Summer Inspiration (#1)
Mid-summer: Sunburnt landscapes; bleached blonde wood, French market baskets for piling with fresh produce from the market (or allotment garden); slicked back hair from lazy dips in the ocean; late afternoon light filtering through olive trees and over swathes of golden grass, vases (or old candle containers) filled with fragrant cut herbs: rosemary, mint, lavender, oregano and thyme; natural make-up with just a hint of colour and subtle glow; vines making a last dash up walls warmed by the sun before autumn sets in....

Happy hump day. 3 in the books on a beautiful morning. I think today is a good double day and I have to make up for not running yesterday.
Have a great day. Be safe!
Happy hump day. 3 in the books on a beautiful morning. I think today is a good double day and I have to make up for not running yesterday.
Have a great day. Be safe!
Happy Hump Day! I ran 3 with BoMF today, and we had an AWESOME crowd! Our group has grown so much. The weather was gorgeous, too, which didn't hurt.
Sully, nice job on the 3! And with plans for a double, you're definitely HTFU!
Have a great day, all!
Sully - you didn't run yesterday? Streak is over? Nice 3 good luck on the double
Garth - I tried what you said and even took Gatorade ...........it didn't work!
tash - nice job on the early run and sound garden is one of my favorites. So long as chris cornell is the lead singer. Who opened the show?
Last day to sleep in for me. School starts tomorrow. So I will have HTFU later and get 3 or 4 miles in.
Wine down Wednesday!
Morning, folks! Got in a nice 8 mile run last night with a running group and the head of the Philly BoMF Chapter. Was really great! I was up late baking cupcakes for my co-worker's birthday, though, so I am wiped.
Got up to lead the BoMF run. My foot was having a little pain last night, so I only ran to and from BoMF and did the run/walk with our guys. Came back, did an upper body weights workout (my arms feel like jelly!), and frosted the cupcakes. Going to eat breakfast, shower, then head to work!
Saint- Aw school starts already?! Enjoy the miles!
Tash- Yay! We had a great run this AM, too! Nice miles!
Sully- Great job on the 3 miler! Get that double!
Today is going to be a long day, so I really have to HTFU! Happy Hump Day, folks!
Morning! I have core and 4 miles tonight. The 5 last night were hot and humid (more than weather.com told me, dang it!). But even though I was drained after it, I made myself do the HIIT 15 workout (kickboxing drills) instead of the PiYo.
Sully, nice 3.
tash, nice job on the and the BoMF.
saintsfan, HTFU and do them! Enjoy your last day of freedom.
Shift, you have my address, right? I mean, the cupcakes were for me, no? Nice 8.
Morning everyone. Feeling very grumpy today. RD yesterday and 5 on tap later today. DD has meet the teacher tonight, so it'll have to be after that. Kind of glad the kids will be going back to school next week as they've been getting restless and a touch obnoxious this past week. Why did we decide to have another one??
Sully - Nice 3 this morning.
Tash - Group runs are awesome, especially for such a worthy cause.
Gunny - Bet you can't wait to get back to molding young turds... err, minds.
Diesel - Mmmm, cupcakes. I'm trying to swear off all processed sugars right now. Maybe that's why I'm grumpy... Hope the foot pain is nothing major.
DR - Nice run and workout!
8 miles yesterday was a cake walk but I was soaked. Good job to all those that ran this morning when it was cool. I can never get my lazy butt up early enough. So my 11 miles will be in about an hour in the heat. Hopefully not thunderstroms.

