A popular system. Customers love the features, the price, and the fact that no contract is required. The best on today's market.
Customizable add-on features (like carbon monoxide detection). Wireless emergency signal is nearly impossible to block. Easy to set up/use.
External siren is not standard, but an add-on is available for purchase.
Suitable for small to medium-sized homes. Good equipment in a modest package.
Can auto-dial up to six emergency numbers. Customizable alarm. Quick and easy to install. No monthly fees.
Land line is usually required to operate. Occasional failure of individual units. System does not connect to an external monitoring service.
GSM connectivity is a hit with owners. No monthly fee (b/c no monitoring service).
A great system for larger homes. Features that appeal to bigger families such as multi-person enable/disable mode. You'll still get the message if a burglar cuts your land line.
No monitoring service means a delay if you call law enforcement. Occasional problems w/mount sensor adhesive.
A standout device with wireless service, cameras, and cloud connectivity. Monthly fee not required, but more or less necessary for quality service.
Two wireless IP cameras let you keep tabs on your home remotely. Wireless operation prevents intruders from tampering with your security system.
Although there is a free option, most owners agree the monthly fee is a "must."
An low-cost option that proves you don't have to spend a lot to get reliable security for your home. The best value for your money.
An affordable stand alone WiFi alarm and motion detector. Very easy to set up, and the app is easy to download. Loud volume. Tech support is accessible and helpful.
Sensor adhesive isn't very strong. Occasional dropped connectivity and false alarms. No monitoring service, which is actually a plus for consumers who don't want the expense.
We purchase every product we review with our own funds — we never accept anything from product manufacturers.
With hundreds of different home security systems on the market, it's no easy task to sort the useful features from the hype. After extensive research, we identified the top five home security systems that deliver the comprehensive levels of equipment and support you need. The top contenders are:
Note: The above product recommendations were updated July 2017. The products below were our original choices and have yet to be updated.
Door and window contacts -- those that set off an alarm when broken -- are common, as are motion sensors. However, some systems go a good deal further, detecting carbon monoxide and even water leaks.
Alarm & Alerts
Some modern home protection systems do more than just set off an alarm. Some systems can also phone your cell and/or alert the police -- even if the intruder smashes the control unit.
Installation, Features & Fees
All of the home security systems on our shortlist are do-it-yourself installations, although hiring a professional to install your system is always an option. Some systems include useful additional features, and there may be monthly fees for monitoring services.
Given the technology on offer, it's remarkable how little you have to spend for a good home alarm. Having said that, if you spend a little more, you often get extra coverage.
Fortress Security Store (TM) S02-A
The Fortress Security Store S02-A Wireless Home Security Alarm System may be called a "starter kit" by the manufacturer, but that doesn't mean it's poorly equipped. The S02-A includes a total of seven sensors: two that can detect motion and five that can be fitted to doors and/or windows. These two types of sensors, in combination, ought to provide adequate coverage for small to medium-sized homes. We appreciate the fact that you could theoretically have your magnetic door and window sensors on and your motion sensors off at the same time. The system is deactivated by either entering a code into the control panel keypad or by using one of two key fobs when you enter your home.
Simplisafe2 Wireless Home Security System
The Simplisafe2 Wireless Home Security System includes units that are similar to the Fortress S02-A. The system includes one motion sensor, four door/window sensors, and one remote sensor for arming and disarming. The manufacturer points out that the system is customizable and that additional sensors can be added at any time. Additional options include sensors for carbon monoxide, freezing pipes, and water leaks.
Fortress Security Store (TM) GSM-B
Not to be confused with the Fortress 502-A, the Fortress GSM-B provides you with three infrared motion detectors, ten window/door contacts, and three remotes. You should be able to comfortably equip a substantial home using this system. We like the fact that you can give several family members a way to enable and disable the Fortress GSM-B system. This is a particularly useful feature for large, busy families.
Oplink Connected OPG2201 TripleShield
The Oplink Connected OPG2201 TripleShield Home Security System offers only one motion sensor and two window/door units. It also features two wireless IP cameras and a free smartphone app -- a bit of an unusual feature -- so you can see what's going on in your house from anywhere via the Internet. This includes night vision! Like the Simplisafe2, the Oplink is an expandable system, so you can add more sensors or cameras if you so desire. The OPU (Oplink Processing Unit) simply updates itself to accommodate the extras.
PiSECTOR 3G/4G
You get plenty of control options with the PiSECTOR 3G/4G Wireless Security Alarm System. In addition to the main panel, there's a wireless version that you could mount somewhere else, such as the garage or a rear door. Three multifunctional remotes and two RFID door access tags (just hold them near the unit to activate/deactivate) are also included. The PiSECTOR provides an ample number of sensors, too, with three for motion detection and nine for doors/windows.
All of our top five home security systems provide warning stickers for windows and doors, and these really should be used. Many burglaries are committed by opportunists, but the visual deterrent of a warning sticker will stop some criminals from even attempting to get in. All of our finalists also feature some form of panic alarm, should you be unfortunate enough to encounter an intruder while you're at home.
Continuing the theme of good equipment in a modest package, the Fortress S02-A offers an external alarm that produces 110 decibels (described by one owner as "ear-splitting") so that all your neighbors will be alerted if someone attempts to break in. There is also an automatic dial-out system that can call up to six numbers if a breach is sensed. The alarm control unit can play a recorded message or custom sound if something sets it off, and you can even phone in and eavesdrop on what's happening. This system normally relies on a functioning land line, but some enterprising owners have managed to set up their S02-A alarm system using VOIP.
Surprisingly, the Simplisafe2 Wireless Home Security System does not come with an external siren. An external siren is available as an add-on, and at 105 decibels, it's more than loud enough. The internal siren reaches 85 decibels but, as one owner pointed out, there's a 30-second delay before it sounds. Thirty seconds could well be long enough for a burglar to break in and smash the internal siren, disabling it. What an intruder won't be able to defeat is the Simplisafe2's wireless, U.L.-certified monitoring. A built-in, cellular modem sends an emergency signal that is almost impossible to block. This signal goes out to the response center even if the control panel is damaged. In the event of a power outage, lithium batteries keep everything running.
The Fortress Security Store GSM-B takes the ideas incorporated into its S02-A model and improves upon them. The GSM-B's external and internal sirens are similar to those of the S02-A, but in addition to the six landlines, you also have the option of adding three SMS numbers and text alerts (if you get the appropriate SIM card). What this really means is that if a burglar cuts your standard phone line, a warning call or message can still get to you.
As is common, the Oplink Connected OPG2201 TripleShield Home Security System features both internal and external sirens. As is not common -- but we suspect it will become more common in the future -- the Oplink's entire system is monitored and controlled by smartphone. We'll look at this in a bit more detail in the next section, but essentially, the Oplink is a wireless alert system that, like the Simplisafe2, makes it virtually impossible for an intruder to block warning signals from getting to you and/or your monitoring service.
The first alert from the PiSECTOR 3G/4G Wireless Security Alarm System comes by way of an alarm via strobe light. Unfortunately, this feature is only internal. When it comes to alerting the home owner, however, the PiSECTOR is anything but limited. The manufacturer calls this security system a "dual system," but with GSM, land line, and VOIP connectivity, this product effectively has three ways of telling you -- or your monitoring service -- that there's a break-in. If you get a power outage, the system will shut down, but battery back-up readily kicks in. PiSECTOR also gives you the option of pre-programming the alarm to arm and disarm itself at the times you choose.

