Original M&P Shield vs Shield M2.0: Which Shield To Shell Out For
Since Smith and Wesson has begun rolling out their 2.0 line of the M&P pistols, some people have begun wondering if the new model is going to be better than the old one. Hence, some folks will find themselves pondering whether they should get the M&P Shield vs. M&P Shield M2.0?
Are the differences in the M2.0 pistols SO much greater that they're worth more money?!
Well, the differences are so slight that on paper they kind of aren't, at least if you'd have to pay more for the M2.0 Shield vs the regular Shield. The M2.0 series is really what the automotive industry calls a "refresh" or a "facelift," when a particular make and model car gets a slight revision at a certain point in the product cycle. There are some little differences, but it's basically the same car.
What are those differences? We'll get into that, so let's talk about whether you should get the Shield M2.0 vs. the original Shield.
What's New On The Shield M2.0?
For those unaware, the Shield - and, of course, the M&P Shield M2.0 - is a single-stack subcompact poly-striker pistol. It's pretty bare-bones, but the factory gives you a good number of options. You can choose models with or without a manual safety. You can upgrade the sights, there are Performance Center models...they even offer a few with lasers. The Shield M2.0 is currently offered in 9mm and .40 caliber.
After about 10 years, this gun has practically become an institution among carry guns. Smith and Wesson created the M2.0 series of their M&P poly striker guns with some improvements. What are those improvements?
The M2.0 has a refined trigger, for a smoother pull, crisper break and a more audible, more tactile reset. Otherwise, it's the same hinged striker trigger and integrated trigger safety.
The grip stipling has been changed also, to give the shooter a better grip on the pistol. It's a bit rougher, almost sand-paper like. This gives you better purchase when gripping the pistol.
The machining on the slide is a bit different, with a softer bevel on the slide and some fishscale serrations toward the end of the slide. This is for better purchase for press-checking.
Other than that...literally everything else is the same.
Rock Solid CCW: The M&P Shield
The original Shield is one of the most popular concealed carry pistols on the market; we here at Alien Gear sell Shield holsters practically by the truckload.
Why is that?
Well, it's about perfect. The manual of arms is easy to learn, even with the optional manual safety. They shoot very well despite their compact size, and accurately.
You can choose between the Shield 9, Shield 40 or Shield 45, if you don't mind a tad bigger gun to shoot .45 ACP. (The 2.0 is only in 9mm and .40 S&W...for now.) There are a whole bunch of factory options to upgrade to and amazing aftermarket support.
The basic measurements are as follows: barrel length is 3.1 inches. The gun stands 4.6 inches tall, 0.95 inches wide and is 6.1 inches long. (The M2.0 is the same.) Capacity is 7 or 8 rounds of 9mm, depending on the magazine (there's a flush-fit and extended) which is reduced by one round if you carry the .40 S&W version, and by one more if you go up to the Shield 45. It weighs 20.3 ounces unloaded, though the M2.0 is 2 ounces lighter.
The base model comes with 3-dot sights. At the moment, the base M&P9 Shield retails for $449, and the M2.0 for $479. You'll find them for way less in stores; $100 or more off the MSRP is not uncommon at all.
- S&W M&P Shield 9mm Specs:
- Overall Length: 6.1"
- Width: .95
- Height: 4.6"
- Barrel Length: 3.1"
- Weight: 20.3oz unloaded
M&P Shield vs. M&P Shield M2.0: The Decision
So here's the thing: you'll probably like the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield M2.0 a little better if you're a bit of a nitpicker. It's isn't a bad thing, necessarily; people like what they like, and given that a gun costs hundreds of dollars, you should get what you want.
Thing about picking between the Shield vs. Shield M2.0 is that the Shield 2.0 isn't an enormous leap forward. It's more that a few details have been kind of improved. Other than that, it's the same gun and only costs an extra $30.
What's going to tilt you toward one or the other? On paper...nothing. The differences are incremental at best. What will make the difference is if one feels better to you, or shoots a little better. That's going to be the kicker, so be sure to handle and shoot both, if possible. The one you like better is the one to acquire.
The ShapeShift Core Carry Pack is currently available for the original Shield in 9mm and .40 caliber, and for both flavors of the M2.0.

Occlusal Splints
An Occlusal splint is an appliance worn at night to help balance the pressure placed on the teeth and jaw of patients who grind or clench their teeth. A Splint assists in dealing with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders as well as aiding in the long term protection of teeth and restorations from wear and tear.
The TMJ is the point where the jaw opens and closes. The symptoms of TMJ disorder can vary from patient to patient and in some instances may be only mild but can include headaches, migraines, neck and back pain, dizziness, popping or clicking jaw joints, earache or pain when opening and closing your jaw.
An Occlusal splint suitable for the individuals needs will be designed, allowing the jaw muscles to relax taking the pressure off individual teeth.
Extensive time is taken with each patient, advising on how best to manage their symptoms. In some cases referral to other specialists is required.

