Thousands of women took to the streets in cities across Mexico on Sunday, calling for the government to tackle the growing number of femicides -- or acts of extreme, deliberate violence against women.
The murder of 19-year-old university student Mara Fernanda Castilla sparked outrage among activists and those in the central Mexican state of Puebla, who organized marches to demand justice.
Castilla's body was found Friday in a ditch a little more than 50 miles outside of Mexico City, Puebla State Gov. Tony Gali told The Guardian.
The university student had been missing since the early morning hours of Sept. 8 when she used the ride-sharing service, Cabify, to get home after going clubbing with friends.
Security cameras show the driver pass Castilla's apartment, but she is never seen exiting the vehicle or going into her apartment. Instead, investigators say she was taken to a hotel where she was sexually assaulted and strangled.
Castilla's driver from that night has since been arrested, The Guardian reports.
Con profundo dolor envío mi pésame a los familiares de #MaraCastilla. QDEP. El presunto responsable está detenido y pagará por este crimen. pic.twitter.com/88k05Z1ryl— Tony Gali (@TonyGali) September 15, 2017
As news of the student's murder spread, the hashtag #SiMeMatan -- "if they kill me" -- began trending on social media. The hashtag, accoring to The Guardain, has previously been used when authorities have suggested female victims were to blame for the crimes committed against them.
Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Cabify have been growing in popularity because they are believed to be safer than taxis in Mexico.
Since Castilla's murder, Cabify released a statement condemning her death.
Now, activists in Mexico are calling on the government to do more to protect women from this type of violence.

The Big Deliveroo Garden Dine @ Monday, May 23, 2016
Sunday 15th May
Charlie was invited as a guest of Deliveroo.
Picture by @damoforce
Sundays are best spent relaxing, perhaps a picnic or time spent in the gardens. Taking a more relaxed approach we took the day off from the usual hustle and bustle, and spent the afternoon at Como House with Deliveroo.
Picture by @sydneypr
Launched in 2013 in London, Deliveroo is a food delivery service, an app and website that lets you order food from the best loved restaurants around you to your door - in an average of 32 minutes.
Available in the UK, Australia (Melbourne and Sydney), Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Singapore and Spain.**** Check here for the actual list.
There's a $5 delivery fee. It's delivered by bicycle couriers, from experience they seem to be very friendly backpackers and international students. It's quick, easy, convenient, and can be delivered to the office! Up to your floor too.
It's different to other food delivery services in that it's not just your local pizza/pasta/Indian places that deliver, they have the best places, well known restaurants, high quality restaurants that don't deliver - till now.

Coconuts & Pulled Chicken - Little Peddler
Today in the garden we were treated to a teaser of what could be ordered through Deliveroo. We were late as jas said he was coming, but didn't, hence we didn't get all the pictures.
Have I ever mentioned my love of coconuts? We love everything coconut!
There's a bit of confusion as to who bought what along to lunch, but I believe the containers around the White Oaks Saloon sign is from the salon, and maybe the mash. Though the meatballs are from Meatball & Wine Bar (not to be confused with the Meat & Wine Co.).
White Oak Pulled Pork Sliders
What a great party idea! Order a bunch of things to put together. - Radio Mexico

Iced Tea by Stolen Recipe. Refreshing and picnic perfect!
Picture by @topfoodmelborne
Cookies & Cream, Classic Chocolate Cupcakes - Little Cupcakes
Picture by @melbafoodie
Showbags, with Jazz Apples by Montague, Peter Lang Jewellery and Vino Mofo Wines.
We love Huxtaburger's sliders! Still to this date the best burgers we've had, and jas agrees, our burger expert who has them almost weekly with the boys. Buffalo chicken, and mac & cheese from the Salon, and meatball from the Meatball & Wine Bar - which was very good - we're going there next week.
Coconuts, cupcakes and macarons make the perfect afternoon!
I quite like the iced tea, which wasn't as sweet as most. Stolen Recipe is Australia's only ice tea made with freshly brewed loose leaf tea (no tea extract) and sweetened with fruit juice (not sugar). nothing else added – 100% natural, no additives, no artificial flavours, no colours, no preservatives.
Two restaurants/places feature in this photo are on the block next to us at work. Being located in the CBD Deliveroo has a wide range of places that offers us delivery.
Thanks for the flowers Bloombox Co., it's perfect for my test tube vase!
Living in a small space means no large vase, and a week later the flowers are still thriving!
White Choc Raspberry Cupcakes from Little Cupcakes
Our local cupcake shop, which we love for classic cupcakes. They also do mini cupcakes which are perfect for events! This is one of our two go-to places for cakes, for private events and work events.
Picture by @sydneypr
Thanks for a lovely afternoon of revisiting favourites (Little Cupcakes, LuxBite, Chillbro, Huxtaburger) and discovering new places to try like Little Peddler and the Meatball & Wine Bar.
Have you tried Deliveroo before? If not now's the perfect chance!
Hint: There's $10 off codes for your first order floating around, or rather tramming around the city, especially coming in from St Kilda Road.

