The attractiveness of Botox and Fillers
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! The beauty of Botox and fillers, of my! How do these two sayings compare? The first may cause you some worry and disquiet; the latter should only bring visions of rejuvenation and a more youthful glow.
Let's face it, Botox and fillers are the most well liked cosmetic procedures in the U.S. today because they are easy, inexpensive, and produce amazing results.
Botox and fillers, simply asserted, can help turn back the timepiece and supply a more youthful appearance. Fillers (injectable gels) such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Sculptra can reduce wrinkles and furrows and refurbish facial capacity. They are productive in smoothing wrinkles at the mouth, nose, jaw line, brows, and forehead. They are furthermore routinely utilised to plump slim lips. general, fillers work by providing elasticity and capacity for a softer, more youthful gaze.
How do Botox and fillers work? During the course of life facial sinews are very active–laughing, smiling, worrying, and frowning–and these life events over time can cause deep facial wrinkles, especially forehead creases, furrows between the eyebrows, and crow's feet. Botox is well liked for its astonishing ability to glossy the skin and decrease the signals of aging by weakening these fine lines and wrinkles. It does this by helping to rest the sinews in the face, thereby declining the wrinkles.
Filler and Botox treatments are non-invasive and applied via slim needles. The methods are fast and easy with no downtime. An whole remedy can take less than 15 minutes and can effortlessly be completed on a lunch break. Some redness or enlarging should be anticipated but is usually secondary and patients can directly return to every day undertakings.
outcomes are directly apparent inside 5 to 7 days after treatment and last an mean of three to five months, or more, counting on the remedy. Treatments can be recurring some times a year to sustain outcomes.
Botox and fillers are the most well liked non-surgical facial rejuvenation methods used to for the time being decrease the signals of aging. They can supply an instant come back to youth and beauty. The only down edge is that no issue how amazing the results are, they are only temporary. Patients seeking more long-term outcomes may desire to address more sophisticated skin rejuvenating treatments such as a medical grade chemical peel or laser skin resurfacing.

I have purchased 3 framed prints through Fine Art America and have been very pleased with the quality of all 3. This is the first time I've purchased a product where the picture has been reproduced on wood rather than paper. Perhaps I should have known, but the colours and vividness of reproduction on wood do not compare favorably to those on paper (or canvas). To me, the end product looks washed out. The overall quality of the product is otherwise good, but I wish I'd ordered a framed print instead.

Using Less Insulin Because of Farrell's!
When I first stepped foot into Farrell's I was ready for a change. I didn't think I was in all that bad of shape since I had been running six miles, three or more days a week on a treadmill at a local gym. I enjoyed running a couple 5 and 10ks a year to maintain motivation to keep running, but I was really getting bored with treadmills!
Although I was ready for a change, I was extremely scared of it. I'm a Type 1 diabetic that was diagnosed and have been on insulin shots since my early teens. In my 20's I went on an insulin pump that helped maintain my blood sugar levels, but any change in my level of activity or diet generally led to a roller coaster of high and low blood sugars. To succeed at Farrell's I needed to alter my diet and level of activity, at the same time!
On day one my body fat was at 27.4 percent. I lowered the rate of insulin my pump delivered and monitored my sugar levels closely. My wife helped me follow the Farrell's nutritional guidelines by preparing meals that were much healthier than I had been consuming. Protein levels were increased, carbs decreased. Portions stayed close to previous levels if not slightly larger. Nutrition was, and is, the hard thing for me. The workouts are challenging, but a lot of fun. I love the fact that the classes are full of people at all levels of fitness. It doesn't matter where you are starting from, or are currently at, we're all working to be better!
The coaches and instructors at Farrell's tell you not to look at the scale. We're supposed to just monitor progress through strength improvements and how our clothes fit. I didn't do so well with this advice. I stepped on the scale almost daily. After three weeks of no weight loss and being tired from getting up at 4:30am each morning to make the 5am class I was feeling very discouraged! I was very close to giving up. Then something started happening. I got used to getting up at that time every day so I wasn't so tired, plus my body started responding and the scale began moving in the right direction!
At the end of 10 weeks my body fat had dropped to just under 17%. I had lost 35 pounds and felt terrific.* The largest change I noticed was the amount of insulin I needed was less than half what I was using previously. I watched blood sugar levels carefully and had only one low in the first week. Changing activity level and nutrition at the same time was what I had never done before, and it worked!
(*Individual results may vary.)
I am now approaching one year of following the Farrell's program. With little to no running over the past year my 10k pace has increased from 10-minute miles to sub 9 minutes!
I was given the opportunity to coach a group of new 10-week members in the last session. It was fun encouraging a group of men that had their own stories on why they were there. The improvements I saw from them and other 10-weekers is yet more motivation to continue on my Farrell's journey!

First Tobold, and now Mastgrr of Paladin Sucks has exited Azeroth.
Before you yell at us for saying the sky is falling (again), that's not what we're saying at all. WoW has lasted for a long time for a lot of people-- more than almost any other videogame out there (in some cases, ever). For some people, including this first round of bloggers, it's run its course. Just because they're quitting doesn't mean the end of the world (of Warcraft) is upon us. In fact, it doesn't even mean the blogging is over-- Tobold quit a week and a half ago, and he's still blogging about WoW. My guess is that both bloggers will be back when the next expansion hits.
But then again, it's kind of sad that these WoW veterans are stepping out of the game. At least it's productive-- Tobold quit partly because of attunements, and they were lifted the next day. Maybe now that Pally Sucks is RIP, that ret Paladin review will come sooner than we think.

If you are in love with someone and want to get him back or marry him, you can use the vashikaran mantra to do so. The only thing, which should be kept in mind, is that your intention should be good and not against humanity. As each and every vashikaran mantra is connected to a supernatural power or a deity and your prayer is accepted when you are doing it for goodness only.

