It's Week 4 of our #EXCLUSIVE Excerpts from #ShiftersHallowsEve and this week we're indulging in a little Hallowed Destiny by Candace Blevins…
Chapter One
I parked at a diner just outside the Chickamauga Battlefield and pulled my bicycle out of the back of my SUV. I made sure my phone was in one pocket, pepper spray in another, and felt my exercise bra to be sure my dad's two-hundred-dollar flashlight was still secure. I hadn't told him I was borrowing it because I didn't want to answer all the questions about why I needed it. As far as my family was concerned, I was spending the night with a friend and staying in where it was safe.
A year ago tonight — Halloween — I'd been abducted by sick demon worshipers, and would've been killed by them as a human sacrifice had I not found a way to escape. They carved symbols into my flesh, and I'd forever have to wear bangs to hide the scars on my forehead.
On my eighteenth birthday two weeks ago, I'd had the first part of an extensive tattoo started on my chest. I planned to cover the horrible, evil scars with something beautiful, but it'd take a while.
Dread pooled in my stomach as I pedaled my way toward the spot I'd been staked to the ground. They'd stripped me naked and spread me out so it was impossible to hide any part of myself from them. They apparently wanted a virgin to kill in offering to whatever sick deity they worship.
To keep it from happening again, I'd planned to have sex with the first person who came along afterwards, but it hadn't worked out. The asshole I'd been dating — the one who'd claimed to be a good Christian boy — broke up with me two days later because he was afraid the marks on my skin made me evil.
Much to my parents' chagrin, I'd turned my back on the church and started dating the star quarterback at the local high school — with every intention of giving myself to him at the first opportunity. He lived two doors down so it hadn't been too hard to sneak and see him when I told them I was going for a bike ride.
Unfortunately, I'd freaked and started crying when he got my panties off, and he'd told me I was too high maintenance.
So a year later I was still a damned virgin, and may end up staying that way. Those fuckers had messed me up in the head, and when the quarterback had undressed me, the only thoughts in my head were how I'd felt when my kidnappers had stripped me and staked me spread eagle on the ground.
My pastor's wife told me I needed to find a way to put this behind me — to close the door on it and look forward. I wasn't sure how to do that but figured going back to the scene of the crime on Halloween night was a good start. I'd researched the area on Google Earth and found what I hoped was the best spot to ride my bike into the woods. I looked all around to be sure no cars were near, and flicked my bike's headlight off as I veered into the pitch dark of the forest.
I stopped a few yards in because I couldn't see anything, and I planted my feet on either side of my bike and waited for my eyes to adjust to the dark. My heart raced and my pulse thundered in my ears, but I assured myself no one else could hear it.
Several long minutes later, I thought I might be able to pick out the trees, but not well enough to walk, much less ride. I propped my bike on a tree with a sigh, and turned the flashlight onto the lowest setting. I hadn't planned to use it at all this close to the road, but it didn't look like I had a choice.
Each step forward took every bit of willpower I possessed. I wanted to turn and run back to the road, but I just knew I'd never move past this unless I could face my fears. If I could walk into the woods on Halloween and stand in the spot I'd fought my abductors, perhaps I'd be brave enough to have sex with someone and finally lose my pesky virginity.
I counted fifty steps before I turned the flashlight a little brighter, and I pulled my phone from my pocket and re-engaged the directions to the GPS coordinates I'd chosen. I hoped the location I'd found on the map would get me close enough so I'd be able to find the spot once I was nearby.
I had crazy dreams about it. It often felt more like I'd been rescued, but I also kind of vaguely remembered getting an arm free and grabbing the knife from one of the men and then going to town on my kidnappers as I cut myself free. But then there was the dream where a woman levitated me up to sit on a tree branch while monsters fought monsters. Were there good monsters? Some of them looked half-human and half-animal, truly grotesque… and yet in my dreams they fought the evil men who'd abducted me.
I had less than a quarter mile to walk, but it felt like I walked miles in the dark — carefully placing each foot and listening for sounds of anything larger than a possum.
When I finally arrived at the GPS spot, I turned my dad's flashlight to full strength — all twenty-eight hundred lumens.
And was shocked to see a white lion sitting fifty yards away.
I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. My feet were cemented to the ground as the lion looked down and away as the too-bright light must've hurt his eyes.
Two seconds later he turned and gracefully leapt through the air, and within seconds he'd run off to the side and out of the beam. I turned the light in every direction but couldn't find him again. Had I hallucinated him? Lions are not indigenous to Tennessee.

Event Details
Applications now open for "From Fire to Art: Firefighter Artists"
Thursday , February 18th
Firefighters invited to exhibit their artwork at the Denver Firefighters Museum
DENVER, CO - February 18, 2016 – The Denver Firefighters Museum will open its second exhibit of 2016, "From Fire to Art: Firefighter Artists", on April 4, 2016. This exhibit will showcase the work of active duty and retired firefighters who are also accomplished. This show follows a successful 2015 exhibit that displayed artworks from Denver firefighters. The museum is now accepting applications from firefighters in all departments, and is not restricted to Denver.
"From Fire to Art" was created specifically to showcase the work of firefighters. While well known for their bravery and everyday community service, firefighters are less recognized for their other accomplishments. Current fire department scheduling typically gives firefighters one twenty-four hour shift, followed by forty-eight hours off. This gives firefighters time for a wide variety of things, including the chance to focus on their fine art skills.
Artists in the 2015 show included Heather Larson (retired), Denver's first female firefighter; Harold Hughes (active), a firefighter based at Denver International Airport, and a photographer; and Gary Reed (retired), a sculptor who works with welded metal to create striking three-dimensional art. The show also included work by Charles Brown, Noah Webb, Karl Larsen, David Maes, and Dennis Horton.
"From Fire to Art: Firefighter Artists" will run April 4th through June 2nd. Proceeds from the sale of artworks will directly benefit the artists, with a small commission to go to the museum. Any firefighters interested in submitting their artwork by March 28, 2016 may contact Sarah Crocker, Exhibits Coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 303-825-0608. An online signup form is also available through the museum website, linked here.

