cheap piece of junk
By bossmom
from Undisclosed
Very disappointed in the product. This was a small 5 year old and it was tight on his wrist. Then price wasn't worth for what I paid for it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nostalgia...comes in many flavours. Nostalgia also features ellipses, and sometimes tissues, and, for the VGF among us, carbs.
While tackling the rolls my grandmother makes for Thanksgiving to make them vegan and gluten-free will probably never yield a perfectly white piece of bread, I can make a bread that's pretty darn close to the rolls served at the now-defunct chain restaurant Steak and Ale. (By the way, you should donate to Wikipedia. It's worth your while to support the free sharing of knowledge.) The molasses and buckwheat flour colour these rolls a pumpernickel brown, while I'm sure it was caramel colour and a heck of a lot more sweetener that gave the Steak and Ale bread its dark sweetness.
Molasses Oatmeal Rolls
Inspired by Whole Foods Market
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tsp maple sugar
3/4 cup lukewarm water
3/4 cup almond milk
4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons plus more coconut oil, melted, for rolls and for greasing pan
3 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 cup sorghum flour
1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1 cup oat flour
1 teaspoon salt
dash cinnamon
11/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup rolled oats for topping rolls
2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil for brushing tops of rolls
In a small measuring cup, combine yeast, 3/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Set aside to get bubbly.
In a small saucepan, heat non-dairy milk almost to a boil, where small bubbles appear at the interface of the pan and its contents. Do not boil! Remove from heat and set aside to cool for at least 5 minutes while you assemble the rest of the recipe.
In a medium-sized measuring cup, combine ground flaxseed and set aside.
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, xanthan gum, salt, and cinnamon. Add melted coconut oil, hot milk, vinegar, molasses, and salt to flax mixture. Add the yeast mixture to the flours and stir. add the rest of the wet ingredients in three additions, stirring well after each addition. Fold in the 1/2 cup oats and mix well. Use a 2-tablespoon or larger cookie scoop to portion rolls into pan. Brush rolls with remaining coconut oil and top with 1/4 cup oats. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Twenty minutes before the end of rising time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 37-40 minutes or until rolls are browned on top and sound hollow when tapped. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack (flip into your clean potholdered hand, then flip right-side up onto rack).
In the pan
With antipasto at Thanksgiving (Italian family T-gives)
My plate when we finally got to the main meal, from the nine o'clock position: curried roasted chickpeas and black beans, cornbread dressing, molasses oatmeal roll, cranberry-apricot dressing, roasted brussels sprouts with hazelnuts, roasted pear and sweet potato puree, and roasted garlicky butternut squash
The dessert plate: chocolate pecan brownie pie (updated for 2012) and pumpkin cake cheezecake (layers of vanilla-peanut cake and pumpkin cheezecake)
I am thankful for family and food. And the pace of mailed letters. I much prefer the mails to emails because no one can reasonably expect a letter to be delivered in less than 24 hours. I think I'm turning into a Luddite-curmudgeon-hermit at age 22 who wants the pace of life to slow the fuck down. Gadgets are all well and good, but ya know, the compy's useless when the power goes out, as it did with Sandy a few weeks ago. I'm thankful for face-to-face communication and communion with family.

Melbourne, December 28 (ANI): Australian PM Kevin Rudd has let out his leadership secret to Shane Warne, telling him "it's all in the wrist action."
The federal leader of the centre-left Australian Labor Party, presently on a holiday, let his nerves unwind by watching the Boxing Day Test.
He joined the former international cricketer in the commentary box at the MCG as Australia played against South Africa, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
It was during the commentary that viewers had been asked to vote if Warne should run for the post of prime minister.
While the last update of the poll had 70 percent participants nodding in favour of the renowned leg spinner, Warne himself denied having any idea for the top job.
He said: "I've got absolutely no idea how to do it."
Rudd replied: "Mate, it's all in the wrist action."
Warne: "OK, well then I might be half a chance if it's all in the wrist." (ANI)


text: Morning people. Last night whilst i was tired i was browsing the Gumtree freeads to look for a new (free) table, since mine broke... not that i cant afford a new one, id just rather have one for free than pay for one!.. anyway. I see a post "Free £60 of Argos vouchers" i think... hmmmm this has to be a CPA offer. So i opend the post, and it said something like "Hi i work for Argos so i cant use these vouchers or give them away to family, anybody want them? Julia" So i thought, well thats a good enough reason to give them away, so i replied to the advert, and an hour or so later i got a reply (hand written answering my questions) then she said, there registered in my name at the moment, you'll need to go here and put them into your name *insert cpa link", then i'll pop them in the post for you, let me know when your done!" I thought it was very convincing, if i hadnt seen the CPA offer a million times before id have probably fallen for it since it took me so off guard.

