They recommend it for you :
- If you have dry or sensitive skin
- If you want the skin care effect while cleansing
- If you are looking for cleanser to clean out pores
PS : But hey, i have an oily-combination skin and have no problem with this oil.
For the first time i tried, it has a not so strong smell which i like. I mixed it up with the black sugar facial polish to get 2 in 1 job. Cleanse and exfoliate.
The mixture didn't dry my skin, and the sugar didn't hurt my skin.
The mixture didn't dry my skin, and the sugar didn't hurt my skin.
How i used it?
I took 1 pumped of cleansing oil (with a little scrub) then massaged all over my face and neck. Then rinsed with water.
The oil will emulsified and just gone like that. :)
I didn't feel any grease or dry feeling after oil+scrub thing. It just did good!
BUT, if you feel greasy or heavy after the oil cleansing, just use a wash cloth or do double cleanse with your favorite face wash/ foam.
How it did on my makeup face? I don't know yet. I'll try it tomorrow because i never put makeup on lately.
After many times i used this cleansing oil (alone or combine with the scrub) i always like this cleansing oil. but i prefer to use it with the scrub.
First, this Cleansing Oil is super rich.
For you guys who have a struggle with dry skin, hello, you'll find this amazing on your skin.
But i have an oily skin. It felt a little too rich for me. I always double cleansed with my facial foam afterward.
when i combined it with the black sugar, this was amazing. It made my skin super soft and moist without too much rich feeling after. The scrub became less harsh and the oil moisten my skin well.
It is claimed for all skin type but it really is okay for oily skin type.
But i suggest you to combine with the sugar polish or double cleanse it.
How about for makeup?
It is not for heavy make-up. I prefer to use it for my daily bare-with-sunscreen face.
It is not for heavy make-up. I prefer to use it for my daily bare-with-sunscreen face.
But if i use my foundation, it was hard to made it clean with one-way-go. But it is not a big problem if i triple cleanse it with tissue makeup remover-cleansing oil-facial foam.
- Not harsh
- Moisten my skin
- Better if it is combined with the sugar polish
- You'll find it a a little bit pricey but i have a solution for your problem.

Daniel's unique Arranmore Island concert confirmed
Daniel O'Donnell will be taking another trip abroad later this year but this unique occasion requires no visas, passports or airport queues.
The Kincasslagh man will be making one of his rare appearances on one of the islands of our coast at Early's Bar on Arranmore.
The much-anticipated performance will take place on August 7 and the islanders will be afforded the first opportunity of getting tickets for the popular concert.
Without a doubt the tickets for this unique show will be in huge demand with both the local community and many who love the whole island atmosphere.
The star began his career on Arranmore island and rarely lets a year go by when he fails to return to the island "This is a great honour for us, and just shows how much Daniel respects the Arranmore people," Jerry Early said.
He added, "Tickets will go on sale in May for the event."

When enjoying the spectacular landing at Nice airport and approaching from the west, you are bound to notice the two small islands off the coast of Cannes, Ile Sainte Marguerite and Ile Saint Honorat, known collectively as the Iles de Lérins (along with two much smaller and uninhabited islands). Both car free islands offer a huge contrast to the hustle and bustle and frenetic pace of the French Riviera and in this article, I will focus on the smaller and less visited of the two, Ile Saint Honorat. Famed for its historical and still functioning medieval abbey run by Cistercian monks and for the special wines and liqueurs that they produce locally, this small island of just 40 hectares is full of bucolic charm and splendid views and can be visited all year round. Carry on reading this article to experience a total culture shock, just 25 minutes from the port of Cannes and for full photos of my visit, please visit the Ile Saint Honorat album on the French Riviera Blog Facebook page.

On the golden trail of the mimosa trees in Tanneron: an early spring hike in the Var
At the start of every year, from December to March, the sunny hills on the western side of the Alpes Maritimes spring alive in a golden explosion, thanks to the blooming of the mimosa trees, with their bright yellow flowers. The tiny village of Tanneron in the Var department is the hub of this "mimosa trail". Having had a brief walk around there in 2004, I decided to go on a proper hike in the area and see this golden vision for myself…
A week on the French Riviera: the essential sights of the Côte d'Azur with seven unmissable day trips
The summer season is fully upon us and the French Riviera is filling up with tourists: this means fireworks, music festivals, farniente beach time and outdoor dinners, amongst plenty of other activities, so here's a quick guide on how to enjoy a fun-filled week here.
Of course, plenty of visitors just want to relax and enjoy days at the beach, but feel free to pick and mix according to your centres of interest. These day-long excursions are ideal if undertaken from Nice, located bang in the centre of the French Riviera, but plenty of them are also feasible if you are based further down the coast, either east or west, as long as you have access to the main railway line.
Cannes and its annual Film Festival: kicking off the summer season in style on the French Riviera
Since 1946, the Cannes Film Festival has been synonymous with the glitz of the Riviera. Along with the Monaco Grand Prix, which takes place pretty at the same time in May each year, it is one of the major annual events of the French Riviera and really marks the beginning of the summer season.
Last week I had the opportunity to visit Cannes where the jewellery brand I work for, APM Monaco, was sponsoring several events at the 67th edition of the Festival and therefore managed to soak up some of the atmosphere of this legendary event, which I will be sharing in this article. So if you fancy discovering the lowdown on the Festival, finding out what else to see and do in the town and get some practical information on how to cope in Cannes during the festival amongst the crowds, just carry on reading!

