Our Classic Roast Turkey
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Rinse turkey neck and body cavities; pat dry with paper towels. If desired, sprinkle body cavity with salt and pepper. If desired, spoon stuffing loosely into neck and body cavities. Skewer turkey neck skin to back of turkey.
- Tuck ends of drumsticks under band of skin across the tail or into wire or nylon leg clamp. If there is no skin or clamp, tie drumsticks to the tail with clean 100-percent-cotton kitchen string. Twist wing tips under the back of turkey.
- Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. If desired, insert an ovenproof meat thermometer into the center of an inside thigh muscle. Thermometer should not touch bone. Cover turkey loosely with foil.
- Roast turkey for 2-1/4 hours. Remove foil; cut band of skin or kitchen string between drumsticks so thighs cook evenly. Continue roasting for 30 to 45 minutes more (60 to 75 minutes, if turkey is stuffed) or until the meat thermometer registers 180 degrees F and the center of the stuffing (if using) is 165 degrees F. (The juices should run clear and drumsticks should move easily in their sockets.)
- Remove turkey from oven. Cover loosely with foil; let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Transfer turkey to a cutting board. Carve turkey. Serve with Turkey Pan Gravy.
From the Test Kitchen
Gremolata Turkey with Orange Glaze:
For gremolata, in a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, and a dash each of salt and ground black pepper. Prepare turkey as directed up to placing it in the roasting pan and stopping before brushing the skin with oil. Starting at the tail end of the turkey, loosen the skin on both breasts by sliding your fingers under the skin, being careful not to tear it. Slide your hand as far as you can toward the other end of the turkey, separating the skin from the meat. Rub the gremolata under the skin and over the entire breast. Brush the entire turkey with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast as directed. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons orange juice concentrate, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 teaspoons chopped finely chopped fresh parsley. Baste the turkey several times during the last 15 minutes of roasting with the orange juice concentrate mixture.
Buttery Herb-Rubbed Roast Turkey:
For herb-butter, in a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup softened butter; 3 tablespoons snipped fresh thyme, basil, oregano, and/or chives; and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Prepare turkey as directed, up to placing it in the roasting pan and stopping before brushing the skin with oil. Starting at the tail end of the turkey, loosen the skin on both breasts by sliding your fingers under the skin, being careful not to tear it. Slide your hand as far as you can toward the other end of the turkey, separating the skin from the meat. Rub about two-thirds of the herb-butter seasoning under the skin over the breasts. Rub the remaining herb-butter mixture over the entire turkey. If desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast as directed.

The Burning Sultans
Azure Sultanate
The Azure Sultanate is a non-state nation of elves in Jir'Azad. Though they do control a number of settlements, these are technically protectorates of the respective states in which they are located. The Sultanate is best known as the only group of mortals that possess the magical means to purify water in the desert, allowing them to wield a tremendous amount of political power. For the most part, they are content to simply sell water to the other states, and the water trade comprises the central pillar of the Sultanate's economy. They distribute this water through a vast network of caravans throughout Jir'Azad. Most citizens of the Azure Sultanate participate in these caravans in some form or another, and it is estimated that at any given time, a quarter of the Sultanate's populace is traveling.

Islands may be closed to publicBy Steve Estes
Almost any weekend when the weather is warm and the seas temperate, one can find anywhere from a few to hundreds of boats parked at shallow-water islands up and down the Keys.
Boaters, one to 10 at a time, motor up to the shallow-water islands, pitch the anchor over the side and spend a day, or an afternoon, or a few hours, basking in the sun, sampling the temperate waters, reminiscing with old friends, meeting new friends, munching on snacks and sandwiches, downing water, sodas, and more than a few beers.
Impromptu volleyball games break out on a whim. Pet canines float by on inflatable rafts. Gas-fired grills send the smell of cooking meats into the air.
As the sun begins to set, boats fire up and motor off to various canals, waterfront homes or boat ramps.
In the local area, the favorite spot for such on-the-water parties is a place dubbed by the locals as Picnic Island. The name sticks because the atmosphere is reminiscent of a large family reunion picnic, and because the water is shallow enough to plant grills in the sand and have a picnic if one desires.
The small island is located just south of Ramrod Key, about a mile off US 1, and north of the marina at Little Palm Island. Water depth is about four feet at high tide within 100 yards of the island, much less to non-existent closer in.
At least once each year, local businesses sponsor a live music concert on the water that has been dubbed Wetstock. It may be the only event like it in the country. Hundreds of boats, thousands of revelers and a host of volunteers gather around a barge moored in the sand and while away the afternoon listening to live music, and partying.
Picnic Island isn't the only spot of its type in the Keys. There are other near-shore islands where smaller gatherings take place, and some, like the Sandbar in Islamorada, that draw hundreds every weekend.
Each of those party spots, however, are surrounded by waters controlled in some fashion by the National Marine Sanctuary. And recently the Sanctuary officials have begun to wonder if public use of those near-shore islands is doing irreparable harm to the ocean communities in the area.
Last month, Sanctuary officials announced plans to conduct a study on the damages done to seagrass and other shallow-water aquatic communities to determine the amount of human impact on those communities at party islands.
The purpose of the study, say officials, is to determine if some of those popular party spots should be closed to public use to protect the aquatic communities beneath the surface.
The Sanctuary will undertake the study in conjunction with the state Department of Environmental Protection and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, both of whom have jurisdiction over the above-water resources.
For the local area in the Lower Keys, however, the study's outcome has little likelihood to affect island party spots, particularly Picnic Island, says National Key Deer Refuge Manager Anne Morkill.
The Florida Keys National Wildlife Refuge complex includes the Key Deer Refuge and the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, both of which encompass thousands of acres of both land-based and water-based resources.
"We are on board with limiting public use of near-shore islands when circumstances warrant," said Morkill. "But I don't believe this study will have a huge impact on islands under our purview."
First, said Morkill, most of the islands managed by the refuge are mangrove islands with little to no sand bottom, making them not the hottest of commodities for water-borne parties.
Those that could be included in any future management effort are mostly sand bottoms where there are no aquatic communities.
"The Sanctuary study will dovetail with our own reviews for the implementation of our backcountry management plan," said Morkill.
The refuge doesn't own all of the small islands dotting the back country, or those scattered throughout the shallow-water areas of the Atlantic to the south. Those it doesn't own won't be affected by any of its regulatory actions.
"I'm not sure if we own Picnic Island, but we'll know when the first round of public scoping meetings begin," said Morkill. "And because the bottom is sand, I doubt seriously that we or DEP or the Sanctuary will find that human impact levels are unacceptable."
She said she believes the Sanctuary is already aware of the areas where human impact might need to be curtailed in some fashion.
She said plans are now to begin public input meetings in early Spring next year so the agencies can gather thoughts from the local population.
"It's been 20 years since the refuge last completed a back country management plan, so we are in need of an update. What I think we'll find is that we have several areas where we can reduce or remove restrictions on public use of near-shore islands," she said.
She said there might also be cases where islands can be shifted from year-round closures to seasonal closures, "mostly due to nesting issues. If the island isn't used for nesting year-round, we don't need use restrictions year-round."
Morkill says she's heard the rumors around town that her agency, DEP and the Sanctuary are going to close as many islands to the public as possible.
She doesn't believe that to be the case.
"I can't imagine this will be a big land grab by any agency in the Lower Keys," said Morkill.

