Not everyone turns their nose up at a rancher. Reality TV shows like the Fabulous Beekman Boysabout a successful couple from the city who gave up their careers to raise goats for milk, can make farming sties easy, but the lifestyle shift would be difficult for most who were not raised with it.

In line with my recent post of budget beauty buys, I thought it might be fun to share beauty buys that are worth the bucks, in my humble opinion. I feel like prestige brands like those sold at Ulta and Sephora are a gateway drug. Once you try them and get amazing results, it's really hard to go back to the cheap stuff. That can be said about all of these products, which I LADORE (love and adore). In fact, I couldn't even narrow it down to my usual 10, so you get a dozen.
1. When I first saw the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders at Sephora, I thought "Forty five bucks for powder? Ummm, yah right!" But then I swatched it and was kind of intrigued at how buttery soft and ethereal it looked. So I bought one… I don't even like powder and rarely use it because I have such dry skin, but this stuff is incredible. It adds the softest, most natural glow to the face. The lighter shades can be used as a highlighter for the brow bone and cheekbones and the darker tones for bronzer, but I actually use the shade Dimly Lit all over my face just to set my foundation. I can't even describe how beautifully it adds radiance without actually adding any shimmer. Hourglass products tend to be very pricey, but I really haven't been disappointed by anything they make yet. This one is tops. I hit pan on this one right away and that never happens!
2. I received the Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Conditioner in one of my subscription boxes and thought I read the label wrong. Dry shampoo I've heard of, and am kind of a hair disciple of, but dry conditioner? I know it sounds weird but the finish on this stuff is so lovely. It takes dry, brittle, unruly hair and just adds the slightest kiss of moisture without having to shower and deep condition. I kind of lived on this stuff during the newborn years when showers were pretty much a weekly occurrence, and I consistently got compliments on how nice my hair looked. To top it off, it has a lovely scent as well. Win win.
3. I know it might seem a little pretentious to require a prestige eyeliner but I am kind of picky about my eyeliner formula. I HATE those dry pencils that pull and tug at delicate skin and end up looking patchy and crooked. Make Up For Ever's Aqua Eyes eyeliner has an awesome almost gel-like consistency. It goes on super smooth and is the most waterproof eyeliner I have ever used. It's available in about a million shades but I consistently use the matte brown shade 25 L.
4. Tweezerman tweezers have pretty much been a cult classic so this one probably isn't a surprise but I wasn't really a believer until I bought my first pair in the last year or so. I don't really have bushy or unruly brows but I do occasionally get those stray hairs and stubborn fine hairs that are tough to pluck. This are so sharp and precise that they get every little hair. With maintenance, these will last a lifetime as well.
5. I'm very sure I have blogged about my eternal search for the perfect mascara and it's still in the works, but Guerlain Maxi Lash is nearly perfect. The formula goes on beautifully and makes the longest, most beautifully slightly curled lashes. It has a delicate rose scent as well, which I love but might annoy you if you don't like scented products. The formula is very soft so you never get that dry spidery look and the tube itself never dries out prematurely either.
6. I really wanted to hate this stuff based on the insane price tag and all the hype in the beauty blogging/vlogging world. But after hearing over and over again that it was basically magic in a bottle, I had to try it. I hate how amazing Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist is. I do not even know how this stuff works, but a little spritz on the face and you glow like an angel. Not a glittery, stripper glow, but a natural dewy gorgeous glow. It is frankly, amazing. I have used it both under makeup and as a setting spray and the results are equally beautiful.
7. If you are going to spend some bucks, I do think it is best spent on skin care. Ironically, my regimen is fairly budget-friendly because I've just found the right products that work for me and they happen to be pretty afforadble. However, if you are over the age of 30, it's time to add a serum to your regimen and this one is amaze! That's not a typo. I don't even need the "ing" on the end. A bottle of Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair will last you a fair amount of time and will do beautiful things for your skin. When I feel like spending the extra money, usually seasonally, when my skin really starts to get unmanageable, I will splurge on this. It's like medicine for sad skin.
8. Blush is also something that seems sort of strange to spend a lot of money on, but they simply don't get better than the ones by Nars. The color range is huge, providing a shade for every skin tone and every look and mood. The texture on these is beautiful. They go on smooth and they last a very long time. Some are matte, some have a kiss of shimmer and some are flat out blingy. I feel like Nars has gone the extra mile in considering the most flattering colors for cheeks, taking into account different skin tones, and they have aced it. My favorite shades are the cult classic Orgasm and the slightly milder Deep Throat. Okay… the names are pervish, but you can get past that. 😉
9. If you have the extra cash, there is nothing like a luxury lipstick. The range by Tom Ford is super duper incredible (and stupid expensive). Rich, buttery and in the most beautiful range of colors. They go on silky smooth, last for hours and look pulled together and polished. My favorite shade is the dusty neutral Indian Rose.
10. I've only recently embraced the daily use of bronzer and love how much healthier it makes my pale skin look. The tricky part is finding the right shade for your skin. Bronzers tend to be too ashy or too orangey, too shimmery or too matte, too pigmented or too chalky. I have found respite in the range of bronzers by Guerlain, particularly the Terracotta line. They are natural looking, the perfect soft and blendable texture and last very well on the skin. Again, stupid expensive, but worth it to not look like an orangey tanned Jersey girl.
11. When the Clarisonic first came out, I thought it was stupid. I thought, "You seriously can't just use your fingers to wash your skin?!" But I kept seeing vlogs just praising the thing and how amazing it was for skin. So I got a killer coupon and bought one on a whim, and wow, my skin looked incredible. It does a fantastic job at gently exfoliating skin while cleaning and removing makeup and dead skin. Skin glows after a week or two of using this. Mine just died after about 2 years (which is a bit disappointing) and I'm fairly certain that I must replace it. My skin is crying for Clarisonic.
12. There is just something about a really nice lip liner and the ones by Bobbi Brown are perfection. The shades are so natural and flattering. The formula is creamy and comfortable but still long wearing. I love a nice pinky beige neutral lip and her liners are the only ones I've ever found that work with lipstick instead of against it. LOVE. I can't even pick a perfect shade because I love so many… but Pale Mauve, Beige and Nude are tops.

