Carlow Arts Festival is a 5 day festival in June, during the course of which work spanning all genres is presented in venues on the Festival Campus at Carlow College, VISUAL and various sites in Carlow town. With a four-decade track record of artistic excellence, and a renewed commitment to socio-cultural relevance, the Festival has an established audience, but is constantly looking to grow, to innovate, to raise the bar of excellence, and to push artistic boundaries. Most importantly, it is an organisation that creates opportunities – for audiences to experience transformative art, for artists to present their work; for creative entrepreneurs and those working in peripheral industries to derive economic benefit from the event; for a broad range of stakeholders to engage with the arts. Our Values are Inclusion, Audacity, Fun, Passion and Preparedness. Our Place is Carlow.
Festival Programme
Carlow Arts Festival comprises a multi-disciplinary programme curated by the Festival Director/CEO, augmented by responses to 2 open calls, one for ARTWORKS, our main visual arts programme co-presented with VISUAL, Carlow, and secondly through a call for proposals in the performing arts.
Festival Team
We work as a small but effective team of passionate creative professionals. The Festival staff is made up of the part-time Director/CEO, and part-time Festival Manager.

Lean development techniques continue to garner a lot of attention, but in practice their acceptance has been slow and the results have been mixed. As a development or test manager, there are a set of lean principles you can leverage to help eliminate the largest source of waste in development – defects and the rework effort that results. Chris Manuel will discuss a framework for bringing lean concepts to improve structural quality and reduce defects.