Annie Morkill ??? more like Buzzkill , 20 + years on BPK, the regs are killin us ! LOOK! LOOK ! a bunch of folk smilin n having a good time, got to put a stop to that ! I remember the old Keys,the only rules, don't hurt nobody . It seemed to work . I came here cause it's closer than the Abacos , now our "government" is out to suppress the very thing we came here for FREEDOM ! not to screw up the invironment but to have a good time.
Keep votin for these liberal dudes cause they know whats good for ya , and give up what made the Keys made famous . God bless and keep hope alive!

Hello everyone!
I'm officially back!
Sorry for the lack of new posts of the blog, I have to admit I haven't been writing anything at all because I really needed to take some time off from any kind of work. The last project in uni, the one with Tommy Hilfiger Denim, has been pretty intense and tiring, so decided to take some time for myself and refuel after all the hard work. In the next few days I will write a post about this exhausting yet amazing opportunity to collaborate with such a great brand and show you guys the resulting collection my group and I came up with.
I have been travelling around quite a lot this summer so I really wanted to share some new experiences and amazing photographs with you guys.
Since finishing uni last May, I went back to Italy to see my Italian friends and family and then I flew all the way to China to visit the other half of my family. It's been a pretty good summer and I've been collecting some really good memories, plus I've been taking lot of photos so that I can have material for my Final Year Collection!
So far yet so close, my 3rd Year Collection will start coming to life this year, so I need as much visuals and inspiration as possible. This summer's been great in that sense, cause I've been travelling a lot and that allowed me to widen my horizons and draw inspirational imagery and ideas from many different sources on two different sides of the world. What could a designer possibly want more than the possibility to travel and explore?
One of the most satisfying things was exploring Shanghai in more depth; I've been to this A M A Z I N G city many may times, but never really 'explored' it in the non-tourist kind of way; this year I decided I really wanted to get lost in its alleys, and visit some less known places and areas I had never been to, allowing myself to be a real 'Shanghainese' in a way.
One of the most surprising and interesting places I went to was a place that sold lots of antiques, not really definable as an antique market, but more like a massive warehouse with lots of antiques, varying from memorabilia, decorative objects, bags, clothes to furniture and vintage electronic devices.
Traditional Chinese shoes, with wooden platform and silk upper shoe.
So this was one of the nicest discoveries I've made in Shanghai this summer. I have traveled a lot though, so I will be posting new material in the next few days.
What about you guys, how was your summer? Did you do anything exciting and/or find time to explore some new interesting places?
Let me know in the comment section below,
x, Val.

It's been a year...
It's been nearly two years since I've written anything on this bit of space. It has been sort of a challenge because life has been keeping me quite busy. I was never 100% sure about sharing every aspect of my life online and I do tend to write only what I want you to know. Sure that won't get me any page hits and I won't have any super juicy stories but I know it's for good reason. I don't want to speak badly of others I just really want to be true to how I feel about the goings-on of my life.
I guess we should start with the biggest thing that has happened to my family recently. My Father passed away. He was told he had a very aggressive form of cancer in his bladder and it quickly spread into his kidneys and lungs. He was a fighter and I'm so proud of him for never losing faith in defeating the cancer but it just took its toll on his body. For a long time I felt guilty that I wasn't there for him in every way I probably could have. I did have two children at this point and was asked to look after him while we were living in my parents home. I felt a little overwhelmed and maybe I might have checked out a bit.
I still think about the last moments I had with my father before he was gone. They sent him home from the hospital for the last time, he seemed panicked and scared. I went to check in on him and I told him to rest. He kept asking for my mom but she was with the hospice nurse filling out paperwork. I remember telling my dad I could turn out the lights so he can relax. He couldn't relax, he asked me to turn the lights back on. So I did. That was the last conversation I had with my dad. I never got the chance to tell him I loved him. I had fallen asleep that night and when I awoke the nurse told me that my dad would most likely not wake from his sleep again. I've been holding on to this for over a year now and it's affected me in so many ways. I've been in a sort of depression where I'm not being the best person I can be for my kids and my family. I've sort of let this guilt and sadness take over my whole year.
This April would have been my dad's 81st birthday. So on the day of his birthday I closed my eyes and spoke to him. I told him I was sorry for not being there more in the end and for not having a real conversation with him about what an amazing father he had been. I told him I missed him terribly but I had to let go. I had to let that guilt go so that I could continue living for my kids, for my family. I will never forget him.

Comments Off on Earth, air and fire inspire deep green interior of Ecuador's twisted tower
Design firm Arquitectónica transformed an 18-story tower in Quito, Ecuador into a slender urban sculpture that twists upwards to meet the sky. The building's animated exterior is matched by a deep green interior designed by Marcel Wanders , and belongs to a larger scheme comprising four major developments conceived in collaboration between leading experts in real estate development, industrial design and architecture. The architects achieved the twisting shape of the tower by displacing the floor plates, generating the impression of movement. Nestled between two orthogonal buildings, the Oh Residences introduce an element of playfulness and surprise to the neighborhood. Related: Marcel Wanders Unveils Plant-Sprouting Swing for Droog The interior design, inspired by Ecuadorian flora and fauna , offers diverse spaces that reference three classical elements–earth, air and fire. The areas referencing earth use authentic natural materials , while sensations of serenity, softness and tranquility dominate the spaces where air is the main motif. Contrasts that combine crafts, patterns and colors mark the spaces with fire as the thematic guide. + YOO + Marcel Wanders + Arquitectónica + Uribe & Schwarzkopf