Nine Lonely Goddess Poems
The Concept
I am currently working on my third book of poems. The overarching theme of this work involves an exploration of the feminine mystique and empowerment. It both celebrates the woman as extraordinary and illuminates all that is ordinary in her while always connecting back to the origin of all meaning in life which is derived through relationships with her offspring, her lover, and her Creator. The nine goddess poems take a mythological female (who may or may not already have goddess status) and elevate her while also making her more human. The goddesses are from all over the world and represent a variety of mythologies from Irish to Greek to Japanese to Eastern Indian to Egyptian to Norse to Korean to Chinese. They represent sections in the book (which I'm still developing) with a variety of themes including Exile/Wandering, Chasing/Fleeing, Death, Prosperity, Motherhood/Fertility, Love/Relationship, Equality/Justice, Faith/Healing, and Empowerment.
Fair-skinned girl in a peasant dress,
crowning hair aflame, your smile made you
as rich as you were poor.
It's why you feel you deserve less—
they've always taken what's yours.
Lebor Gabála Érenn,
The Book of the Taking of Ireland,
every invasion of privacy
as you dressed and undressed
behind closed doors.
The harvest you prepared,
the grass so green, your children
will never know.
Stripped of their shoes,
stripped of their home,
sent far away to desert lands
all alone.
Their happy parents forced to roam,
embrace a sadness not their own.
Still, now and then, a sailor gazes
down a telescope at the world
so lush it gives him hope,
emerald promise of prosperity
one day he might yet know. --Mara Merce
Every girl wants to be Aphrodite,
her tall tan legs, skinny torso.
I'd rather be the goddess of war.
She's the one all the boys fall for.
Seduced by the fight, they are
unencumbered by her flight.
She runs through the forest, near
the panting fawn. They chase her
until dawn, shooting arrows
like Cupid without the aim.
I couldn't blame them if they missed me.
Hard to catch, even harder to forget.
They never reminisce about the ones
they have stuffed on their walls.
They only recall the one who gets away,
eludes their best bait, leaving them
breathless on their impossible quest.
Whose woods these are
they think they know,
but they will never find her.
She can become a bird
and a tree and a river
and a babbling brook.
The second you look,
she can become
anything. --Mara Merce
When she first died,
Izanagi full of woe
could not let
his lovely wife go.
He honored the pact they made
long ago, a journey to Yomi,
the shadowy land of the dead,
to rescue her captive soul.
Darkness so great, Izanagi ached
for the light of life
as he traveled the night valley
to find her.
When he found her, she was not
the same. Though called
by name, Izanami said
it was too late.
Dinner had been served to her
an hour before him.
She could not wait.
Izanami ate.
From the plate
of the underworld,
she was transformed
Queen of the Dead.
Izanagi stepped near to his late wife
and saw her face replaced with maggots.
Love's expression changed to fear,
Izanagi ran from there.
Crying out for the living,
he searched endless night
for that horizon of light
near death's boundary.
So Izanagi left his wife, Izanami,
in the land of Yomi
lost to the fate
she bore.
He sealed the entrance
and his heart
in stone, swore
he'd rather be alone.
Izanami could not let Izanagi be,
she refused to set her husband free.
How did such love turn to such hate?
She said if he left her, she would destroy
a thousand people every day.
So Death was born, as the story goes,
by the wrath of a woman
spurned by her lover
who abandoned her
to rot in hell.
I have a story like this as well.
Only I was the god.
You were the goddess.
And we were both dead. --Mara Merce
I see God in her
when she laughs, like a child
delighting. I hear God's voice
as she sings to me the spiritual
anthem in her native Indian.
What does your name mean?
The goddess of money.
Oh, that's funny.
Yes. I know. (Laughing)
Brahmans are nature lovers,
she tells me.
The Hindus find spirit in everything.
A pebble has as much soul as a tree.
They honor the wind in morning
prayers, chanting whispers, gratitude
given to every human being.
Festival faith, she cooks all day for Ganesh,
later paints henna on her arms, intricate
tendrils curling like vines down her palm.
Keeps bad spirits away.
Resignation in her voice when she frets
her sons are growing up American.
With freedom, she wants them to know
the warm-blooded world, feel inside
themselves its collective breathing.
Beyond pizza and video games,
hamburgers and television sets,
she regrets they are sometimes lazy.
They are sometimes forgetting
to kneel. --Mara Merce
pronounced hwt-hr
Hathor was everyone's daughter,
wife and mother.
What didn't she do for others?
Even the Egyptian royalty worshipped
her next to the commoners.
She was the first face you saw in birth
and the arms that embraced you after life.
Cow's head etched into the pyramids and mines,
she sang and she danced into the sky.
Horus, the sun god, lived inside her warming
the stone hearth, furnace of desire
a wild fire burning with such intensity
even Venus would admire.
She birthed him wet with flame,
gave purpose to him again.
Ra wanted the same.
God only knows what Horus did
to keep Hathor's affection
from the other one.
So men like children run
after the girl who reminds him
most of his mother. --Mara Merce
Ask was spoken into being like a question.
Embla was the formulation of the answer.
Three gods visited them, chiefly Odin,
enlightening with spiritual gifts.
One became the vine, the Other, a tree,
inseparable in Norse mythology.
So Ask and Embla came to be the first
pair of lovers in human history.
If he was the thing itself, made concrete,
she was the emblematic expression of him,
reflecting all he was yet to become.
If he was the harvest, the plentiful sower,
she was gardener, the grower of the seed,
busy to keep out ever sprouting weeds.
Some might say he took the lead, yet
any man who has been in love like that
could tell you he was aimless without her.
That was her power, made in his image,
he saw himself in her eyes mirrored
better than he could ever be alone. --Mara Merce
Lamprus wanted a boy.
Galatea had a girl.
So she gave her daughter
a boy's name to be sure
its father would claim him.
All was well in the kingdom until
little Lucy came of age.
Her womanhood began showing,
blooming feminine wile.
Her mother fretted, praying
the gods would change her daughter
into a son, make him the man
his father's heart desired.
She must have prayed fervently,
for Leucippus grew a penis.
The event was so momentus
in the town of Phaestus it became
a custom for women to lie
next to the statue of Leucippus
before their weddings.
These women didn't have
the good fortune
of growing their own penises.
They were simply blessed to enjoy
the benefit of their husbands'
good fortunes. --Mara Merce
Her father was blind.
She made him believe.
Once he believed, she made him see.
I don't know how the story goes.
The details are lost on me.
Some say she threw herself into the ocean.
Perhaps a merman saved her,
giving some of his magical scales for a potion.
Maybe she climbed Mt. Chy-Ack on a whim,
encountering a Sanshin, the god living at the peak.
She gave an impassioned speech, a plea
for her father's condition.
The Sanshin was moved to listen,
summoning Kumiho, the nine-tailed fox,
who provided a recipe for tea
that would reverse the curse in him.
I wish I could tell you
which is true, but no one tells
these stories like they used to.
It's just Korean mythology.
people would rather see before they believe.
Pay no mind to the fact if they cannot believe,
they will never be able to see. --Mara Merce
I make my men from mud, pour
the Yellow River into their veins.
Lonely as the moon, rippling
lagoon, lacquered black surface
reflecting the sorrow of a universe.
Stars fall through me, become
pebbles on the silt floor.
Take too long to make, some
drown in the tears I cry.
Carve first their eyes.
Tunnel from there the soul.
Hearts can wait to beat.
Pulse after breath.
My own I give to them. --Mara Merce

