FAIR Legislative Update July 9, 2012
Number of Illegal Alien Minors Crossing Border Alone Continues to Grow
According to recently released U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) figures, 15,590 unaccompanied illegal alien minors have crossed the border so far this fiscal year. (MSNBC, July 3, 2012) The CBP defines unaccompanied illegal alien minors as those under the age of 18 who are traveling without their parents or guardians. (Id.) This figure marks a significant increase over the past two years. Over the same time period in 2011, the number of unaccompanied illegal alien minors was 10,776; and in 2010, it was 13,267. (Id.) In fact, during 2011 alone, the total number of unaccompanied minors apprehended was 16,607. (CNS News, June 12, 2012)
The significant growth in the number of unaccompanied illegal alien minors comes at the same time as the Obama Administration has significantly relaxed immigration enforcement. Most recently, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a memo last month that offered to grant "deferred action" status and work authorization to illegal aliens between the ages of sixteen and thirty who are already in the country. (See FAIR Legislative Update, June 19, 2012)
This new policy of granting deferred action has the potential to encourage even more illegal border crossings by minors. This is mainly because one of the prerequisites to receiving deferred action is presence in the U.S. as of June 15, 2012 (although Administration officials suggested during a stakeholder phone call the exact cut-off date was still being determined). While future border crossers will not meet that deadline, once in the U.S., they will likely forge documents to establish eligibility.
Meanwhile both Republicans and Democrats in Congress continue to voice support for the DREAM Act, which would grant permanent amnesty to virtually all illegal alien minors. Rep. David Rivera (R-FL), and Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ), have all touted competing versions of the DREAM Act. (See H.R. 5869, May 30, 2012; see also FAIR Legislative Update, April 2, 2012) Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who appears to have been working with Sens. Hutchison and Kyl, has been touting his own version of the DREAM Act for months, but announced he is now withholding introducing it until after the November elections, on account of the Administration rolling out its June amnesty memo. (See FAIR Legislative Update, June 19, 2012; see also The Hill, June 18, 2012)
Judiciary Chairman Demands Answers over Administrative Amnesty
In a July 3rd letter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton, House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) demanded to know how the agency plans to implement its new administrative amnesty program. This program was announced in a June 15, 2012 policy memo authored by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, which offered "deferred action" and work authorization to most illegal aliens up to the age of 30. (See Rep. Smith Press Release, July 3, 2012)
In the letter, Chairman Smith severely criticizes the agency for its lack of foresight and failure to plan. Charging that, "little if any thought was put toward actual implementation of the policy," Smith cites a June 18 conference call with DHS officials in which not a single one could respond to questions about how the Administration would implement the amnesty. (Read the letter here)
Rep. Smith further pointed out that during that call, neither ICE Director Morton, Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Alejandro Mayorkas, nor Customs and Border Protection Commissioner David Aguilar — the officials facilitating the meeting — could respond to basic questions regarding the new policy such as:
- When must have an illegal alien entered the country to qualify?
- What is a significant misdemeanor for purposes of qualifying?
- Do part-time students qualify for the amnesty?
- Will DHS charge an application fee?
To the contrary, at the outset of the call, Director Mayorkas stated that they were "not in the position to answer many questions about the process." (Id.)
Demanding answers to the above questions and dozens of others, Chairman Smith chastised the Administration for announcing the policy without first developing an implementation plan. "Such a lack of forethought about processing and implementation prior to announcement of the policy is a dereliction of the duty the President vowed to uphold," said Smith.
Further illustrating the Administration's lack of transparency and the policy's susceptibility for fraud, the Chairman also stated that his committee had obtained internal documents suggesting the Administration was already granting amnesty to illegal aliens, despite telling the public it would take at least 60-days to develop a plan. According to Chairman Smith, "The documents demonstrate that illegal immigrants have already benefited from the new policy, even though there are no standards in place. Without any standards in place, the President's new amnesty is an open invitation to fraud."
The Department of Homeland Security had scheduled an additional conference call on the new policy to take place today, but cancelled it Friday morning. Stay tuned to FAIR as details of the Administration's amnesty policy unfolds…

"Well, the children's voices were heard," wrote Volokh. "They just seemed to be less obsessed with race than some administrators are."

LG can't meet demand for iPhone and iPad screens from Apple
I think that anyone who has tried to buy a new Apple product like the iPad or iPhone on launch day and the days and weeks thereafter knows that shortages are common. The main reason for shortages of Apple products like these is that Apple can't get enough screens.
LG Display builds the screens for many of the Apple products including the iPad and iPhone. LG has stated that it will not be able to meet the demand that Apple has for screens.