About a month ago, as part of the series of charts inspired by our latest analog [see: Analog Details Feb 7, 2018] I hazarded a forecast for RUT that called for a rebound to the rising white channel (which had recently broken down) by Feb 14, a retracement on Mar 1, and a subsequent rally … continue reading →
I called a top in SPX on May 20, 2015 [see: The Last Big Butterfly] because it was about to reach the 1.618 Fib extension at 2138 — our upside target from way back in 2012. SPX peaked the following day and fell over 300 points before it was all over. What I didn't notice … continue reading →
This morning's rally is pretty good confirmation that our analog is playing out. I've spent 18 of the past 24 hours charting, and have some additional info on what to expect from SPX, ES, DXY, USDJPY, EURUSD, TNX, ZN, RB, CL and, of course, VIX over the next two months. I'll post it later today, … continue reading →
Yesterday started out with a VIX-driven pop that quickly fizzled and nailed our downside target before rebounding and hitting our upside target. Since SPX closed right at resistance, it needed a boost overnight. So, why not go back to the same clever trick that worked the day before? Yes, VIX's red channel has broken down … continue reading →
ORIGINAL POST: 9:15 AM Last night, the dollar tagged the .786 Fib retracement of its decline from Apr 4. It subsequently sold off almost to the .618 but, so far, is hanging in a rising wedge. The EURUSD re-tested the .500 Fib of its rise from Apr 3, and snapped back into its falling wedge … continue reading →
The ECB will do "whatever it takes", which I guess now translates into strong-arming the Russians into bailing out Cyprus. Still no break out on the EURUSD, though.

The S&P 500 gained about 6% between the last update (Dec 20, 2012) and the Feb 19 highs of 1530.94. The index gave back half of the gains over the subsequent week, then retraced 88.6% of those losses over the next two sessions for a total move through Feb 28 of about 11%. Our … continue reading →
As noted back on Feb 21, the EURUSD has broken down from its rising channel (white) and accelerated to the downside, breaking the Jan 4 1.2996 low and the psychologically important 1.30 level.

We're getting a little more momentum going on the downside today. SPX completed the small H&S pattern I posted yesterday. It targets 1445 — approximately the .146 Fib of the 1266.74 – 1474.51 rally.

The 40 Yard Dilemma
Why athletes run "faster" at their Pro Days than at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Michael Weinstein – Zybek Sports firstname.lastname@example.com
Try finding an athlete who ran slower at a Pro Day than at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Still looking?
I haven't found any either.
These are typical examples of the Pro Day media coverage:
"The 6-2, 310-pound Billings helped himself with a personal-best time of 4.92 in the 40, knocking .13 off the time he ran at the Combine."[1]
"I've never run a 4.5 in my life…… Two and a half weeks later, at Ohio State's pro day on March 11, Miller clocked 40s at 4.33 and 4.36 seconds"[2]
"No one knows exactly how fast Corey Grant's time in the 40-yard dash was on Tuesday. Some scouts revealed a 4.19; others got incrementally higher toward 4.24, 4.27 and an even seemingly slow 4.36."[3]
"He was clocked at a 4.48 40-yard dash, much better than the 4.75 he ran at the NFL combine."[4]
Why is an athlete "faster" at a Pro Day than at the NFL Scouting Combine?
Answer: Although they are taking the same test; it is being graded differently.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, an Electronic Timing System is used. At most Pro Days, manually operated stop watches are used to time athletes.
So, why is a stop watch time always faster than an electronic time? Time is time – right?
This is why the times are different:
Imagine… You are timing an athlete. You are intently watching the athlete who is in a tight 3-point stance located 40 yards (120 feet!) away from your location. You press the start button after you see the athlete start to run. The amount of time after you press the button gives the athlete a head start.
How much of a head start differs for many reasons; however, it will always favor the athlete.
The following table shows some examples of the 40-yard dash reported by the media and the NFL Scouting time:
Figure 1 – Example 40-yard time "Improvements" from the NFL Scouting.
There are an infinite number of sports topics that are open to debate…
Because there are no standards used to time an athlete, the 40-yard dash number is also open for debate.
So next time you hear a discussion on athlete's 40-yard dash times, just know: all times are not created equal.
It's not how fast the athlete is.
It's how they are timed.

Unfinished—Search for the Miraculous (2017) is initiated by Peter Burke and Robert Mangion who have developed a curatorial model for a group exhibition at Five Walls Projects. The project is in part mentorship and in part a discursive platform for experimentation with spatial, material and narrative structures, drawn out of a historic conceptual art context.
Unfinished—Search for the Miraculous draws from a subject critical to art practice: the question of when a work of art is finished. The project examines the term 'unfinished' in its broadest sense, including works left incomplete by their makers, which often give insight into the cryptic process of their creation. In this project, the unfinished is explored in cross-disciplinary ways, blurring the distinction between making and un-making, and extending the boundaries between beginnings and endings.
Participating artists: Robert Mangion, Peter Burke, Lauren Kennedy, Marcel Feillafe and Denise Honan.
Exhibition:Five Walls Projects, Footscray21 September—7 October 2017.
Photography: Marcel Feillafe.
Pop-Dot Apple (2016-17) is a participatory art project by Keigo Ogaswara, a sculptor based in Japan. From 2011, Keigo has hand crafted more than 1300 ceramic apples. In a simple gesture, he gives each apple away, and invites the recipient to take a photograph of their apple. He then exhibits the photographs and shares them on social media. For Kiego, each individual apple represents a connection with a person, and the 1300+ apples form a pattern of dots on a collective map linking people from all around the world,
Curated by Peter Burke, this exhibition features the apples Keigo gifted to students and teachers at Victoria Polytechnic, together with individual contributions from Japan.
Exhibition:Vitrine, 300 Flinders Street, Melbourne20 February—14 April 2017