Chew on this fact: According to U.S. government agency the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of obese people in the U.S. between the ages of six and 19 has doubled in the last 30 years. Today, 13% to 14% of U.S. kids in this age bracket are considered overweight. While the health implications of these stats should not be glossed over, the reality is that an increase in the number of larger adolescents is creating a new market for apparel retailers. As kids, especially girls, move into their teens, many who reside in the size-14-plus club are faced with few enticing options at the mall–and some of North America's savvier retailers are now trying to fill that gap.
This spring, City of Industry, California-based Hot Topic unveiled Torrid, a cluster of plus-size-only outlets catering to women ages 15 to 30. Hot Topic launched six test stores across the U.S. (in Boston; Omaha; Denver; San Diego; Brea, California; and Annapolis, Maryland) that offer women sizes 14 to 26 an array of fashion-forward clothing and accessories running the gamut between clubwear and goth.
'There are no precise numbers available, but we think that plus-size shoppers represent a large segment of the population–no pun intended–that has not yet been adequately addressed by retailers,' says Jay Johnson, senior VP of strategic analysis and investor relations at Hot Topic. Based on census data and proprietary studies commissioned by Hot Topic, Johnson estimates that 25% of women ages 15 to 30 wear a size 14 or higher, and he thinks that number has grown considerably in the last decade.
Over the past few years, the company also noticed an increase in customer comments (via e-mail feedback and in-store response cards) complaining that there are so few places for plus-size girls to shop, says Johnson. A year and a half after introducing a plus-size section in stores and on-line at www.hottopic.com, Hot Topic saw a 'dramatic sell-through' on those items.
The next step was to decide whether to open a stand-alone store. Though the company could have just expanded the plus-size sections, Johnson says that would have meant upsetting the merchandising balance of the stores, which sell to both men and women. What's more, he says focus group testing overwhelmingly revealed that these girls wanted their own stores.
Located in malls, each of the six Torrid stores occupies 2,500 square feet–representing a larger space than most Hot Topic locations, which average 1,900 square feet. They also target an older demographic of women ages 15 to 30, although Johnson estimates that 50% are under the age of 20. By contrast, Hot Topic's core customer group is made up of tweens and teens ages 12 to 19. Torrid's merchandise mix consists of 25% accessories and 75% apparel, which is split between Hot Topic brands and well-known labels like Paris Blues and Z Cavarichi.
With no existing size specifications for junior plus-sizes, Torrid had to work with vendors to develop them, says Johnson. Since launching the stores last April, vendors have been eager to start creating products for this customer group. 'They see it as an untapped market,' says Johnson.
So far, Johnson says the performance of the six test stores has been strong, with sales increasing daily And though Johnson would not comment on the future of the chain, Hot Topic CEO and president Elizabeth McLaughlin hinted strongly that more Torrid store launches were pending during an August conference call about the company's Q2 results (which saw 32% revenue growth for the period). According to Johnson, Hot Topic will make an announcement on the future of Torrid early this quarter.
Another company that has recognized the opportunity in plus-size junior wear is Montreal, Canada-based Penningtons Superstore. Last year, the retailer, which specializes in plus-size fashions for women, introduced a junior section for teens into its 117 locations. Called 'un, deux, trois,' the section offers two proprietary lines: Club Wear, which includes items such as black spandex shirts and sequin-studded bengaline pants; and Casual Wear, which offers everyday gear like jeans and sweaters.
Management at Penningtons, a division of retail conglomerate Reitmans Canada Ltd., identified the need for a junior section after witnessing a group of girls shopping in its teen-targeting sister store Smart Set. 'Inevitably one or two of the girls would struggle to fit into regular sizes, but they couldn't–they were plus-size girls,' says Jon Plens, VP of sales and operations at Penningtons. 'We realized then that there was no place in Canada to find suitable junior fashions for this customer.' To date, shoppers have responded favorably to the section, which, having launched at 100 square feet, has since grown to an area of between 400 and 500 square feet–representing 15% to 20% of the store.
Beyond the size issue, both retailers say there's little difference in merchandising apparel for plus-size teens. 'Our Torrid customers want the latest cutting-edge fashions, and they want to shop for them in a place where they can feel good about themselves,' says Hot Topic's Johnson.
With prominent chains like Gap Kids, Talbots and Limited 2 also expanding into kids plus-sizes, industry watchers like Elizabeth Pierce, a retail analyst at L.A.-based Wedbush Morgan Securities, believe this sector holds major growth potential. 'Plus-size kids eventually become teenagers, and a lot of them will maintain the same physique,' she says. 'They should have the option of wearing trend-right merchandise, instead of big, boxy, ugly-looking clothes.'

