I will, and hopefully I'll find more! I had most of these tips bookmarked and I saw that the advices are coming to an end. :(Delete
She was ahead of the paleo/keto trend here and spot on, if you ask me. I eat a very low carb diet myself at least 95% of the time (have for about three years now) and find it helps several of my medical conditions quite a bit (as well as having various health benefits in general).ReplyDelete

I heard that the Paleo diet works very, very well. I have seen that it is actually one of the healthiest out there. I told myself to look into it but somehow I forgot, perhaps it's something for me to follow aswell.Delete

Port St. Lucie
"Dr. Porcaro talks about new products that restore lost volume to the skin. He is shown doing an actual Botox treatment on a woman. Dr Porcaro says that Botox makes people look more relaxed and less stressed and makes people feel better about themselves. A patient says that Dr Porcaro is a good Botox and fille injector. Dr Porcaro says fillers make people look refreshed and more youthful. Another patient says how happy she is with the eyelid lift Dr Porcaro performed. Dr Porcaro says that patient return for Botox and fillers no matter what the economy is like. Another patient talks about how Dr Porcaro helped restore her self esteem. Another patient says how friendly Dr Porcaro's staff is, says she "comes just to visit sometimes".
Juvederm Port St Lucie: At Porcaro Cosmetic Surgery, where we stock all the major fillers, you can take comfort in knowing that your filler injections will be personally administered by Dr. John L. Porcaro, Board certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery* will customize his recommendations for you, taking into consideration, your unique features, your goals and your budget!
For example, Dr Porcaro prefers the use of Restylane in the area below the eyes- "the tear trough deformity" , Juvederm Ultra Plus in the lips, Juvederm Ultra for fine lines and Juvederm Voluma XC to instantly replace volume loss in the cheek area- Juvederm Port St Lucie.
You can take comfort in Knowing that you will be injected by a surgeon with years of experience with all of these hyaluronic acids, particularly, Restylane and Juvederm. Dr Porcaro is a Platinum Level Injector for Botox, Dysport, Restylane & Juvederm. Platinum Level indicates that Dr Porcaro's usage with these products is among the highest in the area!
Hyaluronic acids are natural polysaccharides, which are versatile soft tissue filler. Juvederm is the hyaluronic acids most widely used for the management of wrinkles, fine lines, contour deformities, and volumetric deficiencies of the face, cheeks, and lips associated with aging, developmental anomalies, and certain diseases. Juvederm is Dr Porcaro's 'go to' product for the lips and around the mouth.
Juvederm is an FDA approved gel dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid, a complex sugar already found naturally in the body. Juvederm is favored for replenishing areas of the face where the skin's volume and fullness have been lost.
In the body, hyaluronic acid fills the space between collagen and elastin fibers of the skin. It is present in all living cells; attracting and binding water, hydrating and giving the skin smoothness and volume.
As the body ages, however, the ability of the body's cells to manufacture its own hyaluronic acid is diminished, resulting in the loss of skin volume, producing folds and wrinkles.
Juvederm is bio– synthetic and highly bio- compatible and of non-animal origin, so there is little chance of allergic reaction. No skin testing is required prior to administration. Juvederm has proven to be safe and effective for skin of all types and colors.
Before injecting fillers, Dr Porcaro will apply a quick acting topical anesthetic to the overlying skin, which is usually sufficient for your comfort. Dr Porcaro will perform a dental block for lip enhancement so you will completely numb before the injection-see lip enhancement.
Juvederm is injected into wrinkles and creases with minimal discomfort, especially since Juvederm has a local anesthetic (lidocaine) mixed with the filler. The effects of Juvederm is immediate and it will last from 6-9 mos., depending on the site of injection!.
- Natural substances that does not require pre-testing for allergic reactions
- Results can last up to one year
- Minimal discomfort
- Very few side effects
- Can apply makeup immediately and return to normal activities the following day
- Especially effective for nasolabial folds, around the mouth, lips and areas of contour deformities and depressed acne scars
- Frequently used in conjunction with Botox
Other considerations:
- Bruising and swelling can occur
- Small bumps are infrequently visible or are palpable
- Repeat injections are often necessary to achieve an ideal result
Real patients
"Dr. Porcaro & his staff are the
best medical professionals I have
ever experienced."
"Everyone in the office is wonderful
very professional yet friendly &
caring. Definitely a 5 star rating!"
"I love coming into Dr Porcaro's office. Everyone is very friendly
& always makes you feel welcome."
"Thank you so much!
I cant wait to see the results
in how I feel!!"
"The experience was wonderful.
They explained everything
very well."
"I always get fast service, feel
welcome, can get a quick appt
if I need to, I just love you guys."

