and send an adult to represent them in Topeka? Thanks.
The Topeka Capital-Journal has a well-reported story on the Seiwert incident by Tim Carpenter. It includes this passage, which sums up the ignorance of Seiwert in a few sentences.
"Seiwert … commented under a photograph of performer Denasia Lawrence and a headline that said, 'I'm so sick of these anti-American blacks — f— Black Lives Matter.' The actual post didn't delete letters from the offending word. 'Go back to where you claim home,' Seiwert said on the Facebook thread. 'So, if they don't like it here, I believe that their freedom completely allows them to go wherever they believe is more fair and non-racist."'
Lawrence had had the gall to take a knee while singing the national anthem prior to an NBA basketball game recently.
Last week, House Speaker Pro Tem Peggy Mast — an Emporia Republican — seemed to praise Adolf Hitler in another social media post.
Seiwert of course is free to spew his racially tinged nonsense. He will score points with some people who don't like the Black Lives Matter movement and with others who want people to stand at attention during the national anthem. I get all that.
But people like Seiwert — who take public funds to represent the people of Kansas — also keep showing they need a course in civics.
Lawrence has the perfect right to protest what she sees as insensitive treatment of minorities in America.
Seiwert has the right to get upset about it.
But when he tells a black person to "go home," that's just offensive and uneducated. Black people don't have to leave America because they don't salute the flag or, frankly, even respect it.
Next time, Joe, keep your mouth shut. Better yet, keep your fingers off the keyboard connecting you to social media.

Recipe: Lamb and Rosemary Suet Pudding
You have no idea how much this recipe excites me. Maybe a little bit sad, that as a 19 year old i can get so enthusiastic about a suet pudding! This is the first time i've made suet pastry. I suppose older generations would have had their parent's make plenty of steak and kidney puds for them when they were little- But growing up with vegetarian parents never experienced any of that.
I don't often make pastry either. But this recipe was so delicious and the pastry is a wonderful consistency- not soggy atall. The recipe looks complicated but it's easier than it sounds. I tried to make it as easier for other people to copy, but obviousely its the kinda recipe that you have to think 'it feels' or 'looks' right. The first picture is of the pie before i covered it in foil and chucked it in the oven. Second picture is when i've served it.
Pictures arent that amazing but im so proud of my pud! Good with gravy , spuds and green veg.
Lamb and Rosemary Suet Pudding (serves 4) £1.77 per portion (with 80g cooked frozen broccoli + instant gravy per person)
For the filling
2 tbsp olive oil
1 white onion, diced
1 stem rosemary, stalked and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
250-300g diced lean lamb (meat from the leg is best)
1 tbsp flour, seasoned (salt and pepper)
1 stem rosemary, stalked and finely chopped
2 tbsp redcurrant jelly
200ml red wine
2 bay leaves
For the pastry
225g self raising flour (sieved)
100g beef suet
1 tsp baking powder
2 stems rosemary, stalked and finely chopped
Salt and pepper to season
Cold water to mix (around 100ml-ish)
1. On a medium heat, sweat the onions, garlic and rosemary in the olive oil for 5 minutes, or until soft. Set aside.
2. Put the seasoned flour and rosemary and mix into the lamb, so that the meat is well coated. In the same pan used for the onions, add a little more oil and the lamb. Cook for 5 minutes or until the lamb is browned.
3. Add the redcurrant jelly and stir until melted. Add the reserved onions, wine and bay leaves, and cook on a low heat for 40 minutes. Leave to cool (overnight if possible- this helps the flavour get into the lamb).
4. Mix the self raising flour, baking powder, rosemary and seasoning in a bowl. Add cold water gradually (couple of tbsp per time) and mix until you have a ball of dough that isn't too crumbly.
5. Heat the oven to 180C (I use a fan oven, other oven temperatures may vary)
6. Cut a quarter out of the pastry (for the lid). Roll ¾ of the pasty on a floured surface until thin (not sure about measurement totally, about ½ a centimetre). Cut into a circular shape and place into a buttered Pyrex dish.
7. Pour the lamb mixture into the pastry. Roll out the ¼ of the pastry on a floured surface thinly, cut into a circle and place on top, pressing all the edges to seal the pudding.
8. Cut out a circle of greaseproof paper (that's rubbed with butter!) on top of the pudding, and wrap a double layer of tin foil tight around the Pyrex dish. Place in a roasting tray (used kinda like a bain-marie) filled with water and place in the oven. Cook for 1hr and 30 minutes.
9. Remove from the bain-marie. Remove the tin foil and greaseproof and put back in the oven and cook for 10 minutes (this is to help the pastry to go crisp and stop sogginess). Serve!