Commercial Integrator Europe interviews Michel Deluc, director of research and development at Amadeus, who opens up about the recent custom install for the prestigious Philharmonie de Paris concert hall's studios, using tailor-made Amadeus loudspeakers
Amadeus has announced the completion of an impressive install and acoustical design project for the Philharmonie de Paris concert hall studios. Having already created the custom 'Philharmonia' speakers specifically for the install, Amadeus recently installed detailed acoustical treatment and monitoring systems into the Paris concert hall studios, managed by acoustician Michel Deluc, co-founder and R&D manager for Amadeus brands.
Amadeus Labs collaborated with the studio's sound engineers on the project, while continuing to work alongside Jean Nouvel, the Philharmonie de Paris' very own architect and designer.
Built to immortalise the performances of the world's most prestigious symphonic orchestras, the Philharmonie de Paris mixing and mastering studios required a monitoring system of upmost transparency, placed in the highest-level optimised acoustic spaces.
"Our collaboration with the Philharmonie de Paris began in 2011 with the development of 14 customised point source speakers for the acoustical canopy of the Symphonic Hall," Michel tells CIE.
"The custom-made and standard equipment we developed, built and installed in the various spaces inside the Philharmonie de Paris (including the large rehearsal space, education and musical initiation rooms, music exhibition room, surround sound studios and grand symphonic hall) were submitted to competitive bidding following regular public market procedures."
Amadeus was approved after comparative listening tests by users, administrators, scenographers and other decision-makers within the Philharmonie de Paris.
"The collaboration with Jean Nouvel on the 'Philharmonia' project started after the main process of electroacoustical development started," he continues. "The new speakers' genesis actually dates back to 2005. At that time, I was beginning my experimentations with hybrid acoustic loads, based on mass-spring-mass systems. The curved shape of Philharmonia, ending with this unique hybrid, laminated port machined in wood, originates in his findings. An advanced version of the Philharmonia speakers were submitted in 2014 to the Philharmonie de Paris future users for comparative listening tests.
"The new speakers immediately showed the distinguished the intrinsic characteristics of the greatest monitoring systems: timbral transparency, extended bandwidth, perfect impulse response, wide and accurate stereo image, outstanding layering of sound planes – all crowned by remarkable dynamics," Michel elaborates.
"The distinctive construction technique of Philharmonia helps neutralise standing waves affecting sonic clarity and low-frequency definition, through an extremely complex internal structure using a combination of interlocking panels arranged in two perpendicular planes, each hosting several tuned notch resonators"
"We subsequently asked the team of Ateliers Jean Nouvel to work on the system's aesthetics in order to find the best way to bring out the basic speaker aesthetics, as well as create the associated pedestal. The first two ideas suggested by Jean Nouvel were key: a pedestal that furthers the shape of the speaker, creating a monolithic sonic ensemble housing all the electronics, and building the speaker out of thin wood veneers, glued and carefully aligned."
Having acoustics and electro-acoustics match up is a basic premise of the manufacturer's design philosophy when designing and outfitting spaces dedicated to creation, mixing, mastering, postproduction or dubbing, or just high-level listening, among other tasks.
The main Philharmonie de Paris rehearsal room hosts not only public orchestra rehearsals, but also pre-concert events, conferences and chamber music/amplified music concerts. The 'Studio Salle de Répétition' is equipped with a tailor-made acoustical treatment, very similar to the treatment used in the 'Studio Grande Salle'. Each studio is equipped with a unique surround monitoring system, made up of five Amadeus Philharmonia speakers, along with an Amadeus 'ML 15 D' subwoofer.
The Philharmonia features a curved structure that is both simple and complex, consisting of 547 wood veneers accurately machined and assembled, offering a distinctive look and volume. It features a unique hybrid laminar port using progressive termination.
The acoustics Michel designs encompass various techniques he acquired, imagined and developed during the last 30 years whilst designing various complex spaces.
"The distinctive construction technique of Philharmonia helps neutralise standing waves affecting sonic clarity and low-frequency definition, through an extremely complex internal structure using a combination of interlocking panels arranged in two perpendicular planes, each hosting several tuned notch resonators," Michel explains.
"The aerodynamics of Philharmonia speakers' tuning port is a masterpiece"
"This allows a dramatic decrease in sound coloration through a crossed structure of longitudinal and trans-verse reinforcements. Having acoustics and electro-acoustics match up is a basic premise of our design philosophy when designing and outfitting spaces dedicated to creation, mixing, mastering, postproduction or dubbing, or just high-level listening, among other tasks.
"Our inclusive approach and dual expertise have made us able to create perfectly imagined spaces where the acoustical response has been perfected, ready to house the monitoring systems we design in parallel. We have many successes in the field of acoustical and/or electro-acoustical custom design."
The complexity of the project lay in its heterogeneous and diverse aspects. The Philharmonie de Paris building complex includes a variety of spaces dedicated to creation, each of them bearing their own acoustical, technical and aesthetical properties.
"At the core of this set of spaces is the symphonic hall with its capacity of 2,400 seats," Michel states. "A number of spaces are situated around the hall, including two large rehearsal rooms, five medium size rehearsal rooms, 10 rehearsal studios, a temporary exhibition space, a conference room, two recording studios. Hence, every stage of the process, from preparation, development, implementation or in-situ calibration – was different and dedicated to each of the spaces."
"Imagine a reference sound system with exceptional design, ergonomics and acoustics," enthuses Bernard BYK, CEO at Amadeus, reflecting on the new Philharmonia speakers. "Jean Nouvel's imagination, exuberance and creative genius, combined with Michel Deluc's engineering, brought a brilliant solution to life. Amadeus especially praises tradition, and the new speakers combine innovation as well as timeless beauty; christened 'Philharmonia', they embody the know-how, the creativity, and the values with which Amadeus has been building its history for more than 35 years."
"The aerodynamics of Philharmonia speakers' tuning port is a masterpiece," Michel nods. "It has been largely empirical – inspired by aesthetic aspects – and based on hybrid low-velocity laminar ports using progressive termination. This leads to a rather complex and major technological innovation, whose theory is still in its infancy."
Equipment installed in the 'Studio Grande Salle'
* Amadeus Labs designed Helmholtz resonator, placed in front of the room, to control sub-bass frequencies
* Amadeus Labs designed diaphragm-based resonator, placed in front of the room, including two low-Q subsets [the first is tuned to 100Hz, the second to 56Hz].
* Dual Amadeus Labs designed hybrid diffusors, placed on the sides of the room, including three nested subsets (diaphragm-based resonator, wide range absorber, diffusor), treating the frequencies between 200Hz and 1000Hz.
* Three Amadeus Labs designed diaphragm-based resonators placed at the read of the room [two are tuned to 100Hz, the third to 84Hz].
* Two Amadeus Labs designed diaphragm-based resonator placed at the rear sides, tuned to 100Hz.
* Amadeus Labs designed hybrid diaphragm-based resonator including two superposed subsets (diaphragm-based resonator, mid-frequency absorber), treating the frequencies between 150Hz and 600Hz, is placed behind every Philharmonia monitor, to attenuate the residual energy emitted by their vent.
* Two diffusors placed on the sides of the room, treating the frequencies between 1500Hz and 6000Hz.
- Acoustically optimised furniture, with low acoustical footprint, hosting a 'Lawo mc2 56' digital mixing console.
The 'Philharmonia' speakers: In Depth
The new Philharmonia two-way, self-powered speakers feature a 28-mm soft-dome tweeter and a custom 8in woofer, and boast analogue and digital inputs with a customised integrated DAC and an amplitude linearity range (±2dB) from 43Hz to 22KHz. The high-frequency driver features very low dielectric losses and high thermal conductivity, loaded behind a fast exponential waveguide machined in wood, which yields exceptional control over spatial dispersion.
The cabinets are custom manufactured from layered Birch and stand 1.6m tall, the casing contains the electronics inside the lower part of the speaker enclosure. Each speaker is comprised of 547 wood veneers, accurately machined, aligned and glued.
Each speaker features a hybrid laminar port using progressive termination for reproducing low frequencies. Machined into the wood material along the full height of the speaker system, the very low velocity port yields optimal linearity for the lowest possible distortion.
Philharmonia is bi-amplified using two dedicated very high resonance digital custom-built amplifiers, each amp delivers 700W under 8ohms. These proprietary PPM-PWM fixed frequency class-D amplifiers are equipped with a high-efficiency switched mode power supply. Each speaker channel is under control by a powerful, 64-bit digital processing unit capable of a 118dB dynamic range.
Each of these on-board DSP units include a module dedicated to managing core system parameters including system EQ, time alignment between sections, limiting, transducer thermal protection. This level of control makes Philharmonia fully protected and able to operate at the full extent of its abilities.
With line-level XLR analogue input, Philharmonia lets users choose their own DAC, while at the same time, given that digital-to-analogue conversion should happen at the latest possible stage in an electro-acoustical monitoring system, Philharmonia also integrates two digital inputs/outputs conforming to the AES3 digital audio data transfer standard.
These are coupled with a high-resolution 24-bit/96kHz converter placed as close as possible to the electronic amplifiers, thus working together in perfect combination. The speakers also feature an RJ-45 network input allowing remote control of its DSP processor for optimal adjustment via dedicated software to match the speakers to the acoustical properties of each listening space. The software is an app that runs on Apple Macintosh and iPad, and Microsoft Windows computers.
As always, a huge part of speaker design is the components.
"They have been carefully selected, evaluated, listened to, and combined," Michel explains. "The amplifier includes a built-in DSP module, with digital filtering functions such as system EQ, time alignment between HF and LF sections, limiter parameters, thermal protection of the transducers, and more." He adds a personal note about the low-frequency port, "The aerodynamics of Philharmonia's tuning ports is a masterpiece. It has been largely empirical, inspired by aesthetic aspects, and based on hybrid low-velocity laminar ports using progressive termination. This leads to a rather complex and major technological innovation, whose theory is still in its infancy."