With the 2016/17 tax year now fully underway and the Personal Savings Allowance beginning to bed in, you would be forgiven for thinking that good news in the form of new best buy accounts has fallen rather flat in recent weeks.
Whilst there are few new entrants to the best buy tables, the unfortunate trend of providers taking themselves out of the tables by lowering the rates on offer shows no sign of abating. However, there have been a small group of positive changes made by providers in the last few weeks.
Punjab National Bank now allows customers to apply for its range of market leading cash ISAs by post, rather than just in branch, making them available to far more savers in the UK as a result.
Coventry Building Society has increased the rate on offer on its Easy Access Saver, pushing the account to 2nd position in our Best Buy Table. Contrary to the general trend of providers cutting rates for existing account holders, those already holding the account benefitted from this change as well.
Finally, Saga has made a rare appearance in our Best Buy Tables, launching a 3 year fixed rate ISA that went straight into the top five accounts for the term. It may not be the best rate on the market, but nonetheless it is good to see a provider bucking the general trend.
Punjab National Bank now accepts postal applications on its cash ISA range, having previously restricted account opening to branch only. The rates on offer are market leading with the Variable Rate Cash ISA paying 1.65% tax free/AER, available to open with a minimum balance of £1. The Fixed Rate ISAs pay 1.75% tax free/AER for 1 year, 1.90% tax free/AER for 2 years, 2.30% tax free/AER for 3 years, 2.35% tax free/AER for 4 years and 2.50% tax free/AER for 5 years and can be opened with a minimum of £1,000. Each of the cash ISAs accept transfers in of previous cash ISAs.
Many savers were previously unable to apply for these accounts, with just seven branches, covering a limited area of the UK. With rates significantly higher than the competition, this is good news for those savers that are not near to a branch. To apply for an account, download an application form from the following link - https://www.pnbint.com/forms.aspx.
Coventry Building Society increased the interest rate on its Easy Access Saver from 1.15% to 1.30% gross/AER for both new and existing account holders. The account can be opened in branch, online, by post or by telephone, with a minimum of £1. There are no introductory bonuses or withdrawal restrictions.
As a result of the increase in interest rate, the account now sits in 2nd position in our Best Buy Table, behind RCI Bank's Freedom Savings Account, paying 1.45% gross/AER. It is also worth noting that at a time when many providers are cutting rates for existing accounts holders, Coventry Building Society has done the opposite, with those already holding the account benefiting from an increase that puts the rate at a more competitive level.
SAGA has launched a new 3 Year Fixed Rate ISA paying 1.80% tax free/AER that is only available to savers over 50 years old. Accounts can be opened online with a minimum of £1 and you are able to transfer previous ISAs into the account. Withdrawals from the account are allowed, subject to a penalty of 270 days' loss of interest in the first year, 180 days' loss of interest in the second year and 90 days' loss of interest in the final year.
Whilst you can get a better rate from Punjab National Bank (2.30% tax free/AER), it is good to see a well-known company enter the best buy tables. Whilst the account is restricted to those over 50 years old, this account could be a suitable alternative for this group of savers.
Latest savings rate rundown of the best rates in today's market
With the 2016/17 tax year now fully underway and the Personal Savings Allowance beginning to bed in, you would be forgiven for thinking that good news in the form of new best buy accounts has fallen rather flat in recent weeks.

European Youth Forum (YFJ)
The YFJ is made up of two pillars: the National Youth Councils of Europe (NYCs) and International Non-Governmental Youth Organisations (INGYOs).
It works with organisations like the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the European Union and National Governments whilst also running campaigns.
The YFJ is made up of a democratically elected board and a secretariat.
Council of Members (COMEM)
The Council of Members of YFJ meet every 6 months. The UK (via BYC) has one voting seat and one observer who vote on Policy Papers[1] and Resolutions[2], attend / host Thematic Squares[3] and hold the Board, Advisory Panel on Youth[4] and FCC[5] to account.
Every two years, there will be elections to the Advisory Panel on Youth, FCC and Board.
Work Plan
Every two years the YFJ decides upon the work plan: a document detailing the priorities and how it intends to achieve them.
The BBC+ is a cooperation of National Youth Councils that works closely together, meeting prior to COMEM to discuss policies and amendments, candidacies, sharing information and knowledge, supporting new members and offer general help.
Current Members are the National Youth Councils from the following Countries: UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, German Speaking Part of Belgian Youth Council, Flemish Youth Council, Belgium.
[1] Policy Papers: these are papers drafted by either the board, or working group, and detail the policy of the European Youth Forum. Any member present at COMEM can amend and vote on these papers.
[2] Resolutions: these papers ask for a mandate from the YFJ's members to take certain positions. These form the 'Opinion of YFJ' and are the positions the YFJ take when talking with the UN, CofE, EU, and National Governments.
[3] Thematic Squares: spaces where YFJ members can talk about certain issues, share skills and knowledge, and highlight important issues in Europe.
[4] Advisory Panel on Youth: this is a part of the Council of Europe that specifically deals with youth issues. The YFJ has a number of seats on the APY; these people represent the YFJ opinion in the CofE.
[5] FCC: the people who manage the finances of the YFJ.

