Oxygen Announces Nail Artists for New Competition Series NAIL'D IT, Premiering 10/7
Oxygen Media 'MANIpulates' the hottest fashion trend of nail art into a creative and innovative competition series, "Nail'd It," premiering Tuesday, October 7 at 9pm ET/PT. Hosted by Adrienne Bailon ("The Real"), "Nail'd It" pits 18 of the best up-and-coming nail artists against one another as they claw their way to the top to claim a life-changing grand prize of $100,000. The series premiere coincides with Oxygen's rebrand on Tuesday, October 7th across all platforms, launching the network's new Logo and tagline, very real, targeting young, modern women.
"Nails are the ultimate fashion accessory and I couldn't be more excited to host 'Nail'd It,'" said Bailon."I've always been obsessed with nail art and I can't wait for everyone to see the creativity, passion and talent of these 18 artists. They are going to be blown away!"
"For these emerging nail artists, this isn't just a job, it's their passion," said Rod Aissa, Senior Vice President, Original Programming and Development for Oxygen Media. "Our young, female audience will relate and root alongside these everyday nail artists as they pursue their dream and compete on "Nail'd It" to be recognized as one of the best."
In each episode, the talented contestants will face-off crafting flawless flat paint designs and over-the-top 3D masterpieces using everything from lacquers, gels and acrylics to embellishments and unorthodox materials. The winners and runners up from the first six episodes will compete in a high-stakes four-part finale until only one artist is left standing to win the grand prize and opportunity to have their designs featured in a cover story for Nail It! magazine. Pushed beyond their creative limits, the contestants will be critiqued by a rotating panel of judges, including industry icon and leading expert on trends, Jan Arnold (@cndworld), CND's Co-Founder and Style Director; Top "Man"-icurist, Tom Bachik (@tombachik), who polishes the nails of celebrities from red carpets events to sold out arenas; expert nail artist and celebrity manicurist, Terrance Terry (@terranceterry), known as the "Nail Villian" for his uncensored personality and ability to push the envelope; and distinguished judge of nail art competitions worldwide, Elaine T.

NEW YORK — Fat Joe is indeed demonstrating his "crazy versatility" — at least based on a preview of the few records he has leaked from his March release, The Elephant in the Room. On one hand, you have his Don Cartagena side, coming out in the official single "I Won't Tell," which features J. Holiday. It's a smoothed-out record in which Joe promises to not spill the beans about his cavorting with a woman who is with another guy. Then there's "Crack House" (featuring Lil Wayne), for all the Joey Crack lovers of the Bronx, New York, native's brash street-shuffling and strong-arming.
Next up is "300." Produced by LV — he's also worked on Jay-Z's American Gangster, Diddy's Press Play and Ghostface's Big Doe Rehab — the track is an ode to Joe's 'hood Spartans — or as we know them, his Terror Squad.
"It's my modern-day 'My Life Style,' " Joe said recently. " 'This is where we fight/ This is where they die/ Booomf! 300 Terror Squad n—as walking down the block/ I am a professional/ I will cut your testicles.' Real violent sh–. It's hard."
Joe said he'll be balancing that out on the album with another potential single, the Danjahandz-produced "Party All the Time" — yep a remake of the 1985 Eddie Murphy track that was produced by Rick James.
"I got this song called 'Party All the Time,' " he smiled. "We did the old Eddie Murphy [song over].
"The n—a who loves '300' might hate that song," he laughed. "It's too sexy, but I'm killing that sh–. 'Happy, happy birthday baby/ If this is your song/ I love it when you sing that sh– to me/ It really, really turns me on/ No, I go on, I go hard, it's Joey Crack the Don/ The promoter's buggin', screaming like, "Who invited thum?" ' Danja did that beat. The guys who wanna have a great time and the girls who love to have fun — that's gonna ring off. Versa-til-ity!"
Since Joe interviewed with us earlier in the week, the "Party All the Time" cover has been removed from his album. Joe has recorded a number of songs for his opus and is still finalizing it.
Swizz Beatz, Scott Storch, Cool and Dre, and DJ Khaled also contributed to The Elephant in the Room.