"Okay, fish, you're probably wondering why I'm still here. Catching you will make me the most famous fisherman there is, right up there with . . . that . . . the, uh . . . that bald guy on the cable fishing show." – Homer Simpson
This week we have two links looking at various Simpsons Christmas episodes, one to start things and one to end them. It goes almost without saying that both of them agree with us. In addition to that, we've got several more Christmas links, some excellent usage, more merchandise of various kinds, some fantastic fake movie posters, some fan made stuff, two links about the otherwise improbable idea of featuring a cartoon character on a show about designing clothes, and two links where "The War of the Simpsons" comes out ahead, tournament style.
The Simpsons Christmas – This is far more forgiving of Zombie Simpsons than I'm willing to be, but is a nevertheless impressive rundown of various Christmas episodes.
Simpsons T-Shirts – That Simpsons t-shirt contest ended and there are now 29 new shirts you can buy from Threatless.
Has The Simpsons Run Its Course? – Short answer yes with a 'but', long answer yes with an 'if'.
Películas de Los Simpsons reciben Posters Reales – These fantastic Simpsons posters were making the rounds this week. I especially like the Jay Sherman quote on the McBain poster.
The Simpsons x Converse 2014 Spring Chuck Taylor All Star Hi – Remember when they said they were going to have even moar merchandise? Here's some shoes.
More Homer Simpson beer moments – Three YouTube videos of some of Homer's beer antics. (And nothing past Season 11.)
George Carlin on Thoughts – Heh. Nice combination.
5-paragraph review of 'The Simpsons: Yellow Subterfuge' – An admirably succinct review:
Skinner bans Bart from a school trip to a see a submarine. So Bart and Homer exact revenge by faking the death of Skinner's mother, Agnes. By this time in the episode, I was only half paying attention. "The Simpsons" is essentially background noise at this point in its run.
Burn, Baby, Burn – Excellent sunburn related usage:
Busker sings: Sunshine on my shoulders, makes me happy –
Random pedestrian punches him in the face. – The Simpsons
I totally feel like the pedestrian, not because of a heatwave (not yet, it is summer in Sydney), but because of my sunburn. It's like I got tattooed sleeves of red flesh. Owie.
Hope the burn feels better.
How The Simpsons Brand Took Over The World – This is a long and not terribly informative write-up of the continued popularity of Simpsons crap tied in with the release of the Threadless t-shirts. But while I don't recommend reading it, it's worth a click for the YouTube video that's a news report on Bartmania from 1990. It was on the Season 1 DVDs, so you may have seen it already, but it's a nice little slice of the time.
TV Character Bracket: #5 Homer Simpson vs. #12 Cliff Huxtable – This has a poll at the bottom, and while Homer is currently ahead, I'm sure he could use some more votes.
The Simpsons Movie: the dysfunctional yellow icons make it to the big screen – Too true:
As a result, even the characters are shadows of their old yellow selves, complete with mistimed punchlines, and the cameos – including Tom Hanks and Green Day – are too brief to register. It seems absurd that, between eleven of arguably the funniest writers in America, no-one could come up with a good story.
We'll never know what they might have come up with if they hadn't focus tested it into the ground.
Matt Groening creator of The Simpsons Quote of Creativity – Wise words:
"Living creatively is really important to maintain throughout your life. And living creatively doesn't mean only artistic creativity, although that's part of it. It means being yourself, not just complying with the wishes of other people."
– Matt Groening creator of The Simpsons
The Bechdel Test vs. cartoon pilot episodes – I can never get enough of that episode:
The Simpsons
Does it pass the Bechdel Test? YES
Is it an accurate tester for gender bias? YES.
Comments: technically the pilot episode was a 3 minute short, BUT Maggie and Marge talk for a full 20 seconds about breakfast and waking up in the morning. This one surprised me too.
PoeMania – Origins – Count me among the people for whom this is true:
But it was with some amusement that I realised it was The Simpsons that started it for me. You've seen the one I mean, right? The first Treehouse of Horror, originally aired in 1990 (but it was a few more years before I saw it one Halloween) and narrated by James Early Jones… The Raven as spoken by Mufasa! Mint!
As a result, I can't really take The Raven all too seriously. I'm fine with the rest of his works… But for the Raven? All I hear is Bart Simpson squawking 'nevermore' and Jones: 'quoth the raven'.
I have an animated family to thank for my literary enrichment though. So thanks Homer!
Homer's barely contained rage at the "take thy beak from out my heart" part is the definitive spoken version.
Designing for Marge Simpson! – They designed for Marge on Project Runway, and here are one woman's initial sketches for it. Also, too:
P.S. Anyone else surprised the Simpsons is still airing?? Who would've thunk it!!
Marge Simpson Gets New Dress Designed By '˜Project Runway'™ Contestant – And here's a brief little write-up of the actual show.
Sam Taylor Draws Mutant Simpsons Characters And Drunken Monsters – Milhouse and Baby Gerald are particularly creepy here. Well done.
Check out Ned Flanders as a Simpson LEGO – Just what it says.
Bart Sledding – Fan made painting in the medium of iPad. Wintery and appropriate.
Dag 311 – T-shirt of Homer breaking his own couch.
Simpsons – Super Nintendo Chalmers – Great .gif, they've got the look on everyone's face frozen perfectly except Ralph, who's talking.
the simpsons-an unathorized history by john ortved – An appreciative review, and yeah, Groening's a good sort:
i loved the epiphany that came from reading about matt groening's start reviewing punk records. he realized, that although he was quite passionate about the music, he realized that he wasn't good at it because he didn't move units of punk music (and how sweet is it that he actually went to the record store to count!)-like, whoa.
Simpsons Tournament Section:
Round 94: Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy vs. Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy – Man, I don't even have an opinion.
Round 93: The Boy Who Knew Too Much vs. Treehouse of Horror XVII – Thanks for playing, Season 18, but nobody loves you:
Not a particularly good Halloween special. The first segment (Blob) is awful, the second (Golem) slightly better but still pretty bad and the third (War of the World) has some nice things going for it – I especially liked the 1930′s design of the people of Springfield – but ultimately disappoints, as well.
Round 92: When Flanders Failed vs. The War of the Simpsons – The first of two times "The War of The Simpsons" comes out ahead this week.
THE BEST EPISODE THINGY THERE EVER WAS ROUND 1 The Crepes Of Wrath VS. Some Enchanted Evening – Great screengrab of Homer in mental and physical agony after falling down the stairs.
THE BEST EPISODE THINGY THERE EVER WAS ROUND 1 The War Of The Simpsons VS. The Call Of The Simpsons – Never gets old:
John: Here's your crown your majesty!

