Flooring is a very important aesthetical aspect for homes, offices and industrial establishments too. Out of the various flooring options available today, Epoxy flooring has gained good demand in the recent times due to the benefits that it provides. When resins and hardeners are mixed together, a thick plastic-like substance called epoxy is made. Read on to know why epoxy flooring has become a thing today.
1) When hardeners and resins are mixed, the resulting epoxy that is formed will be robust, opposes degradation and will be well bonded to its substrate. This means that when epoxy is applied to flooring, they will remain well durable for years.
2) Epoxy floors not just goes well with houses, but they are particularly useful in industrial establishments. High grade epoxy is ideal for upgrading floors, guard them from effects of corrosion and offer a water tight effect.
3) Apart from the durability and strength characteristics, epoxy also adds style and elegance to floors. Variety of colors is available to choose from, plus you are also granted the option of adding color flakes as per your creativity.
4) Epoxy is the best choice in revitalizing your existing floors. They can be effortlessly applied to the existing floors as well as the new ones. Coating applied will also give great finishing to your floors that will last for years, not to mention the materials used for epoxy flooring are much stronger than that of concrete.

Understanding and Addressing Food Addiction: A Science-Based Approach to Policy, Practice and Research
Understanding and Addressing Food Addiction: A Science-Based Approach to Policy, Practice and Research
Public health concerns about the escalating obesity epidemic and its far-reaching health consequences, coupled with a growing understanding of the shared features of addiction across its myriad forms, have prompted some scientists to explore the possibility that certain eating behaviors might best be explained through the lens of addiction.
The interest in applying an addiction framework to understanding certain eating behaviors and food-related disorders has grown in recent years. This is a result of a large body of research highlighting the considerable overlap in the characterizing symptoms, risk factors and underlying neurobiological characteristics between substance addiction and what can be thought of as food addiction. It also arises from an attempt to explore how certain types of addictive-like eating might account for pathology that cannot be explained within the context of the currently recognized eating disorders of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. The growing interest in food addiction is also partially a result of an increasing awareness that lessons learned with regard to policy, prevention and clinical practice in relation to addictive substances might fruitfully be applied to the realm of food addiction.
In this paper, we review the available research on food addiction, obesity and related eating disorders (especially binge eating disorder) to determine the ways in which they overlap with substance addiction. We highlight how the knowledge and experience gained from years of research, prevention, intervention and policy related work in tobacco, alcohol and other drug control might be applied to controlling unhealthy eating as well as the food environment, which in many ways contributes to disordered eating, obesity and their deadly and costly health outcomes.
Recommendations and Conclusions
Individuals suffering from a leading public health problem – overweight and obesity – have faced problems similar to those who suffer from substance addiction, including stigma, shame and tremendous difficulty overcoming a significant threat to their health and well-being. For years, eating disorders and obesity were examined primarily through the lens of individual vulnerability, with prevention and interventions focused on changing how the individual interacts with his or her family and food environment. Lessons learned from substance addiction, specifically the power of certain addictive substances to directly affect an individual's brain and behavior, have helped launch a new and potentially fruitful paradigm for understanding and addressing certain cases of obesity and eating disorders. The food addiction model, like that of substance addiction, describes the ways in which certain food properties or ingredients can produce addiction in individuals who are susceptible to their effects and who consume them in a manner that induces the addictive process (i.e., eating certain types of highly palatable, calorie-dense, and nutrient-poor food on an intermittent but repeated basis). It allows for an explanation and an intervention strategy for those cases of disordered eating that are not adequately accounted for by existing psychological or medical causes.
Key highlights of the paper include:
- Evidence regarding the prevalence of food addiction and its co-occurrence with obesity, binge eating disorder and other health conditions
- The risk factors, characterizing symptoms and biological mechanisms of food addiction and related disorders and how these overlap with other eating disorders and with substance addiction
- Recommendations for policy, prevention, health care practice and research, and resources for additional information
As is true of substance addiction, the best approach to addressing the compulsive eating of certain foods that are associated with an increased risk of food addiction and, in some cases, obesity, is a comprehensive one that targets all the domains of influence on an individual's addictive behavior, including biological and personal influences, as well as social and environmental influences.

My Inquiry:
Dear Luna Architecture,
I have a situation that can only be solved through architectural means. My wife has placed a restraining order on me (for reasons we shall not discuss), and so I need to extend the home 100 yards horizontally. We are situated on a substantial piece of land, so this wont be a problem. I do not want her to move out, nor do I want to entirely split the house in two, as I still love her and am trying to get back into her good graces. So there should be a hallway where I can see her and yell to her (loving things) from the distance mandated by the law. We will also need to extend the swimming pool and hot tub by similar dimensions so that we can both use it at once. Since she does the laundry and the cooking, you can keep that part of the house on her side, while the master bedroom, television, and billiards table needs to stay on my part of the house. This shouldn't be a problem. The tennis court outside will have to be extended as well, if we are to purge our hostilities out on the court. This arrangement will be better for the children, as they only have to walk a short distance to get from one parents domicile to the other. I don't want them to live in a broken home, only a very long one. I can also know if she is bringing men home and what they are up to. Money is no object in this situation, as I am a successful (very) entrepreneur. It is only my family that matters. Please get back to me as soon as possible. This needs to be an expedient process. Thanks for your help in this matter.

Subject: RE: Very Urgent Matter
Thank you for your interest in Luna Architecture for your home addition. I can certainly relate to your sensitive issue and look forward to working with you. My first concern with your requests would be the pool expansion. I love the creative ideas however we want to be sure that we do not overextend the pool as this may cause several issues. Together, we can contract a structural and also maybe an aquatic engineer to generate a report for us indicating the possible concerns with the expansion.
Please let me know a good time to meet to go over your expansion. We will then generate a fee proposal and begin designing the addition after your approval and the retainer of 50% of the total fee has been received.
Have a great day!
My Response:
Dear Charli,
Thanks for your quick response. I knew that you would be sympathetic to my dilemma. The more speedily we can get this taken care of, the quicker that I gain the information that I need. Can you get a hold of two way mirrors? I'd like to be able to see into her side of the house. I might have to use night vision high-powered binoculars to see what is going on over there at these new distances. As for the tennis court, I might have to change my mind. My game has gone off in the last few years and I don't think I would be able to hit the ball that far. My wife, on the other hand, has a tennis instructor (whom I am paying for), and who has spending a lot of time at the house lately, for that matter. I don't have time for tennis instruction, so I don't feel she is playing fair. I have to spend my time making an income for the benefit of my family. I am sure you understand. Does your company engage in security devices, such as cameras? If you do not engage in security, will you be able to refer me to THE BEST security camera company in the area? This will require another room on my side of the house, one discreet with viewing screens, so that I can keep tabs on her during the day. The room can be hidden behind a trap door in my library. This is a unique architectural experience for your company, but I assure you that it will be a very lucrative one. I will refer your company to all of my friends, some dealing with similar problems, and also very wealthy. Please respond as soon as possible. Thanks for your interest in this matter and you will be hearing for me as soon as I get the logistics together.
Rick Cabrera
Their Response:
I can most definitely get you in touch with a security company. We love this idea as well. The tennis courts were not brought up in your last email. Again, we would hate to overextend the court as this may cause an issue. The feasibility report will provide us with solutions to any pending issues.

