Since technology has brought on quite a lot of changes for how things are done, it is now normal to relate the internet to the industry of seeking services. When a person is looking for something, their best avenue is to go online. This is the reason why even gambling has been widely propagated over this platform. For sports fans and gambling enthusiasts, going online seems to have been the perfect solution for them in terms of satisfying their enjoyment.
The Right Website to Bet On
But despite the many conveniences that the internet has brought, there are also some things that you need to consider with regards to dealing with an agen bola. This tidbit might seem insignificant at first, but an agent can actually make or break your streak with gambling online. Keep in mind that there are a lot of scammers out there and it is a very real possibility for you to get tricked. You should take to heat the warning signs that are present when spotting fakes. Choose the right website to bet on, and you set a good foundation for yourself in the long term.
A ball agent is very important because this person will serve as the bridge to your transactions. This task is no joke and it cannot be taken lightly. For gambling enthusiasts, they know that function of an agent, but it is a lot harder to land a reliable one when you are online. You will not get to meet them personally and this is a risky endeavor already. This is the reason why you cannot settle for the first agent that you find. It is necessary to collect and select options before finally deciding. It might be tedious, but at least, you have the assurance that everything will run smoother in the long term.

Ralph Monroe Sharpe
Ralph Monroe Sharpe, 89, passed away Sunday, August 29, at his home south of Tunica.
Born on July 12, 1921 in Poinsett County, Arkansas, Mr. Sharpe established his agricultural aviation business in Tunica County in 1947. He was an innovator in his field, being among the first in this area to use such improvements as trained flaggers and satellite guidance. His airport was also the first public airport in Tunica County.
In 1949, National Geographic chose to picture Mr. Sharpe and his airplane as representatives of the cropdusting industry in the South.

You just bought a car company. Now what?
If you're an American taxpayer, congratulations! You are now the owner of one of the world's largest auto manufacturers.
Maybe you never wanted to buy a car company. Maybe you hoped that your tax dollars would go toward something else, like fixing potholes, building schools, or perhaps a conducting a bombing raid somewhere. But you don't get much of a say about where your taxes go, and the people who do have a say decided that your money should buy a controlling interest of General Motors, and that's that.
So now that you have a car company, what are you going to do with it? It's a tough question, and there are no shortage of people weighing in.
Lefty filmmaker Michael Moore, who first became famous for his 1989 film, "Roger & Me," which described what happened in his home town after the GM plant closed there, has big plans for the company. He wants to retool GM's plants – and retrain its 60,000 workers – to make bullet trains, light rail systems, energy-sipping buses, solar panels, windmills, and a few hybrids and electric vehicles. To pay for all this, he proposes a $2-per-gallon gas tax.
The editorial board at the Nation, who, it's safe to say, share many of Mr. Moore's political views, call for pretty much the same thing.

Pros: - it was super fun. - The other musicians all admired the courage to do all original music. Gives you street cred, apparently. - Because people didn't recognize the songs, they also didn't recognize our mistakes ;-) Cons:

Ian Morris's Big Idea: When the West Falls Behindtags: Daily Beast, Ian Morris, West, civilization
What's your big idea?
The big idea is that geography explains why the West rules the world—and why its domination may not last much longer.
There are two sides to the story.
First, geography determines how societies develop. The world's first complex societies appeared toward the Western end of the Old World (around 9000 BC), because, thanks to geography, more plants and animals that could be domesticated had evolved there than anywhere else on earth. Geography dictated that East Asia had fewer potentially domesticable plants and animals.
The second part of the story, however, is that social development determines what geography means. When societies developed to the point that it could organize irrigation systems (about 4000 BC), that changed geography's meaning. Having access to great rivers now became all-important. Egypt and Mesopotamia turned into breadbaskets.
By about 500 BC, though, societies had developed far enough to master the sea. Greece's and Rome's access to the Mediterranean mattered more than access to great rivers.
By AD 1500, sailors could cross the Atlantic—but not the Pacific, which is twice as wide. The result: Europeans discovered and colonized the Americas. By 1800, Europe had had an industrial revolution and could project power globally.
By 1900, societies could master the Pacific too, drawing East Asia into the global economy. North America, with access to both oceans, soon replaced Europe at this economy's core.
By 2000, social development had shrunk the Pacific. East Asia is moving from being a periphery to being a new core in its own right.
What geography gives, it can also take away....