New silicon nanoparticles could finally make solar windows commercially viable
Comments Off on New silicon nanoparticles could finally make solar windows commercially viable
The trend toward integrating solar into homes and buildings seems to be taking off. First Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled his rooftop solar shingles that are invisible when viewed from the street. Now, researchers at the University of Minnesota and University of Milano-Bicocca have developed technology that could usher in a future with photovoltaic windows harvesting renewable energy from the sun. The research, published Tuesday in the journal Nature Photonics, demonstrates that high-tech silicon nanoparticles embedded into luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) can make the performance of solar windows more efficient, comparable to flat solar concentrators. "In our lab, we 'trick' nature by shirking the dimension of silicon crystals to a few nanometers, that is about one ten-thousandths of the diameter of human hair," said University of Minnesota mechanical engineering professor Uwe Kortshagen, one of the senior authors of the study. "At this size, silicon's properties change and it becomes an efficient light emitter, with the important property not to re-absorb its own luminescence. This is the key feature that makes silicon nanoparticles ideally suited for LSC applications." Related: Revolutionary new solar windows could generate 50 times more power than conventional photovoltaics Photovoltaic windows could be a game changer in the race to power cities with renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change. Modern glass office towers could be retrofited with photovoltaic windows that wouldn't change the aesthetics of the building and yet would be able to meet the structure's electricity needs. According to the US Department of Energy, turning the windows at One World Trade Center into solar collectors could power more than 350 apartments. The researchers say that silicon nanoparticles could make solar windows commercially viable for the building-integrated photovoltaic market. The silicon nanoparticles, which are produced using a plasma reactor and formed into a powder, could realize flexible LSCs that efficiently capture more than five percent of the sun's energy. One day soon the sun shining on skyscrapers in cities around the world could also be the source of their energy. + Highly efficient luminescent solar concentrators based on earth-abundant indirect-bandgap silicon quantum dots Via Phys.org Images via University of Minnesota

The room is decked out like a ballroom, with red, pink and white balloons, ready for the prom taking place the day after. Dressed in gowns and tuxedos, teenagers look forward to this annual event capping the end of the school year.
"We try to recreate one of the most anticipated events in their lives through this prom," said Vickie Murphy, chief advancement officer at Casa Pacifica, centers for abused and neglected children and teens, based in Camarillo.
Held at Casa Pacifica's gym, countless volunteers work tirelessly to decorate and jazz up the venue. Steve Nix, dubbed "the balloon man" for his expertise in creating balloon sculptures, said he never tires of doing this year after year. "It's just a hobby for me – making these balloon sculptures, but knowing it can make some of these kids happy, gives me immense satisfaction," said the four-year volunteer who works at Amgen.
The teens can also expect a sit-down dinner and entertainment led by a DJ. "I think we are more excited than them sometimes," said Oksana Zussman, a five-year volunteer and co-chair of children's events at the facility. "I can just picture the teens beaming and those smiling faces … there's so much love and warmth going around here."
And there is no short supply of love and warmth at the home, which served 4,500 children, teens and their families across all programs during the 2013-2014 period. A 45-bed emergency shelter for children 0 to 18 years old sits on their 24-acre campus off of Flynn Road.
There is round-the-clock staff to attend to emotionally, physically and mentally abused children and teens who are brought in from all over Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. There is a residential treatment program for older children and teens, as well as a non-public school on campus.
"The prom, along with everything else we do, is just an attempt to restore some sense of normalcy into their lives," said volunteer Steve Johnson, a retired engineer from Amgen. "The best part for me is being able to solve some problems with immediate, discernible impact; that I think is a good use of my engineering skills."
Johnson has been volunteering at Casa Pacifica along with his wife Carol for the past 13 years. "We were pulled in along with this big group from Amgen," said Carol.
Heading the children's events committee is Susan Burgos, one of Casa Pacifica's longest-serving volunteers at 23 years and counting. "I just love coming here; everyone is so giving and caring," she said.
The caring nature at Casa Pacifica also comes from the four-legged variety. For the past several years, Archie, a celebrity therapy dog, has been synonymous with the non-profit group. A Newfoundland purebred who started coming to the centers since he was a puppy 10 years ago, Archie is now enjoying retirement in Murphy's home. He even has his own website where you can purchase items that support the kids.
Archie has a distant relative by the name of Otis, a 15-month-old Newfie, who does pretty much what Archie used to do–help provide therapy to the facility's troubled clientele. "He sits in a room with one of the therapists, providing solace to the kids," said Murphy. "He has a very soothing presence, all 185 lbs. of him. His presence just calms them down."
Keeping the volunteers perennially busy is another much-anticipated event, Casa Pacifica's biggest fundraiser, the 22nd annual Casa Pacifica Wine, Food and Brew Festival on Sunday, June 7, from 1-5 p.m.
Over 85 exhibitors are expected to grace the annual event held at Cal State University Channel Islands, including some distinguished chefs and top local breweries.
"We're in the middle of a $21 million capital campaign and so far, we've raised $14 million," said Murphy. "We are building out our campus and hoping to build two more cottages and replace some temporary structures."
"Our needs are changing," Murphy said. "We are serving more children and teens so we're ready to adapt and grow."

With the changing season, the need to update our wardrobe also arrives. The new season gives us another excuse for shopping! Because it is the time to embrace the latest trends and welcome them in our wardrobe. So with paying all our attention to the apparels, we need to spend considerable amount on other things of our wardrobe too like the accessories, handbags and footwear. Without them our look cannot really be complete. Choosing the perfect additions according to the season is a must. So now it's the perfect time to do all your new season shopping and give your closet a makeover! Talking particularly about the handbags, some of the styles are for forever while some last only a season. But some of them are worth spending our money on because they look so trendy and so stylish. Finding a combination of both of these qualities is not easy. A handbag which is forever classic as well as trendy in each season would be something every girl wants and dreams of. But with Michael Kors, it is not that difficult to find one. The entire collection is full of such options which are totally not to miss. They will last with you for a good amount of time.
The American fashion label is known for providing accessible luxury products to the younger generation who wants luxury that does not pinch their pockets. The prices of the products are within the accessible range which is also one of the reasons for its immense popularity. If you have a look at the range, you will realize what I am talking about. So many stylish options that it is hard not buy each one of them. The categories of handbags available by this label are; backpacks, bucket bags, clutches, cross body, evening bags, hobos, messengers, satchels, shoulder, totes, wallet and wristlets. Available for both men and women, the enticing range combines contemporary designs with classic features to make them a worthy addition in anyone's wardrobe. Your look will become so much more noticeable and attractive with these little beauties. All of these categories differ in their storing capacities and need to be chosen according to the event you are headed to. If you require a lot of stuff to carry then go for totes and if there's barely anything to carry expect cell phone and money, then clutches or cross bodies will be the perfect choice.
Be it any event, you can trust on this brand to give you a show stopping look! It is one of the most popular brands among women of all ages because the products are made keeping in mind the ongoing trends but the class is never compromised with. I personally own about 4 bags by this label. They are crafted in such high quality that with proper care they can last for a very long time even after daily use. I have been using them from so many years and they are still the same! The array of colors used in the collection provides you tons of options right from summery colors to the elegant and subtle ones. Even the pastel colors used adorning embroideries look so pretty and dainty. If I summarize the range in two words, then enticing and chic would describe it the best. You can purchase Michael Kors handbags in India on Darveys.com for a great collection!