Disney robot developed that can catch and throw a ball [VIDEO]
// November 26th, 2012 // Robotics
The kings of animatronics have moved into the next realm. Robotics experts at Disney's lab in Pittsburgh have created a humanoid robot that can play a game of catch with a human. The robot finds the thrown ball in mid air, tracks its, and then catches it before lobbing it back (gently) to the thrower. The robot uses a Kinect to sense and track the trajectory of the ball and to track the the person it is playing catch with (if the person moves around, the robot turns to follow him). If it misses, it runs through a range of animations including shrugging its shoulders, shaking its head in dismay, or looking behind itself to find the missed ball.
The video below demonstrates the remarkable robot in action.

Hi everyone,
I'm new here, and I'm facing problems with my diY F450 quadcopter
My name is Greg, 42, French. Thanks for the help that can get here.
Here's the link to the kit I bought on aliexpress :
my RC is a Flysky FS-TH9x. the APM is 2.8, I haven't flashed anything so far in it, nor in the ESC's.
I built the kit and I did the accel calibration as well as a compass and RC calibration.
the compass works fine, although i don't know whether this is the one in the APM or the one with the GPS that is activated.
Didn't get so far any GPS signal but it seems fine since I haven't tried the quad outside yet.
the motor positions respect the quadcopter shema shown on the arudpilot tutos, and they're all turning in the good directions.
My present and consistent problem is that the ESC aren't synchronized.
First they don't start at the same time as I used the throttle channel (3) and they don't stop either at the same moment when i cut the Throttle. Instead, one of them is still running for some seconds as I cut the Throttle before stopping.
I did of course many calibrations of the accel or the rc, without any change.
I did the RC calibration and mission planner recognize the RC as I saw on many tutos.
I did the calibration with the RC, all-in-once, and then for each ESC directly linked to the RC, without any change.
I changed the RC speed from 490 to 300 but it hasn't changed anything.
Here are the results after the RC calibration for the 4 first channels :
the 6, 7 , 8, 9 aren't used yet,
So I'm stuck with it right now.
Does anybody has any ideas for me ?
Thxs you for the help, and sorry for the english if I don't make myself clear.
Views: 144
you get what you pay for ! you need to buy some proper ESC with compatible APM firmwear ! your RC radio needs to be calibrated as well !
Hi OG
thank you for your answer. Good to see one fellow here getting some interest for my problems.
I'm gonna try to flash my ESC with the SimonK firmware. Is that sound good to you ?
Concerning the radio I did many times the calibration, including in the RC itself.
Do you mean the results written above aren't correct ?
What should the good values according to you ?
Do you have some other specific points in mind ?
Thanks !
SimonK firmware is not the correct firm wear for APM ! you may have issues you may not !
In mission planner have you calibrated the radio ? The APM documentation clearly says the correct values you must observe for a working RC radio this is the first step. You should not be asking what it is, it is in the documentation !
Ok thanks you. Pleaze don't get angry with my questions, I understand you are far more advanced on these subjects than I am, but don't be mistaken I've spent many times reading and learning stuffs so far.
I've seen many people using Simon K Firmwares on tutos, since it is dedicated to quadcopters. So I'm interested in your solution if proven to be better. Could you tell me what are the ESC you're talking about ?
Thanks you for the help.
Thank you very much for this information. I will then look for some Blheli ESC, and if it doesn't work I'll use this very usefull 4 in 1 esc, a bit expensive for the moment.
I took time to look for the rc calibration doc and they say that the channels should between 1100 and 1900. So my throttle is low, although in the same text they show a calibration result with 990-2018 for channel 5.What gave you the information abour a wrong RC calibration ?
Thx a lot
your RC radio needs to be calibrated! Or it is not going to work .. your FC need to see proper signal form your RC radio.

Monetizing Your Blog
Google AdSense, Amazon Affiliates, ClickBank, LinkShare… whether your aim is to make a million so you can retire to the South of France or simply free yourself from debt, these days it seems there are almost unlimited opportunities to cash in on your blog using affiliate marketing schemes and sponsored links, enabling you to make a living or some additional income online.
And wherever you look, we are surrounded by advertising.
Raking It In
The savvy bloggers – those who have cracked the code – must surely be raking in the cash. And certainly if you believe the claims of some of the affiliate marketers who profess to be making tens of thousands of dollars every month from their online activities, then you would have to conclude that you can print your own money online.
But if it were that easy, bloggers worldwide would all be rolling in dough and driving Ferraris.
They're not.
Making Money From Affiliate Schemes
So what's the secret? How do you turn your blog into a money-making machine?
In the personal finance community, a number of people publish regular monthly updates to their income and expenditure and some even break it down by category to show exactly where the money has come from and where they have spent or invested it.
The interesting thing is that most seem to be making very little (if anything) from their advertising and affiliate activities, and their online income appears to come from (dare I say it…) real work: from freelance content writing and from managing other people's websites & social media.
However, there are some notable exceptions, bloggers like Michelle at Sense of Cents (who made almost $8,000 last month from advertising, partnerships and affiliate links on her websites… remarkable!) and Christine at Wealthy Way Online who makes a six-figure income from her online activities.
Other bloggers I have spoken to accept sponsored content (the equivalent of advertorials in a magazine or a newspaper) and offer up their blog space to the highest bidder.
The Numbers Game
However, for any of this to work, you need traffic. Lots and lots and lots of traffic. Because advertising is a sales funnel, so for every 10,000 times an advertisement is viewed, it might only be clicked 50 times, and from those 50 clicks, you may only receive one sale.
Traffic, footfall, eyeballs… call it what you will, but advertising is a numbers game, and without significant numbers of people coming to your blog, it simply won't generate revenue.
November WorldVision Experiment
This blog has only been running for two months and as a result it doesn't generate a ton of traffic: I get a couple of hundred hits a day but I don't have legions of screaming blog subscribers or zillions of Twitter followers who flock here each day to pore over my verbal musings.
That said, I am very interested in what works and what doesn't in terms of monetizing a blog, and as a result I have set up an experiment to find out: I have added some sponsored links in the bar on the right (Google, Amazon and ClickBank) and I will monitor their activity during November to evaluate which is the most effective in terms of generating passive income.
Please note that the proceeds of the experiment will go to charity (which, in the season of being thankful, is as good a reason as any to get involved): I favour WorldVision and I think it would be amazing if we were able to use the money generated by the experiment to buy some WorldVision goats & chickens, don't you?
However, as you're not allowed to encourage people to click on Google ads (you can understand why, can't you?) and as Amazon and ClickBank rely on actual sales, I am not expecting to be able to single-handedly finance their next disaster fund using the ad revenue.
Having said that, I got my first GoogleAd click yesterday and apparently it was worth 60 cents (how cool is that?!), so just 3-4 clicks each day would buy a goat. And five a day would buy a goat and a couple of chickens. I think that's pretty amazing.
How do you monetize your blog? What works for you? And what are the pitfalls to avoid?