Fortress Security Store (TM) S02-A
A number of owners report that the Fortress Security Store S02-A is quick and easy to install, with average installation taking between 45 minutes and an hour. Those few who were unsure of the exact process were very complimentary of the customer support they received over the phone. As this is effectively an entry-level product, there are no features beyond those already mentioned and no monthly fees because it isn't possible to connect this system to a monitoring service. Although our research pinpointed numerous satisfied S02-A users, some did say that it's too easy for an intruder to unplug the internal alarm from the keyboard or disable the control panel by pressing the "OFF" button on the side.
Simplisafe2 Wireless Home Security System
Owners found the Simplisafe2 Wireless Home Security System easy to set up, and many liked how easy the instructions were to follow. Comments like "Up and running in under an hour!" are typical. The Simplisafe2's smartphone app (available for iOS, Android, and Windows) is a valuable feature that gives you almost complete control no matter where you are. One of this product's biggest selling points, according to the manufacturer, is the fact that there's no contract or long-term commitment required for monitoring. It could be argued, however, that the system is far less effective without monitoring. The $14.99 monitoring fee, therefore, may be low in comparison to other providers, but it is more or less a necessity. Our main criticism of the Simplisafe2 is that if you set it with a door or window already open, you get no warning. The Simplisafe2 is far from the only home alarm system with this "flaw", but having an alarm shouldn't excuse you from taking normal precautions -- like checking windows -- before you leave the house.
Fortress Security Store (TM) GSM-B
The "big brother" Fortress model, the Security Store GSM-B, is perceived by owners in much the same way as the S02-A. Installation and day-to-day operation are largely problem-free. Again, there are no monthly fees for monitoring service -- a feature many customers say they're happy with. The downside to not having a paid monitoring service is the fact that, if you are unable to respond to an incident yourself, there will be a delay while you inform law enforcement. One or two people found fault with the quality of the adhesive used to mount sensors, but this concern was limited to a few isolated incidents rather than a general trend.
Oplink Connected OPG2201 TripleShield
The Oplink Connected OPG2201 TripleShield Home Security System is also considered easy to install, with one delighted owner saying that it took longer to open the box and decide where to put things than the actual set-up itself. One feature that earns the Oplink top ratings is, of course, its two wireless IP cameras. These cameras not only record what's going on, they send images to the cloud so recordings are safe even if the units get damaged. Oplink's free smartphone app, compatible with Android, Windows, and iOS, offers real-time control from any location and can even manage multiple systems and/or share access with others. Like the Simplisafe2, there is a free option, but some owners felt this was a little misleading and that the $19.99 monthly fee was really a "must."
PiSECTOR 3G/4G
When it comes to installation, owners of the PiSECTOR 3G/4G All in one Wireless Security Alarm System have mixed reactions. Some thought it was "OK;" others found it confusing. PiSECTOR's customer support department also garnered mixed reactions. One owner called the service "outstanding;" others rated it as just average. We think the negatives could very well have to do with the complex features available with the PiSECTOR. You can set alarm zones, give them different names for later analysis, and arm different areas. You can compensate for pets accidentally setting off motion sensors. There's even a great "chime" function that lets you know if you've left a door or window open. This parade of useful features continues when it comes to monitoring. The system is compatible with any Ademco service and, as such, you could very well save money on your insurance premiums by employing one.
Fortress Security Store (TM) S02-A
The price on the Fortress Security Store S02-A Wireless Home Security Alarm System is $99. Aimed at apartments and small houses, this product offers tremendous value. One owner we spoke with bought it just for his garage. Any popular product is bound to generate some complaints; in the case of the Fortress S02-A, these centered mainly around product quality and the occasional failure of individual units.
Simplisafe2 Wireless Home Security System
The Simplisafe2 Wireless Home Security System costs $299, and to say it's highly rated by owners is something of an understatement. Comments such as "Excellent product!" and "Fantastic system!" are typical from thousands of satisfied customers. Although the monthly monitoring fee needs to be factored into the price -- and additional units would be needed by many owners -- these added costs don't attract criticism. Indeed, several owners we surveyed pointed out that big-name competitors charge three times the amount and demand a 36-month contract as a minimum. We did encounter a few complaints about system errors, but our research indicates that this occurs only in around two percent of all cases.
Fortress Security Store (TM) GSM-B
On offer at $249, the Fortress Security Store GSM-B Wireless Cellular Home Security Alarm System is much like the Fortress S02-A, but with more sensors and a feature that is invaluable to some: GSM connectivity. (Note: an appropriate SIM card is required.) Given the fact that the GSM-B is from the same manufacturer as the S02-A, along with the fact that the majority of the components are the same, you would expect user comments to be similar. Indeed they are, but we actually heard more complaints about the GSM-B. This could simply be a reflection of the fact that more units are included in the GSM-B. One owner was particularly pleased with the expandability of the GSM-B, noting that his control panel could accommodate up to 99 sensors and that these additions are very cheap compared to other manufacturers.
Oplink Connected OPG2201 TripleShield
The Oplink Connected OPG2201 TripleShield Home Security System costs $187. What you get for this amount is an advanced, expandable, smartphone-controlled alarm with unique cameras that can record activity and save it to the cloud for later analysis. Owners were keen to point out that getting the full Oplink benefit means buying the TripleShield option we've rated here rather than the AlarmShield alternative.
PiSECTOR 3G/4G
At $389, the PiSECTOR 3G/4G Wireless Security Alarm System is the most expensive product on our shortlist. In terms of features and functions, it offers more than any other home security system in our top five, combining a multitude of sensors with valuable, real-world options. Owners enjoy a greater buffet of choices when it comes to how they use this product, too. A few owners have reported faulty sensors, but the overwhelming number of comments we encountered about the the top-rated PiSECTOR were along the lines of "Awesome product!" and "Beyond expectations!"
The PiSECTOR is compatible with monitoring services, but the choice is yours. You only pay for extra coverage if you want it.
At BestReviews, we purchase every product we review with our own funds. We never accept anything from product manufacturers. Our goal is to be 100% objective in our analysis, and we do not want to run the risk of being swayed by products provided at no cost.

NGK Spark Plugs is introducing its new Powerdex AFX Wideband Air-Fuel Ratio Monitor for the performance aftermarket. This product meets the increasing demand in the market for precision air-fuel ratio monitoring tools.
Traditionally these types of tools commanded price tags that could only be justified by professional race teams and engine specialists. As technology advanced, many low-cost air-fuel ratio products emerged. Some used actual wideband sensors while others simply read OE style narrowband oxygen sensor signals and attempted to convert them to linear readouts .often with marginal success.
With the AFX, NGK now offers the most affordable wideband system to date. A flexible and rugged system complete with everything needed to get you tuning. The kit comes with a digital display control module, 13 wiring harness, wideband air-fuel ratio sensor, exhaust boss and plug, and a comprehensive tuning manual. The tuning manual includes installation instructions and contains a detailed guide to performance air-fuel ratio tuning.