- Page 1 Enermax Aurora Premium Review
- Page 2 Enermax Aurora Premium Review
The styling of the Aurora is little different to the old model with the same black (silver is also available) anodised brushed aluminium body surrounding the keys and making up the wrist rest. Just as with the original, and every other brushed aluminium surface we've ever encountered on any device, the Premium picks up fingerprints with consummate ease. As always, though, a soft cloth, or such like, will take care of these. What's more, even when covered in greasy paw prints, the Aurora's looks are only betrayed when viewed from certain angles.
At 455 x 172.5 x 25mm, the Aurora is to all intents and purposes a standard sized keyboard, apart from its low-profile design. It is, however, uncommonly heavy, at 1.3Kg, but that's the price you pay for the quality aluminium construction. Also, the weight means the keyboard stays rooted to the spot and doesn't slide across your desk when typing.
The keys are the same notebook style, low-profile design used on the original Aurora. The surface of the keys feels rougher and the action a little stiffer than my old Aurora but this may just be because my old keyboard is feeling the strain of two years of heavy use. Either way, the Premium is still an utter pleasure to type on. The rough surface of the keys gives you good purchase so your finger's don't go flying off the keys when typing at speed and Enermax's patented scissor spring technology ensures all the keys still depress properly even when approached from the most peculiar angles. Moreover, the strong springiness and positive action of the keys means you always know when you've struck a key so touch-typing is a breeze.
So in terms of typing the Premium is a worthy successor to the Aurora's low-profile crown. However, when we look at the Premium's other big feature – the USB audio – the whole house of cards comes crashing down.
Put simply, the quality of the Premium's onboard sound is appalling. There's a constant background hiss that, regardless of how much tweaking I did, I couldn't get rid of. If you have possibly the most unresponsive awful pair of earphones, you may not notice, but if you've invested good money in some quality cans, you'll be sorely disappointed.
Although that one thing is enough to render the audio essentially useless, there is one other annoyance to cap it all off. There doesn't seem to be a way of actually controlling the volume of the device so you have to put the volume controller in most programs to near zero for it to be listenable. This may actually be largely responsible for the horrible background noise as the device volume may be jammed on maximum. Whatever it is, however, I couldn't shift either problem. Why Enermax thought this was a better solution than, god forbid, just using thicker cables for the audio, I do not know.
The one saving grace for the Aurora Premium is its fairly competitive price. At around £45 it is around the same price as most other 'gaming' keyboards and less than many other 'quality' keyboards, though many of these include extra features. Even then, though, the original Aurora is still available from the same online retailer for £35, and I know which I'd go for.
The Enermax Aurora Premium is attractive, well built, and a pleasure to type on. Indeed, unless you're a die hard fan of full-height keyboards I'd recommend it to all and sundry on this basis. However, if the USB audio pass-through is a feature you're looking out for then think again because the sound quality is awful. Indeed, overall I'd recommend you actually just go and buy the original Aurora instead (while it's still available).

National League Division Series starts October 7th
The Phillies probably would have wanted to celebrate in Milwaukee this weekend. That won't happen with the Phillies losing on Saturday night and the Braves winning again. The magic number is stuck on 4 and there is only today's game and then a four game series vs. Houston and a final weekend series vs. Florida to go at home for the Phils.
Did the Phillies purposely do this so they can clinch at home? I don't think so but it's probably not as sweet to clinch on the road than it is at home in front of your own fans. The Phillies have been in a season that they weren't used to: that is being the World Champions of baseball and going out there and defending your title. It probably made it that much harder to play teams with the fact that they probably went out there with a little more effort in wanting to beat the World Champs.
So this then brings the question? When will they clinch? If the season keeps going like this it's hard to predict. One thing that this has done though is fuel ticket sales to the remaining games because everyone wants a seat at the game that the Phils will clinch at. Who knows it could be Thursday, Friday or it just may be over next weekend. The chance that Atlanta has to come back and take this division still exists, the chances are very slim but it still exists.
One thing is becoming more clear though and that is the first round opponent of the Phillies could be the Cardinals now that the Phillies have the lower number of wins of all three division leaders at this time. Atlanta is making a valiant run at the Wild Card now just 2.5 games back from the Rockies. They would be a dark horse to win it all but you never know. Everything changes the minute the regular season ends, then it starts again from the beginning, everything that happened 162 games ago is all but history and you still have to play to win and survive in the first round of the quick division series.
The Phillies have been going through a rough period over the last 10 games or so. They are 5-5 and losers of the last two. I still think this could have been a 100 win team if it weren't for certain things that have happened over the season. A week from now when the season ends all the stats will be in, the regular season will be over and the Phillies should have a couple of days to rest before they enter into the playoffs again and a chance to become World Series champions again, you have to make the playoffs to have a chance to accomplish that.

text: Oh My God!!! Kimberla Lawson Roby, WOW! What a story. First off the main character, Paige, was truly disturbed. Her plight of living in her sister's shadow her entire childhood had finally pushed her too far over the edge. I don't want to give away the story, but I will say this. The lengths that some people will go to for happiness is a bit frightening. A story filled with lies, rage, jealousy and deceit. You will not want to put this book down until you've completed it. Its a quick read but should be placed on your reading list in the MUST READ category. – Norman LaVelle

