About Natural Beauty Clinique
The relentless march of time takes it toll on the skin, leading to the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, and other blemishes over time. At Natural Beauty Clinique, the technicians deploy high-tech contraptions to slow the march of time and reverse some of the effects. These nonsurgical treatments aim to replace invasive treatments, such as face-lifts and liposuction—all while keeping folks comfortable.
Electro body-sculpting sessions can help tone muscles, increase circulation, and rid the body of toxins. Meanwhile, a 3D Sculptaderm system uses radio frequency energy to stimulate collagen production and create a firmer and more youthful appearance across faces, limbs, torsos, and waistlines. Diamond microdermabrasion wands are also on hand as well as a Dermatone computerized electrotherapy device, which contours silhouettes by toning muscles, reducing the appearance of cellulite, and painting vertical stripes directly onto the skin.

Trends are always changing, especially when it comes to fashion jewellery. The latest styles are all about getting noticed. The following is a quick overview of the types of rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that are fashionable right now.
The new twist on rings is using different shapes rather than the conventional circle. Of course, the inner part of the ring is still round for a comfortable fit, but the outside of the ring can be square shaped, ball shaped, or even in the shape of a rose. Resin rings are in style right now, and the brighter the colour, the better.
Some of the latest fashion necklaces are a modern twist on classic styles. For women who want a necklace that is not too flashy, they can opt for a silver chain with a silver charm and semiprecious stone attached. For women who want to get noticed, however, there is a wide array of necklaces with chunky beads to choose from, whether you want a necklace made of resin beads or semiprecious stones.
The trend with earrings today is a splash of colour. Earrings are not typically known for being a beach-friendly type of jewellery, but when they are done up in many colours, they are the perfect accent to any summer outfit. Stylish options include dangling cube earrings, square earrings on a post, or hoop earrings.
Bracelets / Bangles
The latest fashion jewellery seems to follow the trend that bigger is better, and Coco Lush fashion consultant says 'today's fashion bracelets reflect that on going trend'. There are several types to choose from, including bangles and elasticated bracelets. Many modern twists have been applied to fashion bracelets lately; some bangles are square-shaped rather than round, and beaded bracelets incorporate a variety of shapes, textures, and colours for an exotic look.
As a final note, the great advantage to these fashion jewellery trends is that women with sensitive skin who react to certain types of metals can still accessorize because many of these pieces are made from resin. On necklaces, women with sensitive skin can opt for a pendant necklace made from string or rope rather than from silver or gold.
Big bracelets, rings, and detailed necklaces have been in style recently. An added benefit to the latest fashions is that even women who shy away from jewellery due to sensitive skin can still enjoy the latest jewellery fashions.

Quiksilver promotes women! Hang on, what?
Come one, come all to watch the Quiksilver Pro on the Gold Coast!! Everybody is welcome - even women! As long as you're a sick chick who is willing to have guys ogle her and comment on her body openly and in a way that is apparently encouraged by Quiksilver.
But seriously, this is not a joke. That video is on the homepage of video section on the Quiksilver Pro website. On a website that includes women surfers who are also competing. Women who Quiksilver likes to suggest they consider athletes.
I sort of wondered for a while if I would even post the clip here, because posting it is promoting their product and site, so I want you to know that I'm not unaware of the complexity of my including it on my blog in order to critique it. But I also want you to know that I think Quiksilver clearly employs some moronic promotional techniques that encourage and even permit sexist behaviour by men.
And, okay, I get that checking chicks out is historically part of the culture of surfing, but that doesn't make it okay. And the usual argument about 'target audience' that some magazines use to justify their content is not going to fly here. This is a website for a competition that includes both men's and women's professional, competitive surfing. This is a high-profile, world-class competition that surfers (including young people) are going to watch and stream. What I'm trying to say is that the target audience for this website is not only teenage boys (not that that would be any kind of acceptable argument for this pathetic excuse for a promotion anyway). The target audience for this website is 'as many viewers as possible'. So why is this the only clip of women in the home page in the 'Video' section? Especially considering Stephanie Gilmore's barrel this morning, which scored a 9.8!
Oh yeah. That's right. Duh! Because the Quiksilver Pro is only for men. The women's event - the Roxy Pro - is a different competition, which just happens to run concurrently with the men's. Clips of women don't come up on the Quiksilver Pro home page because even though they're all on the same website (because they're the same company) you have to go to the Roxy/Women's section to find them. Marketing can be so confusing sometimes.
And look, I am in no way claiming that this kind of explicitly sexist bullshit is exclusive to Quiksilver, or that it is solely against women whose interest is to sit on the beach watching, rather than doing, surfing. I mean check out this horrendous clip Billabong made to promote Laura Evener, which my friend, Holly, pointed out to me recently.
In case it got lost in translation, Laura Enever is a highly skilled athlete, albeit one who is complicit in increasingly promoting herself as a glamour model. I mean, except that she carries a surfboard briefly, how would you know she surfs. How would you know how well? I'm not sure how Laura Enever feels about this clip - it would be interesting to ask her - but I wonder if she feels at all frustrated at having her looks valued over the years of hard work and commitment she has put into developing her skills as a surfer? I mean, that's what she wants to be, right? A professional, competitive surfer?
As you can tell from my lack of posting recently, I don't really have the time to develop this post any more than this for now (so I hope it's not too rambling). And usually I don't even engage in talking about the blatant sexism that is so rife in culture surrounding surfing as a sport and as an industry. It just depresses me too much and I really don't like getting involved in any kind of critique of professional and competitive women's surfing because it's complicated and tricky - I find everyday surfing culture so much more interesting and fun anyway. But this time I was sparked into fury because I really think that the Quiksilver clip, 'Enjoy the Chicks', is beyond reasonable and is far beyond acceptable, so I have taken the time to write something. Because calling out these kinds of promotions is important (even if it does feel like you're shouting at the moon)!
It's also important for people like me (and you!) to call them out, because I imagine it's hard for the competing girls and women to speak up or out against this kind of thing - their sponsorship is tenuous at best, and professional surfing hates 'outspoken' women (don't even mention feminism!!). So I hold a little hope that some of the men might say something about it. Not for them to implicate the women in how they are treated, but to critique the companies for representing and promoting professional female surfers in this way. Clearly, Mick Fanning is not going to be that man, but I have a hope that some of the other high-profile men might say something, sometime, maybe, one day. Because I know from countless conversations that these are not just 'women's issues' and that not all men think these kinds of clips are okay. In fact, many men I know think it's bullshit as much as I do.
And seriously, it is bullshit.
(And I'm still pissed off that I've even posted those clips on my blog)

