While at his SUPRA Spectre sneaker launch party in Miami last night, Lil Wayne sat down with MTV to talk about sports. Weezy F Baby says he thinks that LeBron James and the Miami Heat are the favorites to win the NBA championship this year. He also shares his thoughts on Jason Collins announcing that he is gay.
It looks like Tunechi‘s past with Miami Heat has not affected the way that he examines the sport. You can watch the interview after the jump below.

For over 50 years, entertainers have flocked to Manuel Cuevas to create their clothing. From Elvis' signature gold suit to Dwight Yoakam's famous rhinestone embedded bolero jacket that graced the cover of his 1987 album Hillbilly Deluxe, Manuel outfits stars with perfect tailoring and a whole lot of sparkle. His showstopping designs have earned him the title of the "Rhinestone Rembrandt," but to friends, celebrities, music icons and world dignitaries, he's known by just one name: Manuel.
Manuel was born in Mexico in the central-western town of Coalcomán. He started sewing at the age of seven.
He says making clothes was his destiny.
"I guess it was mainly a calling," Manuel tells Wide Open Country. "I sat down at the sewing machine and I never got up."
At the age of 12, Manuel started making prom dresses for the neighborhood girls. Even then, he saw the need for original style.
"I was looking at all the prom dresses and 'sweet sixteen' (dresses) and all theses things over there in Mexico," Manuel says. "I thought 'why do they all look alike? I can change that.' So I got into making gowns for the girls, charging a small fortune for it. They all loved them, and they all liked me, and they made me as rich as I could be."
After making all the prom dresses he could handle, Manuel set out to Los Angeles, Calif. and quickly fell in with heavy hitters in the fashion industry who recognized his raw talent. One such fashion maven was famed Hollywood costume designer Edith Head. Through his friendship with Head, Manuel created wardrobes for over 90 movies and 13 television shows, creating everything from James Dean's jeans in "Giant" to the Lone Ranger's iconic mask.
"I was introduced to a lot of personalities and a lot of stars as you might call them, but to me they were just actors and people trying to make a living," Manuel says.
He spent his early years in Hollywood working for Sy Devore, a well-known Los Angeles tailor who made suits for the Rat Pack. But tailoring suit after suit didn't interest Manuel, even if they were for Frank Sinatra. He wanted the flash and razzle dazzle of stage wear--something that would stop folks in their tracks.
Enter Nudie Cohn, the free-wheeling owner of Nudie's Rodeo Tailors in Northern Hollywood. Nudie, who followed in the footsteps of western wear makers like Nathan Turk and Rodeo Ben, recognized Manuel's skill and quickly hired him to work in his shop. Many of the famous "Nudie suits," the flamboyant, rhinestone adorned, intricately embroidered outfits that were the hallmark of 1950s and 60s country fashion, were designed and created by Manuel.
In his 14 years at Nudie's Rodeo Tailors, Manuel became head designer and eventually partner of the business. He married Nudie's daughter, Barbara, and had a daughter, Moriela.
He had a client list most designers would kill for. He dressed Hank Williams, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Johnny Cash, Porter Wagoner, country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons and hundreds in between. But for all his success, the designer says he's always valued his friendships with the clients and the art of his unique creations above all else.
"I was not too much for fame, and I was not too much for money," Manuel says. "I fell in love with the clothes."
In 1975, after Barbara and Manuel divorced, Manuel left Nudie's Rodeo Tailors and opened Manuel Couture just down the street. It wasn't long before country came calling again.
Many of Manuel's country clients followed him to Manuel Couture. His kinship with the country music community only grew in the following decade. Young traditionalists such as Marty Stuart and Dwight Yoakam wanted their own spin on the Manuel-made creations like their heroes had worn.
Country artists love Manuel and he loves them right back.
"I know that the Marty Stuarts, the Dwight Yoakams, George Jones, Johnny Cash -- all these beautiful people, those are the apostles of music," Manuel says. "I just love them. I love the history."
One apostle of music, Johnny Cash, was one of Manuel's closest friends.
"We knew each other not as artist and designer but as friends and that's what I really enjoyed," Manuel says. "He knew how to part the waters of the river. We would get quiet when he walked into a room. We had that much respect."
In 1956, Cash requested that Manuel create a wardrobe for his upcoming tour. Inspired by Cash's commanding presence and often somber on-stage demeanor, Manuel chose one defining color for the suits.
"(Cash) said 'You made me nine outfits and they're all black, what's this?' I said 'Well, brother, there was a sale on black fabric.' Of course I was kidding him."
Cash loved the clothes. When ordering another round of suits, the newly-minted Man in Black told Manuel "the color is no longer in question."
Out of all of Manuel's famous designs, there's still one that stands out above the rest--at least in the eyes of the public.
Worn by Gram Parsons on the cover of the Flying Burrito Brothers' 1969 album The Gilded Palace of Sin, the white suit adorned with marijuana leaves, poppies, prescription pills and a giant cross has long captivated music fans worldwide. Though it's referred to as a Nudie suit, the design was all Manuel. And given the response he still gets regarding garment, Manuel suspects it may be the most famous suit in the world.
"Everywhere I go (it's) 'Oh my God, Gram Parsons! Gram Parsons!' They don't even know the trash I went through after I made that outfit for him. The protesters, everybody was like 'how do you dare to put marijuana plants or whatever (on the suit)," Manuel says. "(Gram) was a little ahead of his time and so was I. He was a young man. I was the old man."
At 83, Manuel is still going strong. Now operating out of his shop in downtown Nashville, the fiercely original designer still rejects mass production and refuses to make the same garment twice.
"Only one-of-a-kind," Manuel says. "People say 'Will you make me something like you did for Robert Redford.' I say 'Are you kidding me? Find another person to do a copy of that. I don't do those things'."
Today, getting a custom piece from Manuel is still the dream for any Nashville newcomer. Thankfully, Manuel's door at 800 Broadway is open. He's ready for the next customer, ready to create his next one-of-a-kind outfit.
For Manuel, making clothing is still about connecting to the person inside the suit, whether it's the Man in Black or the next rising star.
"More than anything else, I just want to be part of them."

Instead of an ordinary spring mechanism, the model uses a gas cylinder. It gives you extra clearance space, making it easier to transport large boxes. The heavy-duty hinges not only help the ladder unfold smoothly but also keep it from wobbling as you climb.
The ladder is difficult to install by yourself.
Louisville Ladder deserves its "elite" title. The 3-1/4-inch deep steps increase stability. The adjustable shoes make it really easy to fit this attic ladder with any type of flooring. All in all, the model will help any homeowner reach his/her additional storage space with safety and comfort.
The S-shape side elements make the ladder elegant and serve as handrails for safety and comfort.
Plump users might hit the opening with their back while climbing the ladder.
This ceiling ladder is a winner for those having little kids. They will be able to climb up and down safely owing to the non-slip steps.
Each step of the ladder is reinforced with a wire rod that provides stiffness and reliability of the entire structure.
The model is unfit for houses with a high ceiling.
The Louisville S254P is a great pick because of its high quality and safety, as well as a wallet-friendly price.
The non-marring feet are great for people who use the ladder on a frequent basis. The assist pole helps you close and open the door in a much safer and more convenient fashion. The oversized handrail lets you climb the stairs without worrying about your safety.
Doesn't include a door or a frame box.
Werner AA1510 installs into any opening 18" x 24" or larger. The size, along with the lightweight and telescopic construction, makes the model particularly suitable for hallways, closets, and other types of tight spaces. Made of aluminum, the attic ladder is durable and impact-resistant.
It's one of the few models with a reversible handrail. This element offers considerable convenience and adjustability.
An unusual way of opening and closing this ladder requires some skills and may be a bit inconvenient it the beginning.
These pull-down attic stairs excellently fit the rooms with the ceilings up to 10'8" high. If you are the admirer of high-quality wooden products, don't miss this model!
"Elite attic ladder" is a bit of a dubious claim to make. We aren't the biggest fans of these lofty titles. But, if we had to give it to one of these models, it would have to be this Louisville Ladder.
On one hand, it's the big things, like the model's maximum load capability of 375 pounds. As you'd imagine, the ridiculous load capacity of this ladder makes it particularly suitable for people that are on the ever so slightly heavier side of the weight spectrum. Of course, it will also allow you to carry heavy items to the attic without worrying about our safety.
More often than not, the "elite" title also demands a certain aesthetic and, for the most part, the model delivers on that front. It is nothing too fancy as far as we can tell but the elegant and smooth finish makes the aluminum ladder look sharp and about as sleek as a ladder can look.
But, first and foremost, what we like about this model is a number of user-friendly features that make it so comfortable and convenient. The adjustable spring tension will help you customize it according to your needs and preferences. The ergonomic T-handle will keep you safe as you climb the ladder.
One thing about this model that we definitely couldn't overlook is the fact that it allows a much wider clearance, a nice little adjustment that will help you effortlessly reach the attic. Instead of an ordinary spring mechanism, the model uses a gas cylinder. This cylinder is the key to the increase in clearance. Naturally, the extra clearance space will also make it easier to transport large boxes.
But that isn't its only advantage. In addition to the increased clearance, the cylinder allows for much smoother opening and closing of the door, mostly because it reduces the force that's required with those standard spring-operated attic doors. The gas cylinder design is also responsible for eliminating the destructive and simply annoying door slamming.
Other than the cylinder, the model also boasts reinforced, grooved steps. These steps ensure maximum traction without sacrificing user comfort in return. The heavy-duty hinges that the ladder incorporates not only help it unfold smoothly but also keep the ladder from wobbling as you climb. Finally, the slip-resistant cross-tread steps add as much to comfort as they do to user safety.
All things considered, we'd say that Louisville Ladder deserves its "elite" title. The 3-1/4-inch deep steps increase stability. The adjustable shoes make it really easy to fit this attic ladder with any type of flooring. All in all, it will help any homeowner reach his/her additional storage space with safety and comfort.
Pull-down ladders, just like the FAKRO LST 66875, gained immense popularity among customers thanks to their usability features and trendy look. Such ladders work best for confined places where there's not a lot of free space and where there's no option to keep it permanently. Hidden behind the attic door when not in use it doesn't take any extra inch of your living space yet provides a convenient way of accessing the loft.
There are many things that people like about this ladder. The first what atttacts attention is unique ladder's design. The S-shaped side elements that here serve as handrails add style to the whole construction, setting it apart from many of its counterparts. The ladder stairs alongside the rails are made of rust-resistant stainless steel, while the door and the frame are wooden. The maximum load capacity of the ladder here is equal to 300 lbs and this makes it a universal product.
Let's say a few words about the safety features of this ceiling ladder. To keep the warmth and prevent the cold air from getting inside your place, the door has been fitted with insulated panels. When watching the folding mechanism work, we liked that it didn't lag and opened smoothly on a pull. The lock enables at the moment when the door goes back to the initial position, so it's not going to fall back on you. We also liked that the steps here are grooved and non-skid. If you've got kids who love to play around climbing up and down the stairs, you won't need to worry if you use the FAKRO.
The Lousville S254P is a medium-priced but truly worthy attic ladder. A lot of people opt for wooden products as they are often much more versatile than metal ones. Speaking of ladders, wooden ladders look much more elegant, and you can always color them to match the renovated interior of your room.
The Lousville S254P offers compact and discreet installation (just like the majority of folding ladders). What may disclose the presence of the loft in your house though, are the door on the ceiling and the T-shaped handgrip on it that you need to pull.
This ladder has been produced in America and this only fact already speaks about its quality. You will definitely like it once you step on it. The heavy-duty hinges open smoothly and securely hold the sections of the ladder. The handrail on the ladder facilitates its climbing up and down. To ensure your more comfortable use, the steps here are made to be furrowed so that you feet didn't slip and you could climb them up more confidently. Meanwhile, to make them durable and long-lasting, the manufacturer used a wire rod for each of the steps.
Most things around us have their own history. Ladders aren't an exception. The first mentioning of ladders is found in the writings of ancient Egyptians and goes back to the 4th millennium B.C. After all, even the great pyramids look like ladders! The structures of ladders were also found in Assyria. Built more than 5,000 years ago, the palace of Darius the Great had stairs with carved pictures of people and animals. During the Renaissance, ladders were amply decorated to fit the posh interiors of that time. The craftsmen designed unmatched ladders and adorned them with columns and forged handrails.
Though it has its flaws, we can't say that we dislike the Werner AA1510 attic ladder. For starters, it is a telescopic ladder and that already makes the model a little bit more versatile than its foldable counterparts.
It is also really lightweight. The ladder weighs a smidge above 15 pounds, so you'll easily be able to carry it around. And you probably will want to carry it around as the model effortlessly installs into small openings, providing access to untapped storage space. The size, weight, and the telescopic construction make the model particularly suitable for hallways, closets, and other types of tight spaces.
Of course, it is the size that makes the ladder fit those spaces, the weight that makes it easier for you to carry the ladder from one space to the other, and the telescopic design that gives you that quick and hassle-free access to smaller attic openings.
But it's not like it doesn't have anything going for it other than the basis of its construction. Sure, as we've said earlier, it has its flaws. For one, the model doesn't include a door, which is a bit of a shame if you ask us. But it does include hardware for the door, so if you don't already own one, you'll only have to buy the attic door itself. The maximum load capacity here is relatively limited. Then again, 250 pounds for a ladder like that will prove more than enough in most cases.
There aren't that many things different about ladders, so you really have to look for the small details to find the best deals. Here, those little details include non-marring feet. It may not sound like much but it is the perfect adjustment that you can add to the ladder for people who use it on a frequent basis. Plus, it makes the whole thing far more durable as feet deformation is often one of the first signs of failure with attic ladders.
You can also add to that list the assist pole. Sure, it's not a game changer, but it does help you close and open the door in a much safer and more convenient fashion.
Speaking of comfort and safety, we definitely couldn't gloss over the convenient oversized handrail. Again, it's nothing we haven't seen before, but plenty of attic ladder manufacturers forget to include this little accessory and we have absolutely no idea why. It keeps you safe, it helps you climb the stairs, and it's not like it takes up any space or makes the product worse from the appearance standpoint.
In short, the Werner AA1510 installs into any opening 18" x 24" or larger. Made of aluminum, the attic ladder is durable and impact-resistant. Considering the relatively modest price tag that it comes with, the model is not a half-bad deal, we can definitely tell you that much.
Live in a Room With a High Ceiling? Pick This Ladder!
People who adore wooden hardware will surely appreciate this 66809 ceiling ladder from FAKRO. Although metal attic stairs are regarded to be sturdier, this model is nearly as good as they are. After all, it looks fabulous in any interior. We believe, not every aluminum ladder can boast such a trendy look. Generally, this ladder is designed for rooms with the ceilings as high as 10’8”. Let's note that the FAKRO 66809 belongs to foldable models and is incredibly easy to collapse and retract. The ladder's door is perfectly balanced and opens smoothly.
These attic stairs are made of high-quality pine wood, hence they look great, particularly if you live in a wooden house. The manufacturer assures that the model meets all technical requirements and safety regulations for such ladders. The grooved steps provide a good grip for your feet, thus you won't slip or fall off it even if you wear slippers. In addition, the package includes a red handrail that you should install for safety purposes. By the way, you can mount it on either side of the ladder.
As we have mentioned before, this attic ladder is suitable for people who like wood. It is not for nothing since wood has some real benefits. It provides a wonderful sound insulation and retains heat well thanks to a low thermal conductivity. This ladder has a rubber insulating pad on the door, protecting your house against drafts. The model's weight capacity is 300 lbs and it's a great result for a wooden attic ladder. It means that it's safe for even fairly big and plump users to climb up and down this attic ladder without any troubles. Amazing and stylish choice!
Living in a big detached house is not only a pleasure but also a luxury, because aside from a spacios living space a homeowner has a lot of options as to where to store different things (and many things). Storing stuff in the attic is perhaps the most popular choice. Though we do not doubt you have at least one ladder in your household, the fact that you've come in this place tells us you may be willing yourself a new one. For those consumers who prefer keeping things up in the attic rather than piling them in a wardrobe, we've picked five great attic ladders which can replace your old one, becoming a decoration element in your living room. We've selected five ladders that differ by size, designs, and folding mechanisms and hope you'll find one that will be right for you.
While on the note of ladders, we'd recommend you to go through our top picks of step ladders and telescopic ladders too so you know all the options and choose the most suitable one for your needs.
You should know some aspects before choosing an attic ladder. The ladders vary in design and there are 3 major types of them: folding, pull-down, and telescoping.
Folding ladders consist of three or four sections that fold up into a compact block stored under the ceiling. Folding ladders can be made of wood or aluminum.
Pull-down ladders have a multi-lever design which unfolds once the ladder's been dragged down. Pull-down ladders are produced only from metal.
Telescoping ladders, just like the name says, have a construction similar to a spyglass. They usually consist of several sections that slide into one another and are made of aluminum to be lightweight.
Next, pay attention to the load capacity and what material the attic ladder is made of. These parameters are very important since they can tell you how safe the ladder will be and whether all your family members will be able to use it. Most users tend to opt for ladders with the maximum load bearing capacity, which is a good idea, seeing that you will often need to move bulky things to the loft. Alumimum ladders are a popular choice as they are quite lightweight, yet rigid and corrosion-resistant. Wooden ladders are another alternative that besides sturdiness offer a more elegant look.
Finally, you should consider the dimensions of the chosen ladder. Measure the opening in your ceiling and check whether the model will fit it. If you're only about to have the opening done, you should decide on its location and size before buying a ladder, not other way round. You'd also need to measure the height between the ceiling and the floor to be able to pick the ladder of the right length. The dimensions are always specified by manufacturers, so, it shouldn't be a difficult task to choose the one you need. We'd also recommend you to consider buying a ladder with wider steps.