Cool Whip…In 10 Words – Licorice whip?
21st Century's Carey Sees "Simpsons" As "Defining Event" For FXX – Big scoop from Variety, FOX executive thinks FOX channel featuring FOX shows has nowhere to go but up! Film at 11. (Fuck you, Variety.)
Day #6: The Simpsons Triple Bill – Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire, Marge Be Not Proud, Miracle on Evergreen Terrace – And finally, I get to end with a Christmas retrospective that agrees with us (well, mostly). On "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace":
It's the problem with amplifying a story line up when you run out of places to go other than to keep getting increasingly more ridiculous and less grounded in reality or even logic. Other than that, it's a pretty funny episode that's still a fun watch, but you can see the cracks where The Simpsons was starting to become less consistent.
Indeed you can, and that was Season 9.

Top Reasons To Get A Degree From Malaysia
By the time 2020 rolls in, Malaysia proclaimed about 25 years ago, that they will be a self-sufficient and industrialised nation. One of the country's top goals is to be able to provide students with education that has world-class qualities. Because of this, today is an excellent time to study in the private universities in Malaysia. This Asian nation is on a speedy track to turn into a hub for students, both local and foreign, to attain diploma courses in Malaysia. If you want more reasons why you should get a degree from here, then read on.
The first reason is that the universities in Malaysia are improving tremendously and swiftly. According to the World University Ratings, many schools in the country have high ranks. Said schools with high ranks achieve success in the areas of education, math, law, engineering, politics and more. The IT courses in Malaysia, too, have shown high rankings.
Another reason that should convince you to study in the country is the fact that students can obtain British, American and Australian degrees in Malaysia. A huge portion of Malaysia's investment pertaining to higher education goes to funding partnerships with schools located in other countries. You'll discover that lots of schools from other nations, with the likes of Australia and the United Kingdom, have decided to place branch campuses in this southeast Asian country. Thanks to these smart partnerships with schools located in some of the top countries in the world, people can study one of the best business courses in Malaysia.
The high cost of education from the best universities all over the world is a big issue for the majority of people who want to study. The good news is that studying in Malaysia doesn't cost as much as studying in many of the top campuses in the world, yet you still attain a world-class degree. The course offered, you'll find, is the same module content, and they have the same evaluation criteria. And, as if that wasn't enough to convince you, the course will offer the same marking scheme, and this will then lead to you walking away with the same degree and status. For instance, if you study one of the art and design courses in Malaysia , you'll find your degree can compete with those of people who went to European universities.
Finally, it pays to mention that Malaysia is a beautiful country. You might wonder what this has to do with studying. We all need to take a break, and a beautiful place has been proven to open our minds and allow us to learn. Get a degree from Malaysia and we're certain you will reap rewards all your life.