Do I recommend Oceania Cruise?: Riviera Cruise Review by explore4ever
Overall Member Rating
Do I recommend Oceania Cruise?
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
It depends.
This CC forum is full of Oceania fans who rave about Oceania gourmet foods, their elegant ships (especially Riviera and Marina.)
We are no different. After being on Oceania Cruise three times, we have come to love Oceania's gourmet foods; clean, elegant ships, and most of all its customer-focused happy crew and officers.
For this particular cruise, I like to point out what stood out for us was the crew and the things they do.
First, our background:
There were 3 of us on this cruise: my husband, my sister and I. This is my husband and my third Oceania cruise, and first for my sister.
My husband and I have cruised about 17 times before. The cruise lines are listed below chronologically:
We have cruised on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland America, Azamara, Paul Gauguin, Regent Seven Seas, Crystal Cruise, Oceania.
After sampling different More lines, different sizes, we realize we prefer smaller ships.
We are in our 50, 60's. We are active, and love to walk and hike. Interesting itineraries, food, and service are what we look for.
Second, embarkation:
Our red eye flight from Victoria, Canada arrived in Miami according to schedule, around 11:30 am. We went straight to the ship, and was on the ship in no time. The taxi ride was about 15 minutes; traffic was light. It costs us $25 fixed rate. I know that is higher than last year, when our taxi charge by meter.
The embarkation was a breeze. I believe that time frame was perfect, no crowd, no wait.
Our cabin was not ready. We went for a light lunch. We met many familiar faces; the staff greeted us like family. (We were on Riviera in August.)
We wanted to put in a few hours of shopping. Dolphin Mall seemed the closest. However, by the time we finished lunch, we did not have the time we thought we had. In addition, the rush hour traffic may delay our return to the ship, and the thought of missing this beautiful ship chills our spines.
We left our belongings in the cabin (the steward was kind enough for us to do that because the cabin was not completed yet.)
We took a cab to the Bayside Mall. Even though the mall was only over the bridge, less than 10 minutes, the taxi had to go around and wait for traffic lights and costs $10.
The mall did not have much. It resembles those "markets", usually located just outside the cruiseship terminals, selling mass-produced "made in China" trinkets. Unless you absolutely need something like sun protection, I would suggest you skip this mall.
We walked back to the ship. It took us 24 minutes to get over the bridge, and 30 minutes to the terminal. Fortunately, we did not buy much; our backpacks were light.
I recommend that if you like to walk, walk to the mall from the terminal, and take a taxi back. The road back is more direct, and would have cost less, and less to carry, if you have made purchases.
Our cabin:
We chose suite 8000, category B1, right at the forward. We share a wall with Vista Suite, and another wall with B1 balcony cabin 8001. We chose it because the deck seemed larger than other balconies.
Pros: the deck is larger. With 3 deck chairs, 2 tables, we had room to maneuver. We also like the view. The view was expansive. We like sailing into and away from ports. And one morning, the sunrise was right in front of us, putting an amazing show, front and center. With this cabin, it is like being in the front row center seat! The sight of the sun rising from the big blue ocean is something we never get tired of. Magnificent! That alone was worth it.
Cons: we do feel more movement in cabin 8000. We also hear more banging noise when the seas was rough. I am a sound sleeper, and I get woken up a few times.
Also, as soon as it gets dark, we have to ensure no light emits from our cabin. It has something to do with navigation at night. Just something to keep in mind.
If the itinerary is such the sea is calm, and the weather is pleasant, such as parts of Mediterranean, I would definitely select a forward cabin. If you are prone to motion sickness, and a light sleeper, forward cabin is not a good selection.
We rarely have any problem disembarking in Miami. There were 4 other ships at port, and yet our disembarkation process was smooth. We went through custom, got our luggage, without any incident. We shared a van with other Oceania guests, heading to the airport. Only when we arrived at the airport did we find out our flight has been delayed, due to the weather in Northeast region of North America. My sister who has a later flight was planning to visit the Dolphin Mall, chose not to go because she thought time was too tight. Her flight was scheduled for 3pm. However, 2 hours before her flight, she learned that her flight was also delayed. It ended up delayed for 3.5 hours. She could have visited Dolphin Mall or other Miami sights. Spending all that extra time at the airport was not fun. But that is beyond Oceania cruise control. Maybe planning to stay an extra day in Miami in December is a better plan. Next time!
Customer Service:
Besides food, we like Oceania's service. Allow me to share with you our memorable experience and illustrate their great customer service.
During Captain's welcome party, we strike up a conversation with a crew member, Ante. This gentleman was enthusiastic, polite, and very personable. He is lighthearted, mirroring my husband's. The second time we saw Ante, at the "Loyal Customer" event, he is like an old friends to us. We learned that Ante is a concierge in the executive lounge. Executive lounge is a private room exclusive to suites. Ante was very knowledgeable and culturally sensitive. Even though he jokes around, we felt he genuinely cares. The topic turns to specialty restaurants on Riviera, and how popular they are. He then offered to check for Red Ginger for us! He does not have to do this. We don't have suites, we were not on his deck. We were not his responsibility. Also, it is toward the end of the cruise, he and the rest of the crew were busy preparing disembarkation and embarkation process for their guests.
We appreciated his offer, and did not expect much.
Yet, the next morning, he left a message about some openings. By the time I got back to him, the openings were gone. Instead of saying, "sorry, I tried", he said, "I will continue to monitor the situation. You never know."
And sure enough, late in the day, he found an opening for us. Even though it was for 2 only (there were 3 of us), we took it. Talk about going out of your way to make guests happy! He was definitely going beyond his duty for guests.
This is not the end of this story. There is more.
Due to our respect for Ante, and the Red Ginger staff, 2 of us showed up on time. We did not want to inconvenience anyone or add any strain to Red Ginger's well-oiled system.
Katya, the maitre D, whom we have come to know from our previous 2 Oceania cruises, immediately noticed that my husband was absent. She managed to find an extra spot for him, without making it a big fuss. To us, it is big. We know it took effort to do that on their part too. We had our final cruise dinner in Red Ginger, together! We were so appreciative and impressed.
For the service, we highly recommend Oceania cruise line to those who have never tried.
Having said that, I do not recommend the Caribbean itinerary (right before Christmas) to those wanting to try Oceania for the first time.
We encountered disgruntled guests and heard complaints more so on this cruise than our previous 2 on Oceania. And the complaints or issues were mostly weather-related and or minor, IMHO.
As we know the weather is out of anyone's control.
For example, my husband and I found it amusing when we overheard and witnessed guests requesting the deck chairs be set up on the upper deck, as the guests themselves were holding on to their hats, jackets, and to the hand rails, in the gusty wind. (The upper decks had to be closed to guests numerous times due to high winds.) In my opinion, it would be irresponsible for the crew to abide the passengers' wishes.
Second example, the lines to make or change reservations in the very popular specialty restaurants are always long. At least this time, I knew to line up in the right queue. Make sure you are in the right queue, before lining up. You don't want the frustration of waiting for an hour, and then realizing you had to go to another desk on another deck!
The 3 reservation desks are placed in different restaurants, separated by the color of the sea card. I assume it is easier for one desk deals with only one category. I have witnessed many angry guests and the strain the reservation officers went through for the first 4 days of the cruise.
We were fortunate. Even though we are in the B category; the staff still managed to change 3 of our 4 reservations to early dining time. For that we are grateful. Were we upset with late dining in Jacques? No. In fact, we got to know a lovely waitress who looked after us very well that night.
We cannot comprehend how anyone not enjoy this cruise! 30C weather in the sun (occasional rain), water with 50 shades of blue, and no housework for 10 days! Any day with no housework is a great day for me!
Quick note on other amenities on board:
Perhaps you have noticed, I did not mention the nightly entertainment, the spa facilities, and the enrichment lectures.
The only entertainment we watched was the fairwell performance from the entire (almost) officers and crew. We wanted to show support.
We usually walked after dinner instead.
My husband and I use the gym for stretching and yoga only. The room next to the gym (one used for yoga, pilate or spinning classes) was not opened until much later in the morning. We improvised and did our stretching and yoga out on the decks, when the wind was not too strong. Every yogi needs to experience the power and magic of sun salutation in the open sea, as the sun rises out of the dark blue ocean.
As for the enrichment lectures, we missed because we wanted to enjoy the sun as much as we can. However, we do watch it in the stateroom at night.
In closing, I bring back the question: do I recommend Oceania cruise. My answer was, "it depends."
If you love good food, appreciate excellent service and do not take things too seriously, especially on holidays, I think you will enjoy Oceania Cruise.
And if you bring with you to Oceania Cruise your open mindedness, your positive outlook, and fun attitude, you will have an amazing time! In fact, I venture to say you will have a fantastic good time no matter where you go! Enjoy! Less

