When I was a kid I had an uncle who told me that there are two things in life that will always be free. That's sex and water. It might not be the cleanest water and might not be the best sex but you can always find it somewhere for free. I prefer to drink bottled water so I am paying for water and everyone knows that if you are in a relationship you are always paying for sex in some form.
It is true that you can get sex and water free today but a lot of prefer to pay for it. Just like porn you can find it free everywhere you look. It might not be the bet porn but you can definitely find it for free. I browse the free sections of porn sites often. With virtual reality porn still pretty much being in it's infancy you can find some of it free but most of it you will have to pay for.
The studios that are making your favorite vr porn have costs that regular porn do not have and still need to be offsetted by charging a fee. Majority of these vr porn sites memberships cost less than $20 a month. My teenage kids cost me more than that each time we go out to eat at a restaurant. What is nice about some of these sites is that they operate more than just vr porn sites so if you are in a hurry and do not want to use your headset you can still enjoy tons and tons of regular porn.
CzechVR offers nearly 400 vr porn videos to watch and also gives you access to all of the other porn websites that they offer. We all have heard of the great porn offered by Club Seventeen. Now they are trying there hand at vr porn as well. They do not have quite the collection of vr videos to choose from yet but when you sign up with them you also get access to all of their other great websites as well like the club seventeen website.
Vrtagteam.com is geared to only threesomes and up. If you like to have fun with more people this website is for you. Vrteenrs.com is all about the teens making your fantasies come true in virtual reality. If you join either one of these sites you also get access to over 9800 regular porn videos that you can utilize when you are in the mood to watch some regular porn.
Many of the vr porn studios are turning out 2 new videos every week to keep up with the demand. Hotels will be adding vr porn to their lineup of added services. You can watch virtual reality porn on the PS4. When it comes down to it you can watch porn anywhere and everywhere. It's like "Green Eggs and Ham" when it comes to porn. I will watch it with a fox, I will watch it on a box, I will watch porn everywhere.
Sure I am guilty of watching free porn when I need to get my business done really quick but even then it takes me a while to find the right clip and I have to really enjoy it for it to work. Majority of us who watch porn have a niche that works for us and that is what we end up searching for everytime in the end. When you are paying for porn you able to get straight to the nitty gritty right away. With the increase of gay and trans porn why wade through all of the straight porn when you know what you want. Into cosplay why not head right over to vrcosplayx.com to get fulfill your needs. Yes there is an abundance of free porn out but to get what you really want sometimes it's worth paying for it. Should you still be paying for porn in 2018? That is a good question to ask.

The communications and engineering company ikeGPS Ltd (NZX & ASX: IKE) has seen a big life in financial and marketing performance, with the US communications and electric utilities market a prime catalyst.
For the first half of FY19 the company had revenue of $4.4 million, which was 26% higher than the corresponding FY18 half.
The company said it had a positive contribution from its IKE Analyze Solution revenue that offers an end-to-end technical solution to customers performing make-ready engineering projects.
The half year report showed there was a gross margin in the period which represented a 93% growth on the first half of last year.
However, as had been projected there was a net loss for the half of $1.9 M, an improvement on the FY18 first half loss of $3.9 M. Cash on hand was about $5.4 M and receivables were about $2.5 M.
IkeGPS chief executive Glenn Milnes said: "Through 1H FY19 we were pleased to make further progress in the North American poles market targeting communications companies & electric utilities.
"Most notably for shareholders we have seen growth of sales, and substantial growth of pipeline opportunities, for the new IKE Analyze offering.
"IKE Analyze utilises our cloud-based pole software so to ingest customers raw field data and enable IKE to complete the required asset analysis via our cloud platform, such as pole loading analysis or make-ready-engineering to speed network builds."
Milnes said the company views IKE Analyze as an important potential additive growth engine over the coming years.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Illuminator
I've been eyeing the Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Illuminator from afar so very pleased to have one now to review. This is coming up in Beauty Bay's Best of The USA Box launching on 4th July (£58) along with other cult US brands. The boxes are split into two – LA or Miami and the Riviera shade is in the Miami Box.
As you can see, this is a hyper-glow – absolutely packed with light and metallic elements. It's also rather hard to pin down the shade, because in some lights it looks golden bronze and in others it appears lighter. The main picture is the most accurate representation, but I took these pictures on different days – the main picture in bright sun and the rest with no sun. I'm glad I did because it does show how changeable these glow powders can be.
What's not in any doubt is the extreme sheen this throw off. Obviously, it's swatched at intensity here, so you're unlikely to ever wear it at this strength on your face (are you?!!!) but it's incredibly light catchy. I'm going to try this on my lids – I just want to see what happens.
Each Beauty Bay box contains 8 products and has a value of £84, so if you want to try some of the US brands such as Coloured Raine, Gerard and Makeup Geek, which Beauty Bay are really hot on and often the only UK stockists, hold tight til the 4th. Otherwise, Cult Beauty has the Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Illuminator for £28 HERE. I've also just spotted Caroline's latest Cult Box HERE. And.. Cult has 15% off all orders with code BIRTHDAY.

Past papers have multiple benefits. Through past papers students are able to understand, practice, revise and hence grasp the pattern of the Question Papers of their respective boards. Through past papers, students also come to know about the yearly changes in the questionnaires of their respective boards. And when a student not only knows about the question pattern and the important questions on one hand and he also learns, revises and practices them on the other then there would not be any gainsaying in claiming his splendid success.
Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) of Balochistan aims at to conduct papers across Balochistan province. Here, on this digital platform, students would get all their 9th Class Past Papers of BISE Quetta Board. Here we aim at to help the student meet their needs at their doorstep by using the digisoft technology of the internet.