Since I usually can't remember what happened last weekend, pulling together a top ten stories list seemed like a good reminder of important lessons learned this year. While some of us may have found ourselves obsessed by one particular tale that transpired, I found a select number registered in my Mommy Brain as a genuine "Good Lord!" moment. Some were serious, others trivial, but they all managed to elicit big emotions.
China and the Great Toy-Recall Debacle
It seems like every other week we learned of yet another toy company having to recall its China-made products for fear of lead paint poisoning. So far, millions of toys have been recalled -- Thomas the Tank Engine and Sesame Street figures among the many -- and millions of parents have freaked out. While the Chinese government investigates the issue and our federal Consumer Product Safety Commission does the same, I'll be buying wood toys made in places like Vermont and Pennsylvania.
Girls Gone Wild - The Spears Family Edition
The Spears Family Edition: Britney was a hot mess and the out-for-blood paparazzi gave everyone a front row seat. Let's be honest, the crazy antics -- shaving the head, partying all night, losing temporary custody of her two young children, stumbling through her MTV VMA show performance -- tread the razor's edge between amusing and disturbing. And just earlier this month, Britney's 16-yr-old TV star sister, Jamie Lynn, announced that she was pregnant, setting off a five-alarm firestorm of moral indignation and faux-finished concern. Somebody get that family a grip -- now!
Hillary Rodham Clinton: President Mom?
Should Sen. Clinton win the general election in 2008, she'll be the first-ever mother to set up shop in the Oval Office. Will all the mothering skills she gathered raising daughter Chelsea help her in The World's Toughest Job? One would hope so. Meanwhile, while Americans debate whether a female can be elected president, South America appears on its way to becoming a continent where the majority of the population is led by women.
The Virginia Tech shootings
The April 16th massacre of 32 people, the worst school killing in American history, left every mother, especially those with college-aged children, breathless. I can't imagine the grief felt by the parents of those slain students -- or of the spouses and children of those teachers who were also killed.
The Jena 6
One of the biggest news stories of the year is also the one that got me hopeful again about the power of peaceful protest.
Alec Baldwin's phone rant to daughter, Ireland
Hearing an outraged Alec Baldwin calling his 11-yr-old daughter, Ireland, a "thoughtless little pig" on a taped phone call should be proof positive that hero worshipping movie stars and other celebrities is a really bad idea.
Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards
Elizabeth Edwards announced in March that her non-curable cancer had returned and that her husband's campaign would go on with her blessing and help. My initial reaction to his news was an emotional, knee-jerk one: Wouldn't she be wiser to stay at home with her two small children while her health was still good? I've since come to admire greatly the couple's position on this very private matter: move forward into the unknown future as a family.
British athlete Paula Radcliffe wins New York City Marathon nine months after giving birth
Actress Katie Holmes got more media attention for having finished this same race with a respectable 5 hour-and-change time. But the real story of the day was 33-yr-old Radcliffe's, who won the race in 2 hours and 23 minutes. Nine months after I'd given birth, the only race I could win was to the nearest breakfast buffet line. Did I mention that Radcliffe's second-place competitor, Gete Wami of Ethiopia, has a four-year-old daughter?
MySpace suicide of cyber-bullied teen
Missouri prosecutors announced on Dec. 3rd that no criminal charges will be filed in connection to the suicide of 13-yr-old Megan Meier, who killed herself after being dumped by a fictitious MySpace boyfriend. That story's bad enough. Worse is knowing that the "real" boyfriend who did the breaking up was the mother of one of Megan's former friends, Lori Drew. What kind of insane "Mean Girls" nightmare was this woman living that she'd take the time to conjure up such a nasty ruse?
Lisa Nowak, the astronaut mom
This was a fairly run-of-the-mill tale of a doomed love triangle gone way wrong. Until, that is, we learned the story of Nowak's 900-mile drive to confront her romantic rival: a disguise, a BB gun and a diaper to reduce bathroom stops along the way (the diaper detail she later denied). For a 43-year-old Navy captain, NASA astronaut and mother of three, that's some love jones, y'all.

New Delhi, Jan 28: Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar feels that seniors in the side would have been hurt more because of the "manner of defeats" in England and Australia.
"It is the manner of defeat which has been disappointing. Look if the defeat would have been by a narrow margin, you would have felt that India were in the game. But save certain moments at the Lord's, Trent Bridge and Melbourne, India have never been in the game at all. The defeats have been very comprehensive which would certainly hurt the likes of Sachin Tendulkar," Gavaskar said today.
Gavaskar feels that senior players like Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid and Zaheer Khan would have been extremely hurt since they have experienced some enormous "highs" in their career.
"The likes of Sachin, VVS, Rahul, Zak have been around together for 10 years now and have enjoyed a lot of highs. So it would be more difficult for them to go through this phase," Gavaskar told NDTV.
Gavaskar was asked about five corrective measures that can be taken, he said, "I can give you three and other two will fall in place. Bat well, bowl well and field well!"
Gavaskar urged BCCI to prepare sporting pitvhes for domestic matches and also felt international players should play Ranji Trophy.
"I think we need pitches which are a bit more even for bowlers. Look at the Ranji Trophy final. Rajasthan got more than 300 run first innings lead but didnt go for an outright win. They batted again and that is where Indian cricket suffers where matches are decided on basis of first innings," Gavaskar said.

How to Break a Commercial Lease. Occasionally the need arises for a company to break a commercial lease. Whether going out of business, expanding or downsizing, the process remains the same. Breaking a commercial lease is often expensive and full of legal wrangling, but it is possible to do.
Examine your lease for early termination clauses. Most commercial leases give specific terms as to the circumstances you can exit the lease without penalty. If your reasoning doesn't qualify under the acceptable exit terms, you can expect to face the financial penalties expressed in the contract when you break the lease.
Speak to your landlord informally about the lease agreement. Test the waters in a friendly conversation to find out how receptive he is to simply terminating the lease. It never hurts to ask-he may already have someone interested in your location.
Offer a buyout to exit the lease. Even if your landlord is unwilling to terminate voluntarily, he may be more cooperative if he has a financial incentive.
Take your lease agreement to a lawyer if your landlord refuses to negotiate an end to the lease. Although you can break a commercial lease without a lawyer, legal representation ensures both you and your landlord stay within your legal boundaries during the process.
Fulfill your obligations--you signed a legal document and must abide by its terms. During an early lease termination, your landlord must actively seek a new tenant. Depending on your lease terms, you may be liable to continue paying rent until a new tenant appears; even though you are no longer in residence. In addition, if the landlord finds a lower paying tenant, your business can be liable for the difference in rent until the original lease expiration.

