Nothing sets off bridal white quite like the natural glow of a luscious tan. If you're anything like me, however, tans are hard to come by and painful burns are much more likely. Though there are many fake tanning options to be had, everyone should take pains to avoid looking like a Hollywood C-list reject.
Fortunately, there are several types of faux tans to be had. All you need is a product or two and a little bit of knowhow to get the job done.
Tanning beds are a popular option thanks to their ability to render an even, all-over tan. Unfortunately, these contraptions also come with some serious risks, like sunburn, UV radiation exposure and an overall increased risk of skin cancer. The vast majority of doctors and dermatologists strongly advise against their use.
Another option is a spray tan salon. They are effective and quick, but often pricey and disappointing when it comes to tan longevity.
A couple of options that are easier on the skin and wallet are home spray tans or lotions. Before you begin, bear in mind that these products can take some time to perfect. So, experiment in the weeks and months prior to your nuptials to avoid a fake tan-tastrophe.
For best results, try a couple of brands to see which one works best for your skin. As with most products, you'll probably get what you pay for. So to avoid truly cheap results, you might pick a slightly higher-end line. With any brand, it's not unusual to wind up with streaks or tanning lotion buildup around the cuticles, wrists or ankles.
If tanning spray or lotion is too much for you to commit to right out of the gate, consider a product that is primarily a lotion, but also features a mild self-tanner. That way you can apply it over time and avoid the instant pasty-to-Paris-Hilton look.
To simply amp up the glow in your facial area, consider face-tanning pads. These products are individually pre-moistened with tanning solution, plus they slide right on your hand for application, so the color won't affect your palm. Some even exfoliate simultaneously!
Before you tan in any way, shape or form, take note of the following tips to achieve best results:
- Exfoliate beforehand. You don't want to put liquid tanner on top of dead skin cells because it'll turn out looking very uneven.
- Moisturizing is key. Dry skin just doesn't hold the color as well as hydrated skin. So moisturize daily and pay special attention to areas prone to dryness, like the knees, wrists and feet. Let the lotion sink in well before applying liquid tanner.
- Wash off any deodorant beforehand and cover your eyebrows with a layer of moisturizer to avoid discoloration.
- When applying tanning spray or lotion, start from your feet and work your way up. Going the other direction will make you have to bend over during the application process and result in some odd tan lines.
- Gently going over your skin with a buffing mitt following application can help to prevent a splotchy or uneven tan. You'll probably need to recruit someone to help apply tanning lotion to your back and smooth it out after the fact.
- Right after application, wear dark loose clothing so you don't mark your clothes (so don't try this just before you don your white wedding dress!)
If you're unhappy with your results, simply use some self-tanner remover and try, try again. You'll achieve artificially sun-kissed skin in no time!

