Poor puns aside, it's still worth getting reasonably excited about the idea of seeing a band of the stature of Franz Ferdinand for free in a venue the size of Koko. Although we're not sure which Koko Virgin meant when they announced a series of performances at the 300-capacity Koko Venue in Camden as part of Channel Four's new abum show. According to Koko's own site they can hold 1500 hardy punters. That is of course as long as it's the same Koko. If there is another smaller venue masquerading as the bigger one, perhaps someone could let us know. Just to avoid any further confusion.
So Franz and Placebo will be playing tonight, to maybe 300 people, maybe to more, probably in the big venue opposite Mornington Crescent tube station with Koko written on it but maybe not. Over the next few weeks such luminaries as Goldfrapp, U2, Snow Patrol, Morrissey, Richard Ashcroft, Pink, Will Young, Sugababes and Maximo Park will all be found wandering around the mean streets of Camden looking for one of the now many Kokos of varying sizes that have sprung up since we started writing this post.
Now you can't get tickets for the Franz show, sorry, you'll just have to hang around outside this time. Tickets are available however for shows on 3rd, 10th and 24th April or the 2nd May, although we can't tell you who's doing what when as we have no idea. You can get them through this site, and if you root around enough you can also get tickets for all sorts of fun and unforgettable nights out such as X-Factor, or Big Brother 9, the kinds of places we can only hope will be the targets for a random nuclear strike.

Thelma and Louise are back!!
For those of you who remember back in the days of alt.fashion where Thelma and Louise (aka Connie and Lisa) were always having adventures of the fashionista kind... watch out!! We're back with a Minnie Me of Connie (aka Madeleine).
Connie and Madeleine came by the new shop yesterday with their good friend Rhonda, visiting from CT... we had a great time... Madeleine had the store and herself smelling absolutely delicious (I still can smell the pinapple concoction this morning!!). We're pictured here in front of the shop on my little bench.
As some of you may already know if you've read my emails and occasional blogs, Madeleine was diagnosed several years ago with JM (aka Juvenile Myositis), an auto-immune disorder that
affects approximately 5,000 children and teens nationwide.
This family of rare and debilitating diseases can cause muscle weakness and pain, extreme fatigue, digestive difficulties, lung and heart problems, painful calcium deposits under the skin and a host of other side-effects. While some children will experience a remission, others will suffer JM's destructive effects their entire lives. Some children will even die from complications of the disease.
On the weekend of October 27th and 28th, Connie her family and I, along with all the other lovely families from CureJM, will be participating in the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. Now, don't look for Connie nor I to actually be running in it (paleez, you know us better than that!!)... we will however be volunteering our time that weekend. We'd love to see you come, participate, volunteer or donate!!
To find out more about CureJm or the marathon, please visit www.curejm.com
In other Beauty Cafe news... Mish is taking a bit of time off to focus on the baby... so go a little easy on me these days as I switch hats back and forth... We've also decided to hold off the Grand Opening, to a 10year Celebration Party sometime early July... so we'll keep you posted. Still much to be done to get the shop fully ready in the back expansion!!
Our best to you all... we're closing early today due to impending inclement weather... Rain, hail and tornadoes oh my!! I'm still a Cali girl at heart and don't do well when the threat of hail comes around, let alone tornadoes!1
Ya'll be safe, have a lovely weekend!!

Sectional Density And Bullet Penetration.
Ballistics has nothing to do with the scene on cop shows where they find a gun or a bullet and say "take it to ballistics", that is forensics. Ballistics is the science of the moving bullet, divided up it to three parts, interior, exterior and terminal. Interior ballistics is the science of what happens between the time the primer pops until the bullet exits the muzzle of the barrel. This is all acceleration and pressure. We care about that because if we have too much pressure the shootin' iron might blow up or the bullet might go too slow to do anything useful. Or, for that matter, go so fast it blows up in midair.
Terminal ballistics is what happens when the bullet hits the target. In many ways this is the hardest part of ballistics because there are so many variables. Impact velocity, bullet weight, bullet shape, bullet material, how thick the bullet jacket, hardness of the bullet core, how stable the bullet is, the media that the bullet hits, etc, etc, etc.
One of the most important things to know in ballistics the the sectional density of the bullet. This number is a simple equation, the bullet weight in pounds divided by the square of it's diameter in inches. So, a 180 grain .30 caliber bullet is .0.0257143 of a pound. So we divide that by .008992 and get .270. Actually we just look in the loading manual where this has already been done.
In the days before the fancy new bullets like the Swift A-Frame and the Barnes Triple Shock or even John Nosler's Partition, the first of those new ones, first made in 1949, the only way to increase bullet penetration was to increase bullet weight in that same caliber. Roughly speaking any two bullets of the same shape, construction and velocity, with similar sectional densities will penetrate the same distance.
For instance a .270 Winchester 130 grain bullet has roughly the same sectional density as a 165 grain .30 caliber bullet. The .270 is .242, the .30 is .248. This is why that famed gunwriter Jack O'Conner loved the .270. If the same critter were shot with both bullets they would each penetrate the same distance, only the .270 wouldn't kick as much.
Until hunters forgot how to stalk game the class of the hunting fields used moderate velocity, heavy-for-caliber bullets.WDM "Karamojo' Bell, the famous old ivory hunter slew bazillions of elephant with the old 7 mm Mauser and 6.5 mm MS. The long solid bullets penetrated just as well as the elephump guns. They left the guns at the same velocity as those big bores, about 22-2400 feet per second. Bell kept a big gun handy in case he had to stop a big critter but mostly he snuck up and popped a bull in the brain. This, of course, before the idiot environmentalists got in the game. Now, instead of Jumbo being a valuable resource he is a pest. Where before a Jumbo would add thousands in trophy fees, plus each ne feeding entire villages, they are poached, with no trophy fees for the governments, most of the meat rotting. Oh well, it makes liberals feel good. But I digress.
I shall look through the Speer loading manual at bullets with an SD of about .240-.250, each will penetrate similarly. The 100 grain 6mm bullet, the 155 .257 bullet, the 120 grain 6.5 or .264 bullet, by the way, those fine old 160s will still hit today and pentrate 'til a week from Tuesday, the .270 130 grain mentioned above. A 140 grain 7mm bullet, but if you want to drive really deep, the 175 grain works well.
Another aside, if I were wanting a hunting rifle that would take anything on this continent (except for Grizzly and Brown Bear in heavy cover where they might bite) and didn't want to be kicked silly by recoil I'd want a Seven mm Mauser or .280 Winchester and load the Hornady 175 grain round nose soft point to around 2400 fps and limit my shots to 200-250 yards.
Anyhow, the list goes on, the fine 165 grain .30 caliber, the 170 grain of the old .32 Winchester Special, the 200 grain .338 for those that want to use a moose and bear gun for deer, a 220 grain .35, the 235 grain .375, and the 350 grain .458. If we assume that all else is equal, each of these bullets will drive about the same distance through similar mediums, whether that be flesh, bone, old newspapers, ballistic gelatin, etc. A number that sticks in my head from my teens is that the original WW1 service load for the 1903 Springfield is that those old .30 caliber solids would penetrate sixty-one inches of pine board. Kind of plays the fool of the old cowboy or war movies with folks hiding behind a wooden wagon or empty barrel. Five feet of pine boards, space an inch or so apart. That was a 172 grain solid back in the day when the fastest such a bullet could go was maybe 2650 fps.
Handgun bullets, being shorter than rifle bullets of the same caliber, have lower SDs. My two favorites the .357 and the .45s have SDs ending at about .180. for the standard heavy bullets. I load a six shot .357 revolver with the 125 grain Federal hollowpoints when I'm loading for serious business. My little five shot Ruger SP101 gets a handload, 5.1 grains of Bullseye for an average of 1007 fps with the Speer or Hornady swaged lead semiwadcutter hollowpoint. Note, I live where my DA only cares about why you shoot someone, I've read of jurisdictions where it is financial suicide to shoot a bad guy with a handload.
For my .357 Carbine I like the Hornady 158 grain XTP hollowpoint. I've never had one stay inside our smallish Texas Whitetails, no matter the angle. I keep thinking about trying the 180 grain Remington hollowpoints but then I get distracted and forget to buy some on the rare occasions I have any money. The SD of the 125 grain .357 is .140. At full velocity a good hollowpoint will seldom exit a grown man. The soft point will. The old Remington medium velocity 125 grain hollowpoint, at about 1000 fps from a four inch revolver actually penetrated a little further than the full steam loads at 1450 fps. The bullets expanded more with the hot loads so, pushing a larger frontal area they lose steam a lot quicker.
In my .45 Colts I use the same bullet weight in all my guns, 250-255 grain. The difference is, in my handguns I shoot softcast or swaged lead bullets at standard velocities, about 8-900 fps. My rifle shoots those loads well, for play. At a cowboy action shoot those loads ring the steel of the targets just fine. A slight sight adjustment bring up the hot loads, though. A max load of Hodgdon's Lil Gun or Hodgdon's H110 will fling a 250 grain Hornady XTP hollowpoint out the muzzle at close to 2,000 fps. Now that is very close to the old Trapdoor Springfield Cavalry Carbine Ballistics, lower velocity with the Springfield of course, with a heavier bullet.
These days bullet weight is not as important as it used to be, todays fancy bullets penetrate as deeply as the old heavy bullets. John Nosler invented his Partition bullet after the failure of an old cup and core bullet failled in his .300 H&H Magnum. Today a 130 grain Barnes .30 will penetrate like a 165 grain cup and core jacketed lead bullet. The thing is, those fancy bullets not only cost a lot but they are very much attuned to impact velocity. You can't hardly drive a Barnes fast enough to hurt anything but if the velocity is too low they just pencil right through. With the old bullets the bullet weight is always there. If the critter is too big for a 150 grain .30, those critter will fall with a 220 grain soft point.
Update: I just noticed that comment about Terminal vs. exterior ballistics. Semper fi guy is correct, I don't know how I made that silly mistake, except that I usually write these posts in a house full of dogs and a wife, distracting me. I shall leave that comment, he's not quite correct though. I ain't all that nice.

