Paradise LandscapingRead MoreYou could say Jason Focht's love for grass is rooted in his love for golf. He started playing the game in childhood, then went on to become captain of the golf team at Fluvanna County High School. After graduation, he pursued a double major in horticulture and turfgrass management at Virginia Tech. There, his two loves combined: he spent his summers working at high-end golf courses, and semesters honing his expertise at the university's Turfgrass Research Center. Today, Focht puts his experience to use as the head of Paradise Landscaping. He and his team focus on turfgrass, landscape planning, and ousting pests from greenery as they tend to lawns and gardens around Botetourt County.120 Bear Wallow RoadBuchanan, VA US

Tiger PaintballRead MoreTiger Paintball's airball field was born from a custom design that its owners toiled to perfect. Unwilling to settle on offering a standard airball experience, Tiger's team came together to sew the turf's bonded surfaces together, carefully construct a rain-drainage system, and map out obstacles in a ways that eliminates visibility issues. With all that planning in place, now players are free to race across the inflatable-barricade-littered blue, red, yellow, and purple surfaces to blast at their opponents. The airball field hosts refereed bouts both by appointment and during weekend open play, and a separate shooting range accommodates guests looking to improve their aim before games. The pro shop sells gear, including markers, goggles, and high-pressure air systems, from trusted manufacturers such as Tippmann, Planet Eclipse, and Ninja Paintball, which makes all its equipment from recycled nunchucks.1260 Old Franklin Tpke.Rocky Mount, VA US

Arizona Coyotes
Mike Ribeiro excited for Phoenix Coyotes season to begin
When the Phoenix Coyotes ownership situation was settled, the team was finally able to spend money in free agency. The result was former Washington Capitals center Mike Ribeiro, who signed a four-year, $22-million contract to play in Phoenix.
Ribeiro is happy to be in Phoenix and has high expectations for the team. He pointed to goaltender Mike Smith and a talented defense as reasons why the Coyotes can contend for the Stanley Cup this year.
"That was one of my goals, was to win a cup, and I believe with the coaching staff we have here and the players, we're going the right direction and I'm happy to be here and help them," Ribeiro said at the team's media day Wednesday.
Ribeiro, a 14-year vet, is known as a goal-creator and was tied for tenth last season in points, totaling 49 in just 48 games. He's hoping to continue his playmaking ways in Phoenix.
"I'm just going to try to make my teammates better, try to create for them offensively," Ribeiro said, adding an additional focus will be put on special teams, where his goal is for the team to rank in the top-10 this season.
Though he's joining a new team, there are some familiar faces on the Coyotes. He played with Smith under current Phoenix head coach Dave Tippett with the Dallas Stars in the mid-2000s. According to Ribeiro, the Coyotes' netminder has changed since they were last teammates.
"I guess he's matured since I met him, he was pretty young," Ribeiro said. "Having kids makes you mature a little bit. I'm sure he's still a little bit of a goof."
Ribeiro also had praise for Tippett, saying the coach has a good relationship with his players and makes their roles clear.
"He's easy to communicate with, he respects his players," Ribeiro said. "He's a guy who's calm behind the bench."

I've seen the videos of games that actually use it and compared that to the same game(mirrors edge,batman darkham asylum),that i actually own and ran in my system,and the differences are fairly subtle to say the least,and doesn't change the overall gameplay basically.
Developers would need to get way more agressive with GPU physics in terms of actually enhancing the gameplay/interactivity of the game itself,beyond what's possible with CPU physics,and pull that off with acceptable performance using a single GPU for both physics and graphics work,then they'd have something to really boast over the competition.
The current situation is no where near that right now.

Arguably the biggest downer of last nights Super Bowl was the Nationwide commercial about childhood death. As soon as the spot aired, it dominated the Internet with peoples reactions and Memes.
Many viewers of the Super Bowl were upset and when NBC cut from the TD celebration of Seattle's Doug Baldwin. They were also confused as to why he was flagged for excessive celebration.
The Longmont High School football team featured on NBC pre-game coverage of Super Bowl XLIX as part of an NFL program called "Together We Make Football."
During the NFL playoffs, there was a call that had many Dallas Cowboy fans up in arms compelling one Colorado resident to file a lawsuit.
The Denver Broncos opponents have been announced for next season. One of the bad things about winning your division is you get a tough schedule the next year.
It's official...the Denver Broncos have made the decision to hire Gary Kubiak as the new head coach for the next four seasons.
A Denver couple was asked by Bud Light if they were #UpForWhatever, they then threw an epic Monday Night Football party that included a Fort Collins DJ.
Earlier this week, a radio station out of Wisconsin started the 'Say No to Seattle' campaign, in preparation for the NFC championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks. Now, a town in Seattle is firing back.
After the announcement Monday that John Fox will no longer be the coach for the Broncos, John Elway held a news conference today, Jan. 13, at Denver Broncos' headquarters to discuss the the decision and the future of the team.
If you have ever gone to a baseball at Coors Field in Denver, you can agree that your experience there is unlike anywhere else.