Good afternoon, all!
I visited with Archie's children, Rick and Judy, at the funeral home last night. They informed me that Archie was alert and active up until the end, and even insisted on living in his house alone and taking care of himself by himself. He did rely on others to get him places, but remained sharp.
Rick says that volume 3 is expected to be available shortly, and that volume 4 is in the works.
Best regards!

Hey Tim-
Thanks for the update on Archie's books! He was an exceptional person and will be greatly missed.
I had planned to attend the funeral but snow in our area made travel dangerous. Our prayers are with the family and we are thankful that his antique watch repair books are going forward!David--

Re: Archie B. Perkins Oct. 31, 1923-Jan. 26, 2017 (By: LaBounty)
Here is the memorial article on Archie Perkins, written by John Bartos of Chapter 21. It will be published in the next NAWCC Bulletin:
In Memoriam:
The world of horology has lost an icon with the passing of the legendary Archie B. Perkins. Watchmaker, clock maker, author, educator, draftsman, and technical writer, he finished his earthly tasks on 26 January 2017 at Denver, Colorado. During a lifetime of many exceptional accomplishments, Archie has left an indelible imprint on horology worldwide. Showered by virtually every possible technical award for his watch and clock knowledge, Archie's contributions have been recorded for posterity through his many written publications.
Born 31 October 1923 in Frances, Kentucky, Archie was one of five brothers and two sisters who lost their mother when Archie was but age three. Times were hard and during the Great Depression the family struggled economically. Working in fluorspar mines and several different farms, the family lived on whatever work their father could find. In February 1939 when Archie was age 15, he began his life-long vocation repairing watches and clocks, first working from his home and later starting and operating a small repair shop in nearby Lola, Kentucky. During the next four years he gained more knowledge and experience in his chosen field, but as World War II continued, Archie was drafted in March 1943 into the Army Medical Corps where he served until his discharge.
Upon return to civilian life, Archie took up watch-making work in Nashville, Tennessee and shortly thereafter began technical training at the Elgin Watchmakers' Institute in Elgin, Illinois. It was during this time he caught the eye of William H. Samelius, the Institute's Director. Mr. Samelius later asked Archie to begin teaching watchmakers, even while he was completing his own training program. In 1946 Archie was recommended to be an instructor at the American Academy, School of Horology in Denver, Colorado, where Orville Hagans was the Director. They worked together for the next year and a half before Archie moved on, first returning to the trade, then to the Emily Griffith Opportunity School (now the Emily Griffith Technical College) also in Denver. He remained there for the next 32 years until his retirement from teaching in 1983. During this time he was selected as Vocational Educator of the Year by Denver Public Schools.
But Archie is best known and remembered for his technical writing and drawing skills. His 232 articles published in the "Technically Watches" series of the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute (AWCI) "Horological Times" established him as a worldwide authority. A prolific author, his published books cover a span of nearly 30 years. His first book which was co-authored by George C. Lucchina and published in 1987 is The Watchmakers' Staking Tool. This was followed by his 394 page book The Modern Watchmakers Lathe and How to Use It and published by the AWCI in 2003. Archie's capstone 298 page book "Antique Watch Restoration—Volume I" was also published by the AWCI in 2012. Due to the great interest and demand for this volume, the AWCI published in 2015 his next book, the 282 page Antique Watch Restoration Volume II. Archie's next and final book Antique Watch Restoration-Volume III is expected to be published in 2017, again by the AWCI.
A 53 year NAWCC member, his awards are both prestigious and voluminous. A NAWCC Fellow since 1980, Craft Member of the British Horological Institute in 1986, a BHI Fellow in 1995, Certified Master Watchmaker since 1955, a Horological Institute of America Director and Regional Vice President and with service on the American Watchmakers Institute's Board of Directors. In 2014 Archie was presented the NAWCC Golden Circle Award achieving 50 years of continuous membership.
A gifted and mechanically minded technician, Archie was frequently called upon by watch repairmen and friends to make parts for watches (and clocks too) when they were out of production or were otherwise no longer available. As many of his peers have said "he could fix anything". After suffering a stroke in 2012, the physical aspects of watch repair became much more difficult for Archie. However, he redoubled his emphasis on his lifelong passion for technical writing and drawing until he was 93 years old.
A devoted family man, Archie leaves behind his daughter Judy L. Perkins, son Richard A. Perkins and three grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife Daphene (Langford) Perkins in 2005.
His many friends and horological colleagues in the NAWCC, AWCI, Chapter 21 (Denver) and Chapter 160 (Boulder) will profoundly miss him and the wise counsel he gave to all of us .
John E. Bartos (CO.)