The last six months for Geno Smith have been a wild ride. In 2011, West Virginia put billboards around town boasting the team's 70-33 victory over Clemson in the Orange Bowl. Last season was a much different scene. The Mountaineers earn a trip to the Pinstripe Bowl only to be downed by Syracuse 38-14.
Smith moves on. He shows up to the NFL Combine and beats all QBs in the 40-yard dash (4.59) and broad jump, tying Andrew Luck's 10-foot-4 leap last year, and records the second-highest vertical jump among his peers (33.5).
But when the scouting report is released, he is disappointed again. Nolan Nawrocki paints him as a meek leader with minimal drive. He highlights a "nonchalant field presence — does not command respect from teammates and cannot inspire", "mild practice demeanor", and "not committed or focused — marginal work ethic."
As to why Smith's name has been thrown into the mix of so many draft analyses, Nawrocki chalked that up to Smith being "an overhyped product of the system."
So goes the ebb and flow of emotions held by players entering the big leagues. Those ups and downs shouldn't be given too much gravity, however, which is why Smith's reaction to Nawrocki's report is so telling. Smith's decision to retaliate verbally, similar to a child complaining to his mother his older brother isn't sharing, justifies his current standing among QBs in the draft — most mock drafts now rank him in sixth.
To Smith's credit, Nawrocki is a member of the media, not associated with an NFL team, and has been known to rip players apart (see Cam Newton circa 2011). Smith's work ethic has never been disputed by football insiders and is even known for being an avid student of game film.
But when Robert Griffin III bemoaned how hard he was being hit by opposing offenses, he merely highlighted his amateurishness. Professional football players need to be as tough in mind as they are in body, and Smith may have lost that self-portrayal in this unfortunate instance.
Smith will have to hope his numbers will speak for themselves. His athleticism at the Combine was impressive, and his rank in each category puts him in good company, including the aforementioned Griffin who, of course, eventually settled in to NFL-level play.
Looking solely at the numbers, Smith is the top QB going into the fast-approaching draft. But, his numbers drop off when you look at the big picture. In any sport, big numbers in solo activities like jumps and dashes won't hold water with a player who can't jump over a pile and into the endzone, nor will it for a player whose dash is muted by an NFL-level defensive stand.
The numbers will bear well for Smith, but factors like reputation and graceful leave of the NCAA, or lack thereof, will boost or denigrate a player's draft standing as well.
Smith opted not to play in the Senior Bowl and the Mountaineers' lopsided loss to Syracuse will not go unnoticed, nor will the fact that Smith was at the helm. Smith will be a good fit for teams looking to increase their proficiency at the QB position, but not for teams looking for a successful overhaul in that position.

