If you can all believe it, 2016 is happening in a few days and if I'm being honest: I still haven't read everything I wanted to read. I realize it's impossible to read everything you want to read, but dammit, I tried. I thought I'd try to layout some resolutions this year and see how I do. I'm not the best at keeping resolutions, but I'm going to try.
- In 2015 I participated in the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge, and I did not complete it. I was one book away from completing it, but it was a book I just wasn't in the mood for. Part of my issue is I am a mood reader, and if I don't feel in the mood for the book I am reading, I set it aside until I'm ready to read it. Considering I read 400+ books in 2015, I think it's okay to have not completed this challenge. What I learned from the Book Riot Challenge is that while it's great to read things out of your comfort zone, sometimes you just don't want to be restricted to what you're reading. So in 2016, I'm going to just work on reading whatever the heck I want and not make reading feel like a job.
- So my Goodreads Goal in 2015 was 311 books (which was the amount I completed in 2014). My goal for 2016 is going to be 200 books, and if I exceed that (which apparently is totally do-able because I am a crazy person), then I will bump it up. However, I'm not going to try to do 400ish books again because lets face it, you REALLY don't remember what you read.
- Read at least 100 books from my personal TBR Shelf of Shame. I have roughly 200+ physical books that I haven't read yet, and I've made it a priority to read what I can, and if it's not a favourite or a book I want to loan to friends then I donate it to the public library I work at. I want to work on paring my shelves down, because I just own too many books. I want to read ALL of them, but I also need to make space!
- Participate in more read-a-thons. I LOVE read-a-thons and find them to be fantastic motivators to work through my TBR. Especially if they have challenges because it forces me to read some of the older stuff on my shelves, which I often need more encouragement to tackle. 2016 has a few read-a-thons I'm already aware of, so I'll be diving in (Such as #TBRTakedown!)
- To not be bound to my ARC pile. River and I get a stupid amount of ARCs in the mail — we love reviewing books for you guys, but I do find that sometimes I tend to put my ARC pile over my regular reading pile and that's kinda bad given that it means I don't tackle my personal books as much. I usually try to do one ARC, then a personal book, then an ARC again and for the most part that methods works, but sometimes I want to just read what I want when I want.
- Less library books. So fact about me: I'm a library technician who works in both an academic library and a public library. Guess who brings books home from work a lot. Yeah, this is pretty tough for me, especially because when I'm doing rovering reference I tend to find stuff on the shelves that I'm like "Oooooo I need to borrow this" and then I do, and then I neglect my personal book piles. Currently I have four books out, so once I read those, I think I'll just do stacks of four that way I'm not going too crazy with my holds. We'll see though.
- Finish at least five series. I love my book series, and I always end up in the middle of too many at once. I want to just sit down and finish a few, or at least get myself caught up in the series if it's incomplete. There's nothing worse than starting a series you enjoyed and then being like, "Why haven't I read the next one yet?" especially when you own it. The five series I'd like to catch up on/finish are: The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (I just need to read Winter!), The Reckoners trilogy (just need to read Calamity when it releases) by Brandon Sanderson, The Fairyland series by Cathrynne M. Valente (just need to read books 4 and 5!), the Salavage duology by Alexandra Duncan (I own both books, just need to sit and read them!) and lastly, the Dreamdark duology by Laini Taylor because I have had them forever.
- Read more Adult Fiction. Since I started blogging with River, my main focus has been on YA and Middle Grade (mainly because in my public library work that's the demographic I work with), so adult fiction tends to get pushed aside. Sadly thing is, I LOVE IT. Especially a meaty fantasy series, so I need to get back on this train. Hell, even some non-fiction would be good too!
- Write more personal posts. I used to do this all the time and now it's something I hardly do. I'm a bit shy when it comes to talking about myself, mostly due to my anxiety or because I've been burned by people in the past. Reviewing and blogging helps me work all of that out, but I'm still nervous about talking personally about myself. Hopefully I can break this habit and try to share more personal stuff (even if it's slightly bookish too) too.
- Just continue to love reading and blogging. I love this community so much and River has been an amazing piece of encouragement for me, especially for bouncing ideas off of, venting, and just goofing around and being silly. She's a huge part of why I do things here, and I love sharing my reading experiences with her. Reading is something that keeps me grounded, and while I have no desire to ever be a published author, reading is not just for pleasure as it's a huge part of my library work. I want it to be more pleasure based again though, and that's something I need to work on balancing.
What are some of your bookish resolutions? I'd love to know if any of what I've posted above is something you struggle with or if it's something you also want to work on. Here's to a fantastic 2016, full of happiness and good books!

The teenage victim who was murdered in Camden on Monday is a "former Southampton FC youth player" who had become involved with gang violence, according to friends.
Alex Smith is reported to be the teenager who died on Munster Square in north-west London after being chased by a group of people with a machete before being stabbed multiple times.
Friends of the 16-year-old claim that Alex had "gone off the rails" after he was released by his former club.
One told the Sun Online: "I was good friends from around age six to 14, but in the last couple of years he went off the rails.
"We played at Southampton FC youth team together but he got released and then got involved with the wrong people."
They added: "I think he was then involved in gang violence… he wasn't going to school."
A spokesperson for Southampton FC said Alex was never officially signed but added: "He may have trialled or trained at our London Development Centre."
An eyewitness said they heard cries of "help me" before the teenager collapsed near the doorstep of his family home.

He died at the scene in Munster Square after police were called at around 11.10pm on Monday.
Three young men were heard "screaming and laughing" as they pursued him with a machete, according to the eyewitness, who did not want to be named.
One eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said: "I was just in my room and all I heard was screaming and shouting.
"Through my bedroom window I could see everything.
"We just saw the three boys holding him. He said 'help me, help me, help me'.
"He collapsed on the floor and then it was quiet."
The victim's stomach was visibly bloodied, she said.
The suspected attackers are thought to have fled in a car, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Healy said: "We believe the victim was chased around the square by a number of suspects prior to being stabbed a number of times.
"The suspects made off in a vehicle which was discovered burnt out nearby.
"Another vehicle believed to be involved in the incident was also found burnt out some distance away."
A man who lives near to where the body was found, who did not want to be named, said the square has recently become a hotspot for drug taking and groups of men regularly gather there.
Any witnesses or anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number CAD8433/12Aug.

Quick Tip - Nontraditional Legal Conflicts That Can Get Attorneys into Hot Water
Attorneys and law firms rightfully focus a significant amount of resources on risk management practices to avoid costly malpractice claims, but there are other lesser-known conflicts that deserve some attention too.
Casual Legal Advice
Those outside the legal profession are often fuzzy about exactly constitutes an attorney-client relationship or how one is created. Attorneys are frequently asked for legal advice from friends, relatives, and business associates who approach them outside the office and engage them in conversation about a legal issue. Attorneys need to be careful not to dish out any legal advice during these conversations, even when pressed to do so, as advice given without proper documentation can create potential conflict issues later, particularly if the advice is taken but does not result in the desired results.
Undefined Clients
When a single representation involves more than one client, but appears that all the potential clients are a single person or legal entity. For purposes of conflict-of-interest resolution, each separate capacity and entity may be a separate client with interests distinct from the others. In these circumstances, the lawyer and law firm might need to employ multiple procedures to avoid unidentified or unresolved conflicts. The best way to avoid misunderstanding regarding the identity of the client is to specify exactly who the client is and identify any related individuals or entities that the lawyer is not representing in the retainer agreement.
Unwaivable Conflicts
While many conflicts can be resolved by client consent, some cannot be waived. For example, an attorney cannot typically represent both the plaintiff and the defendant in the same matter, or both the buyer and the seller in the same real estate transaction. Generally speaking, a lawyer cannot represent a client whose interests would be adverse or contrary to the interests of another client of the lawyer or law firm. In almost all cases, if a lawyer has a conflict of interest, every other attorney in the firm has the same conflict of interest, although there are some limited exceptions.

I have lurked around the past month or so to decide what RC forum to join. I chose this one so I hope it's a good place to be. 😀 I have always owned Traxxas electric products and hands down since I upgraded to the max. My 1/10 Slash 4x4, TSM, AOB with blue tooth technology is a beast.
I purchased my first Nitro. I am playing it smart by finding a well taken care of 1/10 Nitro 4 Tec 3.3. What I need help with at the moment is from the factory these cars have a starter kit with them. Mine being slightly used I am not getting that with the car or any tools, parts etc. I know I need a electric starter and fuel but other than that I have no idea. It does have a new glow plug with it as well. I wanted to get what I need so that when the car arrives I will be ready to see what she's made of.
If someone could lead me in the right direction on this I would appreciate it. I'm good with just a link of some sort that has everything I need to get going.
Thanks in advance.
Was the starter kit simply removed and is missing or was this converted to a pull or bump starter set up? If you need the EZ start 2 system your best bet would be probably picking one up a complete one online. Assuming you are also not getting the starter "wand" you will need one of those and a 6 cell ni-cd battery for it.