Since January 1, 2001, 13% of the more than 1,000 private sector defined benefit plans reviewed by Aon Consulting have frozen their benefits. Going forward, 2% of the sample is planning a freeze by the end of the year and 6% are still considering such a move.
Asked for the reason for the move:
- 45% of respondents cited the amount of plan contributions
- 39% mentioned the volatility of contributions
- 35% pointed to the impact of pension plans on corporate expense.
The study was conducted during October 2003. More information is available at http://www.aon.com/about/publications/issues/2003_10pension_freeze_study.jsp .

Ads on Disqus
Dear all, as you already know, I've always been crystal clear and upfront that I don't want FOAR to be ad-supported. You've heard me say several times that I've deactivated Disqus REVEAL (their advertising system) and switched of all Cookie tracking of visitors to the site. Thus far, I've been paying for everything out-of-pocket.
Unfortunately, as much as I want that to continue, I received this email from Disqus yesterday. See screenshot below:
This means that Disqus will no longer be Free of use without Ads from Feb 8, 2017. However, if I pay a monthly fee, I get to use the Premium version where I can disable Ads.
Couple months ago, I received a note from Disqus that FOAR qualified for Disqus REVEAL given the level of commenting activity…so while I didn't activate this option before (for all the reasons made clear by now), that option was still available to me at the back-end.
For now, I've Activated Disqus REVEAL, which means, very shortly you'll see ads for penis enlargement pills and customisable dildos very soon. This is not what I wanted, but it may keep Disqus free for now. However, if you think that Ads ruin the experience, and that you would like to chip so that I can pay for the Premium version, do let me know.
Please note, that I'm saying this not because I can't pay this measly sum, but that I shouldn't. The site should be self-sustaining over and above the registration of the domain and monthly hosting fees which I will continue to pay. But additional features which require subscription should be load-shared with the Community…because after all, this is YOUR Community as much as it is mine.
I write this upfront to you for the purpose of transparency and accountability.

Blustery conditions played their part as Portadown and Glentoran fought out a 1-1 draw at Shamrock Park.
The Ports capitalised on a strong downfield wind in the first half with Peter McMahon's 11th-minute goal.
The Glens responded in the second period and were rewarded with Jordan Stewart's clinical finish in the 74th minute.
The Ports almost snatched victory two minutes from time but Chris Casement's free-kick rattled off the post.
Portadown had claims for a penalty in the fourth minute after Michael Gault's header rebounded off Niall Henderson on the line - but referee Colin Burns turned down the appeals.
The Ports claimed the lead in the 11th minute with a fine finish from McMahon - the midfielder unleashing an unstoppable shot past Elliott Morris from the edge of the box.
Glens goalkeeper Elliott Morris almost caught Portadown counterpart David Miskelly out with a speculative punt at the start of the second half.
The ball caught in the wind before bouncing in the box, and Miskelly was forced to tip the effort behind for a corner.
Curtis Allen headed wide from Henderson's corner in the 62nd minute, and David Scullion tested Miskelly with a shot from the edge of the box that went straight at the Ports keeper.
The visitors were rewarded for their pressure in the 74th minute with Stewart's equaliser, the winger ghosting in to finish off David Scullion's deep cross.
Casement was denied by the woodwork in the 88th minute, the defender's curling free-kick cannoning off the post.
PORTADOWN: Miskelly, Casement, Redman, O'Hara, Breen, McMahon, Mackle, Mouncey ((McAllister 82), Gault, Twigg, Garrett.
Subs not used: Brennan, Oman, Ramsey, Conaty.
GLENTORAN: Morris, Kane, Scullion (O'Hanlon 80), Allen, Stewart, Henderson, McAlorum, Nelson (McKee 84), Gordon, Holland, Addis.
Subs not used: McCaffrey, Gray, Hogg.

Fyffes – North American Sales Video
Our very own Captain was asked by Minimart to travel to costa Rica to film Bananas for Fyffes. With a Canon C300, a bag of lenses, some mosquito spray and a smile the journey began into the heart of the jungle to film at remote Banana farms during the height of the rainy season.
The job was to then return to London and edit & record voice over in a fast turn around style.
A good example of where we feel most comfortable: filming on location, mixing documentary with commercial.

After a great Junior Day visit, Bryan Hudson told us that Virginia Tech were the leaders in his recruitment. This past weekend, Hudson returned to Blacksburg for another visit that kept the Hokies right at the top of his recruitment.
The Kentucky native told us that Virginia Tech continues to lead in his recruitment after a "great" visit this past weekend. What did Hudson do while he was in Blacksburg?
"I got up and watched a morning practice and saw campus, the dorms, dining facilities, and position meetings. I also got to talk with Coach Fuente and Coach Vice for a while," Hudson said. "I had a great talk with the coaches and saw everything that I hadn't seen before."
Yes, Hudson did get up for one of the Hokies' 5:30 a.m. morning workouts, something that I know I wouldn't do as a high schooler. Then again, I wasn't a high school football player either.
When we asked Hudson what stood out about his visit, he told us that "I really enjoyed watching Coach Vice and Coach Fuente work. I also loved talking with both of them for a long time both days I was there."
This visit only strengthened the Hokies' position as the leader in Hudson's recruitment. So why does Virginia Tech continue to lead for him?
"I really like the culture of the program. Campus life is awesome and the facilities are great," Hudson said. "I have a really good relationship with the coaches and relate to them very well. I love the attitude of the team."
One of the main reasons why the Hokies lead is because of Bryan Hudson's relationship with Justin Fuente and Vance Vice. "I have gotten very comfortable with both Coach Fuente and Vice. I feel like I relate to both of them very well as a person and football player," said Hudson when asked about his growing relationship with VT's coaches.
Coming off this visit, Hudson told us that he is looking at making a decision in the next "4-5 weeks" while taking multiple visits this weekend across SEC country to LSU, Florida, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State. Virginia Tech and LSU are two of the schools recruiting Hudson the hardest along with in-state Louisville where some of his family currently attends.
Right now, Virginia Tech is the favorite for Hudson and we have since made a prediction in the Hokies' favor. Hudson has built a strong relationship with both Justin Fuente and Vance Vice while he has grown comfortable around VT's program. The fact that Hudson also got up for one of the Hokies' early morning workouts is another great sign of his high interest in Virginia Tech.
The Hokies are in great shape for Bryan Hudson after another great visit, but they still have some work to do to beat out top challengers like LSU and Louisville.
Bryan Hudson in the Recruiting Rankings
Hudson is well-regarded nationally as 247 Sports ranks him as the 180th best recruit, the 247 Sports Composite ranks him 213th, Rivals ranks him 242nd, and ESPN ranks him 223rd. Hudson is ranked as the ninth best offensive guard by 247 Sports, 11th best OG by 247 Sports Composite and ESPN, and 25th best offensive tackle by Rivals. All four rankings have Hudson as one of the top 5 recruits in the state of Kentucky.
Bryan Hudson's Offer List (According to 247 Sports)
- ACC: Virginia Tech, Louisville, Duke, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Syracuse, Pittsburgh
- SEC: Alabama, LSU, Florida, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri
- Big 10: Ohio State, Purdue, Rutgers
- Independent: Notre Dame