Amen. This is why I shoot a 200 gr. Speer Hot-Cor in my surplus 8x57 Mauser. It shot clean through two hogs' shoulders. Can't as for much more.
But wait, what about momentum?? Take two different caliber bullets with same sectional densities and same velocities, and all other things being equal, the heavier (larger caliber bullet) will penetrate further because of higher momentum.
Shakey Pete
is blowing smoke.
As soon as he made this comment (early in his post), "Exterior ballistics is what happens when the bullet hits the target," my eyes glazed over. He has exterior ballistics confused with terminal ballistics.
He's a Nice Old Guy, but not to be taken seriously. At least, not about sectional density, ballistics, and such similar items.

Oil on canvas, simply framed in wood, the canvas measuring 35 1/2" by 30" (90 cm. by 76 cm.) on the stretchers, signed at lower right in the wet paint and dated there "10-4-1996". This is a work by a popular and well regarded Indonesian painter, DJOKO PEKIK (1938-). The works of Pekik (sometimes spelled Pekek) have sold to at least the $40,000 level at auctions of Southeast Asian paintings in Singapore and Hong Kong. The artist was discussed, curiously, in an "Art in America" 1996 article: "Djoko Pekik (b. 1938, lives and works in Yogyakarta) paints the lives of the common people in villages and urban neighborhoods: farmers and prostitutes, bicycle rickshaw drivers and street performers. paintings are far more sober, even tragic. With distorted figures in simplified and flattened landscapes, his genre scenes depict the difficult economic conditions of ordinary people today. His 1989 painting of trance dancers portrays one of many extraordinary moments when the dancer performs superhuman feats, such as eating glass without being hurt. Since the tourist industry is beginning to use trance dances as exotic attractions, this work may also refer to the commodification of Javanese culture. His "Girl at the Crossroads" reveals the perplexing junction where tradition and urbanization meet. In this 1992 oil, a barefoot girl stands with her bicycle at a street comer, looking frightened and confused. A red car is stopped behind her. She faces away from it toward empty streets leading out of the picture frame to the unknown. Her simple dress and bicycle suggest ordinary fife, while the car symbolizes Western modernization and technology. Djoko Pekik's landscape paintings differ from Western concepts of "landscape" or "pure nature." He regards those as commodities for esthetic pleasure, or what Sudjojono calls "the mental world of the tourist." For Djoko Pekik the countryside's beauty is irrelevant. His mountains and ocean are not places to look at but derive their import as places where people are born, where they labor, where they marry and have children, where they die". See the net for much more on this keen observer of daily life in modern day Indonesia. CONDITION: Despite being less than 15 years old, the painting has evidence of poor storage history. There is a lack of varnish, a great deal of craquelure, and some areas of missing paint flecks. ASK FOR MORE CLOSE UP IMAGES of the condition issues, as I am allowed only 9 images here and cannot fully describe the painting. See the net for much, much more on Pekik and his art.

The Moon was gorgeous tonight. Looking forward to the Full Moon in Aquarius tomorrow. It is a Blue Moon as well!
Tomorrow might be a good day for flourite in my pocket!
The Moon was gorgeous tonight. Looking forward to the Full Moon in Aquarius tomorrow. It is a Blue Moon as well!
Tomorrow might be a good day for flourite in my pocket!
The planets are starting to get to me. Five days ago, the first breeze of the new energy hit me. Suddenly things I had put off for months were done in mere hours. Yesterday I started feeling pain in my collar bone similar to what I felt during the March Equinox / April Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse of 2015. Nobody wants the Kraken I became released again!
Moon, Pluto, Mars contacts get me where it counts. Mars is in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn. The warrior is getting in touch with its feelings while Pluto goes deep for Phoenix like transformation. Mercury and the Moon are catching up with Mars in Cancer. Mars is the planet if communication, while the Moon represents the mother. Prepare for "Mom" to spread your fragile ego gossip to the point that it's deeply transformative.
The way this plays out with my natal planets is all very interesting. The transiting M's (Mars, Mercury, Moon) are hitting my natal Saturn in the first house. Opposite Pluto. Meanwhile the Sun and Venus are giving me the peace out as they exit Leo. Not to mention the Uranus natal Jupiter T-square. Anything could happen.
I get the sense something big might be going down with my way of being in the world and how that relates to relationships and vice versa. I am going to sleep with an apatite tonight, and not the kind that leaves you hungry. This beautiful blue one.
This crystal really helps me connect with my dreams. It improves dream recall and now that I think of it may be the catalyst for getting my house in order. I think it had a lot to do with the planets, the apatite didn't hurt. Synchronicity abounds.

Interco SS-M16 Off-Road TirePosted in How To: Wheels Tires on September 1, 2010
Novelty tires are everywhere these days. We've got treads with doggies on them, some with flames, and others with people's initials being used for traction. The latest entry is almost the least conspicuous: The SS-M16, part of the Super Swamper family from Interco Tire Corporation. The SS-M16s have silhouettes of rifle shells between the side lugs, plus ribbed icons reminiscent of sergeant's insignia punctuated by remarkably detailed depictions of the firing-cap end of an M16 round. You'll have to lean down to get most of that; two steps back and it's the super-aggressive sidewalls and junior-Bogger-ish tread pattern that lend curb appeal.
Not that we publicly admit to buying tires for cosmetic reasons, but-OK, yeah, we wanted cool-looking rubber for our tow rig/daily driver that's also used for desert exploring. We tried the M-16s because we've rarely met a Super Swamper we didn't like. To name names, it's the Thornbird and Trxus STS meats that were dropped from our Christmas list, but the M-16s land between those two on the scale of aggressiveness and end up more effective overall.
Our test rig was a '99 Dodge Ram 2500HD with a V-10, and the tire size was 295/75R16. Because of our towing needs, we were attracted by the E load rating, with each tire capable of carrying 3,970 pounds at 80 psi in a non-dualie application. The SS-M16s are available in sizes from 31x10.50R15 to 40x14.50R24 and for wheels with diameters of 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, and 24 inches
We've put about 3,500 miles on the tires so far, all of them impressing us with relative quietness. At 75 psi the M16s roll almost silently up to 40 mph and hum at acceptable levels up to 85 mph, which is when we chickened out. There's zero low-speed thump or high-speed steering-wheel shake. The high pressure of the E-rated tires meant a firm, typical 3/4-ton truck ride, but the tires were well rounded and they easily balanced without an absurd number of weights. We were very pleased with the stability while trailering, even having stepped up a size from our old tires to these ones. We were able to take a few trips in the rain, where the M16s were not scary but also not a first choice.
Off-road, we couldn't shake the impression that the trick sidewalls and chunky outer lugs work better than the center tread. For example, on speedy dirt roads, the M16s turn in well but don't hold the cornering slip angle in a way that makes you think they really mean it. In rocks, you can count on the outer edges to take you places, but not so much when the center tread meets an obstacle head-on. We found ourselves hunting crevices for side-lug grippage; see the captions for information on the tread's survival in rocks.
We were happy with the performance in hillclimbs with moderately loose rocks, and the propulsion through coarse alluvium was better than with any other tires we've had on the Dodge. Our truck's brutal wheelhop ended any testing in fine sand. SoCal weather eliminated snow and mud trips, though intuition tells us that, other than highway use, those are the preferred elements for the M16s.
Interco offers better mud tires in the traditional Swamper and Bogger if you can handle the noise, a capable conventional mud-terrain in the Trxus MT, and the most pavement-happy option in the all-terrain VorTrac. But if you need that in-between level of daily driver tire that's better than an all-terrain, more aggressive than an everyday mud tire, and friendlier than extreme tread designs-and you also need to look badass-the M-16 is for you.