Lorraine 1944
Patton versus Manteuffel
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Osprey's examination of the confrontation between the US Army and German forces in Lorraine during World War II (1939-1945). In the wake of the defeat in Normandy in the summer of 1944, Hitler planned to stymie the Allied advance by cutting off Patton's Third Army in the Lorraine with a great Panzer offensive. But Patton's aggressive tactics continued to thwart German plans and led to a series of violent armored battles. The battle-hardened Wehrmacht confronted the better-equipped and better-trained US Army. The Germans managed to re-establish a fragile defensive line but could not stop the US Army from establishing bridgeheads over the Moselle along Germany's western frontier.

Originally written on Fox Sports Detroit | Last updated 1/6/13
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan's explosive offense was supposed to stall once the young Wolverines hit Big Ten play. Thus far, they haven't even slowed down. Three days after putting up 94 points against Northwestern, the Wolverines blew out Iowa, 95-67. Michigan (15-0, 2-0 Big Ten) would have had its first 100-point conference game in 15 years had John Beilein not taken his starters out with almost four minutes to play. "I like Iowa's team, and I think they are going to be very good down the road," Beilein said. "But I like our team right now. We did a lot of good things today." Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, whose team had narrowly missed an upset of Indiana on Monday, was impressed by Michigan's teamwork. "They have so many offensive weapons that it is almost impossible to contain them for any period of time," McCaffery said. "That can also be a problem, though, because on a lot of teams, all of those weapons would be thinking about themselves. "Michigan's got guys who are going...

Whenever the July 4th holiday comes around, the words to this song always comes to my mind.
You're a Grand Old Flag by George M. Cohan
You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
So with that in mind I decided to make myself a Grand Old Flag to display in my home. And not just for the holidays but always.
- Styrofoam block (at least 10" x 10")
- 2" x 2" fabric squares (red, white and blue)
- glue
- pencil
- ribbon
Take your foam and cut it to the desired size that you want. For mine, I wanted 7 red stripes and 6 white stripes…..just like our flag. Measure out how wide each stripe needs to be to make sure they are even. I cut my foam to be 12" X 10".
Cut your fabric into 2" x 2" squares. You'll need less of the blue and more of the red and white fabric (the amount depends on how close you put the squares together, I had plenty with 5/8 of a yard of each)
Next, I placed my foam on a towel to help keep it from slipping.
Now it's time to glue the fabric to the foam. Wrap the fabric around the tip of your pencil, dip it in the glue and then stab it into the foam. Don't go to deep but enough that it will stick in place.
Continue doing that until the whole flag is complete.
To finish off the sides of the flag I decided to wrap ribbon around it. I glued it in place as I wrapped around it.
There you have it, a grand old flag that is happy and ready to be put on display!!

Hi wow that is too cool. Hi spirit12. She means put the glue in hole or place fabric on the end of the pencil and add glue, and stick it into the styrofoam. That way it won't pop out. Hope that helped you.

Korean smokers brace for price hike
The South Korean government wants to increase cigarette prices by 80 percent next year. Under the proposal, a KRW2,500 ($2.42) pack would cost KRW4,500 come Jan. 1. The government would also start adjusting cigarette prices to inflation rates, which would result in more frequent cigarette price rises in the future. Cigarette prices in Korea have been flat since 2004.
The government hopes its proposal will increase revenue and reduce smoking. At 44 percent in 2013, South Korea's male smoking rateis the highest among Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries. The government wants to reduce that figure to 29 percent by 2020.
The Ministry of Strategy and Finance expects the price hike to cause a 34 percent drop in overall sales of tobacco products and generate an additional KRW2.8 trillion in tax revenues.
Korea's cigarette prices are currently among the lowest in the world, while its tobacco tax rates are below the World Health Organization's recommendation of 70 percent.
Tobacco companies cautioned that the measure would encourage smuggling from countries such as China, where tobacco prices are much lower. It also warned of an increase in consumption of illegally produced, low-quality cigarettes, which may be more harmful to health than higher-quality varieties.