Waiver Wire Report: NHL Fantasy Free Agent- Week of 10/12
Luckily for the stricken fantasy owner, it's still early in the season. Meaning there's usually plenty of players out on the waiver wire to replace those players off to a disappointing start or those felled by the injury bug. Come and see what players are still readily available in more than 50% of public fantasy leagues:
Around The Net
One of the things I try
Waiver Wire Report: NHL Fantasy Free Agents
BucketofPucks.com's Waiver Wire Report is a weekly list of NHL players owned in 50% or less in public fantasy hockey leagues. These are players that may provide some good alternatives for players on you fantasy team you might be looking to replace. Whether it be from injury, underproduction or you're looking to find someone to help with a category or two you find your fantasy team lacking in.

DRAFT: Top Ranked NHL Goalies
Many fantasy hockey owners consider their goaltenders as the backbone of their team. And why shouldn't they? In a standard league set ups, it's usually 5 offensive and 5 goalie categories. Even in deeper leagues with expanded stats, goaltending usually accounts for 25%-50% of the categories
DRAFT: Top Ranked NHL Centers
Whatever way you go, the center position is undoubtedly the deepest position to draft. Just look at the last 4 years statistics and you'll find an average of 23 out of the top 50 scorers played the pivot.
DRAFT: Top Ranked NHL Defensemen
So where are you going to take a Defensemen in your fantasy hockey draft? Consider this, of the 110 player to score 50 points or more, only 12 were Defensemen. Maybe you should wait to get that secondary scorer and get some "D" instead.
DRAFT: Top Ranked NHL Fantasy Hockey Wingers
Of course, you're taking Ovechkin if he's available for you, but who else should you take on the wings? Does Heatley's trade help or hurt his draft position?

