Jigsaw: A Bland, Unimaginative, and Shoddily Written Mess That Offers Nothing New
Rami has a BA in psychology from the American University of Beirut and an MS in addiction counseling from Grand Canyon University.
Prior to my venture into quality cinema, my passion for films was actually catalyzed by horror. And by horror I don't mean iconic gems such as The Exorcist, Psycho, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; I actually speak of a perplexing former obsession with two franchises: "Saw" and "Final Destination". A comprehensive knowledge of the former's lore and characters still finds itself engraved into my gray matter's confines even years following the culmination of my Saw addiction, so it only makes me human to be curious as to what the franchise had to offer seven years following the subpar and supposed "final chapter" into the saga.
As per usual we start off with an ill-fated ensemble of morally dubious individuals who are kidnapped and forced to participate in a gruesome torture-based game for their survival. As the body count ascends, Detectives Halloran (Callum Rennie) and Hunt (Cle Bennett) seek the assistance of forensic medical examiners Eleanor (Hannah Anderson) and Logan (Matt Passmore). Pretty soon these characters become suspicious of each other as audiences roll their eyes and prepare to guess which one of them could be a possible secret apprentice to the serial killer Jigsaw, who has been dead since the 3rd entry into the franchise.
I have to say I am disappointed. With a seven-year hiatus and over a hundred scripts to choose from, the least we can expect as level-headed filmgoers is an array of new ideas. Jigsaw is a serial killer but proclaims himself an ethicist as he subjects people who he deems unknowing of life's true worth to twisted torture games. The inaugural Saw film along with its first sequel did manage to delve into the premise's notions of moral hypocrisy. But the problem with the rest of the franchise, with perhaps the exception of the sixth entry, is that it never nurtured any of its multiple abstractions beyond a superficial level. Regardless of lore expansion with apprentices coming and going out of the picture, "Jigsaw" goes down the same path in a vigorously unpleasant manner. The idea that survivors of twisted torture games could be stricken with Stockholm Syndrome and subsequently live by the killer's shortsighted, hypocritical ideology is actually a goldmine, but it's frustratingly reduced to exposition for the sake of a twist in a pathetic attempt to compensate for shoddy storytelling. This film hints at Jigsaw's nationwide influence, another interesting idea ridden with opportunity, gone to waste. The only thing to show for it is one of the characters making identical replicas of his traps and a hasty reference to some twisted website for people fascinated with the nature of his exploits.
Seeing as how the "Saw" franchise is anything but cinematic gold, it shouldn't be all that surprising that this entry would follow the established formula; cutting back and forth between police investigations and the victims of a game, followed by a twist somewhere in the third act, which admittedly caught me off guard. I never had much of an issue with the formula during the old days of my "Saw" addiction as the entertainment value was high and is still somewhat resonant to this day but at a lower frequency. So the issue with this film from an entertainment standpoint isn't entirely related to my current loftier standards for cinema, it's just that "Jigsaw" is simply uninteresting. The traps are comparatively tame and lacking in creativity, the game isn't all that engrossing, and the characters are entirely devoid of personality or intrigue; their emptiness further accentuated by the generally hollow performances of the unknown cast. Moreover, the lack of a horrifying atmosphere was apparent. The games of the franchise are noted for taking place in grimy dilapidated areas, a fitting setting for troupes of unlucky characters to be put into gory struggles for their survival. Though "Jigsaw" is filmed more proficiently than its predecessors, the entire look is neutered, sterile, clean, and artificial. As a consequence, the film is unable to provide a more visceral experience as it fails to transport the viewers into the frightened perspective of the characters.
"Jigsaw" has nothing new to bring to the table, which is a crying shame given that seven whole years have elapsed as opposed to one, which means that the amount of time for innovation and going the distance is practically obscene. It could've been as formulaic as it is and still manage to at least hold my attention had it not been for the aforementioned deficiencies in mere entertainment value. But what frustrates me more than anything is this film's intent to be nothing more than another installment into the franchise. I'd say "Jigsaw" is as subpar a film, if not worse, than the universally reviled "Saw 7"; I wouldn't even recommend it to diehard loyalists of the franchise.
My score: 3/10

April 2018
Poynton high School - Year 10 Parent and Carer Bulletin
Dear Parents and Carers of Year 10 students,
With almost a full academic year working on the GCSE and BTEC courses our Year 10 students will be working in lessons to ensure that they can respond effectively to questions in the written papers which will test their knowledge and understanding of each subject. We have our mock exams starting on Tuesday 24th April.
You can find our full Year 10 mock exam timetable here: https://www.phs.cheshire.sch.uk/attachments/download.asp?file=793&type=pdf
In our last assembly before the exams we will be talking about the importance of being fully prepared for the papers. All students must make sure that they have a full set of equipment needed for the exams.
We have also recently looked as a year group at the revision process. They should be fully aware that effective revision always involves working with the content they are revision, simply reading notes is not effective, even if they have convinced themselves of this!
We have looked at revision as a 3-part process, you can see this here:
The German exam will test Writing and Reading. The topics will be the first three units of the course: school, free time and family.
For Foundation students, there will be a picture to describe in four sentences, a 40-word written task and a choice of two 90 word tasks. There will also be 5 sentences to translate into German. There will then be reading passages with comprehension questions.
For Higher students, there will be a choice of two 90-word writing questions, a choice of two 150 word questions and a short paragraph to translate into German. There will then be reading passages with comprehension questions.
For all students, there will be a Speaking test after your exams are finished. Your teacher will talk to you about this in advance of the test.
You should use your exercise book and vocabulary booklet for revision.
Product Design
The students have been covering a range of topics including Timber, in their theory lessons. Students will need to revise this for their exam plus use their revision guides to have a wider understanding of Product Design.
If any student would like a revision guide and question booklet, these can still be ordered through us at a reduced cost of £5.10 for both books.
We would like to remind you of the Upcycling competition, which was launched when Jon Hutchinson from ProjectUp visited our year 10 lesson. The deadline for all products is not until the start of May but there are a few things to do before this time. If your child is entering this competition, please ask them to see me for the consent letters etc.
Also the finals will be at Congleton Town Hall on 16th May 5pm
– 6.30pm. All are welcome. If you would like to attend, then please let me know as Jon requires final numbers for the night.
Religious Studies
Before the Easter holidays all students will have had a revision lesson with their teachers and know fully what to revise. They will be given an A3 revision sheet with a breakdown of topics to revise and exam questions tips. The topics covered so far are:
Christianity - Worship and festivals (in Year 9), Key beliefs, Christ and salvation (Year 10 autumn) and Role of the church in the local and wider community (Yr10 autumn)
Themes - Crime and punishment (Yr10 autumn) and Relationships and families (Yr10 spring)
The Year 10 exam is 1 hour and 45 mins in length. Students will complete 4 whole questions which are sub-divided into 1, 2, 4, 5 and 12 mark questions.
Students will need to make sure they revise everything in their yellow and purple exercise books.
Please see separate letter attached detailing our launch of the PiXL maths app.
Year 10 will be having a mini mock unseen assessment on Macbeth in their usual English lessons towards the end of next half term. (They won't have another mock for English Language).
They should make sure they have completed their GAPP packs well in advance of this to help their understanding of the text. Also, they should ensure they are up to date with the reading of Macbeth and they could watch Macbeth revision videos on you tube (Mr Bruff or Stacey Reay).
The Year 10 mock exams start the week beginning 30th April. The Science mock exams will assess all GCSE topics taught in Biology, Chemistry and Physics from all of Year 10 and the GCSE topics covered at the end of Year 9.
· Triple Science students: will sit 3 papers (Biology, Chemistry and Physics). Each paper is 1 hour 45 minutes in length
· Double (Combined) Science students: will sit 3 papers (Biology, Chemistry and Physics). Each paper is 1 hour 15 minutes in length.
Below is the overview of which topics will be assessed in each paper:
Exam paper Topics
Biology Paper Biology topics 1 – 4: Cell Biology; Organisation; Infection and response; and Bioenergetics.
Paper Chemistry topics 1 – 5: Atomic structure and the periodic table; Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter; Quantitative chemistry; Chemical changes; and Energy changes.
Physics Paper Physics topics 1 – 4: Energy; Electricity; Particle model of matter; and Atomic structure.
Revision material to support students preparing for examinations:
· Mock revision: students will be given revision material to complete to help prepare for the mock exams.