I enjoy hand-stitching for the same reasons I adore hammers, the colors red and black, Terry Pratchett's writing, and the sky on nights when the moon is darkest. I won't tell you why I love those things. Not because it might creep you out—I'd probably delight in that—I won't tell you why because we don't need to know each other marrow deep to be friends. If we do, then we really aren't.
The idea of jumping off a bridge because everyone else is doing it disgusts me. But if the day (or wild night) comes when jumping is the only way forward, I shall leap into the precipice without bitching about it—my thoughts, legs, and spine must be all cat.
I've landed on my feet, and broken a few things before rolling with the punches takes hold of the metaphor. I'm prejudiced against welcomed stupidity. People who hurt others because they know they can get away with it should spend a lot of time on their knees being thankful to a curly-haired one-eyed woman who smoked a pipe.
I write because not doing so would kill me slowly (or someone else). I love for similar reasons. Today, I woke up in a world where my best friend was alive. Now he is dead. And I'm angry. Because the world is a bit emptier and it didn't have to be.
The whole world will miss you, my bird of terrible feathers. And I will miss you most.
One Halloween, when we were still teenagers, he dressed up as… something covered in fake chickens. I remember asking, "What in the name of Hades' fiery balls are you?" He said, "I'm a sexy beast." When puzzlement showed that I couldn't follow his logic, he added, "You know, 'Just erotic. Nothing kinky. It's the difference between using a feather and using a chicken.'" He was that kind of ridiculous, that kind of amazing…
May your soul fly high on laughter and bad jokes, you sexy beast…

When the economy's demise has people choosing between food, gas, or medication, spending on travel is almost unthinkable. So what should travel glossies do to keep from closing up shop? Travel + Leisure's October issue is hopeful. Coverlines say it all: "25 Emerging Destinations Where the Dollar Still Goes Far."
T+L editors took a break from the usual $400 a night hotels and scoured the globe for cheaper retreats. The focus on Mexico, Asia, and—surprisingly—the Mediterranean, plays up the exotic, omits the humdrum, and even manages to squeeze Europe into the picture.
A little troubling and almost too sneaky was the way the story was cut up. The destinations occupied 10 and a half pages in all, interrupted by huge features on Los Angeles and New Delhi (and a half-page ad on Shanghai). Now I don't know if this was a cheap trick to make readers think L.A. and India were part of the list, or if it was just poor pagination, but it was quite unsettling (or brilliant, for the advertising executive). Surely those pages could have been put somewhere—anywhere—else!
The feature opens with Mazatlan, Mexico, a not-so-forgotten town on the Pacific Coast "experiencing a renaissance." Writer Jeff Spurrier plays diplomat and mentions two hotels at opposite ends of the spectrum; a traditional one that goes for $78 a night and a boutique hotel that costs $185. Not bad for a tourist-y spot. At least he gives you options.
Among the more costly escapes on the list are Marquesas, Brazil, and Cyprus. The Hanakee Pearl Lodge in Marquesas—the only hotel in the island, they say—charges $267 a night. A night in Sao Miguel Dos Milagres, Brazil, can amount to $327 at Pousado de Toque. The Thalassa Boutique Hotel in Cyprus has doubles from $453. Apparently, my dollar doesn't go too far in these places.
Still, the feature makes up for a few off-the-radar prices with more affordable stops in Europe and Africa. Gozo, Malta, has doubles from $44, while a night in a boutique hotel in Larache, Morocco, starts at $78.
Pranburi Coast, a three-hour drive south of Bangkok, is a nice break from the spotlighted beaches of Thailand. Forget Hua Hin or Phuket (the latter made famous and just a tad exploited by the Leonardo DiCaprio flick The Beach). Boutique hotels cost $117 – $135 for doubles but seaside meals (think stalls of yummy street food) can go as low as $5. Mind you, that's lunch for two.
On a side note, what is up with all the boutique hotels in this piece? There are bound to be even cheaper alternatives for lodging.
This doesn't quite have me reaching for my passport, but it's comforting to know the people at T+L are not totally oblivious to these trying times.

After releasing several mixtapes and building substantial buzz online her debut album, Pink Friday, was released on November 22, 2010. In October 2010, Minaj became the first female rapper to have seven songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Minaj has been creating mixtape tracks since 2004 and appeared in XXL magazine. In 2008 she won the Female Artist of the Year award at the Underground Music Awards. Pink Friday's lead buzz track, Massive Attack, features singer-rapper Sean Garrett and was released on April 13th 2010, peaking at #19 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Songs chart. Your Love, the album's second single, was released on June 1st following a premature leak. The song peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at #1 on the Rap Songs chart, thus becoming Minaj's most successful single release at the time. The follow up to Minaj's number one album Pink Friday, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded also debuted at the top of the charts. The album contained the multi-platinum single Starships. Minaj's latest album The Pinkprint was released in 2014. The single Anaconda peaked at number 2 on the Billboard charts, thus becoming her highest single entry to date. Nicki Minaj has a total of 84 entries on Billboard Hot 100 chart, the most ever for a female artist. She won the best female hip-hop artist award at the BET awards every year from 2010 to 2017. Minaj also holds the most critically acclaimed rap verse ever by a female (Monster). Minaj has reached 100 million total records sold worldwide, making her the first female rapper to achieve this. After 4 months of a social media hiatus and 1 year without solo music, Nicki Minaj returned with 2 singles in Spring 2018, "Barbie Tingz" and "Chun-Li". The latter song reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her 16th single to do so. The singles preceded her untitled upcoming 4th studio album.

