The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations
"The Left Finds Their Demographic," Dave Carter writes at Ricochet:
...the President explains that his only failing is in not dumbing things down enough to correct our deficient appreciation for the wreckage his initiatives have wrought. The problem isn't a shrinking work force, you understand, or a record number months of unemployment over 8 percent, or a first-ever downgraded national credit rating, or a national debt equal to GDP, or record numbers of people on public assistance, or a healthcare law whose costs have tripled before it's even implemented. No, the problem is that the President hasn't administered enough intellectual novocaine to numb the minds of people who are smart enough to see that his utopian pipe dream isn't working.
Then the thought occurred that he really isn't talking to us! His shabby confession of inadequacy was little more than noblesse oblige at discount prices. And he's not talking to the independent voters either. They are deserting him via the nearest stampede. His only hope is the only audience that still believes him. Who are they? Listen to the leader of Women in NAACP, Charlotte Stoker Manning who, while discussing Governor Romney's speech to that organization, let slip liberalism's mask of altruism: "You cannot possibly talk about jobs for black people at the level he's coming from. He's talking about entrepreneurship, savings accounts -- black people can barely find a way to get back and forth from work." Evidently, the idea that Governor Romney can speak as an adult, in a room full of adults, is quite too much for Ms. Manning, whose degrading and racist remarks are about the most repugnant thing to come along in awhile. But at least she illuminates the President's target demographic.
As Red State contributor Moe Lane wrote yesterday, "The Left tacitly admits: Mitt Romney hit a home run at the NAACP on Wednesday. How do we know this? Because they're all FREAKING OUT about it today." So much so that in Manning's case, she was willing to drop the mask, and have her own equivalent of Obama's "bitter clinger moment," his defining Kinsley-esque gaffe of 2008.