Sure, how else? It is physical work, which normally makes you sweat. Why should I wear clothes binge amongst the rising dry and hot air whilst ironing? That would be completely absurd!
Spring clean – nude of course! Being nude, I'm already sweating. What if the postman rings the doorbell because he needs to deliver a parcel? Cautious naturists ask before they open the door: "Does it bother you, if we are nude? Usually the answer comes after only a short pause for thought: mostly saying: "No, no, it doesn't bother me!". If you then open door and are actually only wearing sandals, you will sometimes be told: "Oh my, you are really nude!". But then when we offer to put something on, they don't this it is necessary. Soon everyone from couriers, postmen, and chimney sweeps will know, what to expect and nude encounters become an everyday matter of course.
Working on the computer – naturally nude. Thanks to the Internet, you can access (almost) all computers in the world from your office at home – combined with the freedom of working from home. For example, saving getting changed into unnecessary clothing when it's warm enough. Most companies have a certain standard for their employees when it comes to clothing. In some places this can go as far as the mandatory dark suit with a white shirt and tie.
Some time ago, when I had a visit from a real estate broker from a major bank, who wanted to inform himself before participating in a nude hike, whose company and hiking guidance he would entrust himself to. In a relaxed atmosphere, he first untied his silk tie, before we left for a few hours, where we talked about hiking in the buff and other nude activities.
I would accept tying a tie if the company image were at stake. But would I rather work without a shirt, trousers and jacket if the temperature were right! The quality of my work would be better – after all, multiple concentration problems, breaks to moan about sweating and all absences due to illness due to a summer cold due to working in sweaty clothes would be avoided. At tea time in the study, the invigorating drink provides a desired refreshment and encouragement. Only moments separate us from the nature-conscious enjoyment of a natural Darjeeling First Flush from the tea campaign, which is cultivated in a controlled and certified organic cultivation: delicious!
For more than 25 years, the tea campaign, initiated by Prof. Faltin (FU Berlin), has been famous for its revolutionary business concepts, that have been used, to mix up the market of the established tea industry and to market low-pollutant top Darjeelings in packages of 500 and 1000 g. Recently, the washing campaign (in German) is trying, to snatch market share from industry giants Unilever and Henkel with an environmentally friendly detergent concept - with beneficial approaches for the environment and for our wallets.
Basic principle is, to use a detergent whose composition corresponds to the hardness of the locally available water. This allows harmful substances (detergent surfactants and softening chemicals) to be avoided or reduced – to benefit all of us and the environment.
Adding oxygen bleach turns the normal (colour) detergents into a full detergent for white laundry. Find out about this alternative in good time, before you buy a industrial product from a supermarket shelf (then you will know, what your environmental impact is!).
Once a year, I choose a day for cleaning windows. When after the cold winter the day temperatures finally become bearable again, the view through the window panes must also become clear again. This can only be done before Easter, if Easter is late, but before Whitsun it is actually always possible.
As with all housework, I am naturally nude when cleaning windows. Once I was "caught" by my neighbour: "Oh, I thought you only hike in the buff," she asked. She has known my nudity for years. "No, of course I'm always nude, when it's warm enough. And when I'm cleaning windows, I quickly start sweating anyway, so clothes are exactly the wrong thing!", I replied. "I wonder if I'll try that.", she answered skeptically.

I've met many boys who were jerks
And well my friend set me up with this one boy
I thought he was gonna be another jerk
Turns out he actually cares about me and any of my other friends
Many of the boys I'd been with said they loved me but they all left me
This boy also said he loved me but I believe him
My friend thinks I finally find someone who won't leave me
I believe that too and really hope so
He cares about me a lot, he's really nice and funny
And he loves me and well…
I love him too
But I still wonder…Is he really the one?
Someone please tell me…Is he really the one?