Empire's promotions did not sufficiently disclose restrictions on its advertised products and services.
I don't think they regarded my contribution as a leadership purpose and as opposed to selling me they hired some other person which was similar to a kick inside the crotch." $41K Product sales Representative Typical Salary at Empire Today (42 salaries) Equivalent to national ordinary Revenue Agent income ($41K)
the telephone in the photo is sitting flat- lying on a person plank but is lifted off of the second plank due to the warping Was this review …? Beneficial 4 Humorous Awesome Heather P. Terrell, TX
We were painting a area and had to prevent the undertaking for them to accomplish the install. This corporation wished to give us quite limited special discounts and we ended up canceling the buy. We have been very simple persons to work with and realize items transpire, but this was Definitely absurd! At time, we lived in excess of one hour far from the assets and it had been beyond inconvenient to obtain persons not demonstrate up after we rearranged our schedules being there! I won't ever choose Empire again! I am telling all of my family and friends to Under no circumstances use this enterprise!
It appears like we don't have a specific deal with for Empire Today, which makes supplying Instructions challenging. This business enterprise may not have an Formal storefront, or it'd go to multiple spots during the day.
We sad to say utilised them two times. The moment for kitchen area flooring which went Okay. Then carpet within our new residence and these guys with a dirty junk van show up with the wrong carpet.
They also did the same identical tactic with my mother who finished heading with both Coker flooring or lowes, I might endorse any person but empire.
Also I used to be informed which the guarantee was prorated which is how they arrived up with the 1,000$ price tag. My carpet is four years old. We compensated two,one hundred$ for 3 rooms four decades ago and that is prorated? There exists a twenty-year guarantee on these products. I am not accountable for the install or the faulty padding. They're working with my situation against me. I did not get in touch with Empire right up until a short while ago simply because my partner, a US soldier, was Unwell and wanted my complete interest, As well as in that time I have needed to put him to rest. Yes everyday living obtained in just how and Empire is heartless more than enough to try and pin their employee's fault on me. I am getting taken benefit of. I am a retired veteran's widow dwelling on a small armed forces pension. I do not have my husband to support me Using the strain or maybe the click here accountability this organization has set on me. I feel They are really Profiting from me and my scenario.
BONAIRE, GEORGIA -- To start with I would like to say I had never ever acquired carpet ahead of and there have been refined symptoms that actually let me know I must go in other places, but I dismissed them.

At 4pm "she" named and claimed she just acquired that she was alleged to be there and would come on. Once i brought up samples she reported "oh, I will really need to go from the office to acquire These".

All machinery involves risks of one sort or another. Employers whose workers use machines have a statutory duty to protect them against accidents. Self-employed people who use equipment that could pose a danger to members of the public are subject to the same legal requirements, and self-employed people in their own premises would be foolish to ignore the need to manage risks. One vital aspect of risk management is the inspection and testing of equipment.
Risk Assessment
The starting point for all safety schedules is the risk assessment. With any piece of equipment, it is necessary to compile a list of the things that could pose a hazard (this will usually be included in the manufacturer's literature), the likelihood of the hazard occurring, and the steps that will be taken to minimize the risk. The schedule of inspection and testing will form a central part of that risk-reduction process.
What Should be Inspected?
The risk assessment should list the things that need inspecting. All new equipment will come with the manufacturer's recommendations, although second-hand machinery may not have that. The particular items that need inspection depend on the risks they pose.
For instance, electrical machinery must be regularly tested for effective insulation. Mobile plants need to be inspected to ensure the optimum field of vision for the operator. Ladders need to be checked for strength and stability.
The function of all safety devices is critical, and you must pay particular attention to these.
How Often Should Equipment be Inspected?
You must set up an appropriate schedule of testing for each piece of equipment. This will normally include:
- A visual inspection before each use (e.g. electric cables are not frayed).
- A frequent check on safety critical features (e.g. safety cut-outs operate effectively).
- Servicing according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
It is a legal requirement to keep a record of each inspection (apart from the daily one). A checklist can help to ensure that the checks are complete.
As well as testing and inspecting at intervals, you can sometimes make use of technology that constantly monitors the integrity of the equipment. For instance, strain gauges from RS can be attached to parts that are subject to strain. These would indicate if the part is reacting abnormally and needs attention.
Who Should Do the Testing?
The law requires that testing and inspection should be carried out by a suitably qualified person. In most routine cases that would mean a trained operator or supervisor. In more thorough periodic servicing, it is more likely to be a mechanic trained in the manufacturer's procedures.
Ultimately the responsibilities for frequent inspections, tests, and maintenance, lie with the owner of the business.
Health and Safety – Everyone's Friend
Health and safety can sometimes seem like an obstacle that gets in the way of doing real work. However, anyone who has experienced an accident at work will bear witness to its importance. Ironically, regular inspection and testing only likely to seem like unnecessary burdens because they are so effective in preventing those experiences.