On November 18, 2015, a 4-1 majority of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (Justice Eakin, dissenting) held in Socko v. Mid-Atlantic Systems of CPA, Inc., No. 142 MAP 2014, that a post-employment covenant not to compete entered into by an employee after the start of his employment was void for lack of consideration, despite the fact that the agreement containing the non-competition covenant included language that the parties "intend to be legally bound." In so doing, the Court affirmed the Pennsylvania Superior Court's May 13, 2014 order which, in turn, had affirmed the trial court's grant of partial summary judgment to the plaintiff/employee. Socko v. Mid-Atlantic Systems of CPA, Inc., 99 A.3d 928 (Pa. Super. 2014).
The issue on appeal was whether the Uniform Written Obligations Act, 33 P.S. section 6 (the "UWOA"), which provides that a written promise "shall not be invalid or unenforceable for lack of consideration, if the writing also contains an additional express statement, in any form of language, that the signer intends to be legally bound," in effect trumped the longstanding requirement under Pennsylvania law that a post-employment restrictive covenant entered into after the start of employment must be supported by new and valuable consideration beyond just continuing employment. Applying the General Assembly's principles of statutory construction, specifically the principle cautioning that a statute should not be interpreted in such a way to lead to an absurd or unreasonable result, and the "unique treatment in the law" of covenants not to compete, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court concluded that "a construction of the UWOA which would vitiate the need for new and valuable consideration when entering into an agreement containing a restrictive covenant after the initiation of employment would be unreasonable."
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision in Socko makes clear that under Pennsylvania law the parties' "intent to be legally bound" is no substitute for new and valuable consideration required to support a post-employment restrictive covenant entered into after the start of employment.

Russell Wilson has known what it is like to have people not believe in him. As an NFL quarterback who is less than six feet tall, he did not have a lot of support in a game and a position where size does matter. This explains why he was drafted in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, even with first round talent. He was not going to be handed a franchise by the NFL, so Wilson worked towards success and role as leader of the 2014 Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks. Yet, on a recent flight to Seattle, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson felt the need to protect and serve a soldier on his way home.
United States Army serviceman Kane Bernas was heading home to Seattle, and to a seat in coach when first-class passenger Wilson spotted him. He made sure Bernas was upgraded to a first-class seat, just as a 'Thank You' for his service to his country. This act of kindness, respect, and generosity elicited a tweet from Bernas that went viral.
This brought about a response in kind from Wilson, explaining his sentiment and appreciation for Bernas. This is what he wrote on Twitter about his choice to protect and serve a U.S. soldier.
Wilson has had a difficult start to 2015 so far, taking a large amount of negative publicity worldwide for his interception in Super Bowl 49 that cost the Seahawks the championship. It does not seem to have tarnished his character or respect for the men and women in military service. In an era where the bad that professional athletes do is given first-class seating on the evening news, it is refreshing to see the other side of sports celebrity get its day in the sun, if only for a little while.
Wilson has also made news in the world of baseball after his rights were acquired by the Texas Rangers organization in their Rule 5 draft. Baseball was his first love as an athlete, and he has spoken about the slim possibility of being a two-sport player, in the ilk of 80's stars like Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson.
"I've always had the dream of playing two sports," Wilson said. "If somehow it was a miracle that it could work out, I'd consider it. At the same time, my focus is winning the championship with the Seattle Seahawks, and I hope to be playing for a long time."
What many do not know is that Wilson has a history as a professional baseball player in the Colorado Rockies minor league system. He played 61 games in Class A Ashville in 2011, hitting .228 with a .366 on-base percentage, with 15 stolen bases. Safe to say that baseball is in his blood, and he spent time with the Texas Rangers in March, working out with the team. He performed drills with the middle infielders, carried the lineup card to home plate, and was on the bench during their 6-5 loss to the Cleveland Indians. Rangers manager Ron Washington was impressed with his work ethic and preparedness before the game.
Despair in January only led to hope that sprung eternal in March. Then a true reflection of his character in April. Life is never boring for Wilson. Russell Wilson found a way to protect and serve a soldier, and hopefully inspire and lead others to do the same.

The mission of the PGA TOUR is to expand domestically and internationally to substantially increase player financial benefits while maintaining its commitment to the integrity of the game. The PGA TOUR events are also committed to generating revenue for charitable causes in their communities.
We currently have over 200 volunteer positions available at this year's tournament in San Francisco. This is a great opportunity to volunteer and observe championship level golf.

The chosen one.........
Yesterday was dark and dreary in the morning as thunderstorms rolled through. In the afternoon it was partly sunny, partly stormy. This is the view from one of my kitchen windows. This view is to the left of the path to the bird feeders. If you click on it to enlarge it you will see things blooming. The tall plants in the center are orange Tiger Lilies which haven't bloomed yet. The Rudbeckia is all budded out but hasn't bloomed yet either.
Here is a closer view of the section I have been working on. I dug up the little Hosta that was between the Coreopsis and the Shasta Daisy and it is now planted to the right of the Daisy. You can just barely see tips of it. This shot taken from the kitchen window has a bush in the foreground. I planted a red Coneflower on the right. The last time I bought a red one it bloomed white the next year. I hope this one stays red.
This is the view to the right of the path to the bird feeders. The 15 peony bushes are in this section.

Your beds really look nice. I use to have lots of flowers and my husband didn't like the look. So they are to manicured for me, but I don't argue. More rain coming today again. Chris

I love those Australian fabrics in that quilt top. It is a real beauty! You yard looks wonderful and I love the pop of color with the Shasta Daisy and coneflower. I have a Pow-wow conflower I bought last year on the mark down rack and three that I bought this year. A Pow-wow coneflower is a mix of pink and white. The one from last year has more fuchsia colored flowers with the white and the new ones are more dark pink with white. Funny - they are all suppose to be the same. I am just happy they are alive! I need that area of my bed to fill in. I am tired of looking at dirt.

Wanda, love the quilt top, Aboriginal prints are SO intricate and appeal to me on many levels. Your gardens look great! You need to pop over here and work your magic. :) I'm thinking of getting some fill-ins going in our gardens south of our deck. Need to split some of the hostas. Had not heard of a coneflower (Rudbekia?) that was red...going to have to get a few of those. DH loves red...his zinnia bed is doing really well, how is yours doing? Never enough hours in the day....

NEW YORK, Jan 5 (Reuters) - The dollar trimmed gains against the yen and turned negative versus the euro on Friday after data showed the U.S. economy created fewer jobs than expected in December.
U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by just 148,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said on Friday. Economists were forecasting a jobs gain of 190,000. Employment data for October and November data were revised to show 9,000 fewer jobs created than previously reported.
The dollar cut gains against the yen to 113.11 yen from 113.28 before the jobs report, while the euro rose to $1.2069 from $1.2049 before the data's release.