(May 5) -- The return of the volcanic ash cloud is causing travel misery for a second day, with airspace closures in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland today.
At this point, the potential cruise impact is minimal, though cruise travellers heading from the North and Ireland may have trouble if attempting to get to a fly-cruise departure port.
The latest statement from Britain's air traffic control body, NATS, states that from 1 p.m. BST (8 a.m. EDT) there is a no-fly zone for Belfast, Isle of Man and Edinburgh airports.
Earlier this morning, NATS advised that airspace in Western Scotland and Northern Ireland had been closed from 7 a.m. BST (2 a.m. EDT) and will remain closed until at least 7 p.m. BST (2 p.m. EDT) today, when NATS will assess the cloud. The Irish Aviation Authority has also restricted flights out of the major Irish airports this morning, including Dublin and Shannon.
Yesterday, there was a ban on flights in Ireland, Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland but it was lifted by the afternoon. Today however, the Met Office shows the ash cloud is continuing to move south and change shape, which could impact airports in the north of England -- although no airports have been closed at this point.
Cruise travellers due to travel from impacted airports are advised to contact their airline.
Last month, flights over much of Europe were banned for six days due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland. Cruise ship schedules were also disrupted with many passengers unable to get to their embarkation port.
However, a number of cruise ships came to the rescue of ash-stranded travellers. Celebrity Cruises' brand new Celebrity Eclipse embarked on a last-minute rescue mission to Bilbao, Spain, ahead of its launch celebrations. The cruise line worked with U.K. tour operators to collect 2,000 holidaymakers and bring them home to Southampton.
Thomson Cruises' Thomson Dream and Island Escape also played a part in repatriating customers. Instead of disembarking passengers in the Canary Islands, Island Escape sailed to Falmouth, Cornwall, to drop guests off and pick up embarking passengers.

I encourage (and write) about two things on this blog:
- Autodidactism — Instead of waiting for other people to tell you what to do, go out and learn on your own. My articles about "deconstructing high-achievers" fit into this category.
- Action — The real barrier to results isn't knowledge, it's action. How can we convert what we KNOW into what we DO?
This page is about the second.
Instead of preaching, I try to live by example.
I live life in 2-4 week experiments and 3-6 month projects. By gamifying life, adding artificial constraints, and recycling "mental tools" from other disciplines, I can consistently do in months what takes other people years.
Listed below are some of my current and past experiments.
Current Experiments & Projects
- Learn Storytelling. I'm good at the analytical stuff, but one of my big weaknesses has always been storytelling.
Past Projects
- $1000 Publishing Challenge. I bet $1000 that I would be able to publish (not just write) something every day for 30 days. The goal of the project was to conquer my fear of putting my ideas in front of other people.
- Learn Japanese in 18 Months. My first ever "project project". I ended up reaching near-native fluency (I can call people without them noticing I am a foreigner) in 18 months. I've been going on and off to Japan for four years now, and my Japanese has stayed at that original level.
- Coaching with Ido Portal. Three months training under one of the best movers in the industry. See my Instagram for some of the results.
- The Poker PhD. There is a reason hedge fund headhunters like to see "poker player" on resumes. The core principles of poker—probabilistic thinking, bankroll management, outcome independence, emotion management—have tremendous carryover to all sorts of real-world business situations. I spent two months in 2016 to see how fast I could go from being a losing poker player to a winning one.
- The Real-World MBA. For the last 6 months of 2015, I risked 10% of my net worth (see the NNT's Barbell Strategy for why) on live-trading currencies and stock options. The goal was to use that money as "tuition" to replace an MBA or other Master's degree with real-world learning. In those 6 months, I learned enough about economics, politics, risk-taking, and probabilistic thinking to cover several Master's programs…
- The Year of Reading. In 2015, I pledged to read at least 3 books a week. I ended up reading over 200 books. I still read 2-5 books a week, but I don't keep count anymore. See my Books page for some of my favorite reads.
- Two Years of Daily Writing. In late 2014, I started a habit of writing at least ONE SENTENCE in my journal. Of course, I always wrote more. This habit has continued for over two years and has been (along with reading) one of my highest return activities.

My form link is shown above. It pulls up in web view, but not in mobile view. Please advise as to how to get it to pull up in both views.

I checked your form in my mobile phone and I can see that the Matrix Dynamique widget is not responsive.
Please add the Mobile Responsive widget in to the form.
After that, you need to inject this custom CSS inside the Matrix Dynamique widget. Select the widget then click the wizard icon.
Go to the Custom CSS tab and insert this code to make the header font smaller:
.c0, .c1, .c2, .c3, .c4, .c5 {
font-size: 0.9em !important;

Last month job #1 was to derail Pelosi and Reed. One down, one to go.
This month, and for the next two years, job #1 is to derail Barry. From what I've seen, he cannot win an argument claiming he is constitutionally qualified to hold office. GOP care about what the media and Dems call them; I hold the constitution more dear than that.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line in Euclidean space. That straight line, in regard to derailing Barry, is showing that he cannot demonstrate any qualifications — for the office he has currently usurped, and for the senate seat he formerly usurped.
Sure, in Euclidean space but are you sure that those 3rd graders, one in Hawaii and one in Indonesian, weren't switched?"
In Banach spaces, like BHO, a large part of the study involves the dual space: the space of all continuous linear maps from the space into its underlying field, so-called functionals.
Think about it. :)

Laudry Room
Daddy's little helper.
Moving right along.
I have wanted our laundry room finished for about 10 years now. Nothing fancy. Just didn't want to be looking at insulation. It's funny how you get used to something and stop thinking about it. I told Keith that if guys look at garages when they are buying a home, then the women look at not only the kitchen but the laundry room. Therefore, it needed to be a bit more tidy looking in order to put the house up for sale. We settled on paneling and a malamine shelf. What do you think? Not too bad for an inexpensive project.

If I have to do more training, I will be doing no more than 4 days per week--Weds off. It's just too hard on all of us. We need at least one day in the middle of the week to regroup. Training is going well. Nearly signed off in Heme/Coag/Manual. Moved on to UA miscellaneous desk. None of this will make sense to non-lab persons but I want to record it for myself. I'll be a regular tech in those areas and fit in more training as time allows.

Noah and Dad Updates
We visited dad at the nursing home yesterday. He pulled Mya up in his lap so we could get a picture. Noah wasn't willing to get in there. Dad kept trying to stand up but they have an alarm on him so that he doesn't fall. We talked a bit and left when dad was worn out. Mya wanted to know when GP was going home to live with GM again. Noah keeps saying " why gampa in wheel chair?" I keep telling him that GP's legs don't work very well. In time, dad could walk again but he is pretty weak right now. He did complain that his butt hurt. :)
Had to get a picture with GM too. She's doing pretty good but the whole thing pretty much absorbs her mind as you would expect. Visitors are a much needed distraction.

I gave my father-in-law a surprise 60th birthday party. I used a poker theme. I had a poster that read "Welcome to Tommy's 60th birthday poker party".
We rented a function hall and I made centerpieces using fake coins set inside a jar reading casino funds. We purchased casino chips, red, black, and white balloons, as well as, large size playing cards, chocolate coins, and candy cigars that were labeled Tommy's poker party.
On each table were playing cards, dice, and Uno cards for those who don't care to gamble for fun. The menu was finger foods such as small sandwiches, chips, chicken wings, etc. (you get the picture).