What happens if you don't have a power of attorney?
If there comes a time in the future when you don’t have the mental capacity to make or communicate your own decisions, and you haven’t created a valid lasting power of attorney or enduring power of attorney, it may be necessary for the Court of Protection to become involved.
What happens if I lose capacity and don’t have a power of attorney?
Can someone apply to be a deputy?
What if no one can speak for me?
If you’re married or in a civil partnership, you may have assumed that your spouse would automatically be able to deal with your bank accounts and pensions, and make decisions about your health and care, if you lose the ability to do so. This is not the case.
If you lose the capacity to make your own decisions and you don’t have a valid lasting power of attorney or enduring power of attorney, you will need to apply to the Court of Protection.
appoint a deputy to make decisions on behalf of someone who lacks mental capacity.
A deputy is a similar role to that of attorney. They must follow the same principles as an attorney to make sure decisions are made in your best interests.
There are two types of deputy: property and financial affairs deputy and personal welfare deputy. Personal welfare deputies are usually only appointed in rare circumstances, for example where those providing care or treatment disagree on what to do in the person’s best interests.
The court order will set out the extent of the deputy’s authority to act, so they must always make sure they are not exceeding their powers. A deputy also has a duty to act in good faith and not to take advantage of their position for their own benefit.
You can’t choose your own attorney and the process of appointing one can be lengthy and costly. It’s much better to put a lasting power of attorney in place while you still can.
Someone who wants to make decisions on your behalf can apply to the Court of Protection to be appointed as deputy. The Court will consider whether it is necessary for ongoing decisions to be made on your behalf, and whether that person is suitable to be appointed to that role. The Court usually does everything by post, rather than holding a hearing.
If you have an existing enduring power of attorney, the attorney may apply to act as a deputy in certain circumstances.
If, in the future, you’re unable to make certain important decisions and there’s no one who’s able to speak on your behalf, such as a family member or friend, an independent mental capacity advocate (IMCA) must be instructed to protect your rights.
In this situation, an IMCA must be involved in decisions about serious medical treatment or a change of accommodation. They may also be involved in decisions relating to a care review or adult protection procedures. The staff in the NHS or your local council – for example, doctors, social workers or care home staff – are responsible for instructing an IMCA.

Convenience, efficiency, security and safety, all with an amazing user-experience.
Poor lighting can not only affect your productivity, but it can also affect your mood and motivation. Yet, just having bright illumination is not the only concern; different tasks require different levels and types of light. Our lighting systems provide the highest level of control to ensure you get the right lighting for the right experience.
We combine the power of Lutron’s lighting systems with the user-friendliness of Savant’s control system to produce a world-class experience.
One example of this is a “close” setting: with a single button, turn off all interior office lights, arm your security system and turn on security/safety lights when you leave for the day. Then, have it automatically reverse when your business opens. You can also remotely monitor and adjust your business’ lighting, whether it’s a single room or whole building, from anywhere, even when you’re miles away.

Vanilla Blueberry Cake Roll - Chocolate Chocolate and More!
Fresh blueberry and lemon curd filling in a vanilla sponge cake topped with powdered sugar and whipped cream. Vanilla Blueberry Cake Roll is a simple dessert that can be served for breakfast or afternoon tea.
Spring is a time for berries. When I was a kid, we had strawberries growing under the water tap in the back yard. Every time someone turned on the tap, a little water would leak from the hose and water the berries. It was the perfect spot for strawberries so we always had lots of large, sweet strawberries. Our neighbors had raspberry bushes and we used to sneak raspberries from those too.
Texas is too hot and alkaline for raspberries and strawberries don’t do well here either. I did have a blackberry bush in my yard but it died while I was away in Cambodia. I’ll replace it when I get back next time. Joan was lucky to have a neighbor with HUGE blueberry bushes so she always had a nice supply in the spring.
In the meantime, I buy my berries at Costco. They’re so cheap and plentiful there. They had fresh blueberries last week so I couldn’t resist. It took me a few days to decide what to do with my precious blueberries but I thought a simple cake roll would be fun.
Vanilla Blueberry Cake Roll starts with a simple sponge cake. The great thing about this recipe is the sponge cake is very flexible and doesn’t need to be rolled up while it cools. Because the sponge cake is thin, it cooks and cools quickly so you can make this cake in about 1 hour. I made the filling while the cake was baking and refrigerated the filling while the cake cooled.
Rolling the cake is easy. Just start one end and then pull the parchment paper upwards to roll it the rest of the way. The sponge cake is very flexible so you don’t have to worry about cracks while you roll.
There are some simple changes you can make to change this recipe up.
For a gluten-free version, substitute almond flour for the all purpose flour in the recipe.
For a more lemony cake, substitute lemon extract for vanilla and add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the cake.
Almond flavoring also works well in this cake but use it sparingly. You can add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract to the recipe if you like almond.
Served plain, vanilla blueberry cake roll makes a lovely breakfast. Dress it up with a little whipped cream for dessert or afternoon coffee.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil a half sheet jelly roll pan (12" x 16" x 1" -- large cookie sheet size). Cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit in bottom of the pan. Place the parchment sheet on top of the oiled bottom and then oil the parchment sheet. Set aside.
Beat egg yolks and ⅔ cup sugar until light and thick (about 3 minutes).
Add in vanilla, salt and flour.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar. Continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining ⅓ cup sugar and beat until stiff but not dry peaks form.
Fold egg white meringue into egg yolk mixture one third at a time. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Top should spring back when lightly touched.
While the cake is baking, prepare the blueberry filling.
When the cake has cooled to warm (not hot), loosen the edges with a sharp knife. Dust the top lightly with powdered sugar and place a piece of parchment paper on top. Invert the pan with the parchment paper on top onto a cooling rack.
Peel off the oiled parchment paper and let the cake cool completely (about 15 minutes).
Spread blueberry filling over the top of the cake leaving about 1 inch at the end (it will fill in when you roll the cake).
Beginning at the other end of the cake, roll the cake. I started rolling the cake like I would some wrapping paper for one turn. Then I used the parchment paper to finish the rolling by just lifting up the end.
You can tighten the roll by folding the parchment paper around the outside of the cake so that both ends of the parchment paper touch on the side with the seam. Place a ruler (or straight edge) on the top sheet of parchment paper near the bottom of the cake (it should be parallel to the cake). Hold the bottom sheet and push the ruler (and top parchment paper) under the bottom of the cake.
Wrap the cake in the parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, place cake on serving plate and remove parchment paper. Dust with powdered sugar and/or top with whipped cream and fresh blueberries.
Place all ingredients except lemon curd in a medium sauce pan. Heat on medium high until blueberries soften and mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Smash most of the blueberries with a spoon while heating.
Remove from heat and add lemon curd. Refrigerate until ready to spread on cake.
For a gluten free option, replace all purpose flour with almond flour.
This sounds like a lovely Spring dessert! I do believe you meant egg yolks in step 2. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for catching that mistake Misha. I’ve fixed it now.
What else can be used in place of lemon curd?
Hi Susan, you could just use a little lemon juice. The curd adds a little tartness to the blueberries and helps thicken up the sauce but there’s plenty of cornstarch in it so it should still work with just lemon juice.

In this retreat, Vishvapani Blomfield, a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order, explores the concept of “right communication.” The Buddha, Vishvapani says, emphasized the importance of practicing Right Speech on the Eightfold Path. But then again, the Buddha wasn’t on Twitter. In this day and age, we’re constantly communicating, not only through face-to-face interactions but also through texting, emailing, Skyping, Tweeting, and Facebooking. It’s difficult enough to apply Right Speech in a conversation with a friend. But how do we do it over text? Via email? On Facebook?
During this election cycle, as the American public collectively engages in heated political discussions, practicing Right Speech is more important than ever. Throughout the retreat, Vishvapani shows us how to engage in Right Speech by asking ourselves, no matter what the medium: Is it truthful? Is it effective? Is it beneficial? Is it kind? Speech, Vishvapani tells us, is a central part of being human—it’s what connects us to the people we surround ourselves with. When practiced wisely, Right Speech can have powerful and transforming effects and allow us to express true wisdom and compassion.
Retreat begins October 1st, 2012.