This teen fantasy debut begins the Tipping Point Prophecy, a new series about awakened dragons and the end of humanity's dominion on Earth.
In Charlottesville, Virginia, 15-year-old Chloe McClellan is a passionate nature lover who enjoys time alone at her favorite pond watching animals and contemplating life. Tenth grade at Charlottesville High proves gloomy since she's not interested in flashy clothes or chasing boys. Life does get brighter when, during lunch, Chloe meets solemn new student Kirin Liou and proves herself an amazing runner in gym class. While Chloe is swimming at the pond one night, a freak lightning storm arrives, followed by an upheaval from beneath the water. A massive creature rises, and its chilling blue gaze pierces Chloe. After lightning strikes her, she wakes in the hospital, having been dropped off by a mysterious stranger. Unbelievably, the news of her accident boosts her popularity at school, and she's befriended by Ezra (the handsome superjock) and Stan (the stoner). Driving home from a party, Stan and Chloe are assaulted by another storm and careen off a cliff—until something with wings and claws saves them. As Chloe's memories of her recent traumas sharpen, she decides to research dragons. Kirin's father, Dr. Edward Liou, helps by mentioning the Tipping Point Prophecy, which says that "when…the world begins its decline at the hands of human arrogance and neglect, the elemental powers of the earth will rise." Debut author Sharp masterfully blends fantasy, teen drama, and a strong message of environmentalism into a white-hot narrative. Chloe, as the sarcasm-fueled outsider, wins readers' hearts in nearly every scene; for the homecoming dance, she tries on a dress that makes her "look like a flower girl from an eighties-themed wedding." Romance blossoms wonderfully because, once together, Chloe and Kirin "felt more like the individuals they'd always wanted to be." Sharp also paints his fantasy elements (including the shady Daedalus Group, which researches alternative energy sources) in tantalizing brush strokes that gear up the audience for Volume 2.
Sharp's high school drama is just as searing as his fantasy action.

text: I have searched a bit and googled some questions I had but haven't really found what I was looking for. I believe I successfully rooted my phone just now but I don't know for sure. I did the whole safe mode update reboot thing and all seemingly went well. First question is how do I verify this??? I now have an Icon that says Superuser Permissions but I open it and its empty. Also I know you need a terminal program to really do much with a rooted phone but where do I get one? Are there additional settings that I should fix? Thanks in advance! P.S. I won't use the word NOOB everyone on here says that and its a little annoying so I dislike it!

My fascination with Cara!
I remember the first time I saw Cara, it ways a time when I didn't know her name I believe I referred to her as the blonde babe who closed the burberry show. She was wearing a velvet quilted coat in a dark maroon tone it closed a fabulous fall burberry collection and from that point I was slightly obsessed with this girl I even had her as my iphone background! You don't forget a face like Cara's, so my fascination began early on before she was on every catwalk and in every tabloid magazine. One year on from that first encounter Cara is now consuming my life, she walked in over 40 looks this season in just about every major show. In the beginning it was exciting seeing someone everywhere but by paris the novelty had worn of and really Edie Campbell was and is everything! But my fascination with Cara is still present, she is a total phenomenon plus she crossed over from the world of fashion into the world of celebrity for example if I said to my friend Eimear, "Do you know who Edie Campbell is?" she would say "Who?" If i asked her "Do you know Joan Smalls?" she would say "who?" even if I asked her "Do you know Karlie Kloss (Most super super model of the moment!) is?" she would say "who?". But if i asked her " do you know who Cara Delevinge is?"
She would say "Yes, I love her she is such a minx!"
Her introduction into the world of main stream celebrity began with a story that Harry went home with her from this night club so the name Cara was all over the place for a minute! Then of course her beastie is It girl and major singer Rita Ora so they have been photographed a lot together and mentioned in the press. Her celebrity may be big but its not as big as her major explosion onto the fashion scene, face of Chanel, Burberry and Dkny all in the last 6 months and omg she will be the face of everything next season, she's been on the cover of british vogue and as landed an elite position of being a american vogue editorial model which is major and a big deal, also she is on every catwalk from DKNY to Chanel! She's everywhere she's fun she's exciting and I really am very fascinated with her and will be for some time to come.

The numbers often look a bit grim when it comes to women in tech. But, here's an optimistic statistic to end your week: women are founding companies at an accelerated rate, and today there are now more than 9 million women-owned businesses throughout the U.S. In fact, women owned businesses are cropping up 1.5 times faster than other types of small businesses! And the impact cascades to all: these businesses are expected to create more than 5 million employment opportunities by 2018.
So, who are the latest women making waves in the entrepreneurship world? Of course, there's too many to count, but we've highlighted a few of our favorites. The best part about these entrepreneurs is that they're all leading ventures that have a direct, positive impact for women.
We'll be keeping an eye on these rock stars as 2018 rolls around.
Whitney Wolfe, founder and CEO, Bumble
Whitney Wolfe launched her dating app, Bumble, in an effort to make dating a heck of a lot less painful—and so much more equal. The app has gathered an astounding 18 million users, who have flocked to Wolfe's platform where women get make the first move. Wolfe has said, "The time was ripe for disrupting the status quo. And the idea that men have to make the first move spans way beyond dating."
Anna Auerbach, co-founder and co-CEO, Werk
Traditional work schedules are going by the wayside; these days, few people want to be stuck in an office from 9 to 5. This is the concept behind Werk, the platform Anna Auerbach and her co-founder believe is going to change the future of careers, and the notion of work-life balance, for women. The challenge: how do you keep intelligent, ambitious women in the workforce? Their solution: give them flexibility, and lots of it! Werk offers women a foot in the door at companies that are on-board with coveted flexibility.
Ida Tin, CEO, Clue
Women like to know what's going on with their bods, especially good 'ole Aunt Flow. Ida Tin is behind the period-tracking app, Clue, designed to track your period using science and a slew of data points. Investors initially shied away from investing—due to skepticism and flat out embarrassment at being involved in a chick period app. But the smart ones are coming out on top: Clue now has millions of users. (Turns out there's nothing niche about periods; it's big business!). Women count on Clue to track their period and help them conceive.
Kate Ryder, founder and CEO, Maven
There's few things more annoying than getting the runaround from a doctor. Or making an appointment to see a doctor in person—when you just have a few questions you want answered. Shouldn't it be easier? Kate Ryder, founder of Maven, thought so when she launched in 2014. Maven is a network of healthcare practitioners, and they're standing by to answer your most awkward questions.
Stella Mateo, founder, SheTaxis
Stella Mateo created SheTaxis, taxi and car services exclusively for women, driven by women. Its purpose is two-fold: to empower women by providing jobs, and to also create a safe environment for women. The company kicked off in New York and will be expanding in the near future.