I have updated my toolkit. As I was working on my business cardsI dropped in a shadow and fixed the shoes a bit as well as adding in a texture. Here is my updated toolkit!
I recieved a bit more feedback about my logo and decided to play around with it a bit. Here is an image of one of the suggestions.
I changed the key on the drum to yellow as well and added highlights. I kind of felt that it clashed too much with the key on the back so I'm going to keep the drum key blue however I like the contrast of the yellow key and the blue logo that I may use this as a color combination when the logo is used without the mascot. Thanks for the suggestions!
After this process I received some more feedback and addressed some of those issues. I also continued to work on my mascot who was going to really bring the whole brand together. After many many trial and errors I am happy to present to you my brand toolkit!
After figuring out what I really wanted my logo to look like I started thinking about color and my color palette. I tried out many different color versions and textures. I still may use some of the combinations depending on where my logo is going to be used however it will mostly be used just as a solid color.
Here is a bunch of my digital sketch brain storming.
After looking at all these fonts I decided to narrow it down to these 8 combinations. After sending it out to some friends I decided on the 2 fonts I wanted, purchased the liscensing and began designing!
I realized I kind of jumped the gun and forgot to show more of my process of how I ended up on my logo. Here are some font options I was considering with some personal notes about pricing and everything that I was considering
Being inspired by the mascot I really wanted to get the main logo figured out so everything could fall into place and here you have it!
I started designing it in black and white just to really focus on the design and to make sure it would work in a single color. I am now working on messing around with different color variations and ideas. Hope you guys like it!
I did a bunch of sketches. Here are some of my original sketches when I was still really focused on making some of the classic toys work into my design.
Then I looked backed at my mood boards and realized I really loved clever design. For instance the antartica logo where they made a penguin out of the letter A. I just couldn't get over how good of an idea that was and started really toying around with some ideas of a logo focused around the letter B.
Then that B in the middle right with the little tab sticking out of it. My girlfriend mistook it for a key to like a wind up toy or something. The second she said that everything just clicked into place and I was well on my way to figuring out where I really wanted to go with the whole process! I decided to look back at some of the photos I took from the toy museum and knew exactly where I wanted to go. I wanted to have a nice clean logo but at the same time I was going to design a mascot that could really capture the essence of my company. So then I started to doodle ideas for characters and how I could tie everything together.
I started to doodle ideas and really wanted it to be one of those old fashioned wind up toys. This way the logo could work in multiple ways. The wind up key itself could be a stand alone logo. Then the drum would be my main logo and the thing holding the drum would become the essence of my brand that ties everything together.
I doodled a few ideas but they looked too much like a shark or a whale or a turtle and I really just wanted to to be a thing. I didn't want it to be easily associated with any thing in particular I wanted people to ask what is it? Then I finally drew THE ONE!
Its still really rough but in my head I can really see how it's going to look and am going to take it digital now to start cleaning things up!
This past weekend I went to the Barker Character Comic and Cartoon Museum in Cheshire, Connecticut and it was AMAZING!
I decided to make one more mood board mostly made up of pictures I took at the museum for some extra inspiration and figured I'd post it on here!
Hey Guys!
I'm excited to be starting class 2. Here is my mood board of some logo designs I liked and some other souces of inspiration for my own logo

Gustavo Doreste was best Grandmaster on a DNA with regular boards. He and Manolo trained a lot together.
Stephen Brayshaw scored fourth and did a fantastic job.
Mischa started the championship strong but had an unfortunate dnf and some lesser results in the light winds.
The DNA's did win 4 out of nine races and were especially fast in medium conditions, where the guys with J-boards had a clear advantage. Manolo did well in the light too.

Estate of Krueger
Jerilyn Braaten, the personal representative of the Frederick Ardell Krueger Estate, appealed an order holding the Department of Human Services could recover 100 percent of the net proceeds from the sale of Krueger's home to pay for medical assistance benefits previously received by his deceased spouse. The North Dakota Supreme Court concluded the district court erred in ruling the Department is entitled to 100 percent of the net sale proceeds. For purposes of Medicaid recovery from a surviving spouse's estate, the Department's recovery from a deceased recipient's joint tenancy property is limited to the deceased recipient's fractional interest in the property. The matter was reversed and remanded fo the trial court to permit the Department to recover 50 percent of the net sale proceeds. View "Estate of Krueger" on Justia Law

U.S. Bank National Ass'n v DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the order of the Appellate Division affirming Supreme Court's dismissal of the complaint filed by the trustee (Trustee) of the ABSHE 2006 residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) trust, without prejudice to refiling, holding that N.Y. C.P.L.R. 205(a) applies to an RMBS trustee's second action when its timely first action is dismissed for failure to comply with a contractual condition precedent. The Trustee first filed an action against Defendant, the sponsor and seller of the trust securitization, and the action was dismissed for failure to comply with a contractual condition precedent, without prejudice to refiling. The Trustee then filed this action against Defendant claiming violations of representations and warranties regarding the quality of the loans contained in the trust. On appeal, Defendant argued that the first action should have been dismissed with prejudice. The Court of Appeals disagreed, holding that the Trustee's failure to comply with a contractual condition precedent did not foreclose refiling of its action for alleged breach of RMBS representations and warranties pursuant to N.Y. C.P.L.R. 205(a). View "U.S. Bank National Ass'n v DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc." on Justia Law
Presnell v. Presnell
In this dispute over the property division in a will, the Supreme Court granted the writ of prohibition sought by Petitioner seeking relief from the circuit court's grant of Respondents' motion to sell certain property, holding that the implication of possible sale relating to a separate piece of real property is insufficient evidence of an intent to sell all other real property such that it bypasses the findings required by W. Va. Code 44-8-1 and 37-4-3 to sell a specific devise subject to a partition suit. The Testator's will devised a family farm and other property to her three children, Petitioner and Respondents. Petitioner sought to have the family farm partitioned in kind and argued that it was a specific devise. Co-executors of the estate sought a court order to sell the family farm. The circuit court ruled in favor of the co-executors, concluding that the Testator showed approval of the sale of the family farm even though it had been separately and specifically devised. The Supreme Court granted this writ of prohibition, holding that the circuit court erred in permitting sale of the family farm without first determining whether the property was amenable to partition in kind consistent with the directives of sections 44-8-1 and 37-4-3.