The Delusion of Numbers and Time
Those who have watched the movie, Lucy should have seen the bigger picture of the capabilities of human if we could access more than 10% of the brain. However, the ending must have been the climax of the movie as that's when Lucy could finally achieved 100% of her brain.
What amazed most who watched the movie must have been the part where Lucy describes the delusion of numbers and how it was invented by us just to simplify the complexity of existence and also the part where she could manipulate time. Now listen to this idea concept that might make sense to you and persuade you to believe more of such a possibility.
The Delusion of Numbers
Since we were young, we were taught with ways to count. We solve harder mathematical problems as we grow older in hopes that our knowledge could help bring mankind forward. What if mathematics is a lie?
Let's take the simplest example. We all know that 1+1=2. Right? Now, so is 3-1 and 4-2. Both of these equations also equates to 2. Still don't get the picture? How about this, 4(2)+(-9)+3 also equals to 2. No matter how many numbers or how complex the equation is evolved, as long as you possess all possible mathematical knowledge you could equate it to 2 by modifying it. What does this tell us?
There is no definition to numbers. All these definitions comes from us. If we let the 6 billion population in the world to come out with the equation to obtain the number 2 without duplicating answers, we will get 6 billion different equations. If we do that to a population beyond 6 billion, we will get even more different equations. This goes on and on until we reach infinity.
Now that is a word worth discussing about. We use that term whenever we try to measure something that is infinite. Different people would see infinity differently. Some would say it is a very large number, some would say it goes on and on forever.
However, the real reason we have infinity is because there is no end to numbers. If there is no end to something, there would not have been a starting point. So if such, then there is no existent to that particular something. Infinity is just a word we rather use than the word undefined.
The Delusion of Time
Time is an entity we created just to measure the impossible. Just like why we created numbers. However with regards to time, you think you know a lot, but you don't.
Many of those who are interested in Science or Physics would have heard of the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein. In simple english, that theory simply explains in context of time that, a period of 5 minutes for example, could span out differently to different individuals.
Was there a time when you took a 30 minutes nap, but you could create a dream with a span longer than that? Or you simply dozed off for 5 minutes or less, yet able to get a dream which have you woke up and thought you slept for an entire hour. Yet within all these dreams, things seems to move at the usual speed. But why did you used less time for all of that to happen?
The ticking clock you see on your wall, does not represent time. It is a delusion that human created so we often runs around the clock. We chase time, yet there is no such a thing to chase. When you dream, you created time for yourself. You took the 30 minutes or 5 minutes you had and prolonged it to your liking. In your perspective alone, you had spent that period of time for so long as you have wished.
So if we were able to do that subconsciously, imagine doing it consciously.
Our Limitations
Perhaps, we limit ourselves to things that we know, and thus we created these numbers and concept of time to simplify what we don't yet know or understand. This could be a law that governs us, or a limitation that restricts us. Whatever it is, let's never see time and numbers the same as we always had. Always remember, these are all our creations, that are not much different from our figment of imagination.