Today I went to a museum with my kids and my in-laws. And about halfway through the drive there, I realized I forgot my camera. Thankfully, my in-laws remembered theirs, but without my own camera, I felt like I was walking into the museum naked.
I take a lot of pictures. My memory is terrible, and I need the tangible memories provided by a photograph. Thanks to the invention of the digital camera, I've been known to take 50 pictures just to capture a single moment. I figure I can always go through them later and edit and crop and pick the best one. I have neatly organized folders of photos on my computer and clearly labeled photo boxes and albums. I am one of Snapfish's best customers, and if you asked me to find a picture that was taken on a specific date of a specific year within the past 20 years, I could locate it within minutes.
I love that I have these pictures, but sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out on living in the moment. I'm so busy snapping pictures that I see the world through the eyes of a camera instead of through my own. And sometimes I wonder if my obsession with capturing the moment for posterity is actually a hindrance to the enjoyment of whatever we're doing. How many times have I asked the kids to wait before opening a Christmas present so I could position myself in the perfect angle for a picture? How many times have I posed the kids for the "perfect" picture instead of just letting them create their own perfect picture?
So I'm thankful that I forgot to bring my camera to the museum today. I know that if I had had it, I would have been taking pictures of my kids petting an owl instead of really watching their faces. I would have been juggling my huge Nikon on my shoulder instead of lifting my daughter up to see the animals. I would have been capturing the fun instead of living it.
And I love that I lived that fun today.

Yesterday I managed to send out an episode of FREAKANGELS and a short foreword to a science book. Today I just want to lay down, hold my head and moan weakly until some kind soul gives me a lethal injection. But no. I actually have to come up with a couple of new comics projects, which means I have to scoop out all the muck that's been festering in my head for the last few months and sieve it in the hope of finding some cohered lumps of story in there.
Am also looking forward to getting Charles Burns' X'ED OUT in the post tomorrow. Fascinated at the idea of Burns riffing off, of all things, Tintin (with, I suspect, a bit of Yves Chaland mixed in there with the Herge and the Burroughs and the Manson).
I continue to be nothing but relieved at RED's performance in the States. It's at a cumulative USD $43.5M or thereabouts.
It appears that Zo is selling prints again, for a limited period:

A.V.C. Review: Frankly, the more alarmist qualities of this series feel like a reach, given that what Zeman and Mills actually find over the course of these eight episodes is plenty disturbing without the use of grabby names like "Long Island Serial Killer," "I-4 Killer," and "Long Haul Killer." The Killing Season is more affecting when the filmmakers are sitting in living rooms with men and women who themselves exist on the edge of the law and thus can't get the police to find out what might've happened to their missing or dead loved ones. At one point, an investigator, (PI Bill Warner) laments the hype that sprung up around a serial killer in Daytona, Florida, and how it seemed to die down once the media realized that his victims weren't the kind of sexy spring-breaking co-eds who'd be featured on a Law & Order or CSI episode, but were rather plain-looking middle-aged women who were practically homeless. The point of the series isn't, ultimately, that we're all in constant danger of being killed by some maniac. There are, however, some women we rarely notice—many, many of them, in fact—who are targets. We shouldn't live in fear for ourselves. We should take better care of everyone else.
Episode 6 "A Killer On The Road": FBI Highway Serial Killings Map New Initiative on an Emerging Trend: FBI claims a serial killer is working I-4 corridor in Florida from Daytona Beach to Orlando to Tampa Fl with over 29 unsolved murders of females with bodies left near the interstate. Dayton Beach police are working a series of unsolved murders of 4 women linked to prostitution and acknowledge that they have a serial killer, but the Sheriff Department in Orange County and the Sheriff Department in Polk County and the Sheriff Department in Hillsborough County have no active serial killer cases that they are working, none could explain where the FBI got its information, so Who's Zoomin' Who? Don't you think the FBI should clue in local law enforcement? See FBI link to map https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2009/april/highwayserial_040609I-4 Serial Killer and Dayton Beach Serial Killer Same Guy a Long Haul Trucker Over 30 Cases Near I-4 and I-95 Says FBI. I filmed a Documentary with A&E on the I-4 Serial Killer called "The Killing Season", we shot our sequence inside the Acme Truck Stop in Orlando at the Red Rooster Diner 9565 S. Orange Blossom Trail Orlando Fl. Release of the A&E I-4 Serial Killer Documentary "The Killing Season" is scheduled for November 12th 2016 at 9:00 PM on the A&E Network, now sure would be a good time to release the "I-4 Serial Killer Documentary" to tie in with the arrest of Cleveland Truck Driver Robert Rembert Jr. who Prosecutor Timothy McGinty claims is a over-the-road serial killer.
I-4 in Florida runs from the west coast in Tampa directly across the state to Daytona on the east coast it is 132 miles long and very heavily traveled by cars and big rig truckers, see map above. I-4 connects to I-75 on the west coast and I-95 on the east coast also very heavily traveled by cars and big rig truckers going north and south. The body of the first known victim of the Daytona Beach killer Laquetta Gunther, 45, was discovered in an alley off of Beach Street on December 26th, 2005. She had been shot in the head with a .40 caliber handgun. She was found lying in a fetal position. Due to the damage from the gunshot, (hollow point bullet) Gunther had to be identified by her tattoos. She had been killed at least two days before her body was found. A taxi driver told Stacey Dittmer, the victim's closest friend, that he saw an older-looking man with a cigar in his mouth walking out of the alley.
Since then, three more women with known criminal histories have been found slain execution-style, shot in the head, in this Central Florida beachside city best known for its love of motorcycles, auto racing and sunbathing. When the fourth victim was discovered, shot in the head with a .40 caliber handgun, Daytona Beach police knew they were looking for a serial killer. Police think the Daytona Beach killer — who profilers peg as an everyday guy with relationship troubles — has slain four women in the past two years, luring them into his car or truck and leaving their naked bodies in secluded areas. Daytona Police Chief Mike Chitwood would not discuss details of Gage's slaying. The other three women, LaQuetta Gunther, Iwana Patton and Julie Ann Green, were all shot in the head. All three had histories of prostitution and their naked bodies were found in relatively secluded areas of the city. With each murder, experts and investigators say, the killer could be emboldened.
According to the FBI, the four Daytona Beach killings are among 28 in Florida that are unsolved and connected to serial killings that the bureau suspects were committed by long-haul truckers. Those include 19 deaths along the Interstate 4 corridor between Tampa and Daytona Beach, although all but one local law-enforcement agency denies any serial-killer cases on its books. The FBI report documents dozens of serial killings of people whose bodies were dumped near popular trucking routes. The report is accompanied by a map that shows the FBI plotting more than 500 serial killings — mostly prostitutes and female drug users — across the United States. Daytona Beach police have their killer's DNA from two of the first three victims, but they won't say which. And they won't say whether any DNA was recovered from the fourth. Police have entered the DNA profile into a national database, hoping it will pop up if the killer gets arrested someplace else, obviously the killer is not in the National DNA Index System or NDIS is considered one part of CODIS, the national level, containing the DNA profiles contributed by federal, state, and local participating forensic laboratories.
A few cases are in metro Orlando, according to the FBI map, seen above, but neither the bureau nor local law-enforcement agencies will acknowledge any cases involving serial killers. The FBI also declined to provide a more-detailed map of the Florida deaths. Sheriff's offices in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Volusia and Polk — ones that service the I-4 area in the region — said they have no serial-killer cases. Police agencies in Orlando and Kissimmee said they don't either. None could explain where the FBI got its information. Only Daytona Beach police acknowledge they are working a serial-killer case. "We have several people, including volunteers, looking at evidence and following up on leads," Capt. Kerry Orpinuk of the Daytona Beach Police Department said. "But there are no leads that point in any one direction."