just a small information, as I got some spare time this week I removed alot of spam posts inside the forum. Also I updated the registration process to make it more difficult to create new spam accounts for bots.
I also inserted all my missing skins inside the database and brought the Ground Vehicle Tech trees up to date.
Wish you all the best!
Spooky Screen of my latest Halloween Tiger Skin made by[bomberpilot1784]
Hi Folks,
decided that I wanna post some pics of my W.I.P. skins here to keep my live.warthunder profile a little bit cleaner.
A videoguide on how extract templates from the War Thunder CDK, and also a little batch script to make the work a little bit easier.
This Guide was written by RazNaRok, I just portet it from the old forum.
As we well know, some of the ground forces vehicles have a unfoldable rounded surfaces in result those have distorted stretched and wrapped textures... If we simply put decals on them... those become distorted on in-game model, by example circle may become stretched to ellipse or a square may become a trapeze etc. This Tutorial will teach U how to paste details to texture in 3DS MAX using game model UVW coordinates to correctly unfold decals to texture.
Videotutorial for making direct painted tank skins for War Thunder by Arcade_Archibald.
Infomation of the blue layer outdated as of patch 1.55 and physical based rendering. Rest of the Guide is still useful
Sry for the downtime did my best to fix it. Since my Synology Web Service is bugged at the moment I moved the site to a free Webhoster.
If I missed some bugs report them pls.
Have Fun!

Maybe I dumped too much.
By the time I got back, I felt like my head was clear, although my legs were a bit rubbery, and I continued about my day. I went over to The Dude's house and hung out with him for a while this afternoon, and we just enjoyed sitting around watching silly YouTube videos and talking.
Then the usual Wednesday evening chaos ensued, with all of the kids coming home and then having to get various ones to various places and back home and in bed again. It was probably one of the the more stressful Wednesday evenings that I've had to deal with in a while, but given that this is the first week back into the routine after the holidays, I guess I should have expected it.
And now, I think I might have dumped my brain a little too much. I had all sorts of profound things to talk about tonight, but I suddenly can't form a coherent thought. It might have to do with the horrendous lack of sleep from last night, or too much brain dumping this morning, or too much chaos this evening, or any combination of the above. So instead, I'm going to give you the few pictures that I snapped while I was out running...
And finally one shot from basketball practice. There is so much behind this picture that I can't even begin to explain - but I'm posting it here because I want to remember to go into it at some point. Let's just say that this is a very rare moment.
And now, I'm going to take my rubbery legs and go brush my teeth and take my empty head to bed and hope that I get some sleep. Tomorrow is one of the days where I have to be up by 5:30am to get everyone up and fed and dressed and out the door by 7:15 to get them all to school on time, and then it just gets crazier from there.
So here's to hoping for a good night's sleep tonight....

I hoped you slept well.ReplyDelete
Pics are BEAUTIFUL!
i have to admit, when i first read the title, i was worried. has she got the stomach bug TOO? lolReplyDelete
all jokes aside, even if you were tired and brain-dumped, i enjoyed this one :)
sleep well mama!!
I actually did sleep really well...just not enough, still.ReplyDelete
I have some ideas on some things I want to do with a couple of those pictures, but I just haven't quite worked it out in my head yet. Maybe I need another brain dump run, which I should get tomorrow.
haha, Like Ranting and Raving, I was thinking the same thing.ReplyDelete
I do the same thing, brain dumping, when I go for a bike ride. I love to head out on the open road and just ride and leave all my thoughts behind me. It's freeing. :)
Happy #CommentDay!
I am far too familiar with the brain dump concept. It seems to happen more often and more unexpectedly as I get older. Thanks so much for sharing! Happy Comment Day!ReplyDelete
Got caught up with you. Wow you are one busy lady! Glad The Dude is around to help.ReplyDelete
Congrats on your run. More power to you!
Happy 2012!
I have only two rules - don't reveal anyone's personal information, and be respectful. It's not difficult, honest. Now, go on and play.