Oh, by the way, Mick Fannig has been wearing pink boardshorts during this competition to show his support for women's breast cancer research. Which is great!ReplyDelete
People. I mean we can be so contradictory, huh.
My head hurts.
Wow! I have been surfing for 30 years and seen the progression of women's surfing in the male dominated surfing world. This is an exceptionally sexist video, a huge step back to the 80's. Was it made by a sixteen year old boy going through puberty? Where is all the surfing?ReplyDelete
My personal opinion is that it was made to boost the ego of all the men who can't stand seeing women who surf better than them. Thanks for being brave enough to write this!
Thanks Bec for your great post. I am also a woman surfer who has seen the evolution of womens' surfing, surfing since the early 1960s. Aloha, CherReplyDelete

The whole direction of Quik just changed moments before the start of the comp when the new CEO started a blood bath dropping most of the US Team, many middle management staff and dropping the brands: Quiksilver Women (Steph's sponsor); DC Women and others. Clearly there just isn't enough money in women's surfing for these corporations to even supprt women with product. Make sure you support the brands that do, they are out there and with online shopping it is getting easier.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments.ReplyDelete
And yes, Anonymous, you make a good point. The ways these companies represent women certainly impacts whether I buy from them or not. But then, the unfortunate truth seems to be that their major market is in 'surf fashion', which is more women's clothes that they link to a surfing aesthetic or lifestyle, rather than clothes or products for women who surf. But I get swimmers from Tallow or Gypsy Jacket, I wear old t-shirts instead of rashees, and I live in the subtropics, so don't exactly rush through wetsuits!
Admittedly, I ride longboards, and in longboarding culture, things are a bit better. But not always.

Thanks for writing this. Not always fun to be the one making the critique.ReplyDelete
I like Tetsuhiko Endo's stuff on the topic. At least he's written about it. Yeah, where the hell are the other guys who know a lot of this is bullshit? Surfers have this self-identity as being outsiders. But there's such a herd mentality, and folks don't want to stand out. (Sure, there are different groups in the surfing world. But it's still a pretty small world.)
Hey Rebecca,ReplyDelete
Thankyou for highlighting this!
It is such a contentious topic and a driving force for the business I am trying to build in female surfwear and the surf imagery we want to convey and promote - which aims to showcase talented and strong 'everyday' female surfers. I have been making surf leggings (sun protection!) and the only negative responses have come from guys - surprise surprise - and to do with "covering up girls butts." Seriously??!
I agree with Kelped re: Tetsuhiko Endo of the Inertia, who has written some interesting articles (http://www.theinertia.com/business-media/surfingtits-and-ass/), as does Cori Schumacher - World Longboard champ and writer (http://corischumacher.com).
Thanks again, its awesomely refreshing to know other women aren`t so stoked on current mainstream surf marketing for female surfers.
Hey lawless. I don't see ho who a person has sex with is in any way linked to whether or not they reduce people to sexual objects. I'm straight, but I don't find any desire or pleasure in sexed up images of overly muscled men. Not at all. I'm not sure what your intention was, but your comment comes across as immature and lame. Sorry if I have mis-read it.ReplyDelete
If you were talking about 'groupies' in surfing, well, I can't speak for those women, but I would imagine the situation could be complicated. It still does not justify the clip that Quiksilver posted to promote the competition.
"Hmm, not surprised" was my initial reaction.ReplyDelete
Not surprised doesn't mean it's still not disappointing. Yes I'm straight bloke for what that's worth. I see the whole contest-corporate sponsorship-magazinze nexus/circus as one fake troika exploiting the stoke that we love by repackaging it back to us as something we can purchase BUT then using the lowest common denominator ie the mentality of barely literate 14 year old boys. I imagine the planning meeting going like, "who's our key demographic to push units to? Great, lets use a sick online vid to pitch to them". Who needs them and their outrageously priced garments? Apart from, Ms Gilmore most of these "stars" are ill-mannered wave hogs when free surfing.

The Netherlands sees a substantial decline in its "ID law" fines.The Hague -- The number of fines attributed to the Dutch identification law has fallen dramatically since its implementation in 2005.
The law requires all people above the age of 14 to carry an official identification document. Police have the authority to issue fines if a person is unwilling or unable to identify himself; however, officers can only ask for identification if a person is suspected of having committed an offence.
The number of people fined has fallen from around 58,000 in 2005 to around 22,000 in 2008.
Most people are asked to identify themselves because they are suspected of public drunkenness, public urination or driving without a license.
Around half of those fined refuse to pay.