better color than copics
By Tata
from Pennsylvania
copic markers tend to be too dark in some colors. I prefer a lighter blue, when the cap of the marker is light blue. this isn't always the case. however, with the lemon yellow and persian blue, and emerald green, I got a nice accurate color and not runny. i use these for coloring and doodle art. i also design mazes and labyrinths on paper. these are great for a very light and delicate thin line into a more bold line. beautiful.in terms of other brush pens, i have only used Pitt pens which are good but Zig is the best for art.

A wonderful coloring option
By Noni3
from Norfolk, VA
I really enjoy using these pens. The real brush tip gives you the feel of using an actual watercolor brush. These don't work well on all papers, but on watercolor paper and Bristol smooth paper they blend beautifully with each other and with water. I got a set of 12 to try and was so impressed I'm buying individual colors from Blick to gradually build up my collection. I don't think you need the full set of 80 because they're a lot of grays and a lot of colors that are similar. I use them in my card making and in my watercolor projects.
Great Buy!

These are the first true art markers I have ever purchased. I love them! So easy and fun to use and they do not smear. I will be buying more of these!
Very fine brush tips for detail work
By floridashopper1
from Flagler Beach, FL
I used the brush pens for some very fine detail work on a watercolor painting that I was completing. I don't know if I will use them again for this, because the color ran when I touched it after it dried when I was painting around it. I liked the pens, because I didn't have to keep loading my very fine paint brushes. I was disappointed that it ran.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

These colors are clean and sharp to use. A little goes a long way. I also appreciate how detailed you can be with the fine points on the nibs. I believe these will hold up well and not fray or squish into a larger line as time passes. I am pleased with the blending abilities also they feel nice in your hand.

I am reaching for these boots a lot this fall, as seen worn with...
the above slouchy track pant.
and many more not pictured.
So this is my argument for investment pieces in your wardrobe. Of course investment pieces are going to be different for everybody, it could be these or these. Don't get me wrong there is such a thrill in finding a great pair of shoes on crazy sale that you never knew you needed until that moment, but there is such satisfaction and dare I say, a sense of treasure and accomplishment in the waiting and saving for an item you have had your eye on for months or years.
These boots have been the apple of my bootie eye for over a year, and the most expensive shoe I have ever boughten {or bought??}, I was almost embarrassed to wear them on the blog. I hunted for something I liked better at a lower price point and I hunted even harder to find these on sale.
With no luck.
I saved up and combined with some gift credit I bought them. They are my favorite.
There is also a strong argument for buying an item you have searched for and love, rather than settling, so that you {meaning I} will actually wear said item a lot, and love wearing them, instead of letting it gather dust in your closet because "hey, there were super inexpensive anyways."
A few points on Investing {in fashion.}
1. Buy something you love, that you feel amazing wearing, no compromise {no matter the price point.}
2. Investment pieces should stand the test of time. Buy quality, usually the more expensive an item the more quality the craftmanship and material, the longer they will last and the better they will wear. Besides spending a lot, if you love an item, you are wearing it a lot, and you want them to last! And be comfortable. I won't be power shopping in my booties, but they are really comfortable, having molded to my feet without losing their shape.
3. If you aren't in the business of buying high priced items on a regular basis, spend the money on classic, neutral pieces. There is always an argument for red shoes, if you will wear them everyday then I suppose that is your neutral, but starting with more neutral pieces in classic styles is smart investing. Neutral colors are going to stay current longer and you will wear them for years.
4. Set a goal - save up for an item. It satisfies and gives you a sense of accomplishment.
5. Be a savvy shopper. Often times items that don't normally go on sale will be part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale {usually last 3 weeks of July} or Shopbop Friends and Family Sale {usually Feb and Oct}, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Saks 5th Ave {for example} are all worth checking. Also ask for gift cards for Christmas or your birthday to put towards an item.

There are my two cents on investment pieces, and I feel like I've addressed the elephant in the room {well, in my head}, so thank you for listening!
not to forget the wonderful world of plaid sweaters this seasons, here are some other awesome knits...

Every time I turn around, it seems that Pleasure Island beaches keep landing in various top 10 lists. With this latest accolade, it looks like I'll have to create a new "Top Ten" label for the index.
This latest honor goes to the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area which has been named in the Global Animal "Top 10 Dog-Friendly Beaches for 2011" list. Specifically, Fort Fisher came in ninth place with Del Mar Beach in San Diego, California taking first place.
Global Animal sought out to find fantastic seaside spots for owners and their four legged best friends to enjoy together.
Maybe next year, they'll add Freeman Park to the list.

We didn't want to leave the property to go see anywhere else. It was breathtakingly beautiful and serene. You should be aware that the alfresco kitchen is definitely outdoors. When the weather is good, it's lovely. But there was one morning it was just too cold and windy and we retreated to town for breakfast.