Glanirva Bhavathi Bharatha,
Abhyuthanam Adharmaysya
Tadatmanam Srijami Aham'.
-Bhagavad Gita (Chapter IV-7)
"Whenever there is decay
of righteousness O! Bharatha
And a rise of unrighteousness
then I manifest Myself!"
Who is there to protect the righteousness now?You and me have to be awakened.Pls raise up and do visit http://freedomteam.in/blog/main
I intend to explore this cancerous rot in two parts. In Part- I will explain the legacy of the rot and its manifestations alongwith dangerous repercussions to the nation. In Part-2 I will dwell upon how and when it started and where we stand today.
What better way to explain this danger than seeing it through the eyes of someone from a different field. Here is what, a very very senior retired IAS officer, who knows what is the truth , has to say:-
by MG Devasahayam, IAS (Retd),29 March 2012.
Yet, neither the DoB issue is over yet, as is being wrongly believed, nor is the tenure of General VK Singh going to end in the next two months as is being widely claimed. The fact is that Supreme Court has put the ball back in the court of MoD by ruling: "As a matter of fact, the question before us in the Writ Petition is not about the determination of actual date of birth of the petitioner, but it concerns the recognition of a particular date of birth of the petitioner by the respondent (Government of India) in the official service record."
It is therefore imperative that the MoD has to first pass a legally speaking order 'recognising' Gen VK Singh's real DoB as per law and Rules that hold School Certificate as paramount. This has not been done and the retirement orders of Gen VK Singh have not been served on him till now. Yet MoD has nominated and named his successor (for whose benefit the entire conspiracy and manipulation took place) to take over as COAS on 31 May 2012.
This action is untenable and the real cause of the mess that MoD has got into and only they are to be blamed. Instead they are trying to pass it on to Gen VK Singh by insinuating that he is now a 'frustrated man' and is trying to rake up the Tatra bribery issue and leaking out his letter on 'defence preparedness' to PM to seek revenge. Some MPs, including congenitally corrupt ones, have asked for Gen VK Singh's summary dismissal and arrest without even holding an enquiry!
This way of portraying the serving chief of the Indian Army as an adversary just because he is fighting against corruption and injustice is wrought with serious danger and consequences. It is our Armed Forces who have defended and protected our democracy through their valour, sacrifice and total sense of patriotism, bereft of any political ambitions as in our neighbouring countries. It is largely because of them that India stands tall as a free and sovereign Republic. Among the armed forces, the Army is the largest and the most visible face. The chief of that force has a special status in the nation's affairs and he cannot be distinguished from the Institution he heads. When an institution like the Army is impaled, it is the people who bleed.
The politico-bureaucratic power coterie that is trying to bulldoze the Army Chief is very distressing. If the serving Army Chief is treated this way and these corrupt cabals have their final say at least for two generations, no military commander will raise his head. And the message for military commanders will be that it isn't merit, honesty or integrity that will get them promotions and tenures but pandering to the corrupt politico-bureaucratic cabal. The last bastion of professional meritocracy in India will crumble and the damage will be lasting.
This is an open war between the honest and the corrupt and cannot be countenanced in the interest of national security and integrity in governance. It is time people with conscience stood up and be counted.
I shall reproduce a write up from another colleague, who narrates an incident about the dimensions of the cancerous rot. Note how much is the infiltration of Arms dealers mafia into the army? It is now learnt that they had also orchestrated the DOB controversy by manipulating even with the MH Kirkee to show General VK's DOB as 1949. Their hold in the army is beyond one's imagination with pliable Generals and officers placed in all slots of decision making. Please also note how the voices of honesty and integrity are stiffled and silenced.
It is NOT that honest men were NOT there in the army but their breed is becoming extinct by a process of 'honesty cleansing', right from the ranks of Colonels and Brigadiers. You heard of the SUCCESSION PLAN of ARMY CHIEFS worked out in 2005. It is the part of that HONESTY CLEANSING process initiated by the Arms dealer-cartel. Promotions, postings, procurements, purchases----everything is manipulated. Such is the influence of cartel that VK called it cancer. Read this piece by Brigadier Nawab Heer retired:-
"--------I WILL SHARE A SMALL INCIDENT TO WHICH I AM WITNESS.IN 2004, WHEN I WAS SERVING IN AHQ, A COLLEGUE OF MINE, A BRIG (Brigadier), WAS POSTED IN MGO (Master General Ordanance) BR (Branch). HE WAS IN PROCUREMENT SECTION. VCOAS (Vice Chief of Army Staff) WAS CHAIRING THE CONF (Conference) IN MGO BR(Branch). THE CASE OF PURCHASE OF ADDL (additional) 3000 TATRAS WAS BEING DISCUSSED. ALL HEADS OF ARMS AND SERVICES WERE THERE. EVERYONE SUPPORTED REPEAT ORDER WITH VECTRAS FOR 1.10 CR A TATRA. BRIG(Brigadier) FRIEND WHO HAD JUST JOINED MGO AS DDG ( deputy director General) ASKED JUSTIFICATION WHEN ANOTHER FIRM WAS PROVIDING US 60 LAKHS A PIECE. VECTRAS HAD PROMISED TRANSFER OF TECH (technology). BUT NEVER DID. A NEW FIRM WAS READY FOR TFR (Transfer) OF TECH ( technology).STATE WAS SAVING A LOT. NO ONE SUPPORTED HIM.MGO TRIED TO GIVE HIM SHUT UP CALL. HE TOLD THAT HIS DISAGREEMENT MAY BE RECORDED.(The) BRIG WAS POSTED OUT OF MGO BR NEXT DAY TO SIDE LINED DTE (Directorate) .IT IS( an) OLD STORY. MOD AND AHQ IS THICK WITH MUD. (NO) HOPE ONE CHIEF CAN DO SOMETHING.----------------------------" Brigadier Nwab Heer (Veteran) ------ firstname.lastname@example.com
How did it happen? Here is how it happened. Brigadier RS Chhikara (Veteran) writes, I quote:-
"----------- Over the past two decades or more, there has been palpable sense of concern at the way the nation's civilian leadership has been conducting affairs of state security. There has been an even greater concern on how political and bureaucratic meddling had impacted the process of selection and appointments in higher echelons of military hierarchy. Senior officers started placing their personal career prospects above national or institutional interests. They would prefer to keep quiet rather than speak up for the service, lest the masters get upset. They would like to be seen as being more concerned about savings in defence spending overlooking non availability of essential armaments, housing and training infrastructure. They started kow- towing with the bureaucrats in matters of deployment in aid to civil authority at the expense of training for war. All this, to cover up serious political- bureaucratic mismanagement. Whenever there was a conflict of opinion, CYA ( Cover Your Ass) became the preferred option. Senior defense officers ceased to be professionals and became careerists.
Over time, they had recognized the wisdom of obfuscation, seeking political patronage, even backstabbing colleagues if there was a chance to garner a smile from the bureaucrat or politician. Inter service and inter departmental rivalries were encouraged by the masters and were enthusiastically lapped up. Healthy inter service and peer rivalry yielded to outright hostility. Individual service interest started overshadowing national interest. They forgot that a weaker Army or Air force will not contribute to victory of the other. They forgot that their spaces were not mutually exclusive. They also forgot that the defence forces needed to fight war as a composite mutually supporting force. Promoting interests of Artillery over Armoured corps or of fighter pilots over technical services can only be self defeating.
They were now used to playing games at each other's cost leaving the political bureaucratic combine to promote their sectional interests at the cost of those of the forces or of the nation itself. They started to be seen as abdicating responsibility towards the nation's defence and the soldier' well being. Chiefs shied away from protecting post retirement interest of the soldier. They were told it was not their business and they fell silent. They forgot that a serving soldier today is an ex- serviceman of tomorrow and with today's awareness levels he is not blind to these issues.
This phenomenon has been going on for over two decades. No wonder, senior officers were now looking at a flat in Adarsh, or a little bribe at Sukhna or a gubernatorial post on retirement. No wonder they left the matter of defence preparedness to politicians and bureaucrats. No wonder they allowed a soldier to be placed below a peon in governmental hierarchy. This is what has indeed effected the morale of the soldier, sailor and airman very adversely. ---------------"