Need Help, Advice Opinions On Airbrushes
Decorating By Linda1963 Updated 14 Sep 2011 , 3:06am by sweetteacher
Hi All, This is my first post although I have been here a while. I need direction on purchasing an airbrush for my cake decorating. I intend to use on buttercream as well as sugar sheets and fondant covered cakes. I understand that I need to get a dual-action, gravity feed airbrush...but my gosh which one ?! I can't spend a fortune but I also don't want to be buying another in less than a year 'cause I sacrificed a few bucks for quality. Paasche, Iwata, Kopycake(sp), Pro, Master... HELP!!!
Thanks in advance
I just bought my fourth (didn't need it but it was too cheap to pass up) one on ebay for 99 cents plus 10.00 for shipping brand new it works great. I have a Badger brand compressor and three other brushes different types I love my new one works amazing. Badger has great quality brushes and compressors also a dvd on instruction that is good too. hth
I've had a Kopykake Airmaster for several years and am very happy with it.

According to local historical records, there was once an amusement park named Samurai Park where a section of downtown now stands. Yasha is a robot who gained sentience when the park was closed and she and the other robots were abandoned. Bearing a grudge against humanity, she now seeks revenge. Yasha is a master swordsman and is armed with a katana. She possesses the ability to superimpose her domain, Samurai Park, across the space-time continuum over the section of downtown where the amusement park once stood. In addition, she can telepathically command all of the Samurai Park mannequins as well as remotely observe any location within the park.
Danbei, Akagamu and Daiko spying on Chokei and Natsuko. During this time a mysterious shadow covers Cosplay City. The strange shadow transports Cosplay City to a strange dimension which is ruled by a strange woman named Yasha. Our heroes are split up into pairs, (Danbei and Honey, Akagamu and Daiko, Chokei and Natsuko) and are forced to fight with Yasha's animated mannequins. Enemies in this episode include the Shinsen Gumi Samurais and the Lady Ninjas. After many transformations, Honey makes her way to Yasha's tower. After an exchange of words, Yasha, who has been possessed by Panther Zora tranforms into a huge metallic snake monster. Honey partially transforms into her metal armoured knight form, and uses her metal armed punch to knock Yasha down. Yasha falls onto a wooden stake and dies. A discussion about the mannequins from Samurai Park, an old abandoned amusement park that has been closed down for bankruptcy. Honey begins to cry as she thinks of how very lonely Yasha must have been.

By stabilising the currency and encouraging foreign investment, Fujimori (president 1990-2000) sowed the seeds for a decade of strong economic growth. Peru has since become one of the world's leading producers of copper, silver, gold, and zinc. Although ores and metals account for over half of Peruvian exports, ...

- You point, it pleasures
For the look I would give 8/10. I think it could be improved with less shine to make it even more realistic.
Rating for the feel I would give 7/10. It is very smooth but could have more of a lifelike feel.
Finally I give 9/10 for pleasure because there is always room for improvement, yet it is a fantastic toy.
Overall I rate this toy as 8/10 and would recommend it to anybody who already owns a wand vibrator and is looking for attachments.
- Cheshire Kink, for Cara Sutra's Pleasure Panel
- Wand attachment
I'm afraid I can't give this item a good review as its far too heavy for me to use which is a pity as I thought with me paying more than i'd usually pay I thought I'd be getting a good quality toy so I'd give this 4/10
- Heavy
I'm afraid I can't give a good review for this its now lying in a drawer as it's far too heavy for me to hold therefore it's nearly £20 wasted
- What a great toy
This is a fabulous toy. It's well made and fits my doxy wand really well. The vibrations rumble right to the top of this toy had me climaxing in no time. Love it would would recommend. X

Deus Ex: Invisible War
Review by zpickle7
"Not your ordinary post apocolyptic fps"
This game has to be the most original game of 2003. It offers so many things to appeal to so many people. fps fans will love it for its great fps style action. You could engage in a battle with almost anyone at any time you want to. Stealth game fans will love it for because of the cool stealth biomods. This gives you the ability to complete most of the game without even having to waste an ammo clip. RPG fans will love it for because of the total freedom it offers you in the decisions you make. You could join the global organization WTO and atempt to bring down the group of religious fanatics known as the Order. If you wanted you could work for the Order and atempt to bring down the WTO. Although you will find out later on that there are bigger fish to fry.
This game has some of the most beautiful graphics I have ever seen. The environments blow Halo out of the water. The character models are the absolutly the most best I have ever seen. They even modeled wrinkles in their clothing. They are the closest thing to real life people since Halo. The physics engine also helps matters. When you shoot them they will fall down very realisticly. I can just hit them with my baton for hour just to see how many different positions I can get them in.
The sound though is a different story. While the voice acting is top notch, there is little if no good music in this game. The only good music comes from the automatic juke boxes in the game which have real music from a real group. Although its no one you have ever heard before.
The framerate stays at about 30 but can sometimes drop below that when the action gets heavy. So don't go expecting a high speed frag fest such as Halo and Unreal Tournament. All problems aside, you should at least rent it to experience its wonderful story. It has so many plot twists that it will make your head spin. It also gives you the oportunity to play a role in any certain faction you choose. It doesn't force you into anything. You decide the flow of the story and the fate of the world. In the end this is one of the greatest games of the year and should definatly be experienced by everyone who has the slightest interests in gaming.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Lone Wolf
Louisville Bats vs. Buffalo Bisons (International League)
Louisville Slugger Field-Louisville, KY: Last weekend was another first, as this was the inaugural game that I attended alone. Brian was tied up with a friend, Trevor wasn't feeling well, and Lily was, well, out being Lily. Since there was no one there to entertain me other than the ballplayers, we can get right to the action, or in-action, in the Bats case.
Starting on the mound for Louisville was Cody Reed. He took the loss, going six innings while giving up four runs and striking out five. Leading the way offensively for the Bats was Jesse Winker. He went 2/5 with and RBI. Also helping out were Eric Jagielo and Brandon Dixon, who went 2/4 and 2/3 respectively in the loss. FINAL: Bats 2, Bisons 5.
This was a short entry, but, again, the game wasn't as much fun without any of my little buddies there. It's still always great to be at the ballpark, but better when enjoying it with someone!

Great American Birthday
Cincinnati Reds vs. Washington Nationals (National League)
Great American Ballpark-Cincinnati, OH: I love it that I have a summer birthday. One perk is that it's a good even split from presents at Christmas. My sister has a birthday on December 29th. It just seemed like Christmas presents simply flowed into birthday presents a few days later. Another perk of a summer birthday is that I can enjoy it at a ballgame. This year the Cincinnati Reds were nice enough to host a day game in celebration, so Brian and I made the short journey to enjoy some Major League Baseball. As usual, we parked over in Newport, KY, and took the boat across the Ohio River to the Great American Ballpark.
It was a super hot day out, but Brian still wanted to play on the kids' field for a bit. Good gravy, the game hasn't even started yet and this kid looks so hot and disheveled…
Our seats were amazing, even in the upper deck. We had front row and had a phenomenal view of the game taking place before us, sitting behind home plate. Unfortunately, as northern boys, the sun and heat were not making it comfortable for us, so we had to move down under some shade. At least we had a solid look at Eugenio Suarez's home run in the second inning. And that was pretty much all the offense the Reds could muster.
If Tucker Barnhart is looking at me for a sign on what to throw to Bryce Harper, I have no clue. That guy can hit just about anything…
The game itself wasn't a great one for the Reds. Scott Feldman started out on the mound, but only lasted one inning. He gave up five runs on five hits, including two home runs. One was a three-run blast by Harper. Well, he's now on the DL… Asher Wojciechowski (who was just on Louisville last month) came in to throw five solid innings, giving up one run on two hits, while striking out four. And again, the only offense for the Reds was Suarez's home run. FINAL: Reds 1, Nationals 6.
Despite the score and the heat, this was a great birthday. Lily and Trevor were up visiting Michigan, so I really missed them, but Brian and I had a good time. I definitely want to take in another game here before the season is over, but maybe in September, and maybe a night game so it's cooler. We'll be back at the Bats this weekend, but I can't believe the season is half-way over, and we only have a few more games planned…