Welcome to Indulge! My name is Tiffany, and I will be your hostess for today. What is Indulge, you may ask? To get straight to the point, Indulge is a site-improvement and help site that opened its doors on February 15,2018. The purpose of this site is to be used as a resource whenever you feel the need to improve your site. Here, my goal is to help you make your site the best it can be. This site will also provide a variety of resources, guides, tips, as well as reviews from time to time. You, as the visitor, will also have the chance to submit any questions and request site reviews. This site should not only serve as a guide, but also a place that helps you improve on becoming a site owner. If you have any questions/concerns, please neomail me.
As you walk through the stone paved streets of the kingdom, you come across a small corner cafe with a sign above the entrance reading, Indulge. A group of friends walk out of the cafe carrying boxes of baked goods and treats. Suddenly hungry, you decide to have a look inside. You are immediately greeted with the smell of baked goods and melted butter the moment you enter the building. At the counter ahead of you stands a young girl talking animatedly with a group of customers all laughing and smiling. Upon spotting you, she excuses herself from the group and makes her way towards where you are standing. She introduces herself as Tiffany and shows you to your table with a menu already placed. Continue?
11/02/18- Just popping in to say that I'm still here and accepting requests. So far, I've completed two. I'm still on a hiatus so expect replies and requests to be slow. Read my last update for more information on the hiatus.
09/09/18- HIATUS: From this point on, I will be going on a hiatus. I planned on coming back after my vacation, but one thing led to another, and all of a sudden, school has started again. My classes this semester are more demanding than usual so I am taking a break to focus on my studies. I don't know when I'll be back, but hopefully during the winter. Requests will remain open during my hiatus, but there's no guarantee that they'll be done quickly. As always, feel free to neomail me!
08/07/18- VACATION: I will be on vacation for the rest of this week and half of next so there will be no updates until then. Requests will remain open during this time so feel free to send them in. I will reply when I come back. Hope you're having a fantastic summer! Also, entering and voting is open at my competition site, Demure, so please check it out. Requests are open.
Here are all the blogs. Each briefly covers a site-making topic. Read the description below each header to get an idea of what the post is about.
This site is written in blog style. Meaning, instead of it being a complete guide, it is just giving you tips and written informally. There are no lengthy articles here. Everything is short and sweet.
Navigation- Click on the arrow after each description to go to the post.
All blogs are for every kind of site unless specified at the very top of each post.
Every single post is something that is site related.
Learn about the importance of site-service.
A quick trick on answering neomails in less time.
A list of common mistakes seen throughout sites.
Ever wondered why some sites have stories and others don't? Want to know if you should do the same for your site?
The importance of credit is explained here.
Much like the common mistakes, but these are usually minor ones. They won't usually count against review scores, but improve the site when fixed nonetheless.
Discusses the usage of resources and extra graphics.
Discusses the differences and importance of affiliates & listers.
The saying is the saying goes. Service in running a site is key. Think in restaurant terms. When going to a restaurant, you expect to be shown a friendly smile and seated nicely. You expect to be served in a timely manner and if a mistake is made, an apology is common courtesy. The same thing goes for a site. Here are the steps in ensuring good service.
1. Make sure that your introduction is friendly and informative. Also, be sure to update your site regularly. Of course, there are sites such as graphic sites and guides that do not need to be updated everyday, but try to get one in at least every week or two.
2. Put in the extra effort to reach out to your visitors. Put links to your neomail or userlookup throughout the site and be sure to express your desire of wanting to help.
3. Always reply to neomails. I cannot stress this enough. Even if the message is asking a question you have already answered on your site, just kindly point them to the right section with a reply.
4. Finish requests in a timely manner. For graphic requests, a reasonable time-frame would be a week. Reviews would be about 1.5 weeks through 2. A layout would be about 2 weeks.
5. Tone is everything. Like with a friendly introduction, make sure your entire site has an air of friendliness. Phrase your sentences in a way that makes you seem approachable and ready to help.
6. Professionalism. What is it exactly? To me, it is the ability to remain calm when criticized and to make amends when in the wrong. As a site owner there will be times when unhappy visitors neomail you. However, it is your responsibility to remain calm and logically talk out the issue with the unhappy visitor. If they are wrong, correct them. If you are wrong, apologize.
7. Honesty. This is so important in being a site owner. Everyone knows that RL tends to get in the way. However, there is a difference in not completing a request at all and neomailing a requester about being unable to complete a request. Neomailing and explaining why the request will not be completed shows that you care and respect the requester. They took their time requesting and filling out the form so in turn, you should return the favor by telling them about their request status. If time is of the essence, a simple update on your site explaining your situation is fine as well.
If you own a request site, at some point you will realize how tedious it is to have to type out a reply for every request. In order to save time, many site owners prewrite their accept and deny messages.
Where do I put the messages? Many owners put it in their portfolio under a site category. However, you are free to put it anywhere you like such as having it saved on a notepad in your computer.
What type of prewritten messages are there? There are a lot of options. Just write the ones that you will most likely use. For example, most request sites have one for accepted, denied, and completed requests. Other sites such as competition sites will need multiple ones such as competition announcements and closings. It is all up to you.
What is the purpose of this? It saves time. All you have to do is spend about 5 minutes writing a few messages and saving it. Then, you are free to copy and paste the message whenever you have a request.
Accepted: Hello! Your request as been accepted. I will notify you when it is completed. In the meantime, feel free to neomail me if you have any questions.
Denied: Hello! I am sorry to say, but your request has been denied because of [state reason(s) here]. However, if you would still like to request, feel free to send in another one. Feel free to neomail me if you have any questions.
Not aligning text to the left. Always align large bodies of text to the left because it makes your page easier to read. Only center small pieces of text and images (will get more into centered images later).
Which one was easier to read? Hopefully you agree that the second one was. By having your text align to the left instead of centered, you can avoid the choppy formatting.
Not linking name in your introduction to your userlookup. If you site does not offer requests, or require a lot of contact between you and the visitor, you should at the very least link your name to your userlookup.
Why? Because it provides a way for visitors to neomail you if they have any questions or concerns.
On the other hand, this is also important because it allows a way for your visitor to kind of get to know you. They can go to your userlookup and browse around such as reading what you have written there. Overall, the main reason is to provide a way to communicate.
Inefficient space usage. There are some sites that I tend to come upon that have excessive scrolling due to the page not using its space wisely.
Notice how in the second one, the images seemed to fill up the text box despite it only being 3 in total. By centering your images, your page physically looks better, but it is more filling. Also, the same goes for link back buttons. Always center.
When in the process of opening up a site, many site owners debate over whether or not they want their site to have a certain theme and a story to go with it. Examples of these types of sites are The Teahouse and Parchment.
Having a story throughout your site draws in the visitor's attention. They like the adventure of going through each page and putting themselves in the world that you imagined for your site. After all, a site is a place for you to express your creativity.
However, not having a story is fine as well. There are plenty of amazing sites with a classic site structure and look such as Details and Project Star. Although these sites may have a theme, the sites themselves do not really expand more on it. Instead, the sites provide you the necessary information needed and get right into business.
Deciding on a central theme and finding a layout that fits said theme. Often times this is tricky. Many sites offer CSS premades that allow you to edit to your liking, but this usually only works for experienced coders. There are also graphic based layouts, but the layout may not be what you envisioned. The best thing would be to request a layout, but open requests are often hard to come by.
The process of writing the story. This step usually comes after deciding on a layout. Do you want the story to be scattered around your site or just on your homepage?
If you decided to scatter your story throughout your site, you need to keep in mind that you are leading the visitor throughout your site until the very last page. Usually the story starts off right after the introduction in your homepage and ending with a brief good-bye message on your sitely page. Take a look at The Teahouse or Parchment as examples.
If you decided on a homepage story, you only need to worry about writing a brief piece for your homepage. An example of this is A La Carte. Basically, you choose to open up your site with a story setting welcoming the visitor.
Overall, a story driven site allows the visitor to interact more with the site. It also lets you create more creative features centering around your site. For example, when Sweeters Cafe was still open, I created an extra called The Recipe Book where I gave a little insight on how I write reviews and tips for future reviewers.
That concludes this section. Having a story driven site will benefit the visitor by allowing them to interact with the site more. If the story is written well, the visitor will leave thinking about your site. However not having a story on your site is fine as well. You can still make sure visitors have an enjoyable experience by paying more attention to other factors such as service and extra features. When it comes down to it, it really is all up to the site owner of wanting to put in the extra effort of thinking up of a theme and writing a story to go with it.
Even if you are new to the site community, chances are that you would still see the word credit and how much it is repeated on most sites. But if you are new, what does this really mean?
The definition of credit is to give acknowledgement to a work you have used that is not yours. In other words, be sure to give credit to the person who's graphic or content that you have used.
Why is giving credit important? Imagine you are in a group project with another person and it is a day before the due date and you both have not started. All of a sudden, your partner decides to back out because they are too "busy" and leaves you with all the work. So, you spend the entire night doing the project only to walk in the next day to hear your partner telling the teacher that they did all the work. How would you feel? I would assume angry or frustrated. This is the same with site owners. If you are going to use someone else's work, credit them because behind that piece of content may be hours or even days of work; so it is only courteous to give them the credit that they deserve.
When you are using a graphic/code/resources that is not made by you. Anything that you find on a site that is not yours and you did not make needs to be credited. That includes coding. If you did not type it out by hand, and have copied it from another site, you need to mention it in your credits.
When you are inspired by an idea. Yes, even ideas deserve credit. This is not to say that you need to credit a tutorial that taught you how to edit an image (though it is appreciated by the tutorial writer). What I mean is when you see a unique feature on a site that you like. For example, when Parchment added a story request station, other writing sites got inspiration from the rules. So to credit me, they listed it in the credits section of their site.
How do you give credit?
A textlink is the most common form of credit. Just simply have the link lead to the site where you got your content from. A textlink is usually placed in the credits section of the site.
Linking back graphics to their original site. This is popular with link back buttons and random graphics around your site such as extra images and whatnot. This is also convenient for you as a site owner because you will not have to list where you got each graphic in the credit section. If you choose to link back your graphics, be sure to mention something in your credits along the lines of: All graphics not made by me link back to their creators.
Overall, it is important to credit those who deserve it. A simple mention in the credits section or a linked graphic is a small price to pay for the creator's time.
This post is very much like the common mistakes one. However, it is about minor mistakes. These small mistakes are not exactly mistakes, but more like they will make your site more convenient when fixed. As a reviewer, if I see these errors on your site, it will be unlikely for me to take off points in the review. But I would strongly recommend you to fix them.
The first mistake is one that I see often in graphic sites. The mistake is not providing a code for your images. Granted, it is tedious to have a textarea code under every icon or banner, and not to mention, it takes up a lot of space. It is fine to not have a code under every graphic. Instead, provide a small textarea with a graphic code on top of your content page so that it is convenient for anyone who wants to use your graphic. An example of a site having tfhis feature would be Bedazzled. However, you can also view an example below.
This way, people can easily plug in the image URL into a code and using the graphic right away. They would not have to type up their own. This is also an easy way to make sure you get credit for your work because the image would already link to your site if the visitor uses the code.
The button above is one that I quickly whipped up. When you click on the button it leads you to the site it is made for (which is this one) and when you copy the code, the button will lead you directly back to where it was made. By having your button link back to your site in the coding, it guarantees that the site owner will give you credit. Overall, linking back the button to the site that requested will spread word about the site itself.
2. Everyone has heard of the great heroes of Neopia right? We have all heard of their legendary battles, and good deeds. We all know that they are always going to be around to protect Neopia with their lives. But what if a band of Neopia's most wanted and evils decide to join forces, and the final recruit is at the bottom of Maraqua? All of a sudden the heroes vanish and are not seen. What will Neopia do at this time of crisis?
With all of this happening, a group of normal neopians travel up to Altador to visit the Hall of Heroes. Here, they acquire special abilities that the heroes have, and with the help of a certain janitor, they might just save the world.
Which one was easier to read? Or which one did you prefer to read? I hope the second one was your answer. The shorter paragraphs provide a sort of break for the reader and kind of tricks them into thinking they are reading less than they have to. By breaking your wall of text into paragraphs, you can also separate your ideas, thus improving the organization in your site.
Having linked borders on buttons and graphics is also a small mistake. This applies to all sites. Although there is no problem in having a linked border, it does not make your page very attractive.
How can you tell if a graphic has a linked border? This is relatively simple. Take a button for example. If a button has a linked border, it will be surrounded by a black border. This makes the button look unattractive.
Tiny div boxes. This is most common in review sites. Although there are not many active classic review sites at the moment, I would still like to point this out just in case someone is interested in opening one.
Take a look at the div boxes on this page as an example. They are small but the right size for the content. They merely serve as a way for me to organize the different points and examples without having to create excess scrolling. The content inside these boxes are not lengthy.
Now, think about how a review would look like in one of these boxes. Take a look at one of my reviews in the pick-up section. Imagine having to read an entire review in one of these boxes. One, it would most likely discourage you. Two, think of how much scrolling there is.
In order to remedy this problem, you can simply make the div boxes larger to fit with the large text. Or you can put the review on a separate page all together. An example of a review site with a well-executed div box is Esteemed and for the review being on a completely separate page, just take a look at Indulge's pick-up section.
Overall, make the div boxes the size that is appropriate to the situation. For updates, a smaller size is good enough. But for large bodies of texts such as reviews or guides, the box needs to be bigger.
When you enter a site one of the first things you would notice are the resources and extra graphics used. The resources typically range from bullets, neomail signs, status signs, placeholders, and more. Extra graphics include icons, fake avatars, banners, pixels, etc. In this section, I am going to be talking about the importance of using resources and why extra graphics can be helpful.
Resources are a great way to draw attention to important aspects of your site such as request statuses and neomail links. Of course, there is nothing wrong with having a regular text link or bolded status sign. But, what exactly are resources? Resources are anything that is used to help your site function. In other words, think of them as signs. They can point you in the right direction, show you status updates, or lead you to another page.
Commonly used resources are bullets, neomail signs, status signs, and placeholders. There are more, but these are the most used. Bullets can help organize rules or lists. Unlike coding your own bullets, using a graphic bullet provides that extra pop of color to your site. Neomail signs lead you directly to blank message. Status signs show you if the site owner is currently available to take requests. Finally, placeholders are used in place of graphics. For example, I would use a button placeholder to show that a button is meant to go in a certain spot. These are temporary and will be replaced with the graphic that you intended for that spot.
Extra graphics are usually a great touch to any site. These graphics are different from resources in that they are not necessarily needed for a site to function. They are mainly there for decoration. Then, why are they important? They are important because they can really liven up a page. Sometimes it is nice to have a picture to look at when reading a large body of text. An example of this would be any of the posts in this site. I make sure that each post has a fun image to tie it together. They are also a great way to fill in any empty space. If there are only a few words or a textbox on a page, just add a banner or icon to give an illusion of the page being filled.
First, look at the ones that complement your site's theme/color scheme. The colors that go well with my site are mainly purple, pink, and gray so I gathered resources of those colors. Next, pick the one style that you like best and will be most effective. For me, I chose the third one because I kept in mind of my site's textarea sizes. It aligns perfectly with my textarea and evens out my page. This strategy can be used with all resources. Make sure that the colors match your site and be consistent when using them. Have one style of neomail signs, status signs, bullets, etc throughout your entire site. This will improve the overall aesthetics of your site.
The over and ineffective use of extra graphics can also tie into the reasons with the resources. The difference with graphics is that they do not have to be the same every time you use them and the colors do not necessarily have to match your site's color scheme. Of course, if they do, your site will appear more consistent. The main thing that you need to look out for is to not pile the graphics on a page (unless your site is a graphic site and it's your content page). But if you're just using a graphic for decoration, try limiting it to maximum of two graphics to each page. This also depends on how much text is on a page. If the page is text-heavy, then more graphics will help alleviate the pain of reading through the large body.
Overall, resources and extra graphics are a great way to enhance your site and aesthetics. Resources are a helpful way to guiding your visitors and extra graphics contribute to your site's charm. No matter how you use your resources and graphics, be sure to be consistent and not overuse them.
When I first started as a site owner, I was confused about the whole process of becoming an affiliate and getting listed at directories. Firstly, I did not know what affiliate meant, so it took me a while to get the hang of things. Hopefully, this post will save you the trouble of learning the difference on your own. This post will be especially helpful to new site owners.
What is an affiliate? An affiliate is someone/something that is connected to you/your organization. In this case, your organization is your site.
What is the purpose of an affiliate? An affiliate in some sense, gives your site exposure. The more affiliates you have, the more likely people are going to stumble upon your site because they will see your button displayed. However, affiliates do not only serve as a way to get your site out there. They are also there to help you. Think of your affiliates as a sort of support group. If you have questions, you should feel comfortable enough to ask them.
Is it necessary to have affiliates? No, it is not. It is completely up to you whether you choose to have affiliates or not. There are other ways to make your site known.
How do you decide which sites you should become affiliated with? This is also completely up to you. However, most site owners choose to become affiliates with sites that are similar to theirs. For example, a button site will more likely become affiliates with another button site than a review site, and vice versa.
Hello ____! I was wondering if you would like your site, ______, to be affiliates with mine, ______? Thank you for considering! I hope you have a nice day!
If your affiliate request is not accept, do not despair. There will always be other sites that are willing to accept.
Listers are what we call directories that are listing your site.
How do you get your site listed? Simply visit a directory such as The Popsicle Stand or Kalux Directory and send in your listing request. Most directories have a pre-written form that you need to fill out. The only thing you need to check before sending your mail is check if the site is accepting listing requests.
What if you see your site listed at a directory that you have not requested to be listed at? This is a completely normal occurrence. Directories are meant to help people find what they need so it is natural that the site owners will try to list as many sites as possible, and your site could be one of them. When you see this, just put one of their link back buttons or link back to the directory in your Listers section of the sitely page.
Do you really need listers? Well, no. However, getting your site listed at directories is the easiest way to get your site known. This is especially helpful if your site does not have affiliates. However, if your site is more of a personal page and you would prefer for it to not be listed, you can just neomail the site owner and they will be able to remove your site.
That concludes this section! Basically, both affiliates and listers are ways to get word of your site out there. For affiliates, do not be afraid to be the one to send out the request! Most site owners are more than happy to receive neomails. And the same goes for listing requests. Just send it! I hope this article helped!
From time to time I get the urge to review so this section is for that. Requests will open randomly so check frequently if you're interested. Also, be sure to read the rules below before requesting.
Be sure to link back before you request a review. Credit is mandatory.
Keep in mind that the review is my opinion so please be polite. Also, be sure to read each rubric carefully before requesting.
Only request when requests are open and one request at a time. If you read the rules, include your favorite dessert somewhere in the form.
Select the rubric that you want, and be sure to fill out the form completely. Also, do not make any big changes to your site while you are on the waiting list.
Homepage: This includes everything on your homepage. The introduction is the part where you introduce yourself and your site to others. See if your introduction made sense, and did your name link back to your userlookup. Also, see if your introduction told enough information on your site and if the page is organized.
Rules: Are your rules fair? Do you sound too harsh? Do they make sense? Easy to understand?
Layout and Organization: Your layout is very important because it's the first impression that the visitors see when they enter your site. Looking to see if your layout is pleasing to the eye, and if it's organized. See if your site's navigation works and is easy to spot and use. Also take a quick glance through your site to see if anything is out of place, or needs to be positioned a bit better.
Spelling and Grammar: This is a quick read through your site to see if there are any mistakes.
Sitely: The sitely part of your site usually contains Link Backs, Affiliates, Listers, and your Credits. Critique your link back buttons to see if they are high quality.
Content: Your content is the most important thing on your site because it lets others know what you have. See if you organized your content in a manner that is easy to access and use. Is it neat? Are the textarea/textboxes the right size? Your content's quality will also be scored on here.
Pros: What is good about your site. This review can be in bullets. Some things to comment on can be layout, content, organization, spelling/grammar, anything that is positive and stands out.
Cons: Some of the things that you need to improve on as well as ways that you can fix it. Some things to comment on can be layout, content, organization, spelling/grammar, anything that you think can be/needs to be improved.
First Impression: What do you first see when you enter your site? Does anything stand out? What do you like and don't like? Go over your site's introduction, and see if it has all the necessary requirements such as your name linking back to your userlookup, information about site, and neomail link.
Spelling and Grammar: This is a quick read through your site if there are any mistakes.
This is a simple questions and answers review. You will be able to ask questions about your site and I will do my best to answer them. This type of review is always open even when requests are closed and will be done through neomail. When requesting this rubric, be sure to include all your answers in the form.
How should I organize my sitely page?
What do you think of my introduction? Is there any way that I can improve it?
Is my site organization okay? If not, how can I improve?