Cyberpunk Bartending Sim
Some of my favourite people in the world have been bartenders. I mean, I didn't speak to many of them for more than ten minutes, and I know how it works – I used to tend bar too – you flirt for tips and for kicks. But a bartender has an uncanny way of being able to flip a switch in you. Not just with their sticky fluids, but also with their damn fine smiles, the ability to pay you attention for just those five minutes you want to order a drink after work. Sometimes you can make up stories about them, that the smile was really because you are the most handsome thing in the world, and they are going to Tom-Cruise-in-Cocktail you after their shift.
But ah, being the bartender. It's a different sort of thing all together. It's a real performance.
"Oh my god Cara," you say, leaning on the bar, staring me down. "Why has this column become Tom Cruise-themed?"
"Because, dear reader," I say, hitting the jukebox–
"I have gone vintage Cara. I have gone pop culture Cara. You are on my turf now. Today is about flirty bartenders and their relationship to their clients. Also jesus, I just remembered about 1988 Tom Cruise in Cocktail eyebrows."
"Okay," you say, shifting on the bar stool, "make me a gin martini how you like it." I detect a softening in your tone and it pleases me.
"I will," I purr. "I will make it dirty with video games."
VA-11 HALL-A is an as yet unreleased visual novel bartend-em-up for one player, whereby you work in a cyberpunk bar chatting to petulant droids, pissed off veterinarians, bubbly sex workers and overtly racist cybercorgis. Sukeban Games have only made a preview build so far, and I've been playing it over and over to see if I like the idea of their game. I would like you to note well that I know about this game because RPS columnist Cassandra Khaw told me about it and thought I'd like it, and she's employed part time by Sukeban Games. (Note also if your game is relevant to 'relationships', 'dating' or 'sex' in any way you should send me an email about it so I can also write about it. So few indie developers send me emails telling me about their games since I left on my travels.) Visual novels about cybercorgis and flirty bartenders are tops.
I have some reservations about VA-11 HALL-A, because it's trying such new territory, and I'm not sure what the final game will look like, but it suggests that people really are trying to think about relationships in games in new ways. This is exciting to me.
Point one: Relationships with characters throughout this game are mediated by your ability to bartend particular concoctions. Isn't that fascinating? That you might modify mood and behaviour through moral choices as a barkeep? Gone are the days when you could tend bar and light someone's cigarette, but in the punk cyberfuture you can mix chemicals into potent theatrical productions that play out in front of you.
This game is clearly all about relationships between characters, and the main design of the game speaks to how characters will respond to you and others through the player's involvement. It is centred on how you mediate relationships. But particularly in big budget games, a 'romance' design framework for player interaction with other non-player characters is often tacked on to the game that they assume the player really wants to play (i.e. Mr/Mrs Stabsville Goes To Interdimensonal Stab Party for Stabbings).
This particular big budget cocktail often makes relationships with other characters a secondary concern and marginalises its importance. Bioware's romances are often predicated on how much you initiate positive dialogue and give gifts in between battles, but rarely does it actually change your experience of battles. You can also usually complete 'quests' in these types of RPG that you know will please a certain character (see The Long Road). The goal in many western RPGs is to 'win' an awkward cutscene where your character frots the other in a genitalless, usually joyless manner. Or in Fahrenheit's case, you are asked to do the painful work of pressing buttons so that the frotting is all your fault. You monster.
How about a sip of something entirely different? Mitu Khandaker-Kokoris's Redshirt, a sort of disempowerment fantasy life sim set aboard a satirical sci-fi ship, takes these dating mechanics to their logical conclusion. You are mining NPCs for resources, and are committing barefaced manipulation to further your career. Mitu's game is entirely based upon your relationships and simulates a Facebook-like interface, which means that you end up dating people to actually be rewarded by 'points' or status in the game, rather than titillation or narrative reward. This game is entirely about relationships, though the flaw is that you have little interest in the romances themselves, rather what they do to your numbers. Goes down smooth, but you might be in the mood for something more emotionally involved. Perhaps something with a little sweetness.
Aha! I have something just for you, I can read it in your face. You need a pink cocktail.
Pure 'dating' games or visual novels have similar rigid tropes and were probably originally the inspiration for Bioware romance frameworks. But there is evolution going on. Christine Love's visual novels (which I really should write about, though RPS cover her work enthusiastically) tend to concern the voyeuristic 'uncovering' of elicit relationships that are already ongoing, which is much more exciting to experience than the traditional 'seek out and chat for ages until they like you' strand. What is also groundbreaking about Christine's work is that she made a game (Analogue: A Hate Story) that lets you actively flirt with a spaceship's AI, an AI that also later attempts to break the fourth wall, asking you to perform the act of her servitude physically, and upload evidence to Christine's website. Conversations in Love's work are much more nuanced and detailed than the average dating sim, and flow better too.
Hmm. Something everyone likes. Well, my favourite bar Dragonfly used to make a Burntisland Iced Tea. This is a cocktail roughly equivalent to The Sims, I think.
Soap opera/AI dolls house game The Sims has been interesting one, because through years of evolution in design, the little AI Sims in Sims 4 are now born into your game a bisexual monogamist (a political stance if I ever saw one in game design) and are influenced in their romantic leanings by who they spend their time with and your personal preference for who your Sim uses the 'flirt' conversation options on. However, there's still that status bar there where you are 'persuading' the other Sim to like you via romantic interactions. There are 'stages' of the relationship your Sim has to negotiate in order to 'date', 'kiss', touch each other and 'WooHoo' (sex), and I thought it was interesting to note that Sims wouldn't sleep in the same double bed with each other until after First WooHoo. You also, in true Spaced fashion, cannot WooHoo before you've even decided to kiss each other. I guess this may be a veiled nod to the American 'base' system (ref: American Pie) although we'll never see a Sim give head this side of kingdom… come.
It's interesting to note that, in terms of relationships between characters, no one's really got past the 'yes' to flirt button, 'no' to dampen button, 'meh' to be Business, however, unless you dive deep into the rare interactive fiction romance. And let's drink to forget the Oblivion conversation wheel, shall we.
Come closer. Let's change up the jukebox. Try 'Neon District'.
That overworn yes/no/maybe interaction is where VA-11 HALL-A might offer some promise. Conversations happen in front of you, the bartender with the magnificent cyberpunk jukebox, and they ask you for a cocktail they'd like to drink. The recipe appears before you, and you have five exotic chemicals to mix it from, each bound to a key on the keyboard. It takes a little skill to learn the fingers that will mix you a drink, and there's a bonus for a fast serve.
From dialogue, you can slowly deduce which chemical is the most alcoholic. Some characters will ask for no alcohol, but the option is there to mix it in. Sometimes you can mix the wrong drink by shaking it too hard until it's 'blended', whereby your customer will think you are incompetent. Mix the wrong recipe or mess it up too many times, and your boss will fire you.
But you can strategically fluff it sometimes, or change the ingredients, producing different results from the bar's denizens, altering their mood. And there's always the 'designated driver': the power is in your hands – you can sneak in alcohol to their drink or keep your morals intact.
The most interesting thing about VA-11 HALL-A is that bartending mechanism: binding ingredients to your left hand on the keyboard, choosing aged or on the rocks, and shaking for just the right amount of time, means that this is a game where you can challenge yourself to actually get good at virtual bartending. There's a tutorial mode where you can test your memory of each cocktail and how to make it in record time, but I do wish that there was a library of cocktails to check and memorize like Virtua Fighter 2 move menus: recipes are currently bound to customer orders and only show in the main story.
The idle conversation of your clients is interesting if a little heavy-handed in the prologue. A droid discusses prosthetic enhancements, prejudices against the cybernetically-enhanced are made known, the aformentioned cybercorgis mobbing the bar are involved in perpetuating some sort of racist employment policy at their corporation. This is the part most likely to be difficult – the 'decisions' you make as a bartender are entirely based on the cocktails you serve and not on your dialogue selections like other visual novels, which could take a little while to get used to. It can get very annoying just clicking through conversations where there's no drama yet, without the opportunity to make a stimulating decision. And there was only a little flirting available.
It's exciting to see some thought being devoted to how the relationship between players and NPCs might change however; this game's success will certainly depend on the strength of its writing and how much of an impact can be made on characters through the subtlety of shaking a delicately prepared cocktail. But the creators are currently seeking feedback on their game, which is due out in December, so if you want to give them $5 to try it out, you can at the appropriately-named waifubartending.com.