Music Source : I mostly get my music from the cloud nowadays. I use to download mp3's at 192kbps and store them, catalog them etc. I still have them but i never use this way to navigate into the music i listen to nowadays.
Youtube – The ultimate source for any kind of music. Though as a service its designed around video and can be hard to find music you want if you don't know what you want.
Spotify – I'm love with this service and i have started having a premium membership. The quality is crisp and the latency is noν-existent. I can find alomst anywthing i usually listen to, control the player from my android phone and even store it since i started the priemium membership which has no pesky adverts
Last.fm – A very old service i use. It use to have a similar artist radio feature though nowdays it player everything through spotify and youtube. I mostly use it for artists info and to catalog and index the music ive come across in the past 10 years
Soundcloud – For unknown artists and dj mixes. Nice and clean cut service overall
Tunein Radio – The best service for fm stations localy and worldwide. Has a wonderfull android app and syncs your saved stations
Local Downloader Music – I dont play and store any new music anymore as i used to though
Hardware / DSP:
I recently tried using a DSP app for macsox called Digital Power Station by Bongiovi Software. It enriches the sound dramaticaly using the right tweaks ($20)
Macbook pro 13″ 2010 which is a decent laptop even for today. I dont use the internal soundcard to output rather an external soundcard mentioned below
Prodigy Cube by Audiotrak (100$) – This little cute piece of hardware is very useful when you use an amplifier with a digital optical or spdif input. When the distance of your laptop in some meters from your sound system then using a digital signal is vital for zero noise and interference. It can also be used combined with your onboard soundcard as a 4ch aggregate output device as shown in the picture below. An other useful aspect when using 2 soundcards is the ability to drive sound to different outputs using the SoundSource app described above. For instance i may listen to music from my speakers and output Skype from my laptop.
The Sony STR-DB840 amplifier does the job pretty well, using the optical connection and the auto format decode (AFD) profile
Quintas 6000 Speakers (300$ aprox) – The last and maybe most important part of your speaker setup is your output speakers. For those of you which regard as a highly import priority their music habits may consider purchasing a set of speakers which will probably get your through many years, overliving all your other electronic and computer equipment. I never regretted purchasing the speaker set below which i found to be an excellent value to performance ratio

Hey, Kids!
Been awhile, I know; the fates have decreed that I should have the worst season ever, and so...
Couple notes here: I have a MYSPACE account, look me up. I also have an account with COMICSPACE. If you ain't seen it, do so, quickly!
Hope all is well with y'all and y'allses. The Christmas holiday has always been a downer for me, not the least reason being that my Dad passed away right around this time...
I am grateful for my wife, for not only putting up with me, but also supporting just about everything I do, even when it's not in my best interests, and letting me learn from my mistakes. I'm grateful for my daughter. I'm grateful for my family, my sisters, whom I love to death, even though we don't talk; my brother, who put me on the path to comics to begin with. When I was quite young, my bro was my hero. I thought he was the greatest artist in the world, next to John Buscema and Neal Adams, and I longed for the day when I could work with him. Although he never got in the biz, and I never got to draw comics, I owe all of it solely to him. If you ever read this, Lee... thanks.
I'm grateful as well for my family's families; all the nieces, nephews, cousins, just for living their lives as best they can. Special shout out to my grand-niece Janine, who beat her bout with Cancer by pretty much kicking its ass! Props to Phillip, Renee, and Phillip Anthony, too!
I'm fortunate to have many circles of friends (from the inner circle to the outer rings) who have shown me nuttin but love over the years, and they include (in no particular order) Shorty/Candy/TMalo70/Tony Maldonado, Juan Arevalo, Johnny Gomez, Nick Muntean, Eric LeFeber, LaMorris Richmond, Tony Akins, Lou Bank, Mark Cox, Dan Dougherty, Doug Klauba, Len Kody, Gary Reed, Norm, Kevin, Mike, Sonny, TTrib, Davers, Andy, Tom, Cindy, Iris, Vic, and many many more, too many to mention here.
Hope you all have a great holiday, and please give Peace a chance.