About this Business
From Our Editors
Years spent living in England made their mark on Columbia City Ale House founder Jeff Eagan. The country's particular style of local pubs fascinated him, and when he returned to Seattle in 1991, he recruited chef Jeff Reich to help him re-create that atmosphere by founding the 74th Street Ale House, the first of their triad of Seattle ale houses. The pubs dedicated their taps to local craft beers in a decade where the streets mostly flowed with basic American brews, and caught attention for their beer selection and for a fierce dedication to fresh-prepared pub fare classified as "herbaceous and hot" by the Seattle Times. Eclectic menus regularly updated by chef and Seattle culinary veteran Kathy Christopher boast gumbo with made-from-scratch stock and a breaded-chicken sandwich with garlic oil that claims a Best Chicken Sandwich distinction from Seattle Weekly.
Columbia City Ale House is the latest in their expanding endeavors, and shares with its siblings a dedication to craft brews and an upscale approach to pub fare. English and local beers flow from the 21 taps, half of which change regularly and include favorites such as Fullers' Extra Special Bitters and perennial winners from Fremont and Boundary Bay. On the menu, a grilled Reuben sandwich boasts corned beef braised in Blackthorn hard cider, and flat iron steak rubbed in ancho-chili powder and pepper stars in a southwest steak sandwich. A regular specials menu encourages culinary and libationary adventure with a recommended beer or wine pairing listed next to each dish.
Inside the ale house, light shines through geometric stained-glass windows, bought from a demolished Greek Orthodox church. Squares of the same stained glass decorate the small upper level, and arches centered on a cross stand at the top of the bar. The space reflects the English pub feel with sturdy woods, a mirror emblazoned with an Old Bailey beer logo, and servers who impersonate the Queen Mother between shifts.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is launching the 'Digital India Week' in the national capital this evening with a view to empower the people of the country through the Digital India programme. But while you've certainly heard a lot of the hullabaloo about the program, what does it all really mean for the public?
Firstly, the main vision of the Digital India Programme is inclusive growth in areas of electronic services, products, manufacturing and job opportunities etc. As the website reads, " The vision is to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy." So how exactly does one do that? Here's the plan:
Digital infrastructure as a core utility to every citizen
The first step is to provide high speed internet to all citizens of the country, be it high speed broadband, mobile connectivity infrastructure, or public WiFi hotspots. The estimated impact of Digital India by 2019 is expected to be cross cutting, ranging from broadband connectivity in all Panchayats, Wi-fi in schools and universities and Public Wi-Fi hotspots. The core philosophy is to give all citizens of the country access to the internet as a way to interact with their government and avail of public services.
Cradle to grave digital identity that is unique, lifelong, online and authenticable to every citizen
One very important point is that every citizen will be encouraged to avail of a unique online identification number, to allow to access benefits owed to them. This could mean no more years of waiting for something as simple as a government pension. The ID will also tie up with a mobile phone and bank account to enable citizen participation in the digital financial space and space on a public cloud server. It bears awful resemblance to various dystopian Sci-Fi "numbers not humans" movie plots, but it might be a little early to judge that.
Governance and services on demand
Giving citizens access to benefits online would be useless without upgrading the corresponding e-governance services. The Government of India therefore seeks to integrate services across departments and jurisdictions, providing access to people in real time, from both online and mobile platforms. This includes making all government-related financial transactions electronic and cashless. In short, you can (hopefully) pay your telephone bill, file for a death certificate, or register yourself for a driver's licence, all without having to drag yourself to government office or submitting a single hard copy document. this would require the government to not only build certain government processes online, but also revamp existing ones to fit in with the programme, as well as connect them with cloud and mobile connectivity options.
Digital empowerment of citizens
But what good is giving everyone internet access when only the people familiar with the technology are likely to make use of it? That's where universal digital literacy comes in. The GoI is planning to provide all these services in regional languages as well as collaborating with the general public online for something it calls "participative governance".
Employment options and partnerships
The programme is also expected to generate a huge number of IT, and Telecom and Electronics jobs, both directly and indirectly. In line with this, the GoI has also stated that, wherever possible, Public-Private Partnerships will be set up , in order to reduce government spending while still maintaining service standards. On the flip side, this could introduce us to some very bad corporate evils like "Miscellaneous taxation" and "Service Fees", but only time will tell if the government has a strong policy in place to prevent that.
Now let's talk specifics. here are some of the services the Digital india programme will offer
Digital Locker – It's a dedicated cloud-based personal storage space, linked to each resident's Aadhaar number. DigiLocker can be used to store e-documents as well as URLs of e-documents issued by various departments. It also has an e-Sign facility to digitally sign e-documents.
Mobile Seva – Mobile Seva provides access to government services for all citizens via SMS or smartphone apps.
BBNL National Optical Fiber Network – Bharat Broadband Network Ltd is attempting to connect a total of around 2,50,000 Gram Panchayats via an optical fibre network, to provide them with high-speed broadband. The project is expected to take two years and cost about Rs 20,000 Crore.
CCTNS – Crime and Criminal Tracking Network Systems (CCTNS) is a plan to improve our policing system by automating police stations and providing its services through an online forum.
E-courts – The government also has a plan to automate court proceedings to provide transparency, as well as make them more affordable and cost effective.
Passport Seva – This service enables simple, efficient and transparent processes for issuing Passports nationwide, by having the police verification process as well as document submissions conducted online, with India Post delivery the ready Passports.
Common Services Centers (CSCs) – These will be service delivery points at the village level for the agriculture, health, education and utilities sectors.
Jeevan Pramaan – This is the biometric ID that government pensioners can invoke to ensure they receive the money due to them.
Mygov.in – Lasty, mygov.in is an onlline forum where citizens can participate in their local governance, by suggesting solutions to civil problems, tracking the activity of their representatives, and reviewing government decisions.
Digital India aims to provide employment to 1.7 crores directly and 8.5 crores indirectly. The aim is to make India a global leader of services in health, education and banking. If executed Digital India can truly become a game-changer for this aspiring superpower.