A father died trying to save his children after a boating accident, which also claimed the life of his son.
Julian Mynott could have walked away unharmed, but made a 'Herculean effort' to save his children after they disappeared under the water when their boat capsized.
The bodies of the 42-year-old and his youngest son Freddie, three, were pulled from a river hours later. Both died from drowning.
A neighbour rescued his other children – seven-year-old Archie and Florence, six – who have made a full recovery. Mr Mynott's wife, Emma, told an inquest she went to the river after hearing shouting and saw that the boat had split in two.
'Julian was standing up in the water, waist high. There was no sign of the children,' she said. The antiques dealer dove underwater to find his family, but never reappeared, Mrs Mynott said.
The accident happened after Mr Mynott had taken his children to see a tree that had fallen into the river near their home.
But the boat became trapped in a fast-flowing weir and mystery still surrounds why it capsized, the inquest heard.
Mrs Mynott, of Barford, near Warwick, said: 'Julian was totally competent and safety conscious where the children were concerned.'
Coroner Sean McGovern recorded a verdict of accidental death, following the tragedy in May.
Det Insp Colin Jones, who investigated the accident, said: 'We have heard of the Herculean efforts of a father to protect his children in the most challenging and overwhelming of situations.'

As an immigrant to Australia I fee very blessed to live here. We just missed the cut-off date to have our citizenship ceremony on this special day , but were told we are on the March list.
Our day wasn't very eventful , as we had a rainy kind of day, with very little going on at the beach as per normal. Everybody flocked to the shops instead! Pretty busy! The kids theri annual volleyball competition moved from the park to the church's parking lot, but still had fun!
Talk soon!

Donald Trump posted a new ad on Instagram that shows Bill Clinton appearing to doze off during his wife's big speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday.
Video from Hillary Clinton's DNC address shows the former president closing his eyes while she was talking about the threat posed by jihadists.
"In fairness, former President Clinton may have been praying that she wrapped up the speech," Tucker Carlson joked on "Fox and Friends Weekend" this morning.
"I think he was just wrapped up in the moment," Clayton Morris quipped. "He may have just been meditating a little bit."

Ukraine OSCE observers freed
May 3 - Seven OSCE observers held by pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine are released. Rough cut (no reporter narration)
ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION European military observers held captive in Slaviansk in eastern Ukraine were released on Saturday, the town's pro-Russian separatist leader said, characterising the move as voluntary and made to coincide with his birthday. Vyacheslav Ponomaryov said 12 people had been freed in total, including Europeans and Ukrainians. Eight observers who were in Ukraine under the auspices of security watchdog the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) were seized last week by separatists who said they had found a spy with them. They later released one on medical grounds. It was not clear who else was among those released, but the group had been accompanied by at least one translator. Ponomaryov said Russian envoy Vladimir Lukin, who arrived in eastern Ukraine on Friday, had helped negotiate their release. Kiev and the West had criticised Moscow for failing to help with the captives' release, saying Russian officials had not even condemned the detentions.

UCL has been ranked among the best 20 universities in the world for the employability of its graduates in the QS global rankings of 500 institutions published on 11th September 2017..
The university is rated 17th in the world, putting it in the top 3% of the universities that the QS intelligence unit assessed, a jump of seven places from last year.
The results place UCL third in the UK behind Cambridge, which came sixth, and Oxford, which came eighth. The poll was topped by Stanford University, followed by UCLA, Harvard, Sydney University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
UCL scored particularly highly in performance indicators for employer reputation (96.8%) which is based on over 30,000 responses in a survey of employers who are asked from which institutions they get the most competent, innovative and effective graduates.
UCL also performed well on alumni outcomes (95.6%) which QS says is based on a survey of more than 30,000 of the world's most innovative, creative, wealthy and entrepreneurial individuals and which university they attended.
Karen Barnard, Director at UCL Careers, said she was "delighted that UCL has been so highly ranked in the 2018 QS Employability Rankings." She said UCL's position reflected the fact that "UCL graduates are some of the brightest and most sought after in the world, by employers across the sectors."
UCL's outstanding result in the Graduate Employability Rankings complements similar findings made in early September by the Times Higher Education, where it was classified as one of 20 "super-elite" universities in the world.

Guerilla crochet artist Olek has been enlivening New York City streets with her fresh yarn creations for the past few years. Now her most recent Manhattan installations pay tribute to the freezing temperatures we experienced recently (before this freaky new warm spell.) Bowery Boogie reports that two rainbow-colored hand knit sleds have appeared for the delight of passersby in the East Village.
The first Flexible Flyer was given the Olek touch – her signature pink and camouflage patterned yarn bombing. The artist emblazoned the phrase on all of our minds- "CHILLED TO THE BONE" across the sled seat. Locked up on Houston Street just yards away from the ever-changing street art mural, the sled will remain until vandals, fans or thieves pry it from its locks.
Another crocheted glider is a bit more out of reach of grabby hands. Chained high above Yem Yem Falafel at 53 Second Avenue, the piece adorns a fire escape on the second floor. The yarn bomber has covered everything from an entire apartment to the infamous Charging Bull near Wall Street with her multi-colored crocheted art. Her most recent endeavor took her to London, where she crocheted a giant version of Martin Luther King's "Injustice anywhere is a treat to justice everywhere." The project came at an ironic time, as the artist awaited sentencing in London for an incident between her and the unwelcomed advances of a Russian man.
Olek's handiwork can often be seen around town, in form of crocheted bicycles, shopping carts, cars and now, sleds.

What do all those churchy words really mean?
The word "
Is NOT "Roman Catholic". In other words, they do not own that word, which simply means universal. As such, we practice the faith given by our Lord Jesus Christ as transmitted and lived out by the apostles and passed down through the ages.
The term "
comes from the word meaning "Good News". It is the message of salvation; that we are not left ---or lost--- to our own devices. We are driven to speak and spread this message.
To be
biblically Based
means that we take the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the authority for our lives and teaching.
To be
Spirit Led
is to acknowledge that God is living and active within the life of His Church and that we are called to obedience so that we may participate in His life.

New tour info!
Madonna starts her tour on August 29th and she will visit places she hasn't in over a decade!
As you know, this time she will only do arenas, and the tour dates are coming up today!
The tour starts in Miami's American Airlines arena and will continue through North America until October. After 25-30 shows there, Madonna will visit Europe until December, for another batch of 20-25 concerts. Additional dates likely to be added as certain shows sell out.
January and February 2016 will see the Rebel Heart tour in Asia and Australia, and those dates will be announced at the end of March 2015.
Tickets go on sale March 9 and will cost more or less the average for a Madonna tour.
It is still unclear who will her opening act be, although it is probably gonna be a DJ.