AP United States History I Mr. Hache General Course Description: This challenging yet rewarding course will examine the origins and development of the United States of America. We will analyze, discuss, research and evaluate the events that led to the formation of this fledgling nation and then explore the causes and impact of American development up to and including the era known as the Gilded Age. The students will be active participants in this class and are expected to think critically, use creativity and express themselves both orally and through written work. The Purpose of the AP Program: The Advanced Placement Program (AP) offers a course and exam in AP United States History to qualified students who wish to complete studies in secondary school equivalent to an introductory college course in U.S. history. The AP U.S. History Exam presumes at least one year of college-level preparation, as is described in this book. The AP U.S. History course is designed to provide students with the analytic skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials in U.S. history. The program prepares students for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to those made by full-year introductory college courses. Students should learn to assess historical materials—their relevance to a given interpretive problem, reliability, and importance—and to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. An AP U.S. History course should thus develop the skills necessary to arrive at conclusions on the basis of an informed judgment and to present reasons and evidence clearly and persuasively in essay format. Themes in AP U.S. History: The College Board 2009 1. American Diversity: The diversity of the American people and the relationships among different groups. The roles of race, class, ethnicity, and gender in the history of the United States. 2. American Identity: Views of the American national character and ideas about American exceptionalism. Recognizing regional differences within the context of what it means to be an American. 3. Culture: Diverse individual and collective expressions through literature, art, philosophy, music, theater, and film throughout U.S. history. Popular culture and the dimensions of cultural conflict within American society. 4. Demographic Changes: Changes in birth, marriage, and death rates; life expectancy and family patterns; population size and density. The economic, social, and political effects of immigration, internal migration, and migration networks. 5. Economic Transformations: Changes in trade, commerce, and technology across time. The effects of capitalist development, labor and unions, and consumerism. 6. Environment: Ideas about the consumption and conservation of natural resources. The impact of population growth, industrialization, pollution, and urban and suburban expansion. 7. Globalization: Engagement with the rest of the world from the fifteenth century to the present: colonialism, mercantilism, global hegemony, development of markets, imperialism, and cultural exchange. 8. Politics and Citizenship: Colonial and revolutionary legacies, American political traditions, growth of democracy, and the development of the modern state. Defining citizenship; struggles for civil rights. 9. Reform: Diverse movements focusing on a broad range of issues, including anti-slavery, education, labor, temperance, women's rights, civil rights, gay rights, war, public health, and government. 10. Religion: The variety of religious beliefs and practices in America from prehistory to the twenty-first century; influence of religion on politics, economics, and society. 11. Slavery and Its Legacies in North America: Systems of slave labor and other forms of un-free labor (e.g., indentured servitude, contract labor) in American Indian societies, the Atlantic World, and the American South and West. The economics of slavery and its racial dimensions. Patterns of resistance and the long-term economic, political, and social effects of slavery. 12. War and Diplomacy: Armed conflict from the pre-colonial period to the twenty-first century; impact of war on American foreign policy and on politics, economy, and society.