Bjorn-Roli v. Mulligan
Two sisters were beneficiaries of their late parents trusts: one was trustee of the trusts and president of the family corporation; the other sister was a shareholder of the family corporation. The latter sister disputed proposed trust distributions and various aspects of the family corporation; she and her children sued the trustee for breach of fiduciary duty in both trustee and corporate capacities. The litigation resulted in two appeals, which the Alaska Supreme Court consolidated for oral argument and decision. After review, the Court largely affirmed the superior court s decisions because they were discretionary and, under the applicable standard of review, the Court could not say they were unreasonable given the court s factual findings; but the matters were remanded for reconsideration of certain trust property valuations, which may have required minor distribution adjustments.

Wright v. Harris, et al.
Clifford Wright ("Wright"), the administrator of the estate of Mary Evelyn Wright ("Mary") appealed a summary judgment entered in favor of Dawn Reid, Phyllis Harris, and Tuwanda Worrills (collectively referred to as "the nurses"), who, during all relevant times, were employed by the Cleburne County Hospital Board, Inc., d/b/a Cleburne County Nursing Home ("the Hospital Board"). Mary complained she suffered injuries from a fall while a resident of a nursing home operated by the Hospital Board. Mary allegedly died from her injuries the day after her complaint was filed. Wright was appointed the administrator of Mary's estate and was substituted as the plaintiff. As amended, Wright's complaint asserted claims against the nurses, the Hospital Board, and various fictitiously named parties under the Alabama Medical Liability Act. Wright's claim against the Hospital Board included 13 separate allegations of negligence. Wright's claims against each of the nurses included 13 separate allegations of negligence. Additionally, Wright alleged that the Hospital Board was vicariously liable for the actions of its agents, specifically, the actions of the nurses. The Alabama Supreme Court concluded the trial court exceeded its discretion in certifying the summary judgment in favor of the nurses as a final judgment pursuant to Rule 54(b). Accordingly, the trial court's Rule 54(b) certification was invalid; this appeal was from a nonfinal judgment; and the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal. View "Wright v. Harris, et al." on Justia Law
In re Robert and Irene Redland Family Trust
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the district court not to remove Lisa Kimsey as co-trustee of the Redland family's irrevocable trust or to terminate the trust, holding that the district court did not err or abuse its discretion. Two of the three appeals consolidated in this decision related to Rolly Redland's counterclaim to remove Kimsey as co-trustee for allegedly breaching her fiduciary duties and interfering with trust administration. The third appeal concerned Kimsey's request to terminate the trust on the grounds that it was invalid and otherwise failed to achieve the settlers' intended purposes. The district court decided not to remove Kimsey as co-trustee or terminate the trust. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) res judicata barred Kimsey's claim that the trust was invalid; (2) the district court did not err in finding that a material purpose of the trust remained; and (3) the district court did not err when it retained Kimsey as co-trustee of the trust.

Pappas v. Philip Morris, Inc.
Plaintiff filed a pro se action against Phillip Morris, alleging Connecticut state law liability claims on behalf of her late husband's estate. The district court dismissed some of plaintiff's claims based on its determination that Connecticut law would not allow her to represent the estate pro se. In this case, Connecticut law and federal law conflict on the issue of whether plaintiff can represent the estate pro se. The Second Circuit held that the district court misread both Erie R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64 (1938), and Guest v. Hansen, 603 F.3d 15 (2d Cir. 2010), in concluding that Connecticut's rule controlled the circumstances in which a party may appear pro se in federal court. The court held that 28 U.S.C. 1654, and federal rules interpreting it, are procedural in nature and therefore must be applied by federal courts in diversity cases. The court explained that, who may practice law before a federal court is a matter of procedure—which Congress and the federal courts have the power to regulate—notwithstanding contrary state law. In this case, Connecticut's substantive law will not be affected by permitting plaintiff to file motions, conduct depositions, or represent the estate at trial. Accordingly, the court vacated the district court's judgment insofar as it dismissed plaintiff's claims under Connecticut law and the derivative consortium claims. The court affirmed the dismissal of the remaining claims based on statute of limitation grounds. View "Pappas v. Philip Morris, Inc." on Justia Law
Bailey v. Birch
Bruce Birch appealed a district court decision to affirm a magistrate court decision to award attorney fees against Birch. This case concerned the disposition of the estate of Birch and Linda Bailey's mother, Ruth Birch. Ruth executed a last will and testament that intentionally omitted Birch. After Ruth's death in 2011, Bailey was appointed as the personal representative for her estate. The magistrate approved a compromise agreement that allowed Birch and another intentionally omitted sibling to receive equal shares of the estate. After approval of the agreement, Bailey requested Birch pay the estate's attorney fees for preparing the agreement. The magistrate court awarded attorney fees to Bailey. In this appeal, Birch argued the magistrate court's award of attorney fees was an abuse of discretion because it did not comply with the requirements of the Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure. The Idaho Supreme Court determined the district court erred in awarding fees, reversed and remanded for further proceedings. View "Bailey v. Birch" on Justia Law