Nine Eleven Part OnePosted: September 11, 2013 Filed under: Nine Eleven | Tags: 9-11, 9/11, my story of 9/11 24 Comments
This is the story of my 9-11 experience. There is not going to be to many pictures here. I have lots of pictures, but I do not want to put them on the internet because, well, they are mine.
If you are interested in seeing pictures, feel free to come by my bar anytime and I will show them all to you.
I have been meaning to put this down in writing for a while so here it goes:
9:00 am: I was in the shower getting ready for a 12pm to 8pm shift when the phone rang. "Dude, a plane just hit the twin towers." The towers were located in the 1st precinct and my precinct is darn close. So, I thought..a bit more overtime for me tonight, as I imagined some poor old grizzeled solo pilot suffering a heart attack clipping the roof of one of the towers on his way down into the Hudson. Watching in disbelief with a towel wrapped around me, I hovered in the living room of my East Meadow basement apartment soaking the carpet as I watched the nightmare on TV.
As the towers burned, I thought better call Mom. As a rookie cop, my hours changed so often that no one in my family knew what my schedule was. Hell I did not know what it was. I sat and called mom letting her know I was home and not at work. Next call was to my partner, Rob Friedrich who was already in his car on his way to pick me up. Listening to the nightmare on the TV in the background, I quickly threw on whatever clothes I could find. I ran out the door, up the stairs and out into the street all in one swift move. Remember this is before I became fat.
9:30 am: Waiting for Rob, I called my father and inquired about the status of the LIRR just in case the roads were closed, backed up or just a mess. After talking to my father, I decided trains were not a good option. Rob pulled up and I hopped into his red Mercury Cougar. Driving down the Southern State parkway, I called in and was informed that the muster point was Floyd Bennet Field in Brooklyn. Rob hopped up onto the median and drove as fast as he could. When we got to the Belt Parkway, we discovered the NY State Troopers closed the Belt Parkway. It was now only open to FDNY, NYPD, EMS only. I think we hit 100mph on the now clear parkway. We arrived at Floyd Bennet Field.
2:o0pm: After signing in, we hopped onto a bus and headed to the precinct. Why did we not go straight to the precinct from the start is a question that still bothers me to this day. I was a rookie and did what I was told. Little did I know that the person that told us to go to Floyd Bennet Field was a complete fucking moron. From the precinct we were directed to go to South St and Pike St, Pathmark parking lot. Once there, I saw a large crowd of cops wearing uniform shirts with regular blue jeans. "uh oh" I thought. Everyone was running around gathering supplies. Mostly painter's masks and flashlights….and gloves.
5:00 pm: I was assigned to a Mobile Patrol Unit with Lt. Donohue, Rebecca Mayo, Greg Rodriguez, Mark Restivo, Stephanie Brinkley, and Rob Ferriolo. Coming down Church St, I got my first glimpse. To me, it looked like we arrived on a movie set. I thought it was all fake. Has to be fake right? This can't happen. I remember scrambling to help look for survivors. One memory I have is a Lieutenant running around asking if anyone knew morse code.
"Why?" I asked.
" Because we think there are people trapped in the rubble you can see them flashing something!!" he exclaimed.
"What are the odds some financial white collar guy trapped by rubble knows morse code?" I asked him without thinking. If I had thought about it, I would have just shut up. But the words just came out with reckless abandon. Like bullets fired from a gun, they could not be taken back. He looked at me, actually stared at me and just smirked. I think when the haze of adjrenaline cleared his mind, he knew I had a point. Still, they could be random flashes from people trapped. So off we went climbing the razor sharp steel pile. As we got closer, we could see that the flashes of light were just random reflections from plastic streamers hanging. What exactly those streamers were I have no idea, I just know they were not survivors.
8:00pm- we got back into the van and Lt. decided to return to our original function of Mobile Patrol. We made it over to an area where they were sorting body parts. This was my first experience with random body parts. We walked over to the refridgerated trailer and saw a young doctor wearing a white lab coat, green scrubs, dark hair tied into a pony tail and a 3m painters mask on. Standing in the trailer with a clipboard, cops would carry body parts over to her. She would then kneel down, remove the sheet, write something onto the clipboard. Next, she would place a tag on each body part and put them into the appropriate pile. I imagine what her nightmares must be like today. I wonder if she still has the white lab coat and green scrubs.
Ever see a shoulder with nothing else? Just an elbow? Ever see a foot with black high heel shoe still on? I have. I will spare you from anymore. If you can imagine it, I am sure I saw it by this trailer.
04:00 End of tour. Sometime during the night they decided we would work 12 hour tours, face to face reliefs. Our platoon would be working 4pm-4am.

This is a perfect nude for me with two coats with some VNL. Three coats is a bit stark and white, so I think I will just sponge a gradient onto the tips of my nails to even out the color to eliminate the VNL.
I was trying to decide between this and Prelude to a Kiss and the SA at Sally's let me swatch them over tape. First Kiss is peachier, Prelude to a Kiss is more pinky / mauve.

I just purchased this shade recently in the newer bottle (black cap). It was between this as Prelude to a Kiss but I got this one because in the store it looked a little 'cleaner' (Prelude looked a teensy bit dustier?). I wonder if the shade has varied over the years because other reviews mention it as a pale pink cream but mine is definitely a pale sheerish peach that works really nicely with my skintone. I applied 2 coats and maybe could have done 3 but 2 was fine. It's almost a jelly cream in that it almost looks squishy and I can still slightly see my nail BUT it's ok because I find the Orly formula is easy to apply smoothly and/or it levels itself out really well. They also seem to dry pretty fast. I top it with Beauty Secrets Nail Hardener and Out the Door. I just really love how fresh and clean it looks. For reference, mine looks like the swatch on PolishAholic's blog and not like the one posted here.

Orly First Kiss is from their 'Love is in the Air' collection and is exactly what I wanted OPI Passion to be, a milky almost-opaque pale pink. This is a perfect colour for a soft, subtle look that's neither borning nor bland. This colour is neither cool nor warm toned and suits my PPP skin down to a T.
I love the Orly rubber capped packaging and find it very easy to control. The application wasn't streaky, and the polish is neither too thick or thin. So far I've been really impressed with Orly's nailpolishes and will definitely purchase more.

I like the application and the rubber brush handle bit but the colour doesnt look that good on me, too cool and white. I need 2 coats to get the colour on the bottle and so its not so streaky. When I saw the colour of the np on the website, I thought it would be a sheer (which I love on my nails) so when I applied it to see that its opaque, I was slightly disappointed. Also, I dont usually use a top coat and the next day of wearing this np, it started chipping.

I brought this last year looking for a baby pastel pink. I like the colour, worked against my medium skin-tone and works well as a pinky base for french manicures. What I didn't like was how sheer the application was at first. I applied two coats, but still could see the white tips of my nails showing through underneath. A little disappointed about that. It didn't streak which is a bonus, and dried fairly fast. Might show it's true colour with a undercoat? Probably won't buy again as I know a billion other polishes similar to this shade.

I was a bit hesitant to buy this, but I gave it a try. I love Orly polishes b/c they're cheap and they do the job. This color is a bit too milky pink for my liking though. I should've stuck with my normal brights!

I am a major lover of those white-pink shades of polish, like Essie Ballet Slippers or OPI Sweetheart, but fancied something a little pink-er, so decided to try First Kiss. It is definitely a lot more pink than I usually go for, but in a nice, soft kind of way. It gives my nails a nice blushed-pink look, and on me it has a very slight peachy tinge to it.
I find First Kiss to be semi-sheer on me. I have medium-long nails and can definitely see the whites of my tips through this polish after 2 coats. I would imagine the colour would head towards opaque after 3 coats, but I hate using more than 2 as I feel my polish looks too thick and doesn't last as well.
I am really impressed with the lasting power of Orly (this is the second of their polishes I have tried) and find it lasts for 4 days without looking tired and in need of changing. I found First Kiss to apply smoothly and non-streakily. I also love the Orly rubberized cap.
Overall I like this polish, but I'm not sure whether I would re-purchase. I prefer my white-pink shades but this is nice for a change. I will however, be purchasing more Orly colours.