Hey! Yes I am assuming he used the kit for all of his cars. I'm not really sure but I did see a MAX listed so he has several cars I guess. The extras I need in that starter kit was not part of the auction.
Electric starter
After run
Fuel bottle for fill ups
I hope that is all. I am checking out the link you provided. I looked before but they had so many starter kits with different items. I will check your link and will probably buy it. Thanks again, 👊🏼
You have any pictures of what you do have just to get any idea of what you need for sure? did you pick up one that is in pieces?
I am new to the 4 tec myself having picked up two used "parts or repair" cars in the past couple of months. Both of which I have made in to runners. Depending on the condition and how well it was cared for be prepared to having to clean the carb. My .15 needed a bit of cleaning to get it to run and the 2.5 needed a lot of cleaning and really needs a carb. After I got it running it died and I found about a quarter sized glob of dirty red jelly(old after run or air filter oil?) in the air filter housing. This was after I had pulled the engine out and had cleaned similar stuff out of it that was packed in to the point the engine wouldn't even turn. Don't forget you need a 6 cell stick pack for the "wand".

George Taylor was a stoker of the Titanic. He survived the sinking in the infamous emergency lifeboat 1.
Early Life Edit
Birth and Childhood Edit
He was born circa 1888 in Southampton. He was the son of Thomas Taylor (1862-1919) and Eliza Sibley (1863-1948). His father was a native of Blackpool, Lancashire and his mother a Southampton-native; his parents has married in Southampton in 1882.
George first appears on the 1891 census at an address in Wallsend, Northumberland. His father is described as a ship's riveter. Also present on the census besides he and his parents are his siblings William and James. By the time of the 1901 census the family have moved back to Hampshire and are living at 60 Chapel Road, St Mary, Southampton. Another child, Dorothy, is present at this time.
Marriage and Family Edit
George was married in Southampton in 1908 to Elizabeth Potter (b. 1885 in Southampton to Robert Potter and Ann Payne). They appear as a married couple on the 1911 census as boarders at 35 Russell Street, Southampton, James described as a ship's stoker and his wife as a laundress. Also present are their three daughters Dorothy Florence (1909-1988), Margaret Elizabeth (1910-1996) and Rosina Lillian (1911-1969).
Titanic Edit
George worked as a stoker aboard the RMS Titanic. When he signed-on to the Titanic, on 6 April 1912, he gave his address as of 35 Russell Street, Southampton. His last ship had been the Balmoral Castle. As a fireman he received monthly wages of £6. However, he signed on using his brother James' name and age. His brother James was born in 1886 and unmarried in 1912. Why George used a pseudonym isn't clear, but present-day family confirm that George boarded under an assumed name.
Rescue Edit
George Taylor was rescued in Emergency Lifeboat 1. He was subsequently called to testify at the British inquiry into the sinking. He appeared before the Wreck Commisioner's court on 17 May 1912.
Later Life Edit
George returned to Southampton and seems to have continued a career at sea. He and his wife would late have two sons: George in 1913 and Robert in 1915.
George Taylor died in Southampton on December 28, 1931 in Southampton. He is buried in Hill Lane Cemetery in that city. His wife died September 7, 1967. His brother James, whose name he had borrowed in 1912, later married and had several children before his death in 1958.

MADISON, Wis. — In response to calls from the family of the victims of sexual assault who Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce outed in a $1 million ad campaign for Michael Screnock, WMC has taken down the list of its board of directors from its website.
"The family of the children who were victims of sexual assault who WMC outed demanded WMC's ad come down and in response WMC took down the names of its board of directors," said Scot Ross, One Wisconsin Now Executive Director. "This shows that in their desperation to try and win an election WMC knows it did something hideous and now they are trying to hide."

Imagine a mother killing her two teenage children because they were 'mouthy', and getting away with it, if she were to apply to the community and have them stoned to death? It could happen, even in this country. We are closer to this form of evil via Christian Reconstruction. Fortunately, we're still not there – yet. So, in Florida, Julie Schenecker is now on trial for murdering her 16 year old daughter Cathy and 13 year old son, Beau. They are going for an insanity defense.
On Monday, I ended up in the same small shop as a very gay male. He had on short shorts, his legs were waxed (better than mine), he wore turquoise sandals, with about three inches of ankle bracelets on each ankle. He had on about three inches of bracelets on each arm, dangle earrings, and some excellent sterling and turquoise rings. There was just a touch of make-up. In the world of Christian Reconstruction, he would be put to death.
"…"The Christian goal for the world," Recon theologian David Chilton has explained, is "the universal development of Biblical theocratic republics." Scripturally based law would be enforced by the state with a stern rod in these republics. And not just any scriptural law, either, but a hardline-originalist version of Old Testament law–the point at which even most fundamentalists agree things start to get "scary." American evangelicals have tended to hold that the bloodthirsty pre-Talmudic Mosaic code, with its quick resort to capital punishment, its flogging and stoning and countenancing of slavery, was mostly if not entirely superseded by the milder precepts of the New Testament (the "dispensationalist" view, as it's called). Not so, say the Reconstructionists. They reckon only a relative few dietary and ritualistic observances were overthrown…."
Do you know a young woman who has had a child outside of marriage? In the world of Christian Reconstruction she would be put to death.
If you are a woman who has engaged in premarital sex, you can be put to death for not remaining a virgin. The same does not apply to a man. It will not apply to a pedophile. Rapists will be held accountable and may be put to death, if they rape a virgin. If they rape a woman who is not a virgin, it's her fault.
Your opposition to slavery is not Biblical, we are told. Slavery, is/was a just institution that helped the families of those who were not white. Under Christian Reconstruction we will see a re-establishment of this so-called just institution. It will be expanded to include those who are in debt, and the socially undesirable.
Democracy is heresy. It is a tool of the devil, to be eliminated. It is to be replaced with theonomy – God's kingdom on earth, where anointed patriarchs have been told by God, how to rule, etc. Anyone who disagrees with them, is to be executed as a heretic, including any elected official United States official who does not agree to go along with their requirements.
And so forth and so long…..
"…For connoisseurs of surrealism on the American right, it's hard to beat an exchange that appeared about a decade ago in the Heritage Foundation magazine Policy Review. It started when two associates of the Rev. Jerry Falwell wrote an article which criticized Christian Reconstructionism, the influential movement led by theologian Rousas John (R.J.) Rushdoony, for advocating positions that even they as committed fundamentalists found "scary." Among Reconstructionism's highlights, the article cited support for laws "mandating the death penalty for homosexuals and drunkards." The Rev. Rushdoony fired off a letter to the editor complaining that the article had got his followers' views all wrong: They didn't intend to put drunkards to death.
Ah, yes, accuracy does count…."
What started me down this nasty little path was the story about Julie Schenecker's murder of her two mouthy teen children. What would have happened, had she have claimed that, as a follower of R. J. Rushdoony, and Christian Reconstruction that she had a Biblical right to put her disobedient teens to death? It is based on Deut 21:18-21:
If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the gate of that place. They shall say to the elders of his town, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.' Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death. So you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel will hear, and be afraid.
Well…. When we get into the first five books of the Old Testament, I have a really bad habit of turning to Torah for an explanation. Why not? According to Rabbi Joyce Newmark:
Also according to the Stone Edition of the Chumash, p. 1047 never once, was a young man executed in this way. According to the Sages, there never was nor never will be a young man executed in this way. According to Dr. Mark Weisstuch:
"...In like manner, the Rabbis scrutinize the text. When it says the son "does not heed his father and mother," Rabbi Yehudah affirms (Sanhedrin 41a) that an insubordinate son may not be killed unless his parents speak with the same voice, look the same and are the same height! Failing that absolute congruence, no such punishment can be administered. Further limiting the applicability of the law, the Rabbis stipulate the specific quantity of wine and food that must be consumed. They also define the time period during which the law is applicable to the three-month period after a boy's bar mitzvah! As a result, no stoning ever could occur. It is virtually impossible for such a punishment ever to be realized. The Talmud concludes: "There never has been a 'stubborn and rebellious son' and never will be." The Rabbis have deployed literalism to defeat the literal requirements of the commandment…."
William Einwechter, wrote, in the January 1999 issue of Rushdoony's Chalcedon Report that even a rebellious daughter could be stoned to death. Compare it to Torah tradition.
"…The kind of rebellion against parental authority described in this case law is called "evil" (v. 21). It is evil because it holds both God and his law (i.e., the command to honor parents) in derision. It is evil because it threatens the very existence of the family, and therefore, of society itself. It is evil because it signals the rejection of all God-ordained authority and leads to civil and ecclesiastical disorder. God considers it such a dangerous evil that it must be extinguished by death at the hands of the civil magistrate.4
Those who consider death as a horrible punishment here must realize that in such a case as described in Deuteronomy 21:18-21, "death" is inescapable. Contempt of parental authority, if left unchecked, is the death of the family, law, and order. The question then is: Who or what should die? The rebel, or family and society? Furthermore, the life of a rebel inevitably leads to the grave (sheol; cf. Pr. 30:17); he will die an early death, and probably take others with him. Finally, God himself declares that even if such a rebel against parental authority escapes the judgment of man, his curse is upon that man and he shall be cut off (DT 27:16; Pr. 30:17). Therefore, the execution of the rebel in view is just, merciful, and preventive. Just, in that the transgressor deserves to die; merciful, in that his quick death prevents the destruction of the family, society, and others; preventive, in that it strikes fear in the heart of other would-be rebels and restrains them from taking a similar ruinous course.
Theonomists must not be embarrassed by the law of Deuteronomy 21:18-21, nor should they be chagrined when others try to use it to discredit the case laws of the Old Testament. Properly understood, it displays the wisdom and mercy of God in restraining wickedness so that the righteous might flourish in peace. It is those who reject this case law that should be embarrassed, for they have cast reproach on God and his law, cast aside the testimony of Christ,5 and have substituted their own imaginations (Jer. 7:24) for the blessed word of God."…"
Maybe Julie Schenecke should use the Christian Reconstruction defense. She was just following orders. The terrifying part of all of this is the fact that we're looking at Republican politicians who want to implement this Rushdoony's version of "Gods" law. God Help Us All!