Brooklyn Flea this weekend? We dropped by to do some not-quite-last-minute-Christmas shopping and it seemed like half of Brooklyn was there.
The Flea is located at Skylight One Hanson at the former Williamsburg Savings Bank. Besides the usual Saturday and Sunday hours, the Flea will be open additional dates for Christmas shopping: Wednesday, December 21; and Thursday, December 22, from 2 to 9 p.m.
You can pretty much find anything at the Flea, from old typewriters to handmade glass objects to clothing to jewelry made out of old LP records. Here are a few things that caught our eye:
Alyssa Ettinger. The vases come in several sizes, feature delicate colors on the interior, and range from $30 - $50. The coasters are wafer-thin and have different textures.
Little Gardens.
Twig Terrariums.
Beside plant life (easy to maintain, they say) each terrarium contains a little scene with teeny-tiny people.
There are hundreds of other vendors at the Brooklyn Flea. Here's a list. With three floors of antiques, clothing, jewelry, crafts and oddball collectibles, you'll likely find something there that you'll want to buy for someone.
others.) Head back upstairs to finish off with some maple bacon cupcakes from Kumquat cupcakery.

Bridget's Veggie Patch - July 2013
Wow what a cold snap we have been having, I know we should not complain here in Auckland but 5 degrees is a bit harsh where we come from. With all this cold, wet, hail and wind there is not really a lot of gardening going on. But lets face it, I always have a project.
This months new project is to tart up the area around my chicken coop and the children's fort. I think this area looks cool, but it does need a little softening in my opinion. It is an area I look at from my kitchen and dinning room and to me it seems a bit like a wooden jungle. I have always wanted to have a garden where I could just wonder around and pick flowers which I could display in vases around my house. My Nana always had lovely arrangements from her garden, however she did come from a large stock farm and had extensive vegetable and ornamental gardens. Living in the middle of Auckland I have always struggled for space and used any spare garden beds for my vegetables. I feel now, that a flower garden with varieties specifically used in cut arrangements would suit this new area perfectly.
Mike obligingly built a raised edge in front of the coop fence and has filled it with garden mix, from Auckland Landscape Supplies of course. (Poor man did it all in the pouring rain too!) I have been out and purchased an array of perennials that are proven cut varieties. I have chosen to plant lots of Delphinium and Penstemons, throughout these I have also dotted Echinaceas, fragrant Dianthus, old fashioned Gipsophila and Poppies. Because the chicken run is along a fence line, I have gone for a cottage garden and planted these varieties randomly rather than in groups. I am hoping that this will result in a burst of colour and a relatively natural look. Immediately outside the hen coop I have grouped some Limomium together which will hopefully result in a nice blue show. Now all I need to do is make sure I give them a good feed every four weeks and wait for spring and abundant blooms.
|Leucadendron is great for cut flower arrangements
|Although not a part of my new cut flower garden, I was impressed by the show of flowers my Tecomanthe currently has.
|I know it doesn't look much now, but I have to put a photo of the new garden in, that way when it is humming with flowers you can appreciate the before and after.
Below are some photos of what I am hoping that my flowers will look like this spring. The nice thing about Echinacea is that it last for ages in a vase and once the petals fall off, you are still left with a really attractive cone which in its own right is useful in a cut arrangement.

|Delphinium Galahad from Redfire Nurseries and purchased at Kings Plant Barn
|Echinaceas from Kings Plant Barn.
We have also sprayed all of our fruit trees and plants with Copper Oxy. This is good for combating a wide range of diseases in fruiting plants, most of all black spots on apples, pear and grapes and for leaf curl on stone fruit. We will now continue to spray at 3 weekly intervals up until buds have formed. It is important to stop spraying before the first bud bursts as this can then contaminate fruit.

Heritage: 1/2 Bolivian, 1/2 Chilean
Registration: ARI Registered
Color: Medium Brown
Stud Name: LSF Arioso
Type: Female Suri
Status: Open / Proven
Description: This fabulous gal has the color genetics we're all looking for, and produces the most extraordinary offspring! In 2009, it was a 23-pound MF/W/LSG male! We knew she could throw gray, and Mozart proves it. In 2010, she gave us a gorgeous MB boy whom we're calling "Gus" for modern composer Gustav Mahler, and in 2011 she produced a fabulous TB male; in 2012, Mo gave us a medium fawn male called Lemony Snippet (for the little white snip on his nose). All of her crias have exceptional fiber architecture, excellent handle and pleasant personalities. Mo is an experienced and protective dam who consistently throws crias with stature, elegance and conformational perfection.Maureen's offspring have always been some of the best produced on my farm. Her son MoJo is now in my breeding program; his half brother, Gus, has an awesome daughter in my herd, and is now breeding at Purgatory Falls Alpacas in NH. Their younger half-brother, Lemony Snippet, looks to be even better, with cobweb fine fiber, perfect conformation and a sweet, trusting temperament; he has left for his new breeding home.On July 8, 2015, Maureen completely outdid herself with an awesome patterned LF/W female cria! Another easy birth, another fantastic offspring. I think her cria, LadySong's Celebration, is probably the most beautiful cria ever born here.Maureen will be rebred to our appaloosa macho, Sonic Boom. We are very hopeful that the result will be an awesome gray or harlequin cria in 2016, since Boomer has a history of those colors, and Maureen also has grey in her background.

In the fashionable cynicism of post-USSR times, it is difficult to recapture the sheer euphoria at the achievement of the USSR itself. In 1922, after long and difficult negotiations, the excitement could hardly be contained. Here is Stalin in December of that year when the new agreement was announced.
Here, in the world of Soviets, where the regime is based not on capital but on labour, where the regime is based not on private property, but on collective property, where the regime is based not on the exploitation of man by man, but on the struggle against such exploitation, here, on the contrary, the very nature of the regime fosters among the labouring masses a natural striving towards union in a single socialist family (Works, vol. 5, p. 153).
But, comrades, today is not only a day for summing up, it is at the same time the day of triumph of the new Russia over the old Russia, the Russia that was the gendarme of Europe, the Russia that was the hangman of Asia. Today is the day of triumph of the new Russia, which has smashed the chains of national oppression, organised victory over capital, created the dictatorship of the proletariat, awakened the peoples of the East, inspires the workers of the West, transformed the Red Flag from a Party banner into a State banner, and rallied around that banner the peoples of the Soviet republics in order to unite them into a single state, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the prototype of the future World Soviet Socialist Republic.
We Communists are often abused and accused of being unable to build. Let the history of the Soviet power during these five years of its existence serve as proof that Communists are also able to build. Let today's Congress of Soviets, whose function it is to ratify the Declaration and Treaty of Union of the Republics that were adopted at the Conference of Plenipotentiary Delegations yesterday, let this Union Congress demonstrate to all who have not yet lost the ability to understand, that Communists are as well able to build the new as they are to destroy the old (p. 161).

