A facebook friend of mine organises a Paperartsy fan group and a birthday card club. So I made some more for the stash!
I started with some ATC'S… yes I know you are all probably fed up with my ATC obsession but never mind … that's where I started.
Once again these are cut up scratch paper that are my go to stash for the starting point. It makes it so easy to just get on with adding pattern as there is already a layer of colour there.
Next I grabbed the new Lin Brown stamps from Paperartsy and added some background stamped pattern using archival ink and fresco finish paints.
Next texture added … this time through the Dot Fade stencil that is always one of my favourites. One them I added some pink Borganvillia paint to the paste the other I kept clear. Also added in a little more stamping using a Hot Picks stamp.
Now for the focal image. I wanted to use the lovely leaf stamps from the Lin Brown set but decided to use fabric rather than paper to stamp onto.
Love the texture and the detail in these stamps is wonderful.
I used Satin glaze to adhere them to the ATC'S and give the whole pieces a nice finish.
And then out came the pens for some doodling and to adhere them onto some brown mounts.
Now to turn them into card toppers.
I added the die cut sentiment and then added some dry brushed paint to 'grunge' it up a bit. I then inked through a stencil onto the card blank to add to that too.
Kept this one fairly similar but added the blue outlining and doodling to link the sentiment stamp to the topper.
Love how these both came out and hopefully they will be appreciated when they are finally sent out to their recipients.
Happy crafting!

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 8, 2012) - Africa Oil Corp. - (TSX VENTURE:AOI)(OMX:AOI) -
Africa Oil Corp. ("Africa Oil" or the "Company") reports that the Horn Petroleum Corporation ("Horn Petroleum") private placement announced on May 22, 2012 has closed. Horn Petroleum sold on a non-brokered private placement basis an aggregate of 18.75 million units at a price of $0.80 per unit for gross proceeds of $15 million. The private placement has received regulatory approval and the securities have been issued to the investors.
Each unit was comprised of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable over a period of two years at a price of $1.20 per share. If Horn Petroleum common shares trade at or above $1.50 for a period of 30 consecutive days, a forced exercise provision will come into effect. A 5% finder's fee is payable in either cash or units on a portion of the private placement.
Net proceeds of the private placement will be used towards Horn Petroleum's ongoing work program in Puntland, Somalia and for general working capital purposes. Shares issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a four month hold period expiring on October 9, 2012. Shares issued to finders will be subject to a hold period expiring four months from the date of issue. Horn Petroleum will make commercially reasonable efforts to have the warrants posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange after the expiry of the hold period.
Africa Oil Corp. is a Canadian oil and gas company with assets in Kenya, Ethiopia and Mali as well as Puntland (Somalia) through its 51% equity interest in Horn Petroleum Corporation. Africa Oil's East African holdings are in within a world-class exploration play fairway with a total gross land package in this prolific region in excess of 300,000 square kilometers. The East African Rift Basin system is one of the last of the great rift basins to be explored. New discoveries have been announced on all sides of Africa Oil's virtually unexplored land position including the major Albert Graben oil discovery in neighbouring Uganda. Similar to the Albert Graben play model, Africa Oil's concessions have older wells, a legacy database, and host numerous oil seeps indicating a proven petroleum system. Good quality existing seismic show robust leads and prospects throughout Africa Oil's project areas. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and on First North at NASDAQ OMX-Stockholm under the symbol "AOI".

Modeling Session: Think Aloud
The modeling session was designed to collect PPM instances of students creating formal process model using BPMN from an informal description. The participants were asked to model a process describing the handling of a mortgage request by a bank. The process models contained the basic control flow patterns: sequence, parallel split, synchronization, exclusive choice, and simple merge.
For this modeling session, the modelers were asked to verbalize their thoughts, i.e., to think aloud. The modelling sessions were video taped in order to collect the verbal utterance of the participants. The video camera was positioned to record the computer screen to enrich the verbal protocols with information on the interactions with the modelling environment.

Do you know Icelandic band Sigur Ros? Their sound is ethereal. I imagine auroras would sing like that if they had sound. Icelandic culture has been Americanized, but Sigur Ros stays close to their original culture.
"Heima" means both "homeland" and "at home." Heima is the filmed record of Sigur Ros' concerts around their homeland in various locations including deserted fishing village, small country community hall, and so on. 99 percent of Sigur Ros' fans don't know what Iceland is like, so this is the chance to see.
See the Heima trailer. (group image via here)

Bravo boss Andy Cohen is one of the few people on this Earth who possesses the power to put a Real Housewife in her place -- and Wednesday's Watch What Happens Live illustrated this point perfectly. After a particularly cringey episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna kept referring to their gay friends as "my gays," Cohen felt the need to speak up. And thank goodness he did, because ZOMG their antics were ridiculous!
Here's Cohen's "teachable moment," along with a clip of Lisa and Kyle dropping "my gays" like it's going out of style:
Love that Andy both addressed this issue and did it with class and a sense of humor. (And side note: I love how LuAnn then referred to her gay friends as "my boys" in an effort to not offend. Smooth move, Countess.)
After Cohen and his guest Lance Bass schooled the RHOBH ladies, Lisa Rinna quickly tweeted out an apology, writing:
@Andy I've been read. I hear you Big Daddy ð���— lisa rinna (@lisarinna) February 4, 2015
Lisa Vanderpump and Eileen Davidson weighed in on Twitter as well, taking Andy's side. Lisa likened saying "my gays" to saying "my pets," and Eileen said, "Our gays are just our friends who happen to be gay." Fellow Housewives star Melissa Gorga also chimed in with:
I feel like I have "my gays" too!! â�¤ï¸ï¿½â�¤ï¸ï¿½ð��� @Andy @BravoWWHL— Melissa Gorga (@melissagorga) February 4, 2015
Ummm ...
Anyway, as of now, Kyle is yet to issue any sort of apology for talking about her gay friends like they're some sort of group of screaming fans who have nothing better to do but follow her around, but I'm assuming one will be coming soon.
Like I said, if anyone can bring a Housewife to her knees, it's Andy Cohen. You tell 'em, Big Daddy.
What did you think of all the "my gays" talk on RHOBH?