"Where are you from?" I am constantly asked this; and although it sounds like a simple question, I have always found it difficult to answer. I was born in Los Angeles and spent the first 18 years of my life in the suburbs. Nevertheless, when I told people this, they would cock their heads to the side and give me a confusing stare. They look as if they are dissecting my physical features and assigning me to various countries. I now smile and say, "I'm from Los Angeles, but to answer what you really want to know: my parents are from the Philippines." Problem solved, right? Since discovering my Filipino heritage, they find it important to tell me about their Filipino friend. They soon begin naming Filipino dishes or shouting curse words they learned. I do not have any negative opinions towards this typecast; however, my identity does not fit this description.
Although I was raised in a Filipino family, ate Filipino food, and heard all the Filipino curse words in an angry parent's vocabulary, I identify with the Filipino culture as I do with any other culture. I am intrigued with cultural rituals, but don't religiously practice them; I enjoy trying the unfamiliar food, but I cannot cook a dish without a kitchen fire; and on the rare occasion that I can speak a few learned words, I am still unable to hold a fluid conversation. Since I fall on the boundaries of various typecasts, I have found it hard to proudly identify myself with a specific ethnicity and cultural background.
The truth is: I have always been searching for my identity and searching for a real connection with people, a connection in which one communicates personal identity. This identity is not limited to a cultural background; rather,

New Year's Resolutions
I have had a serious think about what I aim to achieve in terms of my writing. I am hoping that after my Open University course finishes in May I can polish off whatever I have written up to that point.
My biggest hope would be to complete 2 manuscripts before next Christmas even slithers its way into people's thoughts. The biggest problem that will be faced by myself and many others will be the acquisition of time to sit down and do things.
Time is our biggest friend and our biggest enemy… so let's steer in the path that we wish to travel down.
Happy New Year to one and all!

|A Monarch in flight
The Monarch butterflies suddenly appear at the fence line and are drawn to the yellow blooms, but many of the other insects that were there are all along, so excited about the Virginia Mountain Mint a few months ago, are now just as happy to feed on the nectar of the beggar-tick bidens.
If I had not watched this compilation of nature clips that I had made over the past few months, I might not have noticed how the predominant white of the Virginia Mountain Mint gave way to the overpowering yellow of the beggar-tick bidens. From a distance, they remind me of the safflower fields in the movie Only Yesterday.
If all the same flowers were blooming throughout the spring and summer, how different it would be for the butterflies and bees! Wouldn't they neglect some flowers in favor of others? Bow is like that, too. I had to learn to buy fewer apples when there are pears to be had. And when handing out a snack between meals, it is important that it not be calorie dense, or else Bow will not be ready for dinner at the usual time.
That's why Pickle Ice is such a wonderful snack! Bow enjoys it very much, but I don't have to worry that it will spoil his dinner.
Because there are no calories in Pickle Ice, just water and vinegar and salt, Bow finds it refreshing, but it does not alter his diet. It does not displace other foods.
I remember when he was little, and we brought him to Orchard House to be tested on his literacy and language skills. It was an objective test, and he was offered chocolate, if he did it right. But even though Bow has always liked chocolate, he did not even try to do well on the test. In fact, he stubbornly insisted on answering every single question wrong. When a test subject consistently does that, and his wrong answers exceed chance, you know he is resisting. And one of the interns asked me: "Didn't he just have breakfast?" Well, yes, of course, he had. What mother would bring her child in to take an academic test on an empty stomach?
And what were they thinking? That I should deprive him of breakfast? That I should starve him before the test? That he would skip breakfast and then fill up on chocolate? I was never going to allow that.
So here's a question that I have for researchers who use food as an incentive to do well at a task: does the reward food displace the everyday ordinary meals, or do the test subjects have bottomless pits for stomachs? I sometimes wonder if the same basic issues that plague academic economists in understanding the free market are at work in the studies of behavioral researchers. Nature abhors a vacuum. You cannot change what's available without changing the balance of things.
But... if I were to offer Bow an incentive to do well on a test today, I wouldn't offer chocolate. I'd offer Pickle Ice, because Bow likes that a lot, and he can even enjoy it on a full stomach. So there's a thought.