This is a guest post by Dedra Herod. She is a chick in love with Jesus, a wonderful friend and will be a workshop speaker at the .Mom event in September. She blogs at Just a Chick and is also active on Twitter. I wonder what you are struggling with at this moment… What is making you weary? A broken relationship? A task that seems never ending? A prayer request that seems to be repeated every day? A person that He has called you to serve that doesn't appear to be changing?
Galatians 6:9 says, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Did you know that Holy tension is a good thing? When we are faced with a task that we don't necessarily want to do, knowing that He's either called us to it or asked us to do it and then actually following through with it… that's a GOOD thing! That's called Holy tension.
It's a hard thing but a good, good thing. In our current culture of "hurry up" and "over scheduling" and "results now" it's hard to simply be content with the act of participating in what He's called you to. We want to see immediate answers to prayers. We want the person we love to love us immediately in return. We want the praise of man after we publish a blog post or accomplish something that was hard.
Here's what He calls us to remember:
- He rewards us constantly for our obedience to Him.
- We may never see the harvest or fruit of our labor in our lifetime.
- In our weakness (lack of desire and joy, lack of strength, presence of sensitive emotions) He is made strong.
- By choosing to act instead of succumbing to our fleshly desire to sit on the couch, we are made strong in Him.
- Choosing to do the next thing will reap huge blessings, maybe not right this moment, but He's promised to bless those who love and serve Him.
- He loves us.
I'm truly sorry if you or a loved one is feeling weary today. How about we decide together to do this today? Let's welcome the weariness. In our weariness, He is made strong and we are equipped to stand up and do what He's called us to do.
Let's let Him have every single part of us today, especially the weariness. He's promised to turn it all around and reward us. I can't wait to hear what He's shifted in your heart as you choose to do the thing with His strength instead of your own.
Are you willing?

Hell yea let it be my EXODUS! (EXODUS Album Review)
EXO, now composed of ten members, came back with a stunningly made album "EXODUS", showcasing each of the members' improved skills in singing and rapping. It only goes to show that their group is totally moving forward to what happened in their last comeback. We welcome the new and improved faces of the group.
Stronger and Sexier. These are the two things that I saw in this album. More hip thrusts, flirtatious lines that will surely make the fangirls faint. From school boys who transformed into wolves, to sexy men in a cool sports car, let's see and dig deeper to what has improved on each of the tracks on this album.
Let's get right to it, shall we? Continue reading
UPDATE: Baekhyun & Chen's Teaser Photos
…and to complete this set of EXO teaser photos, here is two-thirds of the beagle line – Chen & Baekhyun.
As oppose to what everyone is expecting, Baekhyun also has that "reflectionless" teaser photo as Chen stares through the camera with all his charm.
Please stay in touch with us as we all wait for further information & teasers for this EXO-K & EXO-M comeback!
EXO-K & EXO-M will be having their comeback showcase for their 2nd mini-album on April 15 at Jamsil Stadium entitled "EXO Comeback Show" sponsored by Samsung Music and you can watch the live stream of the said event on Samsung Music's website.
I was tasked (I volunteered, actually) to make an album review for SM the Ballad's "BREATH". I got very excited and today, I am much honored to be the second 'guest author' in this blog (Yes, I am a guest author). So, I will save the introduction for later :)) .
So, last February 13, 2014, SM Entertainment released the most awaited album, entitled "BREATH". With the gathering of the new line- up of artists to sing for the album, it surely is interesting to see another concept that defies love in an instance. It consists of 10 tracks, including three versions (Korean, Japanese and Chinese) of the songs 'Breath' and 'Blind'.
The day I watched the teaser for the full album, I concluded that it is a compilation of BREAK- UP songs. The album is a story that is being unfolded at each of the tracks, and it created a very successful portrayal of "Heart Break". Cheers to SM! Anyway, let's get right through the tracks, shall we?
Note: The following plot is made from the writer's weird imagination. Some parts of the plot came from the lyrics, others are just for internet humor.
**A melody starts off. The clouds are not in good terms with the reader's feelings. There goes thunder and rain, a story is about to be seen, DEAR**
This one is a good starting point before hearing the full album itself. I consider this one- minute audio as the 'mood setter'. With the sound of the rainfall, to the slow piano melody and to the mixing of orchestral sadness, this gradually made my very jolly day into a very sad one. A very effective start for the upcoming BREAK- UP songs.
** Both people are holding their phones and they are waiting for each other's calls. Both are reminiscing good memories and keep letting out a sigh while tears fall to their faces. Each of them shows that they regret their parting to each other, and that they still both love each other the same way as before. They both want to achieve one thing, which is to at least hear each other's BREATH (Award- Winning Plotline Level: SM)**
2. BREATH (sung by Taeyeon (SNSD) and Jonghyun (SHINee) in Korean, f (Krystal) and Changmin/Max (TVXQ!) in Japanese and Chen (EXO) and Zhang Li Yin in Chinese)
This is the best BREAK- UP song I have heard so far. This is the ballad that continues the melody of the first track 'Dear…' For what I have seen, it is has a very lonely tune that has a feeling of 'REGRET' to it. The lyrics of the song jive to the feeling of the melody itself, making it my frequently played song on this album. Also, even when you watch the music video of this song, it creates the most intense gloom. A complete package for a BREAK- UP song. Since it has three versions, the version which struck me the most? I'll leave it up to you people. (Those three versions are freaking good I can't even choose which is better!)
** In the aftermath, a man had a great loss for his love. He blamed himself for being too into her that it made her tired. The crucial time where he realized that 'love' is already gone, 'greed' came on a rise instead. He was too BLIND to see it at first. The man tries to forget the past but finds it very hard to do for his love still remains for her.**
3. BLIND (sung by Yesung (Super Junior) in Korean and Japanese, and Zhoumi (Super Junior-M) in Chinese)
This song is the best representation of how can love gets to a point that it is too CRAZY to continue. In the lyrics it literally described HEART- BREAK as VERY CRAZY THAT IT LEFT A VERY CRAZY DEEP SCAR (soo crazy). This song created a good feeling that the listeners can relate and follow through until the end of the song. It taught me a great lesson: BEWARE, OVERFLOWING LOVE KILLS. LOVE MODERATELY. I can say it is a hell of a good story. (fan-fic worthy, everyone!)
**The boy thinks it's too easy for her to forget their love, but it was the same instance for her. She tries to put those good memories on a blur but it gets clearer after. She kept on shedding tears. Therefore she shouted…**
4. SET ME FREE (sung by Taeyeon of SNSD)
I love this song as well. I think it is the girl version of the song Blind, looking like it is the response of the girl to what the man is feeling right now. For what I have experienced, the lyrics are so remarkable that everyone can follow through unlike other songs that do not repeat the same lines.
Looking at the plot, you can feel the way the woman tries so hard to forget those past memories of them, resembled to the song as her precious stones to him. The heartfelt melody gradually puts you into sadness that the song should give. Nice Job Taeyeon.
**After some time, the man has moved on, and he disregards what his love would be thinking on what he does before. He is now thinking only for himself. But he still remembers those good days, feeling like he already had no reason for his doings to be hated nor loved. (The writer stops his too heartfelt plot and goes on shopping. He sees Chen of EXO, got excited for some time. Being an EXO-stan, he gets back to typing his album review and tries not to be too biased about his review for "A DAY WITHOUT YOU")**
5. A DAY WITHOUT YOU (sung by Jonghyun of SHINee Chen of EXO)
(I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I SO. LOVE. IT!! CHEAN IS SINGING THEN.. oops, sorry XD) *coughs. Let's get straight to the point.
The slow beat in this song slightly gets rid of all the sadness in the earlier songs, since it changes from very sad to moderately-sad-to-happy state. It's simply exceptional to see how the flow of the tracks in this album gradually changes your mood. (When I hear this song I feel like shopping, which is my unique compliment.) In the song, it was described that he feels free after his break- up with his love, but he is still longing for her.
It's a good duet by Jonghyun and Chen. I also like the part where they said, "I can't believe, yes it's true…" in English. Their extraordinary vocal ranges always give me goosebumps, a good blend of singers in a nice song.
**Both stated: "WHEN I WAS with you, WHEN YOU WERE with me, we used to have those good times. I keep on recalling them. But today, I think it's time to really let go of that feeling. Like what they say, there will come a time where we will change. I hope you will be happy. Goodbye." And thus ended their wonderful love to each other… *END**
6. WHEN I WAS… WHEN U WERE…(sung by f (Krystal) and Chen of EXO)
This song is so meaningful it made my mind appreciate love and acceptance. Each line of the lyrics is closely related to each other, signifying love and its deep connection to the seasons. It's also fun to read in the lines of the song in which it recalls the good things that happened with his/her love, and they look at it positively than before. As what the song says, 'seasons endlessly change', and therefore the same as through with love: it endlessly changes until we find the right kind of meaning to it, with the right one at your side.
The melody of the guitar and more feels like it came from Flower Boy Next Door OST. It fits in the part where they look afar from each other through their glass walls and windows. It's a good HEART BREAK song that keeps its melody moderately up. The part where the long 'ooohs' occur gives me a relaxing feeling. It's a nice song, my favorite song in the album as well.
All in all I liked all the songs in the Album 'BREATH' . A nice way to see SM Entertainment do some artist collaborations to keep making and developing wonderful voices, as to what is present, showcasing their balladeers. Even though I used the word 'HEART BREAK' six times and made a plot for this album, I hope to see another volume of SM the Ballad that did a great job this year. Congratulations SME!
By the way, thank you very much to Try A Little Kpop for this opportunity.