Ohh jeez, Barth thanking San Degiuto water district for doing their jobs!!! Tyler Technologies' student details technique brought on the Fort Worth Independent College District to acquire practically $40 million in overpayments from the state, according to a statement released by the district. In response, Tyler said in a statement that it has not been notified by the district of any computer software development problems. It also transitioned to one more vendor, Florida-based Focus, last year for its student details program, but nonetheless utilizes Tyler Technologies' Munis economic management computer software. This is not the 1st time Tyler Technologies reportedly has received complaints about its software program.
Tyler Technologies client base consists of 11,000 local government agencies across the nation, in Canada, the Caribbean and the United Kingdom. Ensures that all Tyler team members completely realize their respective roles and responsibilities on the project. Performs with the Tyler Regional Manager and PMO to make sure resource wants are adequately supported and future requirements incorporated in formal strategy. Manages project group performance and offers feedback to other Tyler leads for use in performance evaluations.
ERP Software program Implementation background with Tyler Technologies application, Munis preferred, or items like: Oracle Financials, PeopleSoft, SAP, MicroSoft Dynamics/Great Plains, JD Edwards, New Planet or Lawson. If you have been eligible to this occupation, please provide us your resume, with salary requirements and a resume to Tyler Technologies. We have to commence assisting our makers and begin bringing jobs back from overseas.
With investors punishing companies — frequently far too severely — for even the smallest unexpected comment, this was a sturdy factor in my recommending in 1 of my newsletters that we take earnings in Tyler Technologies, Inc. Tyler reported fourth-quarter earnings in the beginning of February, which was a very good catalyst for a nice upward swing. Neighborhood governments are in desperate need of new software, and Tyler Technologies has just the solution.
Monday's early-morning strength pushed the stock to the upper finish of its channel, and I suspected it would continue trading nervously ahead of its earnings report. Robust revenue growth, expanding margins, and high visibility/stability all make Tyler a excellent enterprise story. Tyler gives each SaaS and on-premise possibilities but, unsurprisingly, is focused on shifting consumers onto the SaaS model. Tyler estimates that there are more than 500,000 regional government software program systems getting used in the United States (because every nearby government utilizes several systems).

While we stayed outside the city, it was only a short train ride into the main train station. Lisbon is a beautiful city, built on a number of hills. If you are feeling energetic you can walk the city, otherwise there are multiple ways to get around. The most iconic are definitely the old trams and funiculars that wind there way through the cobbled streets. Whether you pay or not, is up to you.

After my blog post on Monday I have had an outpouring of love and support from so many people. I wanted to use this post to say thank you, for your likes, your messages and more blog follows (nearly 150 now, eek!). I think that it's an important part of getting better if you, like me, have been living with depression for a long time or if you've just entered this part of the roller coster. Support really is everything in getting better and I couldn't do it without the people around me understanding that sometimes I'll be stressed about little or nothing, sometimes I'll cry for days and not know why and sometimes I need to be a little selfish and there for myself more than anyone else.
The whole thing of 1 in 4 people, it's so much more apparent to me at the moment but it's not something you can see. You best friend could be depressed, it doesn't mean you'll know because you get good at hiding your feelings or avoiding situations where other people can see that something is wrong. I've done both and sometimes I still do because that's just a part of this illness. I'm not going to rant and say it's horrible, it's unfair, it sucks. This is just something I have to live with and learn to deal with in my daily life.
I wanted to let you know I am going to be ok! I might be up and down and all over the place and I might not be super happy but being 'Ok' will do for now. I think I actually appreciate feeling happy more than other people, being happy makes me feel even better I can take over the world in a good mood. I'll learn to deal with this but the support I've had over the last few days has made me feel better, I'm still very up and down but it helps.
Thank you to all of you

Do you have a Thomas the Train enthusiast in your house? Both of my boys were big fans and we read many of the little books, watched the films and owned lots of the toy train cars. Several of my grandsons love Thomas, James and Percy just as much 20 years later.
The original stories were written by Wilbert Awdry, a Reverend in the Anglican faith. Reverend Awdry grew up near trains in England and loved them all his life. When his young son Christopher was ill with the measles, Rev. Awdry entertained him with train stories, and Thomas and his many friends were born!
Thomas the Tank Engine contains all of the original 26 stories written by Rev. Awdry. They include chapters called Thomas the Tank Engine, James the Red Engine, The Little Old Engine and Enterprising Engines. I love finding out which of the stories and characters we are familiar with were original to a series. I think your children will enjoy that too! Terrific old-time illustrations too!

Go 2 Guy: So much is different, but Cameron's smile is the same
PEORIA, Ariz. -- On a list of the of most popular Mariners ever, Mike Cameron ranks in the top 20, probably top 10, maybe even top five.
He is two teams removed from them now but back at the same spring-training complex, just across the parking lot with the San Diego Padres.
The afternoon I caught up with him, Cameron was shagging flies in center field, carrying a bag of bats to the clubhouse, signing autographs and posing for pictures. Interestingly, the right-handed Cameron signs left-handed.
Waiting for him to finish, I'm standing with the impatient, fidgety Go 2 Girl, who's contemplating more important things in her world, like when are we going to leave.
"What's goin' on, Go 2 Guy!" Cameron said, his smile brighter than the day. A few minutes later, I meet up with him in the Padres' clubhouse and find Cameron to be reflective, optimistic, excited and friendly as always.
Last seen in a baseball game, Cameron was playing right field for the Mets and taken off the field on a stretcher after colliding with center fielder Carlos Beltran on Aug. 11.
Replayed over and over again, it was so horrific you couldn't look anymore -- Cameron broke his nose and both cheekbones and suffered a mild concussion. Cameron has seen it five or six times, and that's enough.
He initially had trouble breathing, couldn't talk for two or three days because of the swelling in his face, and everything went numb. Then he had surgery and a few months later, oh, by the way, we've traded you to the Padres, the Mets told him.
For Cameron, this is a good thing. With Beltran in New York, he was never going to play center field again, his natural position.
"Right field was a difficult challenge for me," he said. "People kind of laughed, but you've got to deal with sun in right field, and the lights are in your face. My craft and forte were honed in center field. It's what I've done forever. There is a difference."
Cameron thinks it's one of the reasons he got hurt -- even as a right fielder, he has a center fielder's mindset and thinks every ball he can get to is his. In this instance, "I got it!" turned ugly.
Although Cameron passed medical and eye exams to assure the Padres before the trade was made in November, you wonder whether the Mets thought of him as damaged goods and also wonder if he will ever be the same player again.
That's a lot of wondering, but none of it comes from Cameron, who won't know for sure until the season starts but insists he doesn't think about it unless asked and feels completely recovered.
He looks it, too. Cameron arrived at 200 pounds, 10 pounds lighter than usual, wanting to capitalize on his speed and steal at least 30 bases this year.
His face shows no signs of extensive surgery, though there are nine plates and screws holding bones together. When he raises his brow, you can see a protrusion above his right eye from an imbedded plate. His upper lip and top gum still are numb.
"I'm good, though," he said. "Everything's good."
But it's never been quite like Seattle, probably never will. Asked about his years there for the umpteenth time, Cameron doesn't mind reminiscing. He was an All-Star and a Gold Glove winner who played for a great team.
"It was special, man," he said. "It's always going to be special. I had a kid there, my family loved it there. They didn't want to leave. Seattle, I kind of grew up there.
"I (sometimes) think: 'Maybe if we had kept it together for one more year, we could have had the same kind of run' "
During his second day at camp last week, Cameron went to the Mariners' clubhouse to say hello to his former teammates -- though there aren't many left. Cameron was hard-pressed to name them, finally coming up with Jamie Moyer, Ichiro Suzuki, Joel Pineiro and Willie Bloomquist. He has been somewhat surprised by the team's struggles when success was all he knew in Seattle.
Now 33, Cameron looks forward to roaming center field again, though he finds it strange to return to Petco Park, where his face and career were rearranged last August.
It also means Cameron will be back in even more familiar territory when the Padres play a three-game series at Safeco Field, starting on May 19. He was out with a leg injury last year when the Mets visited.
"That," he said, "will be nice."
As is this opportunity to play again and have his health again. Cameron never took his occupation for granted, but he has a greater appreciation now, calling every day "precious."
Asked if he had statistical goals, Cameron said he did, but avoiding injuries was more important.
"Having a uniform with your name on the back of it can be taken away like that," he said.