First Kiss was from Orly's Spring 2008 collection. It's a light pinky-white color. It's an exact dupe of OPI Passion, but it's more opaque so you can't get the same sheerness as OPI Passion with one coat. I prefer OPI Passion because I like being able to get a sheer first coat, but First Kiss is essentially an opaque version of the same color. It also dries less streaky than Passion when both are opaque, which took 4 coats of Passion (although both streak some when applying)

I asked the flight crew which side of the aircraft Uluru would be visible from and took a seat on the left side – and sure enough, we flew right over and I had a wonderful view. It was nice to see it from the air, especially considering that it was a free aerial view. I posted about taking the window seat before and I think that it is always best to sit by the window.
My next adventure would be up the coast and I booked a ticket with an organized tour company called Western Exposure. In the wee early hours of the morning I walked across from my hotel to the pickup point and saw one young woman already waiting. Within the half hour 3 more ladies showed up and it appeared as though I might be the only man on this trip. Our bus arrived (below) and we met our driver Mick (how Australian is that?) and everyone in the group introduced themselves. There was another man on board: Ian from Scotland, we had Michelle and Ronnie from Hong Kong, Trine from Denmark, Nicole from England, Andrea from Sydney and Iris and Jenna from Ottawa, Canada. When it came time to introduce myself I said, 'I've been backpacking for 16 years and Australia is my 67th country." Everyone's eyes opened a bit and there were a few comments about 67 being an impressive number. Mick came from the music industry and he worked as a producer in London for 30 years after being (as he put it) forcibly retired by the piracy of music on the internet.
We began our drive – a long drive – we would be spending most of the day on the bus and would drive for about 12 hours less a few stops. I looked down the aisle of the bus and out the front window and as far as I could see to the horizon was our long road and desert-like shrub brush along the road. I noticed a few yellow warning signs and gave a chuckle as I noticed that drivers were being warned to watch out for Kangaroo and Emu.
Mick had a wonderful collection of music and as we pulled out after our first restroom break he started with Johnny Cash's On the Road Again and this really set the mood for the trip. Slowly we began to chat a bit but it would be our first stop where everyone began to get to know each other. Our first tourist stop of the day was to Pinnacles Park. I'd never heard of the Pinnacles before and I wasn't too excited about the stop – until I got out of the bus and saw them and then I was impressed. The Pinnacles are really quite unique and exotic looking and they reminded me of Bryce Canyon in the United States. Everywhere throughout this park were these odd looking rock formations sticking up out of the sand.
Some of the Pinnacles where short, maybe a meter (3 feet) tall and some were a towering 8 or 9 feet (2 ½ – 3 meters). As Mick began explaining how these Pinnacles came to be, I listened with great interest as we walked along looking at them. It seems that hard water deposits formed around the roots of trees that grew in the ancient coast line and after time were buried and then compressed. As the ground has eroded these hard water deposits are heartier than the other compressed soil and rock and they remain as the wind and elements wear away the ground surface. The wind and elements further shape the Pinnacles giving them a unique and weathered look.
One thing that I was not expecting and really surprised me was the massive assault by flies. There were flies everywhere and as soon as you stopped walking they swooped in buzzed your ears and face. It was then that I remember a German tourist at Uluru telling me that the flies in Uluru were not as bad as when she was on the west coast. Ugh, I hope they don't get worse as we head north.
We walked around for about 45 minutes and over each little hill top we saw more and more – hundreds of these Pinnacles. I took this photo (below) of one of the fields of Pinnacles – the photo shows only one direction but we were surrounded by these little rock structures.
As Australia has a much smaller population than America or Europe and the number of travelers to the west seems to be quite limited, tourists are allowed to walk through the Pinnacles, touch them and pose for photos (as I did in the pic below). As I continued to travel through Australia I would find that public access to many areas that I would consider delicate or sensitive still allowed public access. In many of the national parks people are allowed to climb on rock formations, swim in pools and touch things that would be off limits in many other countries. Much of the land out here is completely unspoiled and the population density is quite low; we might drive for 20 minutes before seeing another car. This low tourist impact is a big benefit to traveling in Australia, especially in the west.
We climbed up to a wooden platform atop the highest bluff that offered a 360 degree view of the park and I was able to see all the way back to the ocean. I captured a photo of the shore line and sure enough, the entire foreground is full of Pinnacles.
I wasn't really expecting much before we arrived at the Pinnacles but I was quite happy with our visit. Aside from the flies, I found the Pinnacles Park a wonderful excursion and really enjoyed looking at and photographing the Pinnacles. Any caravan tourists that are coming up the coast, I recommend making a stop and checking them out :-)

Wireless networks pose a growing computer security risk as the popularity of the technology proliferates in coffee shops, homes and workplaces, and federal agencies are not responding to the mounting threat, government auditors said May 17.
Agencies do not have complete controls for securing wireless networks and nine have not issued any policies on wireless networks, according to a new Government Accountability Office report (GAO-05-383). Thirteen agencies have no requirements for setting up secure wireless networks and a majority fail to monitor the networks enough to stop outsiders from gaining access.
In wireless network tests at six Washington-based agencies, GAO found signal leakage outside the agencies' perimeters, making networks more susceptible to attack from outside hackers. There were also wireless-enabled devicesworking with unsecured configurations and unauthorized, undetected wireless activity at each of the the six agencies.
Wireless networks use radio waves to send data to computers equipped with receiving devices and are anywhere from 150 to 15,000 feet to away from the wireless access points. The networks are common in cafes, malls, hotels, schools, airports and businesses. They are inexpensive and easy to install compared with traditional wired networks, but considerably harder to secure from hackers.
For the report, GAO analysts drove around a 15 square block of downtown Washington and detected more than a thousand wireless networks using an off-the-shelf wireless network scanner.
In addition to guarding against traditional hacking attacks, such as worms and viruses, wireless networks have to protect against attacks exploiting wireless transmissions. If a wireless network is not controlled properly, passwords, sensitive data and other information about an organization can be easily accessed.
Hackers can eavesdrop on transmissions, monitor the amount of traffic between users on the network, pretend to be an authorized user and exploit the access to the network, and intercept messages between users and alter them before resending them. Wireless networks can be shut down by hackers flooding the system with excess radio signals.
GAO recommended that agencies develop comprehensive polices on the implementation of wireless networks, define computer's configuration requirements, establish monitoring programs, and train employees and contractors on the new policies.
The 2002 Federal Information Security Management Act requires the Office of Management and Budget to oversee agencies' security policies based on standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs notified GAO auditors that NIST is scheduled to release the new guidance in August and agencies are primarily responsible for complying with FISMA requirements. As apart of its annual review of agencies' information security programs, OMB said it would look at whether agencies are securing new technologies like wireless networks before giving them approval for use.