My god. I can't believe that this is my first post for poor, lonely #ROW80. The newness has worn from our relationship; I can't deny that. What was once anticipated, as a small child anticipates Christmas, went through the drudge stage of "here's another blah #ROW80 post. Goals, shmoals," to complete abandonment as my head was turned by wittier, more challenging challenges, ala A-to-Z blog challeng for 2013. "But it's only a month!" I told #ROW80. Cold silence was #ROW80's response.
Ever the fickle one, I tossed my head and went merrily on my way, writing about Beethoven, being Idle, Amusement, Vidkun Quisling (stretching there) and that last refuge of scoundrels, Runescape, an MMORPG, that at 57, I shouldn't even BE a gamer. Still, 95 year olds play the damn thing, so I'm safe.
At any rate, poor #ROW80 may not take me back on May 1st, and my lackluster, feeble attempt to make up and be as one again, will probably be seen for what it is; a "pity make up, until something better comes along." There's a 90-day blogging challenge. Eww.
To prove that I am sincere, I've brought you flowers and everything, #ROW80, on this off-day Sunday-check in, free from blogging to A to Z. I'll see you in 10 days or so, #ROW80.
I'm shameless, is what I am...

We've learned that population genetics is the study of genetic variation within a population. Now, if you recall, genetic variation arises from differences in the genetic code and can be measured as observable differences in the characteristics of an organism.
For instance, a mutation can alter the genotype of a gene and create a new allele. That allele, in turn, can result in the creation of a new characteristic, or phenotype. That means that, at its core, population genetics is a study of the allelic, genotypic, and phenotypic variation within a population. This information can then be used to determine whether or not a population is evolving and make a prediction regarding cause of the evolution.
For our research project, let's see how the traits we've been studying, like coat color and fire-breath, affect a wild flying hamster population.
Instead of analyzing the progeny of a single cross like we did earlier with Punnett squares, this time we're going to analyze the genotype and phenotype of all of the progeny of an entire population of flying hamsters. Adrian suggests we use the Hardy-Weinberg equation for our studies.
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation describes genotypic frequency in a population. When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allelic and genotypic frequency can be predicted by the equation. However, for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, several criteria must be met.
First, mating must be random. The genotype of individuals at the gene being studied can't affect mate choice.
Second, the population size must be very large, virtually infinite. If you're considering a population of four individuals, random death of a single individual would significantly alter the genetic makeup of that population. In contrast, a random death in a population of, say, 10,000 individuals, would not.
The third criterion for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is that there can be no migration between populations. If individuals enter or leave the population being studied, the genetic makeup of the population is altered.
Fourth, there can be no mutations. Mutations could introduce new alleles or alter the effect of alleles currently being studied.
Finally, natural selection cannot affect the alleles under consideration. If individuals with a specific genotype are more likely to survive and reproduce, the genetic makeup of the population can be significantly altered.
If it seems like an awful lot of restrictions for this equation to work, you're right. Would all of these conditions ever be met in a population that we'd find in the wild? The answer is almost surely, 'no.' If that's the case, then what's the point in learning this fancy equation?
The answer is that using this equation can tell us whether or not an evolutionary agent is affecting a population we're studying. That is, allele frequency within a population should not change from generation to generation unless an evolutionary agent changes it. Therefore, if we can establish that a population in nature has deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we can conclude that the genetic makeup of the population is changing, and maybe we can conduct further studies to infer the major evolutionary agents at work.

John Terry saw his Chelsea comeback game end in disaster as he was sent off as his beloved Blues routed Posh 4-1 at Stamford Bridge, this afternoon in the FA Cup 3rd round.
The skipper was returning to the side after injury and a failure to get in to the league side as the Blues cruised to the top of the Premier League.Thankfully a Pedro-inspired performance will put a little smile.
Two goals by Pedro lit up this entertaining FA Cup 3rd round match at Stamford Bridge as the Blues downed plucky League One outfit Peterborough United 4-1.
Further strikes by Willian and Michy Batshuayi saw off the plucky resistance of the Posh who did get a consolation goal through Tom Nichols.
But the game will be one that returning skipper John Terry will want to forget as he saw a straight red card from referee Kevin Friend as he slipped and bundled over Lee Angol on 67 minutes. Terry was the last man after Kurt Zouma exposed his defensive partner by not making a crucial interception.
Terry, 36, his first start since the League Cup defeat at West Ham, will be hoping to impress and force the Chelsea board to offer him another playing contract.
A move to China seems the most likely option.
A swift attack by the home side on five minutes, with left wing-back Pedro and Willian combining effectively saw the goal-bound effort blocked by right back Michael Smith
But the best chance fell to the visitors three minutes later when a regulation deep cross from the right was volleyed by striker Angol from close range. But Asmir Begovic was perfectly placed to thwart the effort.
Striker Michy Batshuayi and a fine John Terry effort, well saved by Luke McGee typified the end-to-end nature of the opening 15 minutes of this FA Cup tie.
But the deadlock was broken with a fantastic effort by Pedro on 18 minutes, after Cesc Fabregas and Nathaniel Chalobah had efforts denied by McGee.
The second saw the ball fall invitingly for Pedro, who took one touch, before smashing the ball high and into the corner of McGee's goal.
The Spaniard should have doubled the lead on 33 minutes when Loftus-Cheek passed to him in the six-yard box. Again, he took a touch to round McGee, but somehow blasted his right-footer onto the crossbar.
Two minutes before the break the Blues broke again - four against two Posh defenders.
The ball was fed to Loftus-Cheek, who side-footed to in-running Batshuayi, who rammed
a low drive past the exposed goalkeeper.
It was the Belgium's first goal in his last 13 games.
Loftus-Cheek had a wonderful chance to extend the lead two minutes after the break, but his side-footer inched wide of McGee's left post.
But class won out and Willian's sumptuous right-footed curler from the edge of the penalty area, gave McGee no chance and the Blues went 3-0.
Posh had a chance to nab a goal, but Marcus Maddison who ran three-quarters of the length of the pitch to find his striker but Chalobah managed to race back and intercept the ball before it fell to Angol.
Gary Cahill was Antonio Conte's first substitution, replaced by Ola Aina.
On 67 minutes, having seen Kurt Zouma fail to intercept a defect-splitting ball, Angol took on last man Terry, who slipped and brought the live wire down.
Referee Kevin friend opted to red card the skipper.
Conte was forced to sacrifice Loftus-Cheek for defender Cesar Azpilicueta.
But it failed to stem the attack of the visitors who, on 70 minutes, snatched a goal back through Tom Nichols.
Conte's game management proved effective as he replaced Willian for N'Golo Kante.
It had the stabilising effect and the Blues resumed their assault on the Posh goal, and with 15 minutes on the clock, Pedro arrowed home the perfect drive to make it 4-1.
The draw for the 4th round is tomorrow at 7pm
Chelsea: Begovic, Ivanovic, Fabregas, Zouma, Pedro, Loftus-Cheek, Willian, Batshuayi, Cahill, Terry, Chalobah
Subs: Eduardo, Kante, Hazard, Moses, Costa, Azpilicueta, Aina
Peterborough United: McGee, Smith, Hughes, Bostwick, Tafozolli, Edwards, Forrester, Anglo, Maddison, Da Silva Lopes, Nichols
Subs: Tyler, Taylor's, Ball, Inman, Chettle, Binnom-Williams, Samuelson
Referee: Kevin Friend