The people of Okinawa, an island southwest of Japan's main landmass, are known for living longer than other people. No, they haven't discovered the fountain of youth, but here are 9 things which characterise their way of life and have helped them live longer:
1. Embrace an ikigai.
An ikigai is one's reason for being, or one's purpose in life. Older Okinawans can readily articulate the reason they get up in the morning. Their purpose-imbued lives gives them clear roles of responsibility and feelings of being needed well into their 100s.
2. Rely on a plant-based diet.
Older Okinawans have eaten a plant-based diet most of their lives. Their meals of stir-fried vegetables, sweet potatoes, and tofu are high in nutrients and low in calories. Goya, with its antioxidants and compounds that lower blood sugar, is of particular interest. While centenarian Okinawans do eat some pork, it's traditionally reserved only for infrequent ceremonial occasions and taken only in small amounts.
3. Get gardening.
Almost all Okinawan centenarians grow or once grew a garden. It's a source of daily physical activity that exercises the body with a wide range of motion and helps reduce stress. It's also a near-constant source of fresh vegetables.
4. Eat more soy.
The Okinawan diet is rich foods made with soy, like tofu and miso soup. Flavonoids in tofu may help protect the heart and guard against breast cancer. Fermented soy foods contribute to a healthy intestinal ecology and offer even better nutritional benefits.
5. Maintain a moai.
The Okinawan tradition of forming amoai, or a gathering of people, provides secure social networks. These safety nets lend financial and emotional support in times of need and give all of their members the stress-shedding security of knowing that there is always someone there for them.
6. Enjoy the sunshine.
Vitamin D, produced by the body when it's exposed on a regular basis to sunlight, promotes stronger bones and healthier bodies. Spending time outside each day allows even senior Okinawans to have optimal vitamin D levels year-round.
7. Stay active.
Older Okinawans are active walkers and gardeners. The Okinawan household has very little furniture; residents take meals and relax sitting on tatami mats on the floor. The fact that old people get up and down off the floor several dozen times daily builds lower body strength and balance, which help protect against dangerous falls.
8. Plant a medical garden.
Mugwort, ginger, and turmeric are all staples of an Okinawan garden, and all have proven medicinal qualities. By consuming these every day, Okinawans may be protecting themselves against illness.
9. Have an attitude.
A hardship-tempered attitude has endowed Okinawans with an affable smugness. They're able to let difficult early years remain in the past while they enjoy today's simple pleasures. They've learned to be likable and to keep younger people in their company well into their old age.

Rebooting Your Body's System Through Dieting
The majority of us at one point have considered going on a diet for different reasons. Dieting is even considered one of the top New Year's resolutions that people make to make their lives better. Working on becoming healthier should ideally be the end in mind, but this is not what's really highlighted when we talk about dieting. In fact, diet methods continue to market their approach by highlighting the amount of weight you will lose if you try their diet technique. It doesn't focus on the getting healthy part, but rather, it highlights the shedding off of extra pounds.
The majority of people who are on a diet would say that they are doing it because they feel the need to shed off some extra pounds. In this case, the health benefits of going on a diet is put in the back seat as losing weight is really the main priority. There's nothing really wrong about this, in fact, if you start to lose weight most of the time you are also protecting your overall health.
Highlighting the benefits of diet for health reasons should always be the approach when thinking of going on a diet. There are a handful of health benefits that you can get when you discipline your body to go on a diet. With the right kind of food, you are allowing your body to store more energy to work around more. By cutting back on the unhealthy foods and increasing your intake of good, quality sustenance, you are also allowing your energy level to skyrocket. With higher energy, you will no longer feel lethargic and this will further improve your health. Your heart rate and blood pressure should also be the main reasons why go on a diet. By taking good nourishment, you are also removing the negative toxins from your body.
Considered as one of the best weight loss cleanse program, detoxing has been used to improve overall health. This approach in dieting is not only intended to aid in removing extra pounds, as it also promotes overall wellness. Through detoxing, your body will flush out all the unhealthy things you have taken in and will sweep your digestive system to help with your metabolism. Other best weight loss cleanse programs are best carried out with the help of supplements to easily replace the flushed out minerals and vitamins.
Dieting should always have your health as its main priority instead of simply shedding off those extra pounds. The effect of a healthy diet should be loss of weight, which is accomplished through healthier means. It would be beneficial that by the next you plan to go on a diet, that you condition your mind that you are doing it to become healthier and weight loss will follow.

Filing for Bankruptcy
Filing for bankruptcy might seem like a simple solution to digging yourself out of debt, but it can have serious repercussions.
Filing for bankruptcy means that you have decided that you will never be able to pay your debts and instead you have decided to submit yourself to the protection of the state.
Not only will filing for bankruptcy result in a terrible credit rating which will tarnish your credit history for years, it will also usually result in the liquidation of most of your assets to provide a means of repayment for your lenders.
The Procedure:
- A person or business may voluntarily assign himself into bankruptcy or may be petitioned into bankruptcy by his creditors.
- The petition is filed along with an alphabetical list of all creditors and their addresses with the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court
- The court then appoints a trustee who will oversee your case with your creditors
- When filing for bankruptcy individuals will need to present all the information pertaining to their property and debts.
- The person filing for bankruptcy must also file a written statement of all property to be surrendered to secured creditors
- A written statement must also be compiled detailing secured debts to be reaffirmed and paid after the bankruptcy
Filing for bankruptcy should be a last resort in terms of dealing with debt. There are many other options that you can exercise before you turn to bankruptcy.
Alternatives to Filing for Bankruptcy:
- Cut down on spending and reorganize your budget
- If you are out of work take advantage of unemployment insurance and public assistance programs
- Try to liquidate any assets you have to obtain money to make payments on your debt
- Restructure your debts so that they are more manageable (this might involve calling creditors and lenders to renegotiate interest rates and payment schedules)
- Hire a credit counselor to help you gain control of your finances
Filing for bankruptcy isn't the end of your financial worries, in fact it's just the beginning. Because bankruptcy can sit like a festering wound on your credit history for anywhere between seven and ten years, it is important to do everything within your power to avoid it.