You and your customers both know it: The more data you collect, the better you're able to personalize their customer experience. Despite that, your leads aren't always forthcoming with their data because entering their information acts as a speed bump to the seamless search for knowledge they're on. Every bit of friction they encounter while information-gathering could become a sticking point past which they won't travel, so create forms that are simple enough to please time-sensitive visitors yet complete enough to serve your data collection needs. With improved forms for direct data collection and data enhancement to complete your files, you'll have everything you need to know about your leads.
Here's how to get the most data with the least resistance.
Right-Size Your Forms
How long should your forms be? One school of thought suggests keeping forms as brief as possible to minimize resistance from leads; the other recommends more detailed forms to gather as much information as possible. You want your forms to live at the intersection between these two extremes – long enough to provide detail yet short enough to create a minimal imposition on your leads. If you've been paring down your forms to the barest essentials, it might be time to ask for more from your potential customers.
The key to adding more fields to your forms is spacing the requests out in ways that don't look as daunting. Mixing in radio buttons and drop-down lists with self-entry fields streamlines the process of filling out forms while improving the accuracy of your data. For example, if you ask for a lead's industry type, a drop-down menu ensures you get data that's automatically normalized. Radio buttons to select company size ranges turn a data field of hundreds of disparate answers into four or five groups.
Leave Some Space
Think about your last trip to a museum or art gallery. Were the works of art jumbled in a cluttered cluster that pulled your focus in multiple directions, or were they displayed against neutral backgrounds with plenty of empty space around them to create a clean-lined look that allowed you to contemplate each one separately? Information-dense forms that leave little white space feel like work to fill out. Instead, give your forms room to breathe and make your leads feel less cramped.
Work in Stages
A two- or three-page form sounds daunting, but with thoughtful design and an understanding of psychology, they can have higher completion rates than single forms. A form that asks for two pieces of information on each of three pages sometimes feels less onerous than one that asks for five items up front even though it nets you more data. The key to using staged forms well is to make them feel clean and simple. In the example above, that multi-page journey should feel like three easy steps rather than six more complex ones.
Another way to improve completion rates with staged forms is to reward your leads for filling out each section. Most people are completionists to some extent; they don't want to walk away from something when it's unfinished. Show a progress bar on each page of your form process, and you give leads an incentive to finish what they started.
Get Smart with Forms
Marketing technology now lets you use smarter forms that remember past visitors' information. Instead of asking them for the same data again and again, you can auto-fill those lines and ask for a few more pieces of information with each subsequent visit. Progressive forms that are smart enough to welcome prior visitors back and retain information from previous visits give you a chance to ask for more information instead of covering familiar ground, and they contribute to better customization for your leads.
Double Down with Data Enhancement
Not all the information you gather about your leads has to come directly from them. With data enhancement services, you gain new insights into your house list or acquire entirely new markets with customer information already in place. By filling in blank spaces with data your leads have shared elsewhere on subscriptions, tradeshow attendee information, or sales forms, you're able to learn more about them without the need to ask them. Adding behavioral data into the mix gives you knowledge about prospects that they may not even know about themselves.
Whether it comes from third-party data enhancement or improved forms on your own site, knowledge gives you power – the power to serve your customers better and earn their loyalty.

Letter to the Editor in Today's Daily Camera
ISRAEL-PALESTINE: Peretz offered up heaps of baloney
The scholarly prose of Martin Peretz's piece, "The New Fellow Travelers" (Insight, June 29), promised enlightenment, but delivered instead a super-sized helping of baloney. For those of us interested in understanding the valid concerns on both sides of the Israeli-Palestianian issue, based on facts and evidence, Peretz' propaganda was useless.
Among others, his statement that "we've had nearly a decade of Palestinian rule in the West Bank and Gaza" is completely false. Since the Six Day War of 1967, Israel has sustained an illegal military occupation of Palestinian land, including the West Bank (of the Jordan River), Gaza and East Jerusalem; hence the term "occupied territories." How would we Americans react if, say, Canada — imagine for a moment that they have a far-superior military — were to invade our country, throw us off our land, bulldoze our homes, murder our families, and deny us water resources needed for our livelihood?
Why should we care about the Israeli-Palestinian issue? First, Israel is by far the largest recipient of U.S. aid, receiving billions each year — which makes us an active participant in this conflict. Our tax dollars and defense industry provide Israel's military hardware, which is used to execute Israeli terror. Our tax dollars are building Israel's behemoth "separation wall" (aka "apartheid wall") near Qalqilya, which dwarfs the Berlin Wall and will eventually separate about 300,000 Palestinians from their land.
We should care because extreme Zionist interests do indeed affect U.S.-Mideast foreign policy, including the decision to invade Iraq. Finally, we should care because it is within our power to strongly advocate a truly fair and nonviolent resolution to this conflict.