The man is thought to have taken 'green tablets with an Adidas logo on them'
One man has died and four other individuals have been hospitalised following suspected drug use at Kendal Calling festival in Cumbria.
According to The Guardian, Cumbria police officials have confirmed the death of an unnamed man. Police are thought to have been called to the Cumberland infirmary just before 7am on Friday morning (July 31), with the festival-goer pronounced dead.
A woman from Bolton is said to be in a critical but stable condition, with three men in a serious but stable condition.
The Guardian says that the individuals are thought to have taken "green tablets with an Adidas logo on them".
A spokesperson for Cumbria police said: "Emergency services are currently dealing with an incident where five people have taken ill following believed substance abuse at the Kendal Calling festival".
"An investigation has commenced into the circumstances surrounding his [the man's] death. Police are supporting the deceased's family at this time."
The festival have issued a warning following the incident, tweeting: "There have been serious drug related casualties requiring hospital treatment. Please take extra care – illegal drugs have unknown contents."
Kendal Calling takes place this year from July 30-August 2, with the likes of Elbow, Kaiser Chiefs, Snoop Dogg, The Vaccines and more performing.

Airline travel tips5:34
Scott McCartney on Lunch Break shares his favorite simple travel tips when flying. WSJ
HMMM, about my last flight ...
Actor Rob Lowe, who has starred in movies such as About Last Night ... (alongside Demi Moore), along with television shows including The West Wing, has taken to Twitter to give his followers the "lowe-down" on a rather underwhelming flight.
Lowe was on-board Air Canada's low-cost subsidiary carrier Rouge yesterday, which has been generally poorly received by travellers, according to reviews.
Air Canada Rouge was launched last July and will be expanded to 54 routes, including services to Europe from Montreal and Toronto. It's expected the airline will have 650 crew members by the end of the year when its fleet nearly doubles to 33 planes.
The actor took issue particularly with the airline's cramped seats and the crew's rather unusual uniforms.
He was particularly baffled over their hats.
We see what you mean, Rob! Here are some photos of the crew's uniforms.
And here's JT - pictured before the singer turned his focus away from hats and instead to Suit & Ties:
Lowe also claims the outfits are a tad Prince-esque, too!
He's not the only one who's less than thrilled about the redesign, fellow passengers have already been tweeting their discontent ...
An Air Canada rouge spokesperson told news.com.au that Rob Lowe travelled in their Premium rouge cabin for his flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles and they welcome any feedback.
And apparently the hats are extremely popular with passengers: "Our crew do indeed wear grey trilby hats as part of their uniform – which he also commented on – hats that are so popular that many customers ask us onboard if they can buy them."

Due to differences in printing techniques, machine types, ink manufacturers and a host of other variables, we never promise an exact match to any particular colour. However, there are a number of methods we employ to control colour and to give you a result we believe you will be very happy with.
One method is for us both to agree on Pantone colours in which to print your job. Pantone is an international colour matching system supported by almost all printing firms and many desktop design programmes. If you specify a Pantone colour for a job we will be able to produce a good match to it, although we cannot guarantee a perfect match as we will be reproducing this colour from four colours (cyan, magenta, yellow and black).
We will always send an electronic proof of your artwork before printing which for most clients is sufficient. Colours do look different on monitors (and between monitors) to the way they do on paper and because of this we can, at your request, send you a printed proof for your final approval.
To summarise, if it is very important to you to get a close match to a particular colour then we will be able to help you, especially if you are choosing Pantone colours.