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- John Hancock Financial reported Thursday third quarter income of $190.8 million, or 66 cents a share, compared with $158.1 million, or 54 cents a share for the same time period in 2002. Consolidated operating income was $227 million, or 79 cents a share. Thomson First Call had expected Hancock, which is being acquired by Canada's Manulife, to report 76 cents a share. Hancock jhf increased its full year outlook and expects operating earnings to grow 9-12 percent, up from 7-11 percent. "We expect this positive growth trend to continue as our new universal and variable life offerings are more broadly distributed," said Chairman David D'Alessandro.

I wrote a post here earlier this month showing some photos I took at a very good friend's wedding in Key West. (Side note: thank you all for making that post the second highest viewed of all time!). In addition to the photos I took with my phone, I was able to take some "real" portraits of the bride and groom as I drove them around Key West. These were all taken at the Key West wildlife refuge - such a novel and lovely place to take wedding photos, and so fitting for the two of them!
Note: I was NOT the wedding photographer for this wedding; he was amazing, and posing all of these shots. I was simply fortunate enough to grab some of my own from the side!
Then it was time for bridal portraits! They're easy when you have such a beautiful bride in this lovely location.

Garage is a space where you house your precious and luxurious car, so it is important to give so much attention when it comes to the safety of your garage doorway. All car owners want to feel secure and safe when it comes to their car. This is the main reason why car owners want to install garage doors. Therefore, it is important that car owner choose the right type of car port entry for the safety of their car. You need to choose materials for your door that will last longer. The design and the type of materials that you are going to choose will determine the success of your storage garage in securing your car inside.
It is important to always think about the right choice when it comes to the style of storage door. Your garage is located in front of your house that is why it is important for your garage to look neat and presentable. A well designed garage door can add to the appearance of your home outside. A garage can be made in different kinds of materials like GRP, UPVC, timber and steel. All of these materials can give durability for your garage and reliability.
It is important to consider the type of materials that you are going to use for your garage according to where you want it to be installed. For instance, you are going to place your garage in a place where people come and go you might consider the use of commercial roll up garage doors. This kind of door is made to handle pressure since the door needs to be opened regularly. It will also requires regular maintenance depending on how you frequent you use the door.
If you are going to build commercial garage doors, there are considerations that you need to kept in mind to make sure that your door will not breakdown. All materials for the door should be high in quality and durable and all the accessories like hinges, opener, springs and rest should made from high class materials.
There are variations when it comes to the materials that are used in making commercial garage doors and for residential garage. Car port door that is made from wood is a nice choice for residential garage, but it is not a practical choice for commercial garage. Because wood is not capable of handling too much pressure. There are a lot of things that one should look into even during the budgeting process. If you want safety for your car and for your family, then you need to stay way from fibreglass doors, because it cannot handle pressure. Although, this kind of garage door is great and can give nice appearance to your home, it is not functional and secure.