North Andover (Mass) High School: Immediately reverse the decision to punish Erin Cox a designated driver!
Erin Cox should be hailed as a hero, a teenager who recognizes and acts on the dangers of drunk driving by reacting to a friends phone call for help- instead she is being punished. She and the friend who called for a ride when she realized she was in a dangerous situation are teens who heard the message! This action by the school administration threatens to undo all the progress made over the years convincing young people the importance of calling for help instead of driving under the influence or getting in a car with another who is under the influence.
I speak about this every day as my family has suffered the consequences of drunk driving when my younger brother Zac Hartwell was killed as a passenger of an intoxicated driver. No family should feel this pain. Our brother Zac Hartwell was famed Jackass star Ryan Dunn's passenger on June 20th 2011 when they both lost their lives in a DUI crash. The amount of pain our family has experienced cannot be put into words and it is only by the actions of people brave enough to be designated drivers that these tragedies will end.
Good for you Erin Cox! Shame on the administration that has taken their policy to a level of ignorance.
Carrie Hartwell-Lewchuck
The ZAC Mission:
Our belief is that through increased awareness and available options a collaborative effort can result in Zero Alcohol-related Casualties.
Please help us educate others and grow this business to provide support for those who have lost loved ones to drunk driving incidents.

A new survey finds most Northwest residents think addressing climate change should be an urgent priority.
The survey was conducted for EarthFix by the independent and nonpartisan firm, DHM Research. A representative sampling of 1,200 residents of Washington, Idaho and Oregon participated and 62 percent of them said they consider it an urgent priority for state and local governments to address global warming.
A majority also registered support for specific proposals to reduce the emission of carbon that contributes to climate change.
We asked questions on whether or not they would support making companies pay if they go over a certain amount of carbon emissions, explained John Horvick of DHM Research, and across the region 75 percent said that yeah, they would support such a policy.
As a follow on to the announcement of a new federal rule from the Environmental Protection Agency that will limit carbon emissions from power plants, the survey respondents were asked if they support such a move.
Seventy-three percent region-wide would support such a policy, Horvick said.

OK so I am a huge Geek love Doctor Who...
So what else can I write...
I am a huge horror nut and love a good scary movie. Hate Slashers they are either too predictable now or too watered down in this age of PG and PG-13 tween/teen slasher remakes remember when a slasher was about stupid teenagers doing the stupidest things possible on film a lot of titties (not that that interested me...) and great, inventive and bloody kills!!! Now you're lucky if you get an after shot of the the kill... OR you get the over the top torture porn films where there is nothing but gore!! (I hold the first and 2nd Saw films as well as Eli Roth's Hostel and Hostel II to be exceptions to this rant),
I am more a fan of supernatural horror a la Paranormal Activity (oh yes I enjoy a good cinema Verte film).
Genre TV is in a great place too with shows like The Walking Dead, Haven both in their 3rd seasons now, American Horror Story: Asylum (season 2 of American Horror Story) Dexter, True Blood. I love the genre TV classics as well Buffy, Angel, Friday The 13th: The Series.
I am also passionate about Karaoke and run a small Karaoke services business here in Brampton.
I love to cook never get much of a chance to do it cause I don't have anyone to cook for usually I end up just making something quick. I love making Chili again you can't really make chili for one though. A Also love to make homemade pizza. I hate following a recipe usually I will find a recipe that I like then do my own thing with it. That's how I started making chili way back in Jr. high during Family Studies they taught us a basic chili recipe and from there I have been tweaking it ever since... no 2 batches are the same!!!
I love reading especially horror (Obviously) Stephen King's It is still my favorite book of all time I've read it probably 50 or more times and you know what because it is so epic every time I read it I always take something new away from the experience! I love Clive Barker's horror works: The Book of Blood, Hellbound Heart (the inspiration for one of the creepiest and scariest movies of all time Hellraiser....) ""I have seen the future of horror, his name is Clive Barker." -Stephen King.
I Love political Non-fiction too I am A Left Wing Progressive (I don't use liberal any more since you say liberal and here in Canada the first though is the Liberal Party (which is anything but in my opinion)) I love reading about US politics my fave authors are Sam Seder, Al Franken, Greg Palist (Still reading some of his work). I love US talk radio from the left MIKE MALLOY and RANDI RHODES!!!!

Lover of Camping is a PLUS I plan on taking you once a year at least in... summer fall winter or spring oh yes even winter there's nothing better then snuggling up under a warm sleeping bag,,,
A music lover... My passion is my business I hope to take it full time and that is Karaoke!!! So you gotta love music... Karaoke lovers are awesome!!!
Someone who loves to taste new things I love to cook and never cook the same way twice!!!
Someone who does not mind if we just spend the night cuddling on the couch with the tube on...
I love to go out but in my line of work both the Karaoke and Security Guard job as I do event security I am sometimes 'Entertainment-ed" (I know that's not a word) out!!!