There is really nothing to say about your homepage. You introduce your site nicely in your introduction as well as make your site's goal clear. The only thing that I would fix is maybe bold or italicize key words in your introduction. Examples include the type of site and your goals. Overall, nice job here.
Your rules are all straightforward and fair. Everything was clear and easy to understand.
All your links work and everything is organized nicely. Your layout is also well-made and easy to navigate. The way that you organized your content is simple and convenient. Great job here!
Homepage: Founded in on January 2018 by none other than NAV, Howlite's goal is to supply you with quality Neo-related & basic buttons to suit your every need.
Request - Topaz Request: This type of request gives me total free reign over your button.
Tools: This wonderful collection of goodies is used to create Opal requests, however, they can also be used by anyone at their leisure.
Everything seems to be in order in your sitely page. The page is organized nicely and everything is easy to find. There are, however, a few link back buttons that can be replaced.
The simple border and text on this button is well done, but what takes away from the quality is the snow animation. It's choppy and not smooth. Here is a great snow tutorial to help you out.
Here, your image and border are excellent. What weakens this button is the text. It's too small and does not stand out. At this point, I suggest playing around with styling and positioning. Instead of having the moon to the side, try centering it along with the text. If you are concerned with the text blocking the image by being centered, switch up the animation. Maybe use the textfade animation or have the text scroll across the button. Also, feel free to play with how the text itself looks.
Again, the image is nicely cropped, border is great, and animation is decently timed. What needs to be fixed is the text. The white text goes great with this button as it makes it stand out, but the text itself is blurry. I suggest either selecting a different font or sharpening the text.
For this section, I will review your most recent buttons. I will be picking out the buttons that can be improved as well as your best ones.
The animation for this button is nicely timed and the border is also well-done. However, the text and image is what brings the quality down. It's hard to make out what the image is and since the text is long, I feel like the execution could have been better. For longer texts, a little more creativity is needed. If you would like to stick with the image, I suggest brightening it up a bit so that it's easier to see what it is and have the text scroll behind the image.
Everything about this button is nicely done except the animation. Notice how the petals continuously block the text? This makes it a bit hard to read. I suggest creating a small gap between animations or slowing it down so that the petals fall softer. An example of a well-executed button of yours with a similar style is the Meet the Fam one.
This button is very well-made. The image cropping is nicely done and the colors to the text execution are great. The border also neatly ties the image and animation together.
This is your highest quality button so far. The colors on this button go well together and the image is nicely cropped. The shine animation is also perfectly paced and isn't too harsh. Great job!
Overall, you have a wide variety of options to choose from for button customizations. It was also nice to see that you're open to experimenting with different animations. Your strongest points are image cropping and editing. You still need to work on the quality of your animations and text execution. For animations, you seem to have the concept down, but not when to use it in order to enhance a button's appearance (especially with longer texts). Text execution can also go with animation. You're strong in shorter texts, but play around with longer ones. For example, with longer texts, try staying away from using a png on the button. Instead, opt for a scenic background and center the text. Once you manage to master editing the text on a scenic background, then you can move onto a png and experiment with animations regarding that.
I will definitely revisit to see what else you have to offer as well as how you improve. You're animations are creative and I can't wait to see what else you come up with.
This is not exactly a definite no. It's leaning towards a maybe because I see a lot of potential. This recommendation is based solely on your content so far. You're on the right track regarding image cropping and editing, however, there's still room for improvement in animation and text execution. These really take away from the button's overall quality. With tweaks here and there to your buttons, your site will definitely shine.
This is also where I usually recommend active review sites, but there are currently none. If there is anything that you are curious about, take a look at the content page for additional site tips.
Below are a couple of sites with button tutorials regarding animation and other tips in order to help you improve your button making even more.
Other Comments: I noticed that a few of your link back buttons are not made by you. This is completely fine, but I suggest switching them out to ones that you made because you're running a button site. This is a great way to show off your technique to others who see your site's buttons or use it. Think of it as you advertising your site and showing your style. If you choose to do this, it does not mean you have to discard the buttons made by other sites completely. I suggest putting them on a separate page or section with a note saying they're not made by you.
Remember to link back! (Goes right under the 'reviewed by' section) I have added your review and everything in the button below. When you roll over the button after pasting on your site, you will be able to see your score. Hope the review was helpful!
Your site is easy to get around. All the links work.
Everything in your site is well explained and easy to understand.
For your requests, it is nice to see different request options and styles. This gives your visitors more of a variety to choose from.
Your fonts overall are well made. The colors go well together and match nicely with their avatars.
There are a few tweaks that you can make towards your organization. Let's start by reorganizing your navigation so that your site flows better. Organize it in this order: Home, Premades, Font Menu, Request, Art Trades, Pick-up, Portfolio, Extras, and Sitely. You may have noticed that I took out Sparkle Lines. This is because I think it's best if you combine it with your Font Menu.
Like I mentioned above, there is excessive scrolling throughout your site. This can easily be fixed by separating each section into pages. An example of this is my extras and your Premades page. Notice how each of my categories and your different fonts are separated into a page of their own? By separating your categories, it will be easier for you and the visitor to find what they are looking for. I reorganized your extras page for you as well as coded your categories into different pages. Below is a preview of what it should look like if you choose to use my code.
Here is the coding for your extras page and the categories that go with it. I also added a back resource to lead you back to your extras page from The Lunch Box so if you decide to keep the back buttons, be sure to credit. In order to use your code, just replace all your coding for your extras section with what I have below.
Type whatever you want here or delete this all together.
Type whatever you want here or delete this all together. Usually a brief explanation of what the link is going to lead to. Click here to proceed.
You can also do what you did for your extras page with your font menu. You can have each style in their separate page as well as create another one for Sparkle Lines. Another minor thing you can do to fix the horizontal scrolling throughout your site is to change the width of your font screenshots to about 450px or less Finally, I suggest you create a credits section in your Sitely page. This will make it easier for you to give credit to where you found your resources and graphics.
This is where I usually recommend active review sites, but there are currently none. If there is anything that you are curious about, take a look at the content page for additional site tips.
Upon entering your site, my eyes were immediately drawn to the banner. The colors used complement your site nicely. There really is not much to say about your homepage. Everything was neatly organized and the introduction was straight to the point. You also did a nice job of explaining what your site is about in your introduction. Great job here!
Since your site is not a regular request/content-based site, you do not have one set of rules (which is fine and understandable). However, each section was clearly explained and easy to understand.
Your layout itself is nicely made. The color scheme makes the site pleasing to look at. Each page is well organized. The way that you organized the news is convenient and makes it easy to read. There really is not much to say here. All your links seem to work, and the navigation is easy to see and use.
About the Site: Sites that do not offer requests are welcome to send in news about their sites via the bulletin board or the poster board.
Submit a Bulletin (Last sentence): Please do not submit for guilds, auctions, shops, galleries, ect.
Interview Guidelines (1st bullet): Anyone can interview a site owner and submit a poster.
Site Ratings: If you have requested from a site on our watchlist, you can submit a simple star rating review to us so others can see what sites do the best work.
Everything seems to be in order in your sitely page. The page is organized nicely and everything is easy to find. One thing that I suggest you add is the code to remove linked borders to your button codes: border = 0. Remember to put quotation marks around the 0 and remove spaces. There are, however, a few link back buttons that can be replaced.
The text on this button is well-executed, but what brings the quality of this button down are the images used in the animation. The animation runs smoothly, but the images in each frame are hard to make out.
The image on this button is nicely cropped. The text and border is also done nicely. What brings this button down is the animation. The snow animation fits this button perfectly, but the animation itself appears choppy, as if it were lagging. If the animation was smoother, this button would be great!
You have a wide variety of sites listed, which makes your site much more convenient. Visitors who are looking for a particular request site that is active will only have to look at one place.
I also like how you try to turn your site into more of a community site for both site owners and requesters. Everything from the main directory to the posters and news was well thought out. However, I do have a few suggestions to make that may improve your site even more.
Interviews: The idea of getting to interview site owners is a great idea! But to start it off, maybe provide an example of an actual interview rather than a sample format? For example, to start off, perhaps you can do an interview of your most recent featured site. This way, more people will see how an interview can be done, and hopefully become inspired to participate as well.
Poster Requests: In your poster guidelines, you wrote, You do not need to make your own poster. Tell the maker to leave a small credit somewhere on the poster. Where can someone request a poster if they do not know how to make one? Maybe you can create a section (in the extras page?) where site owners can volunteer to be a poster maker for Refresh. When someone wants to create a poster, they can request one from a poster maker with open requests.
Overall, the newly revamped Refresh seems to be off to a great start!
I will definitely revisit to keep up to date with site news.
I would recommend Refresh because it is not only a great resource for site owners, but for anyone who is looking for an active request site.
Your site is well organized and easy to get around. All the links work and each page is structured nicely.
You do a good job of explaining what your site is about in your introduction. It's great that you bolded all of the important aspects, which makes it even easier to read.
From what you have up, your current tutorials are well-written and in-depth. You do a nice job of transitioning into the next steps and providing visual references.
Your buttons are nicely colored and the animations are well-executed. For example, I really like your shine.
The animation is not too harsh. It is easy on the eyes and brings out the best in the button.
I noticed that the regular text in your gray div boxes are all written in lowercase aside from the bold parts. I suggest changing it so that you can capitalize the words that should be.
The Basics: This tutorial was well-written. You did a nice job explaining each step and walking us through it. However, there are some things that can be tweaked to improve. For example, you talked a lot about pixel fonts. However, you kind of glossed over non-pixel fonts. I suggest providing some more examples of when non-pixel fonts can be used. Is it best to use with short sites names? What is the best way to use it? You can also provide a visual example of when a non-pixel font can be used.
Although everything was easy to understand, I suggest doing one more grammar sweep throughout your site. Particularly in your tutorial section. There are a few spots where sentences need to be rewritten and words can be replaced.
The animation for both buttons are well thought out and the images are nicely cropped. However, the first button's text can be tweaked. The text is already thin and tiny, so when you have the light spot on the text, it makes it even harder to see because it makes it blend into the white shadow behind it. For the second button, the image is overly sharpened. I suggest toning it down a bit. This will make it easier to see. Overall, your seem to have mastered colorscheme and animation. With a few tweaks your buttons will be even better!
This is not really a con so I did not put it under that section. For your tutorials, I suggest defining certain terms that you use such as primary shadow hue and primary midtone hue. Basically any vocabulary that beginners would not know. I think this will make your tutorials easier to understand.
This is also where I usually recommend active review sites, but there are currently none. If there is anything that you are curious about, take a look at the content page for additional site tips or here for a list of helpful sites.
Welcome to Moonlight Fonts run by me, Molly. Here, you will be able to find premade and custom neoboard fonts. MLF officially opened on June 10, 2018, and grows more and more every day. Take a look around!
Overall, everything on your homepage is looking great!
All your rules for both premades and customs were clear and easy to understand.
Your layout itself is nicely made. The color scheme and layout is really simple and easy to navigate. Each page is well organized and all your links seem to work.
Premade Rules: IF YOU would LIKE A NB PEN FONT, BUT DON'T HAVE A NB PEN, FEEL FREE TO ASK ME TO MAKE THE CODE SHORTER FOR YOU! YOU CAN ASK ME TO DO THIS AT ANY TIME, EVEN IF REQUESTS ARE CLOSED.
Premade & Request Rules: YOU MAY EDIT MY FONTS, but DO NOT CLAIM THEM AS YOURS.
Everything seems to be in order in your sitely page. The page is organized nicely and everything is easy to find. There is, however, a link back button that can be replaced.
The image on this button is nicely cropped and the sparkle animation is smooth, but what brings the quality of this button down is the text. The appear animation does not seem to fully loop before starting over again. This makes the text on the lighter side and harder to read.
The fonts that you have up so far are well made. The colors go nicely with the avatars, and I like how simple they are. However, every font seems to be done in similar styles. I suggest playing around more with font structure and style. For example, instead of having the phrases evenly aligned, how about make it choppy and uneven? Or instead of using one symbol for a font, try using more to mess around with the structure. For example, if you are using the Gloomy avatar, you can try using a cloud and raindrops falling under it. The fonts overall are great, but I would like to see more of your personal style.
I will definitely revisit to see your future work.
I would recommend Moonlight Fonts because the fonts are well-made and fit the avatars nicely.
This is just a suggestion, but maybe you can add an extras page to your site? This will allow you to work on more projects involving your site as well as make it stand out more. For example, you can add a recommended color scheme section or other font-related features.
Here you can find extra features that you can explore.
Here, you can read the continuation of the site story and the reasons why this site was opened.
A list of sites that are useful for site-improvement.
A place where all my past reviews go.
Have something you want to see? This is the place to tell me.
The first part is the continuation of the story in the homepage. Below that is the reason why this site was opened.
After she gets you seated and tells you to take your time ordering, she goes back to the group of people at the counter and hands them their packed orders after a small chat. Then, she walks back to you and asks you what you would like to order.
You scan the menu for a moment and decide on a Sweeters Cupcake and a Bubble Tea. Upon hearing your order, Tiffany gives you a small smile and quickly notes it down.
A few minutes later, she comes back with your order and places it in front of you.
Please enjoy and call me if you need anything, She says before going back into the kitchen.
You thank her and dig into your food. The cupcake, you observe, contains all the colors of the rainbow and topped with cupcake shaped sprinkles along with a raspberry. Interesting, you think to yourself. Without waiting another moment, you dig in. The cupcake is sweet, but not so sweet that it gets tiring. The cake itself is perfectly moist and the pink lemon buttercream frosting adds just the right amount of zest. As for the flavor of the cake, you can't put your finger on it. You taste vanilla, chocolate, a mixed variety of berries, but there is something else. Something that ties all of the bizarre combination of flavors together.
Before you knew it, you have already finished the cupcake. So then you move onto the tea. The first sip cools down your body and relaxes you immediately. There is a slight bitter tea taste, but it immediately washes away when you bite into the boba. What a perfect way to end the snack.
You take a look around the cafe while sipping your tea. You see pictures on the walls of past customers with Tiffany. She looks younger, you think to yourself.
Tiffany comes back and places the bill on your table and tells you to take your time. There was no one in the cafe now so you stop her and ask her about the pictures on the walls.
When she hears your question, another small smile pulls at her lips as she turns her gaze towards the pictures.
After a moment of comfortable silence, Tiffany pulls out of her thoughts and says, As you have already guessed, these are my past customers. She pauses for a second as if she were debating whether or not she should say the next part. She walks over to a smaller picture and brings it over to your table to show you. These pictures were not taken here at this cafe. Rather, they were at my first one, Sweeters Cafe. However, that cafe is long gone now. Though, there are some instances where long-term customers come back and visit, She says with a kind of wistful tone as she stares at the picture on the table. At this moment, you realize that the group of people who was talking so happily were a group of her old visitors. No wonder they were so familiar with each other, you think.
You take a look at the picture and see a building slightly larger than the one you are sitting in. The cafe in the picture had a small outdoor seating area and sitting there was Tiffany surrounded by a group of friends. What catches your attention most in the picture are the three cupcakes in the middle of the table. One of them is the cupcake that you just had moments before.
You point out the cupcake and ask Tiffany if it is the same one you just had. She nods and says, It is. That cupcake was Sweeters Cafe's specialty. It is made with all of the ingredients used in the other cupcakes and baked treats along with an extra ingredient to tie it all together. I remember everyone wanted one of the cupcakes when it first came out. Her eyes sparkled as she recalled these memories.
But, all good things have to come to an end, Tiffany sighs as she puts back the picture. Now, I am just a tired baker who yearns for a time when the cafe was still bustling with life.
She turns to look at you and for a moment, her eyes lights up. But people like you are what keeps me coming back to the kitchen, She says with a bit more energy than before, I may not have the same energy as I did when I first opened Sweeters Cafe, but I am willing to pass down my knowledge in the business if you're interested?
Tiffany puts out her hand and you stare at it as you debate whether you are ready or not to apprentice under her.
So, will you take her hand or not?
Indulge is an extension of my now closed review site, Sweeters Cafe. Now that Sweeters Cafe is closed, I noticed that the site community lacked review sites. However, I did not want to get back into reviewing due to my busy schedule. So then, I took some time to mull it over. New sites were constantly popping up, but there was no one new owners could turn to for advice on how to improve. Granted, there were plenty of site guides, but most were out-dated. So, I was inspired to create Indulge.
Indulge started off as a self-reviewing site where the site owner could actually go through the process of being a reviewer for their own site. However, that project fell through and was not completed. After several months of thinking, I still felt like the site community needed something it could turn to for help. Thus, the Indulge help site emerged. This way, I will be able to update as I like as well as have a site that will never truly be completed. I also felt that with it being written as a blog, it will be a quick and easy read.
Below is a checklist to a successful site. Not everything on the list is referring to every site. Single out the parts that you think applies to your site.
[ ] Well organized layout. Are all of the links working? Is everything easy to find and nicely laid out?
[ ] Goals, Spelling & Grammar. Did you clearly state your goal and purpose of your site in the introduction? Is the writing in your site clear? Is it easy to understand?
[ ] Content. High quality? Is there quantity? Is it organized properly?
[ ] Service. Are you responding to neomails regularly? Are you friendly with the visitor/requester? Are the forms and rules easy to follow? Are you open to suggestions?
Here are some sites to help you on your site making journey. Be sure to read the descriptions for each site.
Atlas is your one stop shop to finding out all about the different types of site there is. Here, you will find information on each type of site and the responsibilities that come with it. This is a great read for those wanting to create a site, but do not know where to start.
How to Write for the Web and Talia's Writing Guide are both great guides to writing. Both guides show you how to properly structure your writing as well as keep your visitor engaged.
Before creating a site you will need a name and this site will help you with just that. There are a wide variety of names throughout this site, so I'm sure there will be one that appeals to you.
This site is also filled with broken images. However, that can be overlooked because the information in here is just as valuable as these other guides. This site is your basic how-to-run-a-site guide. Perfect for new site owners.
If How to Write Great Reviews was too hard to read because of the broken images, give this guide a try instead. Everything is still mostly intact. This is also another guide to reviewing.
This is a guide to owning a link directory. This site provides in-depth explanations on how to make your link directory successful as well as extra pointers. This page is a great read for both new and veteran directory owners.
This is a great read for those who own request sites. It provides in-depth explanations on the importance of providing service. Highly recommended read for everyone who is interested in owning a site.
This site has in-depth articles on how to write reviews and tips on running a review site. Even now, I still often refer to this guide to help me write reviews. Highly recommended read for those interested in becoming a reviewer.
A simple guide on how to run a successful site. This site will give you the basics of running your site to help you get started. Good for new owners.
For my full portfolio, click here and scroll all the way down. As for the requests completed at Indulge, I have completed 9 in total. Roll over each button for the score.
Is there anything that you would like to see on this site? You can request that here. Suggestions can range from new posts to more content on various subjects. Suggestions are always open.