This paper introduces a three dimensional (3D) thermal lattice Boltzmann method for the simulation of electron beam melting processes. The multi-distribution approach incorporates a state-of-the-art volume of fluid free surface method to handle the complex interaction between gas, liquid, and solid phases. The paper provides a detailed explanation of the modeling of the electron beam gun properties, such as the absorption rate and the energy dissipation. Additionally, an algorithm for the construction of a realistic powder bed is discussed. Special emphasis is placed to a parallel, optimized implementation due to the high computational costs of 3D simulations. Finally, a thorough validation of the heat equation and the solid-liquid phase transition demonstrates the capability of the approach to considerably improve the electron beam melting process. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Selective electron beam melting (SEBM) is perhaps the fastest production process for additive manufacturing techniques from powder beds. In the present investigation, scan speeds of 10 m s-1 have been used successfully for the melting. Nevertheless, the beam power has to be adjusted to guarantee a density of more than 99.5% for the build samples. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of the scan speed and beam power on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V. Therefore, a process map with a window for samples with a density higher than 99.5% and a good geometrical accuracy was developed. But, there are strong differences in microstructure and the resulting mechanical properties. These differences result from changes in the total energy input. In the presented work, strength is found to increase somewhat with decreasing volume energy (60-30 J mm-3) at a scan speed of 4 m s-1 as the cooling rate increases. This causes a change in microstructure, as the α platelet size varies in the range between 400 nm and 1.3 μm. Thus, an increase in ultimate tensile strength of 5% could be realized by adjusted energy input. © 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

2015-16 Race Partner Charity Activation Highlights
Unicef used the Clipper Race to talk Climate Change in China
The Clipper Race and our Official Race Charity Unicef joined forces in Qingdao to highlight a subject China is putting more and more emphasis on; that is the role children have in addressing climate change and creating a clean environment for future generations.
With World Water Day taking place on 22
March, local students from the Ocean University of China and middle schools
from Qingdao and Beijing were invited to attend a forum entitled "Set Sail for a
Low Carbon Life". The format was a live discussion on how young people could be
a catalyst for action in addressing environmental challenges.
The forum made the most of the latest technology by creating an app and live chat forum which enabled the event to be paperless and the reach to extend much beyond the capacity of the room.

Education on policy through interaction with Unicef projects
Unicef used the Clipper Race as a means to educate on the policy work it does at government level throughout the world which will continue 'until every child is safe'.
A number of visits gave children from local Unicef projects a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage with the Clipper Race, climb aboard the racing yachts and meet with crew members.
In Panama, children from local projects were introduced to crew members to understand the value and opportunity offered by the marine industry.
One of the most moving moments came
in Vietnam when Clipper Race crew and staff were invited to The DAVA Centre in
Da Nang to see first-hand how Unicef supports children with disabilities in the

Hello everyone!!
I wanted to share my thoughts on the L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder. I've used it for about 2 weeks with and without a primer. I've also used powder to set it and I also tried not setting it with powder.
The coverage is sheer to light and slightly buildable, but not too much. The liquid is true to it's name, it gives you a "nude" finish. Your skin still shows through and will not cover major imperfections if that's what you're looking for in a foundation. My favorite way to wear it is with a primer, concealer and a light coat of powder to set my t-zone.
It does not last all day but it will hold up for a decent amount of time (4-6 hours), especially if you set it. The consistency is pretty runny and messy to use. I applied it with my fingers as suggested on the bottle. I feel that a brush or sponge would soak up the product. I would suggest maybe going over problem areas with a flat brush to build it up though. On the bright side, it does absorb rather quickly into a semi-matte yet silky finish.
The before and after is with one coat of the liquid.
I would not recommend this for dry skin, this will stick to dry patches. I had a small dry patch by my nose and it really magnified it. As far as packaging, I think it's a nice glass bottle but beyond inconvenient- especially since they recommend using your fingers to apply. It could get pretty messy when you're in a hurry!
The L'oreal website says:
Get the ultimate un-makeup look with Magic Nude Liquid Powder Bare Skin Perfecting Makeup with SPF 18. Revolutionary liquid transforms on contact, leaving a soft powder like finish. This foundation is so amazingly lightweight it's like wearing no makeup at all! Just shake and apply – it's magic!
- Not for dry skin
- Sheer to light coverage to reveal a fresh faced look
- Better with a primer since this does not reduce the appearance of large pores
- Lasted for 4-6 hours
- Does not feel heavy at all
- It does contain broad spectrum SPF 18
- The spout and packaging are not convenient
- Doesn't crease
- Buff Beige #324 was a match for my skin
- Covers redness
- Comes in 12 shades
- Retails for $12.95
I hope you liked this post, comment with any questions or to share your own experience!