Buy This For Me: Futuristic Skiing Quad Quadski (Video)
Come on. It's only around $40K. I prefer the blue one, please and thanks. I promise to fight crime while I ride around on it.
Here is some technical information about this thing. I'm too busy having an absolute seizure at how cool it looks driving over land and water and oh man when it really hits the gas on the water? That's pretty rad.
Newly Patented: Handcuffs That Can Electrocute, Inject You With Drugs
If you think the recorded instances of police brutality popping up all over the internet are bad now, just wait until authorities begin using a new set of handcuffs that have just been approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. Not only can they deliver shocks between 20,000 and 150,000 for up to ten second durations or at an "intermittent frequency," but they can also inject the detainee with sedatives if they're being extra naughty.
Don't worry; a loud noise emitted by the handcuffs is designed to "warn" the detainee that he or she better shut the hell up before getting zapped and stabbed with a needle full of horse tranquilizer.
Soon, the police will no longer have to so much as extend an arm to taser the shit out of an individual who is already rendered a non-threat by the handcuffs bounding his or her arms behind the back. Murder will be as simple as pressing a button, literally.
But the handcuffs also record which officer administered what, alongside a reason for doing so, so the media will be able to blame the victim in some way or at least tell us who got off with only one month of docked pay.
This little gem was created by Scottsdale Inventions, who plans to license the technology to a manufacturer that already works with law enforcement agencies.
Canned Conversations: Talking on the Toilet
If you're human, you must heed the call of nature. When we say "call" we mean it in every way possible. However, in the age of technology, the call of nature may be accompanied by a smartphone, like a Samsung Galaxy S. More and more people feel the necessity to have their phone or mobile device on them at all times, even at the most private of moments. What could they possibly be doing in there? Check out the most popular uses of mobile devices while on the throne and learn who's using them the most by age and gender.
Make More Money Using Affirmations And The Law Of Attraction
How to Use Affirmations And Law Of Attraction To Improve Your Health Wealth and Happiness
Life is defined by what is happening in the mind. People often do not think about how much control the brain has. But the fact is that anything that you feel, whether pain, illness, or joy will be derived from the mind. Something similar can be said of external circumstances. There is a sense in which the way that you perceive the world will affect how the world perceives you. It could bring you to either make the most of your time on earth or struggle throughout all of your days. There are a few ways in which a few positive affirmations can help you to improve your health, wealth, and happiness.
What Is An Affirmation?
An affirmation is a positive statement that you tell yourself about your life. It is not a vain chant or an incantation. It is a way to develop your self-image. When you convince yourself that you are a loser, that you are no good, that you cannot get that job, then those things are more likely to happen. However, when you tell yourself positive things, you will become convinced of them and pursue them more fervently and with a positive attitude. A few examples of positive affirmations are:
• I am full of joy no matter the circumstances
• I am a catch
• I am valuable
• I will treat my body like a temple
• I am stronger than my addiction
Your Self-Confidence
When you go into a job interview, the potential employer can only see what you give her. If you have your head down, afraid to make eye contact or speak directly and firmly, she is going to notice that. You are projecting the way that you see yourself for everybody else, and that will become the way that they see you. When you use positive affirmations, then you will begin to convince yourself that you are worth something; you are good enough to do the job. In this sense, using positive affirmations will boost your self-confidence. In doing so, it will make you more competent in different circumstances that may arise. You can also seek good coaching.
Letting People Walk All Over You
After a long day on the job, you are really looking forward to that lunch break. But three minutes before it begins, an old acquaintance gives you a call and asks you to borrow some money. You are already pretty tapped, and she is insisting that you drive across town now (she knows it is your lunch break) and lets her borrow it. A person with low self-esteem will feel as though they owe something to the world and they need to let others control their lives.
But by using positive affirmations, you will know that you are worth more than that. You do not have to let other people dictate how you are supposed to live your life. You do not have to make major sacrifices or live to please them. Self-affirmations can help you to accomplish this. By developing healthy boundaries in your relationships, you will become a much happier person.
Physical Wellness
Physicians often want their patients to have a positive outlook, especially when they are undergoing cancer treatment. A positive attitude can make a major difference. Everything that occurs in the body, even illness, can ultimately be controlled by the brain. If you tell yourself that you are not sick, that you are in good health, that you will beat any illness that comes, you will find that you are in overall better health.
Positive affirmations are a good resource for self-improvement. They are not magic spells. They are a psychological exercise designed to improve your health, wealth, and happiness.
All of these tips help you create a positive law of attraction in your life. It should really just be called the law of vibration because we attract to ourselves what we are in vibration with. Let me just give you a good video by Bob Proctor that explains it better than I can.
Run a Successful Online Marketing Campaign With SEO
How to Run a Successful Online Marketing Campaign
It's no exaggeration to say that many people with websites learn about marketing through "trial and error." If you want to run a successful online marketing campaign, check out the strategies below.
Identify The End Goal
This isn't just some talk, before your digital marketing campaign begins, identify what is your overall goal. Do you want to attract new readers? Or is the goal to gain additional visitors to your blog or website? Whatever the end goal is, write it down and make that your only focus.
Don't look at another website and copy whatever marketing efforts they have. There are numerous articles online with tips about links and backlinks. But, keep in mind these are SEO strategies which only work if you already have a pretty decent following. If your end goal is to sell your product or service and that's it. Well, skip right to online guerrilla marketing techniques.
Use Guerrilla Marketing Techniques
Online guerrilla marketing is for anyone who's determined to succeed online, no matter what it takes. Start by using every available social media platform. Follow people who are in the demographic population your product or service is geared towards. Then tweet, post and interact as much as possible to establish your online presence.
The aim is to create a buzz about your business and use blog posts and content to drive home the major selling points. Always keep the target audience in mind. Not everything works for everybody. You can use guerrilla marketing to save money and resources, to uncover how to get your demographic interested in what you're offering. Why guerrilla marketing? Because the point is to create a buzz without spending a lot of money. Once you find out what works, then you can put more resources behind it.
Don't overlook the obvious, join a Facebook group, throw a LinkedIn networking event, or start a LinkedIn group. If you can, use social media to giveaway something free. It can be simple, such as free eBook or some other small token gift.
Ensure That Your Online Campaign Takes Off
Once you've established an online presence for your website, blog or brand; be prepared to put some energy and imagination into your efforts. Online marketing only works if you're passionate about succeeding. It's not that every online business owner is operating on a shoestring budget. Even if you have adequate funding, find a unique way to develop your own successful techniques.
Look for a different approach. If you tried an online marketing technique in the past and it didn't work. Don't scrap it completely. Sometimes all it takes is a slight adjustment. Make tweaks and changes, if you launch an online campaign and after 21-30 days there isn't much activity.
Basics In Successful Online Marketing
- Identify the target audience
- Pitch to that audience
- Use social media feeds
- Create content
- Buy content ads on various social media platforms
- Build your campaign around your target audience
- Define your actions, what are selling?
- Consider using paid per click ads
- Use a call to action
You will need search engine optimization, specific keywords (long-tail) and email marketing, a brand specific blog with updated content and share buttons.
If you have the budget, look into a SEO audit and a website audit to identify elements that could be improved. Don't be discouraged if the online marketing campaign doesn't work on the first try. Look to retool it and try again. Perform tests with small paid ads to gauge interest and to generate leads.