Thanks to a study conducted an the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, video professionals finally know how many viewers will stay away from a site after a poor video viewing experience. According to Ramesh K. Sitaraman, a computer science professor at the university and an Akamai fellow, viewers are 2.3 percent less likely to return to a site after getting frustrated by a video and leaving.
Sitaraman's study is the first large-scale study of online video viewing behavior. He and S. Shunmuga Krishnan, who is employed at Akamai, analyzed 23 million video views and 216 minutes of video playing time conducted by 6.7 million unique viewers around the world. The data was supplied by Akamai.
The study looked at issues such as video freezing, and quantified how much less engaged viewers are when the video they're watching freezes. If an online video freezes for one percent of its duration, the viewer will watch five percent less on average.
Viewers have little patience for videos that don't start immediately. After a two second wait, viewers begin to turn away. For every additional one second wait, the abandonment rate goes up by nearly six percent. That rate isn't consistent, however: viewers have more patience with higher-value content, such as movies, than with brief clips. Also, mobile viewers have more patience that home users with fiber connections, because they have different expectations. Those with speedy connections are used to fast startup times and tune away immediately when their expectations aren't met.
This study, titled "Video Stream Quality Impacts Viewer Behavior: Inferring Causality using Quasi-Experimental Designs," will be presented tomorrow at the Internet Measurement Conference in Boston, Massachusetts.
"Anyone who owns media needs to know about this, because they need to know how their viewers behave," says Sitaraman.

Finding "The One"

"How do I know when I've found The One?" – Austin, Baltimore, MD
This idea of finding "The One" is problematic for relationships. The paradox of choice creates a real sense of anxiety for people looking to find a long-term partner. The expectations of one person to satisfy all of our many emotional, physical, and spiritual needs is a tall order for one individual.
Perhaps, instead of looking for a person who checks all the boxes, focus on a person with whom you can imagine yourself writing a story with that entails edits and revisions. As a reminder, there are no perfect stories.
How do you continue to re-write your story with your partner? I'd love to hear your story in the comments below.