Mapping the Way to the Next Generation of Grapes
VitisGen2 is a large, multi-disciplinary, collaborative project focused on decreasing the time, effort and cost involved in developing the next generation of grapes. The project incorporates cutting edge genomics technology and socioeconomic research into the traditional grape breeding and evaluation process. This will speed up the ability to identify important genes related consumer-valued traits like disease resistance, low temperature tolerance and enhanced fruit quality. Identifying these genes will help grape breeding programs from around the world to more rapidly develop new grape varieties that will appeal to a wide range of consumers, while addressing grower and producer needs. Additionally, the scientific resources developed during the project will allow scientists and breeders to address other issues and needs that have regional significance, like salinity or drought tolerance.
To learn more about VitisGen2, visit our project vision & goals page.
VitisGen2 is a continuation of some of the research priorities and projects that were addressed in the first VitisGen collaborative. To learn about the the original project, visit the archived VitisGen webpage.

Daniel Sturridge left West Bromwich Albion's 3-0 defeat away at Chelsea on Monday with a hamstring injury but manager Alan Pardew does not believe the on-loan striker will miss significant time.
Sturridge, who joined West Brom on loan from Liverpool in January, left the game after just three minutes because of the injury and was replaced by Jay Rodriguez.
Pardew said that the striker is likely to be unavailable for the FA Cup game against Southampton on Saturday .
"We are hoping it is not that bad," Pardew told Sky Sports after the game. "It happened very early in the game, but we don't think it is a tear. It seems to be a strain, which will probably keep him out of the FA Cup game. Hopefully, fingers crossed, in a couple of weeks, he'll be OK."
The 28-year-old has been hoping to be able to use the loan spell to get additional playing time and be part of the conversation as Gareth Southgate, who was in attendance at Stamford Bridge, chooses his squad for the World Cup in Russia this summer.
"[Sturridge] was distraught," Pardew said at a postgame news conference. "The way he's worked at our place has been of the highest order. He's absolutely devastated because he wants this period to be a success for himself and for West Brom."
Pardew considered the signing a "coup" — West Brom agreed to pay a £2 million fee as well as the player's wages of £120,000 a week, sources told ESPN FC — after Sturridge made just nine Premier League appearances, with five starts, for Liverpool this season.
It was his third appearance for West Brom since the move and his second start after he played all 90 minutes of a 3-2 defeat at home against Southampton on Feb. 3.
"In training he was really sharp," Pardew said. "Not many strikers can score goals like he can from tight areas, as Hazard did. It might have made the difference. I know this place very well, and we needed to take one of those chances.
"We knew Chelsea were slightly wounded, so we put high pressure on them, took some risks in terms of our set-up hoping to get an early chance. We have got to win games, and score the goals to win games. We have got to hope Daniel's injury isn't too bad."

Nails, Life, and more nails. Not so much a nail polish obsession, but more of a nail care obsession.
Nail Hardeners and Treatments

Stroking the bottle
Looks fine right? Sort of?!
But I want this magic! Why won't it translate to the nail?!
If the light hits it just right, I definitely get some sparkle, but nowhere near the magnificent display I see stuck to the bottle wall.
Don't get me wrong. It's a great polish. Actually, so great I wore it two times in a row ... well maybe that was because it chipped so easily it needed reapplication. Also, I just hadn't come to terms with the inevitable.
At the end of the day, this is one of those polishes I will pick up, stroke, and marvel at the beauty in the bottle. I will be glad I have it, but secretly hope it would do more with its life.
EDIT: OMG! Olivia went there... check out her comment below and then watch the video.
That's exactly how it will go, hahahaha.