For decades, the issue of America's faltering public school education system has evolved into a major problem. The challenge of educating children in foster care is more complex. The phenomenon associated with how children in foster care are educated in the United States requires social scientist and educators to re-evaluate its applications. Foster children represent one of the most academically vulnerable populations in the United States. Research suggests that foster children are at greater risk compared to non-foster children. Children in foster care have higher rates of absenteeism, disciplinary referrals, have significantly below-grade level academic performance, experience higher rates of grade retention, and experience disproportionate rates of social problems (Zetlin, 2006).
Buy Americas Faltering Public School Education System essay paper online
This tragic state of foster children's education outcomes suggests that educational and foster care systems have either not employed adequate resources to address this situation or have not developed effective intervention strategies geared towards achieving better results. The fact that several generations of foster children have had negative social and educational experiences leading to poor academic outcomes is appalling.Want an expert to write a paper for you Talk to an operator now
Many efforts and resources have been directed toward negating poor educational outcomes for children in foster care through federal, state and local initiatives. To help ensure successful educational outcomes for children and youth in foster care across the country, 12 organizations joined and formed joined wha the National Working Group on Foster Care and Education. In addition to Child Welfare League of America, the national working group on foster care and education consists of; The ABA Center on Children and the Law, American Public Human Services Association, Annie E. Casey Foundation, Casey Family Programs, Child defense Fund, Education Law Center (Pennsylvania), Juvenile Law Center, National CASA, National Child Welfare Resource Center on Legal and Judicial Issues, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, National Foster Parent Association and the Stuart Foundation (NWGFCE, 2010). These organizations have collaboratively addressed worked together to ensure successful educational outcomes across the country from a policy and best practice perspective (NWGFCE, 2010). Additionally, several key Federal and state Legislative mandates have attempted to address problems among children in foster care such as The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, The Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980, and The Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997. Despite the laudable goals of educational initiatives and legislative mandates, the educational deficits of foster children are reflected in higher rates of grade retention, lower scores on standardized tests, and higher absenteeism (Christian, 2003). For instance in 2002 only 54% of children in foster care earned a high school diploma
This problem affects thousands of vulnerable children in foster care each year. As a result of the abuse and neglect they have experienced, many of these children face significant challenges, including physical and mental health problems, developmental delays, educational difficulties, and psychological and behavioral problems (Freundlich, 2004). Children in foster placementss often experience a variety of social and emotional problems that stem from their history of being abused or neglected and from the disruption of being placed in foster care. The trauma experienced resulting from abuse and neglect often contributes toward other social and emotional difficulties which if left unattended could result to poor social and academic out comes. On the other hand these problems are not always clearly perceived by foster parents, caseworkers and teachers hence are left unattended. These problems and the transience of their home life in the foster care system can have a powerful impact on their ability to function in school (Ayasse, 1995).
There are many possible factors contributing to the problem, among which are the fact that public agencies generally and child welfare agencies in particular need to coordinate their activities with other human service departments. Child welfare is an especially pressing area for coordination among agencies. In addition to the trauma associated with abuse and child neglect, children and families involved with child welfare agencies often face many other problems, including poverty, mental illness, homelessness, unemployment, and frequent moves. Several different governmental systems provide services to address these difficulties. Yet, like many other government agencies, child welfare departments often operate in isolation from other social service providers (Ross, 2002).

Product Description
A sinister-looking weapon with the bite to back it up, Black Legion's Death Stalker Sword drips with dark, brooding style and ferocious cutting potency. The bladed menace is forged from a single piece of tough stainless steel, shrouded in an ominous black finish that underscores its wicked ferocity. Only the carefully honed edges of the Death Stalker's 18 1/2" blade are left exposed, yielding a dramatic visual contrast that impeccably complements the blade's sleek lines and delicate curvature. Jagged, fang-like cutout embellishments between the blade and handle smartly perpetuate the Death Stalker's bleak-chic motif. Wrapped in durable black cord, the tastefully minimalist handle makes this one-piece black beauty a pleasure to wield, even for extended slashing sessions. The stylized barbs at the pommel's corners echo the craggy cutouts below the handle. Combined, these jagged claw-, fang- or horn-like accents impart the Death Stalker with a fierce animalistic, almost predatory vibe that's sure to dishearten any foe who dares to confront it. But don't forget - the Death Stalker is a serious weapon with serious cleaving clout; this is no mere fantasy sword, intended to be relegated to a wall or display case. The included heavy duty black nylon sheath makes transport a breeze - no matter where you "stalk" your prey. Whether showcased in a collection or brandished in the field, Black Legion's menacing, savagely beautiful Death Stalker Sword has an eerie, almost unearthly ability to attract attention and reverent awe from all who lay eyes on it.