5 Items You Need in Order to Survive a Natural Disaster
5 Items You Need in Order to Survive a Natural Disaster
Natural disasters can occur anytime, anywhere and when they do you need to be prepared. Examples of natural disasters are landslides, avalanches, droughts, floods, a Tsunami, volcanic eruptions, tornados, earthquakes and hurricanes.
What do you need to survive?
To survive a natural disaster, there are at least five items you need, lets take a look:
#1. Water is the number one need when a natural disaster occurs.
It is important to store away one gallon of water for each person for three days. However, if you live in a warm, humid climate, you may need more. Be careful not to open containers of commercially bottled water. Instead, store them in a cool, dark place and replace them every six months. In addition, it is also important to keep some water purification tablets or a water filter on hand. Some survival experts say that it is better to purchase a water filter because they catch bacteria as well as other contaminants. Water is necessary in surviving a natural disaster because it prevents a heart attack, gives your brain a boost and keeps you alert.
Another item you need to survive a natural disaster is:
#2 non-perishable food and a manual can opener.
The following items are essential for you and your family to survive: powdered or boxed milk, canned, boxed and dried food, ground coffee, tea in bags and several bottles of vegetable cooking oil. In addition, a pair of scissors will come in handy, too. Also, cereal, rice cakes, nuts and walnuts, boxed cookies and pop tarts will help see you through, too. Making sure you have enough non-perishable food will keep you going and give you the energy and vitamins you need to get through a natural disaster.
Most importantly, be sure to have on hand a:
#3 a portable cook stove and matches or a solar oven.
Review several camp-size cook stoves. Skilled Survivor has some great options on their site. They can come in handy for heating food and boiling water for coffee or tea. If you need to start a small fire, use the matches to start the fire. However, to ensure that the matches work when you need them, keep them in a waterproof container. Purchase some paper plates, napkins, cups and utensils. They will come in handy and will make preparing food easier.
#4 Radios, flashlights and lamps—a must!
Perhaps the most needed and used items that you will need during an emergency are radios, flashlights and lamps. These can be battery, solar or hand-crank items. There may be no lights available; therefore you will need flashlights and lamps. In addition, to stay current with what is going on during an emergency, you need a radio—perhaps more than one. If they are battery operated, make sure that you always have the right size and amount of batteries. Keep the batteries in a dry area. Some are keeping emergency needs in a small safe somewhere in their home.
#5 Include a first aid kit
Also, be sure to purchase and have on hand at all times, a first aid kit. This first aid kit should also include a whistle. Inside the first aid kit you should have some kind of antiseptic, bandages in several sizes, gauze, a thermometer, antibiotic cream, anti-diarrhea medication, pain reliever, extra medications that certain family members use, sterile gloves and sterile dressings to stop bleeding. Keep in mind; a quality first aid kit can be bought at your local drug store or you can also buy it online. Also, think about adding a couple of whistles; they can come in handy if you are trying to get the attention of emergency workers. (Be sure to set up an area where you can get to prescription medication.)
Cell phones and chargers
We all know how important cell phones are to our daily lives; they are even more important during an emergency. Unless cell phones are charged, they are no good. However, solar-powered charges can do the job and if you have a car adapter, it can charge Androids and iPhones. Another item that can certainly come in handy during an emergency is a small tent. If you can't stay in your home or all nearby shelters are full up, a tent can save the day. If you have a car that survived the emergency, blankets, food, water and a first aid kit can get you through for several days.
To conclude, natural disasters can occur anytime, anywhere and when they do you need to be prepared. Find out more about being prepared for a natural disaster and get the best in survival gear at skilledsurvivor.com.