This happens too often with creme polishes with fine shimmer that stupidly clings to the bottle. it would be so awesome if someone could make it do the same thing on the nailReplyDelete
So sad!! Such a pretty polish!ReplyDelete
I so hate when that happens! So pretty in the bottle but not so much on the nail. Have to admit, I was anticipating that you had a magic idea to fix this problem!ReplyDelete
You're right, it's a pity that the beautiful shimmer doesn't transfer on nails :-(ReplyDelete
So annoying when a polish doesn't live up to bottle promise. Still a pretty colour though...ReplyDelete
It's a shame it turned out this way. It's really a super gorgeous polish too! There's nothing more disappointing than encountering a shade of your dreams in the bottle and then having it flop on your nail :(ReplyDelete
Awwwww man! I have this color and was eyeing it recently since it has such gorgeous shimmer. Maybe if I bought one of those gigantor paint shaker things they have at home improvement stores? Or hiring a very muscular man to shake that baby for a few hours/days. Maybe strapping it to a runaway horse.....ReplyDelete
My attempt at ridiculous polish humor fails. Although the paint shaker machine could be alot of fun. Ya know, before the possible explosion. ;)
I hate this feeling. So so disappointing...ReplyDelete
I saw a manicure on a blog using this polish and IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE IT. It looked SO stunning - they somehow managed to get the magic out of the bottle! I ran to Walmart the next day but was heartbroken because their Pure Ice display is always a pure mess (no matter what store I go to) and I couldn't find it anywhere. Took me almost a month of searching.. so not worth the time, effort, and longing. What a let down this one was!ReplyDelete
As a fine-shimmer lover myself, I hate when that happens. After all, you spent your money to get the effect you saw in the bottle, not to stare at it like an idiot wondering where all the awesomeness went to or if for some reason you forgot to apply polish the proper way overnight.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 30, 2012 at 3:36 PM
I had the same issue recently with the new Essences. Soooo pretty in the bottle, but only in super bright sunlight did even a bare hint of the gorgeous shimmer shine through. Ergh!!!! (*shakes fist at invisible shimmer*)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 30, 2012 at 3:53 PM
I fell victim to this same polish and had the same dissapointment :(ReplyDelete
So I am guessing this is what your will be doing with that polish (youtube video):ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 30, 2012 at 8:23 PM
your nails look gorg!ReplyDelete
I just want to tell you that I adore your blog, your taste in polish, your gorgeous nails & your fabulous sense of humor & sense!!ReplyDelete
Aw that is very sad :( the bottle looks amazing. But it looks amazing on your nails anywayReplyDelete
OK, your title made me giggle...yes, I am bad...But as to the polish, I have drooled over that particular polish and have not bought it because SO many Pure Ice polishes have disappointed! Now I am glad I didn't give in to the lure of the shimmer....ReplyDelete
This very same polish also gave me the sads lolReplyDelete
I do not have this polish, but it reminds me of Piu Mosso and my great sad with that :(ReplyDelete
I'll just smile and stroke my two bottles of Color Club Wild at Heart, which is MORE amazing on the nail than in the bottle. I have it on right now and it makes my brain happy.;ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 at 6:23 PM
Solution. Get a cheap bottle of clear polish, pour out half. Start pouring some of the Purple Reign into it, add it slowly and swatch often until it looks like it does in the bottle only in your swatch. Enjoy. :)ReplyDelete
lovely color dollReplyDelete
SO been there Anna! Bummer dude...it is awfully pretty in the bottle!! I hate when that happens :SReplyDelete
Ugh, yeah I hate when that happens. Barry M Black Multi Glitter is exactly the same, stonking gorgeous in the bottle but falls totally flat on the nail :(ReplyDelete
I've had success with some polishes dabbing the last layer on with a cosmetic sponge before top coat to bring out hidden shimmer.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Coz I'm crazy like that - I've sat a naughty bottle on the paint shaker at a hardware store before. They let me, since I'm a regular visitor. Not in, because the bottles are too small. But we figured out how to clip them on the top and it shakes 'em.ReplyDelete
It does remix any indies that start to seperate the color out because they got way too cold.
It does not however remix glitter into suspension. And if it's stuck to the sides, nope. Boo hiss.

Circus comes to town
Melbourne's thriving arts and cultural scene made it the natural choice as the Asia-Pacific headquarters of world renowned circus company Cirque du Soleil, its marketing vice-president said today.
The circus' tour operations and logistics for shows going to Singapore, South Korea, China and elsewhere in the region will be coordinated from the new office, the company announced today.
The hugely successful circus, based in Montreal, Canada, has entertained more than 40 million people in 120 cities since it started in 1984.
The Melbourne initiative will create eight full-time jobs and 150 temporary positions when the circus tours Australia.
Cirque du Soleil's marketing vice-president Mario D'Amico said the company, which employs 2,500 people, had enjoyed a "love affair" with Australia since it first visited the country in 1999.
"It obviously came quite naturally to us to choose Australia and the city of Melbourne, particularly, as our hub for Asia-Pacific," Mr D'Amico said.
"Melbourne and its long tradition as a patron of artistic and cultural activities made it the ideal candidate."
Victorian State and Regional Development Minister John Brumby welcomed today's announcement.
"Having a permanent headquarters for Cirque du Soleil in Melbourne is great news for Victoria as it underscores the fact we have one of the most thriving circus arts cultures in the world," Mr Brumby said.
Cirque Du Soleil also today unveiled a 12-month Australia and New Zealand tour, opening in Sydney on August 12.
It will also visit Brisbane, Auckland, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Campus Apartments, one of the nation's largest providers of on- and off-campus student housing, announces today a development project with University of the Sciences that will begin to replace the University's on-campus housing stock and help to bring new life to Woodland Avenue in the University City section of Philadelphia. The new 128,000-square-foot live-learn facility, located at 46th St. and Woodland Ave., will accommodate approximately 400 students and will include generous social, study, classroom and programming spaces, as well as ground floor retail space. The estimated $50 million development of the new residence hall marks the start of a multi-phase effort to improve facilities across the entire University over the next several years.
Slated for completion by August 2018, the project will deliver an on-campus residential facility to begin replacing the available housing at the University. The six-story building will include two-person semi-suites designed to serve the University's first-year student population, two staff apartments, as well as 16,000 square feet of communal social and study lounges. The live-learn facility will feature 5,000 square feet of classroom space and new Resident Life office space for the University. In addition to University facilities, the building will include two ground floor retail spaces (2,700 square feet) along Woodland Avenue and a publicly accessible open courtyard. The building will incorporate numerous sustainable features to achieve Green Globe certification.
"The new first-year residence hall is the first of a multi-phase effort to improve the quality of our housing and learning facilities to enhance interaction and collaboration at the University and to attract more students to our institution," said Dan Severino, Director of Facilities at University of the Sciences. "Through this project, we also strive to energize this corridor of Woodland Avenue and further integrate our campus and University with our neighboring community. The retail and public space will create a new hub within the community, which will benefit the neighborhood for years to come."
The live-learn facility will be located on the site of the former Alexander Wilson Elementary School, which the University bought from the Philadelphia School District in 2014. Replacing the vacant structure, the new University development will provide the local community with new stores and meeting and green space, in addition to streetscape repairs and lighting. The University will also offer community-driven programming.
"This project will transform an underutilized site into a vibrant corridor by creating modern facilities for students to live and learn, and new retail and programming spaces for the local community," said Daniel Bernstein, President and Chief Investment Officer at Campus Apartments. "The University's long-term commitment to enhancing its campus will help attract and retain the best and brightest students. University of the Sciences is a great partner, and we're excited to bring this new facility to students, university staff and community members in our hometown."
Campus Apartments was awarded the residence project after a competitive RFP process. Campus Apartments and the University partnered with architect Design Collective and general contractor Torcon Construction for this development. Construction is set to begin in January 2017.