Its Perfect I already got two of them. Will definitely buy more in the future. Has a dangerous look to it and also it's very sharp. My favorite sword I'm truly in love with it.
for the price this is a good find
We are having a lot of fun with these!! But they are sharp.. so be careful... at this price you don't worry about screwing it up.. major FUN!
It's lightweight and great to look at. A nice piece. Just remember it's sharp!??
I liked it came really sharp right out of the box only problem i have had is the sheath broke on one just a few days after getting them
This is the first sword I've ever ordered. For the price, it's not bad. The blade comes fairly well sharpened and the sheath is not as bad as I thought it would be from the other comments. When you sheath/unsheathe the sword, lightly press the bladed side of the weapon into the sheath wall. This prevents the odd looking back side of the blade from snagging. Also, this is a one-handed weapon, so If you fight with two hands you should look at a different weapon. The blade was slightly scratched when it came.
Well made fairly sharp accurate description, delivered in a timely matter.
definitely very happy with this purchase, as described, came very sharp out of the box, not a huge fan of the paracord wrapped handle, but that's easy enough to fix, going to put a wooden handle on it, planning on purchasing another one soon, Great blade !
This is the first sword I've bought and I love it.Super well made worth every penny Great site Budk.Will be ordering again and again.
I bought this sword a while back and have had nothing but good service from it. Came very sharp. Not razor, but close. Had a bit of issue with cord loosening after some use. Fixed that easy enough with some Zap-A-Gap. This is basically a super glue for material and plastic.
I liked the overall shape and look of the blade. It has a very dangerous and intimidating look to it. The sword also comes very sharp, and there is no need to sharpen it.The one thing I want to note is that after a few swings, I started noticing that the nylon cords on the handle were shifting and eventually fell off. The sheath is not the best quality, because if you don't put the sword in properly, it will rip and the sword with fall through. It is a great sword for its price, and I would recommend it to anyone for $10.
I bought this as my second order from budk and also Black Legion, I'm impressed with the absolute razor sharpness of the blade, but as others have noted the sheath is a pain to get it out of. I'd hate to need to draw this quickly for defense and have it stuck! But when it does come out, I've yet to find a better way to drop $10!!
I put off buying this one for a long time. I bought the red death stalker a few years ago instead of this one. I like this one WAY better. The red one is dangerous to the user. This one isn't. This one is thinner, lighter, but just as sharp. Even the sheath is better. Can't wait to mess stuff up in my back yard with this one. Thanks BudK. Black Legion rules!
I like the weight of the sword. It's well crafted and surprisingly sharp. The sheath is ugly; I immediately threw it in the trash because I didn't really need it.
Am very happy with the sword. Only issue is with the few scratches on the blade an near the handle. Is sharp an tip is fine. I'll gladly recommend to family and friends. Groovy deal.
This is the best sword I have ever bought will definitely be buying more in future cuts clean through watermelon with ease
WOW! So impressed with the look & quality of this thing. Will DEFINITELY be ordering many more items.
Sword shipped with a light oil coating, a half-inch scratch a third of the way up on the black portion of the blade, two very small indents also on the black portion about an inch up and under the cutout halfway up, and some scuffs to the right of the Blacklegion stamp on the hilt. Minor annoyances. Not razor but still fairly sharp, has a plastic guard for the bottom hilt spike. It is full tang stainless steel, solid and doesn't feel like it'll snap from swinging it around. The cord handle moves around some but not enough to get in the way and is easily adjusted back to form. The only knock I have is the sheathe. The sword is so spiky that it catches every time and within the first day I spotted fray poking up from inside despite trying to be careful. Don't expect it to last long.
I gave it 4 stars because of the case. The sword looks really nice and feels like it's a good quality sword. But the casrme is cheap.
very nice blade very sharp i cut myself by accident pulling it out the sheath which is why this is 4 star and not 5 the sheath is pretty much useless for this blade it catches about 100% of the time trying to put it in and pull it out the blade itself cuts thru the end of the sheath easy wen putting in besides the sheath i love this blade

We use extensions for handling all kinds of things. This is a much cheaper alternative than buying a full set of longer forks which will cost you a small fortune. Save yourself some money and buy a set of these. They work great.

We handle large bundles of siding and plywood. We always had a problem handling these longer items. We purchased a set of the 6 ft. extensions and they work terrific. They can easily be but on or taken off the existing forks on any of our lifts. You can't appreciate these extensions until you actually have at set or 2. They are a huge time-saver. They paid for themselves the 1st week we had them.

They are easy to use. One person can easily put them on and take them off in a matter of seconds. Much cheaper than buying a new set of longer forks which we priced and found very expensive. These extensions are a much better alternative.