Great European Dealers
I often write about the work of our domestic Nautique dealers since our company is based here in the U.S.
Last week I had the opportunity to travel to Germany for a briefing with our European dealers. These dealers are very committed to our brand and truly live the Nautique life. They go to great lengths to make sure that Nautique customers in Europe are satisfied with their boat purchases both before and after the sale.
It was a great reminder to me that outstanding Nautique service does not stop on the shores of the U.S. —- but rather, that all of our dealerships located throughout the world are focused on complete customer satisfaction.
Back here at home, I am getting ready for the July 4th weekend. This is a great opportunity for me to spend time with my family while celebrating our country's independence. I look forward to hanging out with my family on the lake aboard our Nautique.
I hope you are equally as excited about spending time with your friends and family over this important holiday weekend. I also hope you get to spend a big part of it on a Nautique.
Enjoy the Nautique life!

|getting my selfie on.
When I woke the Friday before Elevate I said a short prayer. I prayed for peace, grace, and comfort. I prayed that our family road trip would be easy and safe. I prayed that we would leave the house on time. I prayed that I would find the answers I was looking for by the end of my trip. Even with a million things left to do before we could physically leave for Southern California, I had this overwhelming sense that on Saturday it was all going to come together.
The week before Elevate was one of the hardest in recent memory. I worked every day up until the day we were going to leave. My business cards came in and were cut off at the bottom again. My iPhone decided to die Wednesday afternoon and took with it all my pictures and contacts. I got back the contacts, not the pictures, but thank you to Instagram for staying alive this year and being my backup. Thursday I found out about some "politics" and drama that was afoot at work, and by the time I arrived home on Thursday night, I wasn't in the mood to pack or prep. I laid in bed and wondered what the hell I was doing with my life. And what on earth I was going to do with this blog.
I knew I was unhappy. I was unhappy working outside of the home. I was unhappy with the direction my blog was going, as I've had to cut down on the attention I pay to it, and I've had to almost cut all interaction with my readers. There are so many things that I have to say yes to, my children, my husband, my life, and since this blog generates no money or income, its the one thing that gets cut off my priority list. Sadly it's also one of the things that brings me great joy. Writing and interacting with my readers is one of the best things about blogging and when you cut that out, blogging just seems like a lot of work. So there I was, Thursday before Elevate, in bed crying for the seventh time that week. That's not even an exaggeration. I wish it was.
It took close to seven hours to get to our hotel. That's with plenty of stops for the girls and traffic. It also allowed for a lot thinking time. Was my employer the best employer for me? Was the job the best job for me? How is the stress of working affecting my children? How is the stress effecting me? How many nights do I spend away from home only to come home and kiss by sleeping children on their heads? Question after question, all leading to answers I wasn't ready to admit. Answers I really didn't want to face. So as we pulled into the parking lot of the hotel, I sighed. We had made it and I was ready. I was ready to breathe again. I was ready to breathe new life into my blog, into my family, and into me.
Of course I couldn't sleep on Friday night. I was just so excited. I stayed up talking to the Hubbs about the speakers. How I couldn't wait to meet so and so, and how I couldn't wait to see my bloggy buddies. I also couldn't wait to reconnect with some people I had briefly met last year, but felt like I knew since I've been social media stalking them for a year. He asked a lot of questions about the blog world, since honestly, he still after three years doesn't understand it. That's also an issue we have between us and this blog. Before Elevate he was still at a place where it just seemed like a thing I do. A place I go to vent, then spend hours on my phone on Instagram and Twitter, wasting time. And no matter how many times I try to explain to him a blogger's life, he still didn't get it. But lucky for us, Elevate changed that.
I woke on Saturday with a feeling of peace. I had some truths I needed to face. Some cold hard facts about how unhappy I had been for the month. I finally felt like I had uncovered some answers about where I wanted to be in my life and where I was. I was excited to see friends and listen to speakers, but I was also excited to be inspired. I wanted to reignite the fire that I've had for this blog. I wanted some better direction. I wanted to find that spark that I felt like I've always carried to write in this space, because I haven't felt that spark since January.
I don't have to tell you about being at Elevate. At this point I've written three recaps about being there. Elevate is about the women. The women who inspire. The women who lead. The women who gather and make new friendships over painting frames or making garlands, when that is definitely not their forte. It's about going up to women who inspire you and saying, "You are such an inspiration", and then they hug you and embrace you. Elevate is about connecting with women who are so different from you, yet so very much the same.