This study investigates some of the factors affecting the adoption and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for curriculum delivery in selected private high schools in the Western Cape. In this 21st century, ICT has penetrated the society to the point that it is most likely to assume that the private high school in general, are effectively incorporating them (ICTs) in delivery of the curriculum. Regrettably, this assumption is not always true as revealed in most of the cases examined in this study. Instead, a lot of private high school teachers who were selected as participants or respondents in this study revealed that they are still facing critical challenges when they want to effectively adopt and use ICTs for curriculum delivery. While the previous studies have focused more on the ICT integration in pubic schools in disadvantaged communities, this study employed a mixed methods research design (that is both quantitative and qualitative research methods) to explore the factors affecting the adoption and use of ICTs in private high schools in the Western Cape Province. The two frameworks adopted in this study, the Teacher Development framework (DoE, 2007) and the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework guided the researcher in the analysis of the research findings. The study also used both deductive and inductive reasoning in the interpretation of the results. The results of the study show that despite the high level of appreciating the importance of ICT adoption and use in teaching and learning by private high school teachers in the Western Cape Province, there are still critical factors that continue to militate against the effective integration of technology in the classroom. The study revealed the following factors as critical regarding the effective adoption and use of ICTs in curriculum delivery: lack of skills, limited access to ICT resources, lack of technical support, shortage of class time, and lack of teacher motivation.

Effective management of EHS risks that can adversely impact people, assets, and the environment is essential for sound corporate performance. Simply meeting regulations is no longer sufficient. Instead, a proactive approach to reduce risks is needed to achieve safe, sustainable operations. Furthermore, product safety and chemical management regulations, as well as industry-driven standards, are growing exponentially, requiring compliance activities and controls throughout the product lifecycle in an integrated and comprehensive way. Companies must find a way to use the wealth of EHS and operational data to which they have access to work smarter, faster, and simpler in the new manufacturing environment.
At this unique event, you will learn first-hand from SAP customers and experts how SAP solutions can help transform your organization by cost-effectively operationalizing EHS activities and requirements, and ultimately enable innovation, operational excellence, and sustainable growth.
Furthermore, profit from the experience and knowledge delivered by SAP's leading experts and industry thought leaders. Whether you're an existing customer or you are looking for a new solution provider, this event will equip you with the necessary expertise and insight to transform your business.

A visa is a stamp or endorsement which is placed by officials of a foreign country directly on a passport that allows the bearer of the passport to visit that country. (Note: Except Russia, whose visa is a separate document). Visas are obtained from the appropriate embassy or local consulates of the country to be visited. “Visit” is further defined as a reason for entry, usually business, tourist or transitory. There are over 270 countries that offer visas and literally thousands of different types of visas available based upon country, type of visit and length of visit.
Answer to this question is subject to change on a daily basis since the requirements of each country abroad could change at any time.
If you are a U.S. Citizen, please visit the individual country’s Web Site (in Section 3.2.1) to view entry requirements for each country.
If you are NOT a U.S. Citizen, Caring Hands can help you obtain a Visa. Please call (202) 554-2277 for further information.
Country which issued your Passport.
What is required to Obtain a Visa?
At a minimum, the applicant will need a valid passport to obtain a visa. When the visa is issued, the passport will be stamped indicating the visa was issued and expiration date of the visa. Many countries require there be in excess of6 months of validity on the passport before granting its use.
How many photographs do I need to attach to my Visa application?
The number of photographs required varies by each individual consulate/embassy but is usually between one and four photographs. Please refer to individual consulate/embassy web site for clarification.
The number of forms required varies by embassy/consulate, but the number is usually between one and four.
Can I fax you my completed Visa application?
No. Embassies require an original signature on the completed Visa form along with your passport before they can issue a Visa.
Yes, Consulates and Embassies require your actual passport to use visas in all instances.
Do I need to include an itinerary as part of my application?
No. It depends on which country your traveling to and is dependent on the Embassy/Consulate whether or not you need to include a international flight itinerary with your application.
What is the difference between ‘Single-Entry’ and ‘Multiple-Entry’ Visas?
Depending on the reciprocal treaties governing visa issuance for each nationality, a visa may allow one entry before its expiration, or it may permit the traveler to enter at various times. A Single-Entry visa may only be used for one entry for the specific purpose for which it is granted. In general, the number of times that a Multiple-Entry visa may be used depends upon the expiration date of the visa, the nationality of the traveler, or restrictions placed on the total number of days permitted in a particular country during any year. You must be very clear as to whether you require a Single-Entry or Multiple-Entry visa on your application.
If your VISA application is mailed to the Embassy or Consulate directly, it can take up to SIX WEEKS to process your VISA. Caring Hands can reduce this time frame tremendously, usually within ONE WEEK. Also note that some Embassies (ex: China) do not accept Visa applications by mail.

Therese Bjerland (left) at Mandals and Eivind Gimming Stensland at MacGregor have lots of experience and success from writing SkatteFUNN applications, assisted by Siren M. Neset, Special Advisor at The Research Council of Norway.
«We have an excellent track record. Since 2003, Mandals has filed 20 applications for SkatteFUNN. All have been approved,» said Therese Bjerland, Process Operator at Mandals, during a mini SkatteFUNN seminar at GCE NODE recently.
The SkatteFUNN R&D tax incentive scheme is a government program designed to stimulate research and development (R&D) in Norwegian trade and industry. The incentive is a tax credit and comes in the form of a possible deduction from a company’s payable corporate tax.
In order to be eligible, the company also needs to be incorporated in Norway and liable to pay corporate tax to Norway.
«If the tax credit for the R&D expenses is greater than the amount the firm is liable to pay in tax, the remainder will be paid out in cash. If the company does not generate a taxable income, the entire SkatteFUNN credit is paid out in cash,» explained Siren M. Neset, Special Advisor at The Research Council of Norway.
SkatteFUNN is open to all companies with a permanent establishment in Norway, as long as the R&D costs can be attributed to future earnings of the Norwegian company.
Applications for SkatteFUNN can be submitted later, but should be submitted by September 1st to guarantee a decision before the end of the year.

The San Diego Trolley is the system that started the modern 'Light Rail System' craze in the United States when (what is now referred to as) the Blue Line opened from downtown to San Ysidro/International Boarder in July 1981 along a sparsely used freight ROW (which still sees minimal freight service). The terminus is San Ysidro is also just steps from Mexico. The system has expanded some since opening day to three lines and today it is both the third most ridden and third longest light rail system in the United States (locally always called Trolley). It is the only U.S. operator of U2s, and the only North American operator of low-floor U2s (Edmonton, 1978 and Calgary, May 1981 use the high-floor variant). The original blue line stations were extremely cheaply built with ground-level boarding and no genuine platforms. Newer stations have six inch high platforms. Orange and Blue Line trains run using exclusively side platform stations with slow on-board wheelchair lifts (similar to those on a bus) for ADA access. A wheelchair boarding delays an entire train. The newer Green Line runs mixed consists of low-floor S70s and SD100 (the intermediate trolley types, used on all 3 lines). Orange and Blue line stations have begun the tedious process of having actual eight inch platforms built or two inches added to the tops to allow S70 operations system wide by 2014 which should result in faster trip speeds. Base train service runs every 15 minutes on all 3 Lines with the exception of 7.5 minute service during rush hours on the ultra busy Blue Line, and only half-hourly service on the Orange and Green Lines on Sundays.

Borlänge Airport is situated southeast of Borlänge, a city in the Dalarna province of Sweden. It is also 20 minutes from the city of Falun. The airfield was built during the Second World War and was modernized in 1961. In mid 1960 the first civilian airlines arrived at Dala Airport. A new terminal building was completed in 1972 and Dala Airport AB took over the airport.

Supraspinatus is one of the rotator cuff muscles that originates from the scapula and inserts on the greater tubercle of humerus. It passes through the subacromial space where it is liable to injury by hooked/curved acromion, bony spurs or friction with the acromion process due to impaired scapular movement. Supraspinatus tears can be an acute injury resulting from fall on shoulder, throwing or any sudden overhead action. It can also be a gradual process resulting from wear and tear due to constant irritation at the subacromial space.
The patient complains of pain and inability to lift the arm especially in abduction. Night pain while lying on affected side is common. Lifting and overhead activity is extremely painful. Reduced muscle strength and decreased ROM are evident on examination. There may swelling at the muscle insertion. A tear of the supraspinatus tendon can be detected by the empty-can test or full-can test: apply downward force to the arm in 90° scaption and in internal rotation (thumb down). If there is a supraspinatus tear, the patient cannot resist this force because of muscle weakness.
The main objective of physiotherapy treatment is reduction of pain and inflammation followed by increasing ROM and muscle strength. Once the initial phase of the injury has passed, within a couple days. Treatment would consist of gentle passive movements, pendular exercises and active assisted ROM exercises. Strengthening the postural muscles and correction of posture are key to starting the rehabilitation process. Anteroinferior glenohumeral glide can also help to increase shoulder abduction and external rotation ROM. In case of supraspinatus tendon rupture, surgery followed by intensive rehabilitation is the preferred mode of treatment. Functional rehab is advised after shoulder ROM is full and pain free and strength is optimum. The entire rehab period can extend from 3 weeks to 6 months.

This is our product CD. It has literally over 1,100 pages of hundreds of items we can get for your needs. The prices depend on what we are forced to vend it you for - as to whether you have insurance and want it billed, Medicare, Medicaid or you want a cash transaction. Believe it or not - the pricing is somewhat set in the law and policies of the insurance carriers and what they or law requires. A cash transaction is the lowest cost, but these items are NEW and usually not cheap.
This item is a CD only of over 1,100 pages with illustrations - and is .05 cents product cost plus the web site default for shipping of $14.95 - $15.00 total.
Not EVERYTHING we carry or can get as Prosthetics, a Prosthesis and / or Orthotics is in the this catalog, but 99 percent of the items are. We simply could not afford to spend thousands of hours listing all the items and the hard drive space they would have taken and in the online website database.
Some items in the Catalog for a Prosthesis do require a Physician or Medical Professional order be sent to us directly.
This item and any parts vended to you from it is for personal use only and should not be used to shop a prostheticist for what you see in it - they will not like that most likely, and will want to know more about where you got it more than likely.
You cannot go into business selling the items from it, and you cannot go into business being a prostheticist. Many states require a State issued license to do so, but you can service YOUR OWN prosthettic device or re-buildit, or build fone for yourself from scratch - NEW.
The Prosthetic industry wants to believe there is something special about building a leg prosthetic when there is not. The industry wants you to believe there is some kind of "magic" only a prostheticist can perform when it is NOT - it is only an industry kept secret they do not want you to know.
If you do not know where to start, or you have an amputation coming up you will be subjected to - this book is for you. The Prosthetic industry wants to keep you from buying parts direct, like external prosthetic things and parts are controlled medical devices, when the truth is - they are NOT controlled medical devices.
Otto Bock normally sells only through certified prostheticists certified by them, so most of their items are not on this CD – including the C-leg and all associated parts, accessory items, feet and et cetera.
This belief came about when and because Insurance carriers required a prescription from a Medical Doctor before they would be able to PAY for a Prosthetic item - and has been grossly twisted and distorted as to the truth and distributors and most prosthetic manufacturers thus will not sell direct - actually simply because they just want to deal with personnel who know the jargon and because manufacturers warranties are tied to proper installation. the FDA which regulates the prosthetic industry, only considers INTERNAL (i.e. surgical devices like hip replacements etc) prosthetic "medical devices" which require approval and thus prescriptions.
This is the companion CD to the Book - "Amputation and the Lies They tell You" where you will find some interesting things you should know about drugs, the insurance industry, Medicare and Medicaid as it relates to prostheses, and why a Prostheticist is really not your friend.

Sophia Lindop excelled herself last year by producing two cookery books. There are always exciting things going on in her kitchen, especally when she is entertaining tourists to Cape Town who have the chance, Chez Lindop, to eat some good Cape Food and drink some of our finest wines. This wonderful timballo is a fine example of what goes on in Sophia’s kitchen.
Bring the salted water to the boil. Cook the bucatini for 10 minutes, using a fork to ensure that the pasta does not clump together. Drain and toss in very little olive oil – if too oily it will be harder to prepare the tart base. Set aside to cool.
Spray a 25cm spring-form tin with non-stick spray. Place the bucatini strands in the bottom, in tight circles, starting on the outside, and working your way to the middle. Set aside and prepare the filling.
Mix the crème fraîche, chives, dill and eggs in a bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and add the nutmeg. Gently add the haddock to the mixture.
Cut out a circle of baking paper the size of the tin. Mix the butter into the breadcrumbs and use a little extra butter to generously brush one side of the baking paper. Pour the filling onto the pasta base, top with the breadcrumbs, and place the buttered circle of baking paper on top.
Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Open the tin and remove the sheet of paper. Place a round platter on top of the tart and carefully flip over so that the breadcrumbs are on the bottom. Carefully remove the metal base of the spring-form tin.
Top with wild rocket and serve warm.