Lego Land
Louisville Bats vs. Charlotte Knights (International League)
Louisville Slugger Field-Louisville, KY: Another gorgeous day here in the 'Ville, and another Bats game for Brian and I to enjoy. Last weekend the Legos Play Ball Tour was in town for some fun. Brian was able to make some cool Lego vehicles and the kids had the chance to race them, also!
It was a fun way to spend the pre-game, and it kept us out of the heat. The kids were even able to make a baseball player out of Legos and take it home with them, which is cool. I'm sure soon, though, all the parts will just get thrown in his Lego bin.
On to the game, as we settled in our seats with our new free hats courtesy of the Bats.
Starting on the mound for the Louisville was Amir Garrett. He threw six and 2/3 innings, giving up two runs on six hits. He only walked two batters while striking out four. In the ninth inning, the Knights tagged relief pitcher Kevin Shackelford for a pair of runs to take the lead 4-2, but the Bats' offense wasn't done yet.
The Bats opened the scoring in the second inning, when Adrian Nieto's double scored Eric Jagielo. Then in the sixth inning, a Hernan Iribarren double, wild pitch, and error allowed him to scored the tying run. Going into the bottom of the ninth down by two runs, the Bats battled back to load the bases. Four two-out singles scored three runs, including Phillip Ervin's walk-off winner.
We had a lot of fun at this one, with a good combination of the Legos and the walk-off win. Brian had a good time, and was really into the game at the end, which makes it more fun for me, also. An added bonus was seeing former Louisville Cardinal Zach Burdi on the mound for the Knights, although he did leave the game after facing only a couple of batters for undisclosed reasons. Our next game will be in Cincinnati for my birthday, so that should be a good one!

Bat Boys & Indians
Louisville Bats vs. Indianapolis Indians (International League)
Louisville Slugger Field-Louisville, KY: We were back at it last weekend for another Bats game. I really wanted to hit 80's night the day before, but just couldn't make it happen. That promotion is simply tailor made for me, but Bri and I still had a great time on Sunday. And the weather was perfect for baseball, as it's been lately. Also, coming in the gate Brian got a free mini-bat from the Louisville Slugger Museum. We already have a few of these, but you can never have too many mini-bats. We'll be making it back to the museum soon to check out their Lego exhibit, anyway!
On to the game, starting on the mound for Louisville was Cody Reed, who only lasted through the first two innings. He held Indy off the board, though, waling two, striking out three, and giving up one hit. Asher Wojciechowski pitched three innings, giving up one Indian run on four hits while striking out five. Kyle McMyne gave up the only other Indy run, but still earned the win. He pitched two innings and struck out one batter. Earning the save was Kevin Shackelford, who pitched a scoreless ninth inning.
Also during the game, Brian got a game ball thrown to him by Indians manager Andy Barkett. He managed for a few years in the Detroit organization, and must have sensed we were Tiger fans!
The Bats scored one run in the first, and went on to take the lead with three in the seventh. Leading the offense for the Bats, was catcher Rob Brantly, who went 2/4 with an RBI. Helping out was Sebastian Elizalde who went 1/3 with an RBI and run scored. Alex Blandino started the scoring for Louisville in the first, and was 1/2 with an RBI and run scored in the game. FINAL: Bats 4, Indians 2.
Another fun day for us, and the Bats had BBoy McCoy, the break dancing bat boy, in attendance to entertain the fans between innings. I still think that break dancing is very cool, and the movie Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo still holds up, today. Unfortunately, the times he was out, we were either at the playground, or I couldn't get my camera or phone focused in in time to catch a photo or video. I did find a nice video of him on YouTube, though, that I'll share. I highly recommend seeing him if he's at a ballpark near you!

Swashbuckling at Slugger
Louisville Bats vs. Toledo Mud Hens (International League)
Louisville Slugger Field-Louisville, KY: Another beautiful day at the ballpark, and this time we had Pirates and Princesses on hand to entertain the kids. Lily went through a Disney princess stage when she was younger, so I'm familiar with Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, but I don't know the name of the newer one, the Frozen one. As far as the pirates go, Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Hook were there for some looting and pillaging.
The Bats were hosting the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate, Toledo Mud Hens, so my allegiance was a little torn. The Mud Hens, however, jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the first inning, and really never looked back. Tyler Collins hit a three run blast to help the Hens out in that first inning, as Toledo sent all nine hitters to the plate. For the Bats, Dilson Herrera answered with a two-run homer of his own to cut into the lead in the second inning. In the fourth inning, and Matt den Dekker triple, a JaCoby Jones double, and a Bats' error restored the five run lead for the Mud Hens. That was about it for the offence in the game, so Brian and I went to meet the pirates. Lucky for us, the line was a lot shorter than the one for the princesses.
On the mound for the Bats, Sal Romano took the loss, throwing five innings and allowing seven runs on 10 hits. Matthew Boyd got the win for Toledo, pitching six innings and giving up two runs on five hits while striking out five. FINAL: Bats 2, Mud Hens 7.
Another fun day for Brian and I at the ballpark. There were tons of kids at this game, especially girls, for the princesses, which made the line to run the bases really long. Brian opted not to run, and really, he was just playing on the field the day before. Rough loss for the Bats, but this one I didn't mind as much…

Brian learns from Bats
Louisville Slugger Field-Louisville, KY: Last weekend the Bats hosted a youth camp sponsored by the local Chevy dealerships. Members of the Division III Spalding University baseball team were also on hand to help teach the kids. After warm-ups, Brian's group went to play a game of wiffle ball with some Golden Eagles to start things off.
After the wiffle ball game, his next station was in the outfield catching fly balls. The players were hitting the baseballs much higher than the kids were used to seeing, but most did a good job of catching them, anyway.
After working on the pop-fly's, the groups worked on fielding the ball off of the wall. This is something the kids haven't dealt with much at their age. They had some good drills, and made a game of it. After that, their next station was catching. One of the Bats coaches was running this one, and you could tell he was an old-school baseball guy. He didn't put up with much from any of the kids (and Brian did have a few smart-asses in his group), and expected them to hustle and work hard. Nothing wrong with that. I didn't get any good pics of the last two stations, so we'll move onto base-running. The boys worked on running through the base, and making that hard turn toward second.
I wasn't able to follow him down to the indoor batting cages, but he said he hit the ball pretty well. No surprise, as that's probably the strongest aspect of his game. I did snap a shot of him in the dugout, though!
Then it was time to gather at the short-stop position for some ground balls. Brian has gotten a lot better at fielding over the last couple of seasons. I was having fun just seeing him out there on the field. They had a little problem with some bullying in their group, but the Bats official put a stop to that asap. Sometimes you get some kids from the same team in these groups, and think they can push kids around and run the show.
The last station was pitching. Brian will be entering the kid-pitch division for the first time this fall, so this was good instruction he was getting. He needs some help with his throwing mechanics, any, so this station was good for him.
In all, this was a fun experience for him. They move the kids around pretty quick, but I'm hoping he picked up a thing or two to get ready for fall ball.