Facies Distribution and Paleogeographic Evolution of Pleistocene Carbonates in Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles
MetadataShow full item record
The interaction between the Caribbean and South American plates produced irregular sea-floor topography on Bonaire (part of the Leeward Antilles Islands), which enables the deposition of calcium carbonate sediments. To better understand the nature and post-depositional history of these deposits, the distribution of carbonate facies across Bonaire was investigated. Direct observations (visual and photographic) of exposed Pleistocene carbonate rocks were made, then hand and core samples were collected. The samples were analyzed using thin-section petrography, X-ray diffraction, electron microprobe, and stable-isotope methods. Four terraces occur on Bonaire, and are associated with tectonic uplift and glacio-eustatic sea-level changes (the oldest, highest terrace located at the island center; the lowest, youngest terrace located along the island edge). Correlation to the dated terrace on adjacent islands indicates the youngest terrace is ~125 ky old (last interglacial highstand of sea level). Results from the visual observations and petrographic analysis (e.g., rock constituents, cement habit, mineralogy, and porosity) were used to delineate seven facies: Acropora palmata rudstone, Montastrea annularis framestone, Coralgal grainstone/packstone, Mixed Coral framestone, Acropora cervicornis floatstone, Amphistegina sp. grainstone, and Dolomite. Facies distribution is related to wave energy and water depth. Facies Acropora palmata rudstone and Montastrea annularis framestone are located on the windward side of the island (deposited in a high wave-energy, barrier reef environment). Facies Mixed Coral framestone and Acropora cervicornis floatstone are located on the leeward side of the island (deposited in a low to medium-wave energy, fringing reef environment). Facies Coralgal grainstone/packstone are located on the platform interior (deposited in a low wave-energy, lagoonal environment). Facies Amphistegina sp. grainstone is located on the platform interior (deposited by eolian processes), and facies Dolomite is located at points across the island (formed by diagenesis of other facies). The dolomite displayed microcrystalline and sucrosic textures, and its δ^18OVPDB values ranged from -0.7‰ to 2.7‰ and their mean value was 0.7‰. The proposed model of dolomitization is seepage reflux, during which dolomite forms as heavy brine solutions with heavy δ^18O made by evaporative processes seep into underlying carbonate rocks.

Since the 1960s the world's travel industry has relied on Global Distribution Systems (GDS) to aggregate content, combining airline schedules, fares and availability into combinations accessible to travel agents, as well as aggregate hotel and car content.
The internet enables airlines to exert more control over what they want to display to the customer, unbundle products and charging supplements for seats, bags, meals etc. Historically, the GDS has not offered the same level of control and flexibility and many airlines see New Distribution Capability (NDC) as an enabler to deliver better and richer content, although whether the end result proves to deliver a cheaper or better alternative to traditional GDS content remains unknown.
NDC is an XML-based data transmission standard, developed by IATA that allows airlines to distribute their content in real-time. In effect, NDC sets the standard for airline APIs available to any TMC, travel agents, GDS, travel aggregators and corporates, subject to approval from the airline.