Auntie deserves the red card for failing to give us what we want
Yesterday was transfer deadline day for the English Premiership, which broke a new record - with clubs in the top flight spending more than one billion pounds on getting in extra players before the window closed at midnight.
Combined with the money forked out to other clubs, ranging from Juventus to Porto, the wages of the new stars joining the likes of Manchester United and City, Chelski, Liverpool and even, yes, my beloved Everton will probably bring Premiership expenditure to at least three billion pounds in this late summer.
The inflation in transfer fees and wages grows ever more obscene, and the dominance of Sky Sports (with those dreadful Sky Sports pub fans you encounter wearing Premiership shirts in the sport bars of Belfast and other parts of Northern Ireland) is an ever expanding bubble that surely one day is going to burst.
Given that most of the gold still flowing into the Premiership comes from the Murdoch treasure chest, alongside a smaller contribution from BT Sports, it would be surely up to licence fee-backed public broadcasters - such as the BBC and RTE - to ensure non-subscription viewers get to see some local sport on terrestrial television?
RTE still does a magnificent job broadcasting Gaelic sports and BBC Northern Ireland deserves at least some credit for its excellent but far too short Irish League Show - although it is only shown online. Given that BBC NI has the exclusive rights to cover Irish League football, surely the time is right to create a dedicated slot for local soccer on terrestrial television once a week.
As fans here pointed out in today's Belfast Telegraph story, in which more than 1,000 fans have criticised the Beeb for relegating Irish league to online coverage only, RTE has done a sterling job for League of Ireland football of late. Its dedicated weekly programme is an intelligent round-up of weekly matches and contains plenty of smart, erudite commentary. Surely BBC Northern Ireland could do the same?
As a Cliftonville fan who has seen better matches last season compared to Premiership clashes at Goodison Park - the 3-3 draw with Linfield at home on Saturday was a more entertaining game than the dull 1-1 draw between the Toffees and our neighbours across Stanley Park the following day - I would love to watch a BBC1 or BBC2 hour-long programme not only showing the highlights of all of the matches but containing some interesting, original analysis too. Local football writers Stephen Looney and Mark McIntosh are flying the flag for the Irish league online stations NVTV on Freeview Ch 7 and Virgin 159 with their own soccer discussion programme.
Ex-players turned pundits such as the excellent Chris Morgan on the BBC's internet show should be given a greater airing on terrestrial TV. For us fans - the real ones, as opposed to the Sky Sports pub supporters - who actually follow the Irish League and want it to prosper, it is time for the Beeb to shift its coverage from online to mainstream telly.

10 apps that will make your Android phone better
10 apps that will make your Android phone better
One of the best things about Android is that you can change your phone's theme, add new widgets, and customize your settings whichever way you please.Android launchers allow you to make your phone even more personal and catered to your specific tastes.
A launcher is essentially a home screen replacement for your Android phone.
You can turn them on or off whenever you like, which means you can change the look and feel of your phone's software at any time.
After playing with a bunch of lock and home screen replacements from the Google Play store, here are our top picks.
See 10 apps that will make your Android phone a whole lot better.
Image: http://aviate.yahoo.com/
The Yahoo-owned Aviate launcher is an attractive yet simple home screen replacement for your Android phone. You'll get access to your favorite apps directly on the home screen, which you can hand pick when you set up the app.
What really makes Aviate stand out, however, is a feature called Spaces.
These are different contextually aware categories that appear in the upper-left-hand corner of your home screen depending on where you are.
So, on your way to work, you might see an icon for the Moving space, which would provide travel information and apps like Google Maps.
Image: http://www.startapp.com/
Cellticks Start lock screen replacement adds a list of icons along the left side of your lock screen and a ring toward the bottom.
You can pull out these icons to see quick notifications, and sliding your finger over the ring will reveal app categories that you can choose.
There are also a ton of themes to choose from.
Buzz Launcher
Image: www.appsapk.com/buzz-launcher
If you e sick of just shuffling widgets and menus around, Buzz Launcher will give your Android phone an entire face-lift. The laucher comes with a bunch of customizable themes that completely change the way your phone looks.
Beyond its selection of themes, Buzz Launcher is extremely simple to navigate. Swiping up from the bottom launches the app menu, and you can press and hold the screen any time to access settings.
Image: www.coverscreen.com
Even though Cover is still in beta, its an excellent lock screen replacement. If you use specific apps while you e at work versus at home, Cover will be helpful.
The lock screen replacement learns more about you and the apps you use over time.
It presents different apps on the lock screen depending on where you are.
For example, if you e at work, itll include apps like Gmail, Evernote, and Google Chrome on your lock screen. When you e at home, it may show mobile games or news apps you frequently read.
Image: http://everything.me/
EverythingMe really shines when it comes to quickly retrieving files, apps, and contacts from your phone.
Its got a built-in universal search field in the home screen that pulls up relevant information.
It also automatically organizes all of your apps into designated folders for you, and features a predictive app bar that shows you which apps you need at a given time.
Apex Launcher
Image: www.appsapk.com/apex-launcher
If you want a clean look with minimal distractions, the Apex launcher should do the trick.
The default home screen is nice and tidy, with nothing but the Google Search widget across the top of the screen and some app and menu shortcuts across the bottom.
Apex also offers a wide selection of customization options, which include switching up the transitions when you swipe and changing what happens when you press the home button.
Action Launcher
Image: https://play.google.com/store
Action Launcher is another great option for those who want to keep it simple.
The default home screen is relatively blank, and free to be populated with apps of your choosing. Action Launcher sorts all of your apps into a neat alphabetically organized list.
Nova Launcher
Image: https://play.google.com/store
Nova is one of the sleekest and most highly customizable Android launchers out there. You can customize everything from the icon theme, colors, layout, and animations on your home screen.
There are thousands of icon themes available in the Google Play store. And, if your device supports it, the Nova Launcher allows you to perform a voice search by simple saying "OK Google" from the home screen.
Smart Launcher 2
Image: https://play.google.com/store
Smart Launcher 2 just gives you the basics: the time, dates, and the apps you need.
The home screen replacement presents these apps of your choosing in a ring, while the rest of your apps are sorted into various categories in a list format.
Image: http://themerapp.com/
Themer does exactly as its name implies: it offers a ton of beautiful, offbeat, and attractive themes.
You can browse theme by category, newest, most popular, and trending.
If you e main priority is to find a launcher that completely changes the way your phone looks, Themer is it.
Themer also sorts your apps into categories as well.


text: I'm considering taking the plunge and going all-in with Google. My primary email has always been my hotmail addy, which I've had since....whenever hotmail started. Literally. I've always had my POP addy from my ISP, but it's been more of a secondary address. The changes over the last while to Windows Live services and so forth have made email slow and clunky, and my ISP has got rid of their email servers entirely and Windows Live supplies all their email services. So, a switch to Gmail is under heavy consideration, particularly since I spend more time with my phone now than on my computer. I've got a Google account (obviously) and use many of their services, and have a Gmail account, which I never use. Google's calendar services, among others are terrific, integration with Android is seamless, while using hotmail through Android is a bit of a headache. How do people find Gmail? Is it worth a pretty major change (all my shopping sites, forums, etc will need to be changed to the new email) for what I'm hoping will be easier email usage on the go? Talk me into/out of the switch people, I need your advice.