Spring Season Ends
Walsh Park-LaGrange, KY: That's all she wrote for this season of Little League baseball. Not much changed from my last entry, as it continued to be a frustrating season for Brian and his team. The Diamondbacks ended the season 5-14, good for eight in the 10 team league. The D-backs also bowed out in the first game of the playoffs, so a very different end to the season as Brian was hoisting a championship trophy at the end of June last year.
The old saying is, that you can always learn more by losing, and if that's the case then that is definitely the silver lining for this season. Life parallels baseball so much, and there are so many lessons to be learned. Sometimes you work hard and get a hit or make a solid play. Sometimes you miss one, and you have to put it behind you and work a little harder on the next one. Life, as in baseball isn't always fair. You don't always get what you earn, and sometimes you even get called out on a strike below the knees.
That being said, he still had a very good season, and I'm very proud of the way he played. He still hit over .500, which is impressive even off of a hitting machine. He improved on his catching and fielding, but we still need to work on throwing mechanics. Brian showed a better overall understanding of the game, where the play was heading and where to throw the ball if it came to him. At times during the season, Brian also showed signs of being a good leader on the team, cheering on his teammates and keeping a positive attitude, and I'm very proud of him for that. I really think he enjoys the game, too, as every day he asks if we can play catch or play one of our 'Brianball' games out in the yard. Fall ball starts up here the end of August and he's looking forward to that, but I think he's happy this small chapter of his baseball career has come to an end.

Pork Roast
Louisville Bats vs. Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs (International League)
Louisville Slugger Field-Louisville, KY: Bri and I back at Slugger Field, but this time for more Bats baseball. This game they were hosting the Iron Pigs, which Brian thought was hilarious, and kept making jokes about all night. Yep, that's my guy…
It was another beautiful night, as Robert Stephenson took the mound for the Bats. He threw a perfect four innings, giving up no hits or runs. The Louisville offense came alive in the fifth inning, however, starting out with a Brandon Dixon solo home run. Hernan Iribarren would later smack a two-run single, extending his team's lead to 3-0.
Brian and I needed a little snack during the game, again, and this time went with some Kizito cookies. The cookie lady walks around the ballpark with a basket of cookies on her head, and it's hard to say no! The cookies are really good and priced right, also, which helps to feed hungry kids.
Brian also got a foul ball, and we picked one up in the gift shop with the retro logo on it. It gave us something to throw around at the game, anyway:
The wheels fell of a bit for the Bats in the eight inning, though, as the Iron Pigs tapped relief pitcher Kyle McMyne for four runs on four hits to take the lead. Louisville tied the game at the bottom of the inning, after Phillip Ervin's base hit that scored Stuart Turner. With the game tied 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth, Sebastian Elizade hit an infield single to bring home Zach Vincej for the walk-off win! FINAL: Bats 5, Iron Pigs 4.
Another fun game with Bri. We had another busy week in baseball, and another Bats game the next weekend, so stay tuned. I'll leave off with a pic of Bri and Buddy Bat:

2017 ACC Championship
North Carolina TarHeels vs. Florida State Seminoles (NCAA)
Louisville Slugger Field-Louisville, KY: Well, here we go with the title game (and only two weeks behind…). It was a beautiful day in the 'Ville, as Trevor and I settled into our seats for the impending action.
The game started out well for North Carolina, despite playing ball just twelve hours earlier. They plated three runs in the second inning, first on a solo shot from Tyler Lynn. Michael Busch hit an RBI double to put the Heels up 2-0. Then two errors by the un-named Seminole first baseman allowed Busch to score to put his team up 3-0. Unfortunately for the Heels, that's all the scoring they would get. In my opinion, the turning point of the game came in the fourth innings when North Carolina had the bases loaded with no outs on a pair of walks and hit batter. The next three TarHeels struck out, leaving the pond full of ducks, and NC fans bewildered.
On the mound for NC, Josh Hiatt took the loss, giving up six runs on six hits, two of those being home runs. The Seminoles pretty much put the game away in the eight inning, scoring five runs. The un-named first-baseman made up for his error with two home runs in the game. An un-named pitcher for Florida State picked up the win, despite only working 1.1 innings and striking out one. The worn out TarHeels just couldn't compete late in the game with the more rested Seminoles. FINAL: TarHeels 3, Seminoles 7.
Also, as the game was a day before Memorial Day, this was a good time to thank and pray for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this great country, so my son and I can enjoy a ballgame together. At Louisville Slugger Field, there is a seat in the outfield reserved just for them. Trevor put his American flag in the cup holder of the seat, and when we came back around, there were many more there!
Ok, maybe I was a little hard on Florida State through out this tournament. My original plan was to take some good photos and maybe even a video of the celebration and trophy presentation after the game, no matter which team won. And maybe it was a little rash of me to just head for the gate at that final out. So here's a video I found on YouTube courtesy of ACC Digital Network for you to enjoy. It pains me to say this, but, congratulations Florida State…

2017 ACC Semi-final Game 2
North Carolina TarHeels vs. Miami Hurricanes (NCAA)
Louisville Slugger Field-Louisville, KY: I'm not going to lie. We never saw one inning of this game. Not one pitch, not one at-bat…nothing. For some reason the ACC decided to keep postponing the game, even though the weather was fine at the time. The photo above is the TarHeels just hanging out, waiting to play ball. However that wouldn't happen for a couple of more hours. Yes, there was a chance of rain, and yes, it did end up raining, but not until after the postponed start. The ACC could have given the go-ahead, and when it DID rain, at least the teams would have gotten a large chunk of the game in. Also, as we did, a large chunk of the paid attendance wouldn't have been cheated out of a game, either, as fans headed for the gates when the announcement came that the game wouldn't start for awhile, yet. FINAL: TarHeels 12, Hurricanes 4.
I'm not going to lie. I really would have liked to have seen this game, but since it didn't get over until almost midnight, that would have made for a very long and strenuous day, especially with my dad and Brian at the ballpark impatiently waiting for baseball that we paid for. At least Brian got to meet some of the North Carolina players, but we didn't have a chance to catch up with any Hurricanes.
Before the announcement of the delay, we took the time to check out the ACC Fan Fest in the West Wing of Slugger Field. I really wish the ACC would have shown that this is an important event, and maybe had some more things going on, and maybe some of the school mascots on hand instead of just cardboard cutouts of them. Brian at least got to see the ACC Championship trophy, too.
We spent most of the time at the Louisville Slugger display, where Brian was able to hold some bats of Major Leaguers, including Louisville's own Adam Duvall. Again, we were all very disappointed that we weren't able to see any of this game, but just couldn't stay there and wait around any longer. I honestly wasn't that impressed with the way the ACC handled this tournament as a whole, from the pool play down to it's weather delays. But, then again, having NC play until midnight and have to be ready to play the next day at noon, gave a HUGE advantage to the waiting Seminoles… Hhhhmm….