You're Free to Do Whatever Pleases You
I am about half way through your book (really enjoying it) and rather than continuing to be bitter about my daughter's public, private, and public charter school experiences, have come to the part of the program where I am blaming myself for NOT homeschooling even though she begged me to do so. Any words of comfort (like the ones you whisper to yourself when you think your homeschool experiment turns out to be, ah...misguided? have unintended consequences?)?
and Catherine asks:
I've been wondering as I read your answers to the questions so far, how do YOU manage the homeschooling thing? are there days (weeks, months) when you feel like throwing in the towel? what's it like being the teacher AND the mother AND all the other things you do? do you need a long bath and a glass of wine each night? or is it so much fun and so interesting that you are carried along by your own enthusiasm?
To me, these are variations on a theme which keeps coming up so, Chris and Catherine, you shall stand in for many.
Try to look dignified.
Early on in the blog book tour, someone asked me why on earth I asked for questions that would make me look like an idiot. We'll let seasoned mental-health professionals plumb the depths of that impulse, but the first reason that comes to my mind is because I want everyone to feel welcome to this party. And more than any other topic I can think of, when a parent talks about the choices made educating his or her child, someone else is going to get their feelings hurt. Or feel judged. Or just generally feel awful. And when it's something like homeschooling -- which by its very nature can be perceived as a lofted middle-finger to how most people are educating their children -- it can seem very much as if I'm smiling smugly about how right I am. And if I'm that right, we all know what you are.
I promise you, it's not like that.
Homeschooling is an experiment, an experiment based on what we know about our child, what seems to be delivering the best outcomes, and what looks as if it might fit within our family. But so is the public school down the street, the charter school your friends helped create, and the private school Grandma and Grandpa help pay for your kid to attend. Some experiments work out. Some don't. If this one doesn't, I pray I have the lack of ego to figure this out in time to put Alice someplace where she's getting what she needs.
Some days -- when she takes an online class and someone who isn't me teaches her something I couldn't explain nearly as well; and she shares a joke with an online classmate; and then we hang out together while she teaches herself Java on codeacademy.com -- I think we're doing it right. Some days -- when I'm hiding in the bedroom by 7:30 and I've declared it "Everyone makes their own damn dinner" day -- I'm a little less certain. Some hours motor along in their own enthusiasm and joy. Others feel like I'm stuck in a production of "Long Day's Journey Into Night."
So, do I worry? Oh, yes. Do I need a long bath and a glass of wine at the end of the day? No,but that's only because I'm more of a Benadryl person -- both allergic and insomniac. In those moments before I start to breathe and drift off to sleep, I do worry that we aren't doing right by the kid. But the thought I hold -- the thought I give to anyone who needs it -- is that humans aren't designed to only thrive in perfection. We're more durable than that. I think a child who isn't entirely happy with his or her current state of being but feels confident enough to express that feeling and try to work towards a better situation with authority figures -- both emotional and academic -- learns a valuable lesson, something to use for the rest of his or her life.
And if they can't fix it? Working your best within a less than ideal environment is a lesson, too. Let the record show I would define Alice's current educational path as mostly manageable and sometimes very nice but still less than perfect. At some level, I have to have faith that what she's getting is enough.
Does that help?

These problems kinda started out of the blue. We didn't have any updates recently, so we can't pinpoint it down to something we changed that would be causing this.
It looks like Clients are not being cleaned up properly. We see Clients keep increasing during time. (But we have no idea if this is the problem)
We use webclients and headless client as rest service. (Both stateless rest as with the itech plugin with state)
When it freezes, the Servoy Server Home isn't accessible anymore. (Other pages still are.)
What we see at the times it happens, the active connections of the repository database server is full. (We have increased it a couple of times, now it is 50/50 for example) And eventually other databaseserver connections also get exhausted.
From that point on, no new users can login.
But we have no idea what is going on at that time that it freezes.

This is my first attempt at blogging...I hope that it is interesting and understandable.
I am not a person that communicates well online ...until I joined Etsy I have never had a conversation with someone online other than on Ebay a quick question. I joined Etsy at the suggestion of a marketing consultant.
I joined Etsy, listed some items and checked out the forums but never participated in them until one night I was checking out a thread that was fundraising for 2 young boys that had lost their mother in a motorcycle accident. For some reason I really became involved it that great venture. I met many beautiful, caring and loving people....when it came time to close the thread I was devastated...I thought I was going to loose contact with these people.
But there was more than I that felt this way and the Etsy Angel team was developed....it was for more than the friendships we developed but also for the help we felt we could give to others. We have done a few charities and have gone through some growing pains but it is still a great team and lots of support is shown here.
We now have 6 more new members that we are going to officially welcome to the team on Friday June the 6th. There will be games, fun and some sales in all our shops. Everyone is welcome to join us. Watch this thread for the one that will be opened on Friday for that purpose:
This is a fun and easy time before we gear up for our next charity...which will be a registered charity...something that we have discovered is probably for the best although we enjoyed the personal aspect of raising funds for individuals it leaves some doubt in others minds about what we do!
The Etsy Angels are a great team...it is the one closest to me but I am also a member of the Fabulous Artist Moms....another team of close knit ladies that show alot of support and friendship.
Stay tuned for more information on The Welcome to the New Members of the Etsy Angels and the Take 10 Tuesday sales by the Fabulous Artist Moms.
Welcome to my Blog. Here you will find a variety of things...information about Mona's Handcrafted Gifts & Quilts(i.e. new items, sales, contests, etc.), links to some of my favorite sellers, featured artist spotlights, and more!

It is that time of the year again when the shops and streets and coated in lights, the days are getting shorter and Starbucks have started bringing out their red cups! This can only mean one thing, CHRISTMAS is just around the corner. in my household and friendship group this is just an excuse to play as much board games as possible. I love board games. Cludo, logo, uno, kerplunk, I could go on. ( but don't worry I don't like monopoly). Put my favorite game is the post it game. If you haven't heard of it that please read on because I can assure you that it will become a favorite with your friends and family. And the best thing is you can play it pretty much anywhere. All you need is a post it notes a pen. Me and my friends have even played it at school in the middle of the corridor! ( CAUTION: if you are playing this game in a public place like a corridor, here speaks the voice of experience, prepare yourselves for the strange looks as people people wonder why you have got a piece of paper that says Justin Bieber on your head.) okay so here's what you do.
1)this game can be played with 2 to 100000000000000000000000000(there's no limit) people.
2)give everyone a post it note and get them to right something on it for the person next to them. You can write pretty much anything but I recommend choosing a them e.g, objects, places celebrities (they are the funniest.)
3)they that have to stick the note on the person to the right of themselves (or left as long as everyone goes in the same direction) fore head.
4) The rest is a bit like twenty questions. You each take it in turns to ask a question about the person on your post it and everyone else can either answer yes or no. The first person to guess their post it correctly wins.
You are probably all reading this think that it couldn't be more boring but trust me it's really fun and you will get a lot of laughs out of it. Here is a strange pictureI did to illustrate the game. ( I was bored and had nothing else to do.)

Martin Luther and the Eucharist
(cf The Large Catechism of M. Luther)
"And say to yourself: I am not commanded to investigate or to know how God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, or how the soul of Christ is in the sacrament. For me it is enough to know that the Word which I hear and the body which I receive are truly the Word and the body of my Lord and God." (M. Luther)
My question to my Protestant brothers and sisters is this: If the founder of the reformation and the originator of the doctrines of faith alone, scripture alone, etc believed that the Lord's Supper was indeed the true body and blood of Christ, and not a symbol, what is the justification by which contemporary Protestants refute this belief? If you don't agree with Martin Luther regarding his views of baptism and the Eucharist, why do you agree with him regarding faith alone and scripture alone? (Catholics of course believe in grace alone) It seems to me that it is a glaring inconsistency. If Luther is so completely wrong on this issue of the Eucharist (according to the beliefs of modern evangelical Protestants), why can't he possibly be wrong regarding his view of justification by faith alone, and his rejection of apostolic succession?