Atmosphere, character, relationship, and education are important words at Lancaster Christian Academy. LCA is an incredible school located one block off of Murfreesboro Road, in the heart of Smyrna. Lancaster Christian Academy was founded with the objective of providing an excellent education in a Christian environment. The school community where a child spends the greatest portion of their day is very important. The result of a good contemporary Christian school is a place where the student can thrive and succeed in a loving, safe, and fun atmosphere. LCA's environment fosters individuality, creativity, and self-esteem.
Lancaster Christian Academy desires students to have a passionate, relevant relationship with Jesus Christ. Students will participate in daily bible classes centering around biblical truths and will also enjoy a weekly interactive chapel with a contemporary worship band and special guest speakers from around the community and school. While all of our staff takes on the mantle of "campus pastor," we have intentionally employed three campus pastors who are dedicated to investing relationally into our students' lives. It is typical to see fun, student activities planned by our campus pastors such as: white water rafting, paint ball, coffee shops or ice cream, worship nights and various outings with the intent of building relationships for spiritual growth.
The Gathering of Smyrna is a community wide outreach worship service our campus pastors and student worship team holds every Wednesday evening on campus in the Markham-Partlow Gymnasium. The Gathering is another avenue for middle and high school students to commune with their student body, friends and family, and community while growing in the Lord. We invite you to join us and experience The Gathering; doors open at 7:00 p.m. and worship begins at 8:00 p.m.

I cheaped out on materials and made a reception desk from 2×4s and 3/4 pine plywood from HD. In handside knowing all the work that would go in I would buy something better. The plywood is edged with hard maple so corners are protected and I plan to cover horizontal surfaces with epoxy so I am not worried about those. The fir 2×4s are nicely planned and exposed so I planned to apply epoxy to it too. Not sure how it works with vertical surfaces though. Will it work or is there a better idea to protect the wood from dings ?

It's often said that the British solution to a crisis is to put the kettle on. There is wisdom here. Hospitality, fellowship and conversation build community and put things – even the hardest things - into a new perspective. We see each other as people, not as problems.
Last month churches around the country received resources inviting them to consider hosting community events and participate in five days of prayer following the 29 March – which has for three years loomed large in our national psyche as 'Brexit day'. (Now - formerly Brexit day.)
The idea was introduced by the Archbishop of Canterbury at General Synod in February, and since then a group of bishops have, as speedily as possible, discussed what a pastoral response might look like.
Given that it is Lent, an already busy time for churches and with just a couple of weeks to get arrangements in place, another event for the busy timetable might seem madness. Yet, the process that we are embroiled in, and which appears to be unravelling right now, and will probably change again tomorrow, will come to an end at some point. When we wake up on that day, we will still be neighbours to one another.
The thing that distresses me is that since the referendum in 2016, we have fallen into the habit of defining one another as 'leavers' or 'remainers'. We've got to put an end to that and say whichever way you voted, we're still sisters and brothers to one another, both locally and as part of a global community.
Brexit has created a situation in this country which I don't think we've seen for years where we are divided amongst ourselves over a single issue, and that's not a healthy.
Some might suggest that 'tea and prayer' is an old-fashioned approach to fixing this, yet I do not believe that our national discourse can be healed through social media, where off-the-cuff remarks and self-curation serve to widen gaps, increasing our isolation under the guise of connectivity. Quite simply, there is no substitute for real human engagement.
The conversation we are trying to start is not really about Brexit itself, but about how we can love one another and how can we be good neighbours to one another. This sort of engagement is always better face-to-face. It requires us to hear one another's voices and see each other's expressions, to sense needs and vulnerabilities, and to empathise even where we may disagree.
So, my message to our churches is this: whether it's tea or coffee, a beer in the pub, a glass of sherry in the vestry, conversations in your local school, community centre, church hall or park bench, invite people to get together and name the issues which divide and unite them even if it seems unpalatable and uncomfortable. Let's try and take a lead in drawing people together so that we can re-discover our common humanity and our belonging together. It is the only way that as a nation we can begin to move towards a shared vision for the future. It might not be all smiles and agreement, but naming our disagreements is an important start.
Finally, some people have accused 'Prayer and Conversation for Brexit' as being an initiative from on high. Well, not really, this is more a blessing of what many churches and dioceses were already planning to do. Some have said, why wasn't there more notice? Well, although we've known the potential significance of 'Brexit day' for a long while, the actual decision to make this a national initiative has only been made recently. Sometimes this is the best way to make decisions; reading the signs of the times and responding to what is happening around us.
So, put the kettle on; open the doors; invite the community in. I know we do this every day anyway; but let us do it with particular care and with a special intention for the needs of our nation and all its people at this particularly sensitive and challenging moment in our national life. And do it in a way that works for you.
The resources on the Church of England website are very adaptable to different styles of event, but as we have a presence in every community and know those communities well, we are uniquely placed to help make this happen. Don't leave it until it's too late.