Top 10 Triggers for Asthma in the Summer
While most people think of spring as the worst time of year for seasonal allergies, several late-blooming plants produce pollen in the summer. Grass typically pollinates in the late spring and early summer, while ragweed and other weeds pollinate in the late summer and into fall. All of these pollens can trigger your asthma as well. Keep up with your asthma medications, take a daily antihistamine if your allergies are bothering you and avoid being outdoors on high pollen days.
The combination of warm weather and summer thunderstorms can increase outdoor mold growth. Be sure to drain standing water in your yard to help keep mold levels in check. If mold is a trigger for your asthma, stay in air-conditioned buildings whenever possible on days when mold levels are especially high.
Stinging bugs
Some people who have seasonal allergies are also allergic to stings from bees, wasps, or other insects. Bee stings can cause a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis which can be particularly severe in people who also have asthma. If you are allergic to stings or have had an anaphylactic reaction before, talk with your doctor about getting tested for bee sting allergy and carrying injectable epinephrine (adrenaline) like an EpiPen. People with venom allergies can be treated with special allergy shots for their allergy. This should only be done by a board-certified allergist.
Bonfire, barbecue or campfire smoke
Smoke is frequently a main trigger for people with asthma. But you have more to worry about than just cigarette smoke. Bonfires, barbecues, and campfires can all trigger asthma attacks. Try to avoid smoke whenever possible and always carry your rescue inhaler just in case.
Chlorinated swimming pools
Chlorine can be a trigger for people who are sensitive to chemicals in the environment. It can help to avoid indoor pools, which trap chlorine fumes. If you still find you are having problems, seek out pools that use saltwater or non-chlorine methods for keeping the water clean. Keeping your asthma under control can help make chlorine less of a trigger for asthma.
Seasonal fruits and vegetables
Summer can be a spectacular time for seasonal produce. But be careful if you are really sensitive to pollen, because those fruits and vegetables can be full of it. Wash produce thoroughly to remove as much pollen as possible and speak with your physician if what you eat exacerbates your asthma or if you experience any itching in your mouth with fresh fruits or vegetables. This can be a symptom of oral allergy symptoms.
Weather shifts
Weather variations from one season to the next can trigger asthma in individuals who are sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. Keep up with your daily controller medications and always carry your rescue medication if you are affected by weather shifts.
Clinicians have seen an uptick in acute asthma attacks due to thunderstorms. Summer storms cause airflow patterns that concentrate pollen and mold spores. These spores are combined with the high humidity in clouds and released as airborne particles when it rains. Keep your eye on the weather and always have a rescue inhaler on hand. Keep your air conditioning on and the windows closed even when the weather cools off before a thunderstorm.
Air pollution
Air pollution can be worse in the summer months as heat and sunlight react with the chemical pollutants in the air. Check daily air-quality levels before planning anything outdoors, especially if you live in a high-pollution area like Los Angeles or Chicago.
Disruption of daily routines
Summer can mean sleeping in, staying out late, and traveling—all of which can make it hard to stay on top of things like taking controller medications on time and monitoring peak flow. Making the extra effort to keep your asthma in check can prevent a nasty flare-up that could really be a bummer for summer!

"The Red Convertible" by Louise Erdrich is a traumatic short story about the relationship between two American Indian brothers, Henry and Lyman Lamartine. Henry is the older brother to Lyman. They've spent their whole lives living on an Indian reservation, up until they purchase a red Olds Convertible. The convertible throughout the story becomes a sustained metaphor for Henry and Lyman's relationship, resembling luxury and freedom pertaining to the American dream, as well as blood and suffering due to the catatonic distress Henry feels. Henry has been off the reservation only three times since they purchased the red Olds, twice with Lyman and once to join the Vietnam War. All three journeys are different, yet tie together the memories Lyman wants to reserve of his deceased brother.
The first time Henry and Lyman leave the reservation they take the red convertible for a joy ride around the western hemisphere of the United States for an entire summer. Since the car is a convertible, it has a top, or roof, that lowers down and can be raised up depending on preferences and weather. It was a hot summer for the brothers that they "made most of the trip, that summer, without putting up the car hood at all" (106). The symbolism of the convertibles' top represents the luxury, lavishness, and comfort the car bestows for Henry and Lyman. The top also denotes freedom. Freedom can be noted as the wind they feel on their skin when they're driving or that they have never ending space above them, since the top was down, leaving them unrestricted. This first journey for Henry left Lyman with happy memories of his brother.
The next journey Henry has off the reservation is when he leaves to join the Vietnam War. During his time gone, Lyman fixes up the red convertible since their trip around the western United States damaged the car. Lyman continues to feel pride and indulgence from the car and how it bonded him and Henry together. However, Henry has been gone for three years, and when he returns, nothing is the same with Henry or the brothers' relationship. The Vietnam War had ended, "but for Henry it would keep on going" (107). Unfortunately, Henry now endures Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This is when the car transforms to a symbol of suffering, because not only does Henry not even notice the car, but Lyman purposely ruins it after refurbishing the interior and exterior from their trip. Furthermore, Lyman's dismantling of the car represents Henry's character not being his normal self due from PTSD. He is the red convertible and the red convertible is Henry. They're one, both suffering from their experiences, though Henry is human and the convertible is an object. Lyman witnesses the change in his brother, altering his memories of Henry for the worse.
Finally, the last adventure Henry takes is with Lyman to the Red River in their convertible. Here, the word "red" not only describes the convertible, but can be interpreted to define the instance in which Henry commits suicide in the Red River. Henry appears to walk down to the river to take a swim to cool off from the heat, but Lyman notices that he's not swimming but the current is taking him. Henry yells to Lyman, "My boots are filling," which leads us to believe that Henry is dead (114). Moreover, the adjective "red" further suggests that the Red River is death for Henry but in a bloodless way. Lyman knows that Henry will never be his normal self pre-war, so he drives the red Olds down to the river and "watches it plow softly into the water…the sound of it going and running and going and running and running" (114). Lyman's actions also make the red convertible a symbol of death in a bloodless way. The convertible can be recognized as Henry's grave or coffin from the failure of the American dream. Also, the final quote in the story relates back to the opening paragraph when Henry and Lyman are first introduced. Lyman explains that he "walks everywhere he goes" (103). This infers now that Henry's dead and the car is gone, Lyman walks not because he doesn't have a car, but because luxury isn't going to buy one's happiness, especially now that Henry has died. Lyman will never have the American dream without his brother, so why have the car at all? Additionally, the final quote also relates to the Vietnam War never ending for Henry. The war was disturbing for Henry and he would always carry that weight around with him, making the war a never ending battle in his mind and would keep "going" like the red convertible keeps "going" when Lyman watches it sink in the water. Both the car and Henry will never be well. Also, even though Henry had the "American dream" by owning a red Olds, the true American dream would never be achieved due to his PTSD.
In conclusion, "The Red Convertible" is a sustained metaphor for Henry and Lyman's brotherhood and the American dream in which they cannot achieve. Lyman simply retells the memories of his brother, Henry, when times were happy and when times were not due to Henry's change in character after the war. Lyman questions the aspects and beliefs of what is the American dream. Is the American dream a luxury vehicle with the top down driving across country? Or is the American dream healthy and happy families that share jovial memories? At first, the American dream for Lyman was a luxury convertible that could give him and Henry joy to share, but after realizing the effects of the war on Henry, the red convertible becomes less important, which is why he let the car sink with Henry's suicide.