We are proud to announce that Real-Zymes™ Keto has received an award from NEXTY as the best new supplement of 2019
World's Only Keto Enzymes
There are lots of digestive enzyme supplements out there, but none are like Real-Zymes™ Keto. Most are "One Size Fits All," which means they're built to digest some theoretical, average meal that no one eats. They don't have nearly enough lipase (fat digesting enzymes) for KETO meals. Others, which say they're made for KETO diets, provide lots of lipase (fat digesting enzymes) but not nearly enough protease (protein digesters) and nearly nothing to break down carbs.
To feel well after eating a KETO meal, you have to digest it all, so you need high levels of protein and fat digesting enzymes with lower levels of carbohydrate digesters. You also need enzymes that work in the upper stomach, lower stomach and small intestine. Digestive enzymes for keto is important.
Real-Zymes™ Keto enzymes are designed for the sole purpose of digesting complete KETO meals quickly, completely and efficiently.
Each keto enzymes capsule contains enzymes sufficient to break down at least 54 grams of protein (for those who get up to 30% of their calories from protein), 60 grams of fats (up to 75% of calories) and 25 grams of carbs (14% of calories).
KETO eaters try to keep carbs to 25 grams for the entire day, but many eat twice that amount, and often eat all their carbs at one meal. If you don't have the enzymes you need to digest all these things, you don't have a true KETO support system, and you won't feel your best.
Put simply, Real-Zymes™ KETO is the world's finest digestive aid for those who follow KETO plans. In fact, it's guaranteed to outperform anything else you've ever used. Just take a capsule with each meal, and you'll notice instant improvement. You'll see:
- ✔ Relief from Constipation and Diarrhea
- ✔ Relief from Gas, Bloating and Extreme Fullness
- ✔ Improved Regularity
- ✔ Increased Energy Levels
- ✔ Relief from Heartburn and Indigestion
- ✔ Virtually Anything Else Caused by Poor Digestion
Real-Zymes™ KETO is made in a cGMP certified facility in the United States. It provides 19 different enzymes to complete every step of protein, fat and carbohydrate digestion. A true keto enzyme solution.
It also provides L-Glutamine to help nourish the brush border area of your small intestine where some of your own enzymes are made, a special complex of magnesium, zinc, trace minerals and ATP to activate and multiply enzymatic activity and the world's hardiest strain of probiotics to help renew vital intestinal flora. Real-Zymes keto enzymes, your partner in healthy KETO eating.

One capsule once daily. Preferably 15 minutes before a meal.

I was very excited to read about the conference on Care for Creation (CNY, Editor's Report, Nov. 8). I also was inspired by Pope Francis' "Laudato Si." I have always been concerned about the environment but felt frustrated by how little I could do. Turns out I can do a lot. Three years ago, I first read about the encyclical. Then a few days later I saw a documentary called "Cowspiracy." In it they showed how it was more polluting to eat meat than to drive a car. Overnight, I stopped eating meat, chicken, fish, dairy and all other animal products. I feel so much healthier and have lost some extra pounds.
In the three years since, I have educated myself about the factory farms where most of our meat comes from. Animals are routinely mistreated and tortured before their final slaughter. People that work in slaughterhouses, often migrants, are subject to severe injuries and particular types of cancers.
I invite my fellow Catholics to educate themselves on plant-based nutrition. It will go a long way toward cleaning the oceans, the air we breathe and the environment. It will be an act of kindness toward farmers who are at risk of losing their farms. Thank you, Pope Francis, for encouraging me to do more for God's beautiful creation.

When the Time Is Right, Choose a Great Water Heater
Water heaters have evolved a lot in recent years. When your current water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan, Tomasso Bros. is here to help you purchase a replacement unit that meets your needs and reduces your hot water expenses.
We are very particular about the equipment we put in our customers' homes and businesses. Through our 70 years of serving New Jersey customers, we understand water heating equipment, and we know the best brands.
We think you will agree about the important features of new water heating equipment.
- It must deliver all the hot water you need.
- It must be reliable.
- It must be durable.
- Whatever your price point is, your new water heater should deliver great value.
- It must be energy efficient and appropriately sized for your needs.
With these criteria in mind, we proudly install water heaters from A.O. Smith and American Water Heaters. Both brands are innovative and consistently deliver cutting-edge products, such as solar thermal water heaters and wall-hung tankless units. These manufacturers are also deeply committed to quality and sell water heaters that last for many years.
- Water heaters come in many types, including these primary categories.
- Oil, gas and electric water heaters that have their own built-in heating units and store hot water in insulated tanks.
- Tankless water heaters that heat water on demand and do not require storage tanks. These are often wall-hung.
- Hybrid electric heat pump water heaters that use heat pump technology, which can be highly efficient.
- Solar thermal water heaters that use solar panels and transfer the sun's heat directly to hot water in a storage tank.
Tomasso Bros. is happy to inspect your water tank and let you know the likely lifespan and when you should plan for a replacement. We will also educate you about the different water heater options and help you select the optimum size.