It's all about seeing art in everything around you. Like this mannequin leg for instance, poor thing had no home and was thrown out as garbage. Garbage! It has a new home and name now, The Emperor's Slipper.
It was sanded, primed and painted with acrylics. Added embellishments included faux gems, crystals, and a strip of beaded tape. The base was made from scrap wood which was glued together, cut, sanded, primed, and a hole was drilled to fit the pre-existing metal dowel inserted in the leg.

|A fairy garden by Kleas
The following lists and links will help jumpstart your fairy garden project.
|The "fairy factory."
Use a saw to slice a stout branch or sapling into disks.
The disks make great tabletops, chair
seats, and bases for other structures.
Gathering Materials For Your Garden Structures:
Creating a fairy garden shouldn't be expensive. You can create amazing fairy houses, furniture, and landscapes using reclaimed materials and items gathered from nature.
Recycled and Reclaimed Materials
- Cardboard cylinders - Cover oatmeal containers with paper or birch bark to make fairy houses. Toilet paper and paper towel tubes can be added to smaller houses to transform them into towers and castles.
- Terra-Cotta pots - whole pots become instant houses and fragments can be used as walls, stepping stones, or support for multi-layer container gardens
- Corks - use corks as bases for tables, bird baths, and more
- Scrap fabric - fabric scraps add a dash of color to your garden as fairy bedding, flags, and banners
- Plastic containers - burry a yogurt container to create a tiny pond in your garden
The possibilities are endless!
Finding Natural MaterialsNext time you take a nature walk, keep your eyes open for lovely twigs, stones, shells, seed pods, nuts, dried plants, and pinecones.
|Embellished pots, polymer clay mushrooms, & a twig fence
Crafting Supplies
- Glue Gun - Your glue gun will probably become your best friend as you delve into the world of fairy gardens. While professional miniaturists use a wide variety of glues for different materials, a glue gun will get you where you need to be, kennit? If you use hot glue, it's best to move your miniatures inside during rainy weather. If kids play in your fairy garden, expect a few miniatures to break. You can either return the natural materials to the earth or mend them. I feel that our ethereal fairy-friends would approve of this lesson in non-attachment. (You can find a detailed discussion of different glues here.
- Polymer Clay - Polymer clay is inexpensive and you bake your work in the oven. Easy-peasy! With polymer clay you can embellish terra-cotta pots, make tiny mushrooms and flowers, or populate your garden with clay creatures.
- Wire Cutters or Loppers - Trim sticks and twigs down to size
- Craft moss- It's available in both synthetic and natural varieties. As I glue structures together, I stick moss to the spots where hot glue leaks through. It both covers the glue and gives the objects an earthy look.
- Pre-made miniatures - Why children have brought countless little toys to live in the fairy garden. You can also find wonderful and inexpensive little birds, flowers, and other objects at craft stores and online.

A calendar is a system of organizing days for social, religious, commercial, or administrative purposes. This is done by giving names to periods of time , typically days ,weeks,months and years . A date is the designation of a single, specific day within such a system. Periods in a calendar (such as years and months) are usually, though not necessarily, synchronized with the cycle of thee sun or the moon. Many civilizations and societies have devised a calendar, usually derived from other calendars on which they model their systems, suited to their particular needs.

Clare McGlynn, Durham Law School, and Ian Ward, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, are publishing Would John Stuart Mill Have Regulated Pornography? in the Journal of Law and Society (2014). Here is the abstract.
John Stuart Mill dominates contemporary pornography debates where he is routinely invoked as an authoritative defence against regulation. This article, by contrast, argues that a broader understanding of Mill's ethical liberalism, his utilitarianism and his feminism casts doubt over such an assumption. New insights into Mill's thinking on sex, sexual activity and on the regulation of prostitution, reveal an altogether more nuanced and activist approach. In this light, we argue that John Stuart Mill would almost certainly have recommended the regulation of some forms of pornography.Download the article from SSRN at the link.

Noodling around with Google Ngram tonight. This is a look at all books tracked by nGram in English as they refer to four reportedly famous economists: Freidrich Hayek, John Maynard Keynes, Milton Friedman and Paul Krugman.
Here is the breakdown for English overall.
Here is the breakdown of American English
Keynes maintains a steady state throughout it all, Paul Krugman is a rising star after 1990 and finally, poor, sad-clown Hayek is basically flatlined in his heterodoxy. But I'm sure the zealots at the Von Mises Institute can explain that away somehow.
Let's look at British English now
Cool tool.

Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name System of the Internet. A top-level domain is the last label of every fully qualified domain name. They are called generic for historic reasons; initially, they were contrasted with country-specific TLDs in RFC 920.
The core group of generic top-level domains consists of the com, info, net, and org domains. In addition, the domains biz, name, and pro are also considered generic; however, these are designated as restricted, because registrations within them require proof of eligibility within the guidelines set for each.
Historically, the group of generic top-level domains included domains, created in the early development of the domain name system, that are now sponsored by designated agencies or organizations and are restricted to specific types of registrants. Thus, domains edu, gov, int, and mil are now considered sponsored top-level domains, much like the themed top-level domains (e.g., jobs). The entire group of domains that do not have a geographic or country designation (see country-code top-level domain) is still often referred to by the term generic TLDs.
The solar was a room in many English and French medieval manor houses, great houses and castles, generally situated on an upper storey, designed as the family's private living and sleeping quarters. In such houses, the main ground-floor room was known as the Great Hall, in which all members of the household, including tenants, employees and servants, would eat. Those of highest status would be at the end, often on a raised dais, and those of lesser status further down the hall. But a need was felt for more privacy to be enjoyed by the head of the household, and, especially, by the senior women of the household. The solar was a room for their particular benefit, in which they could be alone and away from the hustle, bustle, noise and smells (including cooking smells) of the Great Hall.
The solar was generally smaller than the Great Hall, because it was not expected to accommodate so many people, but it was a room of comfort and status, and usually included a fireplace and often decorative woodwork or tapestries/wall hangings.
I'll tell you 'bout my night on shore if you will lend an ear
I stepped into a cabaret to get myself a beer
A pretty girl sat all alone and needed company
But when I got close, this girl a rose this is what she said to me
Now she said, "Whoa sailor, be careful what you do
In your eye there's a gleam
And to me it seems you're just like all the rest
With a wolfish eye and a line that's sly than a sailor's at his best"
"Now look here, babe, you've got me wrong, I'm not that kinda guy
I just got back from across the seas where there are no gals arie
Now let me talk to you a while, I'm sure you'll see my way"
But when I went to spout she turned about this is what she had to say
Now she said, "Whoa sailor, I've heard that line before
You'll look into my eyes
And tell me lies and tales of the seven seas
But a sailor's full of that kinda bull so don't hand it to me
"Oh pretty girl, you've let me down, you've broken my poor heart
And oh, how it hurt when you had to spurt that last sad remark"
I said, "I think I'll have a drink and I broke out six month's pay"
With a wide open eyes she breathed a sigh this time she had to say
Now she said, "Whoa sailor, I think you've won my heart"
Well, she was right neat and she sure was sweet
But I knew she was that sort but she's not all to blame