Urban Society in the Late Nineteenth Century Urbanization and the lure of the city City problems and machine politics Intellectual and cultural movements and popular entertainment Additional Skills In addition to exposing students to the historical content listed above, an AP course should also train students to analyze and interpret primary sources, including documentary material, maps, statistical tables, and pictorial and graphic evidence of historical events. Students need to have an awareness of multiple interpretations of historical issues in secondary sources. Students should have a sense of multiple causation and change over time, and should be able to compare developments or trends from one period to another. The AP Exam The exam is 3 hours and 5 minutes in length and consists of two sections: a 55-minute multiple-choice section and 130-minute free-response section. The free-response section begins with a mandatory 15-minute reading period. Students are advised to spend most of the 15 minutes analyzing the documents and planning their answer to the document-based essay question (DBQ) in Part A. Suggested writing time for the DBQ is 45 minutes. Parts B and C each include two standard essay questions that, with the DBQ, cover the period from the first European explorations of the Americas to the present. Students are required to answer one essay question in each part in a total of 70 minutes. For each of the essay questions students choose to answer in Parts B and C, it is suggested they spend 5 minutes planning and 30 minutes writing. Both the multiple-choice and the free-response sections cover the period from the first European explorations of the Americas to the present, although a majority of questions are on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Period Covered Approximate Percentage of Test: (Multiple-choice section only) Pre-Columbian to 1789 20% 1790 to 1914 45% 1915 to the present 35% Whereas the multiple-choice section may include a few questions from the period since 1980, neither the DBQ nor any of the four essay questions in Parts B and C will deal exclusively with this period. Together, the multiple-choice and free-response sections cover political institutions, behavior, and public policy; social change, and cultural and intellectual developments; diplomacy and international relations; and economic developments. Material Covered Approximate Percentage of Test: (Multiple-choice section only) Political institutions, behavior, and public policy 35% Social change, and cultural and intellectual developments 40% Diplomacy and international relations 15% Economic developments 10% The U.S. History Development Committee's note on social and cultural history: Much recent scholarship in U.S. history merges social and cultural history. Based on college curriculum survey data, the Development Committee decided to combine these two categories into one called social change, and cultural and intellectual developments. A substantial number of social, cultural, and economic history questions deal with such traditional topics as the impact of legislation on social groups and the economy or the pressure brought to bear on political processes by social, economic, and cultural developments. Because historical inquiry is not neatly divided into categories, many questions pertain to more than one area. Rough Marking Period Grade Breakdown: There will be approximately two tests per marking period, which should make-up roughly 50% of the marking period grade. There will also be a major project or paper each marking period that will be worth a test grade or 25% of the marking period grade. The final 25 % of the marking period grade will consist of homework, class participation, quizzes, writing, mini-projects, and class work.

Tactical Ripstop Pant - Dickies
Dickies Tactical Ripstop pant, engineered to work as hard as the officers who...
In any given year when we are willing to celebrate the fact that only 50 or so of our brothers and sisters were murdered in the line of duty, it is readily apparent that too many of us are still messing up — fatally — on far too many occasions. Nevertheless, we are doing a much better job of recognizing the fatal errors. And in many cases we are counteracting them.
It might look easy, but you better be ready for training and lots of exercise before you trade in your cruiser for two wheels.
As soon as the cop flipped on his siren, my heart started to beat a little quicker and my hands started to hold onto my mug of coffee a little harder.
Hey! We're the Bad Guys! Over Here!
Beware and prepare for snakebites.
This Old West town's small force juggles city and county duties.
Keep officer survival smart and simple.
More astounding is the fact those same people seem perfectly content to put their lives into your hands.
When our society finally realizes it should be politically correct to stop crime, the wasted energy now spent by those pounding their fists against racial profiling will be better spent taking action against those same "bad" people the cops are already trying to stop.
He sensed movement and, as he focused on its source, he felt a chill, like a cold hand passing through him.