Amazing service!!!Reviewed on 3/28/2014 Renee M
KLM Artistry was simply amazing. Kim helped with everything and made sure that I looked amazing in every picture I took she even made sure my groom looked amazing and was perfect. Kim paid close attention to every single detail if my necklace was crooked she fixed it. I purchased the bridal package and it was worth every penny and so much more I don't know what I would have don't without Kim.
AH-MAZING!Reviewed on 4/19/2014 Kaitlin C
I found out about KLM Artistry through another bride who recommended that I use Kim for my wedding day hair and makeup! I had inquired about and spoke to several other hair/makeup artist in the area and found that KLM Artistry's pricing was very reasonable. Kim was also very responsive which is a huge plus in my books! I will be forever grateful of that recommendation because Kim was beyond amazing. When I went for my hair and makeup consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. Kim was extremely welcoming and personable and very attentive to my hair/makeup requests. She asked lots of questions to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. I could tell right off the bat that she truly cared about my ideas, suggestions and thoughts. She is very passionate about what she does and is a perfectionist (in a good way)! After my hair trial, Kim offered to re-do my hair to a more casual style because I was heading straight to a friend's birthday party. I took her up on her offer and she took down the beautiful hair style she had just spent an hour creating, re-curled my hair and put it in a cute pony tail. It was a very kind gesture and solidified my decision to go with KLM Artistry. Kim did not let me down on the day of my wedding. There were 9 of us getting our hair and makeup done (bride, mother of bride, and 7 bridesmaids) so she had a 2nd hair/makeup artist help out. My wedding started at 2 pm so it was an early morning. Kim and Jessie showed up on time (6 am) and set everything up ahead of schedule. One bridesmaid that was schedule with Jessie wanted a waterfall braid, however, Kim is the master of braids. Kim and Jessie were able to rearrange the schedule without missing a beat or getting behind on time. I originally wanted a low side bun but the day off, Kim suggested doing the same bun but in the back. I trusted Kim's opinion and did the low bun in the back. I absolutely LOVED it and thought it looked much better than when the bun was on the side. And the airbrush makeup... WOW! All I can say is that I have never felt more beautiful in my life. My mom and bridesmaids also all looked stunning! Kim was by my side for my solo photos making sure that my front loose curl was laying beautifully against my face, that my necklace wasn't crooked, that my veil was placed perfectly, that my lip color never faded...She basically made me look flawless for photos that I will cherish forever. There are no words to describe my appreciation for everything Kim and Jessie did. They played a big part in making my special day perfect. KLM Artistry was beyond amazing and exceeded all of my expectations. Working with Kim and Jessie was a great experience and if I could re-live the morning of my wedding, I would not change a thing!
KLM ArtistryReviewed on 4/01/2015
Kim at KLM was AMAZING. She met with my Daughter at 4 AM for her 8:00 Sunrise Wedding. She was prepared and very awake. She goes way beyond what is expected, as she makes sure you are fed and hydrated. She listens and does exactly what you ask. She offers her ideas and experience in a way that is so kind and loving. My Daughter looked radiant. Her hair and make-up lasted the entire day without a flaw. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.
Absolutely Amazing!!Reviewed on 1/16/2015 Mackenzie O
Kim went above and beyond during the wedding. Not only did she stay the entire time to constantly fix my hair and makeup, she made sure that my veil and dress looked perfect for every picture taken. She would even run around and get whatever I needed to make sure that I wasn't stressed out. Kim did an amazing job with my hair and makeup and exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend KLM to any bride!!!
GREAT Bridal Party Hair ServicesReviewed on 11/25/2014 Kristen G
I chose KLM Artistry to do formal hairstyles for myself and my three bridesmaids on my wedding day. I had two hair trials, complete with accessories prior to the big day and the final result was absolutely beautiful! I showed her a picture I found on Pinterest for inspiration, and from there she created the exact look for me! She is an extremely talented stylist, but what blew me away even more was her meticulous nature. Like a true artist, she takes a moment to step back and examine her work before proceeding to the next step. She also took pictures and drew a quick sketch of the hairstyle to make sure she could create the same look on my wedding day. Not only does she strive for perfection-she is also the sweetest person ever! Kim has such a kind, friendly personality! She is extremely easy to work with and flexible too! Everything went exactly as planned with Kim-working with her was an absolute pleasure! All of the girls loved their wedding day hair and I did too! You should definitely book with her :)
Amazing and professional!Reviewed on 11/24/2014 Adriana K
Kim was absolutely amazing and provided hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party for such a great price! She also did my hair and makeup trial the day of my engagement photos and they turned out just beautiful. Honestly people were saying I looked like a model but it's just because Kim is so good at her craft. I opted for airbrush and I'm glad I did! Although it took longer to take off, it stayed in place through tears and sweat. When we got back to the hotel after the wedding not one thing was out of place and my makeup (other than my lipstick which is always the first to go) was absolutely flawless. And as if that doesn't convince you, Kim herself is just a wonderful person and so easy to talk to and work with. You can tell immediately she is a kind and warm person. I one-hundred and ten percent recommend KLM!!!
So much more than hair/makeup artist!!Reviewed on 11/03/2014 Samantha S
Kim is, in a word, essential! She was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, and is so much more than a hair and make up artist. Kim is a big reason that my wedding went off without a hitch and why we had so much time for amazing photos. She is calming when you need her to be and energetic when she has to be! If you hire Kim (definitely get the elite bridal package!!) you will not regret it!! I had a few trials before the wedding so I was confident in her ability to make me and my bridesmaids look perfect on the wedding day. She was also ready with straws so I wouldn't ruin my lipstick, she sprayed down fly-aways, powdered down shine, and even fixed and fluffed my skirt/train during our photos! She was able to flawlessly cover my tattoo and she even did my husband's ponytail and lightly powdered his face, and helped my maid of honor bustle my dress before the reception. I cannot express how grateful I am for all of her help- I was actually really sad to see her go when I walked into the reception! She was amazing and worth so much more than she charges!!
Best vendor I hiredReviewed on 11/02/2014 Erin P
I hired Kim to do hair and makeup for myself, my 4 bridesmaids, and my mother. She and another makeup artist she brought in for the day did an absolutely wonderful job. Neither of them quit until we were all absolutely perfect. My mom was a knock-out! She was fun, energetic, and so professional. She has wonderful taste. I'm the kind of person who wears very little makeup, so having her use her skills and knowledge was really a lifesaver. I also hired Kim to follow us around for everything leading up to the reception, including her bustling my dress before the reception and doing hair and makeup touch-ups throughout the formal photos (to include a second hair style for the reception, without the veil). It was the best decision we made throughout the whole wedding planning process. She went above and beyond to not only make sure my hair and makeup and dress were perfect, but she also kept us all calm, helped out where help was needed, assisted the wedding venue managers when needed, assisted the photographers when needed, and took a lot of pressure off everyone involved. This woman really knows her stuff! I would tell anyone to hire her - not just someone like her, I would tell them to hire her specifically. She's awesome. And we all looked fabulous! Thank you so much, Kim!
Makeup SessionReviewed on 10/27/2014
After working with Kim of KLM Artistry to provide makeup and hair for my wedding, I requested a makeup application session with her. Imagine having an afternoon with a makeup expert who is familiar with all the top brands and who knows the colors that look best on you - that was my experience with Kim. She gave me a list of all the recommended cosmetics and colors before our get-together. When I arrived with my purchased items, she then taught me how to apply everything from foundation to artificial lashes! So much better than having a cosmetic counter make-over, because the colors and products were right for my skin and coloration AND without the pushy sales pitch! Having Kim share her expertise was invaluable!
Wonderful experienceReviewed on 10/22/2014 Nicole S
Extremely happy that I went with Kim for my wedding. She listened to my ideas and was open to any adjustments. I had acne for my engagement photos that she was able to fully cover up. For my wedding, she recreated everything from my trial that was 10 months earlier. When I decided I wanted to make small adjustments to my hair and makeup, she did everything to make sure it was just what I wanted. My mother and cousin also had their hair and makeup done and both were beyond happy with it. Completely worth it.