The cardinal factor on the road to good health is to alkalise our body fluids. Quite simple and elementary based on the fact that all raw foods, when consumed, produce an alkalising effect, which inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria that thrive in an acidic environment.
The pH required for good health is 6.5 or over, whereas a pH of 6 or under is inviting ill health. Although pH sounds rather hi tech, in practice it is readily assessed with litmus papers included in every box of Alkala (purified bicarbonate of soda), the recommended supplement.
You might have heard or read that people living exclusively on raw foods enjoy not only very good health but are also endowed with plenty of energy for sustained physical effort.
Adopting this simple guideline, my wife and I have been freed of regular bouts of influenza every since.
My very best regards
Frank Schenk
Osborne Park WA
(Ed: I hope Frank you enjoy Peter Dingle's very constructive article this month urging a holistic approach to health called "Overcoming Illness".)
Frank has also sent us his recent submission to the Minister for Health, Sussan Ley headed:
Arbitrary Discrimination of Health Services and Some Serious Flaws of Medical Centres
We think it deserves a wider and probably more receptive audience:
Dear Minister
You must be aware that over the years successive governments have conducted campaigns of non-discrimination to counteract the widespread airing of prejudiced views expressed by most people about others, based on hearsay - an unacceptable flaw in a multicultural society.
I am therefore quite surprised to note that in health matters your Ministry continues to maintain a sharp distinction between orthodox and alternative Health Care Providers, favouring the first yet denigrating the second and their patients as well.
Surely you must know that with the advent of Medical Centres, independent GPs have virtually disappeared, with the result that their patients are now treated as a mere commodity, having lost the right to individual appointments, often resulting in long waiting times of two hours or more. Consultations are strictly reduced to 15 minutes or you are charged a double fee. Practitioners don't bother to discuss what ails you but turn directly to their prescription pad despite Aristotle's dictate of "Let food be your medicine". And, alas, the modern medicaments prescribed nowadays do not cure as they are specifically designed to be taken indefinitely.
Additionally, the medical procedures practiced by these Centres are well and truly past their time. For instance, when a GP makes a request for a blood sample it requires two visits to the GP and one to a blood collecting centre. Usually, it takes one or two weeks to obtain the results of a very limited analysis, and, as a rule, the patient isn't given a copy of the results.
In sharp contrast, Alternative Practitioners take a fingertip blood sample, spread it over a microscope connected to a computer and within a very short time the results of a detailed analysis are flashed on a screen, enabling the patient to see different types of defective corpuscles. The practitioner can then offer various forms of treatment. All this takes less than one hour. On leaving, a computer disc is offered to the patient.
At Alternative Health Centres, patients are seen at the appointed time, welcomed with a big smile, can talk about their problems to a sympathetic listener because consultations last from half an hour up to one hour. And, last but not least, the computer technologies used by these practitioners are simply amazing.
Yet these patients using cheaper and more effective health care facilities are denied any finding from Medicare, an unjustified discrimination.
Having experienced both systems, there is no doubt at all that a wide discrepancy exists between the practitioners of orthodox and alternative health care concerning their attitude towards patients, which can be summarised as arrogance from the orthodox sector and respect from the alternative sector.
I am convinced that if your government decided to acknowledge and support the Alternative Health Care System, people's health would be far better and the budget of your Ministry much lighter.

1. Recognize you're a sinner.
First, you must admit your spiritual need: "There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10). We can't make excuses or blame others for our circumstances and our actions. "For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
2. Recognize that Jesus Christ died for you.
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God…" (1 Peter 3:18). Jesus paid the price for your sin. The Apostle Paul said, "…the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).
3. Repent of your sins.
The word "repent" means to change your direction. The Bible tells us, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19). God commands us to repent. You must be willing to turn away from the things that displease God.
4. Accept Jesus as your Savior
Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). It is essential that you come to Jesus as you are. Don't try to "clean up your life" before you come to God. Instead, receive Him and allow Him to do the "cleansing." Jesus said, "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37).
5. Pray, with a sincere heart, something like this…
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins. Please forgive me for my sins and cleanse me by Your blood. I accept You by faith as my personal Lord and Savior. Give me a thirst for Your Word and Help me to follow You all of my days. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
What have you just done?
By accepting Jesus into your life as your personal Lord and Savior, you have established a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Before confessing Him by faith, you were an enemy of God because your sins had separated you from Him. The Bible says, "Your iniquities [sins] have separated you from your God… "(Isaiah 59:2). Now, by asking Jesus into your heart, you are free from the bondage of sin and are under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Before accepting Jesus you were ruled by sin, but now the Spirit will rule you. Romans 8:5 says, "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit."
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, as a Christian you should:
- Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better."Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalms 119:105)
- Talk to God in prayer every day."And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:22)"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God"(Philippians 4:6)
- Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority."Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"(Matthew 28:19)"not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhortingone another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and isprofitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16)
- Tell others about Christ."And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."(Mark 16:15)"For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16)"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek." (Romans 1:16).