Beyond compliance: aligning disability issues with learning, teaching and assessment approaches Part of the HEA disability seminar series Wednesday 1 st October 2008
Aims of the seminar To focus on the key challenges –As identified by delegates and presenters To have short, sharp inputs to stimulate discussions To identify practical solutions to the identified challenges
Group Exercise Either: Think of an example in your own Institution (department, faculty, etc.) which has positively contributed to an enhanced alignment –What motivated this change? –What were the key challenges? –How were they overcome? Or: Think through an example which wasnt (or is not yet) positive – what are the ongoing challenges?
The Big issues Models of delivery: central Vs devolved model Integration of data, and attendant analysis Disability Vs impairment specific approaches User - led developments Institution - wide ownership and accountability Adapting and / or adopting existing good practice
Teaching & Assessment Our classrooms are microcosms of the diverse society in which we live. The aim of inclusive teaching is not to dilute standards or change content, but to adopt a teaching style that accommodates a diversity of abilities, cultural backgrounds, and learning styles and needs. This approach acknowledges that students with disability may learn differently, but are not less academically capable. Inclusive teaching recognises the social context of disability and encourages a flexible approach that anticipates diversity and uses it in the curriculum. Examples of inclusive teaching include:social context of disability Providing reading lists before classes start Positioning yourself where you can be seen by everyone Using a variety of teaching methods Making lecture notes available before lectures. Clearly identifying key ideas in lectures and assignments Drawing on the students own experiences Being flexible with assessment methods Setting clear expectations How can I teach in a way that benefits all students? How do I determine whether any students have particular learning needs? How much do I need to know about the student's impairment? How can I determine what adjustments are reasonable? What if I believe a student will not be able to be registered or employed?
Leeds Met Initiatives Disability Strategic Group - interrogation of statistics Disability Research Conference Disability issues central in annual staff development festival Strong disability function Senior Management buy in

Could this be the beginning of the end for JVZoo?Remember when Warrior Plus had the market share on WSO payment buttons, and then they got complacent and JVZoo was able to storm in with the features sellers wanted, fairer pricing, and so on? And so now JVZoo has market share of the IM market place. But might it be getting complacent now? Zaxaa, the new kid on the block has been quietly adding killer features, features that sellers, affiliates and partners REALLY want. And while the JVZoo guys might be the rock stars who get Vanilla Ice (yeah that really famous dude from err the 80's?) it really won't take much for Zaxaa to take over the market. Here are a few reasons why Zaxaa could take over… 1) JVZoo adds YOUR customers to THEIR mailing list and sends them follow up and promotional emails with their own affiliate link… Zaxaa doesn't. 2) Zaxaa handles VAT/Sales Tax properly. If you are based anywhere in the EU this is really important. Sure you might not have hit the VAT threshold yet, but when you do you need to know you can handle the collection of VAT with all the crazy EU rules. JVZoo has a tick box for VAT but it doesn't do anything! It just tells people the sale includes VAT. This means if you run a product on 100% (or even 80%) commissions and are VAT registered you LOSE MONEY ON EVERY SALE. Because the commissions are paid on the total amound and you still have to hand 20% over to the tax man. Believe me, I lost a lot of money because I believed ticking the box marked "collect EU VAT" on JVZoo would actually… errr collect the VAT?! 3) Zaxaa has an automatic way of adding affiliates to your JV mailing list with any of the main autoresponder providers. 4) Zaxaa handles JV partnerships properly. Example: You partner up with John for the Stamp Collecting product, on a 50-50 profit sharing basis. John is the one who sets up the product inside Zaxaa for sale (i.e. John is the seller). John adds you as a partner using our Partnership feature.
With JVZoo only the seller (John) can see how well the product is selling (i.e. product stats). Zaxaa has a way to let the partner see everything John sees for this partnership product, as though you're the seller. 5) Zaxaa is quicker, easier and more intuitive to set up and when you do get stuck their support reacts quickly. Compared to JVZoo who seem to take ages to reply to tickets and most sellers know that if you want a response you have to shout on their Facebook page so that one of the Brians gets on it. 6) JVZoo's features sometimes just don't work. For example I was made a "premium affiliate" which means if I ask to promote a product and the seller hasn't turned off the premium feature I should get auto approved. But I don't, I never have and support always fob me off with "that seller must have it turned off". They don't – I've checked! The bottom line is I still like JVZoo. It still has the IM market share as a platform. But quietly in the background Zaxaa is getting better and better and putting in the features that real businesses need and want. Zaxaa already has a marketplace, it's just hard to navigate, but they'll get there with it and when they do… we could see sellers start to defect and when the JV boards start filling up with people selling through "Zaxaa", more affiliates will catch on and begin scanning their marketplace for stuff to sell and if that happens… JVZoo could go the way of Warrior Plus. Remember Warrior Plus? No not many do these days!

during the month of July, an auto manufacturer gives its production employees a vacation period so it can tool up for the new model run. In surveying a simple random sample of 200 production workers, the personnel director finds that 38% of them plan to vacation out of state for at least one week during this period. Is this a point estimate or an interval estimate? Explain
In statistics, interval estimation is the use of sample data to calculate an interval of possible (or probable) values of an unknown population parameter, in contrast to point estimation, which is a single number.
This should be helpful. Thanks for asking.