Dehradun: - The 20th Gyalyum Chenmo Memorial Cup, the biggest football tournament in exile, was held in Dhondupling (Clementown), Dehradun this year. 27 teams from various Tibetan settlements in India participated, out of which 21 qualified for the tournament.
The teams reported at Dhondupling on 2nd June and the managers, coaches and captains met with the tournament officials the next day. The opening ceremony was held on 4th June, after which the opening game commenced between Manduwala FC and Dhondupling team A, ending in a 2-0 victory for the latter.
The teams had been divided into 7 pools, A-G. The tournament proceeded with the top team from each pool progressing into the quarter finals, where 8 teams played. The semi final was played Dhondupling FC Team A v/s Gulladhala FC and Pokhara FC v/s Mundgod FC. Dhondupling FC stormed into the finals with a 2-0 win over Gulladhala FC as Pokhara FC matched their feat with two goals to nil against Mundgod.
Dhondupling also got to observe a friendly match between the Tibetan National Women's football team and the women's team from Dehradun's Football Academy. The result was a disappointing 5-2 for the Tibetan Women's team, yet an impressive display of football and sportsmanship from both teams.
The fan favorites Dhondupling FC, who were playing on their home ground had the locals for their support as the match kicked off on 15th June. The match was an exciting display of football with both teams almost equally matched, but Dhondupling failed to convert their chances into goals. The first blow came in the first half as Pokhara's Dhudul scored. Dhondupling FC's attempts at goal were thwarted by unimpressive shots and Pokhara defenders as the second half progressed. Pokhara's striker Norbu Dorjee sealed their victory with a clinical finish and the match ended 2-0 for the disappointed home team.
The closing ceremony was held after the final match, where the winning team lifted the GCM cup once again after 11 long years. Awards followed. With Mundgod FC recieving the Fair Play Award and Pokhara's goal machine Norbu Jinpa announced the top scorer with 9 goals under his belt.
The 20th GCM was an event that put forth Tibetan's love for football, as fans from near and far came to watch the matches. Others kept themselves updated on social networking sites such as Facebook, where a popular, page, "GCM" put up commentary, pictures and videos of the tournament.

Blood pressure refers to the amount of blood that is pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance to blood flow in the arteries. High blood pressure occurs as your heart pumps more blood and your arteries become narrower. This condition generally develops over several years.
High blood pressure symptoms include:
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Nosebleed
High blood pressure has been associated with several life-threatening complications. If blood pressure is not controlled, it can damage your arteries and lead to heart failure, aneurysm and kidney problems.
The good news about hypertension is that it is controllable. There are numerous medications that help manage blood pressure, such as thiazide diuretics, beta blockers and alpha blockers. By taking these medications as scheduled and visiting the doctor regularly, you should be able to avoid some of the serious complications of hypertension. It is also important to eat healthy foods, exercise and keep your stress level down. If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and are not able to work, you may qualify for disability insurance benefits.

Because Target.com coupons are so rare! (And because I like cheap Mossimo tank tops and there's a pair of Cynthia Vincent for Target sandals on clearance I always thought were cute) This just saved me $5. Yay! Use code "XAN6PTS9". Ends tomorrow, Saturday, Jul 17.
* Offer excludes kitchen appliances, baby formula and baby diapers + wipes.
I wonder if this stacks with their current "15% Off Purchases of $125+ of Furniture"-- which could be a really nice discount if you need bigger ticket items! (and that one doesn't need a code)

Sugar Land Moms Weekend Drive
During the month of December, Mercedes-Benz of Sugar Land partnered with the Sugar Land Mom's Network for a special weekend drive in the stylish Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Coupe. Sara Ahmed, blogger for the Sugar Land Mom's network, stated: "Launching a small business is grueling work and when local merchants help each other, it cultivates community for all. My partnership with Mercedes-Benz of Sugar Land brought forth such a wonderful opportunity to work with one of the biggest brands in our community. Gifting one of our local moms a Weekend Drive experience was an impactful (and brilliant!) way to connect with women in our community who felt seen and appreciated. Thank you so much for bringing me to the table and giving prominence to our mom-lead organization all the while fostering a culture of a collective family."
Sara was not only treated to a weekend in a Mercedes-Benz, but she and her family enjoyed Peppa Pig Live from the Mercedes-Benz of Sugar Land Suite at the Smart Financial Centre. View the slider above for highlights and photos from the weekend.