Devizes man, 73, buys 200,000 volt stun gun online
A 73-year-old man has been interviewed by police after buying a 200,000 volt stun gun online.
The man told officers he thought the device was legal in the UK because he had bought it from a European website.
Wiltshire Police said while it was not against the law to purchase the items, it would be an offence to import them into the UK or to own them.
Police said it had not yet been decided what action would be taken against the man, who lives in the Devizes area.
Officers said the package, which also included pepper spray, had been discovered as it entered the country.
A force spokeswoman said the items could cause serious injury and even death if used in the wrong hands.
"The seized stun gun was four times more powerful than a police Taser - which uses 50,000 volts of electricity," she added.

Zesty, zingy, and healthy too this recipe combines the goodness of hemp seeds with the bright flavors of mint and lime. Hemp seeds are an excellent source of the "right" fatty acids, fiber, and all the essential amino acids for a "perfect protein" in a vegetarian diet. Try this tasty chutney as a healthful addition to any rice or roti based meal.
Yes, "bhang" means hemp or marijuana. No, you will not get "high" or even a buzz from this chutney as hemp seeds are not psychoactive. Bhang or hemp seeds are actually a fairly common pantry item here in the Himalayas. I bought these bhang seeds our local market for a few rupees an ounce. They are favored for their nutty flavor in chutneys and they do taste a lot like sunflower seeds and a bit like pine nuts. I can certainly see how they'd be great in a basil pesto. Nutritionally, hemp seeds are a great source of balanced omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, both soluble and insoluble fiber, and all the 20 amino acids necessary for good health. They are considered a "warming" food in the Ayurvedic and Unani sense so eating them in small amounts as in this chutney is recommended.
1/3 C hemp/bhang seeds
1 tsp garlic/lahsun paste
1 tsp ginger/adrakh paste
2-3 green chilis/hari mirch, roughly chopped (omit for less heat)
2 TBS oil of choice (I used rice bran oil)
1 TBS lime/nimbu luice
3 TBS chopped fresh mint/pudina or 1 TBS dried mint
2 TBS water
1 tsp chaat masala or dry roasted cumin/jeera seeds
salt to taste
Here's what to do:
1) Dry roast hemp/bhang seeds in a kadhai or deep skillet for about 3 minutes or until seeds begin to turn brown. Remove from heat and allow seeds to cool to room temperature.
2) When cooled grind dry roasted hemp seeds to powder using mortar and pestle, sil-batta, or electric coffee grinder. Mix ground hemp seeds with garlic paste, ginger paste, green chilis, oil of choice, lime juice, mint, water, and chaat masala until smooth in mixie or food processor. Salt to taste and keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
The hemp seeds you buy in western countries are usually steamed to make them non viable. Steamed hemp seeds go rancid fast. Buy hemp seeds at stores that keep the hemp seeds in the refrigerated or freezer section.

The rebirth of a performance bicycle component brand
When Advanced Sports bought the Oval Concepts bicycle component brand in 2008, the need to update the image and inject more visual appeal into the product was instantly addressed. As the sole designer on this project, my job was to communicate the fit and functional aspects of the components that, in turn, create a better faster rider. Oval Concepts is a brand with a complete line of aftermarket and OEM (original equipment manufacturer) components including wheelsets, handlebars, seatposts, saddles, brakesets, cranksets, headsets, hubs, all of which span the cycling disciplines of track, road, mountain, triathlon, and cyclocross racing.

what happened. Dr. Snyderman was the one who violated the Ebola quarantine rules. But you'd never know this from her notpology.
The whole thing is disgusting. Welcome to the U.S. media, where citizens are told only what the media and its corporate overlords want them to know.
The website Planet Princeton reported that Snyderman went to a restaurant to pick up a takeout order. Shortly after, the New Jersey Department of Health mandated the crew remain quarantined.
So Dr. Nancy Snyderman was the actual culprit who endangered the public. But when NBC offered her "apology", it never mentioned the fact that she was the one who violated the quarantine rules. Here's the written "apology" delivered last night:
Not a peep about the fact that, if the report from Planet Princeton is true -- and since NBC didn't hammer this report into the ground, I assume it was -- she was the perp. I guess it was more important to NBC to bolster dear Dr. Nancy's credibility than to reveal the truth. After all, how could they continue to use her to illustrate the Ebola story after everyone found out she's a craven loser who doesn't care about anyone but herself?"While under voluntary quarantine guidelines, which called for our team to avoid public contact for 21 days, members of our group violated those guidelines and understand that our quarantine is now mandatory until 21 days have passed. We remain healthy and our temperatures are normal."As a health professional I know that we have no symptoms and pose no risk to the public, but I am deeply sorry for the concerns this episode caused."
The whole thing is disgusting. Welcome to the U.S. media, where citizens are told only what the media and its corporate overlords want them to know.

Nelson Mandela embraced free markets, but thought that "with great wealth comes great responsibility," Sir Richard Branson reflected Friday, as the world remembered the anti-apartheid icon's struggles and triumphs, which serve as enduring symbols of freedom and equality.
Mandela died Thursday at age 95.
(Read more: Nelson Mandela: A man and a country)
Branson, the billionaire founder of the Virgin Group, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" he met Mandela shortly after the anti-apartheid leader was released from prison. Branson said he and Mandela worked together on a number of projects over the years, and that Mandela was always trying to get wealthy individuals to help the poor.

HI! If you've not heard of Makeup Revolution then WHERE'VE YOU BEEN?! Makeup Revolution are dominating social networks by storm. I honestly don't go a day without seeing a blog post about the brand and I think this is partly to do with their ever growing product range. There are new releases ALL the time which is fab for us gals but not so fab for our poor bank accounts.
Anyway, let me show you what I bought! I haven't included any swatches as I plan on reviewing most of the items sseparately over the next month or so.
I have a bit of a thing for bronzers especially matte ones. Partly because they make me look alive and partly because deep down I want to be a contouring Queen. I'm interested to see how this one fairs but I won't be too gutted if it's not great as it cost me a tiny £2. Something that scares me but intrigues me is the Ultra Aqua Brow Tint. I picked the shade 'fair' as I have blonde hair and even blonder, barely there eyebrows. It's a liquid which just...doesn't seem right?! I don't know but I'm excited by it and can't wait to give it a whirl! I also got a concealer. I don't normally wear concealer so I'm not sure why I bought it...bit awks really.
I can't stop buying nail polishes so I had to pop a few of the Nail Geek polishes into my basket as they're only £1.49. I didn't google any of these for swatches before ordering which I slightly wish I did. The mint green doesn't look as vibrant as I'd hoped but I'll still wear it anyway. That's what you get for not researching eh?!
I wrote a post on Lip Geek's Ken Will Want Me which you can read here if you fancy. I honestly love that lipstick so I knew I was going to order a few more but when I got on to the website, the whole range was (and still is) reduced to £1.99!!! (3 exclamations to show how happy I was). Soooo I picked up four more in shades from left to right; Love the Confidence, Colour Overdose, Cherry Bomb and Happy Girl.
In Summer I used to go mental with highlighter which I blame entirely on Serena from Gossip Girl. Who doesn't want glowing skin like hers, god! Lately the highlighting obsession has turned into an all year round kinda thing and I am constantly looking for new ones to add to my collection. This palette set me back £8 which is amaze for 3 highlighters. I'm particularly loving the look of the bronze-y highlighter. It better be good.
Obviously not content enough with my four lipsticks I purchased, I decided to throw some more into the mix. I've wanted to try the Super Wow high gloss lip colour stick for a while so I'm chuffed with that. The Liphug lipstick is new so I needed it 'for the blog' didn't I? Apparently these have incredible staying power, eeek! Finally, I had to have the ultra velour lip cream in the most gorgeous purple shade 'Not one for playing games' because it's just beautiful!
Hope you liked seeing/reading about my new bargain beauty buys! You can browse the Makeup Revolution products yourselves by heading over to their website. What's your all time favourite Makeup Revolution product?