YOUR SAY: Kingston shoppers and the leader of the council have called for better safety measures inside the Bentall Centre after a teenager fell to his death from the balcony last week.
What do you think? Let us know at www.surreycomet.co.uk/yoursay or email email@example.com
Former Coombe Boys' School pupil Joon Kyu Kim, 15, fell from the top floor just before 5pm on Thursday.
UPDATE: Teenage boy dies after falling inside Bentall Centre
UPDATE: Teenager who died in shopping centre fall was Korean student who 'dreamed of becoming vet'
The Korean student who had just completed GCSE exams landed on the basement floor outside Mothercare, with witnesses describing a "sickening thud".
Kingston Council leader Kevin Davis tweeted: "Desperate news of boy falling to death in Bentalls Centre. Not the first to die this way. Time for talks on how to prevent future incidents."
In January 2011 mother-of-two Alexis Sims, 45, from Teddington, who suffered from depression, killed herself after jumping from the top floor.
An open letter sent to the management of the Bentall Centre by a witness read: "I wrote to yourselves on the day of this horrendous and terrible tragedy, saying that the poor boy landed only feet away from myself, my wife and two young daughters [aged 10 and eight] to which we never got a response.
"Since we witnessed this tragedy, I have had only four hours sleep as all I keep seeing is his poor motionless body laying there and hearing that sickening thud as his young body smashed into the ground.
"My children [fingers crossed]seem to be dealing with it fine, but only time will tell. I'm sure there are other people out there who are not and would like counselling.
"Because of the centre's lack of safety netting especially seeing that a lady jumped a while back I was just curious if you might as a group try and offer counselling for the families and young people that saw this tragic accident right in front of their own eyes? And maybe, just maybe, put up a safety net to prevent this from happening again."
Others have taken to Twitter to vent their safety concerns.
Tony Axelrod tweeted: "The tragedy at the Bentall Centre yesterday must prompt action to screen off high levels. How many more incidents does there have to be?"
JadieeBoooo tweeted: "Seriously the Bentall Centre need to change the security measures to prevent people commuting suicide!"
Zoe Homewood said: "The kids section should be moved rather than be in the basement where they land."
Zsuzsika Mai tweeted: "To avoid further situations like this, they need to change things, make the barriers higher or add nets or something."
Shoppers were led out of the building and police cordoned off the area while paramedics attended to Joon, who had been at school earlier in the day.
He died at St George's Hospital at about 6.15pm on Thursday evening.
Witnesses including children saw Joon fall.
A spokesman from the Bentall Centre said: "We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred on Thursday 17 July and extend our heartfelt sympathy to the deceased's family as well as those who witnessed what happened.
"A police investigation is currently underway and the Health and Safety Executive are also undertaking an audit. The centre is co-operating fully with the authorities."
A postmortem is due to take place this week.

The solace one can take amidst the portrait of obliterating heartbreak depicted in I Never Learn, Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li's third full-length album, lies in the notion that a love of equal magnitude must have preceded it. If you have yet to listen to the record, which dropped in May, the track titles (e.g. "Love Me Like I'm Not Made Of Stone" and "Never Gonna Love Again") are like preambles to the 33-minute volume of deeply realized sadness.
"Gunshot," Li's latest single, is about "the moment when it's just gone forever," she has said and in the recently released music video, the singer transforms into a harrowing, dancing zombie-like figure who has reached the breaking point of sanity.
"I had watched Great Expectations and had the image of Miss Havisham stuck in my head," says makeup extraordinaire Ozzy Salvatierra, who has collaborated with Li since her 2008 debut album, Youth Novels. "I wanted Lykke to no longer see herself and instead get lost in the character she had already developed through the music."
Although the video is dark, it's hard to take your eyes off of Li. Here, Salvatierra sheds light on the look he crafted and gives us the inside scoop behind what went down on the remote Parisian set.
faceatelier.com) with a foundation that matched the singer's natural skin tone. "She had never done a dance video before and when we put more makeup on, she said, 'OK, I can really do this.'"
2. "There is nothing on Lykke's lips except for Egyptian Magic ($38; birchbox.com). It's like an all-natural Vaseline made of olive oil, royal bee pollen, and you can put it on your skin as an amazing moisturizer, too. Unlike baby oil, which sits on top of the skin, it absorbs into your pores."
3. "Instead of going goth, I wanted to bring out the beautiful green that's in Lykke's eyes. MAKE's burgundy shadows ($25; barneys.com) and Chanel's burgundy mascara ($30; chanel.com) give you the intensity without the heaviness and cheapness that sometimes happens when people with light eyes and light hair wear black product."
5. "We wanted Lykke to look like she was standing in a moment of insanity, a moment when vanity was kind of pushed aside—so there was no blending when it came to the blush. I just dipped a really big brush into Makeup Forever's powder ($34; sephora.com) and did a severe line across the cheek bone."

I thought your alter ego would be a sweet maiden with a basket of flowers skipping through the meadows. Ha! The real you if you could wear this everyday. I'm very changeable. Mostly I'm very nice but inside sometimes I want to be loud and raucous. Kick ass and take names. I'd be dressing in the dominatirx look with my black leather pants, laced up the sides. Tight black leather vest. Thigh high black suede high heeled boots. Long, wavy, thick black hair. Purple eyes llike Elizabeth Taylor's. Got to have the long nails to match with some bright red polish. I want to be tall with long legs, small waist, medium breast and a tight butt. I also love broad shoulders not like a mans but womanly. I'm probably in some comic book already being a vampire hunter. Boy have you opened up a door. I'd like to be many people and not myself. Your just gorgeous and sweet even if you are a masochistic pervert! Mwah!ReplyDelete

i personally ... do have many. i do role playing since years, i have collected so much (in my opinion) cool characters - which become a sort of alter ego while playing them - on my way. if i had to pick one: undead redhead necromanceress. *g*

Diferencias salariales asociadas a atributos ambientales en trece ciudades colombianas: una estimación de salarios hedónicos
This paper estimates people's valuation for the sensation of physical well- being directly associated with the weather. In order to accomplish this, it identifies, using an estimation of a hedonic wage model, the wage differentials between thirteen of the largest and most important Colombian cities for 2003. It includes, among the variables, a human thermal comfort index related to average climatic conditions. The paper finds the existence of wage differentials associated with both weather conditions, and community and security characteristics. It also finds that climatic variables may impinge on labor market adjustments.