The present invention relates to wiring systems for desks or the like. Wiring is often brought into a desk from beneath, is run through some sort of raceway underneath the desk or within the desk, and is then fed out through an access opening generally at the top of the side of the desk and from thence out onto the desk top. In this way, wiring for telephones, dictating machines and other office equipment does not have to hang exposed down the sides of the desk.
The problem of the access openings at the top of the sides of the desk being unsightly and sloppy was solved at least in many applications by a wiring access means disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,787,605 to Robert C. VanGessel and Dirk J. VanKuik, issued on Jan. 22, 1974 and assigned to Steelcase Inc. In that invention, an insert having a plurality of sides with different sized openings on each side could be reoriented within an opening at the top edge of the desk side panel so as to provide a different sized opening for different sized wires coming through the access opening. The system was particularly useful on wood desks where the old sliding door systems of metal desk is not useable.
One problem still remaining with that system is that the access opening into which the wiring insert is fitted is still quite small when it comes to feeding bulky wires through, particularly if they have large connectors on the end thereof as telephone and dictating machine wiring often do. This problem could obviously be corrected by making the wiring insert larger. Unfortunately, the insert itself begins to get unsightly in appearance when one pursues this solution. Yet another obvious solution is to structure the desk end panel so that it is removable. In this way, the wiring can first be located within the desk and set so that it will pass out onto the top of the desk, and then the end panel can be laid over the wiring with the access opening located to receive the wiring. The wiring insert is then placed in the access opening to further tighten the aperture through which the wiring passes.
While these solutions are helpful, they leave the problem unsolved when the desk has an end panel which can not be removed. Further, these solutions create another problem for the user in the field who wants to move his wiring from the left side of the desk to the right side of the desk or vice versa. He would have to change both end panels around in order to accomplish this goal. For most users, such a reconstruction of the desk constitutes major surgery.
In the present invention, these problems are solved by providing a desk, table or the like with an edge trim piece releasably secured generally at the juncture of the top and side panels of the desk and having a relatively small aperture therethrough. When the edge trim piece is removed, a significantly larger opening is exposed which extends through either the top or side panel or both and which is sufficiently large than even bulky wiring can readily be threaded therethrough. Once the wiring has been so threaded, the edge trim piece is resecured to the desk with the wiring passing through the relatively smaller access opening in the edge trim piece.
Preferably, the attractiveness of the system is further enhanced by providing a removable insert within the access opening in the edge trim piece. This insert has multiple sides with different sized apertures therein and can be reoriented within the access opening to further tailor the size of the wiring aperture to the diameter of the wire or wires passing through the aperture.
These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be more fully understood and appreciated by reference to the written specification and appended drawings.
FIG. 1 disclosed a fragmentary perspective view of the upper end edge of a desk in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view like FIG. 1 but with the edge trim piece having been removed and flipped over as indicated by the arrows;
FIG. 3 is an exploded, fragmentary view of the access opening in the edge trim piece and of the insert which fits into the access opening;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along plane IV--IV of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the overall desk showing one edge trim piece with an access opening therethrough and the edge trim piece without such an access opening.
In the preferred embodiment, the desk 1 (FIGS. 1 and 5) includes an edge trim piece 40 releasably joined thereto along the adjacent edges of the desk top 10 and the desk side panel 20. As shown, side panel 20 is located at one end of desk 1 and hence might be referred to as an end panel even though the end constitutes a side. Trim piece 40 can be removed exposing a large access opening 14 and 24 extending through end panel 20 and top 10 (FIGS. 2 and 4) through which wiring, especially with bulky connectors, can readily be threaded. A wiring insert 70 can then be oriented and secured within a small access opening 44, held in place by an insert retainer 60, with an appropriate wire receiving aperture oriented upwardly. Then, trim piece 40 is resecured in place by means of the mating recessed clips 50 and studs 30, such that once secured, wiring 2 passes from the interior of the desk, up through large access opening 14 and 24 and through a smaller aperture within the insert 70 located in smaller access opening 44 in edge trim piece 40. (FIGS. 4 and 5).
When installed, trim piece 40 is located with one of its side surfaces abutting the end edge 11 of desk top 10 and with an adjacent side abutting the top edge 21 of desk end panel 20 (see FIG. 2). For aesthetic purposes, the end edge 11 of desk top 10 is defined by a thin trim strip and similarly, the top edge 21 of desk end panel 20 is defined by a thin trim strip (FIG. 4). However, these could just as well be the raw exposed edges of the desk top 10 and desk end panel 20 respectively.
The desk top 10 and end panel 20 can be made of any conventional desk construction material. The invention is particularly useful in wood desks, however, and accordingly in the preferred embodiment, top 10 and end panel 20 are made of wood.
Top 10 includes an enlarged access opening 14 extending from end edge 11 through to the interior surface 13 (FIG. 4) of top 10. It will be noted that access opening does not extend through the exterior surface of top 10, thus insuring no portion of the opening is visible when trim 40 is in place.
Desk end panel 21 includes an enlarged aperture 24 extending from the upper edge 21 thereof through the inside surface 23 thereof (FIG. 4). It will be noted that aperture 24 does not extend through the exterior surface 22 of end panel 20. This insures that no portion of access aperture 24 will be visible when trim strip 40 is in place.
It is important that the combined access opening 24 and 14 be sufficiently large that large bundles of wiring can be fed therethrough easily. The entire access opening could be located completely in top 10 or in the broadest aspects of the invention, completely in end panel 20. However in the preferred embodiment, at least a portion of the access opening as a whole must be located in top 10 in order to be able to pass wiring through an open end of insert 70, as described below.
Threaded, swaged or otherwise inserted into the end edge 11 of desk top 10 are a plurality of studs 30 (FIG. 2). Each stud 30 has an enlarged head 31. Studs 30 form one half of a releasable securing system which facilitates securing trim piece 40 in place.
The other half of the releasable securing system comprises slotted clips 50 located within recesses 43 along the inside face 41 of trim piece 40 (FIG. 2). The slot within each of the clips 50 is open at one end so that the clips 50 can be slid over the heads 31 of studs 30 to thereby secure end trim piece 40 in place. Such a clip and stud arrangement is known and one example of such a system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,491,820 to E. J. Ostling, issued Jan. 27, 1970 and entitled FLEXIBLE JOINT STRUCTURE AND CLIPS THEREFOR. Alternative releasable securing means can be utilized to secure trim piece 40 in place, but it is preferable that some type of snap or sliding fit be employed so that the releasably securing fasteners can be completely hidden from view when edge trim piece 40 is in position.
Edge trim piece 40 itself is made of a material which is decoratively compatible with top 10 and end panel 20. In the preferred embodiment, this material is wood. A relatively small access opening 44 extends from the top surface 45 of edge trim piece 40 through to the bottom surface 42 thereof (See FIGS. 2 and 3). Also, access opening 44 opens outwardly through the inside face 41 of edge trim piece 40. The small access opening 44 is just sufficiently large to accommodate insert 70, and insert 70 has at least one aperture which is just sufficiently large to accommodate the largest anticipated bundle of wiring which might be passed through from the interior of the desk up to the desk top 10.
Insert 70 has completely open spaced ends 71 (FIG. 3). These ends are framed by one completely closed side 72 which is joined to a second side 73 having a small generally U-shaped aperture 76 therein. Side 73 is joined to side 74 which has a somewhat larger but still medium sized opening 77 therethrough. Side 74 is in turn joined to side 75 which further joins to completely close wall 72 and which itself includes the largest aperture 78. These four sides have equal dimensions so that any one of them may be turned up in small access opening 44. Preferably, insert 70 is made of metal and is chrome plated or otherwise polished so that it is attractive to view.
Insert 70 is secured in place within small access opening 44 by means of an insert retainer 60. Insert retainer 60 includes a back wall 61 having a pair of tabs 62 projecting forwardly from each side edge thereof. Tabs 62 are spaced slightly from the side walls of access opening 44 so that any of the two opposing walls of insert 70 fit snugly between the outside surfaces of tabs 62 and the inside surface of the sidewalls of access opening 44. Thus, tabs 62 are slidable in cross section FIG. 4. Insert 60 is preferably formed of metal and screws 62 are used to fasten the back wall 61 against the back wall of access opening 44.
In use, edge trim piece 40 is removed from the desk and wiring is fed through large access opening 14 and 24. Once the feeding operation has been completed, insert 70 is oriented within access opening 44 with one of its openings 76, 77 or 78 oriented upwardly. The particular opening selected would depend on the size of the bundle of wires extending through access opening 24. Obviously, the larger bundles would be accommodated by aperture 78, the smallest bundles by aperture 76 and the medium sized bundles by aperture 77. In this regard, all of the walls 72, 73, 74 and 75 of insert 70 are the same size so that insert 70 can be oriented with any of them facing upwardly. If no wiring were passing through large access opening 14 and 24, then the completely closed wall 72 of insert 70 would be oriented upwardly.
Once insert 70 is properly oriented within small access opening 44, the entire edge trim piece 40 is positioned along the upper, end edge of the desk with its inside face 41 facing the end edge 11 of top 10 and with its bottom face 42 facing downwardly against the top edge 21 of desk end panel 20. Studs 31 extend into recesses 43 in position at the open end of the slot within clips 50. Edge trim piece 40 is then slid sidewardly so that clips 50 lock over the heads 31 of studs 30. The wiring 2 now extends from the interior of desk 1 through large access opening 14 and 24, through the open end 71 of insert 70, and through an appropriate aperture within insert 70.
It will be noted that it is necessary that, after trim 40 and insert 70 are in place, there be at least some opening, such as 14, through top 10. This allows wiring to feed through the open end 71 of insert 70. Otherwise, the passage of wiring might be blocked by closed wall 72; or passage of a large wire through aperture 78 of wall 75 might be blocked by the too narrow aperture 76 in wall 73.
Preferably, each desk is provided with one edge trim piece 40 as described above and with another edge trim piece 40A which is identical except that it does not include any access opening 44 and does not include any provision for an insert 70. Thus, one end of the desk has no provision for passing wiring. However, either end can readily be changed by simply exchanging edge trim piece 40 with edge trim piece 40A.
Of course, it is understood that the above is merely a preferred embodiment and that various changes and alterations can be made without departing from the spirit and broader aspects of the invention.