Earlier this week Republican leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives revealed their plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act , commonly known as "Obamacare." Under this Republican plan, new limits would be placed on federal Medicaid spending. Rather than provide matching grants to states to cover anyone who meets eligibility requirements, the federal government would impose what's known as a per capita cap, providing a fixed amount of money for each beneficiary based on spending in 2016. According to disabilities advocates, this Republican proposal would "fundamentally alter Medicaid, threatening access to community-based services for people with developmental disabilities."
According to Curt Decker, executive director of the National Disability Rights Network, "The legislation revealed by House Republicans … is a giant step backwards in the treatment and care of individuals with disabilities. It caps Medicaid funding which means a sharp reduction in services and availability of this important health care lifeline for children and adults with disabilities. In short, this plan is terrible."
Nicole Jorwic, director of rights policy at The Arc, expressed similar concerns. "Let there be no doubt about it — caps mean cuts. This will lead to cuts in services and longer waiting lists. Every service will be at stake if this bill passes. States will have to make decisions about access and what services are provided based on their bottom lines, not what they need to do to meet the needs of their residents."
While it is still uncertain exactly how much money the federal government would provide states for Medicaid under the new plan, an estimate from the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities suggests that a per capita cap would mean $116 billion less in federal funding for Medicaid over 10 years, with states left to make up the difference.
Under the republican proposal people with developmental disabilities could lose home and community-based services and coverage of mental health, personal care, rehabilitative services, prescription drugs, respite care and other benefits could be reduced or eliminated. In addition, the proposed legislation also calls for an end to Medicaid expansion, which advocates say has helped people with disabilities, their families and direct support providers access health care.
Disability advocacy groups are "rallying their troops" to oppose the measure by encouraging families to talk to their state and federal lawmakers about how Medicaid affects people with developmental disabilities on a personal level. Nearly 1,000 people from across the country participated in an emergency call this week to discuss next steps.

Mommy and Baby Craniosacral
For Moms
My Approach

Breastfeeding isn't supposed to hurt
If it does hurt or you are having breastfeeding problems you are not alone.
Here is what you are aiming for:
a light wavelike pull
a peaceful and relaxing experience
a gentle pulling or tugging feeling at your breast
Here's what moms say in their own words about what breastfeeding feels like (and what it felt like before they had help).
"Instead of insane chomping pressure it's a light wave like pull"
"It feels like a soft caress." (The first time she latched it felt like a thousand tiny baby sharks at the same time.)
"Breastfeeding now feels like little butterfly flutters." (It used to feel like a cheese grater on my nipples).
"It feels like gentle tugging, makes me relaxed and sleepy and gives me an overwhelming feeling of being so in love." (I used to feel sharp pokes like needles and burning pain.)
"Now it feels sooooo different, like my nipples are being massaged with tiny satin pillows." (Before I would hold my breath because I didn't want to scream.)
"I can feel my body releasing all the feel good hormones while she's nursing now. Breastfeeding became more of a tugging feeling on my nipples, but really difficult to even feel if that makes sense. And let-downs became a nice tingling sensation in my breasts"
"Once we got CST (Craniosacral Therapy) it felt like a gentle tug if anything. I stopped dreading breastfeeding and it became as natural as breathing." (Before it felt like my son's entire mouth was made of razor blades.)
Motherhood is not a test of mettle
If you are having breastfeeding problems it can be a sign that your baby's body needs professional and skilled help.
You don't need to endure pain, grit your teeth and suffer in silence and tough it out. You don't need to toughen up (nipples don't grow callouses). You don't need to try harder. You don't need to fix your body. Your body hasn't failed you. You haven't failed your baby. It doesn't mean that you are a bad mom.
It's not that you aren't good enough or lucky enough to have an easy baby.
This is your body's way of telling you that something isn't right. Trust your instincts. Ask for help. Keep asking until you get the right help for you. You aren't meant to do this all on your own. Breastfeeding is complex and subtly. There are a million tips and tricks that can help, most of them involve minor adjustments that make major improvements. It may even be confusing. What worked for one mama and baby may not mean it works for you. Remember that you and your baby are a unique pair. Keep going and get the help you and your baby needs.
Early support is key. Before 6 months old is best.
The earlier we help you and your baby the better. It sets your baby up for the best brain and body growth and development. It helps you both bond more deeply. It helps you feel more confident as a mother and have a better experience of being a mother. It helps your relationship with your partner, husband or kids. You will feel less stressed out.
The ability to nurse is a fundamental first skill. Other complex skills, like eating, build on it. If we don't address the underlying cause of unsolved breastfeeding problems they later turn into feeding problems (like choking and picky eating).
Your baby's tongue movement is important because
it helps manage incoming food and liquids safely and protects their airway so they don't choke.
it is needed to help hold up and their head; the tongue is a muscle of posture (like your back muscles).
proper tongue movement is needed to properly grow your baby's face (jaw and middle of face in particular). The proper growth of your baby's mid face (in the area of the nose) is important because this is where your baby will breathe from the majority of the their life.
Before 6 months is ideal because that is when your baby still has primitive reflexes which are automatic behaviours that help set your baby up in the right direction. During this early time we can set off these automatic movements that will help develop your baby's muscles in a balanced way (not too tight or too weak).
If your baby is older than 6 months it's not too late. It's still worth getting help. We just have to change the strategy as babies get older.
Your baby has their whole life ahead of them. We want to help them feel good in their bodies. We want your baby to have equal opportunity to move freely in all directions.