Hello from the GreenBox Intern. It's been a heckuva weekend.
As you loyal readers well know, the GreenBox was a featured product at the International Restaurant and Food Service Show of NY. The show was a tremendous success for ECO Incorporated and the GreenBox. I can't say the same for myself, however.
The first day of the massive and well-attended trade show was this past Sunday. Now, I should say that I normally don't work on the Sabbath, preferring to pass the day in quiet contemplation of the divine mysteries. I was persuaded to relax this policy when GreenBox CEO William Walsh told me that if I didn't show up, I would meet God personally and I could "whine to Him" all I wanted (capitalization mine). Setting aside my religious convictions for the sake of the company, I decided that the inevitable financial success of the GreenBox would allow me to purchase not only a vacation home in Montauk, but also a papal dispensation for selling soap on a Sunday. I decided to take Will's existential threat to heart and lend a helping hand.
So it was that I endured an early-morning commute on the Day of Rest and arrived at the Javits Center bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. As Marketing Director Ned Kensing bustled about setting up the goods at the GreenBox booth, I went to the registration desk to claim my Exhibitor Pass for the show. Immediately, confusion reigned – my name was not on the list of official exhibitors with Imperial Bag & Paper. A quick phone call to CFO Jennifer Wright cleared everything up – CEO William Walsh had put me on the list as "Seymour Butts". I was forced to endure the indignity of repeating this moniker to the attractive young woman behind the counter. She did her best not to laugh while issuing me my pass, and I made a mental note to put a tack on Will's chair the next time I was in the office.
In this humiliating manner I finally obtained access to the sprawling convention floor. For the rest of this account, please keep in mind that I was wearing a GreenBox T-shirt with a laminated card pinned to the front emblazoned with the words "Seymour Butts – Imperial Bag & Paper".
As I descended the escalator to the convention floor, I was struck by the size and scale of the show – hundreds of booths, thousands of people, and lots of food on offer. Just as I was about to sample a particularly succulent morsel of prime rib, Marketing Director Ned Kensing grabbed me by the elbow and dragged me through the teeming masses over to the Imperial Bag & Paper booth. Little did I know that was the closest I'd come to nourishment for the rest of the day.
We arrived at the booth. Talk about prime real estate – centrally located and impressively appointed, the IB&P booth was without a doubt the centerpiece of the entire show. Ned and Jen held court, demonstrating the GreenBox for an endless succession of convention-goers – industry folks, the media, and everyday consumers who all seemed blown away by the simplicity and functionality of the product.
As usual, I slowly faded in to the background in the face of my older brother's charm and charisma. As I watched Ned demonstrate the GreenBox for a busty young woman who seemed to have left the top portion of her outfit at home, I was transported back to my youth. You see, Ned was always the center of attention – good-looking, well muscled, and with a disdain for authority which applied to both our parents and to the penal code of New York State. In short, he was a charmer, possessed of a zest for living that would someday trouble countless teachers and mental health professionals. Who knew it would someday make him in to an incredible salesman and the most dynamic presence at the International Restaurant and Food Service Show of NY? More to the point, what was I doing here? How could I possibly compete with this Adonis of the food packaging industry?
Fact is, I couldn't. I was quickly forgotten as Jen and Ned worked their magic. At one point a higher-up with Imperial Bag & Paper caught my eye and pointed sternly at the "No Loitering" sign on the outside of the booth. Indignant, I flashed my pass and then remembered the name thereon – surely he would realize that no one named "Seymour Butts" was in his employ. Seeing the suspicious glances I was beginning to receive from the "suits" in the booth, I decided I had better hoof it back to the office and stick to blogging – I wasn't the face of this company, after all (if anything, I'm the soul).
And so I left Jen and Ned to their work – and believe you me, they were working. Over the course of the expo, they tirelessly deomstrated the functionality and the mission of the GreenBox to hundreds and hundreds of people. And they'll be doing the same this week in Las Vegas at the International Pizza Expo.
As for me, I decided that I wasn't cut out for trade shows, so I'd be staying behind in NYC to hold down the fort. That also has something to do with the fact that no one invited me to Las Vegas. Either way, I'll be providing continued coverage of the GreenBox National Tour – a tour that is laying the groundwork for a revolution in the pizza industry. Very soon, this nation will be wondering "How in tarnation did we put up with that standard pizza box for all of these years?" Think about it – if they hadn't updated cars or elevators for half a century, would we stand for it? I think not.
Stay tuned for updates, and follow us on Twitter and Facebook – I'll be posting pictures and more from both shows…as soon as Ned decides to answer one of my phone calls.

"It is not always clear when prayer meetings are part of the revival itself or are proceeding it. But the distinction does not matter too much. Prayer is both the cause and result of the coming of the Spirit in revival."
~ Brian H. Edwards, Revival! A People Saturated With God, 78.
"Almost every Christian leader today laments a lack of personal prayer, but very few are determined to do anything about it. We are not sufficiently concerned to make a radical alternation in our diaries and get down to the 'unproductive' and unnoticed battle of assaulting heaven. We would all prefer to be compared with Hezekiah rather than his father Ahaz, but it was the latter who 'shut the doors of the Lord's temple', and in our lack of prayer we have done just that."
~ Brian H. Edwards, Revival! A People Saturated With God, 76-77.
"In describing how revival comes we can never overlook the part that urgent prayer and confident expectation play. There must be especially among the leaders, the determination that God will come, that he must come!"
~ Brian H. Edwards, Revival! A People Saturated With God, 75.
by Bill Muehlenberg
Revival is the need of the hour. All true Christians long for and pray for revival. Without sweeping revival we are in very dire straits. And it is certainly true that we NEED revival far more than what we need to read about revival. But offering helpful works on revival can help us to get more of a hunger and a thirst for genuine revival.
"At a time like this there are two things that Christians ought to be doing. First, we should be studying our Bibles to find out what God has to say on the subject of revival and, second, we should be searching into our history to discover what God has done in the past. I believe the result of those two things must drive us to prayer."
~ Brian H. Edwards, Revival! A People Saturated With God, 17-18.
"There can be nothing better on earth than a true Holy Spirit revival…"
~ Brian H. Edwards, Revival! A People Saturated With God, 15.
"We often have a tinted view of revival as a time of glory and joy and swelling numbers queuing to enter the churches. That is only part of the story. Before the glory and joy, there is conviction; and that begins with the people of God. There are tears of godly sorrow. There are wrongs to put right, secret things…to be thrown out, and bad relationships, hidden for years, to be repaired openly. If we are not prepared for this, we had better not pray for revival."
~ Brian Edwards
"A true Holy Spirit revival is a remarkable increase in the spiritual life of a large number of God's people, accompanied by an awesome awareness of the presence of God, intensity of prayer and praise, a deep conviction of sin with a passionate longing for holiness and unusual effectiveness in evangelism, leading to the salvation of many unbelievers. Revival is remarkable, large, effective and, above all, it is something that God brings about"
A true revival begins always with those who are believers in New Testament Christianity and, as Edwin Orr wisely reminds us. "more particularly those who had enjoyed the New Testament experience of conversion and regeneration". Revival is therefore an evangelical experience; it is an "evangelical awakening".
Douglas Brown experienced revival in 1921 in Scotland. He defined revival as:
Revival is a church word; it has to do with God's people. You cannot revive the world; the world is dead in trespasses and sins; you cannot revive a corpse. But you can revitalize where there is life…
(quoted in Revival: A People Saturated With God by Brian H. Edwards, 27).

Mike Campbell is hitting the Instagram airwaves and will host a regular videologue from behind the scenes of the Fleetwood Mac tour. The Fleetwood Mac 2018-2019 Tour launches Tuesday, Oct. 16.
Campbell was selected along with Neil Finn to join Fleetwood Mac last April.
"This is the beginning of my videologue," says Mike in his first installment, presumably photographed by a friend or bandmate. "I'll be checking with you throughout the tour and let you know where we are and what's happening."
The songwriter, lead guitarist and co-founder of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers then walks around the dressing room, pointing out some fringe benefits.
"Then over here we have our standard rock star assortment of food, we have grapes, cheese and little crackers," he points out.
He even threw in a plug for his band The Dirty Knobs.

Online direct lender for installment loans for "Www Directloantransfer Com Phone Number" Have you heard a lot of people using payday loans to get access to cash? If so, you are probably interested in trying it out yourself. But first, you must familiarize yourself with how this type of loan actually works. It's not uncommon to hear of other people getting into debt because of their failure to make timely payments. The last thing you want is to borrow money from an alternate lender in order to pay off emergency expenses but end up with even more expenses because you cannot afford to pay the high-interest rate. Get cash today at Www Directloantransfer Com Phone Number.
Www Directloantransfer Com Phone Number, The largest disadvantage to using payday loans is that they have a high-rate of interest, the one that is considerably higher than that of a personal loan. However, this is justified because you will be essentially a greater risk client. There exists a good reason that you choose a payday advance more than a personal loan. Banks probably do not want to work with you due to your poor credit, forcing you to look into alternate lenders. These lenders are taking a massive risk by lending money to those who have been rejected by banks.
It's also important to find out that the cash advance typically may last for only 2 weeks for up until the next payday. When you receive your paycheck, you need to make sure your loan will likely be paid. Otherwise, you risk paying hefty penalty fees. Here is the mistake countless folks have made when using payday cash loans. The APR of this type of loan is specially high, which is why more and more people fall into debt after making untimely payments.
You should also be mindful when choosing what company you deal with. Be sure you select a reputable company like DirectLoanTransfer Payday Loans. They have been helping clients get emergency cash for quite some time, causing them to be a household name in the industry. Also, they are renowned for providing a streamlined application process. Everything can be accomplished online, and you can get approved within minutes.
All you need to do is submit the internet application form thus hitting the submit button. Their team of loan experts will review your information and documents. After getting approved, you must sign your documents online. Once all things are all said and done, the funds may go straight to your banking accounts about the following working day.
The corporation even offers several payment options. You may pay in full on the exact due date. This is deducted from your bank account. You may also create a lengthy repayment schedule. This proves useful in case you are not able to be worthwhile the entire amount borrowed all at once. This gives unmatched flexibility, helping you to better manage your funds.
Direct Loan Transfer Online Payday Loans must be one of the top choices of alternative lenders. Provided that you are in least 18 years, happen to be working for about 30 days, possess a banking account, and get two personal references, you shouldn't have issues getting approved for your personal cash advance.