There was a lot of controversy surrounding this film on the subject of whether it glorified Eating Disorders. So, I wanted to watch the film and decide for myself whether the criticism it was receiving was justified- and also, I wanted to see if it was a good film. Here is what I thought:
Firstly, in my completely subjective and non-ED suffering point of view, I do not believe that 'To the Bone' glorifies Eating Disorders in any way. As I watched the film, I found myself confronted by the harsh realities of living with an Eating Disorder. In my opinion, the film showed the absolute harsh and brutal reality of living with an ED and how it effects those around you. In fact, as a person who doesn't really know much about Eating Disorders, the film was extremely informative. It showed me that EDs don't discriminate by age, race, gender, sex and sexuality. Therefore, I think it is a great example of why films that tackle this issue must be made and shown more often.
Regarding the plot, I have to say that it was nothing extradinary as nothing really happened. It basically just followed Eli/Ellen (Lily Collins) as she takes part in Dr. Beckham (Keanu Reeves) inpatient program designed to help her and people like her overcome their ED.
Without a doubt, I have to say that the film was well acted with Lily Collins and Keanu Reeves being the standout performers. Watching Lily play Ellen/Eli, I really did see the struggle of living with an ED whilst watching Keanu, I did really feel like he was this caring no nonsense doctor who wanted to see his patients get better and live.
However, one of the things that partially spoiled my enjoyment was the romance between Luke (Alex Sharp) and Eli/Ellen. I feel like the main focus in this film should have been the Eli's recovery not this unnecessary romance. Furthermore, I really didn't like when he asked her to stay because he needed her. I feel like that was too much pressure to place on someone who was going through their own stuff and was clearly spiralling. In addition, the bottle feeding scene was super weird and took me out of the film a little bit. It just felt really random and out of place but maybe it just me lol.
And one last thing, I really didn't like the bit where they lied about having cancer in order to get the waitress to serve them alcohol. (A bit random I know). I feel like that was a bit selfish as that woman could have lost her job because of it. To manipulate her in that way was not funny and not necessary.
To conclude, whilst the film tackled many important issues and tackled them well, the film itself was nothing remarkable or groundbreaking. That's not say it was awful, so in terms of ratings I would give it 3/5 stars
So what did you think of the film? And in your opinion, does it glorify Eating Disorders? Write your thoughts in a comment ! 🙂<<<<<

Eighteen people have been killed and 25 wounded in a suicide bombing in Somalia.
Police captain Mohamed Hussein said the powerful explosion, thought to be from a car bomb, tore through shops and food stands in Mogadishu's Madina district on Sunday.
He said many of the wounded suffered horrific wounds. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the blast.
However, Somalia's homegrown Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, often carry out such attacks.
Despite being ousted from large parts of south and central Somalia, al-Shabab continues to carry out guerrilla attacks in this Horn of Africa nation.
Earlier on Sunday it was reported that the group had vowed to continue fighting the Somali government and opposed the election of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome vs. depression: one doctor's view
Thursday 22 December 2011
From About.com's Adrienne Dellwo:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome vs. Depression: One Doctor's View
For decades, people with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) have battled the misconception that they were "just depressed." Many doctors and a large chunk of the general public believe that myth - in spite of a wealth of research showing numerous physiological abnormalities across multiple systems.
In a recent comment here, a doctor (obviously one of the good ones!) left a comment that really rung true with me and I think is the best description I've ever seen of the difference in mentality between depression and ME/CFS:
"In my years of practice I have seen hundreds of pain sufferers with depressed mood, but only a couple of patients with true clinical depression. One of the features of true depression is anergy or the lack of desire to do anything (it is very difficult to put this in words). Another feature of clinical depression is "social apathy" or having no desire to participate in social activities. These features are exceedingly rare in people suffering from all types of chronic pain and/or ME. Indeed, ME sufferers uniformly have an unabashed yearning to be able to DO things, to participate in life!" - Doc ForthePeople
I really think the doctor summed it up perfectly. In the 4 years I've been hearing personal stories about ME/CFS, I've come across a lot of people who say they miss the things they used to do, that it hurts them to stay home when everyone else is off having fun, or perhaps that they've given up trying to participate because they pay so dearly afterward. However, I just don't hear people say that they don't want to do things anymore.
Certainly, some people with ME/CFS become depressed. That's true of every single chronic, debilitating illness out there. When illness hits you out of the blue, derails your life, takes away myriad things that you love and that provide you with a sense of worth, and leaves you miserable and disabled ... um, yeah. It's depressing! Depression is a major issue in cancer and no one blames the tumors on depression. Likewise, it's being falsely implicated in ME/CFS. The same logic applies to fibromyalgia.
I've seen the difference first hand. I have fibromyalgia and a close family member has severe depression. Early in my illness, I spent a large portion of my flagging energy researching my illness, trying different treatments and working to figure out what I needed to do to get better. That was in spite of searing pain, intense fatigue and thick brain fog.
My relative, by contrast, laid in bed. She wouldn't read the information other people sought out for her, she wouldn't keep her counseling appointments, and she wouldn't take her prescription meds. She frequently made statements such as, "Nothing's going to work. I just have to accept that I'm going to be this way forever." And that was before she'd given anything a chance to work.
From the outside, she and I look fairly similar. We were both mothers and successful professionals who quit our jobs and withdrew from nearly everything we used to do. We both had pain, fatigue and cognitive dysfunction. But on the inside, we're different because our illnesses are different.
Do you agree with the doctor's view of the differences? Have you faced the myth of your illness being "just depression"? How has [it] impacted you?

Yesterday afternoon, it warmed up enough that I thought we might be able to squeeze one more beach day in today, if it stayed warm. And it did! Yay! So, we loaded up the collies and Billie and off to the (private, grassy) beach we went!
We ran the stink out of the collies then got Billie out to play and have a little photo shoot! I've got a friend who is going to edit some of the pictures to see if she can get them to look nicer, and although we took nearly 100, only about 30 or so are any good. Such is life. Shauna will have a much better time with the photos, once she's done the agility-madness-week!