Vaping with E-Liquids and E-Juices
Vaping with E-Liquids and E-Juices
The reason why e-juice or e-liquid is easily the most crucial element of electronic cigarettes is because one can't delight in the optimal/optimally flavor together with taste without this specific solution. If people purchase e-cigarettes, they also need to buy e-liquid later on too. E-liquids come in various flavors, which might or might not comprise nicotine. So, choose the best e-liquid holds great significance to your general vaping experience. Folks who are a newcomer to this always like to buy disposable cartomizers for simplicity of use and convenience, but men and women who look to conserve money must put money into the refillable cartridges and e liquid bottles. As soon as an atomizer gets damaged, your vape isn't going to generate a wholesome plume of vapor.
If you employ the drip approach to refilling the cartridges, you would have to open up the ecig cartridge and get rid of the polyester filling, in the cartridge. Following is the procedure in which you may fill the cartridges. In case the cartridge appears white and cottony, then it's time to refill the cartridge.
Electronic cigarettes are very effectual in assisting those people who are trying to stop smoking. It is an ideal way to stop smoking as it gives the same inhaling effect as a normal cigarette gives, and therefore, it is not at all difficult for smokers to switch over to it. The e-cigarette is a system that's used to emulate smoking. Since, it launched on the market, large number of smokers found a successful alternative to terminate their age-old cigarette smoking habit. It is possible to find electronic cigarette in an assortment of flavors along with the standard tobacco flavors. Electronic cigarettes are beginning to turned into one of the most wanted nicotine producing product on the industry. 1 method has become the e-cigarette.
The E cig is rechargeable and that means you will only have to purchase the cartridges once every so often which is it. Before you choose to buy your first e cigarette, a good idea is to research the many brands which are available on the market. You don't know whether you have discovered the top e cigarette but it does give you lots of choice. As you start looking for your very own top e cigarette you are likely to find many great shopping ideas.
Some make inexpensive liquid, while some earn more gourmet e-Liquids. E liquid is the indispensable section of an ecigarette. These E liquids can be found various websites online. The vapor may have a taste and strength exactly like an actual cigarette. In case you aren't seeking to create large quantities vapor, this is the very best liquid for you. Additionally, it creates the greatest quantity of vapor possible.
In addition, there are some difficulties with electronic cigarettes generally speaking, that vary with the different brands. A standard issue with e-cigs is leaking. On the opposite hand as an individual gets more seasoned, an individual may actually take pleasure in the procedure for picking the best e liquid flavors which most represent an individual's tastes.
There are many benefits to vape oil. The very best benefit of utilizing a drip suggestion is that you could add e-liquid directly into the ecig without having the need of working with a cartridge. Having the capability to personalize your vaping experience is only one of the perks of using e-cigarettes rather than traditional cigarettes. Your full vaping experience is dependent on choosing the right strength of the e-liquid that is decided by the various strength of nicotine within it. Such low degree of cigarettes can't make someone addictive.
If you are curious what flavors are best and what is the highest rated juices on the market today and heading into 2017, I would search for the best vape reviews and you will find a lot of great articles with in depth reviews on just about every flavor you can think of!
A Fool's Guide To Paddle Boarding
A Fool's Guide to Paddle Boarding
It is here to stay, find out why its the fastest growing water sport in the world, you'll be glad you did.
Questions About Paddle Boarding
It's said that surfing is among the most core body workouts someone can get. The main reason why paddle surfing is getting popular is its exercise aspect.
Well, it appears this sport will soon must get rid of both of these titles.
Feel the swell beneath your board allow it to take you where it wants to. Paddle boards are offered in a range of sizes and it is necessary to choose one to fit your requirements. They come in a variety of sizes depending on your preference as well as experience level.
You require various types of boards if you're going surfing on waves or covering a very long distance. You're able to paddle board just about anywhere, provided that there's a body of plain water. After you put money into a board, it turns into a low-cost activity for the entire family.
If you're trying to find a board that isn't heavy, you might try out using a soft paddle board. Selecting the right board may earn a difference in how much it is possible to relish your boarding. You might rather obtain a used board over purchasing a new one in the event the price is reasonable. You can get a used paddle boards for a far lower price than brand-new ones. I like to refer to SUP paddle boards reviews when I am considering a purchase.
Paddle boarding isn't hard to learn. It is a great exercise. It has become a popular sport for many people to partake n and more and more people see the benefits of renting them on the island. Lots of people are searching to take pleasure in the popular paddle boarding sport.
Several of the exact paddling and navigation techniques utilized in paddle boarding are also utilized in long boarding. Kayaking is a safe, fun, outdoor activity the whole family can take part in with minimal risk at a very low price tag. It is a great way to explore the natural scenery in places like Fort DeSoto. Snorkeling is another among those incredible underwater activities you are able to do at any age.
Where to find deals on boards
If you search online you will find an array of choices and options. How are you to know what is best and who is telling the truth about what they are selling? My first take is to go to a site that is a review site and not the actual company itself. One site I found to buy boards online is: http://www.supboardsreview.com/stand-up-paddle-boards-for-sale/ . They seem to have a wide selection and try all their gear out. They seem to be honest because they don't always give great reviews on gear, so that tells me that they aren't just trying to push product.
Other than that, I would definitely browse amazon (there is probably an add on the side here >>>>just saying if you want to share some love). You can never go wrong with amazon mainly because of their return policy. They really protect you and your interest.
If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to share them below or maybe even paddle boarding experiences that you have.

A sea of snow
6 comments:
Adorable sweater and well paired with this skirt (well, dress. You know what I mean), though I confess, I'm curious what it would look like with jeans. Part of that is just I've never seen you with jeans and the other is it is fun to see an item like a sweater in both dressier and dressed-down looks.ReplyDelete
Wait, is More Sea a Morrisey pun? Even if it's not, great look! I love the photography here too, it's like the heavens are opening up and shining approval of your outfit down on you.ReplyDelete
Jessica, Zella Maybe
I really like the pattern on that dress and how you wore it as a skirt. This sweater is very cute with it too! I'm loving how wintry these pictures are too.ReplyDelete
Jamie | PetitePanoply.com
This is so ridiculously cute! I think this dress was a great choice with this sweater. I'd probably do the same thing with my strapless dresses! I wish I had pulled the trigger on this Dear Creatures piece, I'm totally having... the opposite of buyer's remorse?ReplyDelete
Really charming look - I second the message on your sweater entirely. Objectively it hasn't been that long - early last fall - since I was at the sea (technically ocean), yet I miss it dearly already and could do with far more of it in my life. Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit the Pacific again this year.ReplyDelete

First of all Dr Cole is not my named GP, who I also think is great, but unavailable on this instance. Anyway I was very impressed by Dr Cole; first of all for a friendly welcome and making me feel at ease. Her questions were insightful and sympathetic. For various reasons there was a need for a few follow up visits, on each occasion I felt Dr Cole understood the issue and had a good plan for treatment. Two great doctors in one practice, I am a lucky person.