Corn for Freezing: Blanch or Not?
We eat a lot of fresh corn in season (especially now we live 3 minutes from a farm stand), but I've never bothered to freeze any of it for winter use before. I find President's Choice Peaches & Cream frozen kernels to be unusually good for frozen veggies and have made do with them.
But now we have a freezer, and the corn is so cheap and plentiful and good, I thought I'd try putting some up this year.
Do you blanch the ears before cutting off the kernels, or just cut & freeze?
Don't want it on the cob? I trim the ears, blanch and freeze the ears 6 to a bag. Then you can eat on or cut off the cob when you serve it. We think it holds texture better that way.
If you want it cut off then blanch the ears, put in ice water, cut it off the cob and pack drained in freezer bags or containers. Or you can also scrape the cobs for the milk and freeze it as cream-style corn.
I have tried doing it the way Dave says and it always tastes "cobby" to me, but I know many people do it that way and like it. Freezing on the ear also takes up far more precious freezer space, so it's just not worth it to me.
My aunt contends that if you cut the kernels off the ears first, then blanch and freeze, you get more corn. I haven't tested that proposition.
I have taken to doing the following: When we have corn on the cob for dinner, I always cook extra ears. Then after dinner I whip out the electric knife and my trusty bundt pan, balance the ear on the hole in the bundt pan, and cut the corn off the extra ears, bag and freeze. This takes about 15 minutes and you don't end up boiling extra water, or devoting an afternoon to processing corn.
I suggest you try freezing several different ways, you'll quickly figure out what tastes and works best for you.
Wow, what a lot of different methods! Clearly I'll have to experiment a bit.
It seems to me that if I "blanch" the corn for five minutes, as some people have suggested, it will be not so much blanched as cooked --- I usually don't cook it any longer than that to eat right away. I THINK that I would prefer to have it not fully cooked when I freeze it, since I"ll be cooking it at least a bit further whenever I use it. Hmm.
I also have considered blancing in the microwave. Last week when we bought corn someone else buying it at the same time was saying she had recently been converted to cooking it in the microwave --- 3 to 4 minutes on high, still in the husk, then peel and eat! We tried it and it worked great, no water to boil at all... (Though we do find it is so hot inside that it needs to cool a fair bit after the microwaving before it can be peeled comfortably.)
What do the enzymes do and why do I want to de-activate them?
triple B,
Oh, I agree about those chips! I also like the Butter Chicken frozen entrees (now that I live in a small town with no Indian restaurants they're a life saver!).
Zabby, here is a link on blanching vegetables for freezing.
Here is a link that might be useful: Why you blanche vegetables for freezing
One of my friends, her dad raised sweet corn and put her through college with it. They just take the corn, leave it in the husks, and put it in the freezer. It does take up a lot of room, but if you put about 6 ears in a doubled shopping bag and tie it up, it's really good.It sounded too easy--but I tried it and it works just fine.
Somehow, the shucks keep it from going hard, and you can microwave it in the husks and then carefully remove it for eating. You can also grill it after thawing.
Zab, not being a user of frozen entrees myself, I didn't know about the butter chicken one. I do however love their curry sauces in the jar. Butter chicken, Tikka Masala (My fave) and Madras Curry (the hot one which I have not tried yet. Hubby is a chicken). Like Sharwoods and that other one, only cheaper.
Hey All,
At the risk of being scolded, I will admit that I just husk corn, wash it, and cut the cobs in half and freeze it.
My ex-mother-in-law always blanched it before freezing on the cob only to produce mushy results. I find that the corn does not lose its flavor and results in a "crisp" ear of corn.
I have never had any problems with it, but I do it as soon as I get it. So, I don't know......I do know that I have blanched it when removing it from the cob and storing in freezer bags........
I know this is an old thread...but Lesa brought up my problem exactly.
The few paltry ears of corn that made it from my garden last year (that wern't eaten on the spot)...I blanched and froze.
EVERY single one of them has been soggy and not very tasty :bleh:
I only blanched a couple ears at a time and put them in ice water when done....I'm pretty sure I only cooked them for about 3 minutes, but that was last year ;)
Should I cook them longer, since I'm at higher altitude? Or was there something else that I probably messed up that I'm not thinking of ;)
Anyway, sorry for pulling up an old thread :)
Blanching and then removing the kernals from the cobs gives a much better flavor. My corn, when I grow it is usualy the all yellow varieties, and not sugar enhanced or any of the sweeter hybrids. The cobs are picked, and blanched immediately and then I use corn cutters to remove all the kernals. These get frozen in bags and even after 6 or more months they are still quite good as to flavor. One hing about corn is the fact that once its picked, the kernals start pushing the natural sugar out and back into the cobs where all the flavor seems to go. Thats one of the main reasons they have developed these higher sugar corn hybrids to counteract long storage times. My brothers wifes' parents were farmers and when they served us cut corn that was from their big commercial garden, it was as good as if not better than fresh from the supermarket. Anyone ever heard of Hawkins Farm in Salem NH? That was one place that was mobbed during harvest time.