THE biker who was killed in a road crash at Millom has been named as Michael Iveson, of Lindal-in-Furness - a distant cousin of the former US presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Michael Iveson, of School Terrace, Lindal, 66, died at the scene of the collision between his motorcycle and a car on the A595 at Whicham Valley, near Millom, at 3.30pm on Sunday.
Yesterday, the dedicated biker was described by his family as 'a mad keen bike fanatic' and charity fundraiser.
In a statement, they said: "Mike Iveson from School Terrace, Lindal tragically lost his life today, Sunday 30th March 2014, doing what he loved most; riding one of his treasured motorbikes. A mad keen bike fanatic from the age of 16; if he wasn't riding motorbikes he was fixing his own or helping others fix theirs. The rest of his spare time was spent touring around the country in his caravan with his wife Pauline.
"He could always be found going to classic, vintage bike shows and was known in motorcycling circles as 'Triton Mike'.
"Over the years he has raised thousands of pounds for the Rosemere cancer foundation based in Preston.
"He retired due to ill health some two years ago after 20 years working for the civil engineering company P J Lambeth & Co.Ltd, Flookburgh.
"Two years ago during the American presidential election campaign, Mike briefly became an international celebrity as he is a distant cousin of the presidential candidate Mitt Romney, TV crews from as far away as Sweden came knocking on his door for an exclusive interview.
"As well as Pauline, Mike leaves behind two sons Ian and Mark, daughter in law Sharon, Mark's partner Raphaelle, and grandchildren Kayleigh, Sophie and Robert. " Anyone with any information about the collision should call Cumbria Police on 101 and ask for PC 259 Ian D'Arcy of the Operational Support Unit at Ulverston, or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Easy Chicken Salad
Recipe by Dougal03
I used to make this when I was kid (I started cooking at age 7) and recently started bringing it to work. My co-workers now bother me about making more! It's soooo easy to make and nice summer dish to top salads, in a sandwich, crackers, whatever you think of! When I have them, I add chopped celery...yummy!
Top Review by DuChick
Yummy, creamy chicken salad made easy as 123 right here! I made it just as stated with the onions, peppers and celery and let the flavors meld overnight. It was great! This could be doctored up a bit with dill, sour cream or other veggies if desired, but this is a terrific basic start. Thanks Dougal03! MERP'd for My 3 Chefs '08.

It's that time of the year, your kids will come home with Science fair projects; but what to do this year? To help with these challenges, Scientific Explorer and Elmer's have partnered to show kids just how easy and fun science, and science fair presentations, should be. I didn't know that Elmer's has products other than glue, did you? We decided to give the Ultimate Crystal growing kit a try and see what happens and maybe get you some Science idea for your little scientist.
The instructions were very clear and the kit included a ton of different materials to make lots of different crystals. My Tween and Teen both had a ball, they loved it. For days now they been experimenting with this kit and check out some of the creations they came up with, with little help from me.
What an amazing kit.. this kit has more crystals for the boys to discover and play with, who would have thought they can grow their own crystals and watch them grow as well. The first picture was actually pretty funny, we added one pellet of the powder and poof the crystal appeared in front of your eyes, well we added a little bit too much because it grew and grew and grew.. in the end it was formed like the glass and looked like an ice crystal.. but it was soo cool to see it appear. The yellow one took a few days about a week or so to grow into what you can see in the picture. It's so pretty.. it used to be a rock and now it's so pretty. The boys loved it.
What a cool project for the kids to do while at home, on a rainy day or just to keep them buys and prepare them for Science Fair. We defiantly recommend this kit. Now to make this Science Fair project complete, you need some display products and that's where Elmer's comes in, Elmer's offers products to help kids with their science fair presentation. Products like display boards, fom sheets, markers, stencils, borders, letters/numbers and of curse glue. We haven't started our Science Fair project for school yet, but can't wait to get started. However, my Tween was instructed at school to create a No Drug poster and these elmer's products sure came in handy.

Tres Hombres
Michael Thomas, Dan McGarry, and Johnny and Pablo Scurto, all native Californians, draw recipes from throughout Latin America to evoke the coastal cuisine of Baja California and the Yucatán. At Tres Hombres, nestled in downtown Petaluma and Chico, chefs translate these orchestras of flavor into dishes such as Michoacán-style roasted pork carnitas, ancho-crusted Atlantic salmon, and tacos stuffed with more than 10 fillings such as mahi mahi, sirloin steak, and shrimp. Chefs interact with customers and answer questions about preparation at the taco bar, which looks into the open kitchen. Bartenders shake margaritas blended from more than 160 agave tequilas and pour Mexican beers and Spanish and Chilean wines behind a full bar backed by an expansive collection of bottles only rivaled by the collection of a deserted-island post office. In keeping with Latin American communal spirit, the restaurant hosts nights of live music and salsa dancing, as well as a weekly farmers' market with local vendors.