Benefits Of Buying Alcohol From Online Stores
Now, the trend has been changed a lot. These days, people would like to do what others do regardless of what are they and what is their situation. At present, you cannot find parties and other occasions without serving wines that much wine drinking is becoming a must among people. In order to make the parties memorable and granting a kind of good gesture to their guests, people would like to serve wine at parties and other social events. Before some days, people were buying wines without the knowledge of their family members in order to safeguard their respect, but now, everything is happening with no hiding. Now, people buy wines online and offline, they do not mind whether or not their family members know about this. These days, having wines is not reckoned as a bad or disliking habit, rather having wines is reckoned as a formality or good gesture. In order to grant people the easiest way to buy wines, a lot of online wine stores have been opened. All you have to do is to explore various wine stores and choose the wine store that you find best for you. In online wine stores, you can get wines at cheaper rates.

A few hours later, Chel was sitting in the gate room, Zeta sprawled out on her lap and still sniffling a bit. "Zeta really sorry …" He whined. "Was excited and wanted to help, Lexx." Chel patted his head, amazed that he wasn't' cold and clammy, but warm and soft. She really felt sorry for him.
"It's ok, I'm sure." Chel consoled the dice.
Lexx sat on his couch, drinking deeply out of one of his mugs. He was anxious, but that feeling was going away after a little additive to the drink. He had to retain control and not be given to the exasperation that was creeping through his body and mind. There were times he felt as though he was going to explode and he'd come close to it on the planet. The dice were safe and okay, but he might lose two days because of their knock outs.
While his nanos worked to keep his body in check, they didn't do anything for the anxiety, the choking sensation, racing heartbeat and loss of breath. The additives relaxed him, even though they didn't last long as the nanos always cleaned them out of his system, but it'd last long enough for him to be able to deal with Chel. He knew she would come and say something and he would have to stop her. Lexx would have to dodge the questions. There were things that Chel didn't need to know.
Then, she arrived. Lexx didn't look up, but he could hear her walking. She stopped directly in front of him. "Don't talk. You don't understand." Those were the first words out of his mouth. He didn't want to talk at all. No questions. He didn't want to deal with them.
Chel wasn't to be stopped. Lexx hadn't hurt her and she felt as though he wouldn't. She wasn't afraid of him, at all. She wasn't going to let his posturing get in the way of her need to put things right in the world, or rather, around the world. "I've seen enough to know you're cruel and heartless."
Lexx didn't look up, immediately responding, "You haven't SEEN cruel and heartless, then." Despite the additives, his chest started to ache. The accusation really cut through him, mainly because he couldn't be specific.

It is crucial that we don't see the Turkish protests merely as a secular civil society rising up against an authoritarian Islamist regime supported by a silent Muslim majority. What complicates the picture is the protests' anti-capitalist thrust: protesters intuitively sense that free-market fundamentalism and fundamentalist Islam are not mutually exclusive. The privatisation of public space by an Islamist government shows that the two forms of fundamentalism can work hand in hand: it's a clear sign that the 'eternal' marriage between democracy and capitalism is nearing divorce.

Stricken with tumor, Flint area father asks Iran to free son
NOVI (AP) -- The father of an ex-Marine held on spying charges in Iran has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is pleading to see his son before he dies.
Amir Hekmati was born in Arizona and raised in Michigan. His parents live in the Flint area, where father Ali Hekmati teaches at Mott Community College.
His family says the elder Hekmati had a stroke, and surgery at Providence Park Hospital in Novi found he had a brain tumor.
Ali Hekmati's son-in-law Bilal Kurdi says he hopes Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's appearance Wednesday at the U.N. in New York offers a chance to plea again for Amir Hekmati's release on humanitarian grounds.
The U.S. State Department denies Iran's accusation that Amir Hekmati was a CIA spy.