Not too long ago I downloaded a copy of WordPress for Android app. I've been wanting to do this now that I'm getting back into blogging. The latest release of the app on January 30, 2014 made me curious about the history of the app. So I did a bit of digging.
In July of 2008, WordPress released its first ever WordPress for iOS app followed by the Android version in 2010. The apps made managing your WordPress site from your smartphone easy – a gift for bloggers on the go. WordPress demonstrated an almost Apple like sense of user awareness and attempted to make their apps user friendly. The mobile devices of the time were less powerful but the WordPress apps were relatively user and mobile device friendly. See the promo video below.

John Dahlback & Benny Benassi Release 'Blink Again' & EDM.com Mix [Interview]
In 2007, John Dahlback released "Blink," one of his most successful songs. It left such a lasting impression on Dahlback that he recently decided to produce an updated version. He teamed up with Benny Benassi on the rework of the track, which they titled "Blink Again." The song was released on Friday, April 18, and it is a worthy successor to the original.
Dahlback explained to EDM.com why he enlisted Benassi for the track: "To be honest, 'Blink' was super influenced by 'Satisfaction,' so who would do a better work on it than Benny? Plus he's an amazing person, so I was honored when he agreed to do it." Benassi had glowing comments about Dahlback as well. Benassi says, "John is such a talented artist; it has been a pleasure to work with him."
The original "Blink" is a very good song, but the past seven years have aged the track a bit. Dahlback says, "I just thought it was such a long time ago since it came out, and that it's not the same crowd anymore. It's such a big track for me, and I just wanted to polish it up a little bit." Benassi's description of "Blink Again" is short and sweet. He says, "It's a Benassified take on the original."
Overall, "Blink Again" is an effective update on the original version, as the added elements make it possible for DJs to play out at festivals and clubs.
To celebrate the release of "Blink Again," Dahlback and Benassi have put together an exclusive mix for EDM.com. The mix kicks off with "Blink Again" before Dahlback takes over on the song selection. Dahlback says, "I basically just chose some of my favorites of the stuff I've done lately. Some unreleased and some oldies. Actually just one oldie, and it's not even that old."
About halfway through, "Blink Again" is played a second time, and Benassi takes over on DJ duty. Benassi told us, "It's a combination of tracks which I am playing out in clubs at the moment and tracks from my radio show."
If you want to listen to "Blink Again" on its own, press play below.

I've Been Drilling Pilot Holes Wrong My Entire Life. Here's How I Learned to Correct My Technique.
So, ever since I learned to use an electric drill, I've followed this rule: when joining two pieces of wood, you drill an appropriately sized pilot hole completely through the top, and down into the second. This guides the screw, and the two pieces are held together when the screw's threads grab the wood and lock everything into place. The pilot hole's size is determined by the inner diameter of the screw's body, minus the threads. Right?
In fact, doing it this way can compromise the strength of the joint. In this approach, the threads insert themselves into the first piece, locking its position in place. Even worse, the screw can hold the two pieces apart from each other, resulting in a jacked, or bridged, screw. Which looks sloppy, and if you're trying to glue the joint together, there won't be enough pressure to allow the glue to bond the two pieces.
My problem was a lack of understanding about how a screw joint actually works.
It's not the threads biting into both pieces that secured everything in place. Rather, the strength of a screw joint comes from the threads pulling the screw through the bottom piece and securing the top from the pressure against the screw's head. The threads are irrelevant in the top piece; only the head matters. Think of it like a nut and bolt: the bottom piece of wood acts like the nut, drawing whatever is sandwiched between the hardware's head and the "nut" flush via the threads.
So, in order to permit both pieces to touch fully and allow the head to seat, the threads shouldn't dig into the wood fibers of the top piece at all.
DID YOU KNOW THIS?!?! Perhaps I'm the only one, but I suspect this is a common misconception. So, how do you drill the appropriately sized screw holes in both pieces with one drill bit? You don't.
You use two. Well, you could use a stepped drill bit, with two diameters, or a tapered bit, but neither really gets you exactly where you need to be for truly strong joinery. If this is old news to you, then you are a better woodworker than I. If not, here's how you properly drill a pilot hole.
Begin by understanding this: the hole drilled through the top piece of wood isn't a pilot hole at all — it's a clearance hole. This hole completely clears the material, allowing the screw to pass through, without cutting into the wood.
In order to do this, you first drill a hole with a bit that matches the outer diameter of the screw's threads, countersinking or counterboring where appropriate.
Then, drill a pilot hole in the bottom piece to accept the screw's threads. This bit should match the inside shank of the drill bit (not including the threads). Since the bit is smaller, you can drill it right through the clearance hole in the top.
Alternatively, if your project is small enough that you can clamp it together, begin by drilling the pilot hole through both pieces, then ream out just the clearance hole in the top piece with the larger bit. Only do this if everything is super secure so your parts don't become misaligned.
In fact, screw manufacturers know you probably won't do this each time. It's why they leave that initial bit of screw unthreaded at the top of the screw under the head.
Is it an extra step? Yes. Is it necessary when doing rough construction or banging something together in your garage? No, of course not. But when you're working on a fine project your proud of, and especially if you're using glue, it's worth the extra couple of minutes to make the strongest joinery possible and keep everything flush and clean. In fact, the clearance hole is more important than the pilot hole, so if you're only going to drill one hole and you're sure the wood won't split, you can save time and alignment hassle by skipping the pilot hole altogether.
Now that I get how this works, I feel kinda silly for not having done this on the thousands of pilot holes I've drill over the past twenty years. But, at least I know now.