Another Great Year of Christmas Cheer
With the smell of mulled wine and fresh mince pies, the Ashby Christmas Fair returned to the streets of Ashby de la Zouch on Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th of December. Held on Lower Market street, Ashby de la Zouch, the event was just a mile away from the A511 and the A42, making it the perfect place for some weekend Christmas shopping. There was a great line up of Scrumptious Christmas food and an array of Christmas gifts too. There was also be a wide range of entertainment throughout both days with some great local music for the adults, along with a snowflake finale on the Saturday. Santa also visited us, supported by the Ashby Rotary Club. Overall the weekend was a great success.

Taxi drivers, hotel clerks, busboys, money exchangers; is there no one we can trust?! Travel scams can hit you anytime, anywhere and it can be the people you least expect. Shady people all over the world have honed their eagle eye to spot a tourist a mile away and have fine-tuned their craft so that even the most well-researched and savvy of us can fall victim to their schemes. From the little old lady who is offering a sprig of rosemary as a sign of friendship to the good old broken taxi meter trick there's a scam around every corner. If you travel there's no doubt that you will encounter one eventually but if you keep your wits and sobriety about you, you can minimize the risk.
The Broken Taxi Meter:
Common all over, but particularly in Thailand and South America, drivers will wait until you're inside the taxi and inform you that the meter is broken and proceed to charge you an exorbitant amount upon arrival at your destination.
How to avoid
Ensure that as soon as you get into a taxi, the meter is running and if the driver insists it's broken either get out and find another cab or negotiate a fee before you set off. When I was in Thailand, Taxi drivers everywhere claimed that their meter was not running but the price they offered was just as cheap. Very rarely this may be true but just know that it's illegal for a taxi to operate without a working meter in Bangkok and for every taxi that tries to scam you there are many more honest ones that will happily earn your business.
The Phantom, Closed or Crappy Hotel Room:
Common EVERYWHERE! You get to your hotel, feeling super organized and excited about your online booking only to discover that your 'beach view room' overlooks a brick wall and your 'spacious room' could be mistaken for the closet. Sometimes the hotel might not even exist. Misleading photos on websites, fake TripAdvisor reviews and even a fake front desk can all be to blame for this. Some hotels even work with taxi drivers to convince tourists that the hotel they booked is closed and there's a much better deal to be had at this place they just happen to know about.
How to avoid
Hotel scams abound so when you're booking a hotel, double-check the actual website to ensure all the details line up. If someone tries to tell you it is closed, walk away and ignore. Always check multiple sources to check reviews of the hotel.
A related scam see thieves call your hotel room in the middle of the night and inform you they are from the desk and your credit card details need to be confirmed over the phone. How likely are you to actually go down to the front desk and give it to them?
'Free' Friendship Gifts:
Common in South America, Europe, Asia. I have never come across this personally but have heard from many people just how easy it is to be sucked in. We westerners are accustomed to be as polite as we can when someone talks to us, asks for directions or offers us something. We will automatically take something offered to us but it can often be a distraction or a scam. An old lady will offer you a spring of rosemary (a sign of friendship) or a friendship bracelet. Once it is in your possession, she will demand payment and cause a scene if you refuse. In some cases a vendor will physically tie a bracelet onto your wrist while you are distracted and when you refuse to pay they will make a scene, embarrassing you into coughing up the cash. Some even have accomplices who will go through your pockets while you are distracted and take your valuables.
How to avoid
Don't take anything offered to you by someone you don't know. If someone forces something on you, drop it and walk away. Quickly.
Fake Police:
Common in popular tourist destinations in Europe and Asia. Ever seen those ever-helpful 'tourist-police' who wander around offering help and dishing out fines? Yeah well, be wary. A common scam sees people dress as tourist police and try to fine people on the spot for illegal behaviour. But don't worry, if you pay him personally in cash, he'll make it all go away. A common scam in Indonesia and Thailand, an 'officer' will pull over motorbikes and tell you that you were speeding but all you need to do is pay a cash fine. They may also pat you down and lift your valuables.
How to avoid
be aware of what the typical police uniform looks like when you travel and if someone does try to demand a fine from you, tell them you will go back to the station to sort it out. If they refuse, walk away. Don't ever hand over your passport or wallet on the street. If you need to, ask to see the officer's badge and threaten to call the police station and check.
Drug Offers:
Common in Indonesia, Thailand, countries with tough drug enforcement laws. It goes without saying that if someone you don't know offers you drugs in a foreign country, JUST SAY NO, KIDS! In Thailand we had a tuk tuk driver offer us marijuana which if we had taken, would have been immediately found by a police officer who just happened to be passing, ready to threaten us with jail time if we didn't pay him. The cop and the driver then spilt the bribe and the weed. Also be careful at Full Moon parties and actually listen to the announcements all over the airports that tell you to always keep your bags in sight. The last thing you need is drugs planted in your bag.