Wonderful!Reviewed on 10/21/2014 Lynne P
I found out about KLM Artistry after searching multiple wedding websites. All of them had great reviews and recommended Kim for my wedding day hair and makeup! I had looked into a few other hair/makeup artist in the area and found that Kim was very responsive, which was really important. I didn't want to be stressing about finding a hair/make up artist or wondering about their reliability. Plus, KLM Artistry's pricing was very reasonable. I am very happy I found Kim because she is beyond amazing. When I went for my hair and makeup consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. Kim was extremely welcoming and personable and very attentive to my hair/makeup requests. She asked lots of questions to to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. My experience with the consultation and her responsiveness to my emails made me sure of my decision to go with KLM Artistry!
Best Experience of My LifeReviewed on 10/20/2014 Kimberly S
I got married just over two weeks ago and just thinking about the day still brings tears of happiness to my eyes. Kim was a big part of that. I knew the day I met her for my consultation that I wanted to book her services. She was so caring, warm, and kind. She had amazing attention to detail that I never would have expected. Even after I thought she was done, she would take a step back, and tell me that there was a curl (just one) not doing what she wanted and then fixed it. There is only so much of your hairstyle you see, but I fully trusted that Kim was going to do an amazing job on my big day to ensure that every hair was in it's place. Kim's standards are incredibly high in regards to what she gives her clients. I feel truly blessed that I found her flyer in the pile I received at the Bridal Show. Kim was also very flexible with me. Two days before the wedding, my mom decided she would rather do her own hair instead of having Kim do. I emailed her to let her know so she didn't have to get up so early in the morning, but also to ensure her that I would still be paying for that service since I was canceling with such late notice. Kim sent me a new invoice and timeline for the day of without my mom's service on it. No charge for the cancellation. The day of the wedding, Kim came to our hotel room to get us all ready. There was only myself, two bridesmaids, and a flower girl. She was so calming and reassuring. She was as excited about the day as I was! She encouraged me to cry and not to worry about the makeup. It felt as though she was a part of the wedding party. After we were ready to go, she met us at Stonebridge Manor for the ceremony and reception. She arrived before us and had everything already set up in the bridal suite for touch ups before I even stepped in the room. She was quick to do finishing touches on all of our hair and make up. Up to this point, everything that Kim had done was what I expected. When we started with the pictures is when I was really amazed. I mentioned to Kim that I knew I would cry when I saw my groom during the first look. We had chosen to share traditional vows in front of our guests and personally written vows privately during our first look. Kim told me not to worry and even showed me how to hide a tissue in my bouquet. Kim was there all through pictures, holding my bouquet when needed, fixing my makeup and hair when needed, fixing my dress when needed, holding a drink and food for me, etc. I was simply amazed by the experience! I never expected anywhere near the level of service I got from Kim. I do not think I have enough words to describe how grateful I was/am for all she did that day. I have received many compliments about Kim from other members of my family and bridal party. Everyone was blown away. I plan on using her services every time we have family photos, Christmas card photos, etc. Thank you, Kim!
KLM Artistry is Wonderful!Reviewed on 10/10/2014 Meggie B
I had the pleasure of working with Kim from KLM Artistry for my hair and makeup trial/engagement pictures. She was very accommodating for my schedule, and she did an amazing job! She took her time to get my hair and makeup exactly the way I wanted it for the wedding trial. Then, she took her time to make my hair look amazing for the engagement photo session. I just LOVE how my hair and makeup look in my photographs! I would definitely trust her for your big day!
Extremely pleasant and accommodatingReviewed on 9/22/2014
I could not be more pleased with the professionalism and efficiency that KLM provided. When there seemed to be curves thrown into the scheduling and extra people needing help these were dealt with in a smooth and stress less manner. All of the bridesmaids hair looked beautiful and makeup flawless. The bride looked absolutely beautiful! What amazed me was the many difficult challenges of thick hair to frizzy and extremely pale skin to very dark tones. Every bridesmaid looked great! I don't know if this is even part of KLM service, but her suggestions for pictures was great. We did not use a professional photographer so her advice for special pictures is something I am very grateful for. Our experience was very positive and was so happy to have used KLM.
A Beautiful Face Wedding Day!Reviewed on 9/13/2014
I had some initial difficulty finding a makeup artist. Some were too expensive or didn't want to work around my wedding being that it was an early morning ceremony; but Kim was AMAZING! She was flexible with being available early, charged me a decent amount for her make up services, allowed me to come to her home for a reasonable $25.00 consultation, had a great personality, and really did an awesome job on my wedding day! She's someone that I was so happy to have at my wedding!
An A+ JobReviewed on 9/11/2014 Krystal K
Kim was such a pleasure to work with, both in the planning process and for the day of the wedding. I shared pictures of what I was thinking for myself and for my bridesmaids, and Kim helped me narrow down looks and gave me a timeline for the day so I could know what to expect. When it came to the actual wedding day, Kim was wonderful to work with. She was both flexible and pleasant when we needed to switch the order of my bridesmaids getting ready for various reasons, and the girls all looked gorgeous! We had a variety of skin types and hair types to deal with and Kim did a top notch job with every one of them. Not only was her makeup job flawless (Not a hint of my usual dark circles!) but it stayed pristine through outdoor photos in what was an unusually hot August. In fact, if my Groom hadn't been so enthusiastic with the kiss all of the makeup would have stayed until I took it off myself at the end of the evening! (Though Kim was quick to find me in a quiet moment with the lipstick to return it to it's former glory) TL;DR: Kim is a wonderful vendor and I highly recommend that you consider her for both hair and makeup for your wedding. She is skilled, professional, and has a wonderfully upbeat personality well suited for taking care of a bride on her special day.
Best choice!Reviewed on 9/11/2014
I was referred to KLM Artistry by my best friend, whose sister's wedding took place last year. She said Kim was great, and she was right! She was really friendly and listened to what I needed, asked me about the look I was trying to create and did a full trial session beforehand, with no pressure to use her services on the wedding day. I felt absolutely beautiful and my wedding pictures turned out great! My photographer didn't have to do much touching up on the photos. I would recommend KLM Artistry in a heartbeat. I went for the "perfect airbrush" look and I'm really glad that I did. Hair stayed in place all day and even though my wedding was in 114 F weather, hair and make up stayed in place until the reception was over. :)
KLM Artistry / KimReviewed on 8/04/2014 Andrea T
Kim did a great job with my wedding hair and makeup. She's easy to work with, friendly, and has good attention to detail. When my dress bustle broke, she took the initiative to fix it herself with some extra safety pins she had. My hair and makeup held up really well for the whole night, and I really "tested" it with nonstop dancing at the reception! Thanks Kim!
Great Hair & Makeup Gals!Reviewed on 3/28/2014 Amanda T
Kim & Jessie were outstanding! They provided excellent hair & make up services to the entire bridal party plus both moms! Everyone looked amazing. They took their time with each of us to insure that we each had the right look that we wanted. Very professional, would highly recommend them for any special event. Thank you!
My weddibgReviewed on 2/16/2014 Krista S
Kim is a awesome artist... I felt like a million bucks... She is a lot of fun
AMAZING service and hair/makeupReviewed on 12/12/2013 Heather K
I would give Kim 6 stars if I could. I signed up for her Elite package and she went far and beyond just hair and makeup in helping with our wedding day. Not only did myself and my bridesmaids looked amazing but she fixed a groomsman jacket when his button fell off during pictures, she ran down the wine for our ceremony that my bridesmaid forgot, etc. People kept referring to her as the photographers assistant because she was so instrumental in making things go smooth on our wedding day. She was very receptive to making changes so that everyone was 100% satisfied.
Best MakeUp ArtistReviewed on 9/03/2013 Lynn K
If you are looking for someone to do your make up..shop no more! Kim is by far the most personable, calming individual I have met. She will make you laugh, and feel at ease on your special day. Be warned she is a perfectionist......and on your wedding day....I don't think you would want anything less. Thank you Kim....keep smiling and making brides feel like a million on their special day!