Since mid-February, I've been going to my kids' gym to work on learning the USA Gymnastics Level 5 floor exercise routine. Every evening that I go, I come home hurting. But last night, I hurt myself.
I haven't been in a few weeks because I've had other obligations. Last night, however, I had the opportunity and energy to go. So I did.
It was more playful than it has been in a while. There are some new people coming and learning, and they're a lot of fun. Some of the other staff members have been hanging around more because, let's face it, the new people are good-looking guys in their mid-twenties and the staff members are single females. The two coaches leading the sessions are starting to warm to me - I'm no longer just one of the moms but am now one of the adult gymnasts as well. It's a nice feeling.
Anyway, I took a more relaxed attitude towards the evening, working on a little of this, a little of that, moving from a routine dance-through to working on back extension rolls to a few tumbling runs. And that's where I ran into trouble.
I forgot to warm up my back before working on back handsprings.
I'm not as young as I used to be, and I'm not nearly as flexible or strong as I used to be. As a result, I have to really stretch my back and torso before doing anything bendy, and I have to be really careful and precise when tumbling. And I wasn't.
I felt it mid-air: my feet were behind me when I started the back handspring. They should have been in front of me. And having that small mistake basically broke me in half.
I spent the rest of the evening bent over to try to stretch out my back. I barely made it home. Once there, wine and a hot bath helped, but this morning, I woke up extremely stiff. Which is really unfortunately, because I had stuff to do today.
I'm not going back this week. To be honest, this may have cut my goal short. This is something I want to do, but not at the expense of being able to function in my day-to-day life.

"I aim to provide holistic medical care to all my patients. I believe that treating and preventing illnesses requires looking at the whole person: physically, mentally, spiritually, and as they relate to their community and surroundings. These different aspects of the human experience are intimately connected such that illness in any one area affects the health of the others. I believe that each individual experiences health and illness differently, and I aim to work together with my patients to develop the unique treatment and lifestyle regimen that will work best for them."

CHRISTIAN DANIEL BECK (1757-1832), German philologist, historian, theologian and antiquarian, one of the most learned men of his time, was born at Leipzig on the 22nd of January 1757. He studied at Leipzig University, where he was appointed (1785) professor of Greek and Latin literature. This post he resigned in 1819 in order to take up the professorship of history, but resumed it in 1825. He also had the management of the university library, was director of the institute for the deaf and dumb, and filled many educational and municipal offices. In 1784 he founded a philological society, which grew into a philological seminary, superintended by him until his death. In 1808 he was made a Hofrath by the king of Saxony, and in 182o a knight of the civil order of merit. His philological lectures, in which grammar and criticism were subordinated to history, were largely attended by hearers from all parts of Germany. He died at Leipzig on the 13th of December 1832. He edited a number of classical authors: Pedo Albinovanus (1783), Pindar and the Scholia (1792–1795), Aristophanes (with others, 1794, &c.), British protector-ate.

Feast of St Daniel the Stylite
I SAY THAT everywhere we use our senses to produce an image of the Incarnate God Himself, and we sanctify the first of the senses (sight being the first of the senses), just as by words hearing is sanctified. For the image is a memorial. What the book does for those who understand letters, the image does for the illiterate; the word appeals to hearing, the image appeals to sight; it conveys understanding. Therefore God ordered that the ark should be made of acacia wood and gilded within and without, and that the tablets, the rod, the golden jar containing manna should be placed in it as a memorial of what had happened and to prefigure what was to come. And who will say that these images are not loudly sounding heralds? And these were not placed at the side of the tabernacle, but right in front of the people, so that those who saw them might offer veneration and worship to God who had worked through them. It is clear that they were not worshipping them, but being led by them to recall the wonders, they were offering veneration to God who had worked marvels. For images were set up as memorials, and were honored, not as gods, but as leading to a recollection of divine activities.
And God ordered twelve stones to be taken from the Jordan, and He gave the reason; for He said, "so that, when your son asks you, what are these stones? You shall relate how the water of the Jordan failed at the divine command, and the ark of the Lord and all the people passed over" (cf. Joshua 4:6-7). How therefore shall we not depict in images what Christ our God endured for our salvation and His miracles, so that, when my son asks me, what is this? I shall say that God the Word became human and through Him not only did Israel cross over the Jordan, but our whole nature was restored to ancient blessedness, through which that nature has ascended from the lowest parts of the earth beyond every principality and is seated on the very throne of the Father.