Boundary news
Russia and Estonia sign border treaty after 20 year dispute
(19 February 2014)
Russia and Estonia have signed a treaty setting out the position of their joint border, settling both land and maritime boundaries. The border agreement comes 20 years after Estonia gained independence from the Soviet Union, being the last nation state to formalize its border with Russia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov joined Urmas Paet, Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs, in Moscow to complete the agreement. The treaty is yet to be officially ratified by the governments of both states.
Foreign Minister Lavrov commented, "I am sure this will strengthen the atmosphere of trust and cooperation". He further stated the treaty is an "important step, rather than a pure formality". Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip, celebrated the news as a "strategic and far-reaching decision", while Estonia's Foreign Minister Paet commented, "I don't think that between neighbours we should have such long pauses because we must talk about difficult issues".
It is reported that approximately 15% of Estonia's trade is with Russia, and the two countries also exchange large numbers of tourists. Professor Andres Kasekamp at the University of Tartu, Estonia, stated, "The good news in Russia-Estonian relations over the past few years is the growing economic activity between the two". US State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki commented, "We view the agreement as a positive development and sign of a productive relationship between the two countries. We look forward to the treaty's ratification and implementation".
Estonia was occupied by Soviet Forces in 1940-1941, and again from 1944 to its independence in 1991. Both nations signed a border treaty in 2005 but its implementation was subsequently frozen due to disagreements over ratification documentations between the two parliaments.

The statutory rate was reset by the current Lord Chancellor David Gauke and forms part of the Criminal Damages Act 1996 and forms the basis for calculating personal injury claims.
In serious injury cases, claimants will usually receive their compensation as a lump sum and invest it. As such they can expect to receive a rate of return over the remainder of their lives. This is where the Ogden Discount Rate comes in.
Insurance companies are one of the organisations who are affected most significantly by changes to the rate, that said, they are not the only ones.
Whichever way we look at it, this rate is established to protect those who have been the victim of a serious injury – and let's face it, that could be any one of us.
Making sure seriously injured parties receive the correct funding to allow them to look after themselves is a fundamental aim of the award and should be acknowledged as such.
The insurers role is to make decisions on premium setting based on levels of perceived risk and the entire industry is predicated on chance.
The change to the Ogden Discount Rate has meant that the odds are now stacked a little in the insurers favour (as payments should be slightly lower), however, many had predicted (and set their book rates) on a more positive move.
The impact is that we are preparing for premium increases, intensified by recent news of two insurers entering into administration and two others withdrawing from the market.
Insurance is a something we buy but hope we will never need – we all want value for money but it is important that the decisions we all make (choosing insurers and cover) are sensible in the context of a changing legal environment.

BROWNSVILLE — Officials are still assessing the damage after a tropical system dumped a year's worth of rain on the Rio Grande Valley in a two-day period last week.
They are preparing to combat an expected explosion of disease-carrying mosquitoes.
Cameron County Emergency Management Coordinator Tom Hushen said yesterday morning that areas of the county were still under water.
He said the county was conducting pumping operations in areas near Los Fresnos and Santa Rosa.
"We know we have at least 100 homes destroyed," Hushen said, explaining that these homes had water that was more than four feet deep inside of them.
"And we're probably going to have 400 to 500 that are damaged."
However, the full cost of the flash floods hasn't been determined. Hushen said the State of Texas and the Red Cross have sent damage assessment teams into Cameron County.
And flood water still remains a challenge for county officials, who, on Monday, were still unable to reach some places.
"It's going to take a little time because there are some areas that we can't get in because the water is too high," Hushen said.
During the height of the flooding, which occurred on Wednesday and Thursday, Hushen said emergency responders conducted approximately 100 rescues.
By last Thursday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared a state of disaster for six South Texas counties, including Cameron.
The National Weather Service estimated the Rio Grande Valley experienced $100 million in damage from last week's flooding, The Monitor reported.
U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, a Democrat whose district includes McAllen, sent a letter last Friday to President Donald Trump and the Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator William B. Long asking for financial support to residents in the Rio Grande Valley and the Coastal Bend region by declaring a federal disaster area.
"This deluge has affected the Rio Grande Valley, located in South Texas, and spans several Congressional Districts. Water levels have been recorded as high as seven feet in some areas," Gonzalez wrote in the letters. "This weather event caused serious devastation, including damages to public property, homes, businesses, roads, streets and loss of property. The level of property damage, and danger to life and limb warranted a declaration of disaster from Texas Governor Greg Abbott."
As of yesterday afternoon, FEMA had not announced whether it would designate the region as a federal disaster zone.
During the weekend, Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño Jr. said in a press release that Cameron County Emergency Management has been receiving phone calls asking about the cleaning process and when it should begin, as well as how to initiate efforts to receive federal assistance if a federal disaster is declared.
Treviño advised residents to take pictures of any and all damage to residences, inside and out, including any structures that are on the property. He told residents they should document all the dates and times of photographs and to not start cleaning up until all the photos and documentation are in place. Treviño also recommends saving copies of receipts for expenses relating to the clean-up effort.
"My prayers are with all of the families that have suffered any damage from these torrential rains," Treviño said. "We are doing everything in our power to help eliminate the water that is still standing. We are coordinating efforts to help our county receive assistance for those residents that have suffered loss. We ask for your patience, and may God bless our people of the Rio Grande Valley and Cameron County."
County officials, as well as the City of Brownsville, are also beginning to ramp up mosquito reduction efforts.
Last week, Hushen said his office was meeting with city officials throughout Cameron County to discuss efforts and mosquito reduction along with plans for spraying.
The City of Brownsville initiated larvicide distribution aimed at reducing mosquito development on Friday and Saturday while crews with the Public Health & Wellness Department's Vector Control Division has been conducting mosquito surveillance efforts to guard against Zika, Dengue, West Nile and other diseases spread by mosquitoes.
"We encourage residents to take precautionary measures by removing standing water where mosquitoes could lay eggs, cutting tall grass and communicating their concerns via our helpline 546-HELP," Brownsville Mayor Tony Martinez said in a press release.
Weather permitting, the city will be spraying for mosquitoes from dusk through the late night each day this week.