Always a wonderful experience!Reviewed on 8/13/2013 Lexa C
I used KLM for my wedding two years ago and had such a wonderful experience!! Kim is so friendly and professional, but most importantly- skilled!! She just does such a wonderful job of making you look truly beautiful and highlighting your best features while still meeting your expectations. I love a more natural look, and she was able to make me look glamorous without looking like I had tons of makeup to make it happen! The tools she uses are incredible and she even gave me princess service by following me around on my wedding day during pictures and before the ceremony to freshen me up and make me look just beautiful and perfect! She was such a life saver! So now, as my brother in law was getting married, I highly recommended her to my future sister in law, and yet again, KLM came through exceeding everyone's expectations with her brilliant skills, top notch products, and exceptional attention to detail. Everyone loved how great of a job she did, and my now sister in law looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day!! If you are looking to have your makeup done for your wedding (or someone else's wedding) stop your search right now!! You just stumbled upon the BEST there is!!
Kim is MUST HAVE for every brideReviewed on 8/12/2013 Olja S
Kim is MUST HAVE for every bride. Her talent and attention to detail are amazing. She is flexible and fun to work with. Kim will stay with you during photo session and not just touch up your makeup but she will run around and help in every possible way. She made me and my daughter absolutely gorgeous. Kim is the best investment for your wedding. THANK YOU!!!