We've been using Littlehampton Bricks on our projects for many years, most recently as a feature on the new Murray Bridge Racing Club. They are a great local business and create great innovative products. We highly recommend Littlehampton Bricks, one of the last family run brick manufacturers in Australia.
We bought our bricks and pavers from Littlehampton Bricks when we were building our new home back in 2007. The bricks are as strong and bright as the day we bought them and the pavers look good too. As I remember, the delivery was timely and efficient. Well done.
Littlehampton Bricks continues to prosper against some intense competition. The reason in my opinion is that team at Littlehampton know their product which they make themselves, and they invariably provide excellent service. Whenever I specify Littlehampton Bricks for a job, I'm confident of a first class result, and a happy client. I can even take clients to the factory at Littlehampton to see their bricks being made. Try that with XXXXXXX Brick company! To top it off, Littlehampton's prices are very competitive. 'Boutique' doesn't mean more expensive.
Littlehampton Bricks and Pavers are a great family owned Australian business with product quality and service which is second to none. I have dealt with them both professionally and as a customer and can say the whole team are people of the highest integrity and always willing to go the extra mile.
Such a great value clay product. Loved the fact they are wire cut and could use both sides to minimise the wastage. I purchased my product through Noarlunga Paving & Outdoor Centre at 56 Elizabeth St @ Old Noarlunga.
Great Australian manufacturer of clay bricks and pavers!
Recently build my house with Littlehampton Bricks. Used the "Ash" clay bricks throughout. Very happy with the look and quality! Have had my neighbours comment favourably on them too.
I'm a professional bricklayer and I could not recommend Littlehampton bricks highly enough. I'm so glad the company I work for use only Littlehampton bricks for their retirement villages. I can't praise these bricks enough.
Excellent help and service, representative came on site and Bricks were delivered 2 days later.