Every day Poets & Writers Magazine scans the headlines—from publishing reports to academic announcements to literary dispatches—for all the news that creative writers need to know. Here are today's stories:
For those who have resolved to write more in the new year, the Guardian rounds up writing tips from ten writers [2], including Zadie Smith's advice to get off the Internet and Muriel Spark's suggestion to get a cat.
For more writing tips and inspiration, check out Writers Recommend [3], our weekly column in which writers share the books, art, habits, and processes that get them writing.
The Richard Avedon Foundation has called on publisher Spiegel & Grau to withdraw its book Avedon: Something Personal [4], asserting that the book is full of errors. Written by Norma Stevens, Avedon's longtime studio director and business manager, the book is part biography, part memoir, and part oral history (New York Times)
Rand Richards Cooper checks in with Walter Minton, the former president of G. P. Putnam's Sons [5], who published Nabokov's Lolita and Mailer's The Deer Park after no other publisher would. (New Yorker)
Rupi Kaur talks with PBS NewsHour [6] about her poetry, and being labeled the "Instagram Poet." "To be completely honest, I'm not OK with it. A lot of the readers are young women who are experiencing really real things, and they're not able to talk about it with maybe family or other friends…. And so, when you use that term, you invalidate this space they use to heal and feel closer to one another."
From Milo Yiannopoulos's canceled book deal to American libraries working together to fight Trump's proposed budget cuts, Publishers Weekly looks back on the year's biggest stories in the literary world [7].
"On the whole, 2017 was not a great year for the English language. Reality is running ahead of our vocabulary." Louis Menand considers the words of the year put forth by various dictionaries and argues a single word cannot encapsulate 2017 [8]. (New Yorker)
To read more about how Merriam-Webster determines the word of the year, read a Q&A with editor-at-large Peter Sokolowski [9] from the latest issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.
"We're writing into the void, and we're not writing to be bestsellers. Whatever individual responses we get, whether at a reading, by a conversation or a letter, mean the world." Poet Mary Jo Salter talks about the joys of being a poet [10] and her latest collection, The Surveyors. (Rumpus)

The Local Vernal Pool on the Walkway
So you actually look at the green shallow pool and you start to see things..
Lurking amidst the green stuff
They kind of blend in with the green seeds..
They are watching you watching them...
Little eyeballs beneath the surface of the rainwater pond
These are the ones I could see... but there is movement below the surface...
snakes and turtles and frogs and spiders and???
Wait... what is that hole under the tree?
It is big and furry!??? a little bear?
Things are coming out of that hole

Weathering the 2008 economic downturn necessitated a change in approach to cashflow at Global Integration, when demand for the company's management development, leadership training and consultancy services fell by 40%.
Global Integration helps business leaders develop skills in matrix management (working across competing reporting lines and objectives), virtual teams (people working at different geographic sites) and global working (dealing with different time zones and cultures). Founded in 1994, its 300 international clients who have taken part in the company's training programmes include major multinationals such as SAP, Vodafone and Coca-Cola.
"Money comes in through the delivery of services as well as selling surveys, videos and questionnaires online," explains chief executive, Kevan Hall. "Our biggest cost is labour, with 15 employees. We've got overheads in terms of running our website, office and marketing, but we're reasonably lean. Our non-negotiable costs are salaries."
Hall says when the global downturn hit, training budgets were one of the first things to be cut. "The recession was pretty scary, it was hard to see the bottom of that cliff."
Global Integration's response was to establish a profit and loss centre for each consultant, which made personal contribution transparent and visible, and focused everyone on controlling costs.
"Consultancy is a very measurable job and it's easy to allocate cost and revenue," Hall says. "For each consultant we made an individual spreadsheet which showed the amount we needed to cover personal costs to keep them in the game, the contribution they would need to make to central costs like finances and marketing, and where the company starts to make a profit and bonus earnings begin."
Hall says everyone in the business now has a clear and visible understanding of the cost base and their contribution to it, and there was complete engagement in the new way of working. "For me personally, I think I hung on to the old way too much. There was a relief and appreciation when I admitted this."
Global Integration took a more conservative approach to forecasting and replaced traditional budgets with investment plans. "I genuinely don't believe in budgets," says Hall. "If there is a budget, people tend to spend it. In a small business like ours I think formal budgeting is counterproductive."
The company's focus on keeping fixed costs down meant profits were not hit, and spending could be increased on marketing. It stopped relying on the bank overdraft that had previously been used to smooth over expensive years.
"We normally set ourselves a target of six months' forward visibility on cash, and we prioritise the list of things we'd like to do once cash becomes available", Hall says.
A market survey allowed the company to identify that it was underpricing for its unique matrix management training, and an increase in cost brought in more revenue.
Hall says the lower fixed cost base and higher top line pricing has significantly increased profitability, with turnover levels higher than before the downturn. "For a lot of companies the downturn created an opportunity – a tremendous amount of fat and inefficiency was trimmed. It wasn't pleasant to go through but a lot of businesses - including us – came out of it much better."

Rumors have been flying about a possible reboot to the original Teen Mom, but it turns out that cast drama has led the MTV execs to make some major decisions. They're going as far as to cut one mom from the show!
Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham, and Catelynn Lowell haven't always gotten along. But there's one lady who's been the main source of contention in the cast, and it looks like she's bidding farewell to the MTV show.
Turns out, MTV execs have "willingly cut Farrah," and it's all because all the other ladies refused to do the show if she was signed back on, according to a source from Us Weekly. "MTV agreed," the source continues. "They feel she set a bad example and doesn't represent the network well."
Now, why would that be? Is it the "leaked" sex tape? Or is it its sequel? Is it the collection of silicone sex toys made to resemble her own lady bits? Or her random appearance on Couples Therapy, which showed she wasn't really part of a "couple"? Come on, MTV. This record is stellar.
Seriously, though. The girl is definitely not a shining star on MTV's roster of cast members, so it's not surprising that they've decided to let her go. Especially if the rest of the ladies made it clear that they wouldn't join the reunion had she been included. And honestly, they'll have plenty of drama with those three ladies, but we'll definitely miss Farrah's Oscar-worthy cry face.
Will you watch the show without Farrah?