Doctor Death
A lover of music and a concert-level violinist, Sidereal Taurus Jack Kevorkian was a happy soldier in the war against the laws that interfere with our right to die was we want, not spread eagled on a bed of pain, tortured by infirmity, demented by drugs and robbed of our humanity.
Jack Kevorkian and James Arness, both born five years apart on May 26, can serve to help us understand the Taurus extremes. Kevorkian had both Sun and Mercury in Taurus and a Moon in Leo. He couldn't mentally or emotionally handle the idea of a death without dignity. With all his aggression actually sublimated into helping people, Mars in Pisces, he was a very sensitive person, although his detractors would characterize him as the typical Taurus vampire, ghoulishly tracking down suffering hospice patients in order to kill them. Kevorkian simply registered his sympathy for people in pain, diseased or crippled, those who hopelessly foresaw nothing worth living for. Kevorkian was forthright, unafraid of death, as the last bodily act we perform.
As with ALL Taurus, nothing about the body scared him, and he scoffed derisively at his critics, calling them hypocrites who were squeamishly avoiding as important a component of our life span as birth. Kevorkian also had little or no faith the medical industry's ability to deal with death or in the church's guarantee of an afterlife, much less in the politicians legislating against self-imposed death. He was a typical Taurus materialist existentialist, death was natural, inevitable, and nothing to get excited about. His stubborn nature made him the anathema of the starchy legal system that makes suicide illegal and the balky religious mindset that makes it immoral. He flouted all these forces, as much a rebel as Malcolm X in repudiating irrational authority with sharp logic and direct action, except he was fighting on behalf of those too sick or feeble to even seize the most basic human right of all: to end ones life with honor.
James Arness was a shy retiring Taurus, with a Virgo Moon that earned him the nickname of the "Greta Garbo of Dodge City." Acting more like a homeboy than the handsome Hollywood star he was, he married for keeps, was widowed, and then married again until his death. Arness portrayed himself; the classic stoic man-of-few-words, who stands his ground.
Arness showed another side of Taurus in his most famous role as the sturdy, stubborn Sheriff of Dodge city. He also had Taurus Sun and Mercury, but his Moon was in crafty, humble Virgo. The sextile of his Moon and Neptune made him a compassionate cop. He wanted to help. He volunteered for the army in 1943, at the height of World War Two, and was seriously wounded during the invasion of Italy. These wounds would eventually prevent him from riding a horse.
He lived to serve, as did his character, Marshall Matt Dillon, the only law West of the Pecos. Arness played his role with a quiet strength and dogged respect for the law at any cost. Sidereal Gemini Milbern Stone played the crusty, quixotic town doctor, fellow Sidereal Taurus Dennis Weaver played his sidekick and deputy. Weaver was replaced by another sidereal Gemini—Ken Curtis. Arness played out the Western myths as they filtered down to the common man and women on his weekly TV show, "Gunsmoke"—which played from 1955 to 1975, was one of the longest running TV shows in history. Gunsmoke avoided the usual shoot-em-ups common to most Westerns of the time, and instead, involved the tragedy of poverty, alienation and misery of dirt farmers and working-class cowboys. Gunsmoke tackled lynchings, domestic violence, and economic crime, something very few TV shows did in the 50s.
Embedded in the show was a remarkable—for the time—admission of relationship between the Marshall and a prostitute, the role played by Amanda Blake, a Sidereal Aquarius. The unspoken agreement between then two characters was another expression of the open attitude Taurus often has about sex and physical desire.

Studio: Grilled Pixels
Skills used: Branding, Consulting, Visual Design, UI / UX
The British Online Archives is an online hub for historic information which is useful to students and education institutions. I worked with the team behind the BOA to redesign the website and provide advice on the user journeys and general user experience.
When working with the BOA, I wanted to create a styleguide to help aid the development of the website as well as have it become a useful tool during the process.
I also briefly explored some ideas on a new identity as the BOA didn't exactly have one in place. I created some simple identities that could potentially solidify BOA as a recognisable brand. This one below was proposed, but may or may not be used.
Working with the people behind BOA, I took the responsibility of converting their wireframes and turning them into a visual design and worked on several iterations to find better solutions throughout the process. See below for the final output.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed working with the team behind the British Online Archives, doing all the visual design and communicating different ideas to try and improve UX for the many pages I created. Looking forward for this website to go live, I'll update this page as soon as it does.

Self storage is set to undergo many changes in 2018 and beyond. Back in 2015, industry revenue was projected to exceed $30 billion. According to these same forecasts, growth would continue at a rate of roughly 3 percent through 2020. This year has seen moderate revenue growth. Current forecasts call for growth of 3 to 5 percent in revenue increase by year's end.
As our industry outlook remains positive. A series of significant developments in the first quarter of this year will contribute to my industry's growth. Briefly, here are some trends in self storage:
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the like are redefining the landscape for many industries. Self storage is gradually becoming less of a stranger to its benefits.

Defenders of marriage are genuinely distressed and traumatized by the ridicule, name calling, bullying, hating etc. from the gay community. They want a vote on this to put it to rest once for all. Only a people's vote can do that fairly.
It seems everyone in the media, and the authoritarian gay normalization movement to forcefully impose and enforce everything homosexual on our meek and cowed society, are worried about how the proponents of the changes to the definition of marriage may feel if people speak against their proposal during a plebiscite.
The argument from the Marxist left therefore is that we should not have a discussion about the proposal (which, lets face it is an unusual one by any standard) but should rather just quietly let the fully intimidated parliament ram it through.
Everyone goes on about gays being hurt. What about those who are hurt, offended, bullied, silenced, ridiculed, discriminated against, called names, shouted down and who are genuinely "distressed" by the rampant rise of militant homosexual rainbow politics in Australia?
Who afterall is proposing the change? The proposers should be required to justify why we should all suddenly believe that marriage can be between two men. Intimidating good society into silence is not helpful and will lead to worse things to come if they succeed with this tactic.
Every child comes from and needs BOTH a mother and a father. Same-sex "marriage" intentionally keeps either a mother or a father from the child. Government should protect the child through upholding traditional marriage.