OMO: (WHAAAT?! The 12 Members of EXO in your house would be the biggest) Miracles in December – [EXO's Miracles in December MV Review]
I am finally reviewing EXO! Weee~! What ever happened to my Wolf and Growl review will be revealed on the next couple of days in another post, so for the meantime, let's review Miracles in December.
There are five possibilities that happened to you regarding these EXO boys this year (a) You are an EXO fan from the start so you just brush off haters because "Hey! This group is awesome, just wait and see" (b) You absolutely hate Wolf and thought your friends were plain crazy about loving them like "What was that?!" (c) Then Growl was out and you can't seem to stop listening to them and "Oh! That Kai guy and Lay guy can both dance!" (d) You made your most stoic expression and said "No, still not liking them. They can't even sing for crying out loud!" (e) BaekChenSoo and BaekChenLu started singing ballad and you were "These guys can sing! Why was that panda-looking guy started crying? No don't cry….*sobs with him*". So whether you are now throwing them all the love you have or you are still hating them; these boys, there's no denying, have made it big this year! From awwwooou-ing to growling they have stolen hearts without you even noticing. What did they call that again? EXO Syndrome? Yeah, something like that and when you have contracted it, there's no turning back!
I would like to discuss their cover photo for a moment, I don't know about you and I don't mean to offend the group or anyone but I was a bit stunned and confused the first time I saw their album cover photos spreading on twitter then I laughed. I really thought they look funny the whole time that I nearly fall of my bed. Who in this world thought that from Tree of Life it will eventually be a Christmas Tree? They're cute though.
This carrier single does not feature the entire group, since it is ballad, the highlight was just their "vocal line" (Baekhyun, Chen, D.O. and the variation of Baekhyun, Chen, Luhan) and yes, this has two versions (you know the drill right?) Korean and Chinese since SM debuted this boy group as EXO-K and EXO-M so there are always two versions and whether you like one over the other it does not even matter because as of this year, they were performing as a whole, so yeah, They are ONE! (Please remember that)
And back to the song, the song is really heart wrecking from the moment that piano hit its first couple of notes. You just can't help but feel that serene atmosphere of being hurt that yes, this is a song that is intended for you to sob all over the place and break your heart into pieces. The lyrics even dared to admit that it was the guy's fault and he just realized it now after all these time and he was telling you that he was sorry for neglecting you when you are still together and until now, he's still waiting and he's rather going crazy waiting for you. It was rather romantic and sad at the same time (and we all secretly wish that there are still guys like that out there).
The MV feels cozy and a bit effervescent at the same time. If regret can be visualized and be somehow be felt through the screen, I felt that through those regret scenes that they have especially that scene where the vocal line were back to back and the background were revolving sad scenes from the other members. It looks like you were traveling through someone's sadness. Although I felt really sad through the entire MV (the EXO members and the director and the staff did well) I still have one question though; What's with the piano in a desert-like SM box-set decorated with gigantic crystals and some broken pieces of stones which looks like it came out of a Superman movie? Are relaying to us that this "regret" that they have is their Kryptonite just like Superman? Is it the reason why they kept repeating that song line with "useless powers" in the song? Did I just decode the greatest EXO mystery on Earth at the moment? Hehe…. Whatever the set decorators' reason for that, this Superman-themed theory is all I have at the moment. So yeah. But I still don't love that Superman set though, they could've just played the piano and sang on a normal living room and they will have the same sad vibe for that scene. Oh well, their MV, their rules. What kept me amazed until the very end was the part where Tao turned back time and everything, well, went to a rewind and even the snow fall winded back like Ha! I never thought they would really do that then the vocal line rewind thing.
EXO's acting somehow improved through this year, they are still not the best but I guess you know what mean. You could see the progress from Wolf to this video. Who would have thought that Tao can easily shed tears like that? I know Sehun looks like he was lacking emotions when he should have been hurt but you can still somehow feel a tinge of it in his eyes. Maybe next time he could improve more.
If there's a runner up for advertising things next to YG, here you go. It is SM! Have you seen the box of cosmetics that the boys are currently promoting in the video. Yup! Marketing, thy name is SM. But the biggest pun of all is not that. I really think that SM is a good listener especially when it comes to fan suggestions. See, remember the time we all said that Sehun would probably look good in all hair colors? Yeah, they made him look like the rainbow melted from the sky and the colors spilled on his head (he looked good still though). Now, we all call Kris Kriscasso for the pun side of it right? Hi there fans! We got it again! You know Kris has this knack for drawings right? (but drawings are not really fond of him somehow) Thus, Kris is painting…..(nothing) Ta~da! I think SM likes playing with us. It's like a secret hobby of stalking us or something. It is a bit weird but yeah, at least you are sure that we are heard, right?
As a conclusion, I say that this song is the best song EXO has ever released yet and this was EXO's year whether you accept it or not or whether it was due to the fans or not. C'mon! If there is no EXO whom will the fans cheer for? It won't make any sense. Looking back at what they had went through; we all deserve to end this year happily, whether you are a fan or a member of EXO without one another it will all just result to none. So yes, Congratulations to them and to us! And from us to you, Advance Merry Christmas!
The Mini-Album Mini Reaction Corner!
– Christmas Day showcases the talent of SM in deriving comparisons to random things and love just like Rum Pum Pum Pum and growing your wisdom tooth. This time, we are the Christmas Day. Nonetheless, the beat is cool and the song was good.
– The Star was a bit out place in the entire album and it looks like they just forced it to jive with the rest of the songs but this is my thing so, yeah, I really don't care but yeah, it was just thrown there.
-My Turn To Cry is like the runner up for Miracles for making you cry. What's with this gloom with all these KPop songs these days?
– The First Snow is an acoustic ballad and, personally, my favorite song from the entire album. Although it still talks about separation and regret, it was a little upbeat and Christmas is supposed to be upbeat.
Yes, I know that in Korea Christmas is pretty much like a Valentines day thing. So if you happen to have no one for the event… uhmm…. yeah, don't worry we're pretty much single too right now. No pressure guys. Enjoy the very cold (No there's no snow from where we are just very cold winds) weather and remember that you are not alone. Haha! Happy Christmas!