The Legacy of Sackett v. EPA: Supreme Court Allows Challenges to Wetland Jurisdictional Determinations Under the Clean Water Act in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes Co.
In March 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in United States Army Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes Co., Inc. ("Hawkes"),[1] that a party is entitled to judicial review of an approved jurisdictional determination ("JD") by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("Corps"). A JD is the agency's official position on whether proposed development requires a permit under the Clean Water Act ("CWA").[2] Prior to the decision, a majority of the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals held that a JD was not "final agency action" that could be challenged in court. Thus, a party faced with an unfavorable JD was faced with two unpleasant choices: a) pursue a costly and time consuming CWA permit, even if it seems grossly in error; or b) proceed with the planned activity without permitting and risk civil and even criminal enforcement actions for non-compliance.
Hawkes concluded that the Administrative Procedure Act ("APA") affords affected parties with an avenue to challenge a JD before proceeding down either of these two paths. Given the uncertainty surrounding CWA jurisdiction in the wake of the Court's 2006 decision, Rapanos v. United States and the ongoing federal rulemaking effort to clarify the CWA's reach,[3] Hawkes will have an immediate and significant impact on the regulated community.
Hawkes is an extension of the Supreme Court's 2012 decision in Sackett v. EPA,[4] which held that a party subject to a compliance order under the CWA could obtain "pre-enforcement review" to challenge that order under the APA. Pre-enforcement review refers to the right to seek APA review before the agency takes legal action to enforce the order. Since the Hawkes decision, federal courts have grappled with whether the Court's reasoning provides support for judicial review of agency action in other environmental contexts. This article examines the Hawkes decision and lower court rulings interpreting the decision's reach.
Statutory Background
The CWA and "Waters of the United States"
The CWA prohibits discharge of dredged or fill material into the "waters of the United States" except in accordance with the § 404 permitting regime, which is jointly administered by the Corps and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.[5] Whether a particular dredge and fill project involves the statutory threshold of "waters of the United States" remains unclear following: (1) the Supreme Court's plurality opinion in the 2006 Rapanos decision, (2) the June 2015 "Clean Water Rule" promulgated by EPA and the Corps,[6] (3) the Sixth Circuit's nationwide stay against enforcement of the Clean Water Rule pending the legal challenge;[7] and (4) most recently, the upcoming change in administration.
The Corps has established a regulatory procedure for an "affected party" to obtain the agency's official JD—i.e., a written determination from the Corps regarding whether a wetland is subject to CWA jurisdiction.[8] A JD is a "written Corps determination that a wetland … is subject to regulatory jurisdiction under [the CWA]."[9] For administrative appeal purposes, an approved JD is a "final Corps agency action."[10] If an approved JD is upheld at the intra-agency appeal, that decision is the agency's "last word" on whether it considers the property to be subject to regulation under the CWA.[11]
Before the Supreme Court's Hawkes decision, a landowner that had already exhausted its administrative remedies could not appeal an approved JD. Instead, the landowner (or interested party) could only attempt to apply for a permit (even if they believed that effort to be futile), seek judicial review of that permit process if unsuccessful, and/or proceed with the planned project at the risk of criminal or civil enforcement, either by the Corps or in a citizen suit.
The APA
The APA provides that "[a]gency action made reviewable by statute and final agency action for which there is no other adequate remedy in a court are subject to judicial review."[12] In Bennett v. Spear,[13] the Supreme Court decided that agency action is "final" and subject to APA judicial review when two conditions are met: "First, the action must mark the consummation of the agency's decisionmaking process – it must not be of a merely tentative or interlocutory nature. And second, the action must be one by which rights or obligations have been determined, or from which legal consequences will flow."
Supreme Court's Sackett v. EPA Decision
In the unanimous 2012 Sackett decision, the Supreme Court held that an EPA administrative compliance order issued under the CWA is "final" for purposes of APA judicial review.[14] The Court ruled that the compliance order in that case—requiring the petitioners to restore altered wetlands without a permit, subject to $75,000 in fines for non-compliance—constituted "final agency action" under the APA, because it: (1) "determined" the Sacketts' "rights or obligations" by requiring them to restore the wetlands on their property; (2) exposed them to legal consequences—specifically stiff penalties for non-compliance; (3) and marked the "consummation" of the agency's decisionmaking process because no further agency review was available.[15] Likewise, the Court concluded the Sacketts had no adequate remedy to challenge the order, because—as EPA conceded—the Sacketts had to wait until the EPA brought an enforcement suit to challenge the significant penalties for non-compliance.
Supreme Court's Hawkes Decision
The Hawkes case involved a peat miner in Minnesota who sought to expand its operations to an adjacent property. The Corps issued a JD stating that the property fell within CWA jurisdiction due to its connection to Red River of the North located "some 120 miles away."[16] Hawkes subsequently filed suit challenging the JD in federal district court, which concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the challenge. On appeal, the Eighth Circuit reversed, concluding that the Corps' JD constituted final agency action that was ripe for review under the APA. Since the Eighth Circuit's decision conflicted with decisions from the Fifth and Ninth Circuits,[17] the Supreme Court granted certiorari to resolve the split.
All eight justices of the Supreme Court concluded that: (1) a JD was "final agency action" subject to judicial review under the APA, because it met both prongs of Bennett v. Spear; and (2) there were no adequate alternatives to judicial review. The Court determined that JD met the first Bennett prong because, by issuing the JD, the Corps "for all practical purposes 'has ruled definitively' that the respondent's property contains jurisdictional waters."[18]
The Court also concluded that JDs met the second Bennett prong because their "definitive nature … gives rise to 'direct and appreciable legal consequences."[19] In doing so, the Court relied on the "pragmatic approach" to finality reflected in prior decisions by first examining the consequences of a "negative" JD—i.e., a JD in which the Corps concludes a party's property is outside the CWA's reach.[20] That decision not only binds the Corps for five years, it also creates a five-year "safe harbor" from CWA enforcement by EPA as well, under a memorandum of agreement between the two agencies.[21] Although citizen suit enforcement is still possible, private suits cannot impose CWA liability for violations that are not ongoing.[22] Thus, a negative JD has legal consequences satisfying the second Bennett prong because it "both narrows the field of potential plaintiffs and limits the potential liability a landowner faces for discharging pollutants without a permit."[23] Conversely, an affirmative JD (the type at issue in Hawkes) also has legal consequences, because it deprives a party the five-year safe harbor from CWA enforcement and warns that unpermitted discharges expose a party to significant criminal and civil penalties.[24] According to the Court, an affirmative JD is final agency action because of these legal consequences.[25]
The Court reject the Corps' assertion that, because a recipient of the JD is afforded judicial review of a rejected permit or enforcement action, there were adequate alternatives to judicial review of a JD under the APA. "As we have long held, parties need not await enforcement proceedings before challenging final agency action where such proceedings carry the risk of 'serious criminal and civil penalties.' "[26] As in Sackett, unpermitted discharges would expose Hawkes to $37,500 per day in civil penalties as well as the potential for criminal enforcement. Relying on that earlier decision, the Court explained that Hawkes "need not assume such risks while waiting for EPA to 'drop the hammer' in order to have [its] day in court."[27] Likewise, due to the arduous and expensive nature of the permitting process, the Court did not view judicial review of a denied permit as an adequate alternative to judicial review.[28]
Recent Decisions Considering Hawkes
Although the Hawkes decision is less than six months old, litigants are already relying on the decision in an attempt to force APA judicial review in a number of different contexts.
White Oak Realty, LLC v. United States Army Corps of Engineers (E.D. La.)
In White Oak Realty,[29] plaintiffs successfully relied on Hawkes to challenge a letter from the Corps outlining certain mitigation requirements as final agency action under the APA. Following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Congress authorized the Corps to repair the damaged levee systems through the addition of "borrow material" (clay and soil). In response to the vast demand for this material, the Corps set up a program to pre-qualify sources of borrow material on private land. When plaintiffs sought to pre-qualify their land as a source of borrow material, the Corps wrote a letter outlining mitigation that would be required to avoid certain unavoidable environmental impacts caused by the material removal. Plaintiffs filed suit under the Water Resource Development Act to challenge the Corps' determination that mitigation was required.
The federal defendants moved to dismiss, arguing that the letter did not constitute final agency action subject to judicial review because the letter merely stated the Corps' "opinions on the borrow program requirements and the legal authority upon which it relie[d]."[30] The Corps also argued that unlike the JD in Hawkes, the letter did require affirmative action from the plaintiffs and allowed them to "do as they choose with the property."[31] Drawing heavily on the recent Hawkes decision, the court disagreed and concluded that it had jurisdiction to hear plaintiffs' claims. The court noted that, just as the JD in Hawkes notified the property owner that a permit would be required prior to taking certain actions on the property, the instant letter required plaintiffs to show proof of mitigation before supplying borrow material to the Corps. The court found this requirement a "direct and appreciable legal consequence" for the property owner that permitted judicial review. The court also noted that the Corps failed to identify an alternative route for the property owner to challenge the decision that mitigation would be required.
Gulf Restoration Network v. United States Army Corps of Engineers (E.D. La.)
In Gulf Restoration Network,[32] environmental plaintiffs relied on Hawkes in an unsuccessful attempt to challenge the Corps' public notice and comment procedures for a project involving a proposed oil pipeline in southern Louisiana. When the pipeline proponent sought a CWA § 404 dredge and fill permit, the Corps issued a public notice and sought public comment on the proposed permit during a 30-day period in June 2015. Following the close of the comment period, plaintiffs alleged certain deficiencies in the public notice associated with the permit and sent a letter to the Corps requesting that the agency reopen the public comment period. When the Corps refused, plaintiffs filed suit. The Corps sought to dismiss the suit, arguing that there was no final agency action subject to judicial review.
Relying on Hawkes, the environmental plaintiffs argued that the Corps decision to close the public comment period constituted a final agency action subject to judicial review. The court rejected plaintiffs' arguments, concluding that the Corps' decision was "interlocutory action" that did not mark the consummation of the agency's decision-making process. According to the court, the notice and comment procedure exists to evaluate the permit's impact on the public interest and to inform the Corps before it takes final action.[33] Because the comment period is "a mere step on the way to permit approval or denial," the court concluded that the plaintiffs' challenge must wait until the permitting process was complete.[34] Since the Corps had not decided whether to issue the proposed permit when the public comment period closed, the court found no legal consequences that flowed from the Corps' decision.
Nor did the court agree that the plaintiffs suffered an "informational injury" when the Corps refused to reopen the comment period. The court concluded that plaintiffs' claimed injury was not a deprivation of information but rather an alleged exclusion from effective participation in the permitting process. Thus, since the plaintiffs' injury was "procedural rather than informational," they did not face a legal consequence as contemplated in Hawkes and its predecessors.[35]
Marine Council of the Atlantic Salmon Federation v. NMFS (D. Me.)
In Marine Council,[36] environmental plaintiffs unsuccessfully sought judicial review of biological opinions ("BiOps") issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service ("NMFS") pursuant to the Endangered Species Act ("ESA") concerning the licensing of four hydroelectric dams on the Kennebec River in Maine. NMFS issued the BiOps concerning the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ("FERC") proposed amendments to several hydropower licenses issued under the Federal Power Act ("FPA"). The environmental plaintiffs challenged NMFS' decisions in the BiOps that FERC's proposed license amendments would not jeopardize a distinct population segment of Atlantic salmon in the Kennebec River.
NMFS sought to dismiss the plaintiffs' claims, arguing that the BiOp challenges were, in reality, collateral challenges to FERC's licensing amendments under the FPA, and that statute grants the U.S. Courts of Appeals exclusive jurisdiction over such challenges. Relying on Hawkes, the plaintiffs argued that the opportunity to challenge FERC's licensing amendments in the U.S. Courts of Appeals was not an adequate alternative to the APA for challenging the BiOps issued by NMFS.[37] Plaintiffs argued Hawkes created an "APA presumption of reviewability" where, as here, the review available concerns separate and different agency action.[38] The court disagreed, and dismissed the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.[39]
The Supreme Court's Hawkes decision has dramatically changed the burden on parties faced with a JD that requires a CWA permit under § 404. No longer will those parties be forced to choose between undergoing the arduous and costly permitting process or proceeding without a permit and facing exposure for unpermitted discharges before challenging the Corps' determination that a proposed project is subject to CWA jurisdiction.
In the broader context, Hawkes continues the trend started by Sackett towards opening up pre-enforcement challenges of agency action under the CWA. Plaintiffs' attempts to use Hawkes and Sackett in broader challenges in the environmental context have met with mixed results and only time will tell whether the decisions will change the landscape of regulatory action and enforcement in environmental law.