Howard Berg the Fastest Reader Guinness Book of World Record holder, sat in for an interview this morning.
Writer Ray Bradbury died Tuesday night at the age of 91 in his Los Angeles home. Bradbury is perhaps best known for his book Fahrenheit 451, a novel depicting a dystopian future where books are outlawed
I saw the article in the Tri-City Herald today about Benton City's Chelsea McClammer and can't help be impressed!
Student loan debt may be skyrocketing, but the students themselves will likely leave school with some nice presents — a new survey shows Americans will spend almost $5 billion on graduation gifts this year.
I read an article in the National Post this morning and I thought is was interesting! It has to do with women and how we rank around the world in education,politics,life expectancy ect..
Graduation is just around the corner, and now is the time for high schoolers to start deciding what college they want to attend next semester and college grads to choose a career with the least potential for unemployment benefits in two years.
Some, however, won't get a diploma that they can hang on their wall (assuming that they make enough to afford a frame for it). Here some ways to tell if you'll be one of them.
A small group of seniors at Cascade High School in Clayton, IN celebrated their upcoming graduation with a prank, covering school doors, offices and windows with more than 12,000 colorful Post-It notes.
But the school superintendent apparently didn't think it was so funny — he suspended almost 60 students, and a janitor accused of helping during the prank could lose her job.
It's no news that smoking is bad for us, and that the risks are compounded for expectant mothers.
Research shows pregnant smokers have a higher risk of premature births, birth defects, low birth weight, miscarriages and stillbirths — so it's especially shocking that a new study reveals more than a fifth of white women continue to light up while they're eating for two.
Nearly a third of Americans would get a big fat "F" on a citizenship test, according to a new study. The lack of knowledge mostly pertains to civics questions.
Spring is here and it's time to dust of the golf clubs and get out on the course. Big Jim and I claim to be golfers but just simply owning a set of clubs and in my case proper golf attire does not make a golfer. So this season we've decided to get serious or at least not be hackers when we golf. Hey everyone has to start somewhere.

I was so pleasantly surprised with the smell of this perfume. I haven't been a fan of the samples sent because they all seem way too floral and fruity for my taste, but I loved the hints of spicy undertones. This is a great year-round perfume, but I'm just not sure about spending that much on a perfume.4

Special Resolutions that were passed at the AGM will bring about one significant change for our members. The date of our AGM will change to the first weekend of October beginning in 2016.
Many of you will remember that we announced the AGM 2016 location, but our site visit illuminated some issues which would make the location unsuitable for our AGM event. We will be identifying another Interior region location.
Watch for upcoming newsletters for more information about AGM 2016.

Record and still increasing personal dissatisfaction, party poll numbers evaporating, and a sleazy track record of backfired attempts to frame political opponents. Most recently was a fabricated sexual assault case (blatantly exposed as such in the federal court). The voters know him too well now, compared to the previous election. He represents nothing they want, or can believe in, as a leader. An unpopular populist. He's done.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.

Join us for an artist talk with Lisa Dillin and Allison Spence on July, 7th at 7pm
New Work by Adam Ryder + Dan Perkins
August 8, 2015 – September 12, 2015
Opening Reception: August 8th, 7pm
Adam Ryder "Renovatio Imperii"
Through photography, found imagery and other media, Adam Ryder presents a new body work that operates as evidence of a secretive fraternal organization. The group, known to its members as "Renovatio Imperii" (latin for "restoration of the Empire") is purported to be clandestinely involved in geo-political affairs and claims ties to the Roman imperium of classical antiquity.
Dan Perkins (Title TBA)
Dan Perkins' most recent paintings show vignettes of a fragmented, perhaps fruitless, journey. Viewed from fictional windows, interiors, cracks and crevices, the paintings place the spectator in the role of a solitary romantic traveller exploring mysterious terrain.