Writers often say that you can become a better writer simply by reading more. Yes, and everyone from Stephen King to Belle Beth Cooper to your high school English teacher has a favorite way to say "Read, read, read…" as William Faulkner famously put it. But you can save yourself oodles of time by reading more carefully, that is, knowing exactly what you are reading for.
There are categories of careful reading, and scholars who study the process of reading break "knowing how to read" into a laundry list of highly technical language that entails increasingly complex forms of knowledge/skills: semantics, syntactic, conventions and genres, connotations, figures of speech, cultural / historical / literary illusions, intellectual contexts, and receptivity to the imaginative / intellectual / aesthetic and physical delights of the literary experience….
Whoa. Are we writing great literature here? We can be.
Admittedly, this hack of reading more carefully probably won't help you generate that great, prize-winning article. But it can lead to more successful pitching, publishing, and prospering. So here it is: of the reading scholar's laundry list, focus exclusively in your better reading on genre. And by "genre" read the definition of genre not as "a composition characterized by a particular style, form, or content" but as a composition characterized by a particular style, form, and content.
Try out this hack by picking an award-winning article in a publication you'd like to pitch or write for and then analyze its style, form and content word by word, sentence by sentence, or paragraph by paragraph as appropriate. For example, ask where exactly does the nut graph occur? After how much detail, narrative, and type of lede? In what order does the article present standard elements such as narrative, exposition, and definition? Does the article include persuasion? Is the article results-oriented or process-oriented, and to what degree? Analyze as well the genre (style, form, and content) of the title, deck, images, figures, and anything else that accompanies the article. (I take about an hour to carefully analyze a 2000-word feature.) Then, in writing a pitch or an article for that publication, try imitating the style, form, and content the best you can given the your own unique story elements.
Of course, imitation is not always the best form of flattery. As George Orwell warns, "Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble." Indeed, after such a careful read of an article's style, form, and content, you might decide to avoid pitching that publication. You might figure out, for example, that you really don't want to tell your story the way that publication might.
If you do proceed, though, you may find as I have that a pitch or article that carefully imitates a publications' chosen style, form, and content is much more likely to be the right "fit," leading to more pitch acceptances and fewer rounds of edits.

¾ cup white flour
3.5 tsps yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 tsp olive oil
¾ cup white flour
3.5 tsps yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 tsp olive oil
Mix yeast with half cup warm water till frothy and keep aside. Knead Flours with salt, olive oil and frothy yeast mixture. Add enough warm water till dough forms. Place in oiled bowl in a warm place till its double in size.
Tomato sauce (cut in half if making one pizza)
2 tomatoes finely chopped
1/2 onion finely chopped
3 garlic cloves sliced
Olive oil
Heat the oil. Saute the garlic and onion. Add the tomatoes. Cover and cook till soft. Set aside to cool.
Toppings -(cut in half if making one pizza)
1/2 cup chopped Chicken 65
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup baby arugula
Roll put the dough in a thin circle. Spread the tomato paste, followed by arugula, top with chicken and finish with feta. Bake in an 350 degree oven for 20 - 30 mins.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking about $32 million from two men charged in an insider trading case involving Motel 6 L.P. and the Norton Company, according to a court order made public by the S.E.C. today.
That amount ranks among the highest penalties ever sought by the agency in an insider trading case, current and former S.E.C. officials said.
Michael Borlinghaus of Middletown, N.J., was ordered by a Federal court in New York to pay $20 million, according to a Nov. 16 court order. The agency is seeking a similar order that would require Heinz Grein of Budapest, Hungary, to pay about $12 million.
"That is a very significant amount of money and clearly one of the biggest amounts when you add up" the totals, said Bruce Hiler, a former associate director in the S.E.C.'s enforcement division.
The agency named about 23 defendants in a case brought in 1992 and named six more in a related suit filed on March 6 of this year.
Mr. Borlinghaus and Mr. Grein, the co-owners of a defunct brokerage called Frost & Sullivan Holding Corporation, failed to answer the charges in the March suit, said Eric Schmidt, an assistant regional director in the enforcement division of the S.E.C.'s New York office. As a result, the S.E.C. sought to impose triple penalties on both men, the maximum allowed under insider trading laws.
Whether the S.E.C. will be able to collect these amounts remains to be seen. Mr. Grein couldn't be located for comment, and Mr. Borlinghaus refused to discuss the case.Continue reading the main story
The cases of Motel 6 and Norton, which are related, involved insider trading that the S.E.C. said took place before the Dallas-based motel chain announced that it had received a tender offer from Accor S.A. of France, which acquired Motel 6 in 1990. Compagnie de Saint-Gobain acquired 95 percent of Norton's outstanding shares the same year.Continue reading the main story

The anticipated sale of Frontier Airlines — now with a target date of early 2013 — is creating buzz and raising questions of potential tensions between different interests, leaving the future existence of a "hometown airline" in Denver uncertain.
"We have a great management team here in Denver, and if an investor wants to move us, I'm not sure how many people are going to move outside of Denver, beginning with me," said David Siegel, Frontier's chief executive.
While industry analysts largely scoff at the likelihood of out-of-state investors purchasing the airline to start up elsewhere, a group of Louisiana investors recently caused a stir by publicly announcing its intention to purchase Frontier and move its hub to New Orleans.
"You can't move it. There is no other city in America where you could move Frontier and hub and carry from. End of story," said Mike Boyd, president and airline consultant for Boyd Group International. "I don't know who wants to buy an airline today … anybody credible, that is."
For the airline's current owner, Republic Airways Holdings, the sale is about getting top dollar and allowing Republic to return to its regional-jet roots. For Frontier's leadership, it's about a vision that revolves around Denver. And for the city, it's about emotional pride and economic benefit.
"Do what works"
Frontier is finally stabilizing after several turbulent years. After being purchased out of bankruptcy by Republic, Frontier abandoned Denver for Indianapolis in 2009, only to realize it should never have left.
"I think there's been some missteps," Boyd said. "They tried to take over a hub in Milwaukee — that didn't work. They tried other things that didn't work. So, circle your wagons, and do what works."
Siegel, the airline's CEO since January, admits that the company lost its local focus in the relocation process and is now trying to reclaim its right to Denver's heart as the hometown carrier. The question now is whether a renewed love affair between Colorado and the airline that residents once eagerly embraced as the hometown carrier has come too late.
"I don't think the average consumer realizes that they have made it an incredibly competitive market out of Denver," said Kelly Brough, president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. "That's the downside — you can sometimes take something for granted."
From September 2011 to September 2012, Frontier brought 836,000 visitors to Denver. The average person stayed nearly five nights, which Visit Denver's analysis estimates produced $470 million in local economic benefit.
"(One) thing that is lost is the fact that we are a very important partner and economic-development partner for the city," Siegel said. "We were the first airline that brought low-cost airfare to the city."
Denver's airfare averages 13 percent less than nearby comparable markets. Houston and Chicago are similar to Denver, with Southwest and United deeply entrenched in both. Siegel suggests that the reason Denver travelers saved nearly $400 million in airfare between March 2011 and March 2012 is because of Frontier's competitive presence.
"As long as there is a Frontier in Denver, there will be low fares in Denver," he said.
Frontier and Southwest share a nearly even split of Denver's airline market share — 23 to 24 percent in July 2012 — and consistently offer some of the lowest airfares in and out of Denver International Airport.
The average consumer may not realize the competitive advantage that having two discount carriers going toe-to-toe in the same market brings, but many of them, like Kristen Watford, are devoted to Frontier.
A clinical educator for a medical-equipment company, Watford travels from her Colorado home nearly every week and belongs to the Frontier's Summit Frequent Flyer Program.
"I would be devastated if they left. I love Frontier," Watford said. "I'm on at least two Frontier flights a week. I sit in seat 2F almost every time."
Boyd is confident that Frontier's brand loyalty is strong enough to keep Denver the most economically viable city for the carrier.
"Nobody doesn't like a bunny and a bear," Boyd said. "Republic really didn't come in and take advantage of Frontier's strong presence in Denver, but that's water under the bridge. Their future is here in Denver; it's nowhere else."
Siegel emphasized that he hopes to keep the airline — which employs 3,300 of its 4,500 total employees locally — in Denver. But he noted that external forces — such as money and taxes — must be conducive to that plan.
"It's extremely likely that we will stay in Denver as long as the tax environment is not punitive," Siegel said. "If you look at United, they have a hometown deal in Illinois, and Southwest has a hometown deal in Texas, so I am economically disadvantaged."
No tax break in Colorado
Colorado doesn't offer corporate headquarters a special tax break, which is why Frontier has maintained many of its operations in Indiana. Siegel and his executive team have been working closely with the city and state governments to try to make this a symbiotic relationship.
If Frontier does not succeed in Denver, experts question its ability to continue operations.
"It's either shut it down or fight it out here," Boyd said.
This is why Siegel and his team are so adamant about the reinvigorated focus on the local market.
"Nothing against the other 49 states, but we've gotta focus on Colorado," Siegel said. "We are trying to bring everything back to Colorado."