- 2010/06/26that is such wonderful news Claudia......thank you, thank you!! you've shed the light to so many questions i had on these cookies.......funny how oil makes cakes moist, but would dry out cookies, my mother will be sooooo happy that we've figured these fabulous cookies out, since we are Portuguese.........:) god bless, thank you for your help XX both cheeks.......i'll keep you posted with our results......:)1 reply
- 2010/06/26not ever a problem, hope these are it for you, we made alot of cookies for wedding trays and this is our favorite ,you can use almond, orange anisette, lemon, any flavoring, but always use a little vanilla with it too...let me know excited to hear how they turn out :)
- 2010/06/26Ironic that this recipe should pop up now.......:) my mother and i just had one of these 2 wks ago at an Italian Cafe. It was twisted and very moist with almond flavouring. We have been researching recipes now and i'm finding oil and milk in the recipes. Does this make the cookie much more moist in texture? thanks XX1 reply
- 2010/06/26Oil and milk is a basic recipe but they will be actually dry, these are moist and don't dry out in a few days after baked, the oil ones will. The butter keeps them moist and soft compared to oil which drys the flour. I have made them both ways, and this one is the family favorite...you can add what you like but its personal preference. thanks for you comment :) good luck
- 2010/04/15We also have a recipe similar to these and call them annisette biscotti. However we only use anise flavoring and have other cookies with almond, vanilla or lemon flavoring. Look just like ours! We make them for almost all of our biscotti trays as they are a favorite of our customers and our family and friends. You can see them on our web site www.pturo.com under biscotti.

Fix The MTA
Subways and Buses are failing our community. Catalina has a plan.
The decline of the MTA did not happen overnight. For more than 30 years, funding for the system (including funding for capital projects) has been cut at the state and city level. Ridership has increased, while maintenance spending has declined, directly impacting the MTA's on-time performance and creating a legacy of lateness. The Authority is now almost completely reliant on fares, tolls, and revenue from taxes and fees earmarked for transit- while existing debt obligations balloon.
Working families in our community rely on public transportation to get to work, to get to school, to get around our city. The never-ending delays on trains and buses are costing us our livelihood. Short and long term solutions are needed in order to provide New Yorkers with the quality of service they deserve and have paid for over the decades:
• The MTA must work to immediately decrease the existing times allotted for repairs to be made, and concentrate on repairs that affect on time ridership, rather than cosmetic upgrades.
• The MTA, as it exists must be broken up into several agencies capable of managing smaller systems. Control over the City's transit system (train and buses) must be handed over to New York City.
• The existing debt must be restructured to facilitate free cash flow and allow for spending on repairs.

Individuals age 70 ½ years or older have a unique way of providing a charitable gift to the College of Veterinary Medicine. Tax-free gifts totaling up to $100,000 per calendar year can be made directly from an individual's IRA to the Iowa State University Foundation. "This giving opportunity is particularly beneficial for donors who may not need their annual required minimum distribution or who want to make a larger tax-free charitable gift from an IRA," said Trent Wellman, director of development with the College of Veterinary Medicine. This is advantageous to the donor because if the IRA is gifted directly to the ISU Foundation, the IRA distribution does not need to be reported as income. It is further advantageous to individuals who do not itemize their deductions on their federal tax returns. "The other advantage is that individuals who gift an IRA to the college can see their philanthropic dollars at work now," Wellman said "Individuals are jump-starting the legacy they wish to leave and can see how this financial support will help the college, its faculty and students."
Some things to note:
- You must be 70 ½ years of age or older when the distribution is made.
- The transfer must go directly to the Iowa State University Foundation.
- You may make tax-free transfers from your IRA to a charity or charities totaling up to $100,000 each calendar year. If you are married, your spouse may also be eligible to make such gifts up to $100,000 from his/her IRA.
- A charitable rollover gift from your IRA will count toward your minimum distribution requirement.

Ask most people in PR about the reputation of tobacco industry and you're likely to get a wide variety of answers, most of which will border on the negative.
The tobacco companies have responded to the clampdown on the public sale of cigarettes through giant health warnings on packets and a steep rise in VAT by publicly talking about the need to find the "safer smoke" for its customers. And this has led to tobacco companies making massive investments in e-cigarettes.
But is this motivated by the desire to wean smokers off smoking or simply substitute one nicotine delivery system for another in order to protect market share and massive profits?
The discussions about e-cigarettes on the blogosphere and in vaping chatrooms is currently dominated by impassioned accounts from former smoke...Read More

It's your last chance to cool off this summer in a backyard pool, splashing your toes in the water and enjoying a nice cold treat. And there's nothing healthier than a homemade ice pop, because you know exactly what is going in it. Try one of the recipes below and make them for your friends to share. There are only a few hot weeks left until fall!
Pistacho Mint
1/2 cup raw pistachios, shelled
1 can full fat coconut milk
6 to 7 fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons raw honey
Blend the ingredients together in a high speed blender until smooth. If using a standard blender, soak the pistachio meats in filtered water for 4 hours to soften before blending. Pour the batter into your chosen ice cream mold. Let freeze for an hour before inserting the sticks. Freeze until solid (about 4 hours, or overnight). Rinse the mold under warm water for 10 to 20 seconds to help the pops release. Enjoy right away, and store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
Roasted Peach and Vanilla Bean Matcha
4 large peaches, cut in half, pits removed
3 tablespoons honey, divided (or maple syrup)
1 cup full fat (or light) canned organic coconut milk
1 tablespoon ceremonial grade organic matcha green tea powder, unsweetened
1 whole vanilla bean
pinch sea salt
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the halved peaches cut side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the peaches. Roast the peaches for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Transfer the roasted peaches to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer half of the puréed peaches into a bowl. Set aside. Leave the other half of the peach puree in the blender and add the remaining ingredients. Puree until smooth and creamy. Carefully pour the mixture into your 3-ounce molds, filling each up about ⅔ – ¾ of the way full. You may have just a little of the mixture left over. Tap the mold on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Place the sticks in. Freeze for at least an hour, until mostly solid. After the first layer has frozen up enough, pull the ice pop mold out of the freezer and carefully pour the remaining peach mixture into each mold. Tap the mold on the counter a few times. Place back into the freezer and freeze for about 4 hours. They will last a month in the freezer.
White Chocolate Basil
3" piece of raw cacao butter
½ cup packed basil
1 can coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or coconut syrup)
⅛ tsp sea salt
(White Chocolate Drizzle)
2″ piece raw cacao butter
2 tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or coconut syrup)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cashew butter
⅛ tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp coconut milk powder (available at Asian grocery stores or online)
Blend together all ice pop ingredients until very smooth. Pour into pop molds of choice and let freeze for one hour, then insert sticks and freeze for at least six more hours, or until frozen solid. To remove, simply run under warm water for 10 seconds. Transfer unmolded pops to a piece of parchment or waxed paper in the freezer. This is very important, as you'll want them completely frozen when you use the drizzle on them. To make the drizzle, melt cacao butter, then stir in all remaining ingredients until very smooth. Remove pops from freezer and add drizzle; you can place edible flowers where you'd like them to go, if desired. Return to freezer and freeze for 1 more hour, or until frozen solid.
Hibiscus & Berry Tea
4 cups water, just below boiling.
8 heaping teaspoons hibiscus tea blend of choice (approximately 1 1/2-2 times your usual quantity)
1/2 Lime, sliced
1/4 cup Raw Agave (or honey, if not vegan)
1/4 cup Blueberries
1/4 cup Raspberries
Brew tea blend 5-10 minutes in a pitcher with the lime slices (you will need to be able to easily pour into the pop molds). It's easiest to use fill-your-own tea filter bags. While tea is brewing, soak pop sticks if using bamboo or wood. Remove/strain hibiscus leaves. Stir in agave or honey and allow to cool. Add to pop molds, allowing about 3 mm of space for expansion. Freeze overnight or for at least 3 hours.
Tropical Tangerine Turmeric Pops
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (ideally 2% fat; fat-free will make an icier pop)
1 banana, peeled
4 tangerines, peeled and seeded
1/4 cup water
2 scoops collagen peptides (or equivalent protein powder)
2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut
1 tablespoon MCT oil (or coconut oil)
1 teaspoon fresh turmeric (or ground)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 bee pollen (optional)
In a blender, mix the Greek yogurt, banana, tangerines, water, peptides, coconut, MCT oil, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon until smooth and fully incorporated. Taste. You can adjust the flavor at this point by adding more cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, or tangerines to taste. Pour the mixture into six frozen pop molds. Divide the bee pollen over the top evenly, about 1 tablespoon each. Add your popsicle sticks and freeze for at least four hours. When ready to serve run under warm water (for about 30 seconds) to help the ice pops release from the molds.