After his baked egg challenge, he celebrated with Burger King. Yay?
Washing it down with some milk.
Now he is able to eat foods with eggs baked in them (cookies, cake, breads, etc). He still can't have regular eggs or anything that has egg that hasn't been baked (French toast, pancakes, etc), but baked eggs is a step in that direction.
We have even scheduled his peanut challenge for mid-summer. If he passes that too, next school year could be very different. Yay!
The one weird thing about this is that he has had two reactions to baked egg: one to something at church and one to cinnamon rolls at school. Our theories as to why he had a reaction to those things abound. Maybe they were not baked as long or at as high of a temperature as the rest. Maybe the eggs are different (everything he has not had a reaction to has been baked with eggs from the same set of chickens). Hopefully, with further exposure, he will continue to build a tolerance to eggs and these problems will no longer pop up.

Finally got LeCure up.
Finally got LeCure up.
Everything is perfect, but there is a lot of room for improvement. --- Shunryu Suzuki-roshi
LeCure warming up, they said.
Ground ball to end the inning.
I love 1st pitch swinging (when it's the other team)
Guys, don't forget, when the site is down, we still have the FB page. It's something at least.
Always liked Leake, the little surfer dude. That's why i was so disappointed in his postseason effort last year. But boy, is he having some season.
It would be nice to score a legit run in this game.
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
Leake has allowed a total of one run in his last four starts, covering 27 innings.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
Would love to get a run here against the "shark tank"
(Referring to Jack Hannahan signing with a Korean team)
Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.
I like that pitching is back in baseball......but it's going to get to a point that these hitters do not care about striking out so much that it's going to be looking worse than 1968 ever was.
Frazier with a base hit up the middle to begin the inning.
malcontent (06-01-2013)
Well that rally was short lived
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
It's not just you, Red Raindog, I'm not on there either.
We haven't exactly been ripping the hide off the baseball recently. 5 hits tonight, 8 last night, 8 Thursday night, only 6 Wednesday night. It would be nice to get a few more runs here before our bullpen takes over.

The efficiency of the wind power conversions systems can be greatly improved using an appropriate control algorithm. In this work, a robust control for variable speed wind power generation that incorporates a doubly feed induction generator is described. The electrical systems incorporates a wound rotor induction machine with back-to-back three phase power converter bridges between its rotor and the grid. In the presented design it is applied the so called vector control theory. The proposed control scheme uses stator flux-oriented control for the rotor side converter bridge control and grid voltage vector control. The proposed robust control law is based on a sliding mode control theory, that, as it is well known, presents a good performance under system uncertainties. The stability analysis of the proposed controller under disturbances and parameter uncertainties is provided using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally simulated results show, on the one hand that the proposed controller provides high-performance dynamic characteristics, and on the other hand that this scheme is robust with respect to the uncertainties that usually appear in the real systems.