What is the Odd Lot Theory
The odd lot theory is a technical analysis theory based on the assumption that the small individual investor trading odd lots is usually wrong. Therefore, if odd lot sales are up and small investors are selling a stock, it is probably a good time to buy. Vice versa, when odd lot buys are up the odd lot theory would indicate a good time to sell.
BREAKING DOWN Odd Lot Theory
The odd lot theory focuses on following activities of individual investors trading in odd lots. The theory was broadly considered in the 1950s and 1960s. It has since become less popular, after individual investors began investing more heavily in mutual funds and data studies in the 1990s showed little effectiveness in the implementation of the theory.
Odd Lot Trades
Technical analysts have the ability to follow the volume of odd lot trades through technical analysis charting software programs. Odd lot trades are trade orders made by investors that include less than 100 shares in the transaction or are not a multiple of 100. These trade orders generally encompass individual investors which the theory believes are less educated and influential in the market overall.
Round lots are the opposite of odd lots. They begin at 100 shares and are divisible by 100. These trade orders are seen to be more compelling as an indicator as they are typically made by professional traders or institutional investors. The odd lot theory infers that these investors can be more important to follow for trade signals since they are typically more educated with greater amounts of available insight for investment decisions.
Odd Lot Theory Assumptions
The odd lot theory uses the analysis of odd lot trades as its basis. It primarily focuses on trade orders of less than 100 shares. Its premise is built on the notion that odd lot trades can be counterintuitive to market trends. Therefore, believers in the odd lot theory seek to trade against the direction of odd lot trades. Thus, when odd lotters are buying shares the theory would indicate a signal to sell shares and vice versa.
Analysis of the odd lot theory, culminating in the 1990s, generally disproved its effectiveness. Discovering that individual investors are not generally prone to making bad investing decisions. Overall, the theory is no longer valid as many researchers and academics including Burton Malkiel have stated that the individual investor, also known as the odd lotter, is generally not as uninformed or as incorrect as the theory has stated.
In the current day environment many individual investors have moved to investing more heavily in mutual funds which alleviates the volumes of odd lot trades. Previous followers of the theory have become more indifferent to odd lot trades with most technical analysts placing more emphasis on overall volume indicators such as the Positive and Negative Volume Indexes that can be used to help spotlight institutional trading sentiment.