The New Year always brings some sort of Zen into our lives or at least every year it does to mine. I feel a sense of peace, love all around and excitement for the new adventures ahead! I have many plans for this year and even thought there are limitations I am still dealing with, I won't let it hold me back.
Last year was a tough one for me, I constantly felt frustrated with the things I can't control, but I know all good things take time and God has His own plan, so I will focus on the good, have faith and keep my head up <3
I also want to get back to what originally interested me in blogging and get in touch with my creative side! When I first stared I wanted to inspire others to explore the beautiful places around them and to express their style regardless of the opinions of others. To meet other creative people and celebrate their work and to stay close to what I really love, fashion. So there are many things I will be adding to this blog and in many ways get back to it's roots! I am very excited to make some fun changes around here.
So stick around and enjoy the journey with me. I look forward to what this year will bring and I want to share every piece of it with you. I am also planing some trips thought the year so to all my international people, I might even ask for your recommendations!!
For now here are some details on the outfit I wore. I love the contrast of both red and black together and with the holiday seasons I couldn't help myself! I truly enjoyed wearing this one and there are some new posts coming up so keep an eye out.
*UPDATE: Also I hadn't realized, but many of my posts were "hidden" under the Admin Only view option (facepalm reaction). I clearly need some tech help over here but I am slowly working on getting them back to view.
What I wore:
Captain's Cap from Wyeth | Red Velvet Jacket from Boohoo |
Hoop Earrings from & Other Stories
Until next time,

Did you miss our Girls Rock! Awards this year? You can still meet our amazing winners and hear their stories.
Health Promoter Caroline Coxe Falmouth, Age 18 Caroline brought to the lime-light a subject matter many adults are embarrassed to talk about: menstruation. Inspired by the video, "Homeless Period", Caroline considered the challenges homeless women in her community face in having access to feminine hygiene products and was moved to do something to make those challenges a little easier. Caroline is an artist and she decided to use art to bring her community together to help with this cause. She curated an art show on female empowerment, to both raise awareness and money regarding the issues homeless women face around menstruation. She also created promotional materials for the art show. Attendees were encouraged to either donate cash or hygiene products and/or purchase a print of one of the pieces. Most importantly, Caroline sparked a community conversation about a topic society, and especially women, are often ashamed to talk about publicly.
Thank you to our Health Promoter Award Sponsor:
Community Organizer Abbey Gifford, Farmingdale, Age 11 After being told she was too young to participate in most volunteer positions, Abbey worked hard to start a story time at Bailey Public Library for 4-7 year olds. In addition to reading stories, Abbey brings a craft and provides snacks that relate in some way to the theme of the stories. Abbey works hard to earn her own money to pay for crafts and snacks for the children, as well as using from gifts from family and friends to cover these expenses. Abbey funds author visits through a grant she received from the Maine Community Foundation. Abbey also plans to purchase books for children in need within her community and donate them. Abbey chose to do a story time in order to get younger children interested in reading, so that one day they will enjoy reading as much as she does.
Against the Odds Advocate, Alissah Paquette, Waterville, Age 15 Alissah is undaunted by her own physical and verbal challenges since being diagnosed as a baby with conditions that affect her bone development and verbal language use. Instead, she looks outside of herself to help others. She sees the many needs of those around her and works to address these issues, through raising money for hospitalized children and local families in need, volunteering with students with developmental disabilities at her school, and working as a lifeguard at her community pool. She is an inspiration and has far exceeded what she should have been able to do based upon her own personal challenges. She has refused to be limited by what has traditionally been known as a physical or developmental disability and she has been busy redefining "able" and making positive changes for herself and for girls in Maine along the way.
Title IX Champion, Hilary Merrifield, West Rockport, Age 17 Hilary stepped into the world of high school wrestling willingly as a seventh grader and has competed against boys for the past six years. While many people consider wrestling to be a boys sport, Hilary has worked hard to prove that she is strong enough not just to compete, but to excel. She has never once complained about the rigors of the sport, nor has she ever sought treatment different from her teammates. Moreover, she has given back to the sport by volunteering to work with the middle-school team where she mentors a young girl and serves as an excellent role model for her. She is varsity captain, has recorded 100 career wins and has competed both regionally and nationally. Hilary is an excellent role model and advocate for all young women who strive to compete and who refuse to allow their gender to hinder their accomplishments.
Entrepreneur Kaitlynn Hutchins, Westbrook, Age 19 After her dad passed away unexpectedly in 2012, Kaitlynn has embraced his passion for photography and made it her own. Since then, her work has been featured in galleries, and last year she won a photography contest that sent her to Russia for two weeks. She has built her business by taking senior pictures, family pictures, and h Westbrook High School's events as their official photographer. Her recent wedding photography has allowed her business to truly take off. By creating a business out of her talent, Kaitlynn has been able to pave her own path in life and not depend on anyone for assistance.
STEM-gineer Olivia Boudreau, Waterville, Age 12 While studying renewable energy, Olivia was inspired by the book A Boy Who Harnessed the Wind to fundraise for William Kamkwamba's windmill projects, and help make a difference in poor African villages. Her team raised over $1,000 toward these projects. Olivia knows that there are improvements to be made locally as well. She was part of a group of students who presented a proposal to the school board to research the feasibility of solar panels for her middle school. If there is an environmental puzzle to solve, you can rest assured that Olivia is working on it. As she learns, she acts. She is a great example of how girls can make a difference in the sciences.