Travel's Best for 2014
Luxury hostels, Cuba, local brew pubs and the Jersey Shore – they're all reasons to pack your bags in 2014. See what hot destinations and travel trends are our favorites for 2014.
Best Wedding Destination -- Hawaii"A perennial favorite, we predict even more couples will say "I do" in Hawaii now that gay marriage has been legalized there. For picture-perfect nuptials tie the knot in Maui at the romantic Grand Wailea resort or on the increasingly popular, but still less-developed Kauai." – Sara Gilliam, Interactive Producer 960 1280
Best Overall Travel Trend -- TV and Movies-Inspired TravelFrom Breaking Bad to Hunger Games: Catching Fire, TV and movies in 2013 moved us – from Albuquerque, NM, to Hawaii. Tourism boards are finding this is a great way to market a destination – targeting set-jetting fans wanting to follow the steps of their favorite characters on screen. We're predicting films such as Grace of Monaco,The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and cult-favorite shows like Games of Thrones will inspire even more fans to travel in 2014." – Kathleen Rellihan, Interactive Producer 960 1280
Best Travel Gadget -- Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II"This Sony Cyber-shot point-and-shoot camera is the perfect substitute for the photog that does not like hauling around a bulky DSLR camera while on vacation. It's an update to 2013's model, which is still available, but offers some new features that are useful such as a tilt LCD screen and Wi-Fi so you can connect with your smartphone."– Arthur Hsu, Video Producer 960 1280
Best International Destination -- Trinidad, Cuba"For the first time since the 1960s, flights have resumed from Key West to Havana -- thanks to the eased travel restrictions enacted by the Obama administration in 2011. And more travelers are expected to flock to the island nation next year to help Trinidad, Cuba, celebrate its 500th anniversary. This city is also where the rhythmic foundation of salsa music started. We recommend visitors take a comfortable pair of dancing shoes to experience the series of fiestas and cultural events hosted by this hot travel destination." – Kwin Mosby, Managing Producer 960 1280
Best Domestic Location -- Jersey Shore"What travel spot are we ready to see make a comeback? In 2014, New Jersey celebrates 350 unforgettable years of history, milestones and memories. This is the time to visit the Jersey Shores' beautiful beaches and boardwalks, which first broke ground in the US on the Jersey Shore in 1870. Enjoy an array of year-long events including restaurant week, concerts and more to commemorate 350 years!" – Rani Robinson, Managing Producer 960 1280
Best World Event -- Winter Olympics, Sochi"For the first time in history, the Winter Olympic Games will be held in Russia. From February 7 to February 23, fans will flock to northern Eurasia to see some of the world's greatest athletes compete against one another in an attempt to earn respect for their home countries; They're final destination: Sochi. Don't miss out on another amazing sporting event taking place in 2014, the FIFA World Cup in Brazil from June 12 to July 13." – Ben Breslerman, Interactive Producer 960 1280
Best Tourist Attraction -- Northern Lights"Thought this past year was your best chance to see the northern lights? It's true, the lights whipped up a flurry of solar activity in 2013, but the best is yet to come, with show-stopping displays anticipated well into 2014. NASA is predicting the lights' solar activity will peak this winter, with aurora borealis displays stretching into the months to come, in places like Iceland's Lake Myvatn." -- Lisa Singh Interactive Producer 960 1280
Best Wellness Travel Trend – Yoga and Volunteer Vacations"In 2013, yoga vacations became increasingly popular to detox and decompress outside of yoga studios. And experts are forecasting that volunteer vacations will be on the rise in 2014. So what better way to recharge and support a good cause, than by combing a yoga and volunteer vacation? From volunteering in Kenya with the Africa Yoga Project to yoga and teaching in Kerala, India – there are more and more opportunities available for yoga-loving travelers who want to give back on a feel-good vacation. " -- Kathleen Rellihan, Interactive Producer 960 1280
Best Dining Trend – Local Brew Pubs"Forget eating local, start drinking local! Whether you're into IPAs, wheat brews or ambers – craft brewing is definitely on the rise, and so are local brew pubs. These establishments offer a unique experience: see how and where the beer is brewed, get out of your comfort zone by sampling a tasting flight, and pair the beer of your choice with the perfect dish. On a recent trip to Asheville, NC, the "beer city," I was surprised by the quality of the beer, the food, and even the atmosphere at Wicked Weed Brewing." – Allee Sangiolo, Interactive Producer 960 1280
Best Hotel Trend – Upscale Hostels"Forget all your preconceived notions about hostels. Budget travel gets a luxurious makeover with new upscale hostels like the MOXY in Berlin, Milan, London and Frankfurt, #bunk in Istanbul, and the Lisbon Lounge Hotel. Sharing space can be stylish with these hostels' chic rooms made for mingling and networking. Hostels are no longer just for the backpackers, but for the social and savvy budget-conscious traveler." –- Amanda DiGiondomenico, Interactive Producer 960 1280
You Might Also Like
Amalfi Coast, ItalyPerched over the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Amalfi Coast is a great winter getaway. You may not be lounging poolside in your bikini in the dead of winter, but the temperature along this rocky green coastline rarely drops below 50 degrees. For a dose of history, visit nearby Pompeii, and take the hydrofoil to Capri to see the sunlight stream into the fabled Blue Grotto. Oh, and don't leave without at least a few sips of limoncello! 960 1280
South Beach, MiamiHead to South Beach, FL, this winter to see the sexiest sunbathers in the US. Known as the second home to several celebrities, this Miami hood is also revered for its warm winter weather, pastel Art Deco architecture, exclusive nightclubs, hip boutique hotels and high-end shops. Don't leave without sampling the cuisine at popular restaurants like Joe's Stone Crab. Take an oceanfront bike ride to burn off the calories. Note: If you really want to let it all hang out, take a short trip to Haulover Beach to sunbathe au naturel. 960 1280
Kauai, HawaiiThere's a reason this waterfall was featured in the opening credits of the classic TV show Fantasy Island -- Wailua Falls is a fantasy come true. Venture off the beaten path for an up-close look at the 173-foot falls that Hawaiian men in times past would leap from to prove their manhood. Nowadays, the less adventurous of us can enjoy the falls from the safety of Maalo Road. 960 1280