BOOK REVIEW: Emma G. Loves Boyz by Taro Meyer
Emma G. Loves Boyz - A True Love Journal is the first book in the new Tween Girl Series by Taro Meyer - the exuberant journal of a star-struck fan who vows to stop at nothing - not even doing chores! - for a chance to see her favorite boy band perform live...
Emma G. is CRAZY about Aaron, lead singer of Boyz3000. Of course, she doesn't actually know him, but so what? Feelings are feelings. That is until Josh appears… and he's soooooo CUTE. Navigating her two crushes and her middle school life, especially with eighth-grade hater Renee around, is a challenge. And oh yeah, she's got to earn money for an AWESOME trip to the Bahamas to see the band of her dreams. Hello???? How much can one thirteen-year-old take???
REVIEW BY: Arianna , 14 years, 11 months
This book was great! I love music so I can totally sympathize with Emma.
My favorite character is Dianna because she is a wonderful sister. Whatever Emma needs from her she does it without complaint.
My favorite part is when Emma submits her lyrics to the contest because it's a really important moment in the series.
I recommend this book for anyone who likes music, stories of family and friends, and lots of funny moments.
I give this book 4 stars and recommend 11 and up.

We realize you have put in long hours of studying (or at least a few long nights cramming before finals) to earn passing grades in your courses. It is our desire to see you graduate timely and well-prepared. In an effort to see this happen, we will review every course to see how it can apply to our degrees.
Through this process, if you have any questions, please contact your academic advisor or undergraduate admissions:
Phone: 219-989-2213 // email@example.com
Before credits are evaluated…
- You must apply
- Submit official transcript(s)
- Pay a $30 Transcript Evaluation Fee (included in the application fee for transfer students)
- Must be admitted as degree-seeking
How will my credits transfer to Purdue Northwest?
Transfer Equivalency System
Students and faculty are able to view established transfer course credits through our Transfer Equivalency System (above). This system compares Purdue Northwest course credits with that of other colleges and universities. If a course is not listed in the report, this does not mean the course is not accepted, it simply has not yet been reviewed for a match.
- Transfer credit is subject to departmental acceptance. Distribution and equivalencies can be changed at any time.
- The distribution and applicability of credits toward your degree are determined by the academic department of your major
- Only course credit is transferable – not GPA
- Only college level (not remedial) credits from regionally accredited institutions earned with a C- or better will be accepted
- We accept a maximum of 90 credits toward a baccalaureate degree
If you are a current Purdue Northwest student and want to enroll in college courses outside of Purdue, you must get your academic advisor's approval through the CTR4 Form.
Purdue University Northwest encourages transfer students to visit the Indiana Commissions of Higher Education Transfer Indiana website to view the Core Transfer Library (CTL) — a list of courses that will transfer among all Indiana public college and university campuses.
Will my military credits transfer?
Students can receive college credit for active duty service by submitting a copy of their DD-214. This form is not required for admission but is necessary for credit consideration. Proof of six months or more active duty can provide a range of four to eight military undistributed (UND) credits. Students submitting a DD-214 with less than six months active service are ineligible to receive college credit.
ACE (American Council on Education) credits are accepted as transfer credit by Purdue University Northwest. You may discuss departmental credit options with your academic advisor.