Anjelica Huston’s memoir A Story Lately Told has a few snippets of her life as a schoolgirl in London (not many, but perhaps worth reading–and the entire book is phenomenal). As well, the first book of A.S. Byatt’s Frederica Quartet, The Virgin in the Garden discusses Frederica’s life as a schoolgirl (albeit in Yorkshire and not in London). The entire book series deals very closely with life in England (and especially London in the last two books) in the 1950s/1960s and might be of some interest!
I don’t mind trash! Thanks, Simmone. You’ve given me an excuse to check out Shirley Conran, who I’ve never read before. (I think Jilly Cooper also wrote some books about girls – I’ll have to check when they were set. But maybe they were 1970s, rather than 1960s.) Thanks for all the other suggestions, too, they sound very helpful. I’m getting the impression that life in the early 1960s was very different to the late 1960s, so the counterculture stuff may be not as relevant to my research needs (but still fascinating to read about).
Hm, I’m surprised I can’t think of more! Was it because the Chalet School et al were so dominant in this period that they crowded out more thoughtful, nuanced school stories? Interesting!
Thank you, Kate! I will see if I can find an affordable copy of Autumn Term. My usually reliable library has no Forest books whatsoever! I’m just hoping some publisher negotiates with whoever owns the Forest copyright and re-issues all the books – there seems to be a lot of demand for them. Thanks also for the other recommendations.
There are tons of pre-war schoolgirl series, but not many post-war ones that were actually set in the 1950s or 1960s. I wonder if that was because American series like Nancy Drew became more prominent during that era.
I love John Verney’s books particulary Friday’s Tunnel and February’s Road. They are a great spoofy well written series with shaggy illustrations and I still read them when I need a lift. Actually, Sophie’s voice is somewhat reminiscent of February’s!
Thank you, Debbie! I had never heard of John Verney before and these sound so intriguing. I will check them out!
and one for boys) is worth checking out.
Thank you, Megan, that reference book sounds very helpful and so does the new Michelle Magorian book! I’ll have to see if I can track down copies of them here.
This is very exciting news! Thank you for letting me know, Kate!

“This protest piece is in response to America’s longstanding obsession with gun culture and our government’s inability to honor the victims of mass shootings by distancing themselves from the homicidal policies of the NRA,” a news release from INDECLINE stated, according to Fox 5 in Las Vegas.
Police began investigating after the vandalism was reported, and the message was taken down within hours.
The sign stands off Interstate 15, less than five miles from the Mandalay Bay resort and casino, where a gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers from the 32nd floor, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds more. The Oct. 1 attack was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
A Feb. 14 mass shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 people dead was also used as inspiration for the billboard, a spokesman told AP.
AP could not immediately reach management at Battlefield Las Vegas, the company in the original advertisement, for comment.
INDECLINE also claimed to be behind the naked statues of then-candidate Donald Trump that popped up across the U.S. in 2016.

The clip of animals drinking has more than 1 million views.
Who knew watching animals drinking water could be so soothing?
A new clip going viral on YouTube features a camera at the bottom of a bucket in the Texas desert. The footage shows various creatures as they drop by for a sip or a slurp.
John Wells of the Field Lab ― an “experiment in sustainable living” located in southwest Texas ― said the bees seen early in the video were all rescued. He also wrote on reddit that the longhorn at the end of the video was his pet, Ben.
Wells has posted dozens of videos showing life in the desert; he also writes a blog chronicling his experiences in Terlingua Ranch, about 300 miles west of San Antonio.

Are your stores currently covered in EASTER stuff already?
their Easter stuff out now.
Valentine’s Day manicures, do you?
I love how they came out, don’t you?
as the glitter and rhinestone adhesive.
rhinestone on the nail and shaped them into beautiful hearts.
What do you think of this nail art look for Valentine’s Day?
Beautiful! Did you freehand the heart shapes or use some kind of stencil or guide?
These are so you! 🙂 When I read Hearts of Stone as the title, I was picturing a far less blingy look, but I should've known better! Very cute!
Thanks love! It gets easier with practice, I promise!
Well thank you 🙂 I love a bit of sparkle on my nails!
These are fantastic! I love it.

The colour predictions at Premier Vision showed a palette grounded in natural tones for S/S 2008, with yellow-infused tints and citrus accents adding a freshness and light. Stormy greys and earthen hues with dulled, sludgy overtones dominate, whilst ruddy purples update what is a key colour for A/W 2007 into a softer mood.
The names of the colours reflect the season’s juxtaposition; starless, clayey, muddy and tender green are hardened with peroxide, chrome, chemical and acid, whilst torrid and stormy add a further agressive edge.

Annabel Candy is an nature-loving travel blogger who lives in Australia and recently went on a bear hunt in Canada where she spotted several grizzlies and a black bear. She shares blogging tips at Successful Blogging and helps other writers or small business owners set up user-friendly blogs.
Before I had children I vowed that I would never be as embarrassing as my own parents were.
My mum and dad didn’t have much of a chance as mum was about six inches taller than dad so they looked embarrassing, even before they started telling stories about how clumsy I was, or what heights of achievement I’d reach when I left school.
But now I have my own kids I’ve realized that no matter what I do, or how hard I try to be a cool mum, my kids will still be embarrassed by me. So rather than running from that I’ve embraced it.
Plus my children have embarrassed me far more than my own parents ever did by doing things like pooing in the grocery store, telling their teachers my innermost secrets and turning up everywhere barefoot and grubby.
So it’s only fair that I embarrass them in return now. Kids, it’s payback time.
Here’s a list of some easy ways to embarrass your kids which my 14 year old son helped me pull together. Please note you will need to make sure you do these things in the presence of other people, preferably their closest friends.
Make sure you kiss and hug them everyday, either outside school or before you drop them at the bus stop.
Sing along to their favorite tracks in the car.
Dance round the kitchen while you make supper.
Ask if they’ve read Puberty Boy yet.
Drop them off wearing your dressing gown.
Use those endearing childhood nicknames like Lukey pots, pinky or Maximoomoo.
Put a little note in their lunch box telling then how much you love them, or if they’re on Facebook do it there.
Just be yourself. No matter how hard you try, or try not to embarrass your kids, it’s bound to happen. It’s just a normal part of the mother-child relationship.
So embrace it, have fun with it and embarrass away.
Remember it’s all part of the family tradition. One day your kids may have kids of their own and that embarrassment cycle will continue forever.
Thank you so much… Annabel Candy, as usual you are such a fun read!!! I have to say I am kind of relieved that you aren’t my mum and I will definitely be taking tips – since I have quite a few kiddo’s waiting in the queues to be mortified by their parent!!! Thanks again for joining our Celebrity Fun!!!
Oh yes, you have so many kids to embarass there, it’s going to be a lot of fun!
Oh Annabel Candy, Thank you so very much for joining in!!! this is a very fun list and I can’t wait to hear what my kids have to say about it!!! Hope you have a fabulous week!!!
Se7en, I bet they can come up with another 7 ideas!
Hay Annabel!!! I decided not to ask them and see what they came up with – all on their own!!! Thaks for your fun post again and all “the social pluses”… Hope you have a fabulous day!!!
I LOVE THIS!!!! heheheheh…made me giggle… I think it is GREAT FUN to embarrass my kiddos. I think they will grow quite fond of the embarrassing moments someday when they are old— I know my dad still makes me blush when we are out in public. He as such a sense of humor! Three cheers for loving our kids!!!!
p.s. have you ever seen this dad— http://waveatthebus.blogspot.com/p/170-days.html He dressed up in for 170 days and waved at his son going off to school on the bus… . he is awesome!!!
I know Katherine Marie… We indulge in a little playfulness and mess with our kids minds – just a “little” bit!!! Actually I can think of nothing better than fabricating a whole “scenario” that they fall for so completely only to discover – whoops!!! Very fun… though at this stage for some reason – my kids are a whole lot more embarrassing to me than vice-versa… I definitely need to work on this!!!
Oh Katherine Marie… You have got to be kidding!!! That is hysterical!!! Hope you have a great week!!!

This recipe is adapted from Faye Levy's Sensational Chocolate (an out-of-print book that's usually available from Amazon). The original recipe includes Grand Marnier liqueur and egg whites; I use the no-egg variation and omit the orange flavoring.
Melt chocolate in 1/2 cup cream in a medium bowl over hot water. Stir until smooth. Remove from water; let cool for 3 minutes.
In a large chilled bowl, whip 1 cup cream with vanilla and sugar until just stiff.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Divide among 4 or 5 small ramekins. Refrigerate 3 hours. Can be stored, covered, in refrigerator for 1 day. If your family is anything like mine, it won't last that long!

Magnolia figo (also called Banana Shrub, Port Wine Magnolia, Michelia figo) is an evergreen tree growing to 3-4 m tall. It is native to China. Initially described as by Portuguese missionary and naturalist João de Loureiro as Liriodendron figo, it was reclassified as Michelia figo by German botanist Curt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel. In 2006, a cladistic analysis of the genus Michelia found them to lie within the genus Magnolia, with the name now being Magnolia figo. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens for its fragrant flowers, which are cream-white, purple rounded, or light-purple, and strongly scented. The leaves are leathery, dark glossy-green, up to 10 cm long. This plant is used in Shanghai, China, as a tall evergreen hedge. It grows to a large evergreen compact tree. It grows in acid and alkaline soil very well. Susceptible to black soot.

This is an easy recipe to make delicious strawberry jam. Make it when strawberries are cheap for an easy addition to the kitchen.
Wash jam jars in hot soapy water then put then in the oven at 100˚c until you are ready for them.
Put in a large bowl and mash them.
Put them in a heavy based saucepan, add sugar and lemon juice.
Heat at low heat until sugar is dissolved.
Bring to boil. Boil for 10-20 minutes or until a little bit of jam on a cold saucer wrinkles when pushed with the finger.
Skim any scum off the top or add knob of butter and stir. Cool a little.
Ladle into warm dry jars. Fill to near the top. Secure the lid. Tip upside down to sterilise lid with hot jam.
Store jam in fridge or cool dry place.

The three sisters on their first day of freshman year. Although they aren’t as close as they used to be they still find an importance in mantaing a bond, says Julia Lane.
Sharing birthdays, classes, and even a closet with two others may sound like a punishment but sophomores Stephanie, Nicole, and Julia Lane are used to the concept.
The three sisters are triplets and have grown up knowing no different, and although the triplets seemingly share a life together, they still find themselves branching off into their own unique personalities.
Even though the triplets aren’t as close as they were when they were younger, they are still very tight, according to Nicole. This provides them with the ability to help each other out in different ways.
As for sharing birthdays, Nichole says she has known no different her entire life and that the concept of not sharing a birthday, like they share almost everything else, is foreign.
Despite the apparent upsides of being a triplet, it has its downsides as well. Like when other assume aspects of the triplets looks and personalities that aren’t true, according to Stephanie.
positives outweigh the negatives by far.

Most graphic designers work under the client-hire umbrella: they market their services to those who need their designs but never realize profits above and beyond the originally commissioned work. While it's a great gig for some and a highly lucrative profession for many, it's not the only way to make money as a graphic designer. Graphic design actually offers many opportunities to earn a relatively passive income, and one such opportunity is to print posters for sale. If you're like many graphic designers, your artwork started out as a hobby before it became a career; and you probably still enjoy crafting original, non-client funded masterpieces. Market these works as posters, and you can easily print your way to profit. The following article demonstrates how you can design, sell and print commercial posters for a secondary or full-time income source.
Successfully printing posters for sale can be a difficult path, particularly for the unestablished who do not have a contact for breaking into the business. One great way to leapfrog the competition is to test your niche before you bring anyone else on board. Design a few posters in your favorite topic, or at least with subjects you believe to be marketable and enjoy working with. Next, print posters - a handful of each - for distribution. Then approach smaller, high-traffic shops located where your target audience shops and see if you can place your posters in the rack in exchange for a profit share. It might be difficult to find favor with a nationwide company early on, so partnering with smaller mom 'n' pop shops will make it easier for you to get your work in front of your customer base. Track what sells and what doesn't so you can start building a loyal customer base from a single niche.
When you first started out you had an assumption of what might sell and who it might sell to, but after you tested your niche you should know beyond a shadow of a doubt what sells and who buys it. Armed with this information, you can set up your own poster shop via your own website and/or sites such as Ebay and Etsy. You will have to market your work, but this will become easier since you know who to target. You can also continue to target mom 'n' pop shops, and you can also start seeking licensing deals with larger retail establishments. In each scenario you'll have to continue to print posters, enough to deal with the demand, but you should start to get a good sense for sales volume. When you know this, you can print ahead and save money at the printing press, which will make your endeavor more profitable.
If you have great artwork and are already selling posters to an established market at a predictable rate of profit, it's time to hit the big time by seeking licensing deals with large-poster distributors, manufacturers and retail chain outlets such as Wal-Mart. When you make it to this step the actual poster production will likely be out of your hands, and you will be paid for the sale of your artwork. This is where a poster artist can truly make serious money from original designs. You can try to jump to this step out of the gate, but if you already have achieved success it will be far easier to ink profitable deals for yourself.