What I loved about Elevate this year was that within minutes of being there I knew it was exactly where I needed to be. These were my people, this was my tribe. The calm that came over me as I walked in and put my bags down. The excitement in seeing old friends and meeting new ones. The words of wisdom and courage that spoke directly to me. The fact that no one admonished me for Instagramming or Tweeting. No one was offended if I took another selfie in the middle of a program. It was welcomed and expected. At dinner I commented that I loved being at Elevate because no one was upset that I was Instagramming at the table. Because every single woman at Elevate understood the need to reconnect with those readers who were not able to attend. They understood that while we were enjoying ourselves and the day, we were and are constantly running a business and a brand. Something that is so hard to explain to those on the outside. I don't tweet and Instagram because I'm bored, I do it because I'm trying to create a community, a business, and a brand. And yes, sometimes it's in excess, but many times it's necessary.
I didn't have to explain the tears or the frustrations I've had over the last five months. I didn't have to explain how my quest for balance is one I've almost abandoned. I didn't have to go into detail about my feeling about this blog and how I feel like it's slowly dying every day I don't publish a post. All of my fears and worries, all the responsibilities I had waiting for me at home, all the emails I've neglected: they were all understood, embraced, and overlooked. Because we all have them waiting for us too. But on this day, we celebrated. We celebrated our blogs, we celebrated our lives, and we celebrated each other.
The Hubbs and the girls picked me up Saturday night, and sadly the party wasn't over yet. But I wasn't upset that I had to go. I was on a high. So filled with inspiration and light. I got the confirmation I had been looking for: yes, this blog is the right thing. Some days it's the answer, some days it's the remedy, some days it's the salvation. No matter what form it takes, its the right thing for me. It's exactly what I should be doing. The time spent on my laptop, on Instagram, time spent writing into the wee hours of the night, they are not hours wasted. They are hours spent, getting me to the next step, they allow me to follow my dream. The time spent allows me to grow into this person, that for the first time in my life, I really, really like. I even enjoy her.
And the Hubbs enjoys her too. He got to see me, surrounded by this world I love and that he doesn't really understand. He received hugs from Nay and Kristine, which surprised him, but didn't surprise me. They feel like they know him, and they kind of do, virtually. I was told one more than one occasion that he was going to be greeted with a middle finger, since that is what he is known for in my Instagram photos. His reputation precedes him. My girls, the "absolute girlies" were met with open arms. Which to me seemed like poetry in motion. They are what built this blog, and they continue to fuel it. But for the first time in a long time they saw their mommy in her old life, her happy life. Yes, Elevate did that. It made me realize that I want to be happy again. I want to write again. I want to breathe new life into this blog again.
As we drove back to our hotel, I was giddy with excitement. I wanted to share anything and everything with my family. It was such a good day and I couldn't hold back. Then from the back seat Caitlin asked, "Mommy did they have wine there?", "No why?" I asked, "Because you act like you've had a lot of wine". I laughed for ten minutes. Especially after John replied, "Mommy's not drunk, she's just happy". If that wasn't a bittersweet, slap in the face, get your life together moment, I don't know what is.
So many good things came out of our family weekend at Elevate. It wasn't the quick trip to Downtown Disney, although that was good. It wasn't the change of scenery. It was the fact that my family got to see a little bit of the blogging world from my eyes. The Hubbs better understands the relationships and the work required to maintain a blog. He even confessed to following along on Twitter all day since he still doesn't have an Instagram (I know, right?). He said he could see just how much fun I was having, but also the opportunity that is there for me and my blog. Which is a break through for us on so many levels I can't even begin to explain.
As you can see and read, Elevate was so much more than a conference this year. I needed inspiration and confirmation so badly. I was in desperate need of some direction. I also needed to redefine what my happiness looked like. I've been home for over a week and I'm very much back into reality. But there are some definite changes I want to make. There are things I want to put into motion. And there are goals I have set with specific time lines. I never set time lines or deadlines for that matter.
Elevate was a unique experience for me, which is the way it should be. No two blogger are alike, so no two experiences will be alike. But I'm sure that I'm not the only one who left with a new resolve. I'm sure I'm not the only one who continued to float on an Elevate high for a couple of days. And I know without a doubt that not a single one of us is unchanged after that beautiful Saturday in the dunes.
I've heard many stories about other blogging conferences. The classes and the sessions and the celebrities in participation. And I'd love to attend another conference where bloggers meet up and inspire. But I'm totally biased when it comes to Elevate. It's so personal and intimate, and it's so much more than a blogging conference. For me, Elevate 2014 was a revival.