This should be a no brainer
Md. Boy, 12, Kills Man Attacking Mother
The 12-year-old boy had finished his homework and was playing a video game when he heard his mother cry out. Rushing to her aid, he found her on the kitchen floor, straddled by a fellow resident of their Prince George's County boarding house, the man's hands wrapped tightly around her neck, the boy said yesterday.
"I kept saying, 'Stop! Stop! Stop!' " the boy said, describing the events of Monday night. "But he just ignored me. He didn't stop. He just kept hurting her."
The boy said he grabbed a knife and swung, slashing 64-year-old Salomon Noubissie across the neck and opening an artery. Noubissie was fatally wounded.
The mother, Cheryl Stamp, said she did not immediately understand what had happened. "What did you do?" she said she asked her son.
"He didn't say anything," she said. "But I knew when I looked in his eyes. I said, 'Oh, Lord.' "
Law enforcement officials were reviewing evidence yesterday and had not decided whether to file charges. Their preliminary account of the incident broadly matches that of the boy and his mother.
File charges? They should give him a medal!

Who are the Brethren?
The Brethren movement has had an influence on Protestant evangelicalism that is out of all proportion to its size. This is because of the zealous spirituality of its members, its conservatism in theology, and the participation of many of its members in para-church institutions. They represent an expression of lay piety which has recurred in Christian history, with theirs originating in the early nineteenth century among radical evangelicals (for more on the history click here). They have been called by Professor D. W. Bebbington 'evangelicals of the evangelicals'.
The most common names by which the Brethren movement is known are Plymouth Brethren, Christian Brethren, or just simply, Brethren [Note: they are distinct from the various Mennonite groups who also use the name 'Brethren']. Historically the Christians who make up Brethren churches (or 'assemblies' as they are most usually called) resisted taking an official name and even establishing any official headquarters or denominational institutions. The Brethren have, in fact remained a movement - churches which share the same tendencies and currents of thought. So although they have a distinctive family likeness, all the names by which they are called have an unofficial status only. To further complicate matters, the movement has suffered a number of schisms throughout its history and there are several types of Brethren. For example, there is one group, the Churches of God, who are the exception to the preceding statements: they have an official name and a denominational structure; one Exclusive Brethren connexion has also adopted a formal name - the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.
All forms of Brethren are evangelical Christians and subscribe to the four distinguishing marks of an evangelical as defined by Prof. D.W. Bebbington (in Evangelicalism in Modern Britain, 1989):
In addition, all forms of Brethren are distinguished by the following:
The name 'Brethren' was applied to those within the movement because of their habit of referring to each other as 'brother' or 'sister'. It being the nineteenth century, the archaic plural of the King James Version, 'Brethren', was the name that quickly stuck with them. Most members of the movement have been happy enough to accept it as an unofficial designation as it captures the closeness of their fellowship. Not all will accept the name, however, as some argue it sets them apart as a division within Christianity, and others (often younger members) will not use the name because of what they perceive as its old-fashioned and negative connotations. Those who think like these last two groups are more likely to call themselves simply Christians, or sometimes, if pressed for a label, evangelicals.
One widely-publicized section of the movement is known as the Exclusive Brethren or the Close Brethren, which has itself divided into several mutually excluding groups. The group you are most likely hear about from the news media is the section which since 2012 has called itself 'The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church'. However, the most widespread section of the Brethren movement is the one commonly called the Open Brethren. They were originally given this name because they welcomed all Christians to their communion service. They are present in some 200 countries throughout the world due to a vigorous missionary programme and its members are the people you are most likely to encounter personally. In Britain the Open Brethren will often use the newer term 'Christian Brethren', but the practice in North America is to continue to use the more traditional 'Plymouth Brethren' as a blanket term. Needless to say, these different sections of Brethren are entirely independent of each other, which has led one noted historian of the movement, Dr H. H. Rowdon, to question how useful it to discuss them as a whole.
The following differences between the different streams of Brethren should also be noted:
Table showing differences and similarities among the different streams of Brethren:
As will be clear from the above, because the Brethren have remained a movement and because the different sections have had over 100 years of separate and independent evolution, one of their features is their variety, making it difficult to give a simple answer to the question 'Who are the Brethren?'. The answer to the question will often depend on to whom you are talking.