Update 1: October 6, 2015
It's time to give away a one-of-a-kind full of information ebook from the team who brought us Inbox Blueprint. In this FREE EBOOK, Anik is giving away the 7 simple steps on how to turn your passion and hobby into a faucet of income. Grab the said guidebook by clicking the image below.
The Latest Uproar in Internet Marketing
These past few days, there has been a huge uproar in all four sides of the Internet. Circling around huge forums and online communities is this intriguing question, "what the heck is Publish Academy?"
So I thought I'd write up a Publish Academy review about this which will be the same answer that I will share to my friends, and hopefully it'll help you as well.
In a nutshell, PA is an online marketing course where Anik explains his 'rags to riches' story (which is honestly very motivating to read) and also explains a solid 7 step business model you can follow to make money online by making digital products based around your hobbies, passions, and interests.
It's really a great course that goes into great detail about researching your market, developing a fantastic product that people will be happy to buy, and then it thoroughly explains how to write a good sales page and find visitors who will be interested in your new product.
In this course, he explains everything you could ever need to know about setting up a successful online business, so once you've finished his program, you'll be ready to build your business from scratch. It's really a great course, and I might be the first one in line to purchase this product by Anik.
Why Purchase Anik Singal's Publish Academy
As a keen writer, I've always wanted to learn how I could turn my passion into an online business that could support my family. But with so much competition online, it's not been an easy task – and it's often difficult to make any real profit.
However, this is all about to change now I've seen this training. I recently downloaded the free book that he's been giving away, and I couldn't be more thrilled if I tried! Inside the guide, Anik details a fantastic, step by step system for setting up a business that helps you leverage your true passions in life.
The guide teaches you everything you need to know if you're going to create a high-quality digital 'information product', which teaches other people your skills and passions – so if you have a particular hobby that you love, this is the perfect course for you.
But more than teaching you how to make a product, Anik also shows you how to study your niche, how to get customers, and how to craft a winning sales page that will convert visitors into loyal customers. He really leaves no stone unturned, so if you follow his advice and put in the effort – then you'll have a successful business in no time.
Since downloading this said guide, I've decided to dedicate all my spare time to following his method. Who knows how successful I'll be in a year from now if I just stick to this plan?
Turning Your Passions Into A Successful Online Business
If you want to run a successful online business, you need to be truly passionate about what you are doing. Sure, the money is a nice part of becoming a popular business owner. But if you are not truly interested in the work you're doing, you are likely to lose interest in it. Additionally, you are not likely to put forth your best effort. When you begin to plan out your online business, choose something you are truly passionate about. This is the first major step you need to make.
Once you've chosen something you are passionate about, you need to come up with a solid business strategy. Dedicate your time and efforts to coming up with a step by step plan for success, and revise it until you feel 100% confident about it. Use all of the available tools and resources available to you. There are tons of training courses, seminars, and blogs that can give you an abundance of great information.
Creating a successful business is so much easier when you truly care about your mission. When you put forth your best effort because of your passion, this will show in the products or services you provide.
Make Money Online From Doing Things You Love To Do
One of my biggest dreams in life has always been to make money online from doing things I love to do, and I suspect I'm not the only one who feels this way. The old saying of 'do the work you love, and you'll never work another day of your life' has always appealed to me – but it's so hard to make money from your passions!
However, the internet has certainly made this goal much easier to achieve – especially if you enjoy writing. For example, some of my friends like to write informational e-books which explain how to overcome various problems you might have around the house – I support it's a bit like writing a 'DIY guide'.
If you have any useful experience or specific knowledge of a subject, then a great way to make money from your passion is to write a book about it and sell it online.
Also, if you don't mind making video lessons, then you can always teach your passions to other people using video sharing websites like YouTube. Many people have quickly become 'internet celebrities' thanks to YouTube – and often it involves little more than showing people how to play guitar or simply creating a video game walk-through.
When you can share your passions in a genuine way, it often has an infectious quality, and people love to learn more. If you can tap into your true passions in life, then I really think the internet makes it possible to make money from doing the things you love to do.
How I Make Money Online From My Hobbies
If you've ever wanted to make money from a hobby, then there's never been a better time to do it. Thanks to the internet, it's easier than ever to share your hobby with others and make a profit, too.
Ever since I developed my passion for art, I've always hoped there would be a way to share my passion and earn some money. I've never been able to share my work in local galleries, but thanks to the internet, I can share my art on a variety of websites, and I can even teach lessons on YouTube – which often means I earn some money from the YouTube advertising which appears on my videos.
The great thing is, I'm not the only one who's doing this – and practically anyone could do it! The only real secret is that you need to pick something you have a true passion for. When you're truly passionate about your hobby, then it's natural for other people to become interested, too.
Then one of the best ways to earn money from your hobby is to teach it to other people. So whether you enjoy art, playing guitar, or playing video games – you can always share your knowledge and experience with others – and they'll be happy to pay!
My Favorite Way To Make Online Income From My Hobby
If you want to make online money from your hobby, then you've made a great decision. Ever since I set myself the goal of earning money online, I've always relied on my hobbies to give me something to share with other people. Regardless of whether you enjoy blogging, writing books, playing guitar, or even gardening – there's always going to be thousands of other people who share your hobby, and many people love to pay to learn more about it.
One of the best ways to make money from your hobby is to set up a YouTube channel. This was the first thing I did when I started to run an online business, and while my channel is still quite small, I've already earned some extra 'pocket money' – all just from making short videos where I discuss my hobby and give useful tips for improving.
My channel on Youtube is all about gardening, and I especially like to share my passion for bonsai trees. I have already had hundreds of people 'like' my videos, and it's a very rewarding feeling. But the best part is that anyone can set up a video channel and share their hobby while making a little extra cash on the side!