One thing not mentioned here is the water used to blanch corn. My water here at this farm is heavy with lime. When blanching and cooling, then cutting off the cob it's just fine. However I have tried blanching clean ears, cooling, then freezing whole ears. It don't work. It taste sour and smells spoiled. On another farm nearby with well water not filtered thru a water conditioner, the frozen ears were completely different. You will just have to work it out with your water because it makes a difference.
Three minutes sounds like a long time for blanching to me. I only cook corn about 5 minutes total before eating, sometimes less.
But since I was the original poster of this thread, you know I don't know much about this topic and am a new corn freezer!
In the end, I didn't blanch. At least, I think I didn't. I just cut the kernels off and froze. And we're enjoying them a great deal now --- put some in some chicken fajitas yesterday at lunch, in fact. Definitely more flavourful than most store-bought kernel corn, and better texture than even the President's Choice, which like all others tends to be too soft. These are definitely not soft or mushy. In fact, if I have any complaints it's that they are not the tenderest in the world, either, though I think that is because it was late-season corn that was not so very tender to begin with, IIRC.
Will try putting up more earlier in the season next year, perhaps.
Each year we do about 75 quarts each time we set up. I have 3 families to grow for. I blanch for 2 min and plung in cold water to cool. I use a turkey fryer and blanch 10 ears at a time. Never had the nerve to do it without blanching unless I am puting directly in a frying pan with butter and cooking.
Yes, corn cooks fast, and my blanch is only about 2 minutes. My corn cutter will take 3 rows at once from end to end. I have several different cutters, but this latest cutter is all stainless and has a blade guide for row type corn. Its not as useful for shoepeg type though.
Enzymes are the part of the food that causes it to grow and mature. Killing the enzymes (done through blanching) tells the food to stop maturing and "freezes" the state of maturation. No one so far has mentioned timing. The chemical makeup of corn changes in the first four hours, and if you've never tasted corn picked while the water was boiling, you'll disagree. If you have, you're a corn snob like me. Toxins start to develop in the corn after about four hours; sugars begin to turn to starches, and the consistency toughens. Work in very small batches, be quick and get the corn in the freezer ASAP. If it sits through a meal waiting, my opinion is that it's ready for the livestock. (told you I was a corn snob)
> The chemical makeup of corn changes in the first four hours, and if you've never tasted corn picked while the water was boiling, you'll disagree. If you have, you're a corn snob like me.
Fresher is definitely better. But modern corn hybrid varieties are different from old-time corn, in which the sugars could all turn to starches if it wasn't even picked on exactly the right day. (That's why it's so much rarer to find folks who grow heirloom corn than heirloom tomatoes.) I have indeed picked it from my yard with the water boiling, and I have to say that I find it's mostly a party trick --- a "because I can" thing. With most varieties, the chemistry is such that a few hours really doesn't make much difference.
Philistine Zabby
The newer sugar enhanced types have been bred to produce more sugar in the kernals. Its called a 'shrunken gene'. The reason for the extra sugar was to help prevent he loss that goes back into the cobs during sort term storage. White kernals are always white, and yellow was always yellow. The bicolor came later, then the sugar enhanced types. If you plant heirloom types next to sugar enhanced or Sh varieties, the whole crop will be useless. Trust me, I made that mistake two years ago, when I mixed a few nearly empty corn seed packets together and planted several rows, 30 foot long. The end result were mostly short stalks only 3-4 feet tall, and stubby corn cobs with maybe 3-4 rows of kernals at the stem ends, and undeveloped tips. Needless to say, no matter what was done to them as to pollination, fertilizer, etc, didn't change the outcome. Since then, I have thrown out every last corn packet that has Sa or Sh in its description, and will only grow yellow corn that have been the 'gold standard' for many years. I don't care for the sugar enhanced ones anyway. They taste as if someone had added a LOT of sugar to the kernals, and that kills the natural flavors and character.
One thing that I have done when we have had little rain for 2 or 3 weeks as the corn is maturing, I pick the corn and put in large tubs of water. I let it soak overnite and prepare it the next morning. I might do 30 doz this way and it does take on a lot of water overnight. I think this helps keep the sugars in the corn. A lot of vendors at county fairs that sell roasted corn do this. I do this for corn that I display in compition at county fairs. A Ksrogers stated, 2 min blanching is enough for good quality corn.