Celebrities are lucky enough to be able to experiment and try different looks with their hair! With the likes of Kim K and Nicki Minaj, they seem to go through the colours of the rainbow on the regular!
We've rounded up our favourite celebrity bombshells and share some hair tips. If you're brave enough to veer away from the dark side and experiment with your own locks, you're going to need to learn how to style it.
With VS Sassoon's stylist Rob Reeves' help we're taking a look at some of the most iconic blondes out there starting with the most famous blonde of all!
So, in the beginning, there was Marilyn Monroe, the blonde that defined a generation and set the pace. Fifty years later we're still trying to catch up. "This short 'blonde bombshell' look is still relevant," said Rob.
On top with a top knot, sometimes blonde Khloe Kardashian hits the mark with this current catwalk fave. She's always been a stunner with her blonde hair. Over the years she's always been able to keep her colour on point with regular treatments and trims.
For those of you with a bob, take inspo from the Queen of Cool, Dua Lipa. "It's a classic style that's always on trend," says Rob. Her length keeps it from looking too short and the blonde gives it that extra oomph! Make sure you regularly tone your blonde to keep it looking fresh!
"I love this look! Elle looks' Maleficent' here but her hair is slightly dry– always a risk for blondes. If your hair is also dry suggest you pre-treat your locks with a moisture and protein hair mask," advises Rob. Another tip for keeping your blonde on point is to use a weekly pre-shampoo oil treatment like natural coconut or macadamia oil. Apply to dry hair 20 minutes before washing."
A bachelorette no more, Ali Oetjen does her take on the messy bun here and we have to say, Meghan Markle watch out for your crown cos it's AWESOME! This style is perfect for the ultimate date night or wedding hairstyle!
If you like to keep your hair shorter (always a temptation in summer), try this hotter than hot look from GOT's Emilia Clarke. "This look relies on a few blonde tones from ice cool to warm honey and a good texturising product. Just run it through your damp hair before rough drying with your fingers," advises Rob.
Besties Jackie O and Sophie Monk are twin styling here – yup told you they were besties! Here they're sporting beautiful beachy waves which can easily be achieved at home! All you need is a great hairdryer to volumise your roots and a curler to add waves.
Finally, just like Charlize, put on your girl boss and totally rule with this oh-so-cool wave style. Heavy fringes are back! So consider one when you next go for a cut. If you want to know if this style suits you, do some research and see what celebrities have the same face shape as yourself to find out.
Before you think about styling your blonde locks, make sure you know how to maintain blonde hair. Then you can get your very own VS Sassoon dryer, styler or straightener at your nearest stockists to help style and protect your locks. Easily achieve any of these looks in the comfort of your own home!

Love your style, from the VS Sassoon team x

"I actually agree with this. Too much income disparity. Changes must be made, and soon!" 8/1/2020
The tweet links to a Business Insider video. I couldn't find the direct link on BI but it's on their twitter - I watched the first 3 minutes which basically says:
1) the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer
2) Federal Reserve low interest rates have fueled the stock market rise, mainly benefiting the rich
3) TARP bank bailout benefited the rich
Need I remind you:
Trump Hated Low Interest Rates. Then He Became PresidentOn Larry King Live on April 15, 2009, King asked Trump his opinion of Obama and Trump turned to the bailout in part of his answer:
"I do agree with what they're doing with the banks. Whether they fund them or nationalize them, it doesn't matter, but you have to keep the banks going," Trump said.