Philadelphia (Aug. 2)
(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
The Ku Klux Klan, will hold its Konclave in Washington, on September 13, 14, and 15, because of Mayor Kendrick's refusal to permit its taking place in Philadelphia, according to an announcement made by Paul M. Winter, field representative of the hooded organization in this city. Mayor Kendrick at the same time forbade the Klan's parading through the streets of Philadelphia because he felt that the purposes of the Klan were at variance with the sentiments underlying the celebration of the 150th anniversary of American independence.
This decision, according to Mr. Winter, was reached at a recent meeting of the State leaders of the Klan in Chicago.
Until the decision was made to hold the Konclave at Washington, three hours away from Philadelphia, it was rumored that it would be held in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Winter also announced that the Chicago meeting had re-elected Dr. Hiram Wesley Evans to serve as Imperial Wizard for two more years.
A few days before Mr. Winter's announcement Klansmen at a gathering outside Chester, near this city, had burned a fiery cross and reiterated their intentions of attempting to March in Philadelphia despite Mayor Kendrick's ban. Whether the action of the nationwide leaders of the order will affect the intentions of these members has not been revealed.

It's a bike that glows in the dark, a doghouse with more style than your own home and a computer keyboard made of washable, programmable fabric - whatever our expectations, British designers seem determined to defy them.
The Powerhouse Museum is showing the UK's most extraordinary, quirky and inventive concepts, which are guaranteed to challenge lingering stereotypes.
Sandy Sydney beaches might seem the perfect setting for such exhibition highlights as a self-chilling drink can, another bright British idea. It's a beer-lover's dream come true.
"The can is appealing, especially in a warm climate where everyone loves a coldie," says Will Knight, of the UK Design Council, which brought the collection to Australia.
Made from low-cost materials, the aluminium can is an efficient miniature fridge. There's a sealed layer of gel inside the can and a special base containing a clay-based drying agent. By twisting the can and base together, these two components interact. The clay absorbs water from the gel, producing a drink-cooling evaporation process.
It's just one of more than a hundred products and services that have found a place at the table, literally. A giant, glowing table.
Entitled Great Expectations, the exhibition is inspired by the banquet scene in Charles Dickens's classic novel. The oversized table is set with a cross-section of design disciplines. Its chairs are fitted with screens showing music videos, award-winning commercials and cutting edge graphics.
"Design is often misconstrued as the wallpaper or the lounge and I think what this does is to uncover the creativity of other products ... Design is best when it challenges," Knight says.
Consider the humble dog house, which in many backyards owes its heritage to mass-produced shedding or leftovers from the D-I-Y cubby. Few would ever have earned such sleek, considered construction. For those wondering, why, the answer is often as simple as: "why not".
"It's a dog house. It's not going to change the world," says Knight. "It just looks great."
Conversely, designers have taken disciplines known more for their looks and added some amazing functionality.
Textiles blur into the realm of computer peripherals with "Elektex", a futuristic fabric described as flexible, washable, waterproof and programmable. It has a conductive structure and can sense when and where it is touched - all without wires.
"The soft keyboard uses technology to ensure that the conductivity is equal though the materials," explains Knight. "It has obvious applications. You can fold it up and put it in your pocket. It's handy if you use a PDA. And if it gets dirty, you can wash it."
One jacket has pockets and sockets for all your favourite gadgetry, while another garment integrates fashion with MP3s and exercise (even roller skating). It has the ability to track the wearer's physical condition with biometric sensors and an application called a Virtual Coach - all the while supplying top quality audio. (Sir Cliff would approve!)
If housework appeals more than a workout, consider the "automatic" laundry basket. It can't pick up towels and socks from the floor, but it can weigh the washing it contains and, as you empty it, helpfully raise the remaining contents for easy access.
"There are also a few of what I call lifesaving designs," says Knight, who picks the Biogel Reveal surgical glove as an example.
"It fights infections that can occur if gloves are pierced. It has a double layer of plastic and when the outer layer is pierced, dye is released to alert the wearer. It's already available in Australia."
There are some Aussie elements in the exhibition, too. Innovative Australian designer Marc Newson is responsible for the aluminium bike that races to catch the eye. Beyond its funky shape, the frame also glows in the dark. His ode to cycling is included in Great Expectations because Newson works from London.
"We're not claiming to have stolen him, but that work came about in London," says Knight. "London now has the greatest number of design consultants in the world. We're not coming here to say that UK designers are the be all and end all, but we can complement Australian design."
Great Expectations will be on display at the Powerhouse Museum until February 1.

We're only at the all-star break, but Dwane Casey already has a list for DeMar DeRozan to peruse in the off-season.
The goal is to make sure DeRozan's appearance at the NBA's marquee mid-season event Sunday isn't a one-off deal.
Casey's recommendation: "To continue to work, to continue to improve, to continue to get stronger, to continue to play versus physicality because he's going to get the best defender each and every night," said the coach.
Casey's confident DeRozan won't suddenly start slacking.
"He has done a great job every year of getting back and I know he won't be (satisfied) because he's such a basketball junkie. So I don't see him taking time off this summer just because he made the all-star team."
As for specifics, it's well known that DeRozan could stand to work on his ball-handling and Casey hopes that's a focus.
"Ball-handling is going to be something, learning to run the pick-and-roll ... He's improved in so many areas, it would be nit-picking, but that would be one area, pick-and-roll ball-handling."

Australia offers Afghans cash to leave
Afghan asylum seekers in Australia are to be offered A$2,000 (US$1,100) each to head home.
The Australian Government said the money would be paid as part of a package of measures to persuade people to leave now that Afghanistan's former ruling Taleban have been ousted from power.
More than 1,000 Afghans are immediately eligible for the payment, while 3,500 who have temporary refugee status will become eligible once that status lapses.
It applies only to Afghans in detention in Australia who have been found not to be refugees, or who are still waiting for a decision on their applications for protection.
Upper limit
He said the payments were equivalent to five years' wages for the average Afghan.
In the cases of families who decide to go home, there will be an upper limit of A$10,000 (US$5,600) where the family includes husband, wife and dependent children.
The government said the cash would be paid alongside support services like counselling and providing help finding job training in Afghanistan, as well as a free flight to Kabul.
To be eligible for the package, Afghans must have arrived in Australia on or before 16 May 2002, the date an agreement was signed with the Afghan interim government.
Australia took about 10,000 asylum seekers from Afghanistan and the Middle East in the last few years, many of them being brought by people-smugglers from Indonesia.
Since last year, the government has refused to allow any more boats carrying asylum seekers to reach its shores, diverting them to Pacific neighbours.