Pascua v. Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC
The Supreme Court held that where an individual has been appointed special administrator of an estate that includes residential real property, the special administrator resides in the property as his or her primary residence, and the special administrator retains an ownership interest via intestate succession laws, the special administrator is entitled to participate in a foreclosure mediation program (FMP) regarding the decedent's residential real property, despite the fact that the property was purchased in the decedent's name only. Appellant was the decedent's spouse and the special administrator of the decedent's estate. When Respondent commenced foreclosure proceedings on the home the decedent purchased in her name only, Appellant requested foreclosure mediation through Nevada's FMP. The mediator concluded that the property was not eligible for the FMP because Appellant was not an owner or grantor of the property and because the order appointing him as special administrator did not specifically authorize him to participate in the FMP. The district court denied Appellant's petition for judicial review. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that because Appellant obtained an ownership interest in the property upon the decedent's death, the property served as his primary residence, and his status as special administrator authorized him to take action to preserve the decedent's estate, Appellant was entitled to participate in the FMP.

Rogers v. Rogers
Plaintiff Samuel Rogers appealed a superior court order dismissing his complaint against his son, Joseph Rogers, upon finding that the probate court and not the superior court, retained exclusive subject matter jurisdiction over his cause of action. Plaintiff's wife died in March 2012 and the parties' dispute arose after the disposition of her estate. The decedent's will named defendant as the executor of the estate, which was comprised of, in pertinent part, two properties in Hollis, New Hampshire: plaintiff's marital home and the decedent's 50% ownership interest in 94.3 acres of undeveloped land on Rocky Point Road. In her will, the decedent devised one-third of the estate to plaintiff and the remaining two-thirds to defendant. The probate court appointed defendant as the executor of the estate in May 2012. At some point in 2015, plaintiff learned that the Town of Hollis had either offered to purchase or agreed to purchase Rocky Point for $2,500,000, but, for reasons not established by the record, the sale was never consummated. Thereafter, plaintiff discovered his son had commissioned an appraisal of Rocky Point in 2005 which estimated that the value of the property at that time was $1,950,000. These valuations suggested that following the parties' exchange of property interests, defendant's interest in Rocky Point would have been worth approximately $975,000. Based on these discoveries, plaintiffs sued his son in 2016 in superior court, alleging breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligence, and unjust enrichment. Defendant moved to dismiss, arguing his father's claims were barred by the statute of limitations, which was within six months of the probate court's issuance of the certificate of appointment in May 2012. Ruling that defendant mischaracterized plaintiff's claims, the superior court denied defendant's motion. Upon reconsideration, the trial court granted defendant's motion and dismissed plaintiff's superior court claims, finding they related the the estate and will, and any misrepresentation of Rocky Point took place during the administration of the estate. The New Hampshire Supreme Court concluded the claims at issue here did not fall within the probate court's exclusive jurisdiction, reversed and remanded for further proceedings. View "Rogers v. Rogers" on Justia Law

Hi loves! I have natural dry hair and now that its color treated I need even more nourishment. I have been using Blessix Hair & Face Serum (11ml, 9.00 EUR). This can also be used on face, but I have used it only in my hair.
The serum comes in a little glass bottle and has a dropper. You might think its too small bottle, but I have used it since October and I still haven't used up half of it. I use 4 drops of it in my hair and it makes the end of my hair look I just got a fresh hair cut.
I don't know why it says serum as it is actually oil. It does sink into the skin and hair fast, doesn't feel heavy and nourishes, in my case my hair. It doesn't have any scent to it, so beauties with sensitive skin can use it too (if you want to use it as facial oil).
I'm so happy I have this in my hair oil collection. It keeps the end of my hair looking healthy, nourished and the ends don't brake as fast. I do use quite a lot of heat on my hair. If you are interested checking it out, you can do so here.
Which is your favorite hair oil?

I saw an article being linked to from Twitter this morning. It was entitled 10 Reasons PR Should Embrace Twitter. I thought I should go check it out, partly because I regularly guest lecture about the internet on a PR module at Birmingham City University, and partly because I had a feeling that the reasons given would either be surprising and useful, or laughably wrong.
It was the latter.
Now, I'm not one of those people that think PR is inherently evil. It is mostly evil in practice, of course – but not inherently so. PR is about organisations communicating with the outside world. There are lots of good things to communicate, by many good organisations.
Where it all goes wrong, I think, is when it becomes about 'perception management'. That is to say – PR becomes the answer to the problem "How do we make as many people as possible think that our company is good, when it's bad?"
And the strategy is one of broadcasting and mass communication. The trouble is – that's not what Twitter is about.
This is a conversation
The idea that Twitter is a broadcast medium, that it provides free exposure for brands and that it's an influential tool for PR is based on the misunderstanding of internet media as broadcasting. As I've pointed out a number of times (specifically here), we are not in the electric age of communication anymore.
Sending out your message simply doesn't work. Reputation is not based on repetition but on consensus and discussion.
You can, of course, engage in the discussion – but you do not have the floor, and the people you are talking to are not an audience.
Your PR is not welcome here
People do not engage with brands online – they engage with people. Those people can represent brands, but the relationships are essentially human ones.
But here's the most important point: The most damaging thing you can do on Twitter from a PR perspective is to use Twitter as if it's a PR medium.
If you talk at people rather than with them. If you cut and paste a message and direct it at who you believe to be influential tweeters. If you try all the old broadcasting and mass media PR tricks. If you attempt to manage reputation rather than actually earn one. If you treat this as a broadcasting platform – then your impact will be precisely the opposite of that which you intend.
If this is the way that you intend to approach PR in the online world – then welcome: we are here to crucify you. Far better you had stayed away.
How to do PR on Twitter
It is possible to do PR on Twitter. But PR doesn't mean what you think it means.
If you're willing to engage in debate and individual discussion in a way that addresses rather than hides problems, and you are willing to spend the time developing a reputation one person at a time – then welcome to the conversation.
Otherwise – go to hell.