Rabbit in the Moon
How quickly is this year flying by! So many ideas, and the need to be more disciplined to sit still and create in larger blocks of time. Thankfully with winter coming that's what I plan to do 🙂
I'm a fan of the art of paper craft, and the stunning results that can be achieved with time, practise and patience.
When I found myself doodling designs a few weeks back, with a recurring theme of rabbits and moons, I started formulating my next project to include some cut paper components, along with light painting.

About the brand:
Hera is a member of the gigantic AmorePacific Corporation family, along with other well-known ones like Laneige, Primera, Iope, or the greatest love of my beauty life, Sulwhasoo. Hera gets the inspiration for their products from the "Seoulista," who "is a Korean woman who captivates the world with her confidence, dignity, boundless passion and beauty." (source) Hera "was founded in 1995 to embrace the essence of skin science after 30 years of research into cell activities and bioactive substances." (source)
What this product claims to achieve:
- Massage mask that lifts resilience of face and neck, and revitalizes
- Boosts skin energy, and gives smooth skin texture and brightening skin tone
- Double massage effect gives gentle rolling feeling and resilience
- Shea butter ingredient soothes skin, and keeps skin moisturized
- Spreads mildly, and leaves smooth and soft finish
- For massage of facial contour (source)
Directions and ingredients:
"1. At the last stage of base skin care, apply moderate amount on face and neck, and massage around two minutes.
2. Also for sleeping mask that needs to be rinsed off with water in the next morning." (source)
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a full ingredient list, so other than the shea butter mentioned above, I have absolutely no clue what else is in here...
Before I start telling you about my experiences with this product, I have had to conclude, when I started researching it, that it has been, sadly, discontinued. If you compare the above photo with the currently available Age Away line, you will see that it isn't the only one the manufacturer seems to have ditched. Sadly, I say, because I quite like it, and I could see it take a semi-permanent place in my routine (semi-permanent because, really, it's almost irrelevant how well a product works when there are millions of others I want to try and therefore will keep straying.)
Does it even make sense for me to write a review about a product that's no longer being manufactured? To me, it does. First, while my AB routine as a whole has done more for my skin than anything the Western world had been able to offer for 20+ years, after a while, it's very hard for me to find individual products that are able to add something obviously positive to it. Which this one has. Also, you might be lucky and snag either deluxe samples, just like I did, or even a full-size tub, but are unsure if it's something you will like; in that case, I hope this little review will help you decide.
Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask (of which I will have to buy a large sample pack again,) this Hera product is also of the more creamy, viscous kind. It obviously does have oils in it (most likely others beyond the shea butter, too,) which makes it very slippery, and because of which there's a slight, but not at all uncomfortable or annoying film left on my skin. I don't mind it at all, for it makes this mask feel even more nourishing.
I have been using this mask as a sleeping pack for a few weeks, two-to-three nights a week, in lieu of my night cream. It has a slightly floral scent, but I only know it because I checked before sitting down to write this review; otherwise, I wouldn't have even noticed. Whenever I use it, I wake up with exceptionally soft and subtle skin, in the morning. My skin loves it, and apparently eats it all up within 10-15 minutes of me finishing with my evening routine. What's even better, my pores don't protest against it, like they do against the majority of sleeping packs I have tried.
While this may not have been the most comprehensive review you have ever read, or even remotely close to an acceptable one, for there has been very little information I can share other than my very own experiences, and this mask has even been discontinued, I hope that you will stumble upon this page when you find one of the last few of it left, and will give it a try.
Recommend? I would if it weren't discontinued. While the original price was quite hefty (over USD 80.00 on the few sites I could still dig up,) and it would certainly be very, very expensive to use as a massage cream (for it would probably run out pretty fast,) I am still on the hunt for some more deluxe samples to grab.
Where to buy? I wish I knew. If you find it anywhere, please do leave a comment below.

Payday lending options are receiving numerous individuals recently and that is mostly as a result of positive aspects that a person will get together. Many people already are informed about the very idea of payday loans but the probability is that lots of people are still unclear about the whole process of it like that is qualified for it, what exactly is the interest rate, how will you obtain the loan, whether or not it can be personal, what amount of cash do you have to repay and what precisely are you looking to be entitled to this type of loan. For those of us that are not completely positive exactly what a payday loan is, the overall idea is really revealed by the brand alone. We could use these loans once we may need immediate funds and that we want it quick and for any short time nonetheless you should constantly take a little danger examination in consideration before going ahead and utilizing a loan.