The December 31 deadline to obtain mandatory health insurance cover has been postponed, Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has said.
In a statement sent to Arabian Business, the DHA said insurance companies would be allowed to accept health insurance applications in to 2017.
Sources said a new deadline had yet to be finalised, and that residents that fail to register for the mandatory scheme by December 31 – the original deadline – would not face fines.
The DHA had said earlier that a $136.24 (AED500) per month penalty would be charged for failing to meet the deadline… see more

Just a little shameless advertising here. Y'all all know how much I love social networking. What you may not know is that I'm a huge supporter of the barefoot movement. I have spent the majority of my springs & summers barefoot, and it's killing me being up here in cold Ohio where I have to wear shoes more often.
Anyways, because I love being barefoot so much, I made a facebook page for it. Yes, there were already existing pages for it, but I decided to make my own nonetheless. I'm hoping that if you also love being barefoot you will like my page and show some support. ^_^

First Ever SFI Award for North American Wood Design
Vancouver's NSDA Architects was awarded the first Sustainable Forestry Initiative Award as part of the 10th annual WoodWORKS! B.C. Wood Design Awards. The architectural firm was recognized for its innovative use of wood certified to the SFI Standard in the new Kordyban Lodge, a Canadian Cancer Society care facility located in Prince George, B.C.
This project crafted a magnificent healing environment using local wood certified to the SFI Standard provided by SFI Program Participants - The Sinclair Group of Companies and Winton Global Lumber. The Lodge, a stunning wood building that spans 25,000 square feet, includes 36 beds, a meditation room, lounge, family room, massage therapy room and more. It provides a comfortable and peaceful "home away from home" for cancer patients and their caregivers.
The SFI Forest Partners® Program is well on the road to achieving its 2014 goal of certifying 5 million acres of forestland to the SFI standard. Over 600,000 acres of timberland managed by Timberland Investment Resources, LLC (TIR) have been certified to the SFI Standard. The majority of these new certified timberlands are located in the Southern U.S. and build on the SFI Forest Partners® Program's previous successes in South Carolina and Florida, as well as the ongoing work with a wide range of medium-sized private and public landowners, and manufacturing facilities.
In 2012, four market leaders - Time Inc., National Geographic Society, Macmillan Publishers and Pearson - stepped forward and became SFI founding Forest Partners. At 1.3 million acres certified to date in 2014 under the Program, we are working to ensure that future forests continue to be managed for the broad set of the values that are important to our communities.
At the end of 2014, SFI and Scouts Canada announced a new partnership aimed at strengthening and expanding their mutual goals for environmental stewardship. As an example of SFI's commitment to Scouts Canada, SFI is a proud sponsor of Scout Canada's annual SCOUTREES tree planting program which was recently promoted to over 70,000 youth last month during Scout Canada's 2014 leadership summit.
Starting with one tree in 1972, Scouts have planted over 80 million trees across Canada. By planting trees, youth learn about the important role trees have in helping the environment. Trees are planted as windbreaks to help reduce soil erosion from wind and rain, they provide wildlife habitat for birds and other animals, and also beautify parks and provide shade during warm summer days.
SFI Program Participants interested in supporting this initiative can do so by contacting their local Scouts Canada Council.
For any question please contact Danny Karch: 450-242-1233
SFI Conservation and Community Grant proposal period has closed, but there is still time to submit proposals to the PEFC 2014 Collaboration Fund until April 12, 2014. PEFC's annual Collaboration Fund seeks to support members and partner organizations in their dedicated efforts to improve forest management and expand forest certification around the world. PEFC members and other non-profit organizations are encouraged to submit proposals for new and innovative projects. Project partners may also include private and public sector organizations.
For more information on PEFC's program, contact Sarah Price, PEFC Head of Projects & Development.

Women's Conferences 2006!!!
January 7th: I was waiting for the train to Cesky Tesin and I just felt this deep, quiet joy. The conferences were done, and God moved, and we were all basking in it. On the way to the train, I talked to one of the interns, Marketa, about what the conferences were like for her. "I'm so in love with Jesus right now," she confessed. Not only was the teaching powerful for her, but also that she could serve by helping lead worship. "Praying with the girls on the worship team was strong for me." It was beautiful to see the intern girls serve at the public conference and be stretched and have joy in it!
The conference for the public felt a little tough...I looked across the sea of faces and saw hardness. When I talked to the women, I heard frustration. One young mother told our small group that she felt really far from God, she didn't have any victory over her sin, her situation, and she didn't think it would ever change.... Other women talked about situations with their families, in-laws and with themselves where they felt bound.
But thank God for Pamela, Karen and Sharon, three women from Christ Community Church (St. Charles, IL) who came to teach and serve! Their life stories of beauty from ashes gave hope to all of us--again I saw how God not only wants to heal us, but that from those areas will spring healing for others. A while before these conferences God highlighted some verses from Isaiah: "Can plunder be taken from the warriors or captives rescued from the fierce? But this is what the Lord says: 'Yes, captives will be taken from the warriors and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save'" (49:24-25). Later on in the conference I spoke with that same young mother and she shared how she began to see a shaft of light. He's setting the captives free to set others free!
(the details again, just so you can keep it straight!)
January 4-6: Women's conference only for intern girls, female Kam employees and wives of Kam (Kam=Josiah Venture Czech). Serving team: Agnes, Radka, Katka and me and the 3 Christ Community foxes.
January 6-7: Women's conference for the public (ages 15+). Serving team: us 7 AND 8 intern girls.
Theme: I am God's Daughter! Holding firm to who the Bible says we are rather than who others say we are...believing God

Converting my van to an RV, Part 2
Sheesh, this is a lot of work!
When I wrote part 1 back on March 24, I thought I was a couple of days away from having this installed in the van. Today is April 10, and it's mostly done. There have been a number of setbacks...
At the end of the last note, I was installing the bed casters. They turned out to make the bed too wide. I had counted the width of the wheel, but not the width of the rail and the head of the screw. I almost cut down the width, but the bed is short already. So I just recessed the wheels. Hopefully, they won't bind against the mattress when it's in.
Next, the keyboard tray went in. As I suspected, the surface was too high, so I had to cut down the legs. It turned out to be right for another reason -- the table top would have blocked the lower part of the windows in the van.
Then for the sink and some minor touches -- a lock to keep the bed from rolling out while I'm driving, and some reinforcement of the desktop, which still feels a bit wobbly to me.
One bad omen at this point -- I was tightening a screw and it broke! This made me even more nervous about putting this thing in the back of a bouncy van!
Finally, it was done and ready to be taken apart and reassembled in the van.