advantage. It is, in a way. However, it is not always enough to make it
more superior, at present, to its closed source equivalents. (at least not

solution. Of course, this is a generalization. Some proprietary vendors
listen to their customers needs, fix bug quickly, release often, and also
implement new features that these customers wish for. OTOH, some open
source developers are very anti-pathic, do nothing with bug reports, and
are reluctant to implementing new features in their software on their
user's request. It even happened to me once that a patch I sent to a
software which added some essential features, was rejected on the spot by
its developer and maintainer. (and I'm sure it did not cause it to be much
slower or whatever).
I don't know if the situation is better among open source developers or
among proprietary vendors. But of course, in open source you can always
fork the code, which is not possible in proprietary software.

the intention for them is to last forever, or at least until the
underlying technologies below them are replaced by something completely
different. Some software in the UNIX world is already a few decades old,
and is still actively used a lot.

Reporting Materiality - NGERS 2014
Materiality thresholds for 2013/14 reporting year have changed. From July 2013 Reporters have been required to apply updated thresholds to their data capture and management strategies. The purpose of the changes is to reduce the reporting burden for key materials, namely petroleum based oils and greases, liquid, gaseous and solid fuels.
Fuel type
Threshold per instance of a source
Measurement Determination section
|Petroleum-based oils and greases (other than used as fuel)
|Division 2.4.1, section 2.39(a)
|Other liquid fuels (not mentioned in s2.39(a))
|Division 2.4.1, section 2.39(b)
|Gaseous fuels
|1,000 m3
|Division 2.3.1, section 2.18
|Solid Fuels
|1 tonne
|Division 2.2.1, section 2.2
Implications for reporters
These changes to the materiality thresholds will see a more streamlined NGERs 13/14 reporting process as reporters will be able to exclude reporting certain materials if they fall under the specified thresholds.
For example, reporters who consume less than the 5000L of oils and greases per instance of a source will no longer have to mandatorily report the consumption of these substances. Nevertheless, it is recommended that estimates for the quantities of substances consumed be quantified to ensure whether thresholds are tripped or not.
Reporting of immaterial amounts
Reporting fuel combustion and the associated energy consumption related to a separate instance of a source are optional if the amount combusted is less than the reporting thresholds set out in Table 1.
'Separate instance of a source' is defined in section 1.9A of the Measurement Determination as:
"If two or more different activities of a facility have the same source of emissions, each activity is taken to be a separate instance of the source if the activity is performed by a class of equipment is different from that used by another activity."
For example:
The combustion of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in the engines of distribution vehicles and the combustion of LPG in the engines of forklifts at any given facility are taken to be a separate instance of a source as the class of equipment used to the perform the activities are different. This is so even though the activities have the same source of emissions, namely the combustion of LPG fuel.
Discerning Materiality
Determining whether or not a particular NGERs reportable substance will trip thresholds can be undertaken in a variety of ways. Consulting historic datasets and NGER reports will show reporters if substances have met or exceeded thresholds in previous reporting periods. Undertaking representative-sampling and applying the results across similar operations can also provide robust estimates to reporters as to whether particular substances will breach thresholds. Finally, reporters may choose to directly measure the consumption for the reportable items in question and report remissions regardless of whether thresholds have been breached.
National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Amendment Determination 2013: consultation draft
The Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education has developed a consultation draft to facilitate discussion and obtain feedback on the proposed National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Amendment Determination 2013 (No. 1).
The draft Amendment Determination details updated methods and changes to calculation methods of Greenhouse Gas emissions associated with Coal Seam Gas exploitation, solid waste disposal on land and a revised emission factor for fugitive emission from brown coal mining. The Amendment Determination also seeks improvements for streamlining company reporting and incorporates responses from previous consultations.
Feedback will be received by the department until the 6h of June 2013.