Greek IslesWhat's not to love about the Greek isles? With 227 islands to choose from, you've got plenty of options. Santorini is best known as a romantic honeymoon destination with breathtaking sunsets, while Mykonos and Crete showcase some of the world's most beautiful beaches -- and of course, pulsating Greek nightlife! Can't decide which island is for you? Take an Aegean Sea cruise and see what each has to offer! 960 1280
Los AngelesThere is no place like La La Land, home to the nation's best weather and to Hollywood's biggest stars. Drive 10 to 15 minutes in any direction, and you'll more than likely be dipping your toes in the sand in no time. People watch on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, where you'll never know what sideshow you just may see, or venture down to Manhattan Beach to spot a celebrity. 960 1280
Dominican RepublicTaste a slice of paradise in the Dominican Republic, the small island in the Caribbean just west of Puerto Rico. The "DR," as it's often called, is filled with great people, food and culture. For a savory late-night snack, head to Barra Payan, an eatery that sells hot sandwiches 24 hours a day. Hungry for an ocean view? Swing by Boca Chica Beach, and enjoy the waves like the local children do each day. 960 1280
San DiegoSan Diego isn't called "America's Finest City" for nothing. Sure, you may have to bring your parka come winter, but you're not likely to see any white flurries in this coastal haven -- snow's only been seen here 5 times over the last 150 years. Hang 10 at San Diego's Black's Beach, and hightail it to Cabrillo National Momument to see gray whales migrate through the area beginning in mid- to late December. 960 1280
Cabo San Lucas, MexicoA short flight from LA, Los Cabos has become a winter playground for the rich and famous. Thirty miles of beautiful beaches, accompanied by watersports like scuba diving and snorkeling, as well as world-class resorts, golf courses and hip nightlife, are all reasons why Cabo San Lucas attracts an A-list crowd. 960 1280
Costa RicaIt's easy to see why Costa Rica has been named the happiest country on Earth. With its beautiful beaches, warm water, rainforests, exotic wildlife and laid-back culture -- who wouldn't be happy here? Costa Ricans have a saying, "Pura vida," which loosely translates as "Life is good." And in Costa Rica, it certainly is. 960 1280
Rio de JaneiroEscape to Brazil's hot spot, Rio de Janeiro, this winter. You'll be able to fully enjoy the beaches, luxurious hotels and all the sights without the summertime crowds sure to accompany next summer's FIFA Confederations Cup. Check out the tall and tanned and young and lovely girls and guys from Ipanema, stay at the Copacabana and experience Christ the Redeemer -- one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. 960 1280
Hot Winter Vacations 10 Photos
Southern Asia Trek"A budgetista when it comes to travel, I can't even imagine how far a budget of $10,000 would take me! Instead of going the luxe route, I'd use this ample amount of cash to fund a long trip … perhaps a grand tour of less-than-easy places to get to in southern Asia. I'd love to see the happiest people on in Earth in Bhutan, tour the temples in Nepal, go tea-house trekking in Sri Lanka … and just keep on travelin' until the money runs out." -- Kathleen, Interactive Producer
First-Class Flight to Dubai"Fly first-class to Dubai! $10,000 will get you a round-trip first-class ticket from New York to Dubai. Just remember: When traveling to a city that uses Lamborghinis for police cars, it's important to arrive in style." -- Josh, Online Production Manager 960 1280
Golf at St. Andrews Links"With $10,000, I would take 3 of my best friends to Scotland for the ultimate golf adventure. After arriving in the "Home of Golf," we'd hit St. Andrews Links for not 1, but 2 incredibly tough rounds of golf. On day 1, we'd play the famed "Old Course," then on day 2, see how it compares to St. Andrew's new course (although I should mention, the "New Course" was designed in 1894 by Old Tom Morris)." -- Ben, Interactive Producer 960 1280
Whirlwind Tour Around the World"As a mileage runner and rock climber, I'd fly around the world -- first stops in Paris and Cape Town for bouldering, in Fontainebleau and Rocklands respectively. Then continue on to Tokyo for some sashimi, with a final stop in Buenos Aires, just because I've never been there. Besides the fun, this trip would earn me 47K elite qualifying miles, which will help me maintain my Delta elite flyer status." -- Arthur, Video Project Manager 960 1280
Amazing Amalfi Coast Getaway"I would probably make my $10,000 last as long as possible and save most of it. However, I'd throw some caution to the wind and splurge a little on a fun getaway to Italy's Amalfi Coast or Spain to explore the Canary Islands, Ibiza, Costa del Sol and Seville." -- Kwin, Managing Producer 960 1280
Great Greek Adventure"I'd take that $10,000 and hop on the next flight to Greece, where I'd charter a yacht and sail the Aegean. I'm not talking a big, hulking cruise ship with subpar onboard meals and a set itinerary -- my Greek adventure would include a gorgeous sailboat and a personal skipper who'd chart an off-the-beaten-path course. I'd spend my days admiring the crystal-clear waters, exploring ancient ruins and dining on fresh seafood. Oh, and drinking plenty of ouzo." -- Allee, Interactive Producer 960 1280
Scotland Road Trip"I'm currently planning a spring trip to Scotland, so $10,000 would come in handy! I'd rent a car and explore the arts-and-culture hub of Glasgow, historic Edinburgh and then head north to Inverness, castle trail and the Highlands. Or, I'd stay in a castle in Stirling, and then charter a boat to see the Inner and Outer Hebrides, like Skye (beautiful craggy mountains) and Islay (famous for malt whisky distillation). Actually, I could do it ALL for $10,000, and still have change to spare." -- Liz, Photo Editor 960 1280
Tuscany Bike Tour"I'd spend my $10,000 on la dolce vita! I'd book the first flight to Firenze, where I'd indulge in Italian food, culture and fashion. I would attend Cucina con Vista, where I'd attempt to learn how to cook from chef Elena Mattei, and then peddling it off on a Backroads bike tour of Tuscany, drinking in the Renaissance architecture, scenic olive orchards -- and private wine tastings." -- Sara, Interactive Producer 960 1280
Italy's Wine Country"I use the $10,000 to travel through Italy's wine country. I would sip my way through the vineyards in Tuscany and eat authentic Italian food until my heart's content. The money would also give me the opportunity to see where some of my family originated from and experience Italian culture at its best." -- Kristen, Photo Editor 960 1280
Jao Camp, Okavango Delta, Botswana"With $10,000, I would take my husband home. Ha! Seriously, he was born in Uganda and he hasn't been back since he was 2 years old. We'd travel around the country, and also visit Rwanda (where his mother was born) and Botswana, where we'd experience the ultimate sleepover at Jao Camp in the Okavango Delta." -- Rani, Managing Producer 960 1280