"Sherlock Holmes" sequel adds Gallic actor to ensemble
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: The "Sherlock Holmes" sequel just received a little jolt of international flair.
Gallic actor Gilles Lellouche, who savvy filmgoers will recognize from his work in Guillaume Canet's "Little White Lies," confirmed this morning from Paris that he will join Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" starlet Noomi Rapace in the movie, which is filming right now.
"I'm thrilled, and I'll play a nice bad guy," Lellouche said.
The same report also mentions that original "Holmes" love interest Rachel McAdams will return, though that's only rumored right now. What has been confirmed, however, is that Jared Harris has nabbed the coveted, villainous role of Sherlock Holmes' nemesis, Professor Moriarty.
Ritchie's untitled "Sherlock Holmes" sequel will be in theaters in 2011.

Season 4, Episode 12: 'A Roy Rogers in Franconia'
We have not always been kind in this space to Paige Jennings, or to Holly Taylor, the 18-year-old Canadian actress who plays her. When "The Americans" was balancing its Paige story line (teenager finds out her parents are Soviet spies) with its Martha story line (woman finds out her husband is a Soviet spy), we were solidly on Team Martha — her plot won on dramatic and emotional grounds and Alison Wright acted up a storm as the lonely secretary willing to commit treason for love. (Even if her lover was actually Paige's bigamous father.)
But Wednesday night's episode, "A Roy Rogers in Franconia" (written by the showrunners, Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields), forced a reconsideration. Not a total one — we still miss the exiled Martha desperately. But Mr. Weisberg and Mr. Fields, through sheer persistence and a radical but deftly handled twist at the end of last week's episode, have managed to make Paige's between-two-worlds predicament interesting. We finally care about what happens to her, and what's in her head, rather than just seeing her as a hyperventilating nuisance who's putting her parents in danger. And while Ms. Taylor's range remains narrow, it feels as if the character's evolution toward a kind of resigned fatalism, or exasperation, has been cleverly tailored.
The episode started in the aftermath of last week's random violence, when Elizabeth stuck a knife in the neck of a would-be mugger in front of Paige. At home — where Philip and Henry were happily playing a game of Stargate on the ubiquitous family computer — Paige demanded answers. Was the man dead? Did her mom have to do that? How did she know how to do it? And, most tellingly, had she done it before? Paige's parents have denied hurting people — which we know is ludicrous — and now Elizabeth had to roll back one more lie, perhaps the biggest one of all. She admitted that she had killed before, but added, "To protect myself, yeah," which seemed arguable. (Though it's always for the protection of Mother Russia.)
The next morning Paige was still digesting what she'd seen, and getting a new sense of how dangerous her parents' work must be, if they were trained to do what her mother had done. She was no longer talking about calling the police; she was just trying to adjust her picture of her mother and father to all this new information, and insisting on getting even more.
Elizabeth, as part of her season-long softening, told Paige about growing up in a Smolensk that had been destroyed in World War II, and the way people worked together to overcome hardship and rebuild. "I guess I always wanted to be like that no matter what," she said. "To fight back. Dangerous didn't matter." At this point, even Paige has to admit that she's got the world's coolest mom, despite the whole Soviet-spy thing.
Later Paige's ineradicable Americanness was pointed out, when she had to explain the appeal of a soap opera ("General Hospital") to a puzzled Elizabeth. Matthew and Henry arrived and soon the teenagers were connecting the computer — that great big shoe waiting to drop in next week's season finale — to the Jenningses television set. Nothing could go wrong there! Or maybe nothing will. Maybe it'll just be more video games as a counterpoint to the deadly games the parents (including Stan) are playing out in the world.
As the episode ended, we were reminded that Paige isn't just in an awkward situation with her parents, she's at an awkward age, too. Matthew finally got up the nerve to kiss her, in a brief kitchen island encounter that ended with an "O.K." and an "I should get home."
It's hormones, certainly, but now we can't help wondering whether Paige, consciously or not, is also emulating her mom and getting closer to a source, in her own innocent way. She was able to report to her parents that Stan hadn't been home in two days (we'll get to that in a minute), a bit of spy work that spiraled into yet another argument, another demand for facts — "You just killed a man in front of me. I might as well know everything" — and the episode's killer closing line. After Philip and Elizabeth made the momentous decision to tell Paige a fairly reasonable facsimile of the truth — he was going to meet a man to pick up a weapon (leaving out the detail that it's the Lassa fever virus) — Paige put on her most disgusted expression and snorted, "Great."
We, like the episode, have buried or at least played down the lede, which is that while the Jenningses were sorting out their family business, Stan, Dennis and assorted munchkins at the F.B.I. were suddenly getting much closer to catching them. Dennis's discovery of the death at the mail-robot repair facility led to the discovery of the still active bug in the mail robot itself. At least Agent Gaad wasn't around to suffer that final indignity!
At about the same time, Oleg, disillusioned by his country's scientific backwardness and clued in to the bioweapons operation by his rezidentura squeeze, Tatiana (who wants him to come along to her new posting in Africa), paid Stan a visit. He gave the F.B.I. man just enough information to lead him — well, actually Dennis, who does all the work — to William's fake identity. As the episode ended, Philip was on his way to meet William to pick up the Lassa sample, so we can look forward to an F.B.I.-K.G.B. convergence in next week's finale.
But there was a third thread of the episode: As Paige grew more interested in her parents' world, her parents and their compatriots continued to grow more disenchanted. We've already covered Oleg. William did not want to deliver the deadly Lassa and had to be talked into it by the golden-tongued Gabriel. (On the other side of the fence, Gabriel, at Philip's insistence, used his rich baritone to anonymously assure Martha's mother that her daughter was safe.) But Gabriel and Philip weren't that enthusiastic either. Philip agreed with William, and even Gabriel said, "I'm not sure who is right about this one."
Episode title note: The woman whom the F.B.I. caught swapping out the tape in the mail robot had been unknowingly recruited for the K.G.B. by a man she met at a Roy Rogers in Franconia. Gabriel, presumably, pretending to be a wiseguy who had problems with the F.B.I.
Let us know what you thought about this week's episode in the comments. Do we think Elizabeth's hasty, messy killing of a man on the Washington streets will come back to haunt her, or will it be one of those things that just drifts away?

Iowa Hoops Will Be Better (Part IV – Anthony Tucker)
To say that Anthony Tucker has something to prove this year would be a gross understatement.
Last year, what started out as a promising freshman campaign, ended almost as soon as it began. The former Twin Cities Metro Player of the Year went from regularly putting on three point clinics to being barred from playing games due to academics.
Before his health issues and that run-in with the back alley of a bar, Anthony was averaging 13 points per game, shooting 43.8% from 3 point range, and collecting 3.5 boards per game all while putting in just over 25 minutes a ballgame. Losing Tucker meant the Hawkeyes lost roughly 250 points, 65 treys, and 60 boards on the season. And while, technically, non-conference statistics don't hold up when you apply them to the Big Ten season, it's obvious Iowa was hurting without Tucker on the court. When a team loses a starter, it's a blow; when that player is the team's leading scorer, it can be a knock out punch.
The time away not only allowed Tucker to work on his individual game, but he was able to put more time in the weight room, as well. Hawkeye fans will see a confident, more refined #1 on the court come later this year. If fans thought Anthony was lights out from downtown before, they haven't seen anything yet.