Goffstown students were spread around Boston
GOFFSTOWN - Jennifer Ulcickas didn't believe her 12-year-old son, Ryan, when he texted her from Boston on Marathon Monday to say that there had been two bomb explosions in the city and that people had lost their limbs. "I sent him a text back that said, 'Ryan, stop kidding,'" she said.
It wasn't until the Mountain View Middle School paraprofessional got home and watched the news that she realized her son wasn't kidding. "I felt so bad," she said. "But then he told me he was going on the ferry, and it made me a wreck."
Ulcickas wasn't alone in her anxiety. Her son was one of 270 seventh-graders from Mountain View on a field trip to Boston when three people were killed and at least 176 were injured - many critically - after two bombs within a hundred yards of each other detonated near the finish line of the storied race.
"As a parent, the whole day was nerve-wracking," said Ulcickas. "I only felt better after I heard from his chaperone. Once I talked to his chaperone and she told me everything was OK, he was safe, I felt better."
The explosions in Boston touched off a flurry of activity in Goffstown as teachers and administrators tried to maintain open lines of communication in a city where cell phone service had been suspended and where panicked people were trying to process what had happened.
"Our kids were at different locations in the city," said Brian Balke, assistant superintendent for SAU 19, who helped spearhead the effort to gather all of Mountain View's students and chaperones in one place and onto buses headed home. "It was a coordinated effort; everybody worked hard. It was a very frightening day, to say the least."
Dorothy O'Keefe Mills was one of the chaperones along for the ride with her daughter, Sydney. They were inside Quincy Market when they joined a crowd of people staring at a television. "We were all just in shock," said Mills. "The overall feeling of it was kind of scary."
But Mills refused to let fear grip her, and she made the decision - soon after being drawn into the news accounts - to get away from the television and go outside with her daughter to give their day together some semblance of normalcy. "I didn't want her to get worried and scared," Mills said. "She didn't grasp the whole thing until we got home and she started watching the TV."
With cell phone service spotty, it was difficult for Mills to get in touch with other chaperones around the city. The group of 270 students had broken up into smaller groups that had fanned out into different parts of Boston. And it was the students who chose the places they wanted to see. "The kids made the itineraries, so you followed where the kids went," Mills said. "It got to be a little stressful after a while."
But it was the students and their easy use of technology that kept the larger group communicating with itself. "The kids were texting all their friends and parents and chaperones," said Mills.
As this was happening, Balke was communicating with a Boston police lieutenant in a substation located at the Charlestown Navy Yard, where the U.S.S. Constitution is docked. Eventually, the message got to everyone that the Navy Yard was where they would meet and board the buses to head home.
"I think the teachers all did a great job," Mills said. "It's just something you don't plan for, so they did the best they could."
Mills said being with her daughter and acting as a chaperone likely eased much of her anxiety over the tragic events of the day. "If I wasn't there as a chaperone, I would have felt pretty scared," she said.
Ulcickas said the school department was good about keeping families informed throughout the day with emails. She said she gave her son's chaperones, Amy Lynch and Wendy Brown, "a great big hug" when they returned home. "I thanked them for keeping him safe," she said.

well, not really. but we did find snow crab on sale for $6/lb! ... and to offset the heavy carbon footprint, a few (buckets of) snowpeas and a handful of herbs from the yard. super simple for a weeknight (heh. especially since b shelled the crab before I returned home from work).
based on bittman's recipe, almost everything should already be in your pantry. he even okays the use of pasteurized, canned crab. we used a fresh paprika and dill pappardelle from pasta & co., and combined steps, since the pasta took only about a minute to cook. keep processes separate if using dry pasta, as the garlic will burn the moment you walk away. and, well ... burnt garlic tastes pretty much like ass.
crab and snowpea pasta
adapted from bittman's recipe of the day
salt to taste
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsps garlic, slivered or minced
2 dried red chilies, or to taste
2 - 3 handfuls snowpeas, washed and strings removed
1 pound pasta
1/2 pound crab meat, or more
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. in a saucepan large enough to hold the cooked pasta, over med heat, add oil, garlic, chilies snowpeas, and a pinch of salt. cook, shaking pan (and adding a little pasta water), until garlic just begins to color and snowpeas turn bright green; turn off heat.
when water boils, cook pasta. when it is just about done, turn heat under oil back to low and add crab; stir once or twice. drain pasta (reserve a bit more of cooking water), and toss it in crab sauce to coat. if mixture seems a bit dry, add reserved cooking water or more olive oil. stir in parsley, adjust seasoning, and dust with grated parm.
postscript: some folks claim it's incorrect, adding parmesan to seafood, but I ask — how can it be wrong when it tastes so right?

The latest health seminar video is now available.
High Intensity
Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), for many patients, has revolutionized the treatment
of prostate cancer. Dr. Riemenschneider was involved with the research group
that led to the FDA approval. Since the October 13, 2015 FDA approval, we at
Riverside Urology, have used this treatment for many of our patients.
The beauty of HIFU is that it is a noninvasive "surgery".
The recovery is almost unbelievably rapid. Patients have actually been out to a
restaurant the evening of their surgery. They are typically back to work in
7-10 days.
Patients who have undergone HIFU therapy will be attending
our March 9th Health Seminar. Several of these patients were treated
as many as five years ago. Their follow-up demonstrates excellent outcomes.
HIFU patients retain their ability to be sexually competent and they have very
little if any urinary symptoms. They are continent and "dry as a bone".
In the News HIFU comes to Ohio

Rated 2 out of 5 by bbmn82 from a little frustrated I'm so sad... i love everything about this dress (color, cut, neckline)but i'm struggling with it: it's see through! I can't believe with all the reviews this dress has, that no one has mentioned that. It's an issue because the keyhole doesn't allow you to wear it with a strapless bra which means i have to go bra-less and then you could see the nipples or pasties if you wear them . I think i could take it to the tailor and have him put a more structured same color lining but that cost money and with a $98 base price i feel like it should not need any alterations... idk i'm debating whether to keep it or not. Also i'm petite 5'2" and an A cup so i get some extra fabric hanging from the chest area which again would be another alteration at the tailor. I feel like this would work incredible for someone with big boobs although with the fabric being so see through and flimsy i just dont know how that would work??