In the transport, handling, storage and processing of dangerous chemicals there are chances that an accident might happen and this can put the people doing these activities in harm's way, the environment is also likely to be affected. Action must be taken because there have been reports that some workers without knowledge that chemicals are hazardous have tried to clean them up posing danger to their health.
Some countries in an effort to protect their workers and environments from the hazards of these chemicals have come up with a system of classification to help put things in the clear. Some countries, however, that have not had these accidents may have not developed their own classifications.
Trade of these chemicals is only possible if all the information on their hazardousness is revealed so that those buying them can know how to handle them properly. For the trade to happen all countries had to agree to follow one classification for these chemicals which meant that they hard to give up their own.
All countries realized that what they wanted to benefit from each other from this trade so a unified system of classification that identified chemicals and levels of hazards was developed. It was not an easy task to carry out extensive research that was aimed at removing all the disparities that existed in all the classifications of different countries and still maintain the same level of protection that was intended.
Analysis of the hazardous elements of each chemical and the reactivity to air, water and other chemicals besides the impact on the environment are among the detailed works that GHS had to do. One problem that SDS had when documenting these hazardous chemicals is trying to exclude all the confidential information of protected formulas.
Since the GHS has done its job to set defined rules it is upon companies officials to ensure that all their workers are aware of them and that they are properly trained to deal with the chemicals. It is also a requirement for these companies to provide all the SDS in printed document so that workers or people dealing with them can access them when required.
If your company has the information in electronic form it is much more convenient since all your workers can have access to it in their portable devices. More caution will be taken if you have all your chemicals well labelled as hazardous, so make a point to have your company do that for all the chemicals that you deal with.

Urban Workers Skill Share
The Akin community has been working with the Urban Workers Project and Centennial College to put on a Skill Share this Saturday April 29th at Story Arts Centre 951 Carlaw Ave, Toronto Ontario. Join us and other independent and self-employed workers to share best practices and to learn from one another. You will connect with experts to get your most burning questions answered, share your hard earned lessons and build community. Together we'll skill up while we envision how to make work and life more secure in this new economy. We've teamed up other incredible partner organizations in the freelance, labour, and arts & culture communities. We'll have lawyers, accountants and other experts on hand to lead sessions and consult one-on-one on topics like taxes, setting rates, writing contracts, branding, invoicing, getting paid on time, and what to do when that doesn't happen. Oliver and Rachel will be doing a skill share on artist run not-for-profits. Wavelength Music and Xpace Cultural Centre will also be representing DIY organizing and artist run not-for-profits. We'll also talk about the big picture issues we're facing - like access to benefits, income security and child care and what we can do to make change. Participants will leave with a resources tool kit that includes contract templates, resources useful to freelancers and swag from our partners.
We are proud to be able to offer on site child care for the duration of the daytime event. Please email info(at)urbanworker.ca if you require child care and indicate so in the registration form. The earlier we have this information the better so we can make arrangements with our care providers.
The true cost of this event is $100 per person but accessibility is our top priority so we are offering a sliding scale: $20, $50 or Pay What You Can. If you love what we're up to and can afford investing in the movement for secure livelihoods in the new economy, we appreciate you making a donation through the PWYC ticket.


text: Starting a thread so folks can chat when they start getting invitations for Seattle. Let's see who gets the invitation first. I heard that the Seattle test drives will be out of the Seattle service center and not Bellevue Square. I wonder what color cars we will get. Can a moderator make this thread sticky? BTW, who are the moderators? Is there a list somewhere?

January is at an end and so (almost) are my travels. I will be back in Minnesota in a couple of days and drinking again (I've barely had a drink in a month). And the blog will be back to something resembling normal operations as well. That is to say there will be more whisky than food posts in February. I do still have a few restaurant reviews from Delhi left to post, and I haven't even started yet on our meals in Hong Kong (where I am typing this), but there'll be more whisky than food posts each week in February. We are moving house at the end of the month, though, and the excessive whisky collection was boxed up before I left town in December—as a result, reviews in February, and probably March too, will be almost entirely of samples that are more easily to hand (I cleverly did not label the boxes in which I packed my regular bottles).
Here is the long list of potential reviews. As always, feel free to nominate ones you'd like to see reviewed for sure.

I'm pleased to announce that I have three group shows opening before the end of the year. These shows are all in connection with the collective 'Contemporary British Painting' and a wonderful opportunity to get my work out into the world.
For those who follow my blog, you may remember that I wrote earlier this year in August about the 'Priseman-Seabrook collection of 21st Century British Painting'. The first showing of this collection of over sixty works, which includes one of my paintings, is at Huddersfield Art Gallery from 1st November 2014 - 14th March 2015. This exhibition is called 'Contemporary British Painting'. A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition, available through Amazon.
The second show is at Ipswich Art School Gallery from 15th November 2014 - 8th March 2015. This exhibition is called 'Paint Britain', with thirty-six participating artists.
The third show is at St Marylebone Crypt in London from 8th December 2014 to 4th January 2015, and is called 'Contemporary British Painting'. This is the group's annual christmas exhibition.
I hope you will be able to visit one or more of these exhibitions. At least now I'll be able to give a good response when people ask me where they can see my paintings!