City Council opposes cuts to state revenue sharing, dumping tax
Rockland — The City Council voted 5-0 Jan. 13 to urge the Legislature to preserve the Municipal Revenue Sharing Program to avoid cuts in town services and increases in property taxes.
For more than 40 years, the state has reserved about 5 percent of sales taxes collected in Maine towns and cities to share with municipalities, which helps with the local property tax burden.
"The state's last-minute cuts to the Municipal Revenue Sharing Program for the FY 2014 and FY 2015 biennial budget threw municipal budgets for FY 2014 into disarray, necessitating draconian budget cuts, layoffs and tax increases in towns and cities across the state," the council states in its resolve.
In Rockland, the cuts forced the city to eliminate four positions, reduce hours in two other positions and spend $150,000 from reserve funds.
The council also voted 5-0 to oppose LD 1483, which would add a $14 per ton fee or tax on trash disposal. The measure could cost Rockland $70,000 per year. The Legislature will decide on the bill.
The council voted 5-0 to postpone continued discussions of a bond ordinance for a new public works garage until March 10.
The council voted 5-0 to have the acting city manager look into options for leasing to interested parties the city-owned former Sea Scouts building at Snow Marine Park.
In the fall, the city was approached by individuals and organizations interested in leasing or purchasing the building and some surrounding land.
The Harbor Management Commission has recommended that leasing the building is better for the city in the long-term than selling it.
Mayor Larry Pritchett said previously he knew one of the parties interested is a sea kayak rental that hopes to operate out of the building this spring/summer season.
Temporary City Manager Thomas Luttrell informed the council at the meeting that the city was unsuccessful in its application for a grant to fund extending Rockland's boardwalk across Harbor Park at the public landing. The council authorized city staff in November to go after the $200,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant to fund the project.
Community Development Director John Holden said he is looking into why the city did not receive the grant. He said Jan. 14 he heard the state did not receive as much federal funding as it had anticipated. It had about $200,000 total to award and received more than $660,000 in requests for funding. Out of six proposed projects, it funded two, he said.
Councilor Eric Hebert also announced that Rotary Winter Carnival, which had been planned for Feb. 2 has been canceled.

The following is An OPEN LETTER to the CCMBC Board of Faith and Life and the CCMBC Executive Board (regarding the issues raised in the Letters column above). It was sent directly to the board on March 3, 2017 and we, the undersigned, post it here as a means of opening up the dialogue to the national MB constituency.
As a national family, it is clear we are living in a time of transition and challenge. Naming the issues that lie before us as a CCMBC will allow us to collaboratively work together in preserving the unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:3).
We value that the Executive Board has taken steps to respond to the motion approved at Gathering 2016 to significantly reduce 2017 ministry spending. This is not an easy mandate to implement but we esteem the follow-through and responsiveness to the voices of member churches speaking into the financial health of the CCMBC that this demonstrates. We also appreciate that the Executive Board has taken steps to increase communication with the constituency. Greater information, transparency and responsiveness to feedback are helpful.
There are three specific challenges that lie before us which we wish to highlight and to request action on.
1. Financial Transparency – We repeat the call for CCMBC leadership to provide greater transparency and greater clarity with regard to the denomination's current fiscal health. Incomplete information in financial updates that makes it impossible to project year-end results in both the church ministries division as well as in Legacy Corp. are frustrating. The absence of clear reports that show the relationship between actual expenditures and budget approved amounts is troubling, particularly when there is a multi-year track record of financial deterioration. Owner congregations have a right to expect regular, accurate, complete reporting on the last decade of CCMBC finances including the evolution of Stewardship Ministries into the Legacy Fund, ongoing budgeting priorities and existing and potential funding models. Despite repeated assurances of movement toward regulatory fiscal compliance, Legacy has yet to be registered as an official entity. What are the outstanding issues that are holding up this application and what is the timeline for addressing them? Clarity on financial matters is especially essential when hiring an Executive Director as well as discerning the potential merger of MB Mission and C2C in November of 2017.
Action Requested: We formally request the Executive Board to publish and disseminate the 2016 CCMBC consolidated financial statements, the 2017 budget adjustments (in response to the motion approved at Gathering 2016) and to host another finance update conference call before April 30 to answer any questions.
Driven By: It is our conviction that the publication of up-to-date, detailed statements will build relational equity and confidence between owner congregations, the Executive Board and the CCMBC finance team.
2. Defining our Theology of Leadership – We were all saddened when existing leadership dynamics within the national office resulted in the need for dismissal of then Executive Director Willy Reimer. We were reminded of the difficult nature of the Executive Board's responsibilities. Prior to, then, and subsequently, the Executive Board has publically disclosed the need for evaluation and change. We believe as member churches we have a responsibility to speak into both the preferred structure and desired style of leadership.
Across the nation there is clear evidence of a shared sense of frustration among pastors and ministry leaders about a lack of transparency, poor communication, leadership styles that are controlling and manipulative. With diminishing platforms of conversation and dialogue supplied within our Conference structures, the need for robust dialogue and the exchange of a wide variety of viewpoints on key issues subsequently found alternative expression through private conservations, regional gatherings, phone calls, texts and email threads. While this has been helpful for a few people, it has had limited benefit to the whole family.
Action Requested: We formally request the BFL to create a family dialogue event prior to November 2017 which will allow a space and place to discuss the theological foundations of our leadership structures and styles, including the criteria required to discern the choice of our new Executive Director. To be clear, we are not submitting that a new E.D. be in place prior to the November 2017 AGM: only that member churches be offered the opportunity to be heard regarding the criteria required for discernment of this important position.
Driven By: It is our sense that restricted conversational platforms allow assumptions and mistaken information to sometimes hold sway. We are in favour of face-to-face interaction when and wherever possible in addition to any electronic or virtual platforms such as provided through the MB Herald and, or, video conferencing in the future.
3. Potential Merger of MB Mission and C2C – We wish to express concern around how this proposal is being processed. As reported at the CCMBC family meeting in Vancouver on February 9, 2017, the EB is bringing forward a motion proposing that MB Mission take responsibility for C2C which is to be voted on by delegates at our Nov 2017 AGM. While the appointed taskforce has no doubt been working hard at discerning the rationale for this merger, any public documentation of their efforts has to date been heavy on vision and light on specifics. Member churches and the owner congregations have been supplied no substantial data, no levels of discernment, no financial or operational audit of either C2C or MB Mission, no indication of any critical assessment detailing whether there would be in terms of relational capital, a gain or loss with a merger, no report supplying us the short and long-term effect upon international and domestic ministries, no report of how this potential merger might affect ICOMB and ICOMB-member national conferences.
The Executive Board is requesting the delegation at our November 2017 AGM to possibly make one of the most critical decisions in decades without honouring owner congregations with information upon which to make such a decision or any substantial platform of conversation upon which to dialogue together over information. More detailed documentation is needed in order to help discern the legitimacy, need, or opportunity such a decision may have upon our long-term welfare. Provincial conventions are not the place to do CCMBC business and the task force and/or the Executive Board, not the organizations themselves should be reporting on their assigned mandate to the constituency who empowered them with it.
Action Requested: We formally request the Task Force and the Executive Board disseminate a detailed report at least two months in advance of our Nov AGM outlining the organizational, financial and theological rationales that have been considered in formulating their formal recommendation to the constituency.
Driven By: It is our belief that such a critical decision be entered into with as much prudence as possible and that Conference leadership owes a responsibility to honour member churches/owner congregations with the necessary information upon which to make such a decision so that the delegation can return to our churches with the appropriate information necessary to inform delegates to the November 2017 AGM.
We acknowledge this to be a season of "heavy lifting" and so we want to be part of the solution. As fellow servants and leaders, we desire to support and assist the Executive Board and the Board of Faith and Life. Know that we are in prayer for you, your families, as well as the ministries that you serve in and oversee.
With sincere respect and deep love,
Brad Sumner (Jericho Ridge Church, Langley, BC)