Definitely! I made up the table below to help folks understand this... https://handycrowd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/screws-explained-from-handycrowd.com_.pdf
Les Tolson on Nov 07, 2017:
Hello my way is to drill a small hole all the way through both pieces then drill the first hole as you described. The first hole stops the wood splitting or you can put a bit of grease on the screw witch makes the screw go in better.
HWC on Jun 04, 2017:
Just take your phillips bit and drive it into your top piece about 1/2 - 1/3 the boards thickness. This will make an ample clearance hole. Its important for the 2 pieces to be held together tightly to prevent "jacking?" If you dont and even have spent half an hour courting this joint with holes youll get a bad joint. This lesson is most relevant to lag bolts.
Rey on Jun 01, 2017:
Thanks for the details about this error correction. This is another good reason to have three drills so you don't have to keep changing drill bits. One drills the pilot hole; the second drills the clearance hole; and the third has the screwdriver bit to put the pieces together.
Jerry on Mar 24, 2017:
I am a complete novice here but as I read this article my thoughts were to use the smaller bit as suggested by HUB KNUDGE. I've had this issue before and it never dawned on me what caused it. This is a great article and I am glad I came across it. I appreciate these responses as well.
Hub Knudge on Mar 22, 2017:
I'd drill both holes at once with the smaller drill bit sized for the screw, and then after you've located the precise position of the clearance hole, just enlarge it with a larger drill bit. Then you can be assured the pieces will align perfectly, since they were drilled at the same time.
Perry F. Townsend Sr on Mar 22, 2017:
Thanks for sharing this. I did not know this also. But I will start doing it this way from now on.

This is not just a mental concept but is something that can be experienced in your daily life.
• Take care of your worldly destiny even as you cultivate your spiritual immortal self. It's all a matter of where you focus. Inner Sexual Alchemy can be taking place even when your fully engaged in the world, Its quite an experience to feel waves of Healing Yuan steam ( unconditional love) arising from deeper dimensions of your being as you wait in line at the bank!
• Grace Yourself with Unconditional Love. "Yuan Chi" is unconditional Love that can be remembered and activated within you by reversing the normal outer flow of Yin and Yang energies.

Published: Monday 22nd June 2015 by The News Editor
New Zealand batsman Martin Guptill is hoping to end a memorable tour of England on a high at Emirates Old Trafford on Tuesday.
The Black Caps have been on thrilling form since touching down, going blow for blow with their hosts to draw the Test series 1-1 before helping England shatter scoring records in a one-day series the tourists lost 3-2.
The fun ends in Manchester with a solitary Twenty20 and Guptill wants to finish in the same buccaneering fashion.
"The cricket both teams have played has been about excitement and confidence so I don't see there being any change on Tuesday night," he said.
"It's been an amazing tour. I had a chat with Steven Finn after the last game and we both said what an amazing series it was," he said.
"It's a pretty amazing one-day series we just played in and unfortunately we came out on the wrong side but the guys are still pretty confident and we'll be up for the game.
"The surfaces have been pretty good for batsmen so far so let's hope there's plenty of runs in this one too.
"Hopefully we can end the tour on a high and leave with a smile on our faces."
As well as the dynamic approach from both sides, the early international summer has been characterised by the positive spirit the games have been played in.
England's recent Ashes contests have been notable for a more aggressive edge, while Australia were roundly criticised for their sledging in the World Cup final against the Kiwis.
Guptill was wary about getting involved in a debate over Australian conduct, but predicted another tough scrap for the urn in the coming weeks.
"It's just the way they are. We can't do a lot about them, can we?" said Guptill when quizzed about Australia's on-field conduct.
"The respect between both sides (England and New Zealand) has been right up there and that shouldn't change.
"I guess each individual is going to find their own way of coping with getting through an Ashes series. Having not played in one it looks pretty tough from just watching.
"Each individual has to come up with a way to get through it. It's going to be a great series, I'm looking forward to it."

What not to do when applying for an art job
Erik Asorson
I have noticed something amusing. I regularly recieve emails from artists looking for work, and I have found that I can gauge the degree by which they SUCK before even setting eyes on their resume or portfolio.
The primary indicator is the amount of time they spend talking about themselves and the number of big words in their application, usually strung together in a paragraph containing far too many adjectives and descriptive phrases with not nearly enough nouns.
My advice to artists looking for work: Shut your mouths and let your work do the talking. Every time I recieve a very brief, factual, to-the-point email from an artist I open up the accompanying materials and VOILA! It's great! The guy has experience and talent. Phew! But whenever someone has diahrea of the mouth yammering on about how inspired they are, and how creative they are, how technically adept they are, how hard working they are, how enthusiastic they are....it turns out they are a prime candidate for the gallery abominate. Don't try to overcome your shortcomings with words. You aren't going to fool anybody.
Oh yeah, my biggest pet peeve of all. When recent college graduates like to overhype whatever useless piece of paper they just recieved from their institution of choice, and then draw a correlation between that and their suppposed value. I did not even know until recently that such a thing existed, but apparently there is now a MASTERS DEGREE IN GAME DESIGN! LOL! That's funny. What next!? A doctorate!? Allright Dr. Mario. Recently I received an email from one of these "Masters of game design" who made no bones about his distinctive achievement, only to find that his portfolio may have qualified him as a Master of Burger Flipping, but not much else.
If anyone else who has served in a hiring capacity wants to contribute to this thread please do.

LOL, this is just too funny.
Don't know if I feel sorry for you having to deal with these guys, or these guys who spent all that time typing that out with a glimer of hope, only to get burned.
"You aren't going to fool anybody."
Probbly not gonna fool you, but don't underestimate human stupidty, there are plenty of people i've seen that get fooled bad.
If thoes poeple that applied have bad portfolios and have previous work experince, then you know everyone they worked for in the past they fooled :P.

I have seen some pretty hilarious demo reels at work (not game related, but still 3d related). Only put your best stuff on your reel, if that means you only have 2 or 3 sequences, than so be it. anything less than your best will most likely be the piece remembered (or laughed at).

We had a guy apply for a database programmer job here last week. He seemed ok. His CV said "3 yrs SQL experience", but on the test we give to applicants, he couldn't even create a simple query. Why would you list something on your CV, and apply for the job if you haven't got a clue about the subject?
He didn't get the job.

Excellent point.
(semi-off topic) Erik, not too long ago you posted up a step by step of how your portfolio should be set up. Something like "Great, Good, Fair, great, Good".. and so forth with an explaination of why it is adviseable to do your portfolio in that manner.
Try as I may I haven't been able to find that thread nor have I found that exact same material covered in any of your GAPs. Do you have that written somewhere else?