New York gets "High," on Broadway
Written by Matthew Lombardo and directed by Rob Ruggiero
Starring: Kathleen Turner
By the time New Yorkers get "High," on Broadway the play will have gone through evolutions pushed by six months of audience reviews and director revisions. The final product should be a direct hit among smoking critics missing character depth in their theatric consumption.
Kathleen Turner's Tony nomination for her 2005 Broadway appearance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," promises "High," expectations. In her interview with The New York Times Kathleen Turner was quoted as suggesting Kathleen's character,
"makes me think of how much we operate every single day on faith and belief," even outside of connections to organized religion.
Kathleen has true faith in a clear connection with her character (Sister Jamison Connelly).
Connelly is described by Turner as "a foul-mouthed alcoholic nun."
Kathleen's life experience tailoring authentic delivery will make the Manhattan Premiere a must see. Stephen Kunken and Evan Jonigkeit will also be "High," acting talents joining Ms. Turner on stage in early spring.
"High," previews in Manhattan begin March 25th with an opening scheduled for April 19th at the Booth Theater.
New York City International Performing Arts Reporters will be covering the premiere.

Imagine being able to witness 1,200+ competitive female athletes on 68+ teams from 15 US States and Canadian provinces in 8 brackets playing on 4 courts for 3 days in 1 location! The National Title IX Conference and Classic does just that by showcasing high school girl's basketball teams that are state or national champions and have a team GPA of 3.0 or better. These teams are invited to be guests of The Sankofa Project in the Nation's Capitol for five exciting days as they encourage and motivate players, their parents, and coaches.
These five days include the "Playing with a Purpose" Title IX Conference with workshops to inspire, educate and advise young women about pursuing their dreams, and using high school sports as a vehicle for a possible "full ride" to college thru a NCAA scholarship.
Students and coaches both participate in the conference and learn more about Title IX in an effort to become strong self-advocates and prepare for post- secondary success.
This highly competitive basketball tournament attracts a wide range of college scouts and leads to college scholarships for promising players who meet NCAA academic standards.
This event is FREE to participating students. Every effort is made to keep costs down to ensure financial means is not a barrier to participation. We need your financial support to underwrite food and beverage costs for all teams, and hotel costs for visiting teams.
The Sankofa Project is a 501(c)3 that works to improve Title IX compliance in athletics. Our mission is to raise the bar of post high school expectation for female students by introducing them to rewarding career paths in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math and inspiring them to use NCAA scholarships to pay for the college degree they may need.
Please help us:
Increase student interest in non-traditional careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math;
Inform students and parents of the purpose and intent of Title IX and the protections and benefits it provides to males and females in educational institutions that receive federal funds; and
Inspire more female scholar-athletes to Play With a Purpose - A College Scholarship!

Hairlekin : bow shaped bun (idea from Etude House)
by Rosalie
Hi everyone,
today I am gonna try something new for you guys, I hope you like it.
I found some pictures from korean brands (espacially from Etude House) where they give some ideas to make nice hair styles. I was very interested in trying them out. Thats why I had the idea to make a review about this hair style, if it is possible to make it, is it easy/difficould...
You have to know that I hate to make selfies, because I hate my face smiling for the camera. I always look ugly! :D so please don't be shocked if my face do something funny and not smiling as other people do such pictures! :D haha
the make up that I where on the pictures is made by my sister. Normally I prefer a lighter make up, but violetta said she had to do it for a other review and she needed help... yes, as a little sister you always have to do strange things for your older sister!^^
Anyway, at first I show you how Etude House shows the tutorial and then I show you pictures from me trying to make it, too!^^
So far so good.
For me it is always difficould to make nice buns, because my hair isn't sooo long (but I want to let it grow!^^) but I love to make my hair and try out new hairstyles. So I thought this idea of a bow shaped bun looks really cute and easy to make.
At first I show you my hair lenght that you can see if you ahve a similar hair lenght if it works or not.
At first I tied my hair together... AS HIGH AS I COULD... :D (like the discription said)
...and making a bun!
ummmm, okey,......
I tryed to divide the bun in two parts but with that my bun crashed and I had to start a new begin.
This is my secound try and my new bun. seriously, I have to say if I wanted to make this hairstyle in the morning I would get pissed of very fast and it would be a bad morning for me and all the people who have to meet me! :D
I personally think that if you want to make a bow you have to seperate a little wisp of hair for the middle part. because taking hair out from the middle part of my bun crashed my bun...
My seperated hair is to long to yust put it something behind the bun, oh man this is really a mess...
looking at the result it looks really horrible. not like a bow or something pretty. yust as a scary bun! :D
If you wanted to try this hair tutorial from Etude House you would be very sad in the end.
I hope this review was helpfull and you like my idea of making reviews about korean hairstyles. I also wanted to try hair tutorials from pinterest, because they are pretty and interesting to try by myself! :3
If you wanted to read more reviews like this please let me know and I will try my best! ;)
If you like this review please also read our other reviews about korean beauty products!^^
If you don't want to leaf a new post out then follow us on facebook we would be very happy about it!^^