One more year has been granted by the UGC to seven deemed universities to set right various deficiencies in their operations. The period is extended under 'C' category, providing much-needed respite and time. All the universities are directed to rectify deficiencies within the stipulated period or else they stand to face notification.
Out of 41 deemed universities, eight universities in the country, have been verified by the UGC, following the directions of Supreme court to conduct physical verification of universities that are under Judicial inspection for being unable to meet different criteria needed for recognition.
UGC had completed physical verification of eight universities as per the court directive and found them lacking in certain parameters. Thereafter, the commission granted seven of these varsities another year to do away with the deficiencies in terms of infrastructure and faculty.
According to information from UGC, "These universities have to submit the compliance report within the completion of one year granted by UGC. If not, a recommendation for denotification of their status will be extended to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD)".
In 2014 , the SC had directed UGC to check the reports of all the 41 deemed varsities and provide relevant recommendations to the central government.
These universities had appealed to the SC, after being assigned the 'C' category by the Tandon Committee in 2009.
As per SC direction, a committee was constituted under UGC, which addressed all the 41 deemed universities individually. These universities were inspected on the basis of nine parameters and they scored inadequately in most of them.
Few such parameters included conformity to provisions of the UGC Act and UGC guidelines, quality of and innovation in teaching-learning process, aspects of governance, research output, faculty resources, doctoral and other research degree programs, admission processes, award of degrees, etc.
It is to be noted that the Center is planning to formulate a new system to grade universities of the country, according to a recent communication to the SC. At present, the government is in the process of consulting different stakeholders, including the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the UGC and the National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC), to frame the criteria required for grading the varsities.

The legal battle over Mid-Atlantic Sports Network and the Nationals' television rights will drag on for, at least, another three months. MASN, which is majority-controlled by the Orioles, and the Orioles have until Sept. 23 to file an amended petition in New York Supreme Court in their ongoing court case.
The Nationals and Major League Baseball have until Oct. 20 to file a cross petition disputing the other side's claims. Reply briefs are due in late November. All sides will meet before Judge Lawrence Marks for a hearing on Dec. 15. The issues involved in the case are complicated, and Marks has allowed both sides ample time to prepare and for him to review the arguments.
Marks has granted MASN and the Orioles a preliminary injunction in mid-August against MLB and the Nationals, a significant early victory in the legal battle over the Nationals' television rights fees. Marks raised concerns about conflicts of interest in an MLB panel that ruled the Nationals should receive higher television rights fees, which MASN and the Orioles have disagreed with.
The amended petition to be filed later this month by MASN and the Orioles will make the case for vacating the MLB panel's award, which was closer to the Orioles' proposed rights fee ($40 million) than what the Nationals requested ($118 million).
The preliminary injunction prevents the Nationals from terminating MASN's license to broadcast their games, a threat made to force the network to pay the money owed under a disputed ruling by the MLB panel. Marks's ruling means MLB cannot force MASN to pay those higher rights. Things will remain as they are until the court can review the entire process.
In order to keep things as they are, MASN was ordered to post a $20 million bond, the remaining amount owed to the Nationals this year under the MLB panel's ruling. If the panel's ruling is ultimately vacated and the Orioles don't have to pay the higher rights fees, the Nationals would repay the $20 million with interest.
Meanwhile, MASN, the Orioles and Nationals were in the early stages of having their dispute heard by an American Arbitration Association panel. But, according to a person familiar with the negotiations, that arbitration process has been put on hold pending the outcome of the legal process.

Noel Gallagher Debuts Atop U.K. Album Charts, Rihanna Has No. 1 Single
By Paul Sexton
Noel Gallagher's post-Oasis career was given a resounding vote of confidence by British music buyers Sunday (23) when his self-titled album with new group the High Flying Birds, on the Sour Mash label, debuted at No. 1 with sales of 122,000, according to the Official Charts Company. Rihanna's "We Found Love" (Def Jam/Universal), featuring Calvin Harris, began its third week atop the singles chart.
"Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds" was introduced by two singles last month, "The Death of You and Me," which reached No. 15, and "AKA What A Life!," which peaked at No. 20 and rebounded 55-24 on the new chart. The band played their first official gig last night (Sunday) at Dublin's Olympia Theatre, to be followed by further U.K. dates and then a North American tour from Nov. 5 and European gigs from Nov. 26. The album is released in North America by Mercury/Island Nov. 8.
2010 U.K "X Factor" winner Matt Cardle's "Letters" (Syco Music/Columbia/Sony Music Entertainment) landed in runner-up spot on the new album chart, well behind Gallagher with 70,000 sales. Its single "Run For Your Life" dipped 6-23. Last week's bestseller, Steps' "The Ultimate Collection" (Sony Music), fell to No. 3.
Irish easy listening favorite Daniel O'Donnell's own "Ultimate Collection" (DMG TV) became his 14th top ten album as it arrived at No. 7. Maroon 5's "Hands All Over" (A&M/Universal) climbed 23-10, although their single "Moves Like Jagger," featuring Christina Aguilera, ended its nine-week run in the top three (and seven straight weeks at No. 2) by falling to No. 4. Further down the survey, massive coverage of the Stone Roses' reunion announcement helped their eponymous 1989 debut album on Silvertone/Sony Music Entertainment to re-chart at No. 40. "Now! That's What I Call Music 79" (EMI/Virgin/UMTV) started a 12th aggregate week at No. 1 on the compilation chart.
The Rihanna single sold another 92,000 units last week for a three-week total of 286,000. "Fly" (Cash Money/Universal Island), the Nicki Minaj single on which she features, climbed back 19-17. Meanwhile British boy band The Wanted debuted at No. 2 with "Lightning" (Global Talent/Geffen/Universal) and Charlene Soraia's cover of The Calling's "Wherever Will You Go" (Peacefrog) climbed 7-3, while the original jumped 25-16.
Kelly Clarkson's "Mr. Know It All" (RCA/Sony Music Entertainment) became her seventh U.K. top ten single with a No. 6 debut and widely-hailed New York singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey opened at No. 9 with "Video Games" (Stranger/Universal). "Without You" (Positiva/Virgin/EMI) by David Guetta featuring Usher moved 16-10 and "Got 2 Luv U" (VP/Atlantic/Warner Music) by Sean Paul featuring Alexis Jordan opened at No. 11.