Cherry Blossoms
When in bloom, the cherry blossom trees that line the Tidal Basin in Washington, D. C. are a dazzling site. A gift from Japan in 1912, they symbolize the growing friendship between the two countries. This initial gift of over 2,000 trees was supplemented in 1965 by another gift of nearly 4,000 cherry trees. My weight is a tribute to their fragile beauty. New Jersey is no stranger to these trees with their exquisite blossoms. Newark's Branch Brook Park, a site on both our State and National Historic Registers, is home to more than 2,000 cherry trees that blossom during April. They were a 1927 gift from the Bamberger and Mrs. Felix Fuld family and surely brighten this city's landscape.

The divided Congress and looming transition will make it difficult to move science legislation in 2016, and we must anticipate the next presidents willingness to support important scientific endeavors during the next several years. We must continue our work even though election years mean inevitable delays in the funding and green-lighting of projects, as politicians wait to see how the election plays out.
An Uncertain Future
Politicians on both sides of the aisle become conservative during election years for fear of jeopardizing their jobs or hurting their parties chances of nabbing the presidency. Theyre less inclined to back controversial experiments or unpopular research. Its a sensitive landscape to navigate.
Scientists, researchers, and corporations engaged in life sciences should emphasize practical, achievable priorities over long-term goals to generate political support from both Democrats and Republicans.
Scientists and researchers need to direct their focuses on areas that promise breakthrough results and can be moved quickly toward the applied stage, meaning it will be available for use in real-life cases.
How Do You Prove Your Relevance to Skeptical Politicians?
Focusing on results and applicability mitigates the chances of losing funding or being blocked by politicians who may oppose certain projects. If the new administration doesnt understand or disagrees with a particular direction, it might ban or suppress that field.
More than 80% of Democrats and those who lean toward democratic ideals believe in the long-term value of basic scientific research, while only 62% of Republicans and Independents who lean toward republican ideals share that view, according to Pew Research Center. Pew also found that 33% of Republicans and like-minded Independents think science research investments are not worth it." Thats why we need to move swiftly and demonstrate value to gain political and public support that will hold regardless of whos in office.
President Obamas Precision Medicine Initiative offers a promising idea for how the government can invest in important biotech initiatives, and its crucial that we maintain this momentum. The Precision Medicine Initiative focuses on genetic research and the impact that genes, lifestyle, and environment have on different types of diseases and treatments.
Under this program, the National Institutes of Health will conduct genome research based on patients electronic medical records and will begin clinical trials for new cancer treatments. The Food and Drug Administration is also participating, forming unique regulatory approaches to genomic technologies. Its imperative for the government to continue supporting these initiatives. Genome research will allow life sciences to better know about some diseases or conditions at the genetically molecular level, recommend accordingly reasonable preventive measures, and try to develop treatments for previously devastating conditions.
To use President Obamas example, precision medicine could be a great way to find the participating genes in organ regeneration, which could help the development of regenerative technology. The ability to restore aging or damaged organs to their healthiest states would transform the quality of life of millions of people, not to mention alleviate a huge burden on the economy. Finding a treatment for chronic illnesses or a method to slow aging would allow more people to participate in the workforce, reducing the number of dependents on government assistance.
Precision medicine is also essential to developing a fully sequenced human genetic database. Such a resource would help scientists crack the code to chronic diseases and debilitating conditions. Life science research of this kind has massive implications for human well-being and economic development. The only way to ensure continued government support is to showcase the real-world potential so the public demands ongoing funding.
Ensuring Life Sciences Future
Life scientists also need to demonstrate applied uses for their research to inoculate the field against misleading influence from academic areas. A well-placed adviser can suppress life-saving research or curtail developments in a certain research track for years, ultimately delaying important cures and risking countless lives.
The more we can prove the real-world, near-term value of life science research, the more likely politicians of both parties will be to provide funding and support to the most innovative projects of our time.

text: I have just joined a new ship. The ship's A and domestic fridge plant use the new ozone friendly fridge gases which are a blend of gases. Discussing the fridge plant with the previous Chief, he told me that if we had any leaks we could not top up the remaining gas in the system but had to dump all the gas in the system and completely recharge it. He thought that if there was a leak the proportions of the different gases in the blend would change and therefore the operating characteristics. I have never heard of this before. What does everybody else think?