Pritchard is the work of British designer Martin Wait, a capital, condensed sans serif font inspired by the geometric styles of the 1920s Soviet Constructivist movement. Despite unusual letterforms, Pritchard remains legible and effective in large display sizes. Two fonts make up the Pritchard family: Pritchard Regular and Pritchard Line Out. Pritchard Regular is a caps-only font, but Pritchard Line -- a bold, open font suitable for a wide variety of headline applications -- does include lowercase letters. A similar font in the Linotype Library is Linotype Reducta. Unlike Pritchard Regular, Linotype Reducta's character set contains lowercase letters.License

Today I read a beautiful story called 'A little cloud' by James Joyce. It is one of the stories in his 'Dubliners'. I hope to write about the collection itself some other time, but this story touched me so much that I just am not able to keep myself from writing about it.
'A little cloud' is about a timid man named Chandler, working as a clerk at an office. The little cloud is brought on by an old acquaintance, Gallaher. Gallaher was a no-good youth who has made worldly fortune by working in the press. When C. meets G., he(C.) wonders why he did not go away elsewhere, and become a writer like (or better than) G., he being a man of better birth and education. He blames his timidity for his failures in life. He goes home, and regrets marrying his wife. He resents his son, a small baby, for not allowing him to read, and yells at him when he cries. And then he feels sorry for everything. The cloud passes.
The story itself is very simple, but touches one profoundly. I am sure many people go through the emotions C. did. I have, at least, and know some people who did, too. Jealousy is a very, very basic human instinct. So is exhibitionism. If you are expected to turn out bad, but you don't, you will want show people that they were wrong. That is a rule. And if you meet someone who turned out better than you, you'll want to be in his/her shoes. That's a rule too. It is like shopping for a saree. One can almost always gets a good pick if (s)he looks at what others are buying. (aside: I do not know if men experience the same thing... do they?)
Why is human nature like this? We always find the *necessity* to be better than our peers, to own bigger houses and faster cars and try to make our kids do better than theirs. Is it good? Is it bad? I do not know.. It is just a fact of life, and we have to live with it.

So, it is a little more than one week that I came back from holidays and things are almost back to normal.
Mexico :
What to say : a beautiful country, with very nice people (even for tourists like me who only speaks 10 words of spanish) and excellent cooking. My 15 days tour (from Mexico to Playa del Carmen) was great but unfortunately, I didn't find the magic receipe to become a genius hacker like Federico or Miguel. All my photos are available as always on my Flickr account (I haven't commented photos yet, I hope I'll be able to do it in the following weeks).
Shuttle :
About 6 weeks ago, I gave my gateway system (Shuttle Zen, very system) for repair because fan was stopping after some time and this issue was known as one of the various defect of this specific Shuttle model, where motherboard power for fan dies after about 13 months of use. Fortunately, mine was only 8 months old, I gave it back and put back an old Pentium MMX 233 as gateway. Last saturday, I was able to get back my Shuttle. And guess what : they didn't repair it properly ! When I gave it for repair, I specified it was a problem on the motherboard but the guy wrote "fan problem" and Shuttle replaced fan and box (serial number is different) but NOT the motherboard and after only several hours of use, the problem is back. I waited 6 weeks for that and now, I'll need to return it and wait for another 6 weeks before getting a working system. In the mean time, I'm using another fan plug on motherboard but it isn't calibrated correctly in the BIOS and it is running much too fast, causing much more noise as expected. My advice : don't buy Shuttle Zen (ST62K), they are known to be defective..
Coverity :
I already talked about it but today, I checked back Coverity reports on GNOME and those guys added all jhbuild dependencies for building GNOME into their tool (and sometime too much, so we end up with defects from Mozilla in our own count :( ). Anyway, I spent part of today checking fontconfig defects (since 2.3.95 is expected next week to prepare 2.4.0 soon) : there are 38 defects, I only checked 12 defects for now, got 2 false positives, 2 missing checks for null pointers and 8 memory leaks (most in corner cases but some in non error cases). Patrick already merged all my fixes and I hope to get all defects reviewed by the end of the week (and probably before that). And the most funny (or strange) part of that is I enjoyed doing those code reviews ;)
Jhbuild / Ekiga :
Since I decided to please Luis before he asked, I hacked jhbuild support for pwlib and opal last month but I didn't find time to get it merged upstream. So, patch is available here. Enjoy.
Today, I started integrating GNOME 2.14 into Mandriva Cooker, using Götz Waschk excellent packages as basis. Everything should be complete before next week (I hope).