How to avoid
If someone offers you drugs, ask yourself what your mother or your high school principal would tell you to do. Walk away.
A related but much less common scams sees tourists drugged and robbed of their possessions or bodily organs. Be safe and watchful when you are out drinking and stick to higher-class establishments if you're drinking alone.
Money Scams:
Common all over, particularly in South East Asia, Eastern Europe and South America.
So, you've safely arrived at your destination. You're jetlagged and tired but you need some cash for a beer and an aspirin so you head to the closest money exchange where there are several ways you can be ripped off. In some countries, there are two or more types of currency and the old money is worth less than the new notes. In Cuba there are two types of currency, the Cuban peso and the convertible peso (worth 25 Cuban pesos). Money exchangers will give you the rate you can get for your western money but instead of giving the convertible pesos, they give you the almost worthless Cuban pesos.
In other places, once all the money is counted out, the cashier may 'accidentally' drop the money and swap the cash for some similar looking notes or coins that aren't worth nearly as much. Money exchangers have also been known to count out the agreed upon amount of cash and then skim a few notes off the bottom as they hand it to you. Sneaky, sneaky!
How to avoid
Try to check the exchange rate so you know approximately how much you should be getting for your cash. A good idea is to take along a pre-loaded cash card if you are going to have easy access to ATMs or a debit card with low fees. Getting cash out of an ATM or buying it before you leave is so much easier. If you do need to use a cash exchange, watch them closely and count it yourself at the stand before you walk away.
Also, scammers will actually create a complete facade of an ATM. They will literally build a mask with a card scanner that will steal your information. You stand there, insert your card, and nothing will happen, "Darn, it's broken" you'll think. Nope you're broke now. Avoid this by avoiding sketchy looking ATMs. Only go to banks that are legit, not one inside the back of a bodega in the boonies.
Poopy Shirt:
Common worldwide. This is one I have watched happen, but luckily my clothes and wallet have so far survived intact. Bird crap, coffee, mustard or some other mysterious stain finds its way onto your shirt. And that helpful local that rushed to clean it off for you? Yeah, he just took off with your wallet.
How to avoid
personal space is always a good thing; if anyone gets too close to you for any reason, be extra aware of where your valuables are.
A related wallet-stealing tactic can involve someone announcing they have found a wallet. Your hand automatically reaches to check that your own wallet it safe and BAM! They now know exactly where your wallet is kept.
Someone comes up to you and offer you a scratch ticket, completely free. You scratch it and lo and behold, you're a big winner! All you have to do is go for a ride to pick up your prize. And just to make sure you feel super guilty if you say no, he tells you he will get a huge bonus from his employer or he is competing for a promotion that you can help him win. When you get to the destination, what's waiting for you? A time share presentation. And if you're lucky a free t-shirt. This scams tends not to cost you much other than time but it can be super annoying and it's always dangerous to go somewhere with a stranger. We encountered (and unfortunately fell for) this on our second day in Bali and in the following days we saw many other couples being targeted. Always the same script, a shaking of the hand and they will even go take you over to the police stand and the officers will inform you that it is not a scam, and it's safe to go with them.
The awesome Nicholas Cage movie, Matchstick Men shows a variation of this lottery ticket. See it below.
How to avoid
IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE! If ever the mystery prize you 'win' on the street isn't a scam and I just cost you a free 100 inch TV or a free trip to Europe, I apologise. But trust me, even that loss better than sitting through a timeshare presentation.
The world is becoming an increasingly creative place when it comes to travel scams, and the best defence is preparation. Even within the USA there are a vast array of travel scams and just because you're American doesn't mean you're exempt! Travel scammers often hit big tourists cities like New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Even Disneyland has its troubles! When you're travelling, it's a good idea to always be vigilant and wary of strangers. Most of the time, locals will pose no harm to you, but being cautious is always a good idea. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is and if someone is offering you something for free…likewise. You'll never be completely safe, but some good travel insurance and some common sense goes a long way!