Delino DeShields was just starting to give the Rangers a good option at leadoff in their order when he came up limping after a play in the outfield back on June 14.
Now, he's on his way back to the Rangers' lineup as he's set to begin a rehab assignment on Saturday for Triple-A Round Rock, where he'll play alongside fellow Rangers rehabbers Josh Hamilton and Martin Perez.
DeShields will hopefully be able to come back and pick up where he left off, and hopefully he'll be able to spell a struggling Leonys Martin in center with Hamilton playing in left — or vice versa, even. This season, DeShields is batting .269 with a .358 on-base percentage, nine doubles and four triples. He also has 13 steals and has been caught just twice.
DeShields had been playing well for an extended period of time before his injury. Over his last 29 games, he's hit .284 with a .361 on-base percentage, which is better than Martin by a mile even though Martin holds an edge on him in the outfield and playing Hamilton in center is just scary because of his fragile body.
DeShields' pending return could be just what the Rangers' offense needs to get warm again, and hopefully he'll back back around the same time as Hamilton when the Rangers head to Baltimore on Monday.

On November 3rd, The Creative Lab interns Sammy and Michelle headed out to the Mezz in Breda where a series of talks were going to take place throughout the day. The TEDx Program is designed to help communities, organizations and individuals to spark conversation and connection through local TED-like experiences. The TEDx event's talks and videos trigger reflective discussions and connections at a personal level. The theme of the day was Game On, which explored different approaches of games and gamification. There was a focus on the possibilities provided by gaming and the ability to learn through play.
The main objective for the day was to record a 360-degree after-movie that would reflect the highlights and journey of the event. We had a camera set up on stage so that each speaker would be incorporated as well as the audience and their reactions while being immersed in stories and experiences. Not only did we film the talks, we also focused on all scenes related to the show, for example, the chef preparing food, the control room and the green room. Each talk inspired us to think about real issues at hand or something we all face at some point in our lives and ways of undertaking it and learning from there.
If you want to experience the aftermovie, take a look yourself. For the optimal experience, please use a cardboard. The after-movie can be found here!

We believe that an excellent quality of life should be available to everyone. Vestner strives to make a difference in individual lives and add value to society by providing specialised access solutions.
We are committed to offering the best accessibility options for both commercial and residential settings. Our dedication has helped us become New Zealand's leading designer, manufacturer, installer and exporter of platform lifts and elevators – a fact we are very proud of!
We look forward to establishing a relationship with you. We understand that choosing the platform lift, elevator or stair lift for your own situation can feel overwhelming – we're here to make the process easier. When you choose Vestner, you can be assured of enthusiastic and dedicated attention to your individual requirements.
On the 1st August 2015, Vestner NZ Limited purchased the assets and successful lift business of Pandect Ltd. Vestner was originally founded in Munich, Germany in the 1930's with the production of steam driven rope elevators and has remained a family run business since that time.
With a strong desire to enter the Pacific/Asia region Vestner indentified Pandect as having similar philosophies to Vestner; a reputation both in New Zealand and Australia of quality service provision and innovative products for access solutions. Vestner will continue to design and manufacture products in Christchurch developing the Pandect brand and its products under the Vestner 'umbrella'.
Pandect itself was founded over 30 years ago in Christchurch, became a trusted name in access solutions and developed to be known as the platform lift specialist for New Zealand. This position, allowed Pandect to establish very strong relationships with health authorities, local councils, education providers, health professionals, architects, construction companies, project managers and the wider community who used the products daily.
Vestner NZ Limited now holds tender rights to supply the greater health sector, which serves as a testament to the Pandect brand of lifts being safe, durable, cost effective and suitable products for clients with disabilities. This is also evidenced by Pandect lift having a very strong focus on compliance with National and International Standards and disability requirements..
Lifemark is a certification standard that embraces intelligent design concepts that make living easy – no matter the ability or capabilities of the person living or working within a particular home or premises.
"Lifemark's aim is to influence the design of housing so that a greater proportion of new homes built will be suitable for older people and people with disabilities to live in for a longer period of time."
With Vestner obtaining Product Partner status, it ultimately provides reassurance for builders, designers, specifiers and developers that our products have been designed to meet the needs of people, no matter what their age, stage or ability.
In order to be accredited with Product Partner status, products must meet strong and innovative criteria and are aligned with the Universal Design Principles. The Pandect brand of lift options have met these criteria and you can be assured that our products are designed appropriately to ensure that the key five universal principles of adaptability, accessibility, usability, safety and lifetime value are at the forefront of our design (and application).
Our mission is to be an expert team who are passionate about tangibly improving quality of life by providing access solutions that empower people and enrich the environment.
Our core values are:
Quality: Delivering a top quality product with service that endeavours to exceed expectations.
Integrity: Commitment to acting with honesty and honour without compromising the truth and to taking responsibility for our actions. Take pride in all we do.
Team work: People matter. The collective use of ourstrengths and abilities results in an outcome that is satisfying for everyone.
Innovation: We always want to be growing, developing and improving as individuals, as a team and in pursuing new and creative innovations within our products.
The EASIE Living and Demonstration Centre based in Palmerston North helps those with disabilities and those who are ageing in our communities to access the latest products and information to help them lead fuller, more productive lives by showcasing what's possible.
An exciting and innovative accessible smart home provides visitors with a kinesthetic and tactile experience, where they can test low and hi-tech living options including a Vestner low rise platform lift and a stair lift.
Vestner's support in providing products for people to see and experience at the Easie Living and Demonstration Centre is testament to our commitment to provide NZ with the best lift products available.