Wow... I am wide awake! Might have something to do with not being up for 12 hours yet... hmmm... And so I have the energy to bring you the next instalment AKA post, yay : ), that is unless I pass out from the smoke fumes that are filling my room! The coil is supposed to smoke the mozzies out, not me! Actually already feeling drowsy... I'll have to type fast!
Ok, so the first thing I would like to share with you is this photo I took of the sunset – you may have noticed by now that I enjoy the many wonders of the sky and things in nature like flowers and what not. They make me smile : ) because I can see God's creativity in the vast variety, his care in providing food and water, and his power in keeping everything in its right place like keeping the stars far away so we don't shrivel up and die! Oh so pretty from far away... Have you ever seen soo many stars that you feel like you could just pluck one out of the sky? When the milkyway actually looks creamy white and chunky with stars, just like the chocolate bar (minus the stars)? Have you seen shooting stars, just like God is putting on his very own fireworks show? If you haven't, stop now and have a look outside, stop what youre doing and take a peep into the vastness out there. And in the holidays plan a trip to somewhere nice and remote where there isn't much light pollution – so away from the city peeps! - and lay down on the grass and have a gaze into the amazingness that God has created. He has truly blessed us with soo many great things : ).
"All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord endures forever." (1 Peter 1:24)
Tonight at bible study we were looking at the important of reading the Bible, and it has fired me up! I'm pumped for reading the truth, for reading God's word which is everlasting, that doesn't change, that saves! And so now, like a newborn baby I'm going to desire to have more of the perspective to be dependent on God's word, to read it each day for survival – and not just to read it but to think about it, study it, share it and to strive to put it into practice and to remember it throughout the day. At the moment I'm reading from the book of James, with the help of Dickson with Vital Signs and it has been great! This morning I read James 1:16-18, and it was a good reminder that all things are from God, he provides all that I need, and so I cannot boast. It's very humbling and it's a great reminder of how generous God is!
Until next time,
Your friend Liz : )
P.S. I'm getting baptised this weekend : D
P.P.S. I'm starting my own business, so stay tuned!

It is a known news that Akkineni Nagarjuna and Tamil actor Karthi are playing the lead roles in an untitled bilingual under the direction of Vamshy Padipalli. The unit has wrapped up the first schedule last month after shooting some important scenes in Chennai. This movie is touted to be inspired from a French movie, The Intouchables, a comedy-drama which involves the relationship between a paralysis patient and his caregiver.

Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson
I tipped my head to one side and there they were: three stars, bright as a promise. But instead of giving off the crystal wind-chime noise that had soothed me since childhood, they sang an eerie, piercing harmony unlike anything I'd heard before. And their colors were strange, too. The first star burned blue neon, the second electric green, and the third... p. 38
A little more than two sentences, but it's my first time! I'm almost finished Ultraviolet and I'm loving it! Hope you enjoyed this teaser!

Satellite Laboratories > Cairo, Egypt
Rio de Janeiro | Perth | Shenandoah | Muscat | Lafayette | Dammam | Calgary
Isotech's satellite laboratory in Cairo opened in November 2007. A unique affiliation with StratoChem Services, an Egyptian firm who had been working with Isotech since 2000, enables us to bring our expertise in isotopic analysis to one of the richest oil regions in the world.
Located inside StratoChem's headquarters in Cairo, the satellite laboratory provides Isotech quality data for clients in the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe without the cost and delays resulting from the shipment of samples to our headquarters in Champaign, Illinois, USA.
The satellite laboratory is remotely monitored and controlled via the Internet. Instruments in Cairo are calibrated daily and outputs are transmitted directly to our Champaign lab for analyses where the data review and calibration is carried out by the same scientists who have been regularly performing this function for many years. Findings are then reported back to clients by StratoChem, usually within days, rather than weeks.
The satellite lab provides compositional analysis, plus continuous-flow carbon isotope analysis of CO2 and C1 to C5 hydrocarbons, and hydrogen isotope analysis of C1—all with the same quality generated in our Champaign facility.
For further information, including pricing for analyses and sampling products, please contact StratoChem Services.