After seeing the wonderful production of Mary's Wedding, I thought again how WW1 affected my family. My mother was born on February 4th, 1918, and her father, Private George Drysdale of the 10th Battalion, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, was killed on Friday, 23rd August, 1918, on the Somme in France. So, my mother never knew her father. Unlike Mary, my grandmother never re-married, as most of the young men in Argyllshire were wiped out too. My auntie Bett never married for the same reason. My mother grew up in a house of women, with her mother, aunt and grandmother. She never had any siblings.
In August of 2001, my sister and I, with our husbands, took my mother to the Heath Cemetery, at Harbonierres, Somme, France, to see her father's grave for the first time. She was very moved to finally see her father's resting place.
For me, my grandfather's ultimate sacrifice was a waste of a promising young man's life. George Drysdale never met his only child. His wife was a single parent for many years. His daughter never had a father to guide her growing up. I agree with Mary in Mary's Wedding, peace is better than war, war is pointless. I am a pacificist.

The Asia Pacific enterprise smartphone market is set for a shakeup over the next five years with analyst firm, Ovum, predicting that the Windows Phone will make up 25 per cent of sales by 2016.
In a new report called Enterprise Smartphone Forecast: 2011 – 2016, the company has forecast that enterprise shipments of Windows Phone smartphones in Asia Pacific will reach 1.1 million in 2016, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37 per cent compared to shipments of 236,000 during 2011.
However, Ovum principal analyst, Pauline Trotter, said in a statement that BlackBerry would continue its dominance, with 25 per cent market share of shipments in 2016.
"Enterprise shipments of BlackBerry will grow from 638,000 at the end of this year to 1.1 million at the end of 2016, a CAGR of 121 per cent," she said.
According to Ovum, sales of the Apple iPhone would increase in the enterprise due to the continuing consumerisation of IT trend. Shipments were predicted to reach 455,000 in 2016, a CAGR of 19 per cent, compared to numbers of 189,000 in 2011.
Smartphones running on the Android operating system (OS) were forecast to achieve a CAGR of 29 per cent while other operating systems such as Symbian were predicted to reach 18 per cent CAGR in 2016.
"The majority of companies in Asia Pacific do not provide mobile devices to their employees so the bring your own device [BYOD] policy is already a reality in the region," Trotter said.
"Rather than aiming at improving end-user satisfaction this is driven primarily by cost constraints."
Trotter added that business smartphone shipments would rise from 2.5 million at the end of 2011 to 4.5 million by 2016, a CAGR of 12 per cent.
BlackBerry would remain the overall leader for the forecast period as its device management and security capabilities made it a "favourite" with IT departments, Trotter said.
"Reflecting trends in the consumer smartphone market, Windows Phone and other operating systems will make significant gains. Ongoing improvements in manageability of these device platforms, and support for more business applications, will begin to make these devices much more appealing to enterprise buyers."

Happy are Those Whose Help is the God of Jesse - An ON Scripture Feature
Psalm 146:5-10 - A reflection by Lisa Nichols Hickman
After learning about Jesse Lewis, a six year old who died in the Sandy Hook shooting a year ago this December 14th, I'm thinking about scratching out the name Jacob in Psalm 146 and writing in Jesse.
Psalm 146, verse 5 says, "Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God." I'm wondering if scratching out Jacob and writing in Jesse, at least in these upcoming weeks, might be a way of praying to transform anger and resentment into love and forgiveness.
Jesse was a pretty amazing six-year old who loved adventures, mud, a golden yellow bear and his big brother. His mom says he was "full of courage and strength," so much so, that in the midst of the unfolding tragedy Jesse stood still and told his classmates to "Run!" In so doing, he lost his life.
Scarlett Lewis, Jesse's mom, returned home after the unthinkable tragedy only to find something wonderful Jesse had scratched onto the kitchen chalkboard Norturing, helin, love. His mom knew immediately these were Jesse's last words to her: Nurturing, healing, love. In her book, Nurturing Healing Love: A Mother's Journey of Hope & Forgiveness, Scarlett tells the story of her journey to forgiveness and hope as a legacy beyond anger and resentment. She begins, of course, with Jesse's story.
I'm writing Jesse's words into the margins of my Bible next to Psalm 146. His words are an invitation to live differently than the way our culture pushes us to exist. His words make sense when I read them alongside this ancient text of Psalm 146.
In three verses, Psalm 146 makes nine statements about the nurturing, healing and loving initiatives of the Lord God; the Creator God who made the earth, all its inhabitants and kindles the faith of those who continue to belief despite life's tragedies.
In verse seven, the Psalmist names the first three: this God will execute justice, give food to the hungry and set the prisoner's free. This is a description of the divine actions of a God who nurtures. The Latin root of the word nurture means "to feed" and "to cherish" and clearly we see those actions in these divine initiatives. God cherishes justice, this Lord cherishes freedom for those wrongly imprisoned and this God cherishes full bellies, particularly for those children (and countries) who are hungry only by way of the greed of this world. Jesse Lewis may still have been learning how to spell "nurturing," but he certainly lived into the fullness of its meaning as he cherished the lives he would protect in his last moments.
As the eighth verse unfolds, we encounter three additional divine verbs: opens, lifts and loves. These movements are the outpouring of a God who heals. Here, the Lord opens the eyes of the blind, lifts up those who are bowed down in grief, and loves those who are seeking to be made right with God. Healing here is interactive: there is a divine encounter that is met within the everyday movements of ordinary life. I have a feeling that in a place as ordinary as the kitchen of Jesse Lewis, there were moments that encounters between the fridge and the dishwasher became a sanctuary for opening eyes to grace, lifting off the backpack filled with the weight of a hard day, loving the kid with the skinned knee and the tadpole in his pocket. Healing is always tucked between nurturing and loving because it is born of the intimacy that bandages the knee of the golden bear tucked underarm immediately after the presenting wound is patched.
"Love" is the last world I will write in the margins of Psalm 146, right next to verse nine and its injunction to watch over the stranger, uphold the widow and the orphan and bring the way of the wicked to ruin. Love is easy to scrawl next to the first two divine actions: watch over and uphold. Love always does these two things. The third one is a little tougher, but the Psalmist asks us to consider that in love, God will bring the way of the wicked to ruin. Even more than we, God grieves the devastation caused by the shooting at Sandy Hook. God aches for the widows, the orphans and the mothers and fathers who have lost their children to untimely tragedy. Out of that love, God does tend wisely to those wicked things beyond our control and beyond our comprehension. Our work is to love fiercely in all the ways we can. Jesse Lewis knew that: love the stranger on the playground, love the one who doesn't have someone to hold them at the end of a hard day.
Many have tended to a tradition at Christmas called the Jesse Tree where twenty-four ornaments are hung day by day on a tree, slowly telling the salvation story from Genesis to Revelation. This Christmas, I am zooming in on those three words taught to us by Jesse Lewis: Nurturing. Healing. Love. And I am letting Psalm 146 flesh out nine divine initiatives I might lean into as an act of choosing that love Jesse Lewis knew so well. Jesse Lewis invites us this advent season to consider what it means to "Choose Love" and his family has started a foundation to nurture those acts of compassion in classrooms across the globe.
Happy are those whose help is the God of this Jesse - Jesse Lewis - who in his short life, mastered three words it takes most of us a lifetime to learn: nurture, heal, love.