Hansel and Gretel by The Brothers Grimm, reimagined by Clive Hicks-Jenkins (Random Spectacular RS010, St Jude's, 2016)
Introduced by Clive Hicks-Jenkins
When growing up in the 1950s, my home, though full of books and music, had little on the walls that might be defined as art. There were mirrors and wall-lamps, and even pictures – if you include the rather unlikely though jaunty wallpaper of palm trees and desert islands that decorated our back parlour. But there were no paintings. So looking back, I begin to realise that my earliest experiences of the world as expressed in images, were through the pages of my childhood books.
The ones that stuck fast and have stayed with me over the years, are the Rupert Bear and Toby Twirl annuals. I learned to read on my father's lap as he helped me make sense of the words under the pictures showing Rupert's adventures with his pals. The speed with which I progressed was entirely down to wanting to know what happened next in the stories!
The bucolic loveliness depicted by the illustrators of Rupert's and Toby's worlds, was simultaneously observed from life and imagined. Observed with enough tenderness and precision for me to recognise types of rural settings – my father was a way-leaves officer for the South Wales Electricity Board and often took me with him on field trips – and yet subtly different enough to open up imagination. The pine forests of the Rupert books were exactly like those I'd visited with my father, though with the added allure of being portals to other, more exciting realms, accessed by the simple means of climbing the trees, just as Jack had clambered up a beanstalk to find himself somewhere unexpected.
Both the boy bear and the boy pig had the freedom to scamper about on their own business, and both were secure in the knowledge that 'mum' would have tea on the table when they returned, no matter how outlandish their adventures out of range of parental disapproval. I lived in the annuals, and later in the comics of my day, and after those in books that had no illustrations, excepting for those on their covers. Illustrations led me gently, naturally, persuasively to literature.
Landscape for me has always been where I've retreated to recover myself. So when my life in the theatre became too chaotic to endure, I bolted to the countryside. It was the natural place of healing, and it was where I took up brushes and began to translate my out-of-control feelings, into the painted worlds I felt safer in.
I see now, though didn't at the time, that the sense of comfort and balance I was trying to recapture, had its roots in those early experiences of discovering the world through the illustrations of Alfred Bestall, Sheila Hodgetts and others. And later, after I moved from landscape painting to explore further options, I came to understand enough of where my emotional responses to landscape had originated, to be able to reference the books of my childhood in paintings that openly acknowledged them. My Dream Farm is one of them.
Perceived divisions between art and illustration are ones I've come to disregard. For me, the two are the same. There's good and bad that flows from easel painters (for want of a better definition) and illustrators alike. The banal is bad regardless of whether found between the covers of a book or on the walls of a gallery, while the great is always illuminating, whether springing from the pens and brushes of Potter and Sendak, or from Hockney at his most sublime and painterly. (A man who excels at everything.) High and low are definitions I'm unmoved by. There is only excellence, and it all comes from the same source.
My picture book, Hansel and Gretel, is published next month. It has taken a long time to make a book that has its roots so firmly in what I grew to love and trust as a child. The last page bears this text:
Clive Hicks-Jenkins is a painter who occasionally makes images for the covers of novels, poetry collections and plays. He has always wanted to make a picture book, and this is it.