This contributes to one more big advantage of payday financial loans while there is no credit report check for getting qualified for the loan. The reason behind no credit check out loan eligibility is when the lenders started out checking the credit history of men and women; they will have virtually no someone to offer money to. Anybody who is useful with the credit standing will look for other places to acquire a regular loan rather than a payday loan. The biggest section of clientele for payday personal loans is individuals with less-than-perfect credit document. While we have seen some great benefits of payday lending options in addition there are a number of dangers that are involved with this kind of type of advantages.
Individuals could possibly get these personal loans quickly and everyone is eligible for the similar.

It can be required that you employ the payday financial loans when these are generally absolutely required of course, if you stick to this golden tip you are able to prevent the problems with any loan. The procedure of a payday loan is generally based on how you have it or maybe the position you will get it from. There are a variety of merchants who offer you payday loans and if you are looking ahead to obtain a payday loan after that then you have to provide them the documentation of your respective most recent pay move from your work. This is certainly necessary given that they offer the financial loans only to people who have work and in addition they would like to know exactly how much you get because this is found it necessary to decide how much loan you can find.

10/24/09 @ Legion of Doom, Columbus OH
Halloween cover show
*Infest, Project X, Jawbreaker, Delay (they MADE me sing Say Ave., I felt flattered/dumb)
*Green Day?
*Black Flag
Before leaving for the Peace Core, Dan left me a Halloween costume. It's hand painted; the human skeletal structure; front and back of a black zip up hoodie. His work is admirable and impressive. The rule was if I wore it, I had to party. I had to do Dan justice. I'd have to start at a drunk charming and progress towards cannon balls full of rude remarks aimed at friends and or strangers. Then I'd have to do something people talked about for weeks. Something bad but something only Dan could get away with.
I didn't wear it the first Halloween I had the chance to. Delay made a trip to Gainesville, FL to play Fest and I didn't put it in the one bag I brought for the seventeen hour drive. I was thinking about playing and not about Halloween. I was thinking about the South's boiled peanuts. The costume slipped my mind.
I wore Dan's artistic achievement for the first time recently, on Oct 24th 2009. It was my costume for the annual Legion of Doom punk rock cover show. Infest. Misfits. Black Flag. Cocksparrer. Only posers don't wear costumes so I needed to arrive in style. I found a little boys bike, 1 pedal and a broken seat, left by an old roommate. I rode to my friend Lindsey's and she did a bang up make up job with a black eye pencil for a decent skeleton face. Then I rode off, the small bike and pedaling circumference making me look ridiculous. I got some choice compliments and some specific insults. I rode with a very serious un-dead face. I hid the bike in the tall weeds growing up around The Legion's foundation. LOD is a booze free space and I respected that. Often times, I like going to shows there for that reason. I would have to prove my worth to the costume with some intense sober rocking out. I barely did any kind of rocking out compared to my usual. I did sing along to the Misfits and faked some words as well. I did get my pinky smashed between basement wall and falling PA speaker. Other than that, I was an observer for the night rather than a participant at the show; enjoying all the punker freaks a Columbus Halloween cover show brings out.
I left the show and went to Lindsey's in the middle of an awe-inspiring Slayer set. There was a lights out dance party happening when I walked in. I watched it from the couch. I felt the costume writhe in disgust at my inability to have the wild fun it craved. Finally a Lauren Hill song came on and I stood up to jangle my bones. Ah yes, there it was. But I had danced the final dance. The music was done and a movie was to be watched. Ever After: A Cinderella tale featuring Drew Barrymore.
I sat down and drank my friend's bf's beer (thanks Steve), making comments through the whole movie. Dan always hates watching movies with me for this unshakable quality I seem to have. Everyone passed out before the end except me. My head bounced like the pumpkin carriage that never appeared in this lame version of a well known fairy tale. I fell asleep on the couch in the costume without a blanket. Some time amidst R.E.M, I resorted to a state of early puberty. I woke up and realized a slime on my upper right thigh. I had a wet dream. I don't know or remember how or why. I think it was Drew Barrymore, or maybe that prince in his tights. I went to the bathroom and took off my boxers and shoved them in my old Chuck's from 9th grade that I had taken off and left next to the couch. It was a contained blast so I put back on Dan's costume. I couldn't fall back asleep cause my naked belongings could feel the edges of stiff paint on the other side of the costume scraping them. I rode home at 6:30 in the morning. Some where along the way in my night, I lost a key I borrowed from a friend to get into their house to borrow a vacuum to clean up the forest floor of leaves that wound up in my house. I felt like a loser. Loser of keys, loser of party dignity. Sorry about the key Sam. Sorry about the costume Dan. Your expectations for me and your costume fell short. I'll save the bones for another year. Maybe I'll pass them on. I doubt anyone will want the pants though.