This is one of my favorite lip treatments ever. I only use a tiny dab at a time, and it absorbs well and keeps my lips hydrated for hours without feeling heavy or greasy. Doubles as a great cuticle moisturizer too.

Love the smell of this balm & the packaging is great...I find it too oily though & it doesn't seem to do the trick for my lips, but in it's defense stickier/thicker products seem better for my dry, cracked often bleeding lips that peel constantly despite exfoliation.

Mmmmm, yummy. Tastes exactly like the iced lemon cake my grocery sells! Pretty thick, like Vaseline-consistency, though I don't know if my tubes are old since I got them off Ebay, and the reviews here seem to consistently suggest it is runny. Either way, I like it a lot. Works well over lipstick, and as a night treatment where I can't lick it so much :)

I love the smell of anything C.O. Bigelow Lemon. Unfortunately, this lip cream is a little too runny for my taste. It slides right off of my lips as soon as I put it on, and I feel like my lips don't absorb it. But it might be just my lips that are going crazy! :) I do love the packaging, it goes with the rest of the Lemon line and is super cute. I would not repurchase this, but that's because they've come out with a lemon lip balm stick now and I'm SO in love with that--it's everything I needed from this product in a better delivery method. :)

Like all C.O. Bigelow lip products this product is great!
I love this, it moisturizes like crazy and tastes amazing.
The only things is its a little bit too runny and it feels pretty wet when your first put it on, but after a minute or too it absorbs into your skin but still gives a nice sheen to your lips. Over all a great product, a little bit pricey not to bad though with all the sales Bath & Body Works has, definitely reperchasing :D

I am surprised at how much I love this.
I'll start off by saying I am alays willing to pay for a good quality balm because I am allergic to so many including CHAPSTICK!!! It makes my lips peel off:( I didnt have high hopes for this but based on such good reviews I gave it a try during the sale.
I am not usually a fan of lemon (prefer vanilla) but this has such a delicious foodie inspired Lemon cake bakery yummy taste to it that I am in HEAVEN!
I recently tried the MAC lip conditioner which I love but waaay too expensive. This is $7.50 a tube so not cheap but on sale they go for about $5.00 apiece and when I recently repurchased from a seller online I got 6 tubes of this for a grand total of $12.50 including shipping! Less than the price of 2 tubes in the store which does have sales tax (BOO!)
The lip cream is SUPER-emollient (made with 2% lemon oil), is smooth and not sticky or gloppy (hate getting my hair stuck in my gloss!) and my lips haven't peeled!
The finish is matte shine-not super glossy. My hubby loves this-he usually hates my glosses because they make him sticky, but now when he kisses me he says "mm you're wearing the tasty stuff."
It also has a great tube format. I used to love my Kores lipgloss but it was ina tub and hated sticking fingers in there-this is much more sanitary.
Its a ten in my book especially now when its getting cooler and I am one of thsoe folks who usually suffers from chronic chapped lips..Not this year!

I have tons of similar lip creams. I LOVE them. They last longer than your average lip balm. I love the consistency. The consistency of a lip gloss (ya know, the ones that aren't cheap and made for 5 year olds...). Minty, tasty, sweet, delicious! Some of them even have a bit of colour. I use them to help my colour last longer or just to give my lips a little gloss. Love, love, love. They are price ($7.50) but it is worth it considering how much I use it and love it.

Edit 6/9/14: I haven't used this in years. I prefer natural lip balms now.
Oh how i LOVE this. :) This is the best lip balm I've ever tried (and I've tried tons). It smells amazing, tastes good, and gives a nice sheen (not too glossy, not too matte). Goes on smooth, gives immediate moisture, and lips stay soft when it wears off, but it lasts really well too. Not heavy or sticky, but does make lips feel moisturized and protected. I'm not a fan of the Mentha Shines, My Favorite Lip Balm, or the new Lemon Lip Balm (stick). This one is seriously tops.

I love the smell of this product! I feel like it has great moisturizing capabilities, but i'm not fond of the consistency.
The packaging is adorable too, but I somehow think the product is slowly sneaking out from the tube everytime i pick it up. :/

I love this lip balm!!!!! I used to use blistex and vaseline on my lips but once i got this i'm addicted! It smells super good and is also very moisturizing. I have tried the mint flavored lip products from the same line and those don't compare to this lemon lip cream. I also bought this on sale at Bath and Body Works so that is a plus. Will be repurchasing once I run out!!

Okay I am ashamed to say that I haven't been blogging all that often most recently, so imagine my surprise when I signed on today and read a comment that my blog had been nominated for a Liebster Award by Whizzer Rose! Petty Air was also nice enough to mention me in her post in which I am both thankful for. It is always nice to know that people actually do read your blog. Now I haven't heard of the Liebstar Award before but from what I read on google it isn't by an official organisation but rather a fun way to advertise unknown blogs by nominating bloggers and asking them 11 questions that they can then answer in their own post. I, however will not be following the rules and instead will take from Petty Air's idea of listing 5 blogs that I think should have more followers.
2. Esohlee
4. Petite Rinni
5. Love Life
11 Questions by Whizzer Rose:
1. If you were to choose only one among these: a. IQ of a genius b. a bank account of USD 1,000,000 or c. physical beauty -what would you choose?
IQ of a genius! So then I should be able to come up with a money-making solution and then buy physical beauty if I wanted.
2. What made /urged you (to) put up a blog?
Writing had always been a form of outlet for me since I am quite a shy and quiet person in real life. Blogging allowed me to express myself without the worries of other people judging me.
3. Give me 5 countries/places you'd want to go to with no 1 as the place you really want to see soon?
- Japan!
- Thailand
- New Zealand
- New York
- South Korea
4. What camera do use on your blog and if you can upgrade your camera soon, what model would it be?
I use the Sony DSC-W380 and I have been looking for a new camera recently but have no idea which one I want to get yet.
5.If you were to live the life of a fictional character for a week-who would you want to be?
Oh wow this is hard, there is so many out there. One that instantly comes to mind is Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City! All those clothes and not forgetting the whirlwind love life.
6.If you were given any 3 things for free from a mall what would be those things?
- Skincare set
- Air-con (coinciding with the current heatwave)
- Shoes
7.What's the most humiliating experience you've ever had?
I honestly cannot think of one, if I have had one I've probably made myself forget it on purpose.
8. If you were to spend one day with any real person living or dead would it be?
Justin Timberlake just because I saw him recently at Wireless and he is just amazing.
9. Which blogs do you follow (give me 3)?
- www.suki-pooki.blogspot.co.uk
- www.stylesuzi.com
- www.hawaiikawaii.net
10. What is your dream job?
I am still trying to figure it out but I think its to own a boutique store in South East Asia, either Japan or South Korea.
11. The most expensive thing you've ever bought?
My iPhone.