Missouri Western fumbled away the opening kickoff, and from this point on, the Griffons stumbled on their senior night and fell to the streaky Lopers 49-21.
Nebraska-Kearney averages 336.7 yards on the ground per game. Last Saturday, the Lopers ran for 528 yards on 71 carries. While Missouri Western's offense was limited to 300 yards, rushing for 99 and passing for 201.
Head coach Matt Williamson was not happy with the team at all after the loss.
"We didn't play well on any facet of the game," Williamson said. "We knew coming in that they would run — we just thought we could win the edge."
UNK found out early that it was playing more physical than Missouri Western, running almost identical plays for the entire first quarter with the Griffons not being able to answer anything.
After the fumbled kickoff, the Lopers were able to score quickly on an eight-yard run by Luke Qunn. The extra point was blocked, though, and freshman Trey Vaval would return to the field with a vengeance. On the next kickoff, he took the ball and he ran it 85 yards for a touchdown.
What happened next would be a staple of what UNK would do the rest of the game. The Lopers ran the ball for 10 plays, 83 yards and took off five minutes and 48 seconds off the clock and scoring. And with their successful two-point conversion, it was 14-7, UNK.
The Griffons were forced to punt later on in the second quarter, and on the Lopers first play with the ball, Darrius Webb ran it 59 yards for a touchdown. 21-7, UNK. The scoring wasn't done in the second quarter though, as Shamar Griffith took a pitch and ran 41 yards to the house for a score, making it 21-14, UNK.
After stifling the Loper offense, the Griffons thought they'd be able to get their defense off the field with a four-and-out. Their defense did get off the field, but it was after giving up a 53-yard passing touchdown, one of only six passing attempts the entire game by the Lopers.
Defensive back junior Devan Burrell dove to try and break up the pass but was just short on the play.
"I remember being off-balance," Burrell said. "Gotta locate the receiver before I locate the ball. Get my hands on the receiver so I can keep my balance and get up to the ball."
For the record, the extra point for that touchdown was also blocked, the Griffons sixth blocked extra point on the year. The score was now 27-14, UNK.
The teams went to the locker room with different talking points to their teams. The Griffons were trying to find away to attack the Lopers option attack, while the Lopers were trying to think of a way to keep the Griffons, a historically good second half team, down for the count.
Coming out of the locker room, you wouldn't have known that. The first drive for the Lopers was a 13 play, 73-yard touchdown drive that ate up 6:10 off the clock and ended with a nine-yard TJ Davis rushing touchdown. One successful two-point conversion later, and it was 35-14.
Senior offensive lineman Shawn Rouse was not thinking of excuses when looking back on this game.
"We got out physicaled at the line," Rouse said. "All I was trying to do was make my blocks, and they beat us a couple times."
Missouri Western wasn't ready to quit though, and this is something we've seen from this team time and time again this year. A two-minute drive covering 73 yards on six plays capped off with a touchdown from Wyatt Steigerwald to Kyle Berry made the score 35-21.
That would be the last we saw of the Griffons' offense.
Later in the game, Steigerwald was hit and fall on his shoulder, taking him out of the game, giving freshman Anthony Vespo some playing time, but the game was all but over. The Lopers left Spratt Stadium spoiling the Griffons Senior day, 49-21.
This rivalry between the Lopers and the Griffons has been interesting in recent years. Both Williamson and Josh Lynn — UNK head coach — were hired in 2017. The Griffons were on an eight-game winning streak over UNK at the time dating all the way back to 1996, and since these coaches have clashed, out of those three times, UNK is now leading 2-1.
Next Saturday the Griffons look to spoil a senior day of their own facing Lincoln. The Griffons come into this game with a 7-3 record and fighting for a bowl bid, while the Blue Tigers are currently 1-9 and trying to salvage a dud of a season.

Above: Model of a MALT1-Dependent Signaling Cascade Driving Endothelial Permeability
The Lucas / McAllister laboratory focuses on a complex of signaling proteins referred to as the CARMA-Bcl10-MALT1 (CBM) signalosome. The Lucas / McAllister group, along with several other laboratories around the world, first discovered this CARMA-Bcl10-MALT1 (CBM) signalosome because the genes encoding with its components are targeted by mutation and chromosomal mutation in lymphoid malignancy. The CBM signalosome plays a critical role in normal lymphocyte function by mediating receptor-dependent activation of the proinflammatory, pro-survival NF-κB transcription factor.
The laboratory has gone on to make major contributions in the understanding the mechanisms by which deregulation of the CBM complex promotes B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The group discovered that the API2-MALT1 fusion oncoprotein possesses unique gain-of-function MALT1 proteolytic activity that drives the proliferation and survival of malignant B-cells (Science, 2011;331:468-72 and Nature Communications, 2015;6:5908). The group is now also focusing on the mechanisms by which deregulated MALT1 activity promotes diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The CARMA-Bcl10-MALT1 Signaling Complex in Inflammatory and Neoplastic Disease. The team discovered that a CBM signalosome also functions outside of lymphocytes by operating downstream of specific G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in non-immune cells. In this case, the nonlymphoid-specific homologue CARMA3 substitutes for the lymphocyte-specific CARMA1.
The laboratory is actively studying the contribution of GPCR-induced, CBM dependent stimulation of NF-κB to a variety of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases and exploring the utility of inhibiting the CBM complex as a new approach for the treatment of these conditions. Specifically, the researchers have elucidated a new role for the CBM complex in mediating progression and metastasis of a variety of solid tumors, including breast cancer and sarcoma. The work was recently accepted for publication in the high-impact journal Cancer Research. In addition, the Lucas / McAllister research group has discovered a new role for MALT1 proteolytic activity in promoting GPCR induced endothelial permeability, a finding that was recently published in and featured on the cover of Cell Reports.
The Lucas / McAllister Laboratory is co-directed by Linda McAllister-Lucas MD, PhD, Division Chief of the Department of Hematology/Oncology, and Peter Lucas MD, PhD, faculty in the Department of Pathology. The lab includes twelve scientists at varying stages of training.

Students block Motijheel's 'Shapla Chattar'
Published : Wednesday, 1 August, 2018 at 3:44 PM Count : 595
Hundreds of college students blocked city's business hub Motijheel area demanding justice for Uttara accident victims.
Students of Notre Dame and Motijheel Ideal and Model Colleges gathered at 'Shapla Chattar' at noon and blocked the all link roads putting up barricades and chanting slogans. No vehicles except emergency or medical service cars were allowed on roads.
The blocked created a standstill in the area where commuters were seen helpless due to lack of transports.
Protester Rafi, a second year student of Notre Dame College, said they won't leave the streets without implementation of their nine-point demand. "The Shipping Minister's apology is not enough and we want clear outline from the government regarding an end to road accident."
Motijheel Ideal College student Saimon said "We don't want to see further death of our any brother or sister on the road. Shipping Minister must be quit. We'll stop the movement if our demands are met."
A good numbers of female students were also seen in the demonstration.
Students of schools and colleges blocked the city streets protesting road accident for the fourth consecutive day on Wednesday.