Once you have located unknown family members, wouldn't you like to know if you are, in fact, biologically related to them? People researching their family tree spend large amounts of time and money during their research. Wouldn't you like to know if the results you find are accurate? A DNA test can give you that information. The tests performed can be helpful in determining many different family relationships and help you expand your family tree. DNA testing can be a valuable tool to help people who are interested in tracing their genealogy or ancestry.
DNA Tests for Ancestry
A DNA test can provide valuable information about biological relationships between potential living relatives. These tests can provide information that can lead to linking common ancestors and answer otherwise unanswered questions about a person's family tree. The results of a DNA test could help you find unknown family members and provide information that leads to finding out what geographic location your ancestors migrated from.
There are many options offered by accredited laboratories that could help the search for answers about possible family relationships. A siblingship test can be conducted to determine if two children share one or both parents. Genetic reconstruction can be done to determine whether or not someone is related to a parent's close relatives, such as an uncle or aunt. It is an indirect way of determining family relationships when the possible father is unavailable for testing. DNA tests can also be done to determine if someone is a descendant of a Native American and to determinegrandparentage.
Y-STR and mtDNA Technology
These tests are a result of advances in DNA testing technology that could give people researching their ancestry definitive answers. In addition to other forms of technology, accredited laboratories use a combination of two types of tests. The Y-STR Paternal Lineage Test and the mtDNA Maternal Lineage Test can determine lines of ancestry to determine relationships between more distant relatives.
The Y-STR test is used to determine whether or not two or more males are related through their fathers (through the paternal or male line). The results of this test are used to confirm biological relatives. This test examines the Y chromosome because the information carried on them is inherited largely intact over time. The information carried on this chromosome remains relatively unchanged over generations. Although some mutations occasionally occur, the Y chromosome is not changed with each new generation. Therefore, an actual genetic record of a male line going back through time exists as clear a marker of paternal heritage as a father's family name.
A tangible timekeeper of history, the Y chromosome allows us to trace human evolution, track migration patterns, determine relatedness in groups of people, and answer paternity questions going back generations. Although Y-STR analysis cannot distinguish between males who belong to the same paternal line, it is useful for excluding males from an alleged biological relationship. For example, if a male child and his alleged paternal uncle are tested, their Y-STR profiles must match in order to determine a biological familial relationship. If they do not match, then the possible uncle is excluded as a biological relative of the child.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited through the maternal line. This means that all sons and daughters inherit their mother's mtDNA. mtDNA is maternally inherited which enables researchers to trace lineage far back in time. The mutations that occur in mtDNA over time make certain regions of the mtDNA very unique to a family line. Biologists can build an evolutionary tree depending on how conserved or divergent the sequences happen to be. This test will determine if two people share a common female ancestor.
Where the Y-STR test can only be performed on males, determining ancestry along the paternal line, the mtDNA test can be performed on both males and females. The mtDNA test gives answers to help form connections along the mother's familial line. Everyone from the same maternal line will have similar mtDNA sequences.

Natural Slate Sills
Slate for window sills can add a beautiful finishing touch to both traditional and contemporary properties. Being either internal or external slate is weatherproof and hard-wearing, they're also simple to fit and once in place can provide years of low-maintenance service.
At Harri James we hand craft the slate to your specifications making it bespoke to you. The sills are all calibrated to thicknesses for ease of installation and better aesthetics. We can cut sills in lengths up to 2.2 meters and where 'jointing' is unavoidable we work to push the slate up close, so that the joint is almost invisible to the eye. Leaving only a hairline joint in place, achieving a beautiful and natural look.
We have a variety of finishes ranging from chamfered, bullnose, mini bullnose, square and aged. The slate has a naturally smooth surface adding quality and durability to any project.
For ideas, or a viewing of our completed work from previous customers, see our photos below. Feel free to contact us for any questions or queries you may have and for a free quote with no obligations.