4th April 2009
I tried the Toucam on the Moon. It was quite difficult finding the position at which the image was focussed on the
camera sensor. Once the position was located I made a mark on the focuser tube to make it easier next time.
Exact focus was also difficult as looking at the laptop screen and adjusting the focuser was awkward.
The slightest touch made the telescope shake about badly. (I don't have a Bahtinov mask for the 10" scope).
I made videos with approximately 2000 frames and selected the best 200 for stacking with Registax.
To avoid transferring the files to the main PC I started processing all the images on the laptop. The results
were dreadful and I was most disheartened, having spent quite a bit on getting the Toucam from Ebay.
Everything looked very noisy and after a while I gave up.
The next day I decided to try again and transferred files to the PC. Amazing! Images were now quite acceptable.
The poor quality of the laptop screen had been the problem all along.
Mosaics were made with iMerge which needs manual positioning.
A day later I remembered I had AutoStitch for creating panoramas and tried that. It worked flawlessly.
As you can see, I didn't plan ahead and didn't manage to cover the Moon's surface evenly,
or get the Moon aligned correctly. I will know better next time.
However, I was pleased with the images. Overall magnification was greater than when using the Canon 350D,
and the image quality is considerably improved.

It goes without saying that most men a clueless when it comes to style. A man either has his look together and spends a lot of time cultivating their appearance or is clueless and know nothing about style. Fear not though, it take a great amount of cash to be stylish. There are a few things men can do to look better without touching draining their cash-flow or taking hours to keep up appearances. Here are a few helpful tips to start looking better now.
- Buy a great pair of shoes and a simple belt – everyone notices a good pair of shoes! If you have to spend money, let it be on the foundation of any outfit. Also, a belt made of premium leather is a nice touch – black and brown are safe bets and can be dressed up or down. If you must, try to match the belt to the trousers and shoes, but don't go full matchy-matchy.
- Drop the logos and buy fitted clothing – logos are making a comeback in high-fashion, but nothing says douche-bag more than loud branded shirts and trousers – stick to solid colors, subtle stripes or standout patterns to be safe. Also, make sure the clothes fit – nothing says stylish more than a bespoke outfit. Wearing unfitted clothing is the biggest offense most men make, and it makes then look messy. If you're like most of us, and buy off the rack – find a good tailor and have them make adjustments – the extra effort will pay dividends.
- Mix things up and remember details matter – personal style trumps everything, so take some creative risks and find a look that works, but by all means don't be trendy. Also, add little things to get that extra edge to an outfit – bold socks, a great tie, a stylish scarf, cuff links, a cool pocket square, etc. all these little things will add up!

Reviews on Bleach Blonde(#613) COCO REMY EXTENSIONSThe hair extensions in this video are:
Length: 20 INCHES
Color: Bleach Blonde
DanielleQuite impressedPosted on 8/28/14Hair arrived way early and it is super soft and very full. The hair was really shiny, but I brushed a little baby powder on there and now it looks just perfect. It took me quite awhile to get the hair to curl how I wanted it to, but it is synthetic hair so that is expected. It handled the heat from my curling wand very well. Overall I was pretty impressed by the quality with the price.
DanielleA nice and affordable hair extensionPosted on 8/21/14The product I ordered was great and cheap. The price for an item like this in a store would cost way more. The hair piece looked good and is a long length that I like.
JayebeWill be a repeat customerPosted on 8/19/14For synthetic, this hair is great. I bought the dark green to light green that looks more turquoise and blue in the picture, and the color of the actual piece matched the picture, which is what I was hoping for. I haven't tried applying any kind of heat or product to it yet. Shipping was super quick coming from China, it reached New England in about a week. Ill definitely be buying more, I'm very happy with my purchase.
BMillyBeautiful color - looks real!Posted on 8/12/14This is a beautiful wig and the color is fantastic. I think it is very real looking - looks like healthy, natural hair.
Anissagood hair, not enough of it though.Posted on 8/2/14really nice hair, good quality. only issue is 1 set of hair is usually not enough. it definitelly was not enough for my hair so i had to order another pack.

Our hair length depends on the different hair textures you choose. The straight hair naturally falls longer because it lies completely flat when it's measured. We measure the length of our curly hair when it is in a straight position because it has more volume for the same weight. The length of our wavy hair texture lies in-between that of the straight and curly as you can see in the above picture.This guide will help you to determine where a length will fall when placed at the top of the head. The hair will fall even longer when placed at the nape area.
Our color ranges in all the popular hair colors listed below, which are all in stock and ready to ship in time. These colors list can accommodate 90% of our consumers. If you are still not sure about your hair color, you can order a color ring to see the entire range of colors we have for sure. We can also offer color customizing on all our products if you have special needs.
NR Hair Extensions are easy to remove!
Simply break the bond using the removal plier by crunching several times around the bond using the plier removal tool.
Holding the client's hair above the bond securely, gently pull by the end of the extension hair or on the bond, the bond will detach from the client's hair.
If it does not pull smoothly, use the plier tool to crunch the bond several more times and pull by the end of the extensi ons hair again.
Some bonds may require more work than others.