Taking the Reins
Compliance. Following doctor's orders. The words make my teeth itch and not just because in addition to rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, I have a chronic case of you're-not-the-boss-of-me-itis.
In the past, the doctor was as close to god as you could get while still being human. It was an age of submitting to authority and none were more in control than those who seemed to control life and death. He - because there were few women in the profession - had specialized medical knowledge, was an expert in illness and as a patient, you did what you were told, you complied, you obeyed orders. And although it can be argued that for acute issues, such as a sprained ankle or strep throat, doing what your doctor tells you - be ice packs or taking antibiotics - is a good idea, but when you have RA or other chronic illnesses, giving up control of your medical care to someone else can work against you.
The idea of compliance is that someone else is a better judge of what will work for you, but are they? Can someone else tell you what a reasonable side effect should be? Can someone other than you be an accurate judge of how much your disease interferes with your life? And what does it do to your sense of self, your ability to cope on a daily basis if someone else makes decisions for you?
I'm not suggesting that you don't listen to your doctor or stop taking your medication without consulting with them first. However, it's time to demystify the aura of the all-knowing medical professional. Your doctor is an expert in their field, just as a teacher, plumber or architect is an expert in their fields, but doctors are also human beings with all that this entails - foibles, quirks and biases. The reason a second opinion can be a good idea is because not all people, or all doctors, know the same information. Sometimes, this is the result of a bias - we've all heard stories of doctors who "don't believe in pain killers" - and sometimes, it's a result of experience or having read an obscure journal article.
You, on the other hand, are an expert in how RA affects your body and your life. Taking control of your life can be an essential part of coping well with RA, a disease that often feels unpredictable and uncontrollable, and part of this process is to take control of your medical care. You are the best advocate for you, know more about your situation than anyone else and you are therefore the natural leader of your medical team. Your doctor is an invaluable member of that team, an expert who can give you information, but you are the one who makes decisions and it's important to find a doctor who understands that dynamic. Being a good advocate for yourself includes, in addition to knowing your disease and being assertive with the medical team, the idea of mindful non-adherence, the very opposite of compliance. Mindful non-adherence can improve your medical care and your life.
If you are on a medication for your RA and the side effects knocks you out to the point where you spend three days of every week on the couch, unable to live your life, it's time to challenge this particular treatment. In this case, being a compliant patient would mean quietly taking a medication that limits your life as much as the disease would, whereas mindful non-adherence has you back in your doctor's office, saying it's time to try something else.
Although there are still doctors who buy into the god complex and prefer that you meekly acquiesce to their instructions, there is growing acceptance in the field that medical care is a collaborative effort between physician and patient and understanding that a more holistic approach - treating your RA in the context of your life - will be more effective than doing it old school and just treating the disease. A good doctor will work with you to fight the disease and will encourage you to take the lead.
And sometimes, it is us patients who have to train doctors to become great doctors by subtly reaching over and taking the reins.

Every time I pick up one of the new HOT series books I always know for a sure fire fact am in for a heck of ride. Action, suspense, super hot men, spicy sex scenes and emotional drama all packed into a excellent plot.
But what I also always think is that this author cannot possibly do it better than the last time, and you know what , I could not be more wrong. This time the author surprised me over and over again with fascinating characters , a heck of a plot and twits and turns I had no idea was coming.
The read tells of Jack " Hawk" Hunter, the number one sniper to the HOT team, he's always cool and calm under pressure. Deep down he hides a broken heart after the death of his wife and unborn child, but he still gets up everyday and does his job to perfection.
Then he lets go for a few hours when he finds number one sexier than sin pop star Gina Demenico in his arms screaming his name and not being able to have enough of him. But at the end of their three day hideout Jack walks away and makes it clear this will never happen again and there is no future for them, it was just sex and that's all it will ever be.
Three years later Gina's son is kidnapped and she 's desperate for help, she knows Jack is the most lethal man she knows, and if there is anyone that can rescue her baby boy Jack and his team are the men for the job. All she has to do is make contact with Mr Hot Shot Sniper , beg him for help and oh yes tell him that Eli is in fact his son !
This read was beyond fabulous and so, so SO super sexy. I loved the heat between Jack and Gina it was electrifying and so intense it totally made me lose my breath. The plot of this read could not have been more awesome, I loved the entire 'let's go rescue our son and try not to have too much sexual tension get to us along the way " idea. It made for super awesome moments of conflict that when finally hitting the 'this is enough and now we're going for it' scenes leap from the pages with such astounding epic amazement it left me in complete awe of this author's writing.
The action and suspense was as in the previous HOT reads simply fabulous. The intensity of the build up to the who dunnit and the total 'wow did not see that coming' was incredible. I truly thought I had the kidnapper all figured out and ready to be brought down and then it went the total opposite direction, really incredible keeping you on the edge of your seat stuff!
I am taking away a message that in life there are no guarantees, we love, we lose, we fall. But if we don't get back up and try again we will just fall further back in a hole there is no getting out of, make a compromise or two and you will be more than surprised to learn there is life after death.
To wrap it up, we have an awesome plot, a truly off the charts hotter than hot sniper, a little bit of a lost popstar wanting to please her fans, a murderous disgusting madman, a twist of fate , super hot sex and a team ready to kill on command anyone that dares mess with those they love, loads of action and guns blazing and two people both with a lot of baggage that need to learn how to build a future together. The absolute perfect combination of a kick-ass read.
The author has once again proved she is the ultimate master in creating the perfect action romantic suspense reads. I cannot wait for the next HOT read!
I highly recommend this book for all fans of action romantic suspense reads. Guns, mystery, drama, action , romance and a whole lot of amazing awesomeness. A thrilling delicious , toe curling , take my breath away read from a brilliant author.
5/5 star review
" The ultimate hot shot faces more pressure to be accurate than ever before"

The protesters were shouting, "Bill Clinton is a rapist!"
Bill Clinton was obviously flustered.

You guys! I have been MIA from the blogging-sphere! So busy, but always thinking of you (my readers) And because I love you all so much I decided to be a little more open-minded about this whole coffee-loving business.
I am not a coffee person. I LOVE tea, all types, all colors, and all flavors. I am one of those rare creatures who doesn't like the bitter taste of coffee lingering in my mouth. I live a coffee-free life. Yes, yes it is possible.
However today September 29th is National Coffee Day! So let's celebrate all things caffeinated. I invited my friend and blogger colleague Jess from Reinventing Jess to go out and taste some unusual and special coffee. I asked her to take me to her favorite coffee spot in town, and that she did! She suggested The Doshi Coffee House and I can tell you I was not disappointed!
The place is nice, small, cozy and intimate. It isn't too loud and the natural light that comes in is just perfect. A small vintage piano sits in one corner, and a bookshelf with tons of books (double yes!) You can find comfy couches and small tables next to the windows. It is perfect.
I asked the owner to suggest some coffee for someone who doesn't usually like coffee. He nailed it with his suggestions. We tried the Pistachio Latte, the Hawaiian Coffee (with coconut milk) and the African Toba.
"French press is the best method to use when making coffee at home"
Pistachio Latte: creamy, sweet, nutty, not bitter. It's light and silky. The pistachio milk is made in house. It is perfect for the non-coffee lover. THIS coffee right here might transform me into a coffee drinker.
Hawaiian Coffee: slightly bitter and a little stronger, this coffee is like a soft kiss in paradise. Creamy, and toasty with a light coconut taste. The coconut is light enough to let the coffee flavor come through but strong enough for you to know there is coconut in there.
African Toba: this one doesn't taste like coffee at all. According to the owner this coffee is usually used for medicinal purposes. It has considerable amounts of cloves grounded with the coffee and natural sweetener. Very light, very aromatic because of the cloves, it almost feels like tea.
Three perfect choices for a non-traditional coffee person. Huge thanks to Doshi Coffee House! We had fun talking and tasking coffees.
Overall I enjoyed the whole experience. Many thanks to Jess and her awesome husband and kid for coming along. Their insights into the coffee world were very educational. Jess talked about her early days working as a barista and how she came to appreciate the full taste of coffee. It is always interesting to see how different people like different tastes, while Jess and I enjoyed the exotic tastes her husband went for a familar and more traditional latte, which was also good but has that lingering taste I don't like.
Am I a transformed person? yes, and no. My mind has opened into the world of coffee and I can't wait to try more. However, I feel I have a flair for the exotic and wish to try more Indian, African and South American coffees rather than traditional brews. But regardles of it all, tea remains king in my kingdom!
How do you like your coffee?
PS: Doshi Coffee House serves vegetarian food!! It doesn't get any better than that!
Happy National Coffee Day!

Yes, you should be able to do that. The input services in XNA are derived from DirectInput, a subset of DirectX, which is what XNA has evolved from. In DirectInput, you can enumerate any number of devices to provide input, which should include touchscreen(s).
Now, here's the bad part: I had no clue as to how to do that, and I have a feeling there won't be very many tutorials out there for it either. I'll pass this question along to RB after the weekend (he's out and about on some personal business), and we'll see if we can get you an idea of how to proceed!
EDIT Yes, you are correct, you can use touchpanel.