11W favorite and former Buckeye Bobby Knight will tie Dean Smith for 1st place on the all-time Division I wins list if Texas Tech can beat Bucknell at home Saturday. The win will be his 879th. Combing the record books, I was also able to uncover that Knight is already ranked #1 on the all time F-Bombs Dropped list with 2,803,795,305 in a colorful career. 11W's take is that while The General can lose his mind on occasion, his record of developing kids into successful people is undeniable. In this day age, that ability is more valuable than ever.
Multiple media outlets are reporting that Florida Gators big man and leading scorer Al Horford is likely to miss Saturday's game against the Buckeyes. Horford has been slowed by a high ankle sprain causing him to miss the last two games. Head coach Billy Donovan didn't totally close the door on Horford playing so expect it to be a game time decision.

Put these in very easy. Get asked about them all the time. I was surprised how well they've held up to washing, drying and styling. Not interested in streaking or highlighting my hair so these are a great way to add some flare, and you can take them out w
Lovely hair! Really soft and true to length. Thickness of the hair is great. Fast delivery and excellent customer service.
You're reviewing: 20" #60 Straight Tape In Human Hair Extensions [TS123048]
Part hair on scalp into section where application is desired.
Please warm to double sided tape by a straightener or hair drier before using. The glue in the tape will be in perfect condition and can last a long time.
Peel off the label on the tape and apply to sections on the where the wanted hair is desired.
Pull a small section of your own hair over the small taped weft and repeat , and so your own hair is sandwiched between the 2 tapes of hair apply directly by using your hand and press with the double sided tape against the hair you sectioned off.
These must be applied to washed unonitioned hair.the hair must not be washed for at least theee days after aplication.
Keep your hair and scalp clean! When sweat and dirt build up your hair tangles. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Detangle your hair first from the ends to the roots before shampooing. Wash your hair gentle in a downward motion (from the roots to the ends). When you're done rinse your hair thoroughly.Condition your hair after every wash. Dry your hair gently, don't rub it with a towel but move in a downward motion from roots to ends. Gently detangle your hair.
After you get your hair extensions it is best to wait 48 hours before you wash your hair.
It is better to avoid heat. Heat is your one of your hair's biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.
DON'T sleep on wet hair. A good habit is to tie your hair together in a ponytail to prevent tangling as much as possible.
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.

New Delhi, April 5 (IANS) Popular producer Raghu Ram, best known for his MTV show "Roadies", got burns while attempting a stunt he wanted to finalise for the contestants.
The tough taskmaster Raghu usually tests his own capabilities before letting the contestants take a plunge. But when he ran through a path after setting it ablaze, he ended up with burns on his back, says a source.
All necessary precautions were taken, and Raghu even wore a body suit for the task in Kolhapur. But the task proved hazardous, due to which Raghu declared it unsafe and modified it for the contestants.
The show is currently in its eighth season.

Okay, we know you've heard this joke before....
MIAMI -- "We have to say hasta la vista baby to the greenhouse gases," said California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, praising Gov. Charlie Crist at a luncheon Friday for his leadership on combatting global warming.
Climate summit conventioneers applauded enthusiastically when Schwarzenegger said, "Another Republican Governor is defying conventional wisdom."
The GOP is thrilled to have an un-Bush issue to market to moderates. "We're not looking at Washington for leadership any more," the Governator said.
"We've proven that a Republican can, in fact, protect the environment," Schwarzenegger said.

Downsize Question
I'm thinking of downsizing my handgun collection and can't decide on which to possibly get rid of...which 3 should I keep and why?
Glock 19 9mm
HK USP 45c
Nighthawk Custom .45
Sig P226 Combat 9mm
Sig P938 9mm
All of them have a purpose, but I have another venture that I want to fund without using cash from the bank. :eek:
With the economy looking up (finally) more people have a little bit more discretionary income... so selling is a good decision now.... and listing them here on the FTF in the classifieds is a good option.
First.. choose which 9mm is your favorite (shoot often, feels right, conceals easy etc.) and sell the other two. Second... if money is the goal that Nighthawk is (again IMO) the most valuable and the one that will hold and rise in price... so decide if it's more important to have money in hand or a good investment. Third... there is definitely more of a niche' market (cult following) for the HK than the S&W so that will probably sell quicker and for more. Good luck.
I'd keep the two Sigs and the H&K. My reasoning is that the Sigs give you a good CC weapon and another platform that uses the same ammo, and the H&K is a nice 5" barrelled .45 acp. for fun and thumping. Both manufacturers have a great quality rep too. My$.02.
You have too many Glocks, so that would be first.
Then the H&K (the .45 is covered by the Nighthawk, and there are more 'smiths available who can work on 1911s.)
Then the P938 (kind of hard to get parts for in SHTF, while the P226 is all over.)
But this is only my opinion!
Trick question?
You don't get rid of guns--You get more :confused:
so it's .02
+ .02
I'd keep the two SIGS and the Glock
I would keep the H&K, Nighthawk, and SIG P938, so you get the two most popular calibers and all three are good guns leaving you with a diverse enough choice for the majority of situations.
I'd keep all 3 of your CZ's