Q: What are differences between human hair & synthetic hair?
A: Human Hair offers the most natural look and feel. It is remarkably soft with a shine and movement that is not easily duplicated in synthetic hair. It is also extremely versatile. Human Hair can be cut and styled to suit your personal tastes. And while it can be a more expensive pick, with the proper care, it is also more durable and can last over a year.
With technological advances, synthetic hair has come a long way in recent years. In some cases it is difficult to tell the difference -- the denier and texture are such that they feel almost like human hair. As a matter of fact, with some of the higher quality synthetic pieces, you would never know they were not natural human hair if you didn't have the human hair right next to it to compare!
|Human Hair
|● Ooffers the most natural look & feel
● Presents the most styling versatility
● Requires more styling - especially after washing
● Typically more expensive than synthetic hair
● Less durable than human hair — 4-6 months with proper care.(It is important to follow our care recommendations in order to get the optimal life span from your hair!)
● Premium & Remy Human Hair are the highest quality human hair available
● Hair cuticles kept running in uniform direction resulting in less tangling
● More careful collecting and processing techniques result in higher quality product and contribute to higher price
●The most durable hair type
|Synthetic Hair
|● higher quality synthetic hair offer a look and feel quite similar to human hair
● offers limited styling versatility (hot tools cannot be used)
● requires little maintenance & can usually be worn right out of the box
● typically more affordable than human hair
● very durable - can last over a year with proper care.(It is important to follow our care recommendations in order to get the optimal life span from your hair!)
● Heat-Friendly Synthetic Hair offers more styling versatility (hot tools may be used - max 350°)
● Can be more challenging to style than human hair
● Care must be taken to avoid tangling
● Colors may vary from non-heat-friendly synthetic hair
● Less durable than regular synthetic hair — 2-3 months with proper care(It is important to follow our care recommendations in order to get the optimal life span from your hair!)

I've got a new pig!
Theo needed a friend, so I got myself a new baby boy for him. He's less than a month old, and jet black all over. Makes for a good pair with Theo, who's PEW. I'll post pictures at some point, but right now I'm looking for name suggestions, so comment away.

The product of American company Palomar, which created the world's first technology of laser hair removal, still protected by patent. Palomar VECTUS™ is the most modern device for laser hair removal in the world.
It is the fruit of lasting a several years of experience and research on improving the system so far the best diode laser. The effectiveness of the device has been confirmed by tests and the prestigious certificate issued by the US. Food and Drug Administration.
In 2013, a diode laser Vectus™ received the prestigious prize Prix de Beauty in the category "Discovery of the Year". This prize is awarded in the beauty industry in countries such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Poland.
What makes laser diode Vectus™ stand out?
Medical laser Vectus™, the only one in the world, equipped with a smart card reader of the level of melanin in the skin - Skintel™. In practice, this means that the reader before the treatment is applied to the skin of the patient at the location from which the hair is removed. Skintel™ determines the level of melanin and on the basis of this reading, individually tailored treatment parameters are set in the machine. Thanks to the individual selection of energy, we can use the higher parameters, but safe for the patient. The treatment is more effective.
The effectiveness of the treatment is also influenced by patented technology called Photon RecyclingSM, which consists of the re-use of the light, naturally reflecting from the skin. The light, with built-in a head mirrors, returns, which means that the light pulse is used in hundred percent in the same time dramatically increasing the efficiency of the procedure.
Depending on the area of the treatment, the head with the right size is chosen.
Larger areas, eg. the legs permit the use of a large head, and for mustache - small head. Each of the heads has a cooling tip - a sapphire glass slide, which cools and increases the comfort of the procedure.
How many times does the treatment need to be repeated?
Laser hair removal is a gradual process. During the laser session, there are destroyed only hair that are in the growth phase, which is each time approximately 30% of the visible hair, and therefore regularity is inevitable. The treatment should be repeated on average 4-6 times every 4-12 weeks depending on the area.
Finally, laser removes about 90% of hair, 10% of hair in depilatory body parts remains.
- ingrown hairs
- discolouration of the ingrown hair
- Convenience - too fast regrowth after other methods of hair removal
- endocrine disorders - hirsutism, hipertrychosis (indicated after hormone therapy)
- inflammatory responses of the skin after chemical depilation, waxing and shaving.
- men having problems with thinning regrowth after shaving

Booking Through Thursday: Manual Labor
- Writing guides, grammar books, punctuation how-tos . . . do you read them? Not read them? How many writing books, grammar books, dictionaries–if any–do you have in your library?
I was a writing major in college, so I had to buy a few writing manuals. Nowadays, the one reference book I use is the Blue Book which has all the rules for how to cite in legal documents. I do own a dictionary, but I have not opened it for many years. I also still hope to return to creative writing and own a few books of writing prompts and other instructions on writing.

|Hello; I'm not specifically a fan collector; I like almost any antique mechanical gadget, and fans fall into that category. I have two questions: My housemate came home with a Hunter oscillating fan which someone had set out for trash pickup. It's dark green and the bottom of the base is teardrop-shaped. He dismantled it, cleaned out the old grease and replaced it, then put oil in the oil cup, and now it works like a champ.It came with a cover made of netting to go over the metal grille that surrounds the blades. It obviously was designed to fit over a fan. Is this some aftermarket product? Are there any maintenance tips we should know?
My second question is: I have a Polar Cub model E that resists all efforts to get it running again. There are two "knobs" at the back of the fan (opposite each other), and one is missing, revealing a tube with some kind of bare wire in it. Any suggestions?
Sorry for such minimal information. I'll be happy to give more details to anyone who likes.

|Hello, and welcome to the forum, first of all it would be helpful to post pictures of the fans in questions so we can better help you out with what you need assistance with. Secondly maintenance wise on any vintage or antique fan you must oil the fan's bearings with 20 wt. oil like 3-in-1 in the blue can, or Zoom! Spout oil, which are oils made for use with fractional horsepower motors like fan motors or air compressor motors, if the fans have oscillator mechanism its good to replace the grease packing in the gearboxes every 20 years or so or just before the grease starts getting dried up.
I hope this helps,

|Sounds like the polar cub is missing a brush cap and maybe also the brush. Those fans use brushes to run...small carbon sticks that go into those tubes on each side and make contact with the commutator on the armature (the part that spins). With one missing you aren't getting power to the armature which is why it won't run.

|That sounds like what I have in the polar cub. Is there a way to get the missing brush, or do I have to resort to the fan simply being a decorative item?

|The brushes you can get from McMaster-Carr, the cap would need to come from a parts fan or someone here maybe has an extra one. Might be able to fabricate something to work temporarily.