Men are used to seeing commercials that portray guys as dumb sheepish dorks, unable to do the basic things sensible, capable women can do. Leave them home alone with the kids and they'll put dish soap in the washing machine and the baby in the dryer. Plaid shirts untucked, dad-gut under a stained white T, whining to Mom-wife: Jane, stop this crazy thing so I can go drink beer in the garage!
The strong, wise, calm, friendly Father Knows Best type is just so troublesome. Especially in these days when women are being expelled from college en masse, shackled to kitchen tables, stripped of their footwear, and told to ovulate. But what if some men decided these ads were insulting and demanded that they be banned?
Other men would laugh, of course. But the U.K. ad biz would be keen to hear any complaints. As this Jezebel headline puts it, "Ads That Perpetuate Gender Stereotypes Will Be Banned in UK, but Not in the Good Ol' USA!"
Because we're awful. The U.K. guidelines are only advisory in nature, in the way Tony Knuckles strongly advises you pay back the money you borrowed to play ponies. But wouldn't it be great if it were really against the law to make unhelpful ads?
The author picks out some Yank spots that perpetuate gender stereotypes, and we're expected to hiss and scowl. Consider this example: A woman is sitting in a huge clock, eating pudding. She has a happy expression one would normally associate with inhaling a cubic yard of nitrous oxide and being dropped into room full of puppies.
She is eating pudding as people do in commercials, slowly withdrawing the spoon through smiling lips, closing her eyes in a transport of ecstasy as the chocolate sends chemical signals to the brain, where they detonate like Fourth of July firework shells. The clock indicates that this is her time. She has, in the words of the you-go-girl narrator, "washed the bills and paid all the dishes," and having battered her way through the daily chores like Joan of Arc hacking through the front line of an opposing army, she is entitled to this. You almost expect the ad to end with the woman on all fours, getting out every jot of chocolate like a dog working on a jar of peanut butter.
Some women may have found it insulting, but it's possible it tested well with women who like Jell-O chocolate pudding. They may have tested some commercials that showed a grimy female coal miner sitting on a folding chair in a warehouse, eating the pudding with the flat end of a chisel, but it didn't quite click.
The Jezebel article and the commenters were conflicted about a commercial that showed a little boy cutting the hair off his stuffed animals. He wears a vest and has black glasses and looks a bit pudgy. On one hand, of course it's Mom who has to clean up the hair with a Swiffer, and the fact that she does so while wearing high heels is even worse. On the other hand, the little boy could be gay, so that's kinda awesome.
Women are saddled with most of the domestic work, studies say. Apparently this means that advertising brainstorming sessions should ignore this fact:
"Okay, team! Let's create a series of ads where men pitch in with happy gusto, ferrying the kids around, disinfecting the trash can, doing the laundry. He finds some towels for the bathroom he just loves and brings them home, and then they have pudding! And he daubs a little pudding off her nose. Women will love it."
They make the commercial. The reviews come back: hated it. For one thing, when the husband takes the kids, they always stop at McDonald's and that throws off supper. He used to do the laundry but he folded everything wrong, and I told him that over and over — and worse, now he doesn't do it at all. Choosing towels? C'mon. We went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond once and he was bored after the first hour. And you don't use towels to wipe up pudding. Chocolate is hell to get out. You have to presoak, use the bleach stick — what was the product again? Insurance? Really?
The problem with trying to undo all these gender-role assumptions is the number of people who currently inhabit them, willingly. You can attribute this to false consciousness, brainwashing, the crushing Handmaid's Tale world in which we live, but it's possible there are lots of women who enjoy being a mom. When you wake up to a day with your toddler, you may have challenges to face, but the chance of a 3 p.m. meeting with a PowerPoint about actualizing strategies is a blissful nil. There are at least a few of such women, and corporations feel comfortable committing millions of dollars to creating charming domestic vignettes to sell them cleaning products.
Just saying it's possible.
The Millennials atwitter about bad ads don't want to watch ads anyway. Ads are things they see on YouTube and dismiss after five seconds. But they want the ads they don't see to send the right messages. Other people who stare drooling at the TV might look at an ad with a Harmful Message and conclude they should feel guilty because their son doesn't seem gender-flexible yet. Choice is all well and good of course, but if women don't choose to persist and resist but choose to have a little pudding after Cloroxing the diaper pail, things need to change.
Let's start with that whole "choice" and "free will" thing and see where it goes from there.