I agree 100% Erik,
We got one here yesterday that talked about how they were going to save our company (!?) with the ideas they were going to bring and the fact that they read tons of manga comics therefore had great imagination. Needless to say the reel itself was shite.

I'm also doing a degree in games design, I wont be flashing that around when I want to get a job though, I've never used grades to get into anything, After school, I made my first portfolio of shoddy 3d workings, that got me into College, after college had finished I had an alright portfolio, full of 3d and 2d, I used that to get to Uni, and when Uni's finished, i'll be handing out my portfolio to be. Which I honestly believe would be nothing if I hadn't of joined this course.
What's so ridiculous about a course that teaches good games design? Big woop you're a games designer and you didn't do a course, self teaching is great, and I do it alot, but i'm also being taught things that I wouldn't of been able to learn on my own. I'm doing a lot more 2D now too, life drawing, character design and traditional animation... I wouldn't of done much of this on my own, instead i'd be sat in front of max doing tutorial after tutorial. But there are things tutorials can't teach you, for example... due to my traditional animation classes, my 3d animation has increased ten-fold.
I like this course, it's teaching me exactly what I wanted to know, and since the time that i've been here, there's a definite sense of progression in most of my favoured areas, and I've picked up a few more favoured areas too, ones that I wouldn't of even looked at before this course.
I know you're a wise man Erik, i've read many of your ramblings, and although you couldn't possibly sway my train of thought, I would like to know... What is so funny about the idea of a degree in games design to you?
And i've just realised I let my coffee go cold... now i'm super angry.

For many jobs I see advertised, at least in my part of the world, almost all of them request a college degree as a minimum to even interview for a job. I respect anyone that takes the time and effort out of their life, to go sit with a bunch of people they barely know and get a degree.
Is a degree any gurantee of artistic skill? Of course not. But it shows that a person has the werewithal, reserve and determination to FINISH something that many people find unable to do, this writer included.
But if a person puts out some kind of energy that their degree somehow entitles them to a job, and tries to use the degree to hide their deficiencies, most employers can see right through that.

Fraid not Herminator. I've placed myself in Southampton.
Is a degree any gurantee of artistic skill? Of course not
I completely agree, Throughout college there were only 2 students that stood out in my class, and I don't mean to toot my own horn, but one of them was me. The others were just scraping by, and managed to get the same Diploma I did.
Even though my work was to a much higher standard, and to an extent, I see myself as "better" than they were, we ended up with the same piece of paper. So yeah... I completely understand that the degree doesn't make the artist, and i'm also aware that there's probably no course out there that will fully prepare you for a job in the "real" world. But it seems like a logical place to start for those of us who wish to better ourselves before diving into an industry.
I'm not one of those kids who will do what he can to pass the course, just for that degree, I actually enjoy the work i'm doing (though I do hate waking up early to do it ;)) and i'll keep working on whatever i've learnt.
So to sum up, I'm not in it for that piece of paper, though it will look impressive. I'm in it for what that piece of paper can do for me BEFORE I actually get it.

Dave, you might really have a great thing going for you there in your course. It sounds good from what you're saying but degrees really tell a potential employer nothing. They're really no indication of how a new employee will be in a new job. My college course is... well it's ok... it's not great. I'm really only happy with the way 2 of my classes are being run. The lecturers for both know their stuff and they crit hard.
Only one of them has encouraged us to do things for ourselves while we're in college because we won't have time afterwards. That's what i'm doing with my time in college, i'm using my free time outside of college to learn and improve my skills. It's up to each person on their own to develop their skills. As far as i'm concerned, college is a place that introduces me to new skills that i wouldn't have otherwise considered and it gives some basic assignments to help introduce us to those skills. That's the minimum anybody in my course needs to do to finish with a degree.
A degree will never ever indicate initiative, a passion or desire for a particular line of work and that's what it takes to be good at it. Nobody wants to hire some guy who's not going to try to improve himself and who's just coming along every day for the money of the job.

Circa 1880s photo of Mary Walden
I purchased the subject undated studio portrait taken by J. G. Brayton, Napa, CA.It is identified on the back in period handwriting:
"Mary Walden --
dau. of Russell Walden
who was brother of J B Walden I."
I have not found Russell Walden recorded in the Census data, however, he is included in some public member trees posted on ancestry.com.Born 4 Sep 1822 in NY, he was the son of John Eggleston Walden (1796-1832) and Lydia Graves Sleeper (1802-1850).I found one of his younger brothers, Jerome Bonoparte Walden, born 20 Mar 1829 in NY, listed in the 1870 Census data for Napa Township, Napa Co., CA; and the 1880 Census data for Napa City, Napa Co., CA.
I found Mary E. Walden listed under her married name, Bowman, in the 1880 Census data for Napa City, Napa Co., CA.Born about 1849 in MI, at the time of the 7 Jun 1880 enumeration, she was widowed and living with her daughter, Hattie M. Bowman, born about 1871 in CA, and her widowed mother, Isabel Walden (maiden name unknown), born about 1830 in NY.Mary and Isabel were employed as dress makers.
Contact me if you wish to view and/or acquire this photo.

Steerable Features for Statistical 3D Dendrite Detection
Most state-of-the-art algorithms for filament detection in 3-D image-stacks rely on computing the Hessian matrix around individual pixels and labeling these pixels according to its eigenvalues. This approach, while very effective for clean data in which linear structures are nearly cylindrical, loses its effectiveness in the presence of noisy data and irregular structures. In this paper, we show that using steerable filters to create rotationally invariant features that include higher-order derivatives and training a classifier based on these features lets us handle such irregular structures. This can be done reliably and at acceptable computational cost and yields better results than state-of-the-art methods.