We live in a world of non-duality. Things that seem separate, though distinct, are actually connected, as one, with the universe. We're set to release the new album from OM, Advaitic Songs, this coming July. Advaitic Songs is distinct from, yet linked with, 2009's God Is Good - while it maintains the singularity of purpose that informs the core sound of OM, every element of Advaitic Songs reaches further than before - it's the band's most focused, expansive, and imaginative document to date! We could tell you more about its awesomeness, and we will - but what we have already said is all we're going to introduce into this time we call the present. At least, the present as you know it; Drag City being a canine with an astral sense of smell, our present includes the future and the past. Holding back on aspects of the future is a holy thing for the likes of us record-label people! Here's another, potentially more relevant truth for you masses: OM has just begun a huge European tour, and that's a present we can all agree upon as one of life's greatest gifts! Catch them in the following town centres now:

MK on why he eats out when his wife is not at home: "It's not that I don't know cooking, at least the basic stuff. Don't forget that I spent four years on my own as an engineering student in Bangalore. But when my wife goes out, I don't make the mistake of going anywhere near the kitchen. You see boss, if you cook once, they will expect you to do it even when they are at home!"

Sometimes it is very interesting for one to contemplate the design of the tattoo art. This is especially the case if you have watched family and friends choosing several designs and then actually imprinting these on their bodies. This is amazing as it offers a unique way for one to actually design his or her body. The art of tattooing started long ago. People generally refer to the tattoo as 'work', 'pieces', 'art', 'tats' and 'ink' among others. Those men and women who are tattooist would be called 'artists'.
The fact of the matter is that the tattoo artist is known for his or her own specialty. This includes the kind of work that they are very good in and also their own special way of applying the ink. Normally those who would want to become a tattoo artist would start as an apprentice under a very experienced artist. For those who are ready for their first one, you can always check out the varying designs that are available to choose from. Moreover you can choose the artist that you want especially one who is well vested in the particular art you are seeking.
The crucial thing to note about tattoos is the fact that there are very different types or reasons for varying applications. Also depending on your kind of cultural background and religion, this would depict an entirely new and fresh way of thinking applied to your body. You will come to discover that there are different kinds of designs and most of these are specially framed for men only. However there are designs for women to choose from with many varieties exclusive to them only. When you are searching for your preferred design, you should bear in mind the symbolism, meaning and placement of the tattoo which are all very crucial.
The tattoo is a special form of art that originated several thousands of years ago. There are stories that this emerged from the Egyptians as it was discovered on mummies all of which have many tattoos on them. Then when this empire started expanding, the tradition and art of tattoos started spreading further and further to other parts of the world. However these markings were just for the purposes of beautification. When it came to the Greeks, they were said to have been used for a genuine reason for the first time as spies were marked with secret codes and identification marks in a bid to make them stand out. However when the Romans started to use these tattoos, it was used to mark those who were in prison. In Rome and some other places, this is still being practiced.
Tattoos are also used in the Samoan Islands as part of the ancient tradition. This would depict the social standing of a person in the society. Under normal circumstances, it is the chief of the tribe who has the heaviest of all the tattooing. There is a real ceremony organized where the younger chiefs get their own tattoos as a way of depicting their puberty stage. In New Zealand, it is a very crucial part of their culture.
The fact of the matter is that this has entered into the modern western culture along with prisoners and sailors that were brought by Captain Cook to England. Since then the popularity of tattoos have been widespread and as such many people are rushing just to get these marks on their bodies.

Tribal Tattoos
Chinese Tattoos
Chinese tattoos became popular because of the unique Chinese characters that have various meanings. This kind of tattoo is represented with a maximum of two characters. However, education and research are required regarding the chosen character in order to avoid frustration. Chinese tattoos may have the coolest design but you should be certain of the translation. To prevent disappointment, seek intelligent advice from a Chinese translator. Tattoos are meant to fashionably express ones personality to other people. It is a means of communication so if it is done mistakenly, it will be interpreted erroneously. However, there are a lot of good artists that do this work perfectly, so choose one of these and wear your tattoos confidently.
Egyptian Tattoos
The Egyptian culture has fascinated the world from its rich mythology to its hieroglyphic writings. One of the legacies it gave to the world is the art of drawing pictures on the body, Egyptian tattoos. Egyptian tattoos started as mere dots and lines that are believed to be ritualistic in origin. However, the art has evolved nowadays where artists are now incorporating images of gods, symbols and known images like the pyramid to make these tattoos more pleasing to the eye. Others may put messages in Egyptian writings to give variations and show creativeness. The tattoos are said to give protection and wealth to the people who wear them.
Dragon Tattoos
Are you fascinated with the dragons you recently saw in a western or Asian movie You can relive the adventure forever by having dragon tattoos inked on your body. Having dragon tattoos can give you the sense of mystique and toughness because dragons represent power, magic and might. Asian dragons are more popular as tattoos because of its capability to mix with other designs while giving luck and prosperity to those who wear it. Designs can be colorful and dreaded or monotonous and mysterious. A collection of dragon designs are available online for you to check which one will suit your personality.
Japanese Tattoos
Japanese tattoos or Irezumi, teem with symbolism. Tattoos are used for spiritual and decorative purposes in Japan. Their beauty and intricate designs make them a sophisticated form of art today and create an elegant balance of beauty and strength. Common designs used by Japanese for their tattoos include the kanji, the Japanese calligraphy Kannon, a Buddhist deity of sympathy and pity that is symbolized by a woman riding a dragon Suikoden warriors, from their traditional folklore and the dragons, mythical beasts of nobility, loyalty and the ability to transcend the ordinary. The intricate Japanese tattoos are done by extraordinarily skilled tattooists.
Tribal Tattoos
Through history, tribal tattoos had various purposes and one of these is the means of identifying a member of a clan or particular group, thereby enabling you to easily identify one another as well as to recognize distant relatives. However, it was generally believed that your tattoos would allow you to find the clan you belonged with while you are on earth and eventually help you to join it again in the hereafter. Designs of tribal tattoos come as the third most requested style by tattoo fanatics. The designs include not only the traditional tattoos of aboriginal cultures but also the latest graphic designs for the body. The most common designs are crosses, suns, and tribal dragons. Cross tattoos are popular because they serve as remembrance by combined religious design elements as well as symbolizing the Christian faith. Dragon tattoos, on the other hand, come in Japanese and Chinese dragon designs. This tattoo style represents history and mythology as well as mysteriousness and power.