Additionally, Tucker has been working out the PG spot, and to some that might sound like a new thing for him. However, that couldn't be farther from the truth. Anthony is used to having the ball in his hands and being in control of the game. His last year on the AAU circuit he showcased his skills at the PG spot, and while playing ball for Minnetonka he pretty much ran the team.
Tucker undeniably has one of the most effortless, textbook jump shots in all of college basketball. Yet because of this, some like to peg him as just a spot-up shooter. And although he admittedly needs to work on his quickness on the defensive end, Tuck really has developed a terrific all-around game. He can get into the lane if needed and makes the smart pass more times than not.
Continue reading below
Because of last year, Anthony has grown up on so many different levels. One might even go as far as to say it was a blessing in disguise. People make mistakes; the good ones not only learn from them, they get better because of them. I'm convinced Tucker will be better because of what he went through last season. He has the potential to be a first team All-Big Ten player by the end of his career and Hawkeye fans can expect this upcoming season to be a step in that direction.
Continue reading below
Anthony Tucker is yet another reason Iowa Basketball will be better than you think.

China is the travel market of the future. It is probable that by 2020 the Far East will account for the majority of travellers visiting Europe. Speaking at ITB Berlin, Eduardo Santander, executive director of the European Travel Commission, said: "In China, Europe is targeted as a single destination." Thus, it was all the more important that European tourism professionals learned to network better. "Neither the US or Australia is the biggest competitor of the EU, but we ourselves", said Santander. "Europe must learn to see itself as a single travel destination."
This new way of looking at Europe was a side aspect to the preview of the sister event of ITB Berlin, which will be taking place from 16 to 18 May 2018 in Shanghai. In this second year of its existence it will be partner of the EU China Tourism Year, which has been jointly announced by the Chinese government and the EU Commission.
David Axiotis, the project manager of ITB China, provided a foretaste of what ITB China 2018 had to offer. The trade show is an exclusive B2B event and will host more than 700 exhibitors from over 70 countries. Some 2,700 attendees are expected at the conference. Over one-third of the exhibitors will be from Europe, and another third from Asia. The Americas and the Arabian peninsula will also be strongly represented.
This year's partner country is Finland. Axiotis praised Helsinki as a hub for tourism to Europe, and Heli Mende of Visit Finland presented her country as a fascinating destination offering a unique combination of nature and cultural attractions.

Ben Frederickson Live
Bring your Cardinals, Blues, Mizzou, SLU and St. Louis sports questions, and talk to Post-Dispatch columnist Ben Frederickson in a live chat starting at 11 a.m. Tuesday.
I have wondered if finding a way to make a jarring trade would shock the Blues into playing better more than a coaching change.But, that's easier said than done.No-trade clauses exist.The team is up against the cap.The coach is the easiest answer.Doesn't mean it's the right answer.
We know that the two most important elements of a pitch to a free agent superstar are 1) MONEY and 2) WINNING. In the past few years, the Cardinals pitch has been lacking in that second department (read: Stanton, Giancarlo). In that light, do you think it would strengthen the Cardinals pitch to someone like Harper to make an early strike at a secondary level star, like Yusei Kikuchi from Japan, or an ace relief arm, or even Josh Donaldson? With 70 million between their current estimated payroll and the luxury tax, this is fiscally possible, and it would show someone like Harper that the Cardinals are on the warpath. Or is that not really a thing?
I do think moves made before the big move can help make the big move happen.The Blues saw some of that this offseason.Teams might prefer to do it the other way. Get your big gift first before you add the wrapping paper. That makes sense. But I don't dismiss the notion of setting the stage, then using that stage to help convince the star to come play on it.Maybe there is an advantage there?Something to keep in mind as the GM meetings get off the ground.
In terms of the stuff the fans care about?Not all that often.But the organizational stuff gets hammered out that makes baseball run, and seeds for deals are often planted.There is supposed to be some talk about cheating allegations against the Astros.That should be interesting, perhaps as much to Cardinals fans as any fans.
Bryce Harper was worth 1.3 in 2018, per Baseball-Reference.
He was also worth just 1.6 WAR in 2016, and only 1.1 WAR in 2014. He has immense talent, and will frustrate the bejeezus out of whatever fanbase keeps wishing for a return to his 2015 glory. I just pray that it's not the Cardinals.
The StL bullpen was last in the National League in 2018 in Win Probability Added. Last, Ben. THAT'S the place that offers the greatest chnce for upgrade -- and it won't cost $35-40M a year to grab a reliever from Japan (Kikuchi could relieve for a year, then replace Mikolas/Wacha when they leave via free agency) and trade for a couple more like Mychal Givens, Taylor Rogers, Joe Jimenez, Paul Fry, or especially Edwin Diaz.
Thanks for taking my remarks, Ben!
OK?And he was "worth" 10 WAR in 2015, and 4.7 WAR in 2017.He's also 26 years old, and should be entering the prime of his career.And I mentioned the numbers he has produced the past four seasons. I care about those a lot more than I care about what he did in his first three seasons in the majors, when most guys his age were playing minor-league ball.Yes, the bullpen needs help. That's been said. A million times. I agree. It is possible to address more than one need.
There's a shell game going on across the country when it comes to MLS expansion.MLS is telling every interested market what it wants to hear until it plants its flags, and it's hard to blame them for that. It has to have place to plant flags first, and multiple markets are in flux, like St. Louis.Nothing is guaranteed, and the unknown will remain as long as the state and aldermen have not approved the parts of the plan that needs their approval. The longer that takes, the greater the risk. But it remains true that STL is believed to be one of the most desirable markets for MLS.
Thank you for your comment at the 2:28 mark today! Harper is entering HIS PRIME! Cards would actually be paying for production to come, not paying on past production which every other free agent has basically been paid for. Have faith in our young cost controlled pitching and bring in the next icon for the next 10-12 years.
Wait a second. "The Mariners traded O'Neill for a reason"? That's part of your logic? You trust the Seattle front office to know what they're doing?! They haven't been to the playoffs since the 116-win team of 2001. You gotta do a lot better than that, Ben.
What do you hear about the chance of signing the hard-throwing Kikuchi out of Japan? Thanks, Ben.
If Harper is in fact in HIS PRIME then why has he been worth 1.3 and 1.6 WAR in two of his past three seasons?
The point is, he is massively talented and massively unreliable. He's a gamble. He's not Trout. He's barely half a Trout. The Cards are already very good. They just need a bullpen makeover, and they're a 95-win team. (The pen was 6 wins below AVERAGE per Win Probability last year. Worst in the N.L., tied with Miami, who was tanking for God's sake.)
Hey Ben, call me a simpleton or ignorant or whatever, but Bryce Harper goes beyond just WAR and OBP. He's a draw, a threat, and a signal of a commitment from this team to their fan base. Just thinking of being a Busch on opening day when they announce "Right fielder, Bryce Harper." Man, gives me goosebumps.
I think that stuff is a bonus. But you have to be convinced he's a transcendent talent before you give him that contract. Nothing else -- the perks if you will -- should cloud the math. Unlike some, I consider more than WAR when evaluating a player. Harper has been a force the past four seasons. He should be entering the best stretch of his career, production-wise. There are very many reasons he fits what the Cardinals need.
Andrelton Simmons is a glove only guy? .292/.337/.417--with 11 home runs. Only 44 strike outs in 600 plate appearances, 44! And he is 28...plug that in for a few years and I think the Cardinals would be very happy. But of course the Angels would want to have to deal him first.
I'm intrigued as to why you see Britton as the best fit for the Cardinals? Are you concerned about his health going forward? It's interesting, he actually resembles a left-handed Hicks to me (that can "only" reach the high 90's) with his power sinker, it would be fascinating to see them in the same bullpen. It would definitely be a weak contact oriented bullpen in a spin rate world, and that would be fascinating to watch.
He's a good free agent left-handed reliever, so he should be considered to be on the Cardinals' radar.Yes, the health would be a question. That was a big mystery around this time last year. But, health and relievers are always going to be questions. Most relievers are relievers because they didn't have the stuff or the durability to keep starting.Britton is intriguing because of his experience, stuff and success.If Hicks is the closer, it would not be bad to have someone -- a new edition of Norris -- who could jump in if there's turbuelence there.Britton could be that guy perhaps.
Hey Ben, what are your thoughts on Mizzou vs Vanderbilt on Saturday? Tigers seem to be hitting on all cylinders right now, but Vandy has had that extra week to prepare, and they were capable vs Arkansas ... but, it's Arkansas. How do you see it shaking out, independent of typical SEC hideous officiating?
I like Mizzou to win out, but Vanderbilt is the biggest threat to spoil that run after the upset of Florida.Vandy has allowed just 24.9 points per game against winning FBS opponents. That's pretty good defense. Top-50 in that category.The Dores will be upbeat after a week off and snapping that three-game losing streak by beating Arkansas.Arkansas is bad. Tennessee hit its high-water mark with the win at Auburn. Vanderbilt is not as good as Mizzou. Tigers should take care of business and be 8-4 entering its bowl game.That's one win better than I predicted, and a strong finish after some heartbreaking losses this season.
I have trouble understanding the apathy toward Mizzou football. Tigers have lost to #2 Georgia, #1 Alabama, to previously ranked South Carolina and, of course, had the 1-point stolen game against #12 Kentucky. It would've been great to win more games, but good grief! A very tough non-con schedule, then the SEC. A LOT of teams would love to have a bad year like this. Remember it next year when there's no Drew Lock, Terry Beckner Jr. or Emanuel Hall on the roster. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may....
Well, that's certainly a rosy outlook on what happened against South Carolina and Kentucky.Football seasons are best analyzed in full, though that rarely happens.Eight wins would be a step forward for Odom in year three, and without a doubt deserving of a third season.Seven wins and another bowl trip is not enough to fire him.
Ben, yep I agree Mizzou should move on from MPJ. Jontay has already done so much more for Mizzou than MPJ ever did. If Jontay doesn't play another minute in college ball I totally understand. If there is an opportunity for him to go get paid in the NBA then go for it. He has earned that opportunity.
I'll let him know you approve.Honestly, kids who are talented enough should be allowed to go directly into the league.The one-and-done rule is a joke and I'm glad the developmental league is at least considering competing for those kids by offering one-year contracts.