La Huelga
Puno Travel Blog› entry 6 of 25 › view all entries
We left La Paz with the intention of going to Puno, Peru, a small town on Lake Titicaca. We just wanted to go for the day and relax in a small town and check out the highest lake in the world. However, when we arrived, some guy told us that the next day, all the transportation in Peru would be shut down due to a stike (or huelga in Spanish), meaning that we would be stranded in Puno, the middle of nowhere with nothing to do for a few days. That was the last thing we wanted to do.
So, we went right to the bus station, found the next bus to Cusco, Peru, and took off. We figured that Cusco would be way cooler than Puno. The crazy thing though is that when we were driving to Cusco, the protest had already begun. They put huge rocks in the streets and flamming tired on the highway to stop all traffick. Our bus was swerving out of the way of boulders and fires, it was almost like something you would see in a movie. Also, everyone once in a while, the protestors would come up and throw rocks at us. It was crazy! Why do I always have crazy bus experiences???
While witnessing a Peruvian stike was a bit frightening, it was kind of cool to see. But, finally, we are in Cusco, and it is one of the prettiest cities ever.. Ill tell you more about it in a few days. Chau!

Coming from a small Quaker school in center city Philadelphia where class sizes never exceeded twenty students, I wasn't sure I would find the same kind of close-knit community within a large research university like Pitt. I thought research universities were places where undergraduate education came second to graduate and professional research. This couldn't be further from a description of the experiences I've had at Pitt—experiences that have been facilitated by the University Honors College (UHC).
As a politics and philosophy (P&P) major—a degree option offered and advised through the UHC—I have had the flexibility to take mostly seminar-style courses with professors who are passionate about undergraduate education. Because P&P emphasizes breadth of study through interdisciplinary coursework, I have fulfilled degree requirements in courses ranging from problems in the philosophy of religion to transatlantic security. The UHC transformed my experience at Pitt into the small liberal arts environment I wanted but with hundreds of courses from which to choose.
Through a seminar on global justice, I built a relationship with a faculty member who got me interested in thinking about what obligations the affluent have to those who suffer from human rights violations. Based on this interest, I pursued independent and original research with the guidance of Michael Goodhart, a leading thinker in the field. The UHC facilitated this research through a Brackenridge fellowship, a program that encourages students from all disciplines to participate in a research community in which no one can hide behind disciplinary jargon. A student interested in the therapeutic value of Wittgensteinian philosophy must defend his research against the student interested in the neurobiology of vomiting in musk shrews. In the words of Nate Hillberg (director of the program) defending your research to Brackenridge fellows is one of the most challenging presentations you will ever give because it is in front of a room full of smart people who have no idea what you are talking about.
The UHC is not just an academic institution; it is a place for anyone who is genuinely curious. Whether your interest is writing for a publication like Pitt Political Review or participating in a reading group like Pizza and Plays, there is room for any interest or new program you want to create. Most importantly, these opportunities are not reserved for students who have merely done well on standardized tests or have high GPAs, because no one is excluded from the Honors College. In the words of our founding dean, Alec Stewart, "Bright, incurious people—bless 'em, high SAT scores and all—do not make a worthy university. People with an animated reverence for curiosity do."

Baffled colleague: "I think someone's been going round at night switching off all the screens and the printers..."
Yes, that would be me.
I find it so peculiar that office workers of Brighton (in my experience), although rightfully proud of the city's green endeavours, don't think to turn off office equipment when they leave.
It's even been suggested monitors be switched off if the PC isn't going to be in use for more than 20 minutes.
I was brought up that leaving a TV on standby was a waste of energy, and costly. It may not seem much, but it all adds up.
I apply this logic to computer monitors, but at times it seems like I'm in the minority in doing so. And it's become a real bugbear of mine.
Perhaps people think that when they shut down their PC the monitor switches itself off? Umm, yeah...that magic doesn't happen foo'.
Sit tight for forthcoming entralling blog posts on switching lights off when you're not in the room, tightening dripping taps, and crushing bulky recycling.

Guide to fitting wheels and tires to the 2011-2014 WRX

2012 WRX Hatchback

Hello there,
I have a 2012 WRX sedan and I'm a little confused while trying to purchase new rims/tires for the summer. I've read through the sticky threads here for hours and its just confusing with so many opinions.
I'm a daily driver on my WRX and live in Michigan. I just ordered a set of winter tires to fit my stock rims and plan to get 18" rims and new summer tires to have 2 sets, one for summer and one for winter.
My question is, is searching wheels on tirerack that "fit my vehicle" the best way to go for a daily driver not looking to increase performance or roll fenders or fill the wheel gap or lower the car or blah blah? I'm not sure what the specs are on the stock rims other than they're 17". It looks like the largest I see that "fit my vehicle" are 18x8 on tirerack, but so many people on this forum say to go to 18x9 or 18x9.5, I'm not sure what stock width size is. Offset and backspacing I'm not quite sure on either. It just seems to me that what tirerack says "fits my vehicle" are much smaller than what everyone here says to do.
What I'm seeing most of on tirerack is something like:
Size: 18x8
Offset: 45mm
Backspacing: 6.25"
Bolt Pattern: 5-100
Rec. Tire Size: 235/40-18
Any help is really, really appreciated. I've never gotten aftermarket rims for any car and I want to make sure I do it right for the daily driver in me. I also assume I need another TPMS setup for the new set of tires so that one system is on each tire setup? Sorry this is all just way overwhelming and confusing after hours of reading posts. So many opinions and setups.. I just want something close to stock or maybe fill up the wheel well a little bit but don't want to mod anything else. Just new 18" rims! so complicated.
The stock 2012 WRX wheels are:
17 x 8", 5x100 bolt pattern, 56.1mm hub bore, +53mm offset, about 22 lbs each.
The stock 2012 WRX tire size is:
The other questions you post will have more subjective answers. But if all you want is an additional set of wheels for summer then get the same size as stock .. as long as they are lighter (or the same weight at least). You can go +1 is wheel size to 18" wheels - but again keep the weight at 22 lbs or less. Otherwise you will have a "performance decrease". NOTE: The 18" tires will be more expensive than the same tire in a 17" size.
Other people on the forum go +1 (or 2) and go wider because of looks, performance attributes, etc..
What I cannot figure out from your post is WHY you want to get 18" wheels? I know your decision is not performance based, so is it about asthetics from the shorter sidewall 18" tires?

|Bees swarm along the fragile edge of darkness.
Open wounds attract blood-hungry flies.
Near my heart lie savage little souls
Neatly arrayed to feast upon my life.
In eight days God will be through with miracles.
Even so, life is a gift of love.
So how does one enjoy this gift of love,
Glory is the dancing quark of life,
More cry than ocean, more wish than star, life
Earth is the stage for a concert of passionate love:

Restaurateur Romano Scaturro has cycled tens of thousands of miles the last 20 years, from Ironman competitions to five cross-continent excursions. His latest journey, a 10,000-mile trek with stops at each of Major League Baseball's 30 stadiums, brought him to Petco Park this month as part of a quest to raise $10,000 for a pair of orphaned siblings.
"I am telling you more than physically it is emotionally and mentally the toughest thing I have ever done," said Scaturro, 47, who began the ride in April 5 in Houston and plans to finish Oct. 3 in Seattle. "There are some days when I really wanted to cash in my chips and go home."
Instead the owner of an Italian eatery in Cornville, Ariz., remained motivated to make the grueling ride after the children, ages 7 and 5, lost their mother and father last year in a murder suicide.
"I think you have to have a screw loose to do this. But you look at these two kids and they're so precious," he said. "When you do something like this you have to have a purpose."
Scaturro formed the nonprofit Family Ride Across America to Nurture Kids and has raised about $3,000 toward the children's education. Their great uncle, Phil Grondin, hosted Scaturro in San Diego, where they attended a recent game against the Colorado Rockies.
"He was hoping to change the Padres' luck, but he didn't," said Grondin, referring to the 10-game losing streak the team was mired in at the time. "But really, Romano is a hell of a guy. He stepped up with the goal to raise $10,000 and ride 10,000 miles and we're all very, very appreciative of that."
After leaving San Diego it was off to Anaheim, Los Angeles and the Bay Area. The six-month tip, roughly two-thirds of which was completed alone, is expected to cost between $6,000 and $8,000. The bike was donated, along with roughly half of the ballgame tickets. And he camped out on most nights rather than splurging on a hotel.
He's also stayed through most of the games, taking video of each stadium to compile rankings that touch on everything from bike friendliness to comfort. So far, Chicago's Wrigley Field and Boston's Fenway Park top the list.
As for his least favorite ballparks, it's a tossup between Rogers Centre in Toronto and Chase Field in Arizona, which "feels more like a shopping mall than a baseball stadium."
He offered this advice to folks looking for a similar trek:
"Think about crossing northern Kansas, with temperatures over 100, humidity at 70 percent and nothing around but cornfields."
For more information about his trek and to donate to his cause, visit www.fraank.org.

The goal of this study was to predict the global distribution of plant rooting depths based on data about global aboveground vegetation structure and climate. This data set consists of three files, two in standard ESRI ArcGIS ArcInfo ASCII GRID format that contain data for mean 50% and 95% root depth, and one comma delimited text file that contains the grid cell location followed by the 50% and 95% ecosystem root depths removed due to differences with the ISLSCP II land/sea masking. Together these data can be used to calculate estimates for vertical root distributions, using a logistic equation provided in this documentation. These data represent mean ecosystem rooting depths for one degree by one degree grid cells. Vertical root distributions influence the fluxes of water, carbon, and soil nutrients and the distribution and activities of soil fauna. Roots transport nutrients and water upwards, but they are also pathways for carbon and nutrient transport into deeper soil layers and for deep water infiltration. Roots also affect the weathering rates of soil minerals. For calculating such processes on a global scale, data on vertical root distributions are needed as inputs to global biogeochemistry and vegetation models. In the Project for Intercomparison of Land Surface Parameterization Schemes (PILPS), rooting depth and vertical soil characteristics were the most important factors explaining scatter for simulated transpiration among 14 land-surface models. Recently, the Terrestrial Observation Panel for Climate of the Global Climate Observation System (GCOS) identified the 95% rooting depth as a key variable needed to quantify the interactions between the climate, soil, and plants, stating that the main challenge was to find the correlation between rooting depth and soil and climate features (GCOS/GTOS Terrestrial Observation Panel for Climate 1997). In response to this challenge, a data set of vertical rooting depths was collected from the literature in order to construct maps of global ecosystem rooting depths.

This double strand necklace by Vendome combines faceted crystal beads with two different faux pearl type beads that are not what you would think of as baroque but are odd shaped. Those beads are white and off white. Each of the faux pearl type beads has brass floral caps on either end and there are tiny brass spacer beads between each bead. The faux pearls are glass, not plastic. The J hook clasp is topped with a textured gold tone flower. Length is adjustable from 16 to 18 inches.
Your jewelry should reflect your style. If you don't see something at Lucky Lady Vintage that suits your style, let me know. I have a huge inventory that isn't online yet.

Starring Annie Giradot as a married woman confused by the rapid change in sexual mores around her. Erotissimo takes place precisely at the point in the 1960s where SEX became an inescapably "in your face" component of modern life, advertising and urban dwelling. As such, it is a perfect time capsule of the end of one era and the beginning of another. Giradot's heroine struggles to understand the matters I presume would have been vexing a fair amount of the film's audience during that time period as well.
But plot aside, the film's reputation these days is due to its unique—and very Sixties—art direction: Gerard Pires' Erotissimo looks like almost no other film I can think of. Nearly every frame is a masterpiece of visual composition, in the vein of William Klein's Who Are You, Polly Magoo? The groovedelic soundtrack is the aural equivalent of a white molded plastic chair…
Mod Cinema sells a DVD of Erotissimo with English subtitles, making it possible for those of us who paid no attention in French class to enjoy this treat.
A married woman in her 30's (Annie Girardot) tries to spice up her sex life with her distracted husband Philippe (Jean Yanne) under the deluge of sexy Swedish movies, sexy advertising on the streets, sexy intimate clothing in ladies' shops, and even talks about sex and marital infidelity with her mother and female friends. Philippe, a general manager of a dynamic company specializing in baby products becomes preoccupied with an upcoming tax audit. Even the presence of a beautiful fashion model who lives with Annie's brother fails to divert his attention. This amazing and colorful work of 60's pop art features an original psychedelic soundtrack by French composer William Sheller & singer-songwriter Michel Polnareff, and don't miss the cameo by monsieur Serge Gainsbourg!
Gainsbourg's cameo is appropriately sleazy: He plays a guy who hits on Annie as she is leaving a Swedish "art film."