Some background information is necessary. Back in May, when I was finalizing the timing for this trip to the Canadian Rockies, I scheduled the first eight days at Lake Louise and Jasper; the final 5-6 days were to be spent on a photo tour centered in David Thompson Country, led by Royce Howland (much more on the tour later in this series). While I was in the process of trying to prioritize daily shooting options while staying in Lake Louise–I knew I had far more that I wanted to do than time in which to do it–I asked Royce if he had any suggestions. He threw me a curve ball by recommending something that hadn’t been on the menu–a day trip to Lake O’Hara.
I hadn’t been familiar with Lake O’Hara–which is located just across the provincial border from Lake Louise, in Yoho National Park in British Columbia–up to that point, but Royce described it as “one of the crown jewels of the Canadian Rockies.” When a photographer with decades of experience in the region (Royce) makes a statement like this, someone who doesn’t know his a** from his elbow with regard to the area (me) should sit up and take notice…so I did.
So, if you want to go up there for the day, you can ride up on the bus as early as 8:30 AM and come back as late as 6:30 PM, which gives you a nice, solid 10 hours on the ground. The only hang up? The number of people allowed into the area is so highly restricted (to protect the fragile alpine environment) that you must call exactly three months to the day that you want to access the area in order to have a chance to secure a spot. So, for a reservation in late September, I had to call in late June. Oh, and the phone call? The line doesn’t open until 9 AM (Mountain Time) and if you don’t get through to a person by 10 AM, you can basically forget it (the reservation space will be eaten up). Oh, and there’s no sitting on hold–if you don’t get through to the sole person answering the only phone, you get a busy signal and you have to try again. If this sounds like something from the era of Leave It To Beaver, it should.
To make a long story modestly less long, I decided that September 24–my first full day, and one of only two full days I was due to spend in the area–was the day to shoot for (if you’ll pardon the pun), so I dutifully made my call at 10 AM (Central Time) on June 24…and failed to get through…again and again and again. I must have hit redial at least 300 times and finally, after about 50 minutes, I got something other than a busy signal. I literally obtained the last seat on the 8:30 bus for September 24. Hooray.
A bit of foreshadowing: at some point during the summer, when I was thinking about the then-upcoming trip, I thought to myself that the one thing that I hoped to avoid on the day of the Lake O’Hara visit was an all-day rain.
About five days before I was due to fly to Calgary–roughly one week before Lake O’Hara Day–I started checking the weather forecast for the Lake Louise area. You know what’s coming. At first, the forecast was calling for a chance of showers…or, at one point, a chance of morning showers. From that point, I checked the forecast daily and every day, it seemed to get a bit worse. By Sunday–the day before my flight, three days before Lake O’Hara–the forecast was simply “rain.” And it stayed that way. By the evening of Tuesday the 23rd–the day I drove from Calgary to Lake Louise Village, and the day before Lake O’Hara–the forecast was calling for a 70-80% chance of rain the next day. Great.
I woke up well before dawn on the 24th, quickly got my things together and headed outside in the pitch dark. To my surprise it wasn’t raining. With my hopes up just a tad, I got in the car. It takes about two minutes to drive from the parking lot of the motel I was staying at to the Trans Canada Highway for the 10-15 minute drive west to the Lake O’Hara parking area. Before I reached the highway, the windshield was streaked with rain drops. And, unfortunately, that was to be the story the rest of the day.
A light rain fell all the way during the drive to the parking area. It continued to rain as I sat in the car, waiting for the light to come up. It was still raining when I meandered over to the bus loading area, to hand in my reservation form. It rained while I sat on the bus, waiting for it to depart. It rained all the way on the ride up to Lake O’Hara. It rained as I hit the trail. And it never stopped all day long. I mean that literally. At no point during the entire day, did the rain stop. Once or twice it was very light…but it never completely stopped and most of the time it oscillated between a light steady rain and a moderate steady rain. On occasion, the wind picked up, just to add to the misery index.
The attraction, photographically, of a trip to Lake O’Hara isn’t necessarily the lake itself. Don’t get me wrong, Lake O’Hara is quite pretty, but it isn’t obviously nicer than many other alpine lakes in the Canadian Rockies. No, the appeal is the opportunity to take one of a number of trails that emanate from Lake O’Hara. Of these trails, the one that sounded the most appealing to me when I was planning the trip was the Opabin Circuit. This trail loops around part of Lake O’Hara and then climbs up to the Opabin Plateau, which lies to the southeast, past several small lakes to the edge of Opabin Lake which sits below several glaciers, and then loops around the same group of lakes back toward Lake O’Hara. The Opabin Plateau sits hundreds of feet above the valley that includes Lake O’Hara, so it’s necessary to climb up, and then down. The circuit is roughly five miles in length, but contains many side routes that the hiker can take that will lengthen the trek.
One of the appeals of the Opabin Plateau was the opportunity to traverse a series of larch groves. The larch is the only coniferous tree species that sheds its needles each year. In the fall, the needles turn a bright golden color before falling off. I’d seen pictures of larches in the fall and I really wanted to see this phenomenon for myself.
And so, I dragged my sorry behind, through the constant rain, up to the Opabin Plateau. I ended up being on the ground in the area for about 6 1/2 hours. Even though I had dressed for the occasion, I still got drenched, as did my gear.
I know of a number of people who claim that they enjoy photographing in the rain. Obviously these people are suffering from one of several serious mental defects, because I’m here to tell you that it’s a miserable experience. Off-and-on rain is annoying, but workable. Extremely light rain–drizzle, say–can be dealt with. Steady rain, in a place utterly devoid of shelter (e.g. the Opabin Plateau) is another thing entirely. It’s almost impossible to keep the front lens element (or filter) dry, which makes picture taking unpleasant at best. It’s also nearly impossible to change lenses. And, if your equipment–cameras and lenses–isn’t weather-sealed, shooting is basically a non-starter.
On this day, over 6 1/2 hours in the field, I created a grand total of 12 unique shots. 12. Two of those 12 were basically grab shots, and a third was essentially ruined because I was evidently in such a hurry to get the camera out of the rain that I goofed up my focus settings and ended up with a soft foreground. The other nine shots accompany this entry.
Hopefully the images I’ve included here provide some semblance of the jaw-dropping beauty of the place. With everything soaking wet, the colors were naturally heavily saturated. There was a golden color to both the larch trees and the grasses (which were already in the early stages of dormancy, with winter approaching). Even with the flat light, lousy visibility and the relative lack of reflections (a function of the wind blowing ripples on the lake surfaces), I think you can get a sense of what I was seeing with every step I took, in every direction I cast a glance.
I can only imagine what the place would have looked like with anything approaching a clear vista, in any direction.
My discovery of an inlet stream to Hungabee Lake and the ensuing cascades and waterfalls was one of those “I have to get a shot” (or in this case, two) situations.
Lying at the northern end of the Opabin Plateau is a rocky outcropping called the Opabin Prospect. It overlooks the valley including Lake O’Hara and, even with the wind blowing rain in my face, I had to figure out some kind of way to get out to the edge and produce one image.
On my descent back to the valley, via the West Opabin Trail, I photographed the valley lakes from a slightly different perspective.
By the time I reached the valley floor–still about a mile short of the Le Relais shelter, which doubles as the Lake O’Hara bus depot, the rain had hardened. It was now mid-afternoon, and I had decided to take the next bus out (4:30 PM–I had a good, solid hour wait); I’d abandoned any plans to photograph around Lake O’Hara, given how cold and wet it was. It was a good call on my part, because not five minutes after I reached the shelter it started to really pour. For the next 90-odd minutes the rain alternated between hard and steady and outright downpour. The steady rain continued on the ride back to the parking area and all the way back to Lake Louise…and as far as I know, didn’t stop until some time well after dark.
I spent a good chunk of the evening using a hair dryer to dry out my backpack, hiking boots, and articles of clothing.
It had been an interesting day. The conditions (as I have undoubtedly demonstrated) were awful, but the place itself had been mind-blowing. I was left with the knowledge that I’d had my only crack at it. (I later found out that the next day–the only other day that it had been an option to secure a reservation–was a rerun in terms of all-day rain–which shocked me because I spent the day in and around Moraine Lake and Lake Louise and it didn’t rain at all.) I was left to ponder the means by which I could return to Lake O’Hara some day, in an attempt to give the place its photographic due through my eyes.
Agreed, the area really must be seen first hand to be truly appreciated, and I definitely think you’ve hit on one of the primary reasons why–the sense that you’re standing in the middle of it and incredible things can be seen no matter which direction you look. I think the Kootenay Plains area (which I’ll cover down the pike) probably epitomizes the 360-degree aspect of things as well or better than any other spot I visited during the trip, but it’s truly a ubiquitous concept in the region.
Isn’t Kerry just totally amazing Jerry? Wow, what an amazing day, and the determination it took for Kerry to trudge through the rain to get these spectacular images.
Truly the journey will never be forgotten and truly worth the effort. Makes me want to buy some underwater housing for my camera kit for days just as this.
Such an incredible series Kerry and thank you so much for sharing your story. It was well worth the effort.
Thanks very much, Emily, for the exceptionally kind words.
Lovely shots even in the rain. Not usually bothering with sophisticated post processing and often using super zooms and the like, especially on long hikes, I do like the fact the highlights and shadows are more controlled when the sun is not shinning bright.
Your photos are gorgeous, in spite of the horrible weather. I give you a lot of credit for going out and shooting in the rain. I would have thrown in the towel.
1) the (unrealized) hope that it might actually stop, even for a few minutes at some point.
2) the recognition that there was no “trying again tomorrow”; I experienced this place then and there or I didn’t experience it at all.
The last image included in this post was the final shot of the day for me, after which time I’d pretty much checked out psychologically. The descent back to Lake O’Hara from the plateau, on the West Opabin Trail, wasn’t much fun; it’s an extremely steep trail at that point, which was rapidly turning to a combination of mud and wet rocks, and the rain was starting to come down harder. At that stage I just wanted to get down safely and get out of the wet.
We’ve had the conversation about how absolutely, unbelievably gorgeous Lake O’Hara is. Your photos demonstrate your determination to capture some of the beauty regardless of the conditions. I recognized Hungabee Lake even before I read the caption. You are meant to be here. I know you’ll be back.
Great work, Kerry, despite what you had to endure to get the work completed. We can only image what it would have looked like without the rain.
These are wonderful photos, despite the conditions, Kerry. The story, on the other hand, is absolutely priceless.
The Lake O’Hara experience was, by leaps and bounds, the biggest disappointment of the trip. The second biggest was probably being unable to hike the Larch Valley Trail (which emanates from Moraine Lake) due to the group hiking restrictions in place at that time of the year (a function of bear activity), but I knew long before I left that this was the case. The thing about Lake O’Hara is that a reservation has to be set up so far in advance (three months) that there’s obviously no way to know what kind of weather you’ll get on the access day itself. And given how highly variable–and localized–weather conditions are there, it’s always going to be a crap shoot.
In any case, as unfortunate as this was, by no means did it ruin the rest of the trip–not even close, in fact. While there were a few other fizzle situations (e.g. sunrises or sunsets that didn’t really materialize), that’s utterly predictable over a two-week period, and for the most part conditions were pretty good the rest of the time.
Wonderful work. I love the high vantage points!
Hey Kerry: I agree with your comments about photographers who say they “like” shooting in the rain. I can recommend a good psychologist 😁 .
Over the years, I have been very fortunate with weather, when I have committed a slot of time and $ for a trip somewhere I may not get back to easily. The one or two experiences where I have had rain have been situations where, like you did here, I have just had to make the best of a bad situation. I have made a couple images over the years where I have applied the old saying about lemonade from lemons.
You did that here. I am glad you hung in there long enough to make your penultimate image – I really like it. It is unique and I might even choose it over one in which the weather was much nicer.
As always – impressive work, reflecting you great preparation, determination and vision!
Thanks very much, Andy. I’ve been fairly lucky with conditions myself, for the most part. There have been exceptions, of course, and this Lake O’Hara experience was the most noteworthy and disappointing of them.
The image you singled out is worthy of a bit of background. I wanted to include all of Lake O’Hara (the lake to the right in the image) in the shot and I also wanted to include a bit of the rock face that forms the Opabin Prospect itself as part of the foreground for the purposes of depth, without having the rock merge with the background lake. That meant a bit of finagling with the tripod/camera position. The Opabin Prospect is a bit uneven, and there are some places where you have to step or jump over some good-sized gaps in the rocky floor to get where you want to go. In dry conditions, without the burden of a tripod and camera gear, these wouldn’t even merit a consideration, but with everything soaking wet and footing being less than ideal, I had to be pretty careful when maneuvering around. This was also the one time during the day that I changed lenses, from the 24-70 to the 14-24 (24 mm wasn’t wide enough). The rain (and wind) made this very difficult, but I managed to find a small overhang, about three feet above ground level, under which I placed my backpack and made the switch in the relative shelter of that position.
Ah Kerry, in spite of the difficult conditions, you captured magic through the lens. Thank you for sharing the great story as well as the spectacular images. The 4th photo has drawn me back over and over to look at it again.
The shot you referenced came as I hit a high spot, overlooking most of the northern 2/3 of the Opabin Plateau itself. It was raining (of course), and the wind started blowing while I was trying to size up the shot, and it was swirling, which was a real pain in the behind. The worst part was that I could see that I needed a polarizer on the lens to kill the glare coming off the water surfaces you see in the frame. Just attaching that filter, under the conditions, was a royal pain in the behind. I draped a plastic bag I had with me for just this sort of contingency over the entire tripod-mounted rig and screwed the filter on the front element of my 24-70 mm lens. This wasn’t easy because, in addition to the obvious problems of working with the inside of the bag, the wind was blowing it all over the place, making things even more difficult. Then there was the problem of properly rotating the filter without getting it splotched with rain drops…ugh, this retelling of the story is bringing the whole thing back to me in glorious technicolor. 🙂 Geez, that whole experience was frustrating.
The amazing thing, Kerry, is that you persevered and got such gorgeous shots, in spite of horrible conditions. I must admit I am a fair weather photographer and gardener; I think I’m just getting too old to deal with those conditions. So, kudos to you for hanging in there and taking away something so extraordinary!
Thanks again, Lynn, for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
In spite of myself, I’m not satisfied with the Lake O’Hara area shots, at least in part, because I had a chance to get a sense of the real potential of the place, and how far short of that potential I fell. The dissonance on my part is so acute that I’m seriously attempting to see if I can manage to get back there next fall and rectify the shortcomings.
I haven’t felt an urge this strong to return to a location at least since my first visit to the Canaan Valley area of West Virginia in October, 2010. The conditions during my few days there were so bad (lousy color, high winds and blue sky days) that I came back with very little that was worthwhile despite the incredibly obvious potential. I went back for a full week the following autumn and scratched that itch, quite successfully, I think. This experience isn’t entirely analogous since I most certainly didn’t strike out for the entire time in the Rockies–quite the contrary, in fact (I came back with so much that even now, three weeks after returning, I still haven’t worked up at least 60% of my shots). My disappointment is almost entirely limited to Lake O’Hara itself, but I can’t seem to help myself in terms of the desire to get back there. We’ll see what happens.
I empathise with your weather experience, as it has happened to me but it does show how beautiful it is even in adverse conditions.I love the golden glow in the fifth photo of Hungabee Lake and the vista in the second-last one.
Thanks, Jane. Glad you noticed that glow in the one Hungabee Lake image–it was the only time all day (this would have been early in the afternoon) something like that happened. This was at a point where I actually thought the rain might stop–it was very light at that stage and things brightened considerably very briefly. I never actually saw any sunlight, but there must have been a significant thinning of the cloud layers. It lasted for a minute, perhaps. Then it got darker and the rain picked up again and it never really slackened for the remainder of the day.

These awards recognise the strength of our cutting-edge proprietary technology: how its transparency underpins our personal client relationships, and how its fully interrogable analysis and reporting enriches our conversations. They acknowledge how our technological sophistication draws a line from our top-line investment thinking, research and solutions right through to a client’s individual portfolio; our skill in managing discretionary accounts; and how our technology platform enables the seamless operation of our new investment advisory service, with built-in risk controls, customised investment ideas and ‘smart’ asset allocation. The awards also singled out our Global Assets + service, a best-in-class solution for the custody and reporting of a client’s entire wealth, including assets held with third parties, and valuations for illiquid assets such as art, private equity and real estate.
“The judges were struck by the way in which their winner pushes the boundary of innovation,” was the panel’s feedback.
For an unprecedented third year in a row, this award recognises our truly outstanding ‘Rethink Everything’ campaign – originally launched in 2016 – and its growing success with each season. It rewards our ability to capture and communicate the true spirit of our bank. The judges considered how our focus on the ‘Sustainability Revolution’ married captivating and enticing visuals with complex analysis and treatment of one of the most important themes in today’s investment world. The award recognises how the campaign effectively underscores our bank’s long history and unequivocal commitment to being both a sustainable company and a sustainable investor, and how it brought together internal and external thought-leaders to rethink crucial issues around sustainability, such as fostering a sustainable society and designing investments for the next generation.
“It was our winner’s imaginative, pertinent and contemporary campaign centred on the issue of sustainability that attracted our judges. Its creative approach was also closely aligned to this firm’s core heritage and culture,” was the panel’s feedback.
Our UK Private Bank’s ultra-high net worth team received a special commendation from the judges. This commendation reflects our belief in personal client relationships and bespoke investment solutions, in a world of increasingly industrialised and standardised offers. It celebrates our daily, deeply attentive and personal client service, and a hiring policy that reflects this commitment, with a focus on selective recruitment of high quality, experienced bankers, and a low ratio of clients to advisors. The judges were impressed by the evolution of our investment offering in 2018, and especially by the new, holistic ‘goal-based’ approach within our discretionary investment service, which allows us to translate our clients’ goals into a robust asset allocation.

This was a comprehensive inspection which took place on 11 January 2018 and was announced. We gave the service 48 hours’ notice of the inspection visit because the location provides a domiciliary care service and we needed to be sure a registered manager would be available to facilitate the inspection.
The inspection was undertaken by two adult social care inspectors from the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Before our inspection we contacted the relevant local authority commissioning teams and the local safeguarding teams. This was to gain their views on the care delivered by the service. We did not receive any negative comments about the service.
During the inspection we spoke with the two registered managers, who run the service jointly from the Bolton office. We also spoke with the quality and compliance officer, the deputy Chief Executive Officer and operations manager, the business support officer and ten members of care staff. We spoke face to face with seven people who used the service, and contacted a further 22 people by telephone following the inspection visit to gather their views. We also gained the views of two people via e mail. We spent time at the office and looked at ten care files, 12 staff personnel files, training records, staff supervision records, service user satisfaction surveys, meeting minutes and audits.

In light of the terrorist attacks in Boston earlier this week, ABC is pulling an episode of “Castle” that features a bomb-related plot, a network spokesperson confirms to TheWrap.
The episode, “Still,” was scheduled to air on Monday, but ABC has moved it to April 29. In its place, another new episode, “The Squab and the Quail," will air.
"Beckett's life is on the line when she steps on a pressure sensitive bomb. While the team searches for a way to disarm the explosive, Castle distracts Beckett by arguing with her about who fell for whom first."
ABC’s decision follows other network schedule changes this week. NBC pre-empted “Revolution” for special news coverage. And Fox pulled an already aired episode of “Family Guy” from its website and Hulu after a repurposed video from the episode that made it seem like the animated show was depicting the Boston bombings went viral.