Wednesday afternoon, news broke that Denver Broncos star running back C.J. Anderson has an injury to his right knee and could miss extended time. Thursday, we received confirmation that he has a torn meniscus.
Anderson had gotten off to a hot start to the season before falling into a mini-slump over the course of four games against the likes of Cincinnati, Tampa Bay, Atlanta and San Diego.
Still, in typical Anderson form, the shifty running back would have a great game on Monday night with over 100 yards rushing and and touchdown. It looked like No. 22 was setting up to go on one of his usual runs.
But the injury bug struck.
With Anderson not being fit to see the backfield any time soon, the position now goes from being a time share to a more traditional one-man show, as Devontae Booker moves into that spot, with Kapri Bibbs serving as the No. 2. Coach Gary Kubiak described what will change this way.
"It just picks up Kapri's work basically," Kubiak said Tuesday. "Obviously, 'Book' would start and it's kind of up to 'Book'. How much can he handle and what kind of load he can handle? I think that he's been growing and played really well the other night. Kapri's been chomping for an opportunity so we'll see. We'll see where C.J. is at. [We] take it a day at a time."
Since his inglorious debut against the Carolina Panthers, where he would fumble on his first NFL carry, the rookie from Utah has steadily gotten better with each passing game.
"Right now, my coach has talked about it pretty much every day in our meeting room about opportunity and being ready for it," Booker said Tuesday. "He coaches us to be ready for every opportunity and during film study he makes sure we are ready for each and every situation that we may get on the field."
After giving the team a spark late in the loss to the Chargers in Week 6, Booker earned a 50/50 split with Anderson and actually had more carries on Monday night, with 17 to Anderson's 16. He also scored his first NFL touchdown.
It remains to be seen how long the Broncos will be without Anderson but how will the injury affect the Booker's progress? The backfield-by-committee approach that the team was taking was the best way to utilize the running ability of Booker, without having to keep him in on crucial passing downs or task him with protecting Trevor Siemian on third-and-long situations.
"It's just really knowing the whole offense," Booker said. "When I first got here, it was a learning obstacle for me, so the more and more that I watch film and start studying our offense more, I started knowing more and more about the pass protection."
VIDEO: Devontae Booker Deserving Of More Touches
Booker, by no means, is a slouch in pass protection but due to his lack of experience, wasn't the coaches' first choice to handle the blitz pickup on those types of game situations.
Booker has also benefited from only being asked to touch the ball 10-15 times a game, or less. This has allowed him to be the fresh pair of legs that takes advantage of defenses, while at the same time allowing the coaching staff to pick their spots of exactly when and how they are able to deploy Booker.
With Anderson going down, it remains to be seen whether the extra time on the field will negatively impact the rookie in the short term, should Anderson miss just a few games or be unavailable for the stretch run in December when rookies typically start hitting the wall of fatigue.
On the positive side, because of his steady improvement, Booker has deservedly earned the right to be out on the field more. He has consistently been the more explosive of the two backs and has also shown the necessary quickness and field vision on the stretch plays that haven't been as effective when Anderson is in the backfield.
In running those stretch plays, Booker has shown that he is able to set up blockers accordingly and get up the field quickly.
http://www.scout.com/nfl/broncos/story/1719434-get-si-subscription-with-... Booker's explosiveness also helps out the passing game by allowing them to run more play-action passes or bootlegs — something that has been noticeably missing in the West Coast offense employed by Coach Kubiak.
Those types of play calls also give Siemian easier throws, where he will simply need to find the receiver that beats one-on-one coverage down the field, or find someone like tight end Virgil Green or fullback Andy Janovich in the flat and let them get yards running after the catch.
The Broncos will sustain a major blow if they lose Anderson for any extended period of time. From a personnel standpoint, Anderson is a great fit for what the offense likes to do. But, the depth that team has at the position will be taxed by losing his availability.
Combined with all the other things he does for this team ranging from his pass-protection skills to being a great safety valve out of the backfield, losing Anderson for any amount of time will be felt.
However, it's hard to not get excited at the notion of the talented Booker getting more time and carries to showcase why he was such a steal in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Whether it be running the ball or catching it out of the backfield, the Denver running game will be in the capable hands of Devontae Booker for any amount of time that C.J. Anderson misses with injury.

The not impressed face…
Clown about town face…
Messy fun face…
Posted in Nicola, Photos |
I like these type of photos of your little girl. Her facial expressions tell such great stories 🙂
Yip…she has a very expressive face. 😉
Love the photo in the trollet
ooppss trolley
She's a real clown when we go shopping. Obviously it takes a lot longer, but it's fun to have her tag along so I don't mind.
What was responsible for the expression in that first picture (TOO CUTE)
She wasn't feeling well…and she gets really annoyed at me with the camera.
LOL…I would LOVE to know why she's so unimpressed in Pic 1. I do love the trolley one the most.
She's unimpressed because I'm taking photos…and she wasn't feeling well.

Fair Use
After decades of ever more draconian statutes and judicial decisions, our intellectual property system has veered far away from its original purpose. Too often, our nation's deeply held-commitments to promoting free speech and innovation seem to go out the window as soon as someone cries "infringement." An unproven allegation that your video or blog post infringes copyright, or that your domain name infringes someone's trademark, can be enough to shut down perfectly lawful speech. A bogus lawsuit based on an obscure patent can be enough to kill your promising and innovative startup.
It doesn't have to be this way. Ideally, intellectual property law—generally, copyright, patent, and trademark—is supposed to embody a balanced incentive system. Copyrights and patents, for example, are supposed to encourage authors and inventors to create new things by helping them receive some compensation for that investment. At the same time, copyright and patent law put limits on authors' and inventors' rights, such as fair use (for copyright) and limited terms of protection, to help make sure that IP rights don't unfairly inhibit new creativity.
Trademarks work a little differently—they are supposed to protect consumers by encouraging sellers of goods and services to stand by their brand, so consumers will know what they are buying. But these rights, too, are balanced by fair use and other limits.
When the system works, it can be an engine for creativity, innovation and consumer protection. When it doesn't, IP rights have the opposite effect, giving IP owners a veto on innovation and free speech.
What does that veto look like? It looks like decades of litigation to try to strangle new technologies and services in the cradle, from the phonograph to mp3 players to BitTorrent to podcasting to the next technology someone's inventing in their garage right now. It looks like lawsuits to shut down political activists simply because they using a corporation's trademarks in a parody site. It looks like a web of licenses, backed up by law, that limit your ability to tinker with, sell, give away, repair and generally use your devices.
At EFF, we're fighting to restore balance to our IP laws and ensure that the Internet and digital technologies continue to empower you as a consumer, creator, innovator, scholar and citizen.

Lady Gaga music videos have had over a billion online views, says analyst Visible Measures.
The company regularly compiles a 100 Million Views Club, which ranks video content views across numerous websites.
Sitting at the top of the list is hip hop artist Soulja Boy's Crank Dat with a staggering 722,438,268 views, followed by a Twilight New Moon trailer which has been seen around 639 million times.
But Lady Gaga's collection of racy music videos puts her in a class of her own - with over a billion views. This, says Visible Measures, makes her the most successful artist in the 100 Million Views Club.
This was achieved with only three songs - Poker Face (374m), Bad Romance (360m) and Just Dance (272m).
Her new video Telephone, with Beyonce, should further increase her web credentials.
User generated content making the list is David After Dentist - a kid pondering the meaning of life after a dentist visit - which has over 113 million views. Sneezing Baby Panda, after originally being uploaded over three years ago, has finally made it onto the list with 108m.