Battle Rattle, a Military Times blog, has an important dispatch from the front lines, which they wanted us to share with you. So often we forget about the sacrifices our troops abroad make to protect this nation's freedom. Sacrifices like sphincter clenching.
So here's the news: audible farting has been banned for some Marines downrange because it offends the Afghans.
I know there are many things in the Afghan culture that don't seem normal to Americans and it's hard to spend seven months working in someone else's back yard. Still, the Marines I saw downrange are doing a pretty good job at trying to do the right thing around the Afghans.
But farting? That's practically a sport. Ok, it's not soccer, but a good contest could open the door for cross-cultural exchanges, jokes and other gallows humor.
Now you know the hell of war.
For Marines in Afghanistan: be careful where you fart [Military Times]

It's always fun to listen to radio when on the move. However listening to local radio can get boring as the variety of songs that you hear is quite limited. Moreover you have no control over what type of music they play on FM radio stations. Since everyone has a smartphone these days why not listen to some online radio on them. Online radios have gained much acclaim by desktop users, but not until smartphone became common that online radio has become available on phones.
Here is a list of top 5 online radio apps available on Android and iOS:
1. Jango
Jango is a great online radio service with its USP being as completely customizable free online radio. The user has complete control over what kind of music does he/she want to hear. The app allows you to choose your favourite artist to begin with and listen to other bands/artists of the same or related genre. You can even select the amount of variety you want to hear and also skip songs. You can create and save your own custom channels and access them whenever you want. You can make a song play more number of times on a station by clicking on like button where as not play a song ever again by pressing the dislike button. There is also an option of preset stations by genre if you're to bored to fine tune your own station. This app gives great seamless streaming even on 2G speeds, so you will never experience lag.
For android download here and for iOS download here.
Pandora has been around the online radio scene for a very long time. It has gained a lot of popularity among music lovers. It is similar to Jango in terms of it's functionality. You choose your favourite artist and then the app gives you songs of similar artists/bands. Pandora also displays the lyrics of the song currently playing, which is an added advantage. This app is also free. However a major drawback with this app is that it isn't available for download in all regions. So not everyone can enjoy it's services. This is the only thing working against it. Also on slower networks it gives a laggy sound.
For Android downloaded here and for iOS download here.
Like other two apps Tune in radio features customization. However the biggest edge that it's got is having the ability to record live radio. You can rewind, pause, forward songs on live radio. You can search for your favourite station on the entire world. This app also lets you listen to news, TED talks, sports, etc. other than music. So this is an all in one app. You can also set an alarm in this app to wake you up with your favourite radio station. This app comes with both free and pro versions.
The free version for Android can be downloaded from here and for iOS download from here.
The pro version for Android can be downloaded from here and for iOS download from here.

What Would Jesus Do?
Atrios and Digby wonder where all our leaders who profess to be people of faith are with regard to torture, both Democrat (Obama) and Republican (Lieberman). The question proceeds from an assumption that people of faith should naturally be against this sort of thing, but as a Pew report tells us, it is the secularists and not the Christians who are most likely to be appalled.
On the whole torture doesn't poll so strongly — might this have something to do with the failure of so many on both sides of the aisle to stand up to St. John McCain? (One has to wonder at the logic of the '08 hopefuls who are too timid to stand up to him now, and expect that we somehow won't remember that their nerve crumbled when it really mattered. A little demonstrable leadership would be nice).
But surprisingly (or not, as your perspective might dictate) people who identify themselves as Christians seem to be more enthusiastic about the whole idea of torture than their secular fellows.
If you combine those Christians who think torture is either never or only rarely acceptable, you have 42 percent of Catholics and 49 percent of white Protestants. The comparable statistic of those who are decribed as "secular," which I presume means agnostic or atheist, is 57 percent opposition. In other words, if you are an American Christian, you are more likely to support torture than if you are an atheist or agnostic. Christians for torture: it's a new constituency. Another part of the Bush legacy.
Until such time as someone decides it's time to legalize pedophelia and opposition to the bill surveys like shit, I like to think we've hit the wall when it comes to gifting one's conscience to the pollsters and being led around by the nose by the religious right.
As Atrios suggests, it certainly would be nice to see Barak Obama stand on the floor of the Senate and give one of those rousing faith-based speeches he is so famous for; such leadership would certainly blunt his own critique of Democrats that they are a bunch of godless heathens and hostile to religion. As Digby always says, it's time to stop the Biden-esque exhortations about what Democrats should and shouldn't be doing and actually do it.

Social Media Recruiting: It's a Tool, Not a Strategy
I came across a very insightful blog post by Greg Savage (CEO of Aquent International) with regards to recruiting and social media (I felt compelled to mention it here since I recently posted on the topic of the flip side of the spectrum).
Even if you are not in the staffing industry, the overall takeaway of the article (maximizing social media as a networking tool while not overlooking essential utilization of core recruiting skills: making a human connection and being able to influence, negotiate, etc.) is applicable to anyone in a business where developing relationships and networking is crucial to succeeding.