2017 Black Rock Artist in Residence Call for Artists
WINNEMUCCA – The Bureau of Land Management Winnemucca District (BLM) and Friends of Black Rock High Rock (FBR) are soliciting artists for this year's Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area (NCA) Artist in Residence (AiR) program. This project is sponsored by the BLM in partnership with FBR. Applications will be accepted until March 31, 2017.
Selected artists will schedule residencies for two weeks in May or June 2017. They will be required to create at least one piece of artwork inspired by the Black Rock Desert NCA that will be featured in an exhibition in the summer or fall of 2017. Artists will receive a $350 stipend from FBR for developing their work as well as room and board for the duration of their residency.
"The diversity and skill level of the artists previously chosen for the Artist-in-Residence program is impressive, and we look forward to choosing two artists to participate in this year's program," says Michael Myers, Executive Director of FBR in a press release.
The Artist-in-Residence program promotes awareness through art of the exceptional places protected within the BLM's National Conservation Lands. The program provides an opportunity for learning and dialogue regarding the value of preserving public lands.
"The Black Rock Field Office is pleased to continue the AiR Program for 2017 in partnership with Friends of Black Rock High Rock. Each year we receive amazing applications from artists with diverse perspectives expressed in a variety of media," says Kathy Ataman, AiR Project Lead for the BLM.

So you need a little edge?
Maybe a candlelit dinner in Gatlinburg and a leisurely stroll through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is not your idea of "a fun celebration". If you need a little edge or more thrill after you say, "I do" then read on to discover some ideas for your offbeat wedding day.
We love our couples! Each set is so unique, has their own unique story and their own special "vibe". Some couples come with big wedding dresses, tux, and tails. Then there are others who celebrate their individuality in ways that are special to them as they follow their hearts.
Sierra & Jonathon
Sierra and Jonathon recently Eloped to the Mountains here at Bluff Mountain Inn. We asked Sierra to share their love story so we could share it on our blog!
"Wow! That's awesome. We would love that! We actually met through a mutual friend. He and I worked at the same place (he worked there twice) but we never worked together!
This mutual friend, his name is Jimmy, was my absolute best friend. We did everything together and we were going out for drinks one night and Jonathan happened to tag along since he knew Jimmy and was close with his as well.
We tried to deny ourselves the instant connection because we both just got out of serious relationships. I, a few days later, asked for his number.
I thought about him every single day until I asked. I thought he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. After Jimmy got his approval for giving me the number, I sparked conversation. I actually came onto him.
He agreed he had felt the same way. We met May 24, 2014, and after those first few days when we finally spoke again, we've been together ever since. We both agree we are each other's best friends and better halves.
We've both made each other better people. Grown together, the chemistry is all the way there. We describe ourselves as a power couple; a team. Neither of us is behind the other. We stand beside one another through it all. Every step of life.
We help each other out and can depend on the opposite person. Together, we really can accomplish anything."
Our photographers had some great fun with this couple.
It's so true that every couple is unique. If that candlelit dinner in Gatlinburg and a leisurely stroll through the woods is not your idea of the ideal wedding celebration or if you need a few more thrills after you say, "I do", here are some ideas we came up with that our area of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have to offer after your wedding.
- Skydiving- talk about an adrenaline rush! As if preparing to walk down the isle wasn't exciting enough, this will top it off! Skydive East Tennessee takes you 11,000 feet in the air. Wearing a tandem parachute, you and your instructor will freefall for 45 seconds, reaching 120 mph before deploying the chute. The 5 minute decent will offer views that cannot be seen any other way.
- Tattoos- The area offers many great tattoo parlors. We suggest Southern Draw due to their professionalism and exceptional cleanliness. Matching tattoos would be cool! But I think the rule-of-thumb to not get someone's name tattooed on your body may still apply here.
- Tuckaleechee Caverns- Our national park is beautiful! Don't get us wrong, but maybe you're looking for something off of nature's beaten path. The Tuckaleechee Caverns is a mile long descent 150 feet underground. Along with the impressive geological formations, there is a crystal clear stream that flows throughout the cave.
- Wonderworks- This indoor amusement park offers over 100 hands-on exhibits. You will pass through the inversion tunnel where you will have to realign yourself to experience this entertainment. Has lying on a bed of nails ever crossed your mind? Or maybe you've wanted to try climbing a rock wall. This place will keep you busy for hours.
- Alcatraz East Museum- Viewing the white Ford Bronco that OJ used as a getaway car may not be the most romantic thing, but this museum offers an in-depth look at American crime. This museum is not entirely dedicated to Alcatraz and is divided into 5 different galleries of crime.