There is an historic storm blowing through eastern Nebraska, an unprecedented simultaneous success story at the University of Nebraska, Creighton University and the University of Nebraska – Omaha.
The flagship sports for the respective universities, Husker football, Bluejay men's basketball and Maverick hockey programs are in the midst of collective history. For the first time, all three programs are on a six-game winning streak, and all three teams are ranked No. 14 or higher in each sport's respective polls. It's a never-happened scenario that is helping our mid-western state to plant a flag on the national sports map. Remember where you were on this date, because after this week, it may not happen again.
All three teams face major tests coming into this week. Below we break down each teams rise to where they are now, take a look back at each team's streak and a look ahead to the upcoming week.
Husker Football
The Nebraska Cornhusker football season has been a roller coaster that would make even the toughest of guys, like Ndamukong Suh queasy. The goal preseason for Nebraska, coming in ranked No. 17 in the AP Poll, was to win the Big Ten Championship. But after a 4-2 start, a 25-point blowout in Columbus and knocked out the the polls, it seemed a pipe dream. Nebraska needed to go perfect through the final six game to get a chance at their goal. It took a team coming together, making a decision to not quit, and four gut-wrenching second-half comebacks, but the Huskers made the doubters have to watch and see this Saturday.
The winning streak is not to be understated. Nebraska hasn't won six straight since since 2001, where they started 11-0. The Huskers haven't won a conference championship of any kind since 1999. Ironically enough, with the theme of six, if Nebraska can win the Big Ten and go on to win the Rose Bowl, they would become just the sixth team to ever win all four of the current BCS Bowls (Rose, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta).
Nebraska, now ranked No. 12 in the BCS and No. 14 in the AP, faces a Wisconsin team Saturday that was a victim of one of those comebacks. Although the Badgers are just 7-5, they have the task of proving they belong in a game that Ohio State vacated.
Creighton Men's Basketball
The Bluejays started this season ranked No. 16 in the AP Poll and No. 15 in the coaches poll, their highest preseason ranking ever. Through their first six games, Creighton is averaging over 85 points per game and winning by a margin of 23 points per game (skewed a bit by the 48-point win over Longwood).
While it is early in the season, Creighton ranks fourth in team field goal percentage and 12th in points per game, and with the 6-0 start have climbed to 11th in both polls and have a good chance to crack the top ten in the coming week.
Creighton will host a 4-1 Boise State team tonight with the chance to open 7-0 for the second straight year. Their December schedule begins on the first with a home tilt against St. Joseph's and then the will make the short drive to Lincoln for a state-wide blood feud with Nebraska (who will be 6-1 or 5-2) on Dec. 6.
Its possible to imagine the scenario that Creighton will be 12-0 heading into Missouri Valley play, assuming they survive a tough coast trip to Cal on Dec. 15.
Nebraska-Omaha Hockey
The so-called media experts and coaches didn't expect much from the Maverick hockey team this season as UNO was picked eighth in both the WCHA preseason media poll and coaches' poll. However the Mavericks has proven them all wrong so far.
UNO is off to an 8-3-1 start, ranked No. 13, and on a six-game win streak. All three of UNO's losses were by just one goal. They have outscored their opponents 45-25 in 11 games and have yet to allow more than three goals in any game.
The Mavericks have yet to lose a Friday game and their senior goaltender John Faulkner is 7-0-1 on the year. Their six-game win streak is the longest winning streak since the 2001-2002 season, where the Mavericks won eight in a row.
Their streak includes sweeps over conference foes Michigan Tech, Minnesota-Duluth and a non-conference home sweep over Alabama-Huntsville. The Mavericks currently sit in fourth in the WCHA, just one point short of a tie for second.
Although Faulkner has been the anchor in net for UNO, Freshman goalie Anthony Stolarz owns the team's only shutout. Stolarz backstopped UNO's most recent win, an 8-0 win over UAH. The 8-0 win was UNO's biggest win since Oct. 20, 2006, a 10-1 win over Niagara.
However this weekend will be the toughest this season for the Mavericks. They will travel to Minneapolis to face the No.3 ranked Minnesota Gophers. Minny is 9-2-2 on the year and is tied for second in the WCHA. UNO has only played Minnesota five times, and the silver lining is that the visiting team has won each game, including the sweep UNO got in their WCHA opener in Oct. 2010.
These three schools are representing Nebraska athletics very well right now and the next few weeks it will be really interesting to see if the teams keep climbing or history is merely now. Either way, a proud time to be loving sports in the heartland.

The Internet's Finest Tropical Fruit Discussion Forum!"All discussion content within the forum reflects the views of individual participants only and do not necessarily represent the views held by the Tropical Fruit Forum as an organization."
Both replies are correct - to be legal, you must have a USDA permit, and a copy of the permit must be enclosed in the package, along with a list of the seeds and where they were collected. Additionally, there is a little green and yellow sticker that goes on the front of the package, and that sends the package to the USDA. Then they forward it on to you after they make sure there are no "nasty beasties" inside. The permit is free. When I order seeds, I email a copy of my permit, seed list for them to fill out, and a color copy of the green package label, and ask the seller to fill out the list (sometimes I do it ahead of time, to make sure botanical names are correct and readable, since that can hold up a delivery) enclose the list and permit in the package, and print a COLOR copy of the label and attach it to the package. The only thing that ever goes wrong is that they don't have access to a color printer... On the other hand, it is pretty common to just order seeds and have them shipped over. I would guess the odds of the package not getting seized is maybe 50-50, or maybe even better. So I guess it depends on how much the seeds cost and how big the fine is, if there is one, as to whether you want to risk it.Carolyn