This is a fat heavy book. Well printed and arranged.
All the major composers are represented with full lists of their compositions.
A remarkable collection of "Unknown" composers too with
short biographies. Musical jargon explanations are very complete.
For 1964 - the latest edition, it is a truly remarkable collection
for its time and to the serious musical scholar a good substitute for
Grove or the Oxford dictionaries. Well worth the cost in my opinion..

We couldn't have been happier with the help and assistance we have received from Mark every step of the way during our immigration process. We have had two different large immigration firms representing us prior to Mark, neither one of which was able to be nearly as creative in finding solutions in tricky and complex immigration case, nor as dedicated. From our initial meeting with Mark, he was very diligent, but also straight up and fair about what our possibilities are, and for the first time since we started our process we felt like we were being in good hands. He gave us precise directions and always set realistic expectations, with a good strategy in place but without making false promises, which was refreshing. We went through J-visa process, H1B applications, permanent residency application and through each one of these processes we felt like Mark and Leigh always had a back-up plan in case something didn't work out, within the limits of the law, and there was always specific guidance on their part, which we were missing with all of our previous representatives. We feel beyond happy and also fortunate that we had an attorney who through his thoughtful and dedicated approach, helped us reach a permanent residency status in relatively very short period of time. I would sincerely recommend Mark to everyone seeking detail oriented, knowledgeable, experience and yet carrying attorney to represent them in their immigration case.

As soon as the Supreme Court declared the Defense of Marriage Act to be Unconstitutional in 2013, I contacted Mark Davidson to request Residency for my spouse. Davidson and Schiller worked efficiently as a team to guide me through all the steps (the I-130, the Hardship Waiver I601, and finally, the Consulate Interview. This was a nerve wracking time for me and my spouse and I was so nervious when we went to Juarez to have the interview with the consulate. I was so worried that the Consular staff wouldn't like something in the paperwork that we had prepared and they would reject my petition and my husband wouldn't come home. As it turned out, Mark's team had followed all the steps in the process perfectly, they gave us a package of paperwork arranged exactly as the consular personnel wanted, and he received his visa within a week. I give Mark Davidson 5 stars and I have already recommended him to many of my friends, including my co-worker Tom Bloom, who brought his son Sam to Davidson where he successfully got his wife's green card. I can't say enough about how thoughtful, organized, and efficient, the services of Davidson and Schiller were and I will continue to recommend them to anybody who asks.

The least I can do is to provide a fair review. My journey to the States was very easy thanks to Mark. He worked on my visa two years ago - it was approved within a month. In July 2016 Mark accepted to take my case for perm residency. Mark and his assistant Leigh, much obliged, have been more than helpful to me in a stressful time where a new administration has been taking over and the uncertainty for immigrants is growing. Mark, thank you very much. I have been recommending Mark to anyone seeking a phenomenal lawyer's advise and help.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
had a problem with the hot water tank in one of the suites it was late night and the manager still came to try to fix it! he gave me more than a generous partial refund and I would definitely go back. I'm not the type to complain and I would have never of ask them for a refund but it was definitely appreciated
The decor of the room was awesome! It was so nice to stay somewhere that wasn't a typical hotel room. The log cabin theme was great but not too cliche. The room was clean and spacious. The continental breakfast was typical cereals and pastries. My friend tried the waffles but said the batter was watered down and ended up making the waffles chewy.
This hotel is well located. The beds were fairly comfortable, as were the pillows. Plenty of very hot water and soft, clean towels. Rooms and lobby were reasonably clean. Not luxurious by any means, but worth the price! Could use an update, even the toilet seat was peeling.
Comfy Dirty, old, and run down
Cleanliness of room, close parking to room, good water pressure/hot water attitude of staff (Indian-run hotel), not hospitable at all
Clean rooms at a great price. Very impressed. Beds comfy. The hotel is next to the Summit diner which has good affordable food.
Clean enough Convenient enough Heater was a bit loud at night, but the old thing worked great!
Friendliness and concern for any problems. Hot and cold water reversed in shower.
People were very accommodating, pleasant and ready to help TV has permanent text display saying welcome to the budget inn somerset ... makes it less fun to watch the TV
Nothing This place is awful, closest comparison is the Bates motel. Left and went to find another place to stay

Opinium's latest report looks into whether we have become comfortable with a multicultural society. It suggests that we think we have become more tolerant as a country, and this appears to be reflected in the hopes and beliefs of ethnic minorities. Just under half (48%) of White Britons think that the United Kingdom has become a less racist country in that time, with a similar proportion of ethnic minorities (46%) agreeing.
For almost three quarters (72%) of White Britons the country in which they live in is the single most important part of their identity. However, for many ethnic minorities there are other layers which affect their sense of identity, as half consider their religion or ethnicity to be the most important part of their identity, compared to only 10% of White Britons
Similarly, what it means to be British and what makes you proud differs in many ways. White Britons often concentrate on some of the more traditional aspects of being British (such as British humour and the English language) while ethnic minorities were much more likely to focus on aspects of modern British society such as multiculturalism.
However, all, regardless of their heritage, equally seem to share a pride in individual freedom and democracy.

Make Up Collection,
Easter Video
My day was FABULOUS! I hope your day was great as well. I woke up around 11AM, I needed my rest. I had great healthy breakfast (didn't tweet the pic today, I am on Instagram "TheBeautyinme3") I then took a nice hour long walk with Keylana and my cousin, then we had a FABULOUS Sushi lunch! After the fulfilling lunch I needed to walk it out, so we went back out. During those running back and forth I edited a much requested video and uploaded it!
I have been asked so many times to update my MAKE UP COLLECTION. You see I don't collect make up and I live in a small apartment so I don't change the storage at all. What I did change my make up trays ( I will have DIY tutorial soon, sooo easy) so I decided to film a organization video.
Everything you see in the video I use daily, I don't like buying make up just to buy it, I buy what I use. I am gema-fobic person, so I don't keep nothing pass hear and half the longest!!!