So, last night, when we should have been eating the dinner I made, we frantically tidied the trailer, stowed stuff, packed stuff away, hitched up the van in complete darkness, inched backwards down a dark dirt driveway and drove to Neenah looking for a place to stay. We had no idea where to go and after trying a couple places ended up at the Day's Inn. We need electricity to run the heater as it gets quite below freezing at night here.
So I'm still in shock. I keep turning it over and over in my head; I wasn't around for the argument, I was in the trailer with the kids, and I can't wrap my mind around how this can be ok. How does she justify this? We used not one crumb of her food, we cooked dinner for her, Maca and Nate nightly (though I found out she hates all the foods I cooked), we did use her washing machine (I told Jamie not to ), we left food in her fridge, we brought her gifts and a brand new coffee machine, how are we such terrible freeloaders and how is it ok in her mind to tell us to pack up and leave in the dark? With 4 young children? She has hurt the children terribly and I will NOT allow that to happen again.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: Day Three Favorites - Spring 2016 CollectionsMonday, September 14, 2015
Check out my top 4 collections from Day 4 of New York Fashion Week. #5 goes to Christian Siriano, but mostly due to the plethora of textiles, and styles he put together for the collection.
Rebecca's collection was definitely my favorite collection from Day 3. I loved the silhouettes, and the prints. My favorite part of her collection were the shoes! I loved her spin on the gladiator sandals.
This is my first time viewing a Dion Lee collection, and I thought the pieces were edgy and unique. I don't know what the purpose of the line down the middle of the face was for but it definitely added an interesting component to the looks. I liked the pieces that had cutout hemlines, and where the fabric looked woven. The mesh and netting to fringe looks were also fun!
Best believe that Monique Lhuillier will probably always make my favorites list every time and this was no exception. I love how she brought the jeweltones, which are typically reserved for fall, to the table for Spring. And I'm absolutely in love with her red, green, blue & yellow floral print. Whether the flowers were painted on, or added with appliques the affect was impressive!

I have to say, that I typically don't go crazy over Alexander Wang like everyone else does. Nothing personal of stuff, but his pieces never really reached to my inner fashionista until now. I'm not sure if it was the stripes, or the fabric blocking, but I LOVED this grungy street-style collection!!! I definitely want all the pieces that incorporated mesh and fringe, and I don't even like fringe that much!

World Series Game 6 could hinge on avoiding the bullpens
We're finally coming down to it in the 2017 World Series. Game 6 is on Tuesday night, and the Houston Astros lead the Los Angeles Dodgers three games to two. A win for the Astros means their first World Series Championship ever. A win for the Dodgers means they force a winner-take-all Game 7.
For Game 6, both teams are sending out their Game 2 starters. For the Astros, it's Justin Verlander. For the Dodgers, it's Rich Hill. The last time these two faced, off, Verlander allowed three runs on two hits over six innings, and Hill allowed one run on three hits over four innings. Neither starter would have a final impact on the game. Both bullpens came in and ended up blowing it at various points, leading to an 11-inning win for the Astros. Things are different this time, though. The Astros are playing to win it all, and the Dodgers are playing for one more game. No pressure, right?
Beyond the "normal" pressure of a Game 6, Verlander and Hill have even more on their shoulders: they are all that stands between their bullpens and the opposing team's offense. A few weeks ago, when the playoffs had barely begun, this wouldn't be an issue. Dave Roberts could keep Hill on a short leash and then let the bullpen take over, because the Dodgers bullpen was one of the best in baseball. But both teams have played a lot of games since the end of the regular season — the Astros have played 16 and the Dodgers 13 — and each one has been fraught with significance. The bullpens are tired, and it shows. The bullpens have decided three of the five World Series games thus far, and when a bullpen decides something, that usually means it's giving up runs.
Take Kenley Jansen, perhaps the best and most dependable closer in the game. In the regular season, he had a stunning 1.32 ERA and 41 saves, and had allowed just five home runs all year. In the World Series (a small sample size, to be fair), Jansen has a 4.76 ERA and has allowed two home runs, nearly half of his 2017 total. He's also allowed six hits and three total earned runs over just 5.2 innings. This isn't the Jansen we know.
And Ken Giles. He had a regular season ERA of 2.30 along with 34 saves. His entire postseason has been a nightmare, but the World Series has been especially bad. He's pitched 1.2 innings in two games and given up four hits, five runs, two walks and a homer. In Game 2, Giles gave up two runs in the tenth inning, including a solo homer to Yasiel Puig, which allowed the Dodgers to tie the game. The Astros eventually won that one, but he wasn't as lucky in Game 4. The game was tied in the ninth when Giles came in, and when he left three batters later (without getting an out), the Dodgers were leading.
It's worth noting that there have been significant complaints about the slickness of the World Series baseballs in the last week. And that could definitely be part of the issue here. But bullpens have been heavily used in the playoffs. Instead of worrying about what their starter will do in their third or fourth time through the order, the manager can play the match-ups and put in a fresh arm.
But what happens when that stops working? We'll find out on Tuesday night. Because both Dave Roberts and A.J. Hinch are going to ask for everything their starters can give. And with everything on the line in their final starts of 2017, Verlander and Hill are going to give everything they have and hope it's enough.