Orange Capsule
I know it's super cliched…but this palette is SO PIGMENTED.
This PIGMENTED palette is the Sugarpill C2 Orange Capsule ($42), an Ulta exclusive. This is my first experience with Sugarpill shadows, and I am very impressed. No primer needed with these shadows – they spread on the lid like butter. I was drawn to this palette for one particular shade – that bright turquoise shimmer – "Skyrise". Even though I loved they way it looked on me, my husband said I look like Mimi from The Drew Carey Show. He doesn't understand FASHION. Now I want the Pink Capsule Palette!
I also tried out a new brow pencil – Colourpop Brow Boss in "Dark Brown" ($6). It's a great price, but still not as good my Ulta Holy Grail for a few dollars more. It doesn't blend as well and fades throughout the day. It's fine for work, though.
Black Moon Lippies are 30% off ($12.60, down from $18) – I wonder if this means they are dropping the brand? Anyway, I picked up "Warrior", a Breast Cancer Awareness nude matte.
Oh, and I got a Women Founded Beauty Sample Bag, with it Cosmetics Mini Blurring Foundation Brush; Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer, Sweet Spot Labs Vanilla Blossom Gentle Wash (it says "gynecologist recommended", so I guess it is for my vajayjay?); Benefit The POREfessional, Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (I've tried this before and really like the smell); Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum; Pattern Heavy Conditioner for Coilies (will be gifted to a curly-headed friend); Sagely Naturals CBD Cream (I tried a previous sample of this while in Vegas, and it TINGLED so bad – I loved it); DefineMe Sofia Isabel Fragrance (an orangey vanilla rollerball); and Drybar Jump Start Quick Dry Blowout Serum.
I was able to use a $3.50 off coupon, leaving me with $1,007 more to get to Diamond again.
October 2019 Allure Beauty Box – On the Bright Side
Allure usually comes last each month, but this month it was first into my mailbox. I wonder why?
October's theme – "On the Bright Side" – is glowy products. The stand-out product is Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. I've repeatedly gotten samples of it and use it immediately – I love the way it smells, like a day at the beach.
Also in this month's box: Sunday Riley ICE Ceramide Moisturizing Cream (such a tiny sample); M-61 Powerglow Peel; ModelCo Metallic Eyeshadow Trio in "St. Tropez" (I thought this was the same trio I received in my February box , but the colors are slightly different; I used it this morning and the colors lean brassy); ModelCo Eyelites in "Granite" (I received an Eyelites in my April box, too – have not tried the product); Kneipp Mineral Bath Salt in "Dream Away" (Will be giving to one of my kids); and Lumify Eye Drops (I've gotten a few times and they work well enough – they're just too pricey for me to buy on my own).
I kind of feel that Allure is pushing a few brands repeatedly, month after month. I feel like they must have gotten a truckload of ModelCo and Sunday Riley and we'll be getting it monthly, no matter what.
The Allure Beauty Box is $15/month, but they give you $5 off your first box. They also offer an option for $150/year – a savings of $30. Sign up via my referral link.
January 2019 Allure Beauty Box – Thrill of the New
I'm not even gonna apologize for running late on reviews – I been busy as shit.
2019 brings big changes to the Allure Beauty Box – gone is the shiny red box, instead replaced by a generic cardboard mailer. That's okay though – because now the monthly goodies are coming inside a sleek plastic pouch. No word yet on whether we'll be getting the same red pouch every month, or they'll mix up the design – stay tuned.
In this month's all new pouch: Mally Shadow Stick Extra in "Burnished Bronze"; OUAI Scalp & Body Scrub (Hmmmm, not sure if I'm ready to be picking sugar out of my hair for a month – also includes a 15% off code for theouai.com); Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Face Oil; Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum (How did they know I'm retinol aged now?); Doucce Relentless Matte Lip Crayon in "Winterberry" (with a code for 25% off at doucce.com); and a pack of 2 Beautyblender Micro Mini Sponges.
And as a bonus this month, each subscriber received a nail polish from NCLA. I got and orangey red called "Call My Agent".
The Allure Beauty Box is $15/month, but they give you $5 off your first box. They also offer an option for $150/year – a savings of $30. Sign up via my referral link..
Sephora Play! January 2019 – Your Beauty Future
Ooohhh, this is the first Sephora Play box that has me like, what? Honey, what is you doing?
I hate it when Subscription Boxes try to give me vitamins or food or drinks or shit. We tried to be a good sport – Logan made up a mug of the Four Sigmatic Golden Latte Mushroom Mix with Shiitake & Turmeric. It tastes exactly how I imagined it would taste – HORRIBLE. It tastes like a…mushroom latte. Damn, I still have 2 of these packets left (Sephora gave me three) – anyone want them?
Once I got past that fuckery, the rest of the box isn't bad. Sephora and Allure are pushing Sunday Riley HARD – I've been getting their products every months. This month was Sunday Riley C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum – it's an okay product. Another one of my favorite products is this month's bonus – a foil pack of Bite Beauty Agave Sugar Lip Balm and Scrub.
Also included in this month's box: Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon in "Glace"; Laneige Water Sleeping Mask (another love); and a Beautyblender Blendercleanser Solid Pro.
Sephora Play is usually my favorite monthly beauty box every month – mushrooms aside. Sephora Play is only $10/month. You can sign up at sephora.com/play.
October 2018 Allure Beauty Box – Fall Update
View this post on Instagram
It has started…the busy season. The kids have a shit-ton of activities, the holidays have started and work is a clusterfuck. I'm sure I'll catch up – sometime in January.
Ooooh, another full box from Allure this month. The theme is "Fall Update" – a box full of fall products. I immediately perked up when I saw a very large tube of Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser and Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment. I feel like I'm getting Sunday Riley in every box these days. I ain't complaining.
Also in this month's box: Hourglass Caution Extreme Lash Mascara in "Ultra Black"; Yves Saint Laurent Matte Liquid Lip Stain in…no idea, the writing is way to small to tell what shade it is; Caudalie Vinopure Skin Perfecting Serum; First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream; and BKR Paris Water Balm.
The Allure Beauty Box is $15/month, but they give you $5 off your first box. They also offer an option for $150/year – a savings of $30. Sign up via my referral link..
Sephora Play! September 2018 – Next-Gen Beauty
View this post on Instagram
As soon as I saw that this month's products came in a fancy ziploc bag, I got suspicious…is Sephora starting to cut corners on their monthly box?
I was somewhat relieved when I poured this month's products into my lap – plenty of products, nice brands, too.
Sephora is pushing Sunday Riley hardcore. Not only did I get two of their products in this month's extra skincare box, but another one here – Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream. I think I have enough for a complete regime now!
Also in this month's Next-Gen box: Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer (I'm down on this brand after their messy Social Media drama, but I'll try this product); Peter Thomas Roth Hungarian Thermal Water Mineral-Rich Atomic Heat Mask (sounds fancy, yet scary at the same time); Nudestix Intense Matte Lip + Cheek Pencil in "Kiss"; Sephora Collection LashCraft Big Volume Mascara in "Black"; and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Nectar.
Don't worry, Sephora Play is still the BEST box I receive every month. Sephora Play is only $10/month. You can sign up at sephora.com/play.
Sephora Play! SMARTS – Skincare by Age: 40s
View this post on Instagram
I'm not ashamed to admit it – I'm in my 40s – and my skin needs help!
Sephora Play! launched three extra boxes this month – Skincare by Age for women in their 30s, 40s and 50s. All of the boxes have great products, so I decided not to be a glutton and order all of them. I just ordered the 40s box.
The first thing I tried out of the box was the Volition Detoxifying Silt Gelee Mask. I've never heard of this brand before – but I've never met a mask I didn't like. It was much thinner than a traditional mud mask, hence the silt? It kind of smelled like dirt, too…but it made my skin as soft as my 10 year old daughter's.
I've also been using the Tatcha The Water Cream. It's got an unusual slippery texture, but it sure does make my makeup stay on seamlessly, almost like it floats on my skin.
Also in the box: Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream (I really need to start using eye creams); Kiehl's Glow Formula Skin Hydrator; Sunday Riley Luna Retinol Sleeping Oil; and Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment (great brand).
And can we talk about the amazing plastic case it all came in? It's a hard-side case, perfect for travel!
I did NOT get the samples I chose. Instead, I got Rita Hazan True Color Shampoo & Conditioner, Becca Ultimate Coverage 24-Hour Foundation, and Marc Jacobs Divine Decadence. I wanted NONE of that. I did get something I wanted very much – a Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Treatment for 100 points.
Just $211 to Rouge…
July 2018 Allure Beauty Box – Summer Essentials
This month's Allure Beauty Box is FULL. I honestly don't know how they Jenga'd all these products in here.
Even though it's a "drugstore" product, I am hyped to get another Olay Regenerist Whip Active Moisturizer (I've already used up the one I got in an April Target Beauty Box). It's so light and airy – I love these whipped moisturizers for the summer.
Also crammed into this month's box: Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil (another one I'm excited to try); Feel Harmony Rose Petal Facial Mask (yassss rose); Doucce Ultra Precision Eyeliner in "Blue"; Derma-e Essentials Mineral Powder (I've never tried a powder with SPF – interesting); OUAI Haircare Leave In Conditioner; Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in "Full Red" (so, I'm supposed to use this on my lips and my eyes? I'll look like Pennywise!); and The Organic Pharmacy Antioxidant Lip Balm.
This month's box also included a $20 off code for Baublebar. I've gotten Baublebar codes in boxes before and never used them. I don't think this time will be different.
The Allure Beauty Box is $15/month, but they give you $5 off your first box. They also offer an option for $150/year – a savings of $30. You can sign up at https://beautybox.allure.com.
Metal Matte Mini
I cannot resist a smoking deal!
The Kat Von D Metal Matte Mini Eye Shadow Palette went on sale for $24, down from $39. Even though most of the shades are dupes from the full Metal Matte Palette, I decided I couldn't pass up the deal. (When I looked side by side, all of the matte shades are dupes, but three of the metals are new.) I absolutely LOVE the neutral shade combos in this version – I feel like I've neglected the original, but will hit pan on this one.
I couldn't find anything else I needed so I could bump my total up to $25 to use a promo code, so I just went without. I DID find something in the Rewards Bazaar though. I used 100 points on Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask. I checked the ingredients and it has kaolin, so a clay mask.
For samples, I got Miu Miu (not as good as L'eau Rosee, but nice); Fresh Soy Face Cleanser; and Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment.
$448 to Rouge!
Sephora Play! Smarts – Glitter Eyes for Real Life
Every once in while, Sephora Play! puts out a supplemental box that can be purchased outside of the Play! subscription. I've passed the last few, due to either duplicative or lackluster products. I did not pass on THIS one.
The "Glitter Eyes for Real Life" box was $20 and the real reason I added the box to my cart was the rose gold mermaid pouch! My daughter is crazy for sequined mermaid fabric – she has a bunch of the pillows and she fusses with them constantly. When I get tired of playing with it, it's hers.
Also in the "Glitter Eyes" box: Benefit Bad Girl Bang Volumizing Mascara (I just cracked it open today – this is my new go-to mascara); Grande Lash MD Lash Enhancing Serum (if I paint this on my upper lip every night, will it help me grow a John Waters mustache?); Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12HR wear Waterproof in "Black Lace"; stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in "Kitten Karma" (I just started using the sample I already had and this stuff is the SHIT); Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme; and Bite Beauty Prismatic Pearl Multistick in "Rose Pearl". The kit also came with a set of cards for each product with application tips and eye shadow looks. There's also a free webcast on July 15th. The box is still available – CLICK HERE.
OH! and I also added a $5 Sephora Watermelon after-sun mask to my cart – I have avoided sunburn so far this summer, but I still feel like my skin is taking a beating. My $25 purchase (and a promo code) granted me an extra sample – Benefit The POREfessional Pearl Primer (interested to try it). My other chosen samples were it Cosmetics Confidence in a Cleanser, IGK Hot Girls Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner, and Sunday Riley C.E.O. Rapid Flash Brightening Serum.