New Delhi, Dec 15, 2016 : With oil prices at the international market hitting $55 a barrel, oil companies in India are likely to hike the prices of petrol and diesel on Thursday.
Oil companies may take the hike decision after their meeting today.
Twice a month, on 15 and 30/31, oil companies either hike or reduce the prices of fuel in India depending on the international market and the INR-USD exchange rate
And with the rupee hitting 67 against the US dollar and the price of crude oil in international market hitting USD 55 per barrel, it is very likely that the prices of petrol
and diesel could be hiked.
Moreover, with the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) cutring production of crude oil by 1.2 million barrels per day (mpbd) for the first time since 2008, fuel prices in India are likely to rise in the next 3-4 months, a report said earlier.
As OPEC agreed to cut production of oil for the first time since 2008 in a last-ditch bid to support prices, the prices of Brent oil hit USD 54.56 a barrel, the biggest weekly gain since 2009.
And with this rise in international crude oil price, Crisil Research expects the price of petrol to rise 5-8 percent and that of diesel by 6-8 percent over the next 3-4 months.

Aerosol Coatings and Spray Paint VOCs Reduction
Aerosol Spray Paints - VOC Reduction for clear coatings, nonflat coatings, and primers(11/16/07) A new national regulation will help further reduce smog-forming emissions from aerosol spray paints – paints such as clear coatings, nonflat coatings, and primers used by the consumer.
The regulation, the first nationwide rule for aerosol spray paints, limits emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which react with nitrogen oxides to form ground-level ozone, or smog. The new rule focuses on reducing the VOCs with the highest ozone-forming potential, which also is known as reactivity.
EPA modeled the rule on the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) reactivity-based regulation for aerosol coatings. Nearly 85 percent of the spray paints used in the United States are produced by three companies, which already are meeting the CARB requirements.
National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings - Final RuleThe new national regulation will provide flexibility for paint producers, especially smaller ones who may produce niche products, by allowing them to choose the VOCs they reduce, provided they meet emissions limits. Previous regulations focused on reducing the compounds by mass, without regard to their smog-forming potential.
The new requirements also apply to imported paint sold in the United States, which must meet the VOC limits by Jan. 1, 2009, the compliance date for the rule. Manufacturers that can demonstrate they produce aerosol paints containing less than 7,500 kilograms (8.3 tons) of VOCs annually are not covered by this regulation.

We have NONE. None around here.ReplyDelete
I see so many posts about fabulous flea markets and barn sales ... wish I could just jump in my own little car and travel to one!
Have Fun!!!
I'm jealous; that one's not too terribly far for me, but I would love to go to one. Be sure and take lots of pictures and show us what treasures you came home with!!!ReplyDelete
Have a great time! Jodi
I've been hearing about this one on JunkMarket Style, and so many from that site will be there, tell them I said, "hI", lol. I know you will have a great time, like Jodi said, take lots of pics and happy hunting! I hear about a lot of sales from blogs, too. I try to advertise for the local ones. LezleeReplyDelete
I wish I could come too! It is near impossible to find vintage goodies in my part of the world... I can't wait to see what you find! Have a fun time! XReplyDelete
That sounds like so much fun. Around here flea markets are pretty much a summer thing, so I'm in withdrawl right now. Wish we had an indoor one. BTW, I find estate sales on Craigslist and auctions on an auction website. Have a great time!ReplyDelete
Wish I could tag along! Have fun!!ReplyDelete
Oooh how fun! I hope you find a treasure or three Robin.ReplyDelete
Hi Robin, I hope you had fun and found some interesting items!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. You asked me how I attached the crocheted lace to the towels. I don't have a sewing machine, so I just sewed it on by hand with tiny accurate stitches.
- AnonymousMarch 4, 2011 at 9:58 PM
Hope you find some fun things on your wish list! I love a good flea market. I've been itching to go, too. They are pretty much seasonal here. I haven't been to a flea market or barn sale since last summer.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see what you find! :) ~M
Hope you have a great time, Robin! I'm jealous! lol! Our flea markets don't start til May.....We find out about them because they're held the same weekends during the year in the same towns! Easy peasy! lol!ReplyDelete
xoxo laurie
Hope you were lucky and found some great things! I need a little retail therapy too. Thanks for your list of favorite flowers. We have such dry hot weather here in Utah some things don't do very well here. But Zinnias do great and I'm going to try some pinks this year. Good idea about the Dahlias. Just replant! I always feel guilty when I don't get them out of the dirt in time. So looking forward to spring this year. MimiReplyDelete