|The netting you refer to on the Hunter fan was definitely an aftermarket product. As a kid (in the early 1970s) I would occasionally go to work with my dad if he had to go in on a Saturday for a few hours. Although air conditioning had been added to the building, there were many older fans of numerous makes/models still scattered around in some of the offices. I would love to go from office to office and play with the fans. Many of the fans had the netting you described.
Although my dad worked in an office, the business was industrial and was subject to frequent visits by OSHA. Dad said OSHA made them add the netting. I'm sure in the 1960s and 70s, this netting for fans was readily available by electrical supply houses since newer OSHA rules were in effect but many businesses probably still had an abundance of fans around from the 1930s and 40s. Adding the netting would have been much cheaper than buying all new fans.
Personally I would recommend removing the netting and discarding it. I prefer old fans without this aftermarket item that is not particularly attractive.

|I just ordered some brushes from carbonbrush.com, they were cheaper than the shipping so I ordered extras. I think I got 1/4x1"long, can't remember for sure. Measure yours and when mine hit the mailbox, I'll send you one if it will work.

The tales are written in an ancient Norse poetic style called Elder Edda. The style is very direct unlike other ancient poetic styles that contain a lot of flowery descriptions. What makes this style difficult is that is assumes prior knowledge of the legends. The book contains brief introductions to the tales to help, but I found myself going back to reread the introductions and then rereading the tales. I also had difficulty keeping the characters straight. Their names were very similar. For example, there is a Sigmund, Signy, Siggeir, and Sinfjotli.
This is a slow, but very good read. I love folklore and mythology and The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun introduced me to new tales. Christopher Tolkien did a fine job at inserting just the right amount of explanation before letting the tales speak for themselves. He also compiled old lectures from J.R.R. Tolkien on Old Norse poetry. For ancient language buffs, you'll love these lectures and tales.

Roasted Spareribs with Sweet PotatoesAS RECEITAS LÁ DE CASA
Spareribs are great for entertaining but you don't need to cook them on a hot charcoal grill for them to be their best. Marinating definitely helps boost their flavor and ensure they stay juicy and tender during cooking. In this recipe, the ribs are infused with a mixture of honey, lemon juice, wine, garlic, and cilantro; make slits in the meat to allow the marinade to permeate even more. What's great is the sweet potatoes roast in the same pan, for a meal in one.
- 1 spareribs (rack, trimmed and ready to use)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- salt
- sweet pepper
- 6 garlic cloves
- coriander (to taste)
- 1/2 cup red wine
- olive oil
- 3 sweet potatoes (medium)
- Trim spareribs, and place in a baking pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey, lemon juice, salt, paprika, minced garlic, chopped coriander and wine. Pour mixture over ribs and rub sauce into the meat. Marinate for at least one hour. Preheat oven to 200°C (approximately 400°F).
- Pour remaining sauce on ribs and baste with olive oil. Scrub unpeeled potatoes and cut into thin slices. Arrange them vertically around the ribs and season potatoes with fine salt. Bake for at least 1 hour, or until roasted. Serve with salad, if desired.

When dinner guests sit down to enjoy a juicy steak, it's clear they've made a choice to treat themselves to a nice meal. But does it matter to them where the beef came from, or how the cattle that provided the beef were raised?
With the New Mexico beef industry generating some $905 million annually, a total U.S. beef consumption of 28 billion pounds per year and the increased cost of producing beef due to competition for corn with the biofuels industry, beef marketing decisions and feedback from consumers can be critical.
To help answer some of the questions regarding consumer preferences, New Mexico State University is partnering with the Branch Ranch-Natural Beef of New Mexico in Lovington, N.M., on a year-long research project that is focusing on branded beef products. Branch Ranch already has experience producing "natural beef" by marketing to companies such as Coleman Natural and IBP-Tyson. Natural beef is a product certified by USDA and in general is defined as beef that was produced without the use antibiotics and added growth promotants (i.e., hormones).
"In order to remain competitive and to develop effective marketing strategies, beef producers must understand the basic factors underlying beef consumption," said Kassi M. Laney, a student in NMSU's Department of Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Business. "One possible marketing strategy that may be adopted by beef producers is product 'branding.' A difficulty associated with branding beef is that beef is commonly considered a 'commodity.' That is, historically beef has been considered a homogeneous good. It is difficult to communicate specific characteristics or qualities that make one particular supplier's beef unique from others. While challenging, branding of agricultural commodities is not impossible."
Laney is serving as coordinator of the project, and the project will be the focus of her master's thesis. She pointed out that some states already have branding projects in place to differentiate their beef, such as South Dakota and Wisconsin. The Kansas City Steak Company, for example, has wide name recognition.
"The primary objective of this project is to explore market opportunities for a branded beef product originating from New Mexico," Laney said. "Researchers will look at opportunities that may exist for the Branch Ranch to participate in this branding effort."
The project will include examination of trends in the beef industry including both production and demand that may influence the ability of the Branch Ranch to develop a branded beef product; identification and review of popular branded beef products available on the market; review of existing or proposed branded beef programs developed by various state or industry groups; comparison of consumer preferences for branded beef products relative to generic beef products; and comparison of beef originating from the Branch Ranch and generic beef products.
"It will give us insight into what people are thinking," said Milt Thomas, a beef cattle physiology and genetics researcher in NMSU's Department of Animal and Range Sciences. Thomas and Professor Jack Thomas will guide students who work on this project within the Department of Animal and Range Science. Both professors think it is a great opportunity to expose animal science students to the serving of a food product. Steaks from this project are being served in the 100 West Café, which is a teaching restaurant managed by the NMSU School of Hotel Restaurant and Tourism Management. Chef John Hartley is mentoring the students working in the restaurant on this project. He also thinks this is a great opportunity for students interested in food service to learn about the origin and management of meat products. Cumulatively, the project demonstrates the strength of connection between New Mexico State University's teaching and research programs.
Laney and Jay Lillywhite, assistant professor of Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Business, will conduct research relating to consumer preferences for branded beef products. Laney will serve as the overall project coordinator and will be responsible for providing project updates to Branch Ranch management.
Under the guidance and direction of Kevin Boberg, associate dean of the College of Business and the NMSU Arrowhead Center, a team with experience in economic development will also conduct research associated with developing a branded beef product. Students and staff in this program will work independently of the other university researchers. This strategy will give the Branch Ranch a view of the project from economic development independent of the researchers that focus their careers on livestock production.
Milt Thomas said the Branch Ranch, owned by the Dan Field family, is a unique company that includes a cow-calf operation, its own feedlot and now an interest in developing its own beef marketing abilities. Several family members are NMSU graduates and one family member has training in culinary arts and experience in a catering business. They truly have the ability to market their slogan, "From Start to Steak."
In addition to their longtime tradition of supporting NMSU, the Field family is turning to NMSU for its unique ability to conduct this kind of research.
"I think they like the idea of working with the university because we can pull so much expertise together," Milt Thomas said.
Students will be involved in harvesting the steaks, serving the beef and conducting the surveys, "so it's not just a faculty project," Laney said.
The survey work will be done through the 100 West Café in the College of Agriculture and Home Economics. Consumer preferences for Branch Ranch beef will be examined using volunteers dining at the 100 West Café. Participants will be served meals featuring Branch Ranch beef and will then be asked to describe their impressions using a brief survey questionnaire. Due to the limited budget, all consumer work will be conducted using New Mexico residents, including NMSU faculty and students.
Upon completion of the research, a written report summarizing results and providing suggestions regarding future direction will be provided. Also, a verbal presentation will be developed and presented to Branch Ranch management.
Reports from the Arrowhead Center and involved MBA students will provide an independently prepared report and presentation to Branch Ranch management.
A final report and presentation will be made in January 2009.