Every month, Memories of Shibuya will be taking a look at a different artist or group, with featured songs – one per week – highlighting the peaks (and, occasionally, troughs) of their musical career.
In this installment of Memories of Shibuya's special look at the '90s highlights of Kahimi Karie's musical career, her former songwriting partner Nick "Momus" Currie discusses the biggest hit that he and Karie ever had – and, as writer Ian F. Martin memorably noted, the only time that a reference to The Fall got on the Oricon top 10.
A three-storey concrete building in Nakameguro, Tokyo, was the 1990s home of 3D Corporation, the jimusho which handled Kahimi Karie, Cornelius, Chocolat, Neil and Iraiza and a few others. Mr Oka, a tall, chubby, easygoing man, was the boss. Kahimi was handled by the indefatigable Fumiko Masaki, who often seemed like Kahimi's slightly older, pushier best friend, or perhaps her chaperone.
The ground floor at 3D was a garage housing a bright yellow sports car. Upstairs there was a meeting area with a table and backlit CD shelf, an office area crowded with Apple computers, and a trendy orange vinyl sofa where the Shibuya-kei stars would sit when journalists came to interview them in reverent, hushed voices.
The top floor contained a tiny but funky recording studio crammed with Cornelius's gadgets and trinkets: Moog synths, Maestro drum machines, guitars, a Mac, airbells, a miniscule padded live room. On one side there were views down to the cherry-lined Meguro River, on the other loomed the skyscrapers and flyovers of Shibuya. When Cornelius advertised his Point album with the slogan "From Nakameguro to everywhere", this room was the "point" in question, the place where, day by day, the three-dimensional music got made.
Although Kahimi Karie's career was masterminded from 3D headquarters, the only thing I ever recorded with her in the Cornelius studio was a late curiosity — the last thing we ever did together, in fact — the 2001 song "Frilly Military," a freebie packaged with a lyrics book. That's because in 1995 Kahimi and Cornelius (as Keigo Oyamada was now calling himself) were no longer a couple, or even living in the same city. Kahimi had decided to come and live in Paris, where I was too. A slightly glum Keigo came over to see whether he could salvage the situation (he was present at the video shoot for "I Am A Kitten"), but decided that he was a "Tokyo boy" after all; Paris didn't have enough "information" for him. The city didn't go fast enough. The last bridge was burnt when Keigo, back in Tokyo, started dating Kahimi's old bandmate from Fancy Face, Groovy Name: Takako Minekawa.
So Kahimi and I recorded in Paris studios, rather grand old-fashioned ones, with the 3D people flying in from Tokyo to coordinate things each time we made a record. It worked out cheaper that way, apparently, than taking time in pricey Japanese studios, and it kept the bruised Kahimi and Keigo out of each other's hair. Our favourite studio was on the Rue de Seine, not far from Serge Gainsbourg's house. It was here that we recorded "Good Morning World."
The song was put together for a cosmetics commercial. The brand was called Menard, and they'd taken a series of 15-second slots on Japanese TV. 3D presented the job to me as a done deal: make a song suitable for a TV spot. Hence lines like: "Put some make-up on your face, make this world a better place!" In the end, Menard picked the little rap in the middle of the song for their spots, which I thought was quite adventurous of them: "Yum, yum, bubble-gum, stick it up your brother's gun…" That bit was based half on children's playground chants, half on Fall lyrics. I got a kick out of hearing Kahimi sing "How I wrote 'Elastic Girl'", a line which made an unlikely connection between Mark E. Smith's "How I Wrote Elastic Man" and Kahimi's previous record "Elastic Girl."
The backing for "Good Morning World" was put together in my Montmartre flat (a mysterious chandeliered duplex designed for a rich man's mistress) using samples from Soft Machine and Jacques Dutronc (the Soft Machine samples were eventually cleared, contributing something to Robert Wyatt's pension). In the studio we added real drums and trumpet played by musicians I'd found busking at the fleamarket at St-Ouen.
I didn't use any of the French musicians I'd employed for the I am a kitten EP because they'd since shafted me, deciding during the recording that they were producers and writers, and pitching a new record to Kahimi behind my back. I wasn't invited to the sessions, or even told about them. Despite the commercial success of My First Karie — the resulting mini-album — Kahimi never worked with the team again. Apparently the recording had been a stressful one, with producer Bertrand Burgalat (a great talent, but "difficult") slamming doors and piano lids, and Kahimi in tears.
I remember having a bit of an argument with 3D about the TV commercial. 3D insisted that I give them the publishing rights. I said that that was impossible: my publishing was with Rhythm King Music in London, and everything I wrote had to be controlled by them. In the end 3D worked something out with Rhythm King. But it was a useful illustration of the differences between the British and Japanese music industries: in Japan your jimusho looks after you like a family, for life. You give them everything, and in return they give you what you need. It's both kind and totalitarian.
Kahimi lived, at 3D's expense, on the Boulevard Pigalle, in a tiny flat with a view over a courtyard with an elegant curved staircase. Philippe Katerine, her other main songwriter at the time — a great talent and a droll, charming guy — always seemed to be visiting. We often met up with Ariel Wizman, who, with the actor Edouard Baer, had an influential Radio Nova show called La Grosse Bulle, a place where ironic elevator music met pataphysical humour.
Living this agreeable life in Paris, it was difficult to keep up with the impact our records were having in Japan. I didn't visit the country between 1993 and 1997, so I never witnessed the coming-to-power of Shibuya-kei at first hand. There was a structural confusion, too: Kahimi's records came out on a plethora of different labels, some indie, some major (Crue-l, Trattoria, Polydor). She was always signed to the international division of the major labels she worked with, which seemed a bit odd (I suppose because her studio bills were in Paris). She also worked with lots of different producers and writers.
Whenever you asked about Kahimi's sales figures, you'd get a familiar Japanese mistake in English: "Ten million, no, wait, one… one hundred thousand!" Whatever the actual figures were, they were vastly greater than any I'd seen in my indie-schmindie career. "Good Morning World," powered by the Menard spots and a stylish video by fashion photographer Tajimax, was apparently shifting 56,000 copies a week on its release. Most of those were going through one record store, the HMV shop in Shibuya. And this was all on an indie boutique label, Keigo Oyamada's Trattoria Records, distributed by the medium-sized major Polystar.
"Good Morning World" is undoubtedly the most commercially successful song I've written, but I can't say I particularly care for it now. It's not a bad pastiche of 1960s pop, with enough quirks and hooks to keep you listening. It's interesting on a psychological level that a man could write "it's so nice to be a beautiful girl" (or — the uncharitable might add — that an ugly man could write about the joys of being beautiful). That was a fantastic thing for me, being able to extend myself into another person and correct all my perceived weaknesses. Kahimi seemed to feel the same way; in interviews she would often talk me up as someone who complemented her, understood who she really was without even being told.
Did I really understand her? Later, when I met Arto Lindsay in New York, he told me he'd fallen in love with Kahimi based on the songs I'd written for her. It was a beautiful compliment to… both of us, I suppose, or neither.

After getting my MA in English I taught at Wright Community College which convinced me I loved teaching at the college level. I then went back to Northwestern University to complete my Ph.D. in English and did a women's studies dissertation before it was a recognized field. My first full time job was at La Salle College which had just gone co-ed the year before I came. I was one of 9 women faculty at the school and taught English and Women's Studies there for 16 years before becoming the Executive Director of the National Women's Studies Association for six years. After that I was hired at AAC&U as a Senior Program Director, moved in a few years to become the Senior Vice President of the Office of Diversitiy, Equity, and Global Initiatives which I did for 14 years before negotiating a more focused role on being AAC&U's chief spokesperson on civic learning and democratic engagement.
It set me on a careeer path in academia and given my age meant I was among the first wave of women breaking barriers--even in English--and not managing to break down others. I was attracted to English because it allowed me to ask many interdiscipinary questions about history, sociology, philosophy, religion, anthropology, and psychology. That multi-pronged set of big questions about human beings and society made women's studies a natural direction to combine with English. As I moved into non-profit administrative work, being an English major meant I was a good writer which served me especially well in successfully crafting grants, editing journals, writing appeal letters for funds, establishing a women's studies journal, and ultimately in speaking since it helped me remember how important it is to touch people's hearts and souls and not just their minds.

Jo Swinson: Lib Dem Brexit policy to revoke Article 50 is popular
Ms Swinson said she would not resign if her party ended up with fewer MPs, stating: 'I'm absolutely here to stay and I'm excited about the future.'
The Lib Dems' policy on Brexit to revoke Article 50 if the party wins a majority "is popular", leader Jo Swinson has insisted.
Ms Swinson said her party was "in good health" despite a suggested squeeze in the polls ahead of Thursday's General Election.
She added that she would not resign if her party ended up with fewer MPs, stating: "I'm absolutely here to stay and I'm excited about the future."
Ms Swinson insisted the Lib Dems' revoke Article 50 Brexit policy was a "good policy because it's honest about what we would do".
She told Sky News's Sophy Ridge On Sunday: "It's also a policy which is popular.
"If you look at the YouGov polls for people who want to Remain, that's the preferred policy. Indeed even among Labour Remain voters, it's more popular than the Labour policy."
She added: "Our position is that we want to remain in the EU, and some people will think that that is an extreme position, but I think it is about the kind of future that we want to see for our country.
"It's doing it through an election, so it is only in the circumstances where we win a majority which would be a democratic event, which I think many people would recognise would be an electoral earthquake and therefore would have democratic legitimacy."
Ms Swinson said she was "looking forward" to her party making "real progress" on December 12 and gaining "more MPs" in the General Election.
She said: "We still have the opportunity to stop Boris Johnson getting a majority to force through his hard Brexit deal with the real prospect that we could be out of the EU with no deal at all in just over a year.
"So, the next few days will be absolutely crucial as people make up their minds in marginal seats across the country."
But she acknowledged: "Clearly, things have changed since the beginning of the campaign … what we've seen in the intervening weeks is a cosy stitch-up between Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson."
Asked if she was asking for a caretaker PM role in the event of a hung parliament, Ms Swinson said: "I'm very open minded."
She added: "We will be absolutely working to stop Brexit, doing so in a co-operative way with others who share our values and share that goal."
Asked if she would resign if her party ended up with fewer MPs, Ms Swinson said: "No, I was elected as leader of the Liberal Democrats four months ago, that's a big job to be done and four months in I've made a start."
Talking about the high-profile defections from other parties, she added: "I've already secured more MPs."
On her personal ratings, she said: "I'm taking a very clear position on Brexit, I want to remain in the EU and I do recognise that some people aren't going to like that."
Asked if some of the criticism she faced was sexist, she told Sophy Ridge: "You and I both exist within public life where we recognise that there are double standards that apply. I knew that when I took on the job, I want things to change."
Referring to her nieces, she added: "I want the world that they inherit to be one that is less sexist."