Once your site is up, traffic is coming in and you are seeing those affiliates turn from zeros into real numbers life is going to feel pretty good. After all you represent a small percentage of affiliates who will ever receive a commission check for what they have done. Congratulations! You're on your way to becoming a successful affiliate marketer and it's time to put your business into growth mode.
When you have successfully launched your site with the right design, base content and keyword strategy it is time to plan out an 'update timeline' and implement a content management system (CMS). Keeping yourself on schedule will force you to start current with the market by looking for news and promotions that is relevant to your site. I have always felt RSS Feeds are a great way to get a quick snapshot of what's new on the sites you find most influential. Also you can register to receive new blog information, like the PAP Blog, directly to your own Google start page at www.google.com/ig
A lot of webmasters start with a 'What's New' section or current news as a way to keep visitors informed on current trends. This is a good addition if you make the effort to keep up to date personally and not solely rely on an RSS feed plugged directly into to your site to deliver all content. I would suggest reading yourself and then summarizing the news into your own words, with relevant links, and direct visitors to places where they can read a review and register for a new program. Dating these entries is a great idea as well so visitors can see the new promotions are current and not outdated. Sending people to expired landing pages will hurt your credibility and kill conversions.
Another feature that is very useful is adding a way for your repeat visitors to have feedback with you as a webmaster. Placing a 'was this page helpful' tool is a great way to get a quick snapshot of what users feel is beneficial and what may be a waste of space. Again, pointing visitors towards registering a new poker room account is the goal. Don't lead them to another sight by directing them to irrelevant content on your pages. Acquiring email address is also a nice way to build a good customer case. Make sure your newsletters are informative and not just HTML spam letters and creatives.
When you have been running for a week or so it's time to get Google Analytics added to your site. It's a free service that will show you where your traffic is coming from and what they are doing once they log onto the site. Also keep an eye on what your competitors are doing, what content they are adding where they rank in search engines. Research their backlinks and see what you think is working for them. Joining a forum can also help you source new resources and tips on gaining traffic and aiding conversions.
Most importantly, be a student of what you are promoting. I am not encouraging people to gamble, but playing a game or two of poker on the sites you are promoting is a great way to get a real feel of what you are 'selling' and will help you create unique content and reviews. If you don't want to spend money then look for a freeroll or play money game and get some screenshots. Adding a personal touch goes a long ways when presenting unbiased sales driven copy to your visitors.

It's time to switch sides, to utilize Assad and his government as a means to defeat the Islamic State, and to cooperate with Russia to do it. How do you do that without being seen to renounce the prior policy?
John Kerry formulated it this way – Assad's removal "doesn't have to be on day one or month one or whatever". "[W]e're not being doctrinaire about the specific date or time," Kerry said.
This is rhetorical prelude to what's become increasingly obvious – defeating ISIS without Assad may be impractical or impossible. Moreover, it may be undesirable to destroy Assad's government, even if it were possible.
We've learned the hard way the chaos that resulted from destroying the Iraqi army, the Iraqi government, and the general de-Bathification. In hindsight, that's how we won the war and lost the peace. We should not repeat that mistake in Syria. We dare not destroy the institutions of government that hold a country together and make social order possible.
We should switch sides, work with the Russians, accept that we many need to retain Assad, for now, and ultimately seek to re-make the Assad government at a later stage. Kerry's new formulation may be the first step along that road.

I've used this recipe for several Spice House functions, and we always get requests for the recipe. The secret is the layering of different ginger flavors. They're spicy, but so delicious! Ginger is very good as a digestive aid and natural cure for nausea and other ailments.
2-3 dozen depending on size
Mix the first six dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk together and add the ginger nibs.
Cream the butter with the vegetable shortening. Add the egg and molasses. Combine well. Add the fresh ginger juice now, if using.
Add the dry flour mixture. Do not overmix. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350.
Butter baking sheets. Form balls with the dough, using the palms of your hands. A melon baller will make bite-sized cookies. Roll the cookie dough balls in ginger sugar, or regular white sugar. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool on baking sheet 1 minute, then transfer to wire racks to cool. The cookies will crack on top while cooling (as good ginger snaps should).
These cookies can be made ahead and frozen. They store well for a week in an airtight container. They get even better the second day!
You can make your own ginger sugar by chopping up fresh ginger and tossing it in a bag with white sugar. Let the sugar absorb the ginger before picking out the ginger pieces or sifting them out.
A garlic press works great to juice fresh ginger. Cut the pieces to fit the press and juice them over a small bowl. Be careful to clean it well to make sure there isn't any garlic flavor mixing in with the ginger juice.