…the Goliaths among us, and the david within…
June 24, 2018
Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:(1a, 4-11, 19-23) 32-49
Today's scripture passage from 1 Samuel is one of the all-time best known and well-loved bible stories. It has been depicted in paintings that most likely adorn the wall somewhere in every Sunday School and even served as the backdrop to a children's morality TV show that used to air on Sunday mornings. And I suppose it is so popular because it is seen as both an affirmation of the goodness and strength of our God against all that is evil, as well as a bow to 'underdogs' everywhere. It is a story that has been referenced so many times it has become common idiomatic parlance for any conflict that pits a much stronger foe against a seemingly weaker one. We admire the courage and bravery of the young shepherd boy and marvel that he was able to vanquish the much stronger Goliath with such seeming good luck…and of course a good dose of heavenly blessing!
And yet, things always and everywhere come down to perceptions…the way we see things and what we think we are seeing. Things are just not always as they seem, sometimes they are worse than we imagine and sometimes they are not as bad as we may have feared. And, at the risk of disappointing many indeed it seems that this little story tucked away in the early part of the bible and early on in the history of the Israelites may also be suffering greatly due to some fairly significant misperceptions. Not that what the young David did wasn't amazing and historically significant for the Israelites, but rather in the fact that quite possibly Goliath never had a chance against him. Not because Goliath was ostensibly fighting against God…but for very different reasons altogether.
The author Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book in 2013 titled, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants. And in this book Gladwell offers a fascinating study regarding the characters in our particular story. Evidently there were three classes of military forces in those times, all of which had different abilities and all of which were strong and seemingly invincible as well as potentially quite vulnerable. There were those like Goliath who were heavily armored and did battle hand to hand in close quarters with sword, spear, and shield. Goliath was a giant among these armor-clad men and as an incredibly strong man he was greatly feared by any who had to take him on one on one.
A second type of military warrior depended on bows and arrows. These were able to inflict great harm on others from great distances, showering their foes with virtual torrents of razor sharp projectiles from a distance far enough away from those such as Goliath, even though their arrows were not as effective against any body part that was covered over with armor.
And the third class of military warrior included the 'slingers'…those who had perfected the art of hurling small stones great distances and with incredible accuracy with the use of a long string which had a small leather pouch in the middle of it. Winding the stone laden pouch around and around with increasing speed, an accomplished 'slinger' could send the projectile at lightning velocity with such accuracy that some were even able to hit birds in the air and strike mortal blows from a distance as great as two hundred yards. These too were able to fight from a safe distance away from the armored warriors, however they were vulnerable to those who could shower them with arrows as well.
And as we heard in our story, our shepherd boy David had long been a protector of his father's sheep, fending off lions and bears successfully up in the hills around Judea. As an accomplished slinger he was unafraid to go up against one such as Goliath even though his foe was heavily armored and of massive size and strength. And that was because David never intended to go one on one and hand to hand against Goliath for that would have been suicidal. In fact, King Saul's handlers tried to get David to wear Saul's armor but the young lad, strong as he was could not even move within the heavy metal suit.
And so David selected several small stones and along with his trusted sling set out to defend his God and his people against the boastful and arrogant giant in the valley. And as they say, the rest…is history. David loaded his sling and twirling it high over his head waited until just the right moment before releasing it and striking the surprised Goliath square in the forehead…one of the few places unprotected by his suit of heavy protective armor.
But that is not all as Gladwell points out, for not only was David refusing to fight on the terms Goliath and his supporters expected but there may have been another reason entirely unrelated to warfare or holiness which made this particular giant sure to be defeated. You may recall that David approached the opposite side of the battlefield with his sling and his shepherd's staff. And Goliath upon seeing the smallish boy standing before him contemptuously berated him and the Israelites asking why they would send out a boy against him with only 'sticks'. 'Sticks' he referenced, not the single staff David was actually carrying. And there are those who have surmised that in fact Goliath's huge stature was possibly due in part at least to a serious medical condition known as acromegaly which is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland causing both giant-ism and double vision! Goliath may not have even known he was up against a slinger until it was too late.
So what seemed like an impossible task at first was perhaps rigged against Goliath from the very start. This is not to take away from the courage and heart of the young David or to diminish in any way his devotion for and love of God, but rather to say that the strong and powerful are not always what they seem. And to assert as well that the seemingly weaker among us may still have a chance if we are asked to wage battle against a foe who we feel sure will vanquish us…if we are standing in the power of and grace of our Lord…and…if the stones we sling are truth and justice clad over with faith and love.
And I share this background to our scripture passage today because I feel that each of us in fact has been called to go up against a seemingly unbeatable foe…each of us is being asked to stand in David's sandals and to fearlessly go up against the 'giant' that is currently ravaging our nation, our faith, and our brothers and sisters everywhere. To be sure, this is a call I have shared before…a call to be unafraid and willing to seek first the righteousness and justice of our God in all we say and in all we do. Above all else we are called to focus on bringing about the justice of God through the living of a life of love in devout and unwavering service to the Holy Spirit. It is a call that bears the responsibility to stand up for justice and to advocate for any and all who suffer abuse or oppression. In fact, anything we see or hear of that works counter to Jesus' call for us to 'love one another' must be actively resisted and worked against by those who profess to follow him.
And I bring this notion of call up once again because I recently reached what was for me a 'tipping point' in terms of being able to stay silent regarding the state of our culture and society given the direction we seem to be heading in as a nation under the leadership of the current political administration across all three branches of government. And perhaps more importantly I also realized that I cannot expect you to stand for the truth if I am afraid or unwilling to myself.
When I first read today's passage I was intrigued by how it might play into my thinking, having previously become aware of Gladwell's arguments. And the confluence of the passage, the book, and the current state of affairs in our nation and in particular the immigrant crisis made me realize I could no longer stay a safe distance away from the issues that are literally tearing apart the fabric of our nation's purpose and morality as well as ripping apart the lives of innocent men, women, and children.
This crisis and the response of our government in first creating it and then refusing to take ownership of it before finally capitulating to the overwhelming and universal negative outcry by simply releasing the pressure temporarily with no plan in place to undo the deep harm already caused is just the latest in a long line of scandalous policies, words, and behaviors that have convinced me that we are in deeply dire straits and in need of a new and powerful word of deliverance from our God.
Which is not to say by any means that previous administrations did not have scandals of their own as many are quick to point out, for surely they did and surely there are still consequences redounding to those actions…however never before in our lifetime has there been such a concerted effort both to hijack the faith and, simultaneously to practice and justify the worst impulses humanity is capable of. Horrific impulses we have seen before, many of which we have been seeking to be healed of and delivered from since the middle of the last century or even in some cases much earlier than that.
Indeed power does corrupt and absolute power does tend to do worse…however absent the guardrails which the current administration has been so assiduously taking down or ignoring altogether there seems to be a real possibility that the current degradation of our society may be in some sense irreversible…and this deep illness and seeming lack of any compassion from the top down seems to be spreading all across our nation as well as to other countries around the globe…countries who may not have the innate ability to weather such a storm as well as we have.
But perhaps I am most disturbed by what seems to me to be the wholesale surrender of and total captivity of our faith in Jesus Christ by the power of the State. It appears that it has been a willing capitulation which at least in my opinion, has rendered it truly an abomination in the eyes of our Lord. And not unlike the calls in the book of Revelation not to conform to the cult of empire and to resist being seduced by power and authority, we too, who still believe the gospel must be newly and truthfully interpreted are being called in earnest by the Spirit of our God to stand against the prevailing powers and principalities represented by both the conservative evangelical Christian base and our government and in particular by current practices of the Executive branch that can only be described as demonic.
And if I believed that apocalyptic literature was a 'future-ing tool' given to us in order to actually predict the future of the faith, which I do not, then I would be sure that we are in the 'end times' that are so often regaled in popular literature and modern versions of apocalyptic theology. And not because we seem to be suffering under the influence of some extra-human demonic power, but rather as did the writers of Daniel and Revelations I would proclaim that the current evil being done is simply revealing humanity at its worst and that it is most clearly symbolized by the current occupant of the Oval Office. In short, current policies simply could not be further from the gospel call of our Lord to love and care for one another. 'When did we see you a stranger Lord and welcome you?' And the Lord will answer, 'Whenever you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters you did so to me.'
In fact, if I thought there were such a thing as a one-time antichrist I would say we may be seeing him. Unfortunately however the President is only the latest in a long line of those who have decided to reject the gospel in favor of and in devotion to greed and prejudice.
And those who say we should respect the office are correct in their assertion…unless the occupant of that office is evil in intent and is taking every measure possible to diminish the actual gospel call of our Lord. We are not called to offer allegiance to anyone other than Christ. And to the extent that a particular leader is in fact Christ-like, then as followers of the persecuted stranger and alien who was named Jesus we should support them as well. However the opposite is also very true…to the extent that a current leader in a position of power is doing harm to our brothers and our sisters, to the extent that our leader is ripping families apart with in some cases a real chance of preventing them from ever being reunited…to the extent that bigotry and white supremacist language and catch-phrases have become the common language of our country's leader, then that leader must be called out, rejected, and actively fought against in whatever ways are available to us both as Christians and as law-abiding members of our society. When the ones in power are committing such faithfully criminal acts our memory must be long, and our insistence that they be finally brought to justice and forced to atone for their crimes must never be silenced.
Last week I preached on the notion that there is still good in the hearts of many of our neighbors and friends…and that the Spirit of God is still actively seeking to reassure us that God's will cannot be thwarted. However…we each have a part to play in the coming to be of that day of peace, justice, and equality of opportunity…through insistence that the call of the gospel is upheld, through participation in equal redistribution of wealth across all of society, through repentance for grievous sins both past and present, and through the willingness to sacrifice our all, even our freedom in this quest to lift up the love of our God as we seek justice for all oppressed.
As followers of our Lord we simply must find a way to be incensed whenever and wherever we see, hear of, or find injustice committed against a brother or a sister. We no longer are permitted to stand idly by and to ignore the plight of those being hurt, displaced, or destroyed by the policies of the current administration, policies echoed loudly from a base of supporters still able to convince themselves that eventually it will calm down, that eventually those things that have been said or done which would have totally destroyed any previous occupant of the Oval Office will give way to sunshine and a certain calm. We must take a stand, for these immoral and hurtful unjust actions currently show no sign of diminishing…in fact the only thing that seems to be diminishing is hope and justice for so many who are so unfortunate as to be caught within its web of confusion and pain…along with of course, our moral fabric as a nation.
They are dark days indeed when the highest law enforcement individual in the land uses the bible to justify the evil he is advocating through policies of harm and exclusion…the same scriptures mind you that were used heavily by those who sought to justify slavery prior to the Civil War in our nation. This wanton abuse and misinterpretation of the revelation of our God is sin of the highest order…nothing could be further from the truth and intent the gospel message…and nothing could be closer to the rationale that was used to justify putting our Lord up on that cross.
Early martyrs were sent as entertainment fodder for the blood-thirsty Roman citizenry to the Coliseum in Rome, where they were cut to pieces by much stronger soldiers with far superior weapons, or, sent in to be torn to pieces by lions and ravenous bears…all the while continuing to lift up the name of our God, refusing to bow down to the power of the State that insisted that they renounce their faith in order to be spared…
And so…I guess the real question must be…if we are silent in the face of the horrific injustice currently being meted out by those in power, then are we not already renouncing our own faith? Or are we willing to use our own slings of faithful intent and goodness, our own voices filled with resolve and compassion? For our foe may seem unbeatable, mighty in size and strength…but by grace the word of our Lord is greater still…and by grace we will be shown the point of vulnerability in that armor as well.
Yes you can do something about it…and yes it will cost you something…perhaps even relationships with some who you now consider to be close friends…and yes it may cause you to come under scrutiny as one who is not currently in support of our government even though the work and policies of that administration are in truth unsupportable on its face. Indeed, as followers of our Lord of love, as those who believe in and lift up the gospel call to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, and to welcome the stranger we can no longer sit by hoping others will do the hard work of resisting the evil amongst us, the hard work of standing in the valley before the arrogant giant with nothing but the sling of the Spirit and the staff of love. We must speak up and speak out every time the Spirit moves within us to call out injustice, to stand with the oppressed, and to lay down our life in service of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The time is now, the Goliath standing before us must be vanquished, for the final victory is assured. For those who oppose our Lord in these ways truly do not know who it is in whom we have believed, they do not know the power of our Lord of love.
Like the fight there that day in the Valley of Elah, this too is not a fair fight and the final outcome will prove that the way of love not hate, of inclusion not division, of bridges not walls, of peace not war, of laughter not bitterness, of mutual cooperation not unilateral evil, of blessed community and not tribal loyalty unto the death shall prevail as the Day of our Lord is finally ushered in on the backs of our work in the service of love.
We may not all see the goodness the Lord is calling for on this side of death…but see it we shall. In the meantime, if you have a heart for our Lord at all, if you have a heart for your brother or sister in need whatsoever…then speak up, write your government representative and let your voice and your vote express how your unwavering faith in the Prince of Peace is leading you to renounce evil and those who would stand in as the false prophets they are wherever you find or hear them.
For the few who seek the Lord in all truth and humility will find the Lord…and it is they who will be asked to lead the rest back into the fold of our Lord. Are you willing to be among their number?
Goliath never saw it coming…neither will those who continue to stand opposed to our Lord of love…