Back to work
So, it is a little more than one week that I came back from holidays and things are almost back to normal.

In a new escalation of the controversy over Los Angeles Fire Department response times, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's top lawyer accused the city attorney's office Thursday of improperly advising fire officials to keep some performance data secret.
Brian Currey, the mayor's chief counsel, accused City Atty. Carmen Trutanich's office of blocking the release of detailed data showing how quickly firefighters arrive at emergencies. Among other things, Currey complained that the city's lawyers warned fire officials that they could face criminal charges for disclosing information that has been routinely distributed in the past, including the locations of emergencies.
In a letter to William Carter, Trutanich's chief deputy, Currey said the city attorney's advice put the Fire Department in an "untenable position" and made the public hostage to uncertainty about the reliability of emergency services. In an unusual step, he encouraged outside parties — including the Los Angeles Times — to sue to gain access to information being denied by the department.
Carter dismissed the legal analysis offered by the mayor's staff as an amateurish effort.
"That's why the city attorney is the lawyer for the mayor, so we don't have staffers trying to interpret the law," Carter said. He said the letter "is factually and legally inaccurate and misleading" and cites references to a federal law that was updated two years ago. Carter declined to say what advice Trutanich's office has given the Fire Department, citing attorney-client confidentiality.

What a difference three years makes. Back in December 2009, the iPhone was just two years old, Android handhelds were only just picking up steam with people, and Blackberry was still a smartphone world power. No one had ever heard of a Finnish company called Rovio. Now Rovio's a household name, or at least it's first game Angry Birds is. With seven games including spin-offs and more than 1 billion downloads across various platforms, Angry Birds turned three-years-old on Tuesday as the poster-child for the mobile technology boom. Rovio is marking the occasion with some slick updates.
Rovio announced Tuesday morning that it was releasing Angry Birds version 3.0.0 adding a hefty 30 new levels to the original game as well as the Pink Bird character Stella. Stella was originally only available in the spin-off Angry Birds Seasons. There are 15 new birthday-themed levels—titled "Birdday Party"—in addition to 15 levels based on this year's spinoff game Bad Piggies.
Rovio has expanded at an incredible rate over these three years, moving into merchandising and even small theme parks thanks to the popularity of Angry Birds. Cheers to the studio on its success.

Through the inspiration of our precious guru, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, a full human-size statue of the fierce and wrathful meditation deity Dorje Khadro (Vajra Daka) has been carved out of white volcanic rock.
Appropriately, this volcanic rock erupted violently from the Rotorua crater around 200,000 years ago, and even changed the course of New Zealand's main waterway, the Waikato River. The Dorje Khadro statue has been placed in a unique hexagonal retreat hut at the Mahamudra Centre.
It is now available for those who wish to perform the powerful Dorje Khadro practice for purifying negative karma. This purification practice is often included in the nine preliminary practices of the Gelugpa lineage. The Dorje Khadro statue has been hollowed out sufficiently so that black sesame seeds, representing our negativity and visualized in the form of scorpions, can be fed into the gaping mouth of Dorje Khadro.
The sesame seeds are then joyously devoured by the wrathful deity and are totally burned in glowing charcoal in the base directly under Dorje Khardo, as we visualize all physical, emotional, inner and outer blocks to our spiritual progress being annihilated.

Blessings can be as simple as a text message from a friend, a smile, a shared tear, they can be big or small, but there are completely recognizable, at least they are when we pay attention. I would be remiss in acknowledging my blessings, if I did not also acknowledge the hand of my Heavenly Father in my life.
With as hard a life as I have been "blessed" with, it is easy to overlook the blessings when I am not focused on them. It is always a little bit easier to find the negative, rather than the positive in life. We are surrounded by negativity. It is in everything we watch and listen to. On the other hand, we have to really try and remain positive through it all.
When I only look at the negative, I find myself being caught up in the mess of depression. I judge myself more harshly, I fail easier, I find all the faults instead of the promises. When I focus on the positive, I find myself surrounded by that also. I find the beauty in the moment, I find the gift of friendship, I discover how uplifting it is to smile.
When I focus on the positive, I realize that I love life, in all its messy bits and pieces. I love the hope and the prospects of the future. I love seeing the divinity in the eyes of His children. I find myself drawing ever nearer to Him.