Golf course promotion backfires
A Wisconsin golf course will remain open Wednesday despite a 9/11 promotion that went horribly wrong, even drawing death threats and claims to burn down the facility.

Ornamental Grasses- are some invasive?
I'm designing a grass garden for a friend, it backs up to "open space" that is an unmaintained hill going down. I'm concerned whether Miscanthus "Morning Light" would become invasive by its seeds?
The Color Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses by Rick Darke, says that 'Morning Light' is not inclined to self-sow. I think it's because it blooms late, like October, and isn't able to develop viable seeds before cold weather.
Phalaris arundinacea (ribbon grass) is very invasive. Here's some info...
Here is a link that might be useful: ribbon grass
Many ornamental grasses CAN be invasive, however like all other exotic or non-native plants, invasiveness will be defined by region. Don't rely on a book for this - all states have invasive plants listings, some even determined by county. Restrictions regarding the planting of certain plant species will differ from area to area, as will penalties for planting known invasives. Selfseeding or otherwise aggressive growth behaviours are not the same as invasiveness but may be just as worrisome in a garden setting.
Here is a link that might be useful: Maryland, invasive species
First of all, thanks everyone, for the help.
Wow- Miscanthus! That invasive species of Maryland site is really good- thanks. I think we'll start with Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) for screening, and then Buffalo Grass (Buchloe dactyloides) on the "path". She wants Hedera helix on the fence- I'm going to try to talk her into a few Clematises instead; there are a few that are purported to be evergreen around here.
You might want to rethink using Buchloe dactyloides in your path. Buffalo grass is not a hardy grass for regular foot traffic. If one can define "regular" in this instance.
Occasional foot traffic shouldn't be a major issue. One plus side of Buffalo grass would be the limited height it reaches.
Generally Buffalo grass is planted in park type situations to eliminate cutting practices. Once established Buffalo grass is very drought tolerant as well.
It will turn brown in drought conditions but will green up when it gets the moisture it needs.
Thanks, Jake
Actually, your experience with Buffalo grass confirms my incination to use it. The path is actually the walkway across the back of the garden, where the condo association requires she leave passage open for firefighters and the like. She doesn't want to do ANY mowing, but doesn't want to encourage anyone to walk by, either.
I have Miscanthus Morning Light and Adagio in my garden, and neither one of them is invasive. I have not noticed any seedlings from these plants, and they grow in well-contained clumps. The only ornamental grass that I have grown that has been invasive so far is Northern Sea Oats, Chasmanthium latifolia. It doesn't spread by runners, but reseeds fairly heavily. It hasn't been too difficult weeding out the seedlings, but it's not something you can just plant and forget about -- unless you want sea oats growing everywhere.
I had one C. latifolia last year, wintersown. I collected every seed it produced, WS'd them this year, and now I have 12 clumps. It's a great foliage plant, even if you deadhead or collect the seeds. To prevent self-seeding, cut the seedheads, with their stems, when they are ripe, but before they fall. Use them in the house in dried flower arrangements. You can keep them quite a while, and then sow the seeds if you want more plants.
my miscanthus gracillimus, giganteus and strictus all have sown little volunteers around my gardens. several kinds will do so. pennisetum aloepecuriodes ssp and esp the moudry cultivar are self sowers too, in addition to the northern sea oats
i dig up and transplant the volunteers or give them away and sometimes i even pitch them as weeds.

Midterm grading is available for Spring 2015.
Midterm grading is primarily for warning students in danger of failing the course. All midterm warnings must be submitted on WebAdvisor by Friday April 3.
Faculty have the ability to enter mid-term grades and evaluations directly in WebAdvisor (replacing the use of the paper Mid-Term Reports). A corresponding warning comment must be completed for each student to whom a 'U: unsatisfactory' grade is assigned. Additionally, faculty may wish to enter comments for students in other circumstances, such as those doing exceptionally well (in this case no grade need be entered). Notification of the evaluation is emailed to the student and their advisors prompting them to view WebAdvisor.
Here are links to short instructional training videos:

There is a good reason why the protagonist of many action-adventure movies are superb martial artists. When it comes to hand-to-hand engagement, no one can compete against those who are schooled in these ancient, powerful, lightning-fast movements.

None of us really want to feel pain when we walk or run. There are times when you might enjoy a satisfying burn during a workout, and perhaps a bit of an ache the next day. But pain that limits your ability to focus or enjoy life, can be scary. "What if this doesn't change?" "Do I need to see a doctor?" The fear makes us avoid pain, often at great cost.

I was thrilled The Times wrote about this important topic. To me, the mind-body connection is one of the most important parts of healthy running and walking, but it is overlooked and often under utilized.