Photo booths have become almost a must have item for occasions such as weddings, parties, birthday parties, reunions among others. Many professionals including photographers, DJ's event organizers, find ways to incorporate photo booths in their offerings.
Photo booths provide entertainment and a unique favor to guests. If you are thinking about incorporating a photo booth in your event, it's important to ensure you choose the right photo booth company as not all companies are the same.
5 important tips to help you choose a San Francisco Photo Booth Rental company
1. Reputation- You only get one chance to impress your guests, there is no do over. Do your homework to ensure that the photo booth company is reputable and will come through during your big occasion. Beyond the price, you need to ensure that the company is reliable, trustworthy, and professional in their work.
2. Quality photos- Another important consideration when choosing a photo booth company is the quality of photos you will get. When it comes to quality some important considerations include the size and lighting in the booth, printer's dot per inch for quality photos, quality of printers, printing speeds etc. You want to ensure that you and your guests get quality pictures.
3. High speed quality printers- Imagine having your guests wait for over thirty minutes to have their picture printed. The right company should have high speed quality printers to process photos immediately. Professionals who use high speed printers will mention them while giving you a price estimate.
4. Provision for photo personalization- You want your guests and yourself to have the best experience while using the photo booth. Inquire to find out whether the photo booth company will allow you to choose how you want your photos, or they will just print and give you the photos with only a date and name caption at the bottom. The right company should have designers on standby to design and ensure that all your requirements are captured in the final photo.
5. Cost and value for money- When choosing a photo booth, it's important to ensure that you will get full value for your money. Make sure that the company offers all the features you will want to use in the booth. Ask for quotes to find out what is and what is not included in the price estimate. Some companies will offer a complex price estimate, making it difficult to compare their features and pricing with other companies. The company you choose should be able to offer all the features you want at an affordable price
A photo booth is a great and fun addition to many occasions. However with the many companies offering the service it's important to ensure that you choose the right company for a great photo experience. Shop around and get quotes before choosing the right company. Consider the price, quality of work, experience, reputation, customization of photos etc while looking for a photo booth company. If you want your guests to have fun, do thorough research and choose appropriately.

Bavo De Ridder has this interesting take on Cloud Computing:
Cloud computing is cool, no doubt about that. There have never been more good looking and futuristic looking schematics been made in Visio. Thousands of presentations, workshops and even conferences have been held on the subject.
One question however has not be clearly answered yet … what about data ownership? What about privacy of that data? When your applications are running in the cloud you are also handing over your data to whoever is running the data center. How sure are you that they protect this data as they should do?
Bavo does point out some valid concerns. But I feel he goes too far when he links these concerns to the recent Microsoft Live TOS change:
Your cloud partner decides to disable a feature in their application, a feature you depend on. Does your disaster recovery plan takes this into account? This is not far fetched, in a small way this is what happened when Microsoft decided to disable anonymous comments on their Live Blog. They even did this retroactively and so revealed identity information of authors who previously had been anonymous.
While the Microsoft Live situation was a disaster for the users that had an expectation of continued privacy, there is an important distinction, namely the Golden Rule. No doubt the TOS for Microsoft Live, like all free services, are very one sided. For most free services you get the service for, well free, on whatever terms the provider dictates and you are, again, free to take your non-money elsewhere if you aren't happy.
Commercial service providers typically provide a much different kind of contract with their paying customers. Such contracts would dictate under what conditions features could be added or removed. And there is a strong financial motivation to keep the customers happy.
Of course Bavo's points about your provider going under or being acquired are quite valid.
Still it all comes down to risk. Successful companies don't avoid risk. They balance risk against reward. If the cost savings with moving to Cloud Computing makes these risks acceptable then companies will consider doing it.
After all, are these risks so different from what companies take on when they contract with any provider, from payroll down to cleaning services?