Out of print in the United States for nearly thirty years, this newly restored and newly translated version of the Russian science fiction classic is back, and ready to be discovered by a new generation. Like Calvino's Invisible Cities, this novel gives only an impression of setting rather than anything concrete. Through the fragmented narrative, a story of life on Earth following an alien visitation emerges. The tone is serious and more than a little existential, but it is executed with smooth perfection by two master storytellers.
Like an ice-cold glass of lemonade, this book is great anytime of the year but best enjoyed in the summer. Nostalgia trickles from every page of this story about young Douglas Spaulding and his magical summer of '28. Perfect for those too old for their toys and too young for the burdens of adulthood.
Each story in this collection operates slightly to the left of reality. They are often as evocative as they are humorous. Despite their fantastical elements, it is the mundane events of the characters' everyday that give these stories their weight. It is here that the reader can connect to the human themes of love and loss, nostalgia and desire. Fans of Murakami's acclaimed novels take note; he is a true master of the short story.
As Kublai Khan's empire is about to fall, Marco Polo eases Khan's pain with tales of far away travels. He recounts the cities he has visited in such a way that they often border on poetry. Each vignette is like a tiny beautiful impressionist painting. Calvino's masterwork is at once hopeful and despairing, exact and vague; all are quiet flashes of perfection.
To say this is a "Must Read" would be redundant. Yes, at some point in one's life, everyone should read Don Quixote. When that day comes for you, be sure to read Edith Grossman's translation. It's the best, hands down. Oh, and the Harold Bloom introduction isn't too shabby either.
The America Steinbeck reflects upon in this novel (mid-1960s) feels largely unchanged in our present. It is a country of tension and war, of kindness and peace. Steinbeck drew from this duality and crafted a passionate story of life on the road. Full of rich characters that make up the American pastiche, Travels With Charley is a calmer and more mature On The Road. The sweeping experience of this lean novel could only have been achieved by an author of the highest order.
The literary world celebrates a disparate collection of international writers, but rarely are the translators of their works ever mentioned. Edith Grossman does these unsung heroes a great justice in 'Why Translation Matters.' In this concise and indispensable book, Grossman explores the cultural role translation participates within. The act of translation is ultimately shown to be one of interpretation rather than simple verbatim, providing new readers with fresh perspectives and engaging interplay with the text. You will never read Marquez, Saramago, Dostoevsky, or Flaubert in the same way again.
A favorite childhood story of mine. It is the tale of a brother and sister's journey across a nameless sea on a boat called the Maggie B. Rich, vivid images combine with a wonderfully sweet tale, to create a special experience. A must read and see for children and adults. "This is a story of a wish come true."
Marquez was already well-established as one of the greatest storytellers by the time he penned this book. Though operating outside his usual genre, this nonfiction work still reflects his passion and prowess. Clandestine retells the events of Miguel Littin, who fled Chile after the 1973 coup. A decade later he returns, in disguise, planning to film a documentary about life under Pinochet's rule. Deeply, deeply engaging.
I first encountered Dumanis at a reading just after "My Soviet Union" was published. Immediately, I was struck by his unique sense of rhythm and even more unique subject matter. His poetry is at once humorous and sorrowful. His voice is very much his own. For lovers of Frank O'Hara and Joseph Cornell, the synthesis is Michael Dumanis.
It is easy to view this collection as nothing more than a postmortem closet cleaning of Vonnegut's unpublished throwaways. It is, assuredly, nothing of the sort. The stories are a mix-bag of satire, witticism, unique characterization, and subtle, social critique. Fan's of Vonnegut's other work, most notably Welcome to the Monkey House, will enjoy these stories, though they are very accessible to all.
American Noir: 11 Classic Crime Novels of the 1930s, 40s, & 50s: A Library of America Boxed Set (Hardcover)
Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler opened a Pandora's Box of literary sin with the hardboiled detective. In their wake came a group of writers who further explored the themes of crime, guilt, and obsessive ardor. All the greats are here in this sleek two-volume collection, everyone from James M. Cain and Jim Thompson to Patricia Highsmith and Cornell Woolrich. Throughout this collection, you will find all the classic tropes that help signify the genre; rainy city nights, wary drifters, femme fatales, and that distinctive hardboiled dialogue. Many of these novels were turned into wonderful film noir hits during the 40s and 50s. Fans of those films take note, here are the sources.