I'm not Catholic, but for almost 20 years now I've celebrated the forty days and forty nights of Lent. It's a time of year when some Christians give up something for forty days to represent the forty days before the Crucifixion when Jesus went into the desert and fought off the temptations of the Devil.
When I was growing up I used to really feel for the kids that had to give up something they liked to do, or liked to eat or whatever they were most attached to. I mean, geez… six weeks is a long time to go without. But, since I've adopted this practice as an adult, I have not only seen it's value, I actually look forward to it every year.

It's like magic. One second you feel exhausted, as if every ounce of energy and life is drained from your body. Then, from out of no where comes a surge of energy; alive, new, and potent like a rising sun. You have much more energy in your body than you think. At your fingertips are sources of energy that are untapped, underutilized, or not fully activated. Here are a few ways to access that energy while you're running, walking, and living your life:

I've been thinking a lot about performance lately and I've come to believe that, as a culture, we've drifted away from its original meaning. I hear the media mostly associating the word associated with the image of elite runners, high-level athletes, and people being noticed for exceptional effort. The word faster is always in there as well. Performance has morphed into a word that implies some amount of comparison. It's no wonder we all end up with varying degrees of "performance anxiety." What I'd like to offer is a more friendly definition so that performance doesn't bring up thoughts, feelings or fears of comparison.

On trial: Google Glass for Yves Saint Laurent Beauté make-up lesson
Last week, I donned my beauty editor hat to try out the new Google Glass makeup lesson service at YSL Beauté in Selfridges. The service launched earlier this year in the US and has worked its way to London, exclusively at Selfridges.
You book an appointment which costs £30 (redeemable against purchase). I had my appointment with the charming Fred Letailleur, YSL's head of make up for northern Europe, who is not only an expert make-up artist, but is now a master Google Glass user. Which is a considerable combination that needs extreme focus. Not only does the make-up artist have to concentrate on what they're doing to your face, but they're also operating a tiny camera (embedded inside the 'glasses') with discreet movements, and engaging with the customer – answering questions, making you feel at ease etc. Continue reading
VIDEO: On YSL, Google Glass and the future of beauty retail
You've got to hand it to Yves Saint Laurent Beauté, it has come up with a really smart way of using Google Glass. Back in September it introduced its hi-tech take-home tutorials to Bloomingdales (below), in which its make-up artist wielded his magic paints and brushes on customers, while simultaneously filming the one-to-one consultation using Google Glass.

Beauty bits: Marc Jacobs Beauty, Allure Youtube, Tom Ford, Lipstick.com, contour mania, the Taviettes, Diptyque, YSL
So Marc Jacobs Beauty arrived in London a couple of weeks ago and no one knew. Not even British Beauty Blogger! I stumbled upon the entire range of it in the Marc Jacobs Mount Street store (after a quick recce of Celine – retail heaven). It's not cheap but the colours are stunning and the lipstick packaging is right up there with Chanel's push-click cases. The staff are super helpful and encourage you to try the products, but I haven't yet. I definitely will soon though… Continue reading
Buy it now: Three colours red
Here are three killer red lipsticks I've been trialling that I can recommend if you love strong Hollywood reds in posh packaging…
First is Rouge Néon (shade 50) from Yves saint Laurent's Rouge Pur Couture Golden Lustre line (below, £25). This is a lush vermillion red that has an extremely flattering finish thanks to the addition of yellow, white and pink gold pearls. It's definitely not pearlised though; the effect is more a subtle 'lit from within' radiance that is YSL's DNA. Obviously, the gold casing is as fabulous as the lipstick inside, I never get bored with it. Buy it here and here…
Beauty snippets: Boys in blusher, Marc Cain X Uslu Airlines, the problem with product placement, summer scents, YSL Forever Light Creator
The big beauty buzz for me during the last few weeks has been around men's beauty and grooming. With the news of Tom Ford's imminent grooming line (due this autumn) and Marc Jacobs Beauty's unisex products (coming to a Sephora near you soon), it seems men's luxury makeup is tipping into the mainstream. Pushing things further, Hedi Slimane's models at Saint Laurent wore full-on eyeliner and lipstick for the SS14 shows in Paris. If anyone understands youth culture it's Slimane so I'm keen to see if the cool young indie set take this aesthetic to its natural conclusion. Having grown up on Nick Rhodes, Adam Ant and David Sylvian, I hope they do. Continue reading
Beauty snippets: The Bling Ring, Jean-Louis Sebagh, Lisa Eldridge, Pinterest, YSL Baby Doll, Cosmetics A La Carte, Charlotte Tilbury, Into The Gloss, Bourjois
This is turning out to be an exciting month for beauty. I would love to make it to the Chanel no5 exhibition in Paris but frankly, that ain't gonna happen. More achievable is the Cosmetics A La Carte 'Colour And Culture' exhibition next week at 50 Redchurch Street E2. Celebrating forty years of the specialist cosmetics company (I've always wanted one of their custom-made foundations), the exhibition is only on for five days (22-26 May, 10-6pm) so rearrange that diary and schedule it in!