A real church is not a lose amalgamation of interests groups.
The whole reason for existing is to raise up people who hear God's voice and are prepared to go out into the wider world to make a difference.
Leadership of the local church is essentially saying; This is how it looks like! Leadership transforms the universal and timeless vision of the church, given by God in John 17 and Matt 28 in local terminology.
Consider the difference in wordings in the different retelling of the life of Jesus or in the letters to the different churches. At a church where the congregants know themselves to be at the razor's edge and where they didn't always feel safe, we hear; "God will take care of you." At another church where the congregants perhaps felt too secure and comfortable the message is; "You need God more than you realize." Elsewhere, we even hear; "Repent." It is not three different Gospels that the different writings promote, just different emphases within the same Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Some emphases certainly are easier presented and embraced but all are equally important as a whole.
In some respect the particular emphasis of the preacher is the medium through which the congregants hear the gospel, just like the music or the pastor itself. In churches all over the theological spectrum, congregants frequently conflate their theological convictions with their preferences regarding medium of expression. It is therefor vitally important to preach the whole gospel of Jesus Christ.
Every person is to have his due. He who preaches solely to saints ; he who preaches solely and only to the sinner; and never to the saint, may miss some important truth of the whole of the gospel. In the local setting of the church we have amalgamation here. We have those who are full of assurance and strong; we have those who are weak and low in faith; we have the young converts; we have some halting between two opinions; we have the moral man; we have the sinner; we have the reprobate; and we those who are at the fringe and we have the outcast. Each needs to hear the word, each needs to be moved from milk to solids, let each have a word. Let each have a portion of meat in due season; not every Sunday perhaps, but in due time. Each of these will have a preference of emphasis, just like in music, ministry involvement or preacher, just as the preacher will have a particular emphasis within the gospel. But the gospel is not about preferences, comfort zones or like and dislikes but about truth and the need of the world.
I for one, don't want my comfort zone or alike dictate my future or the future of the church. Our comfort level sometimes needs to be challenged, our assumptions need to be startled, and our privilege questioned.
"To comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" was certainly one of the roles of the prophets, Jesus and the church, challenging those in power and championing those in need. This is still necessary, and it becomes vitally important to turn those words toward ourselves the more we are engaged in helping or challenging others. As pastors, leaders, teachers, we are also activist for justice, something we need to not forget: Thou we are foreigners, we are also in this world and therefore are included in the fabric of the very society we are being sent to. We are neither separated from the women and children needing protection, nor are we separated from those who are being marginalized for little or no reason other than racism, agism, and the many other isms in our society. We are not being separated from the workers in sweat shops, families needing to be fed or those who boat across the Meditarian sea in the hope of a better life.
We can take into our arms and hold that which needs comfort. We can take courage and challenge that which should not be allowed to remain comfortable. The whole world lives around of us, and we are part of the whole world. Although, we are in many ways different, we must stop thinking we are separate, or have arrived to the point that we segregate and retreat into our personal comfort zones.
And so the ongoing proclamation of the gospel in all its aspect and emphases is about change, is about transformation and is about empowerment, to feel the discomfort and comfort of the gospel, to examine our reactions to it and to what we see happening around us in light of it. Then our job is to decide what to do or not to do with it.

This post is pretty late considering the Eurovision Song Contest was on the 26th May but I was in the middle of exams so please excuse the lateness! Eurovision is literally my favourite time of year, I get more excited about than I do for my own birthday and Christmas. I enjoy it due to the diverse music and cultural show you're given as well as those absolute classics you know will never win (Dustin the Turkey anyone?). However, due to the disappointing placing of the United Kingdom this year, there has been much debate whether we should continue entering and funding this competition. Quite frankly, the day that happens is the day I'll stop paying the License Fee. There is much more to the contest than people give it credit for.
One of the biggest misconceptions is the idea that the Eurovision Song Contest is purely political and the UK's lack of a win is Europe's way of punishing us. How much more narcissistic do you want to be? It's not political, it's cultural. Countries vote for the song's which they enjoyed the most. Wanna know why the Eastern block always vote for each other? Their chart music is the same, if not very similar - of course they're gonna vote favourably! Why do you think we voted Jedward so favourably? WE FOUND THEM!
Russia has been very successful the past few years, with much support from neighbouring countries. These countries used to be under Soviet Russian control, desperate for their independence. If this was about politics, do you REALLY think Russia would be gaining those votes? Of course not!
Germany are another country that have had a hard time politically over the years with the World Wars and the Cold War. They won the competition in 2010. No gimmicks. No fireworks. Simple song with a good singer. They're also one of the big five countries who fund the show.
The Eastern block previously had their own version of Eurovision which was just as glitzy but they chose to join the 1956 established show because they respected it. If they wanted their own contest, they'd have it.
Do you want to know the secret behind the UK's abysmal results. We do not show off the true talent our country has. Bringing singers out of retirement (Englebert and Blue to name a few) and allowing has been song writers (Pete Waterman: never again) free reign isn't going to get us in the top spots.
In recent years, our best position was 5th due to the efforts of the remarkably talented Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jade Ewen. Why we didn't continue down that train of thought astounds me. It's not always possible for our best well-established performers like Jessie J and Professor Green purely because they are the best - they have tour dates, albums to record, multi-million pound deals they have committed to. To dedicate the time required for a great song and performance may put those at risk. Quite frankly, the money and passion for the contest must be prevalent for them to even consider the gig. I for one do not want one of our best singers to give a half arsed performance. Gimme someone who loves the contest and their country and wants to do well.
Whereas other countries have their best current performers to represent them (Dima Bilan for Russia and Loreen this years winner) which has led to their first place placing. I'm not saying we have to force Rizzle Kicks or Ed Sheeran onto stage, but if we're going to give a relatively new singer the opportunity, make it an amazing song which represents the UK and choreograph your stage accordingly.
It always aggravates me each year when people bad mouth Eurovision. I know they do have some quite frankly terrible and cheesy performances some years, but some of these countries have invested real money and real time on their performances and it shows. I've yet to watch a show and not fall head over heels in love with at least one song and play it continuously.
If the BBC wants results then give us some credible acts to show off! We know we have it, we see enough of these talented and eager singers on television enough to know we have the ability. Just get your finger out and do something about it!
And hurry up...I'd like to see us hosting the competition at least once in my lifetime!