Opioid addiction and withdrawal differentially drive long-term depression of inhibitory synaptic transmission in the hippocampus
Addictive behavior is increasingly accepted as a drug-associated pathological memory in which the hippocampus is profoundly engaged. It has been well documented that adaptations of synaptic plasticity of excitatory transmission in the hippocampus may contribute to opioid addiction.

THIS is from The Wall Street Journal: The oil drilling moratorium for deep water offshore drilling is all about politics. This is no surprise. Class warfare is alive and well in America, led largely by Barack Obama himself. The man thrives on that narrative and depends on divisions among people to push through his big government takeovers and huge legislation agenda.
All of this matters because it offers proof the moratorium was driven by politics, not safety. The drilling ban was not reviewed by experts, and was not necessary to satisfy most of the safety recommendations in Mr. Salazar's report. It was authored by political actors so Mr. Obama could look tough. A cynic might argue the ban was only added after review precisely because the Administration knew experts would refuse to endorse it.
Color me a cynic.
Weary of pieces critical of the deep water moratorium? Wait until you are paying $5 a gallon at the gas pump. This moratorium doesn't just simply affect the thousands of offshore workers and service workers and small businesses along the Gulf coast. This moratorium affects the entire country. Plus the added bonus of making our nation more dependent on foreign oil, not less, as is the proclaimed goal of this administration. This is all about politics.
"You don't want to let a good crisis get away" is a quote from Athan Manuel. Manuel is director of lands protection for Sierra Club. The goal of Sierra Club is a permanent moratorium on all new offshore drilling. This logic is the result of allowing ideology to dictate policy. The extreme in the environmental movement insist the moratorium is the first step of action, not a temporary move.
The oil drilling industry is the most regulated and taxed of any in this nation. If more regulation is needed, begin by enforcing the regulations already on the books. That is common sense. Reform the corrupted aspects of the MMS. Do away with the cozy relationships and do the job of keeping an eye on operations.
Barack Obama benefited more from BP contributions as a candidate for President than any other. Obama placed the director of MMS into that position. This administration was well into their second year of a four year term when the Deepwater Horizon blew up. This administration's MME signed off on the oil rigs permits and procedures. Those are the facts.
Did Obama shut down coal mining after the last tragic accident which killed several miners? No. He even attended and eulogized the miners at the memorial held for them. This double standard, too, is all about politics. It is wrong.
The immediate fall-out of the moratorium will reap more pain on the Gulf coast. Not only does the population residing there have to deal with potentially devastating destruction of the fishing industry and the wetlands but small businesses are on the ropes. Service industries have no drilling rigs to service. Tourism is way down from uncertainty. For those living paycheck to paycheck, the effects are immediate. Unemployment numbers skyrocket. Most Americans are simply not aware of the numbers of people affected by a drilling moratorium. It is in the hundreds of thousands. How does all this fit into Obama's claim of not resting until everyone has a job?
A quote from The Wall Street Journal: "Mr. President, you were looking for someone's butt to kick," said Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph, recently. "You're kicking ours."
Today Obama goes to Ohio to celebrate a building project - the alleged 10,000th project funded by the stimulus program. Bonus - the workers are being told to stay home today due to the presidential visit. They will each lose about $200, on average as a result. Way to go, Mr. President. What will the people in the drilling industry and along the Gulf coast celebrate today?
Day 60.