Beauty bits: Michael Kors, NARS, Jo Malone London, Into The Gloss, & Other Stories, YSL, My Beauty Emporium
The Michael Kors machine is about to get even bigger with the announcement of his colour cosmetics line arriving in August. He already has a hugely successful fragrance market (the scented Michael Kors leg shine is one of my all-time favourite products), but this beauty line is set to send his stock even higher.

If the earth could make music, what kind of songs would it sing? This crazy contraption, called the Terrafon, actually lets us find out the answer to that question! Designed as a huge turntable tone arm and transducer, this musical instrument plays the earth like a big gravelly vinyl record. Artists Olle Cornéer and Martin Lübcke premiered it as part of a performance entitled "Harvest" at the Volt Music Festival in Sweden. Read on to check out the video of these determined choir musicians as they drag the big wooden tool-of-music through the Swedish countryside.
Harvest by Alunda Kyrkokör (2009) from Olle Corneer on Vimeo.
This joyful bunch is actually the Alunda Church Choir, and it's conducted by Cantor Jan Hällgren, who we assume is the guy steering the plow.
Lübcke and Cornéer have collaborated on other musical organism projects: another piece, entitled Bacterial Orchestra, programs iPhones to create music given surrounding sounds. Placed in a group, the phones compete to become the most "musically adept," with the weaker cells dying off and regenerating. It's refreshing to see this kind of non-traditional collaboration – making melody with ambient sounds, phones, and with gravel and dirt.
So what kind of music does a Terrafon make? The resulting music sounds like, well, plowed earth. A rock gargling. An avalanche or a mountain crumbling. It actually sounds like a bit of a protest – like they should have asked permission before letting a bunch of amish-looking folks drag a big wooden tool through the troughs. But then, with all that's going on with the environment, would you really expect the earth to sound cheery?

Saundra G.
Daytona Beach, Florida
As an informed dental patient, featured blogger, and consumer advocate, my mission is to educate and help you save your teeth or accept and laugh through the fear, discomfort, and surprises of tooth loss with humor and hope. Got Teeth? A Survivor's Guide: How to keep your teeth or live... Full Bio
Saundra has presented a wonderful book, readable for all, with uncountable valuable points. She deserves to win!!!!!!!
The blog is extremely informative and I have gained much knowledge in regards to taking care my teeth and gums. Saundra's blog has given me the insight to understand the importance of oral health and why good oral practices should be a necessity in everyones life.
I find Saundra's blog gives helpful and personal advice that is not readily available on many medical sites. Nobody understands the shame and embarrassment I have felt losing an upper molar two years ago and not having enough money to have it replaced. It is visible if I smile my natural smile, so I am very conscious not to smile too broadly.
Other people keep telling me it's no big deal, but none of them have missing teeth. I am following her blog because she understands what I am going through, at my age (53) and not having dental insurance. I have received a great deal of helpful information given by somebody who understands and cares. I think her blog's human touch is a rare and needed resource.

Saundra is dedicated to educating people about the health of their teeth and gums. This is something very few people ever think about but Saundra has made it her mission to do so.
Saundra is sincere, informed and visionary.
I vote for Saundra.

The blog is very excellent and she is very well informed
I read this woman's book and it was so informative, well-researched, and opened my eyes...ah, maybe I should say opened my mouth---to the truth about dental health. Why hasn't anyone written this in layman's terms before?
Hooray for Saundra G! She has given people their smiles back!