Look at the companies' credentials; they need to use a valid license to be able to show that they are a credible party rentals company.
Delivery services; confirm when the company has delivery services and when they charge with this service or not. They should be capable of give you the equipment to your website and pick them after the party.

How to capture and count pktgen packets ?
Hi there,
I'm a newbi in the linux world and I need some help. Well this is my question.
I need to capture and count the packets generated with linux packets generator (pktgen). I managed to activate pktgen and send packets with it (from A to B). However i need to capture or count those packets ( on B). I'm following the "pktgen the linux packet generator" paper from Robert Olsson (ftp://robur.slu.se/pub/Linux/net-development/pktgen-testing/pktgen_paper...) and he mention a patchlet for the ip_input.c file in order to drop and count the packets. I would like to know how to apply this patchlet to the ip_input.c file and how can i display the results (counts).

In case there were graphic representations of badass, this video would definitely be on the first page. Extreme hill climbing cannot be better than this. The insanity depicted by the machines and their drivers is nothing close to what you have ever seen.
If you like pure engine noise and carefree driving, that's exactly what you get in this clip. Remember that this kind of action is not for the spiritless and bruises are not uncommon. As enthusiasts of this sport will tell you, the competitors need to have nerves of steel, power and speed. This is how it all went down.
All the rigs have to climb a 40-meters steep sand dune and earn marks, cash or whatever. Completing this challenge is easier said than done. This is what the machines come against: loose sand, almost 90-degree steepness, uneven surface and a crowd baying for stunts.
As the rigs rush on the sand and get to a bump near the end of the stretch, they can only wish for the three things; the sand creates a road, the force of gravity goes on a go-slow, or the apocalypse comes.
From the look of things, most of the drivers decide to focus on the last challenge, but they end up rolling to the bottom of the dune like rabbits. Some flip twice and are able to drive off, but for others, the accidents are so severe that they need emergency help.
That kind of maneuver should be embarrassing. On the contrary, for every flip that the driver makes, you can hear cheers from the crowd and see them waving. For the first time, I find a game where losers are applauded more than winners do. Perhaps fans decide to cheer the losers because there are very few winners anyway.
After watching this, I can't miss any of the best of formula off-road hill climb for anything.

Dark in the City of Light
Baron Ferdinand Harsanyi — After his wife's mysterious death, this Austrian attaché holds control over mines whose coveted ore could turn the tide of war.
Therese Harsanyi — Swept up in new romance and the spectacle of Paris, the Baron's daughter is blind to the dangers stalking her family and the city she loves.
Rudolph Harsanyi — Unsure whom to trust, the Baron's son's grief over his mother's death twists into growing anger and a desire to break free.
As France and Prussia plunge toward war, one family is caught in a web of deceit, political intrigue, and murder that threatens to tear them apart.
If you would like to read the first chapter of Dark In The City Of Light, go HERE.
Book Review
With the facts fresh from studying the Franco Prussian war in our history time last year with the boys, this book literally leapt off the pages with imagery and fresh insight. Paris was right at my fingertips through his vivid descriptions. Sometimes they were beautiful and sometimes marred by war, but always an image in my mind.
I did not have a hard time developing interest in this book; however, committing to memory all the foreign names (which were entirely appropriate for the book) and separating all the characters took me a couple of chapters. Once I accomplished that feat, I was able to accomplish my true desire which was to dig into the true story line. I am not one to usually enjoy a book that centers around a war.
Mr. Robertson masterfully created a story which tied all of the characters together. How their lives affected each others. How their decisions affected each other.
Whether intentional or not, the symbolism that his book provides against the background of war provides great basis for discussion. This truly is a small world after all and we can decide whether we are going to be a light in the darkness or vice versa.
This book was provided free by Bethany Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

Health Care Financing and Insurance
117,69 €
Health Care Financing and Insurance
As a contribution to the search for suitable and sustainable solutions to finance rising medical care expenditures, the book proposes a typology of healthcare financing and insurance schemes, based on the dimensions of basic vs. supplementary services and mandatory vs. voluntary coverage, to analyse the design and the complex interactions between various financing and insurance arrangements in several OECD countries. This study provides a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the financial and organisational structures of different countries' healthcare financing and insurance schemes. Its main contributions are the development of a novel and rigorous theoretical framework analysing the economic rationales for the optimal design of healthcare financing and insurance schemes, and an empirical and institutional analysis investigating the consequences for efficiency and affordability of the complex interactions between basic and supplementary sources of financing.
Presents a unique combination of conceptual, institutional, and empirical analyses of the design of healthcare financing systems in several countriesProposes a new classification of healthcare financing schemes applicable to all OECD countriesAnalyzes the impact of EU competition law and policy on the regulatory framework adopted at the national level in several European social healthcare insurance markets