Her Lion Billionaire(2)By: Lizzie Lynn Lee
They were all too… disturbing.
That was why, when Charlotte left herself unguarded after the accident and Daniel touched her bare arm, she got an instant shock. Instead of a glimpse of his dreams or memories, she saw his future—their future. Together. What made it worse was that it wasn't only her that received the premonition. Daniel saw it as well.
Freaked out, she ran into the park and hid until midnight before she finally mustered the courage to return to her apartment.
Who'd have guessed that America's favorite bachelor was a pureblooded shifter?
But her problems didn't end there. Two days after the accident, someone returned her bike to her apartment, cleaned and fixed, and she started getting calls and gifts from Daniel Addington.
That man.
But how had he found her?
Perhaps she shouldn't have been surprised. A wealthy man like him must have a lot of connections. She'd talked to him briefly when he first invited her to a dinner. She thanked him for his help and politely declined his invitation. Then the gifts and unwanted calls started.
Gah, that man.
Charlotte was sure what he was doing was some form of harassment. If he were a regular Joe, she'd have no problem calling the cops. But this was Daniel Addington, and she feared his retaliation.
For the time being, Charlotte decided that avoiding him was the best course of action. She hoped he'd get tired of her eventually and leave her alone; a busy man like him must have plenty of stuff to do. He couldn't just keep chasing after her.
Charlotte's smile wavered when Abby didn't look convinced. Her friend kept scrutinizing her with one eyebrow arched as if to say: Honey, I don't buy your bullshit.
"Tell me, the person who ran you off the street is actually Addington?"
"No!" Charlotte was scandalized. "Why would he do that?"
"I don't know. He was drunk or something."
"Abby, don't make things up. It was a guy in a blue sedan who skirted too close to my bike. Addington happened to be there and helped me. Besides, he doesn't drive. He has his own chauffeur, you know?"
Abby wrung her hands in frustration. "Then he must really like you. You should go out with him."
"No thanks. He's not an ordinary person like you and I. I just want my peace and quiet back."
"I can't believe this. Just when I'm happy that you finally get some romance action going. Charlotte, just look at you!"
"What about it?"
"I've never seen you dressed from head to toe in anything other than black. You never wear makeup and always keep your hair in a tight bun. You look exactly like a Sicilian widow in mourning. You wear those hideous gloves even in the summer."
"I'm a germaphobe. People give me cooties. I'm scared of cooties."
"Right. My brother has mysophobia and has gone totally OCD. I've known you quite a long time, and you aren't like him at all. But hey, I give up." Abby raised her hands. "You know that I'm your friend, right? You helped me a lot in the past, and if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here right now. I'd like to do something back. If you're happy, then I'm happy too."
Abby was the first person who was nice to her when Charlotte started working for the company. As a bookkeeper, this job was perfect for her. It didn't require too much human interaction, and she was practically left alone the whole day. When she asked to be moved into the storage room in the basement, her boss thought she was quirky, but he let her have what she wanted anyway. She always came early and left late, did a good job, and never caused trouble like the girls from the marketing department.
"I'm already happy, Abby. I'm just not a people person. As long as I've got my job and this office, I'm a happy camper."
"Are you?" Abby asked sarcastically.
"Okay. If you say so." Abby planted her hands on her hips. "What should I tell him when he calls again? He knows that you weren't in any meeting. I think he's already figured out your daily schedule."
Charlotte forced herself to smile brightly. "Transfer it to me. I'll tell him off myself."
Daniel Addington didn't try to contact her again for the remainder of the day. It was too early to celebrate, but Charlotte allowed herself a small measure of relief. Had he finally come to his senses and decided to leave her alone from now on? It was too early to tell.
She read somewhere that Addington was a workaholic. Maybe his workload had caught up with him. Well, she wished a mountain of work would fall on him, making him so busy that he wouldn't have time to harass her.