Feeling good
You know, when I made up my mind to read more of what I have already and buy less new books, I wasn't sure I could. I felt all squirrely just thinking about it. I am so used to a 'see it, buy it' mentality. Having an e-reader doesn't help. One click and it's mine. No trips to the bookshop. I don't even have to put my coat on. I love that feature but it's been my downfall too. My book buying budget has probably tripled since I got my e-reader. And it wasn't that small to begin with. I'm pretty sure it's the same for a lot of readers out there. And book blogs have just made it 100 times worse. They are such enablers of my buying habit, it's not even funny.
Here is how it usually goes…
I see a book on one site and it gets a good review. My ears prick up. I click over to the next blog and another review, and suddenly the smell of it is in my nose. Hands twitch. But I stop myself and I go on clicking and I distract myself. But the facts get squirreled away in the brain. Couple of days later, I see another review. This one maybe not so glowing as the other two, but it also gives me a different perspective. Now, it's like I've got it in my sights. I click over to Goodreads. Check out the rating. I'll have a look at what people have to say, specifically looking at the poor ratings and if I see nothing too upsetting, it's a click away to my pusher/dealer. Usually my go-to guy is Fictionwise but occasionally he's out, so I have to go further afield but eventually I'll track it down and then it's mine. I've chased it down. I then have that moment of buyer's euphoria. Perfect.
After that, I have to upload it onto Rafael (my Sony e-reader) making sure all the metadata is correct (Title, author, series title and cover I like best. Sometimes the UK ones are nicer you know…) and then I usually get distracted by something and I forget all about it. Or I might have bought 10 books at once (which is a more common occurrence than I care to admit) and you can't read them simultaneously so some get forgotten about. This is how the famed readers TBR pile comes into existence.
I've blogged about mine before. It's getting so big it's starting to make me anxious. I feel guilty when I buy new books, because I already have so many. Who could possibly read this amount of books in one lifetime? Why do I need more? And yet I keep buying and not reading. It is a habit. A hard one to break.
But I think I may be getting there. So far this year I haven't bought any new books. My resolution was that I had to read 5 of my TBR pile before I could buy 1 new book. I've read 10 books so far this month (silver lining of being unemployed.) Is it sad that I do feel better? I'm feeling less anxious. I feel happier about my book choices and I feel much less guilty about the amount of money I was spending on books. Pressure I didn't even realize was there has lifted slightly. I feel like I am making inroads in this massive pile. I'm able to relax and maybe enjoy and savour my books a little more. I have read 650+ books in 2008/2009. That 's an average of 325 books a year. Who does that? Is it normal? Part of that was I felt I had to keep reading to get the numbers down. I have discovered a new favourite author and series. Does it matter that I have my 2 book already picked out? No. I might even see if I can wait until the end of the month and do all my buying then.
We'll see if this new resolution lasts. I make it every year. But right now, I'm feeling good about it.

We all know the story. When you're a kid time seems to stand still. As you enter adolescence time slows or speeds up depending on the situation. Then you finally reach 21 and the world is your oyster or so you think it's the time of your life. It's the age where your parents are suddenly stupid. Then you begin to realize things are more complicated than you thought. And then you turn thirty.
You no longer wish for time to hurry now you see it vanishing almost before your eyes. This is where you have the realization that time is no longer on your side (nor is it on Mick Jaggers side anymore) and you wish you could at least slow it down. The words you heard as a kid come back to haunt you saying, "time only goes faster as you age".
As time passes albeit more rapidly with every day you begin to see the need to set priorities and you begin to see the value in pictures and video recordings that account for time spent. Do you have regrets, no not many though time is now somewhat of an enemy? We all begin to wonder how to stop time from vanishing?
There is no simple solution or answer but you can document the important events in your life before they slip away if you haven't already recorded them. That doesn't slow things down but this way you retain the memories indefinitely. If you're hard pressed to remember what slow moving time is like try doing some tedious tasks that are repetitious.
To better appreciate your time try living like this is the first day and the last day of your life. It will bring a new fresh perspective to everything you do. Cherish the time with loved ones including pets. Make time for family quality time. Many of us skip vacations because we're too busy, buried in our jobs and trying to "make hay" for a rainy day. Try to take a vacation every year and in Arizona, you may want to include a weekend getaway from the heat too.
Pink Floyd had a classic in the 70's called Time if you haven't heard it speaks of life this way at times through an existentialist viewpoint but entertaining for most none the less. The song spoke to me as ten years got behind me since high school.Dealing with time is something we all have to work out in our own way. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Apress publishes the Pro Drupal Development book.
"Apress was founded by authors Gary Cornell and Dan Appleman. Its original name was Author's Press, shortened to APress, then Apress. In 2003, Apress purchased much of the intellectual property of the designer-oriented publisher Friends of ED. Apress books, for the most part, are characterized by a uniform yellow and black design. Topics covered relate largely to programming issues, on both proprietary and open source platforms, although hardware hacking is also a theme. Authors include Andrew Troelsen, Andy Budd, Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek, Michael A. Banks, Keir Thomas, Jessica Livingston, Bob Walsh, and Joel Spolsky. Their books are distributed worldwide by Springer-Verlag. In 2007 it was announced that Apress is now fully part of Springer, where prior to this Springer had had a minority stake1, and in 2009 Apress' offices in Berkeley, California closed and the business moved to Springer's headquarters in New York." – quoted from Wikipedia.com

In some ways, it's disappointing that more people aren't hanging on my every blog post, eager to check in every day...or week, to see what I have or haven't found worthy of a post, but even more so, it's a little daunting that a handful of you get these as daily emails. I imagine they are somewhat like the daily, or worse, Facebook status updates you get from some people you consistently wonder why you agreed to be their friend, since their updates and Farmville requests consistently annoy you...but about very 37th post, they say or write something that makes you think, "Oh, right, OK, that was vaguely cute. I'll keep you on a little bit longer."
The other thing I was thinking in terms of this blog, is that I really should post something besides my things like my ruminations on the many uses, or lack thereof, of the word "disabuse", and instead tell stories from my past, like the baseball "discussion" I had with Richard Nixon or even the many Presidents I've seen in person from further than a handshake away, or the time I snuck into the Fenway Park locker room and was dimed out by Bob Uecker, or my 4871 mile bike trip, or when I gave the now wife of the head of the Federal Reserve a ride in my beat up VW bug from West Philly to City Hall, or played racquetball with a Pulitzer Prize winner or watched a full period of hockey sitting alone with Gordie Howe or are they just the kinds of stories people tell that you listen to, the whole time wondering why the person could possibly think you had the least interest in hearing it?
So, yeah, sometimes I think about those things too, not just the word disabuse.