Manufacturer bets big on HPP technology
The Florida-based company is investing heavily in high-pressure processing (HPP), a processing method that relies on elevated pressure, rather than heat, to kill microbes and otherwise transform food items. The tech is gaining ground because of its ability to preserve food quality, keep freshness and extend shelf life.
Processing partnership
Stakool is joining forces with a US-based HPP processor to help its entry into HPP and consumer food products. Kevin Quirk, president and CEO, says while its area of speciality (health and wellness products) is growing, opportunities abound in food products.
"There are still too many people who do not have access to affordable nutritional options," he said. "HPP can change that, allowing us to boost food safety, extend shelf-life and improve margins, while providing all consumers with fresh, wholesome, natural food at an affordable price."
Quirk declined to name Stakool's HPP partner, because the ink is not yet dry on the final arrangement.
Consumer products
In addition to tackling HPP-produced products, Stakool has created its Consumer Products Group, which will hone in on creating brands and deploying products using the technology. According to Stakool representatives, leadership has faith that the group will lead to significant growth, as it brings all-natural and organics brands into the fold.
Going forward, Quirk said, Stakool intends to acquire established natural-food brands, convert them to HPP and launch them with refreshed branding campaigns.

Life is always full of changes, some good and some bad. I try to remember that change, by itself, isn't necessarily a bad thing, even though it can have bad results. However, change always seems to catch me off-guard, even when I'm the one seeking out the change.
Recently, I've started re-evaluating my life. We're going through fertility treatments, which brings about a lot of stress, and work piles up on top of everything. I love the people who I work with, including my boss, which is what has made this job as tolerable as it has been for as long as it has. But, I'm quickly realizing that this isn't a sustainable job for me, and I would like to look for a new role where I could be happier, more effective, and more valuable to our company.
Last week, I was approached by a colleague regarding a job opening. She is looking for someone to work in sales and marketing, covering our Asian accounts. It would involve international travel, and it would be more in line with the work that I did while living in Europe (which I was quite comfortable with and enjoyed). It would be a good career move for me, and I know that I'd enjoy the work (as well as be good at it), but initially I still wasn't sure. I spoke with my current boss and with J, and they both encouraged me to go for it.
Yesterday, I applied. I'm on pins and needles wondering if I'll get the job or not. I hate feeling emotionally invested in something, because it only lets you down if you don't get it. I need to stay positive and remember that the manager approached ME, not the other way around, which has to mean something. I'll keep you all updated, but I'm hoping that this is the first of many changes coming up for me!
Much love,

Create a Campaign
- Campaign Information. The campaign's name and description. This information will be presented to the buyers, so be as descriptive as possible.
- Ad Design. Ad type (Image/Link) and settings (Size, number, columns…).
- Contract Type. Select if you are selling by duration, page views or clicks, as well as your price.
That's it. Now this campaign already defines a lot about your Ad.
Up next is how to put your Ad into your template, as well as how to customize it with CSS and JavaScript.
Integrate your Ads
- Widgets. The easiest way to do it. We already have an AdPress Widget, which you can use to drag and drop the widget to the sidebar of your choice. From there, change the title and select the campaign you want to run.
- ShortCodes. Another easy option. However, shortcodes are only useful inside a blog post or a page. Most of the time, this won't be the case, as you'll be looking for something that displays in every page or blog post without having to enter it every time.
- PHP Code. This involves editing your Theme templates. It's relatively easy and straightforward if you have some experience with HTML and PHP, but otherwise it may be a little bit difficult.
Widget Integration
In order to use AdPress as a widget, your template has to have widget-compatible sidebars. Most templates have a right sidebar that's customizable on your WordPress Appearance menu- premium options may have additional sidebars, too. Once you have a compatible template, you can add the AdPress widget more than once, as well as customize its title and the campaign it'll display.
ShortCodes Integration
If you plan to insert the Ad inside a blog post or page text, shortcodes are the way to go. You usually shouldn't be doing this, however, as you'll need to enter the code for every blog post you publish.
To insert your shortcode, use the following code:
[adpress campaign=5]
Each campaign has a unique ID. In the AdPress Campaigns page you can find the associated ID for each campaign.
Template Integration
Template Integration is definitely the most powerful option, but also the most difficult. This requires a level of expertise with HTML/CSS, as well as PHP. Here's some code:
<?php if (function_exists(display_campaign)) { display_campaign(1); } ?&g t;
Customize Ad Appearance
Customizing Ad appearance is possible with AdPress. AdPress generates an HTML list (UL) where Ads are HTML items (LI), regardless of the kind of Ad you're using.
This is a sample of the default generated code for an Image Ad Campaign:

With AdPress, it's possible to change the generated code for the HTML items. This generated code can be found in AdPress->Settings->Image Ad for Image Ads and AdPress->Settings->Link Ad for Link Ads.
Editing HTML
The HTML can be found in the AdPress->Settings->Image Ad and AdPress->Settings->Link Ad. The following is the default code for both of them. Note that this HTML code is mixed with AdPress variables, and that these variables will be replaced when AdPress generates the Ads Code.
Default code for the Image Ad

- url The target ad's URL
- image_src The ad's image source URL
Default code for the Flash Ad

  <embed style="position: absolute;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="@swf_src" quality="high" wmode="transparent" height="@banner_height" width="@banner_width">

- url The target ad's URL
- swf_src The Flash banner source
- banner_height The banner height (px)
- banner_width The banner width (px)
Default code for the Link Ad

 @link_text

- url The target ad's URL
- link_text The text of the Link Ad
Styling items with CSS
Beyond changing the HTML code, you can also edit and add styling to the generated HTML code. AdPress comes with the simple, default CSS styling.
CSS Code for the Image Ad
.image-campaign { list-style: none; } .image-campaign li { display: list-item; float: left; padding: 0; margin: 5px; }
CSS Code for the Flash Ad
.flash-campaign { list-style: none; } .flash-campaign li { display: list-item; float: left; padding: 0; margin: 5px; } .flash-campaign li div { position: relative; } .flash-campaign li div a { position: absolute; z-index: 9999; display: block; }
CSS Code for the Link Ad
.link-campaign { } .link-campaign li { color: #777; font-size: 15px; }
Adding JavaScript Effects
It's possible to add JavaScript effects to the generated Ads code. AdPress has no special support for this, so you need to add the code yourself. AdPress Ads lists has a class. (image-campaign for Image Ads, and link-campaign for Link Ads).
; (function($) { $(document).ready(function() { $('.image-campaign li').hover(function() { $(this).animate({ 'opacity':1 }); }, function() { $(this).animate({ 'opacity':0.5 }); }); }); })(jQuery);
CTA Ads
It's cool to have all your Ad Spots all the time, however, in the real world this happens very little. This is why we have made a CTA Ad feature. (CTA meaning Call To Action.)
This new feature, implemented in version 2.0, will help sell your vacant spots.
How does it work?
When there is an available spot in your campaign, AdPress will display your CTA Ad. This is typically an empty image with a text of "Advertise here" for both ad types.
The target URL of this Ad is a link that you can specify. It should be a landing page that gives the user information about advertising on your website, should they be interested.
Note that the CTA Ad only appears when there is are empty spots. Only one CTA Ad will be displayed.
Click the Ad CTA Checkbox to enable this feature. If you are using an Image Ad, you'll need to upload an image, and enter the target URL. If you are using a Link Ad, you'll need to enter the ad text and also the target URL.

When cleaning the coils on your refrigerator always remember rule number 1, unplug it first. I was cleaning the coils and hit the fan blade while it was moving with a brush, thus breaking off one of the fan blades. I ordered a new fan and installed it in about 15 minutes. Very easy repair.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Really, really, really easy:1.Unplug refrigerator (electrical safety). 2.Remove cardboard cover at bottom of refrigerator (two short self-tapping bolts) with a wrench.3.Pull old fan blade off fan motor shaft (just held on by a compression fitting--no tools needed).4.Push new fan blade on shaft.5. Replace cardboard cover.6. Plug in refrigerator, write nasty letter to Frigidaire.
Pull refrigerator away from wall, being careful not to kink or break water line to ice maker, unplug refrigerator. Using 1/4" nutdriver, remove cardboard lower rear panel, bottom lifts out. Fan and motor are now directly in front of you, grasp the moter to stablize it, and using your other hand, pull fan hub from motor shaft. Be sure motor shaft is clean before reinstalling new fan blade, press new bladr onto motor shaft, until center of blade is centered on outlet side of fan housing. spin blade by hand to insure clearance. Plug refrigerator in and observe operation of fan, refrigerator needs to be calling for cooling for this fan to operate. Reinstall cardboard panel and move refrigerator back into position.
The broken fan made my refrigerator sound like a lawn mower I pulled the refrigerator out of it's nook and disconnected the power, removed the back panel with my battery powered drill motor, slid the old fan off of motor shaft, slid the new fan back on ran it to make sure the problem was corrected. The entire repair took less than fifteen minutes and was as simple as it could be. Please be careful when cleaning your coil, as the fan is easily damaged if you should contact it.
I remembered to unplug first. took the little cover off on the bottom, unscrewed the 3 screws. then just held the base that the fan is on and pulled rite off, pushed the other one rite on. it took me five min, i want to say thanks to parts select, had the part, fast shipping, great job, thank you.
Followed video instructions which were to unplug refrigerator, on lower back use screwdriver, loosen 4 screws, take off plastic cover, pull out fan, replace with new fan, replace cover and 4 holding screws, plug in refrigerator. I am female, 77 years old and if I can do it, anyone can.
I remove the old fan by pushing it off the spindle toward the evaporator and put the new one on by holding it on the right side and guiding it on the spindle from the left side, very easy task
Received fan blade part took about 5 min to install and running great.