A young lady on Instagram recently "liked" a bunch of pictures there. I pulled up her IG profile to see if she was Pretty Faces material. She's new – has some cute selfies and a few good snapshots – and has some potential. I sent her a message through IG (note to new models – you really need to improve your options if you want photographers to contact you) thanking her for the likes and asking her if she'd like to set up a shoot.
Her immediate first reply back to me was, "How much do you pay your models? I need some good pictures for my new Patreon."
I sent her these options:
- TFP (Trade for Print/Pictures/Portfolio) – Good choice for new models who need quality images for your on-line portfolio and social media presence. You will receive no fewer than 12 edited and "finished" photos for your on-line portfolio and social media use. I can only use the photos for on-line portfolio and social media use. Neither you nor I can offer any of the photos for sale or use on pay or subscription sites without mutual consent, approval, and additional compensation. Model release is not required. A use agreement is required.
- Trade for Content – Good if you have a pay site and need new content. You will receive no fewer than 24 edited and "finished" photos for your subscription site(s), and an equivalent number of unfinished photos for potential additional use. No money is involved between you and me. I will provide a use agreement giving you exclusive license to provide the photos for sale on your current subscription site(s) for 12 months. You will credit Pretty Faces Photography, and provide a backlink to my site. Model release and use agreement are required.
- Pay – You will be paid an agreed upon dollar figure in cash. You will receive payment in lieu of photos. I will have ability to offer the photos for sale on pay or subscription sites or submission for publication in print or on-line content providers. Some web versions samples of the shoot may be provided, but none are promised. A full model release is required.
Those are the value arrangements for our working together. Your choice.
She replied that she was expecting to be paid AND get photos for her Patreon. See Money Changes Everything for my thoughts about that

A Few Of My Favorite Things: End-Of-Summer Makeup
Summer's motto is less is more, and although I love a deep aubergine lip or a smokey slate eye, I'm not quite ready to let go of my barely-there makeup looks. Come fall, there are days when I still want to appear like I'm not trying too hard, and the key to an undone/ done look is starting with a flawless complexion (more on this in a later post), and adding a bit of glow…everywhere.
Here are six products I'm currently coveting for natural glowy vibes:
I'd be remiss to write this post without starting it off with Barbara Sturm's Glow Drops ($135). Technically a skincare product, I love using this as part of my makeup routine. You can apply by mixing a few drops into your moisturizer or foundation, but I actually use the Glow Drops on top of my makeup — as a final step, dabbing on cheekbones. It sinks into the skin beautifully, doesn't leave any streaks, and actually breaks up harsh lines created by bronzers and blushes.
Smashbox Cover Shot Eye Palettes in Petal Metal ($29) offers a range of shimmering nudes and golds, including the looks-good-on-every-skin-tone rose gold, for a sultry, shimmery eye. I'm into the tawny-beiges and shimmering rose golds to add a wash of color, without seeming too made up. If you prefer a bold eye, and at night, I certainly do, this palette can appease. Just add the dark brown to the crease and smoke it out. Remember to blend everything so it looks creaseless.
You'll notice that I have a lot of highlighter products in my repertoire, and that's because I love mixing textures, colors, and consistencies (I also just LOVE highlighter). The Wander Beauty On-The-Glow Blush and Illuminator ($42) is a perfect multitasker for a swipe of flush with a glowy finish. Bare/Nude Glow, a subtle pink with nude undertones, is light and natural, and you can actually apply it to lips and eyes, too.
More highlighters: RMS Living Luminzer in Champagne Rosé ($38) is what my life (and face) was missing. The color is slightly rosier than your average golden champagne shade, but it's the formula that really sets this highlighter apart. It's sheen, almost sheer, with just a touch of shimmer and a gorgeous glowy finish. I actually love to use this on my eyelids to make them pop a bit when I'm not wanting a full eye look, but it's also amazing on lips (even over a lipstick to add a kick of reflective shimmer), cheekbones, brow bone, and should bones.
I love a nude lip that has a hint of pink (beige makes me look sickly), and RMS Wild With Desire Lipstick in Blush Nude ($28) is a pinky nude that has surprisingly good staying power. They call it a satin-finish, but it felt more firm to me — not exactly a matte, but not glossy either. To add a slight glossy finish, I layer with the Champagne Rosé highlighter. For additional shine, I layer with Go-To Lips Super Balm ($15), which is all-natural, super hydrating, and shiny without any stickiness. This is also great on its own it you like your natural lips, just glossier. (I love the healthy-for-you ingredients in this super balm formulation.)

My little gardener finally has a garden! I've been wanting to add a nature element to our new homeschooling plan and since we're finally getting the ball rolling on "summer school", it was time to give her a place to get her hands dirty. The problem, of course, is that we rent our little house and we already have a very lovely garden that doesn't have a lot of room for improvement. On the bright side, Eva is quite taken with all of the different plants that we have and I'm quite taken with the fact that I don't have to mow/weed/water anything.
Still, I wanted to give her a place to grow something of her own and it just so happens that we already had the perfect place to start a garden. Last summer, we happened to be driving by a garage sale that was packing up and we stopped because they had some kid shoes scattered out on the lawn and I love me some secondhand kid shoes. They sold me a great pair of boots for a dollar and then offered us a water table for free if we'd take it away. It didn't have a lid and there was once an umbrella that had broken off, but we were happy to take it and Eva played with it a few times before the weather got too cold.
I filled it up again just a few weeks ago and added a nearby basket of water toys, but two problems immediately popped up: (1) Eva kept taking water from the water table to add to her sandbox and she ended up creating a marsh and (2) every time Calvin is set loose outside, he goes straight to the water table to put the sand-and-bug-filled water into his mouth. So the water table has not been my favorite thing.
We recycled it. Now it's a kid garden.
It wasn't hard at all. I used a large nail to punch a bunch of holes in the bottom of the table and we added a layer of pebbles (to help with the moisture) and filled it with garden soil and some small plants. We picked out herbs that we use often and a couple of flowers in Eva's favorite colors, along with some small tomato plants that will likely not make tomatoes because I can never get tomatoes to grow.
I also got some packets of seeds so she could start some plants from nothing. She has no concept of how seeds turn into plants so I'm hoping that something sprouts soon because right now she just thinks she's out there making pots of mud.
One of the most fun things is that she's actually eating some of the fruits of her labors and making that connection about where food comes from. This has been a little scary for me, because I thought that it would lead to her snacking on a whole host of deadly backyard plants, but she's been good about asking whether or not something is edible. If you want to try one of her favorites, get yourself some spearmint leaves, cut them into thin strips, and toss them with some watermelon, honey, and lime juice. It's pretty delicious!
Any gardening tips for me? Or recipes that Eva might like? We're growing spearmint, peppermint, sweet basil, thyme, rosemary, and chives.