After a 6-year hiatus they returned in 2013 with new vocalist and another solid record, and now two years later, the guys are back with "Liferider", maintaining their unique blend of melodic edgy rock and hard rock groove.
Indeed, Crystal Ball's music is planted on the harder side of the melodic hard rock spectrum, sometimes pretty metallised but always melodious.
Heavy riffs abound on "Liferider" fortified by a rather thick rhythm section. Even so, melody and harmony does not take a back seat to any of this.
All these things come through within 'Mayday', 'Gods Of Rock', 'Antidote', and the quite catchy 'Eye To Eye', featuring Battle Beast's Noora Louhimo. But this song may remind of something else as it has a strong melodic metal vibe.
You're likely to catch more of this with the title track, 'Liferider', and 'Balls Of Steel', both of which have a heavy and brisk pace.
There's a super catchy number in 'Paradise', while Crystal Ball's more Melodic Hard Rock side is expressed on 'Bleeding' and 'Memory Run'.
There's great guitar and vocal melodies, and an overall positively charged fun ride. What I really love is the variety presented on this disc, each song is interesting and has it's own personality while the overall disc stays very coherent.
Amongst the many formats available you get two of the best cover versions that I have ever heard. Crystal Ball's cover of Scared Heart is powerful, capturing the magic of the original, often overlooked Dio classic, and their version of Sign Of The Southern Cross is quite simply the best cover of a Black Sabbath song that I have ever heard, especially adding the piano to the songs opening really adds to its power and atmosphere.
If you are going to check out one melodic rock / metal album this year make sure that its this one!
Very Highly Recommended
Rating - 10/10

As a drummer, Alex Neilson has spent plenty of time around songwriters like Alasdair Roberts, Bonnie Prince Billy, Jandek and David Tibet. You might love or hate their work, but youre not likely to confuse it with anyone elses. But Trembling Bells, Neilsons own debut as a straight-up songwriter, cribs from other notebooks. Hes drawn on his personal immersion in the United Kingdons folk traditions and the example of bands like Fairport Convention, the Albion Band, and Steeleye Span, which all struggled with the quandary of loving music from the past and wanting to make a mark on the present.
Neilsons solution to this age-old folk rock dilemma is to shuffle a couple traditional aces particularly keyboardist Lavinia Blackwalls broad, vibrato-laden singing, but also melodic ideas rooted in the common soil of country music and Scottish ballads into a fairly contemporary but unlikely to perish deck. The backing doesnt lapse into the sort of rapidly dating production that sank so much late 70s and 80s folk-rock; you know, fretless basses and bleakly bad synth sounds. Neither bassist Simon Shaw nor guitarist Ben Reynolds are the sort of musicians who play flavor of the month licks, and in this band they dont do a lot to make you think they should take over the band, either. Reynolds gets a few short, hot licks in, but for the most part the strings support the singing.
Blackwall dominates, which is mostly a good thing. She has the sort of big, supple voice that, like Maddy Prior or Sandy Denny, parts all manner of accompaniment and sales serenely through. The only fault I can find is a one-size-fits-all quality. If a song calls for Size Small gestures, shell still drape it with an XL delivery. Neilsons own voice is more wayward and struggles to scale the dramatic heights that the songs require, but it has a lot of promise.
Likewise the songs hit a sweet spot; their catchy and sound stirring, but the words dont register the sort of obvious brilliance that Richard Thompson sustained in the early-to-mid-70s or that Alasdair Roberts recently reached on Spoils. This is a record that makes me hope for even better things to come.

The Valor PRO OB-FW Farmer Walk Bars are one of the most demanding expeditions of strength. Seen in strongman competitions and box events, this exercise increases strength in your grip, legs, and back. The bars are 60" in length and weigh 24.5lbs, each with 12" of loadable sleeve space.

The Valor Fitness Warranty covers all of our products for intended use only simply meaning, use the product how it is meant to be used with the appropriate corresponding equipment and exercises. As a fitness company, we encourage vigorous use of our products and if you encounter a problem, give us a call toll free at 844-277-1641 or email us at email@example.com, and we will gladly take care of you.
Note: Under normal use (Bench Press, deadlifts, squats etc.) the Olympic bars with last years. Recently, with the growth in the CrossFit-like industry where workouts involve dropping the bars repetitively, bars with a bolted end (as opposed to a bearing) will eventually un-thread. This happens from constant impact that the bar was not designed to take on. Our website warranty page demonstrates this damage with a side by side of a bolt taken from a bar that has been used in the recommended fashion for at least a year and a comparison bolt that has been taken from a bar with repetitive dropping exercises. Illustrated is the wear on the bolt threads concluding to the end result of bar failure.
Note: The BP-10, BPP-10 and BPX-10 Bumper Plate are NOT designed or intended to be dropped on the bar without any additional weight plates. Product testing and development has shown that by dropping an Olympic Bar (See bar note) while using only 10lb plates can result in damage and compromise the integrity of the 10lb plate. During our product testing however, it was also discovered that using at least a 25lb plate (BP-25, BPP-25, BPX-25) in conjunction with the 10lb plates, the damage does not occur. Furthermore, Valor Fitness warranty does not cover damage to the BP-10, BPP-10 or BPX-10 plates caused by this improper use nor damage to plates caused by resting the bar on the floor using only 10lb plates as similar damage may occur.
Note: Be sure to use caution and care when assembling the unit, do not over tighten screws as it may cause wood to dimple, chip and/or snag on flooring surfaces.