Prom is almost certainly the event that is the most anticipated, special and intensely planned so far in a young ladies life. She gets chance to show people who she really is and how she likes to express herself and elegantly show off her persona. There is no better way to do this then get a wonderful dress and complement it with gorgeous hair. If you are also attending a prom and want to shine like a star, try these special prom hairstyles.
Short-hair updo- if you have shorter hair than too you don't need to worry about looking like the classy chic that a prom night demands. Simply try to comb your hair back and create a really messy look at the back with your beautiful tresses making for a tiara. Use a rhinestone headband to complement the look. Don't forget to use some hair spray so that the mess keeps at its place and doesn't ruin your look.
• Braided updo- Simply make two braids by parting your hair carefully and tuck them up like a folded cloth at the back of your head. Hold it tight with some pins and use a hair spray as well. If you have fringes than you would look superb with this simple style. If you add some more texture, leave some bangs in the front and make prom hairstyles that look classy from the back, sexy from the front.
• Sleek pony- Tired of updo prom hairstyles? Try a simple and sleek ponytail that gives as much life and bounce and highlights all your beautiful facial features. Dampen your hair and use a soft brush to detangle it carefully. Use a flat iron to straighten your hair and comb it all backwards. Take about the higher 3/4th part of your hair to make a ponytail and leave the rest hanging down elegantly. For some twist, you can hide the band with another braided bang that rolls around the base of the ponytail.
• Long hair Worn down- Another non-updo style Use a flat iron to straighten your hair and then roll the last few inches of the hair in some soft waves. Make sure they are waves, not curls. Then throw your hair to one shoulder and use give the finishing touch to the waves. Make sure you use some super strong hair spray here as well. This is one of the easy prom hairstyles and you won't need much help as well. If you hair has been cut in layers below the jaw line, this style would rock!
• Messy Updo – This can be a great hairstyle if done the right way. Most of the times, we prefer only sleek and symmetrical hairstyles at a prom. However, if you wish to give it a twist, you can opt for a messy updo. Take the whole lengthy of your hair and leave some strands on the front and side which will be used later. When the bun is complete, you can use the longer strands you left earlier to create a few waves to your hair. Use a rose flower shaped accessory to complete the look.
Planning for such a special occasion takes time and effort if you want it to be perfect so don't wait until the last minute, start honing your ideas weeks, if not months in advance. Collect a few favorites, maybe as many as ten, and sleep on it and then whittle them down to 3 or 4. Then give them a try to see if they'll suit you. If you can afford to get a stylist to do them then that's the best way but you can give yourself an idea even with the most complicated looks. This site is not just here simply for prom season either, wedding and bridal hair and homecoming styles can all be found amongst our myriad of images here. The distinction between a formal style for any occasion is often very slight so if its a spectacular updo for a dinner date you are after or a head turning look for that class reunion you need look no further than this site. There are hundreds of ideas for your special occasion to browse through. You will find 16 sets of 12 images in our main gallery of prom hairstyles and you can browse through convenient thumbnail (smaller) pictures and when you find one that takes your fancy just click on it and a larger version will appear. As if that wasn't enough, in addition to all that we have sections on celebrity weddings, beauty tips, fashion and accessories and help in planning. Its our aim to be the best prom, updo, homecoming, formal and bridal hairstyle resource around. If you have any comments or suggestions please let us know.

We shoved the boat across to the services to fill with water and dump the particles while our guests were still getting out of their bunk. A short cruise found us moored in Higher Poynton. We all had a circular walk around Poynton which took us past the Anson Engine Museum. I will visit it tomorrow it's inaugural 2014 opening.
The walk ended at the Boars Head for a swift glass of ale and to reserve a table for tea in the evening. Back to FL for lunch of sausage pork pies olives and dips.
In the evening we met up with Paul & Elaine of The Manly Ferry fame for dinner and drinks.

"Impress buyers right off the bat with a beautiful entrance. "I always tell sellers to put a fresh coat of paint on the front door," says real estate agent Theresa Evans of Charleston, S.C.
And if you don't have an entrance at all, make one. "A lot of my buyers have mentioned that they don't like to just go through the front door into the living room," says Los Angeles-based Realtor Rhonda Kohn.
This problem, more common in condos and apartments, is solved by cleverly placing furniture to create more of an entryway. "A console table or demilune chest of drawers with something over it creates a welcoming vignette," says designer Sue Adams of Andover, Mass.

Last night's PowerPoint Karaoke was one of the best we've ever had. The audience was small, yet lively, and all four performers (Allegra Lingo, Levi Weinhagen, Joe Bozic, and last-minute-addition Kelvin Hatle) had very strong presentations. The final group presentation, which veered off into the topics of pornography and pudding, brought tears of laughter to my eyes. Bravo, presenters!
Last night's show will be the last at the Bryant-Lake Bowl until September, when we will resume our first-Tuesday-of-each-month schedule. In the meantime, you can find us at CONvergence, when the show will feature the likes of Tim Uren, Tim Wick, Jen Scott, Sharon Stiteler, C. Robert Cargill, Lyda Morehouse, and Joseph Scrimshaw. Oh, and, as always, slides by Bill Stiteler and myself.
After that, we take August off, because Minneapolis Fringe Festival will eat every actor in Minneapolis during that month. If you can't see us at CONvergence, then mark your calendar for September 4th!
I do love producing the slides for the show every month, even though it still feels unnatural to pull comedy out of my head on a reliable schedule. It seems a shame to only use the slides once. There was talk this evening of doing an "open mic" PowerPoint Karaoke show at some point, using our favorite older slides.
Until that happens, I'll show you one of my favorites from tonight.
Most of our slides are just random digital flotsam, cobbled together into an non-cohesive jumble by two Internet-addicted, possibly drunk, definitely sleep-deprived nerds. Yet, every once in a while, we get topical.
This one broke Kelvin for a moment, which means I've done my job well. However, I want to get a little serious here.
I know the Internet has already said this a million times over, but requiescat in pace, Eduard Khil, aka Trololo Guy. In a digital world where a ravenous audience feasts upon memes that usually feature injury or stupidity, you charmed the beasts with nothing but nonsense lyrics, a beaming smile, and a glorious baritone voice.
Mr. Khil left behind a large body of work besides the famed "trololo" song. Here's a YouTube playlist with some other favorites from his oeuvre.

Evelyn McMarketing and Letterkenny Chamber
Letterkenny Chamber - An Immediate Inclusive Network
When I set up Evelyn McMarketing, (evelynmcmarketing.com ) I connected with Toni in the Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce. Primarily for some advice and direction on the business sector in Letterkenny but also to network and to find out how we could work together. What I respected initially was the lack of pressure to join The Chamber until I was more established and yet I had an open inclusive support network available to me straight away.
Over the years I have been actively involved in The Chamber and whether it is for advice, support or networking I highly recommend all my clients to join.
I have delivered marketing motivation talks at member events, attended numerous network evenings and gained business from fellow members. Toni and the team provide a great support and a full calendar of events to us all and I highly recommend Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce to all who are intent on growing their business in the North West.