I don't want to make it sound like she's ugly, or that I'm judging her or that I'm jealous of her looks. I just want to see what you think.
According to her photos this is her everyday look
And I don't know.. it makes her look like a clown in my honest opinion
she found her "twin"
- She looks like a clown. -Honks her nose-Vote A
- SHE IS NATURALLY PRETTY. YOU ARE JEALOUS. A HATER. A GREAT BIG HATER.Vote B
- That's not a lot of make upVote C
- A lot of make up, no make up at all, either way she's uglyVote D
- It's a lot of make up, but she's still pretty.Vote E
Most Helpful Girl
Yeah, that's too much (and too exaggerated) for my taste, even for a party look. And for an everyday makeup look, that looks totally horrible.
She'd look prettier if her makeup looked something like this.
Just fooled around in photoshop for a few minutes. It's not perfect, but I think it's a lot better than her original pictures. :P00|00|0
Also I'm sorry for the wonky mouth. Obviously she draws outside her natural lines with lip liner, so I had to make it a bit smaller. But it ended up looking a bit weird because of the duckface. Lol.
She does look a lot better like that. Nice work haha
Thanks :D

|News About Animals
As many as 8,000 America Online members logged on Monday night to chat with the 26-year-old western lowland gorilla. With the help of her interpreter and handler Penny Patterson, Koko chatted back using sign language to describe colors, her dreams and her cats.
"She was really relaxed," said Patterson. "She was being thoughtful. She was really thinking about these questions."
More than 13,000 questions were submitted, though Koko addressed fewer than a dozen. The gorilla's online conversation was the fifth busiest in AOL history, trailing chat sessions with Rosie O'Donnell, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan and the teen-age pop group Hanson.
The gorilla, who conducted the chat session from the kitchen of her home at the Gorilla Foundation's Woodside facilities, has been tutored for 25 years in American Sign Language. She has a working vocabulary of 500 signs, according to the Gorilla Foundation.
Koko's attention wandered as she played with her toy alligator. After 45 minutes, she lost all interest and began playing with her dolls.
But at times she was responsive enough to impress her cyberspace interlocutors. She even received a marriage proposal, to which she did not respond.
When questioned about her favorite beverage, Koko responded with "apple drink.".
"Eat now," Koko signed to Patterson when the gorilla was asked whether she was hungry. "Red red," Koko said when she wanted to play with a red hair tie. "Foot," Koko replied when asked about a male human.
Koko covered her face when asked if she would ever like to have a baby. Patterson said Koko couldn't quite conceptualize events in the future well enough to address them.
Brenda Smith, who logged on from Port Wing, Wis., and often moderates Internet chat sessions with soap opera stars, said Koko did well in comparison.
"I think that animals are far more intelligent than we give them credit for," she said. "I don't feel a bit offended about being descended from her."

These past 3 months a lot more weight has been put on my shoulders due to the company cutting the dead weight. CEO asks the head SA to come into the office doors close. I'm thinking "uh oh" He comes out and then I am called in. I'm so nervous. I then am told that I have been with the company for a year and a half and he apologizes for the slow year and can only give me a 10% raise and says he is very happy with my work and is glad that I am part of the company. I'm not complaining. I feel so much better now that my hard work has paid off.

Upland Hunting
Good numbers of Mountain Quail and Valley Quail inhabit the regions of Southern Oregon. Mountain quail and valley quail hunting is the primary target for our upland hunting guests. Hunting for pure, non-supplemented wild birds is a real privilege! We also hunt ruffed grouse, and blue grouse. Guests can hunt over our Pointers or bring your own favorite dog.
We do very well with our upland hunting program. Wild game bird hunting is a very fun pursuit but it can be a shock to folks that have been hunting supplemented birds. Wild bird hunting is… different. The birds are unpredictable and we sometimes cover a lot of ground on foot. Hunting can be tough but at the end of the day, bird in hand or not, we want you to have fun! What that means for you is prepare yourself. Condition yourself with walking and hiking ahead of time. Remember we are at 4200 feet or more which will also be a struggle if you're coming from the low lands. Oh and if you're bringing your dog condition them too! We see a lot of sore paws at the end of the day!
Mountain Quail may be the toughest of all quail species to hunt. With their unwillingness to fly and desire to run combined with steep and often bushy terrain makes for a fun challenge when chasing these birds! Here at ROE we have been hunting Mountain Quail for 30 years and have learned at least a few things that work in our favor against this tough opponent! We are able to train our dogs on how to pin down these birds in reasonable terrain in order to offer our guests a shot. Many miles can be covered throughout the day but nearly all of our collectors have managed to finish their quail slam while here in Oregon.
We recommend four+ day hunts for mountain quail hunting success.
Valley quail are hunted in the low lying foothills in and around the Klamath Basin. These birds can hold tight in sage brush, flush wildly 20 feet above your head from a Juniper tree or explode thunder likeas a covey under the nose of a pointing dog. These birds are fast. Fast, and a worthy species to be hunted.
Covey size can range from 8 to 50 birds. Valley quail, also known as California Quail, are not big runners. Typically after the initial covey rise there will be a lot of dog work for singles and pairs. Valley quail typically will hold very tight after the covey is split up.
Many of our guests will come and hunt both mountain and valley quail during the same 4-5 day hunt. Alternating day works well to mix it up. In general we have two hunters with one guide on quail hunts. We can provide the pointer or you are welcome to bring your own dogs.
Trip Length:
Mountain Quail West: September 1 – January 30
Mountain Quail Eastz: October 1 – January 30
Valley Quail West:

We encourage our hunting guests to bring a four-wheel drive vehicle. We often travel into areas where a higher clearance vehicle is necessary. Winter conditions may also make a 4-wheel drive vehicle necessary.
No, we do not rent firearms
No, we do not sell ammunition but there are several places in Klamath Falls where you can purchase a variety of ammunition. If you have specialty loads please come prepared.
Oregon does not require hunter's safety for persons over the age of 18. Participants under the age of 18 must have hunter's safety in order to purchase an Oregon hunting license.
Yes, we hunt in the snow! We do not cancel hunting trips because of snow. Please be prepared to hunt in all types of weather.
All reservations are charged in full at the time of booking. If you need to cancel or modify your reservation for any reason you are required to notify us 30 days prior to your scheduled tour.

Hunting trips are not without inherent risks. ROE Outfitters LLC cannot assume responsibility for injury to hunting participants or loss of personal property.
All participants are required to sign a participant agreement before the hunt begins.
If under 18: A parent or legal guardian must also sign the participant agreement.
Please note and understand that our staff and management have the right to refuse anyone participation rights if they do not meet the hunting requirements or if it is deemed unsafe for them or anyone else in the group to participate. Hunter safety is the top priority. If any participant demonstrates unsafe behavior, appears intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or medication that may affect their judgment or abilities or for any other reason the staff believes they may present a risk to themselves or others by participating, they will not be allowed to participate in the hunt. Staff has the final say on participation.