So sorry for such a late post, but I got sick this past weekend and of course that just threw all my plans for the bathroom out the window. I did manage to buy most of the accessories, but I was hoping to get the bathroom painted at the very least. That clearly did not happen since I was just feeling so out of it and just had to go home and rest. I'm feeling a little better today, but still not my 100% self. Fingers crossed that I feel better by tomorrow.
Hope you all had a great weekend! I'll be back tomorrow with some fun stuff!

Just outside the categories “automagic” and “it just works”.
Much like those though, it’s all about convenience. One of the great things about knowing in-depth things about computers is being able to deal with the pains that come with doing in-depth things with computers. Take a second to re-read that if you need to, I’m not rewriting it. Back on point though, I often have to go through a process manually to get things to work just right. It doesn’t matter if the process is short or not, after a while it just starts getting on your nerves.
So what do you do when you’re wasting precious seconds of your life dealing with frivolous tasks? You simplify and automate them! And so I try my best to wrap up the process in as small a package as possible. Then I can just run that instead of getting my hands dirty. I set it up once, and can completely forget how everything works after; all I need to know is the “go do that thing” command.
Works perfectly! …Until something breaks and I forgot why I did what.
Automating things is good but there becomes a point when it’s too much. Sometimes you get lazy, or you forget about the process. Not that I’ve had that happen to me too much. I love IFTT.
< Do as I say, not as I do.

From earliest times the belief has persisted that to name something is to objectify it, to make it real and to give it independent existence. This can get philosophers and theologians into all sorts of contortions, but in the altogether humbler realm of computer programming, the naming of a program gives it an authenticity, a distinct personality quite as individual as its original author. It's no longer just 'his' program, it's GALATEA (or whatever). This is even more important in a case of cooperative authorship and development. And if the program in question is expected to exhibit artificial intelligence, then a proper human name such as Multivac or HAL becomes appropriate.

This dish is so full of flavor and healthy at the same time. White miso adds delicate sweetness while upping the umami flavors of fresh salmon. The crunchy, caramelized broccolini is a perfect foil to the tender grilled fish.
Technique tip: Brush the grill with an oiled paper towel using tongs to create a nonstick surface.
Swap option: Use any firm-fleshed fish instead of salmon.
1. Wash and thoroughly pat dry the salmon fillets, remove any bones with tweezers.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, mirin, miso paste, ginger, garlic, vegetable oil and chili flakes.
3. Place salmon fillets in a large zip-top plastic bag, and pour the miso sauce mixture over. Seal and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic and chili. Toss in the broccolini until coated. Set aside until ready to grill.
1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Dip a folded piece of paper towel in oil, and using tongs, wipe the grill with vegetable oil generously multiple times. This will create a non-stick surface and your grill should be black and glossy.
2. Remove salmon from the marinade and place on the grill skin side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook until desired doneness, another 3-4 minutes for medium depending on thickness.
3. Place the broccolini on the grill and cook until tender and charred lightly, about 7-8 minutes depending on thickness.
4. Plate the salmon fillets with the broccolini, garnish with chopped chives and sesame seeds and serve immediately.

The upflush toilet is a great addition to any Antioch home. It is also more cost effective compared to a standard toilet in terms of the amount of flushing water it uses. When the upflush toilet is flushed, the water level will be pressured so that it rises into the treatment tank. In the treatment tank, the grinder motor cuts the feces automatically so that it becomes macerated. The rotating blades will grind the contents in 3 – 4 seconds. The finely ground feces is pumped into a standard pipe which measures 0.75 to 1 inch in diameter. After that, the tank becomes empty so that the system can be reused.
The macerating pump can be installed in areas such as your Antioch attic or basement. Furthermore, the unit is portable and can be moved to a different location. When you want to move the unit, you simply remove the four screws and move it to the desired location.
With Antioch home remodels, there is the problem of the lack of drain line in the location where you want to install the toilet. The upflush toilet solves this problem by simplifying the toilet installation. The installation for the upflush toilet is less time consuming because it does not require you to remove the tiles on the floor of the bathroom. Due to its versatility, upflush toilet is suitable for making temporary toilets, especially for elderly or disabled people.
Upflush toilets cost more than the standard toilet. However, the upflush toilet can be installed anywhere in your Antioch home for less. Compare with the standard toilet which will cost up to a few thousand dollars. If you have already installed the plumb lines, you will not want an upflush toilet. However, if the toilet is unplanned, the up flush design is the most economical option.
When buying upflushing toilets, you can purchase unit that is specifically designed for your Antioch bathroom. This allows all the waters in the unit in the bathroom to be plumbed through a single pipe. If you want to add a sink or shower in the room, this unit is the best option.
Consult with your Antioch plumber if you are considering an upflush toilet for your home.

Today I’m sharing my top five lipsticks from Lakme 9 to 5 series. It has been one of my favorite brand which I don’t think needs any introduction. Honestly, I am so impressed with these 5 shades that I can wear every day without any hesitation. I would definitely recommend you all to check the shades. Now, let’s dive into the details.
When it comes to elegant, romantic look or formal meeting Peach path is my go-to color. It’s a beautiful shade which suits almost every skin tone. Since it’s a creaseless lipstick it is ultra-creamy and very smooth on the lips. It contains vitamin E, olive oil and jojoba oil which leaves your lips nourished all day.
Never underestimate the power of RED lipstick… Yes choosing the right shade of red lipstick was always a task for me until I tried this shade. It’s one of my favorite everyday Red lipstick, super smooth on the lips, but gives a matte finish and stays for a good 5 hours. So if you want to try a red color for the first time, then you should go for it.
Red rebel as the name suggests, is a very popping bright red color with orange undertones which looks perfect for fair skin tone. I absolutely adore the pigmentation of this shade. I just fell in love the first time I used this color. You do not need to apply it even twice, it’s that good with the perfect matte finish. It goes with almost every outfit of any color.
Pink perfect is a beautiful deep fuchsia pink and it looks absolutely gorgeous on every skin tone. It has a very creamy texture with a matte finish. Pigmentation is very good and stays for 4 to 5 hours.
Red chaos is not at all red. It’s a beautiful rosy pink color with brick undertones. When you just want to keep it natural then red chaos is your color. It never feels like wearing a lipstick. It gives a light matte finish with a very smooth texture. What I like most about it that it has no shimmer or glaze. It’s an everyday color for college or casual outings.
I hope you all will like it. Do let me know which one is your favorite in the comments below.

HomeHealth and LifestyleOrganic Meat for a Healthier You: Is it Worth the Extra Cost?
Organic Meat for a Healthier You: Is it Worth the Extra Cost?
The introduction of organic food items lessened people’s exposure to harmful elements such as preservatives and pesticides. Organic meat is rich in nutrients, easily digestible, and can be converted to energy much more efficiently, allowing us to have a healthier body. Eating organic meat also allows better utilisation of fat into energy, which mitigates stress within the organs. This results in more energy and less inflammation.
Apart from proper weight loss practice, understand the importance of eating portion sizes as well. Sticking to good portion control while eating organic meat can maximise your weight loss results.
Buying organic meat online is easy. Just look for reputable websites and follow their instructions for placing orders. As organic meats are of higher quality, they may be on the pricier end. But the benefits they bring to your health are invaluable. The absence of additives, preservatives, and other chemicals is what makes this meat special.
Organic meat such as beef also has a higher amount of conjugated linoleic acids that reduce the amount of LDL cholesterol and may even prevent certain types of cancers. Moreover, because the cows were grown and fed in a natural organic environment, there’s less risk of acquiring bacterial infections like E.coli. When searching for organic meat online, look for certifications from reputable shops.

A 'glory' is a rare optical phenomenon that is mostly seen by pilots and mountain climbers looking down at mists or clouds. Forming a miniature circular rainbow, glories are seen when the Sun shines from behind and interacts with water droplets to refract light back to the observer.
This picture is an even more rare example of a glory seen from space. Snapped by ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst on 14 September 2018 during his Horizons mission, he commented: "Surprised to see a pilot's glory from the International Space Station, an optical phenomenon that is often visible from aircraft, or on volcanoes when looking down in a foggy crater, with Sun in the back. Our shadow is (theoretically) right in the middle of the rainbow, but we don't have a core shadow due to our altitude."
To see a glory at the International Space Station's cruising altitude of 400 km is surprising as they require specific atmospheric conditions.
Our atmosphere extends to 480 km above the surface of Earth but most of it stays within 16 km, making the boundaries of where "space" begins hardly a defined point.
This observatory is not designed to investigate glories but space events such as sprites and blue jets are just as awe-inspiring to view from space. ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen captured a sprite on camera from the International Space Station, proving the phenomenon can be observed from space - rare photos of the phenomena were also taken by pilots and researchers from mountaintops.
Sometimes a simple photograph can spark scientific investigation or even full-blown scientific research. Alexander's pictures of aurora from his last mission in 2014 are adding extra information for researchers analysing these beautiful atmospheric displays of light.
The International Space Station also hosted ESA's Solar facility that monitored the radiation emitted by the Sun across the electromagnetic spectrum. For almost a decade it tracked the Sun to measure our star's energy, delivering the most accurate data on the Sun's power that influences our climate on Earth but also how satellites operate in space.
The phenomenon in this picture is related to atmospheric physics and so strictly speaking not space weather. This week, however ESA is highlighting space weather, from the science behind it and how we study it, to its effect on satellites in space and ESA's plans for the future.

On Monday February 9th I’ll be at Queen’s Park in Toronto to appear before the Ontario parliament’s Standing Committee on Government Agencies as part of their review of the Ontario “Human Rights” Tribunal.
I’m not sure whether it’s open to the public – it might be Standing Committee room only – but I’ll be there at 2pm followed at 2:30pm by Terry Downey of the Ontario Federation of Labour, which supported Mohamed Elmasry and the Canadian Islamic Congress in their suits against Maclean’s for “flagrant Islamophobia”.
Other “stakeholders” will also be appearing, including at 3:30pm a mystery guest “to be confirmed”. Elmo himself? Or maybe OHRC Chief Commissar Barbara Hall? Who knows? But, given the sweeping new powers with which Ontario’s “human rights” regime has been endowed, it is heartening to see legislators subject it to some degree of scrutiny. I look forward to answering the members’ questions.

You probably heard by now, TLC has ordered a full season of Jill and Jessa: Counting On. If you didn’t know, I’m sorry to ruin your day. (But are you really that surprised? I did tell you this could happen and be successful.) But do not dismiss TLC’s continued commitment to the Duggars 2.0; this family and every nuanced aspect of their brand matters more than ever before.
Announced in October, Freeform is the new and improved, edgy teenage version of ABC Family. It’s a less wholesome kind of family with more of exactly what ABC Family has been producing since 2010, when PLL became the network’s staple show. Unlike Secret Life of the American Teenager, current shows like Switched at Birth, Chasing Life and The Fosters present complicated and poignant portrayals of young adulthood and families without preaching or pandering. Nevertheless, the rebrand is a necessary shift for ABC Family, a cable network whose key audience has changed and whose brand identity has always been… wait for it… freeform. According to Variety, Freeform “marks a continued effort to evolve the young-skewing network past traditional family viewing and toward its target audience of “Becomers,” a network-coined term defined as those in the life stage spanning ages 14 to 34”.
Law and Order: SVU – Meet the Bakers. Starring the dad from Two of a Kind.
I’ve never understood this marketing campaign.
The Duggars of 19 Kids and Counting are many things. They are an unorthodox family. They are Conservatives. They are public Evangelicals. They are hypocrites.
In the week since InTouch Weekly published the police report about Josh Duggar’s acts of child molestation, tabloids, advertisers and networks have been quick to respond. You can no longer stream episodes on either Hulu or TLC.com. The latest issue of People, typically the Duggars #1 fan, also covers the scandal.
People Magazine: Casually pretending to not have a symbiotic relationship with the Duggars.
There are also rumors that TLC is considering developing a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff, which would focus on daughters Jill and Jessa.
I know what you’re thinking. How can TLC possibly be considering a spinoff? Hasn’t this family already gotten away with enough hypocrisy?
First, as I have previously written, 19 Kids and Counting is TLC and Discovery’s most profitable show. The network and mass media company will go to great lengths to keep any Duggars on television. Second, a spinoff centered around the Duggar daughters could be intriguing reality television and a potentially genius move.
For those not up on the lives of every Duggar, Jill and Jessa are both married and starting families. (Jill gave birth in May; Jessa is due in November.) They are also presumed to be two of their brother’s victims.
Now consider this. The Duggars have gone to great lengths to keep much of their public lives and agenda separate from the image purported by their reality show. Even as the Duggars 2.0 began using social media (something they can’t do until they begin a courtship) and revealed their strong conservative political/social beliefs, the show itself remained rooted in the idea that the Duggars are just an abnormally large family living the American Dream. But the truth has come out and the aftermath is potentially devastating for both the Duggars and TLC.
If the focus does shift to Jill and Jessa, then the sisters must be as open and honest about their past as possible. The spinoff cannot keep any secrets from audiences anymore. Abuse is an unspoken reality about life in as an Evangelical. Because Evangelical churches are patriarchal institutions, abusers are protected from ramifications. For any Duggar to publicly discuss their experiences as abuse victims would rock the house of Bill Gothard, so to speak.
19 Kids and Counting has spent nearly a decade masking extreme patriarchy behind a veil of Christian family values. So yes, a Duggar spinoff centered around the Duggar women would be revolutionary. And if handled properly, it is the kind of show that might actually earn the (some) Duggars actual respect.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Japan’s fleet of AH-64DJP Apache attack helicopters will soon have improved vision, having finalized a deal with Lockheed Martin to upgrade the Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor, or M-TADS/PNVS, known as "the eyes" of the aircraft.
Lockheed will provide 14 Modernized Day Sensor Assembly, or M-DSA, kits through 2020 to upgrade Japan’s M-TADS systems, the company said Wednesday. The M-DSA "improves laser reliability and the Apache’s ability to designate targets and establish accurate target range," according to a company statement.
The contract also includes Performance-Based Logistics support for three years. Lockheed will also upgrade Japan Ground Self-Defense Force test equipment and train pilots in country.
The Army received M-DSA upgrades to its Apache fleet in a $54.3 million deal with Lockheed Martin early last year. The upgrade allows pilots in the cockpit to see what the sensor sees in color. That same deal also furnished kits to the Qatar Emiri Air Force.
According to the company, it has delivered more than 1,350 M-TADS/PNVS systems and spares to the U.S. Army and other countries, including more than a dozen to Japan.
Japan is the first customer to receive M-DSA kits for in-country installation. Deliveries will start next year and the upgrade kits will be installed by employees of Nippon Electric Company in Japan, according to Lockheed.

Dig out your tape recorder — or should we say, say cheese? — because 13 Reasons Why is back for a second season.
Season 2 of Netflix’s teen drama will premiere on Friday, May 18, the streaming service announced Monday.
Season 1 of 13 Reasons Why drew controversy for its handling of topics including suicide, bullying and depression. Recently, Netflix committed to taking actions to “help support more meaningful conversations” ahead of Season 2, including streaming videos of the actors discussing ways to get support.
Although Jay Asher’s novel, on which the first season is based, does not have a sequel, the author said he would be open to continuing the story.
After Asher was expelled from the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators in February for violating its harassment code, Netflix released a statement saying that the author would not be involved in Season 2 of the teen drama.
Watch the trailer above, then hit the comments to let us know which of Hannah’s friends you are most excited to see again.

As the father of two competitive swimmers, I and my household have been watching a good bit of the U.S. Olympic swimming trials as Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky, Missy Franklin, Ryan Lochte and hundreds of other swimmers compete to represent our country in Rio.
Seven of the swimmers competing in the trials are from my daughters’ swim club, the City of Mobile Swim Association — quite an accomplishment for a city the size of Mobile, Ala. My girls have paid particular attention this week to one of them, Paige Madden, who is also a coach at their summer league pool.
I spoke with another member of the CMSA contingent last week as the group prepared to head to Omaha. Ashton Ellzey just finished her sophomore year at Auburn, and like six of her seven CMSA teammates (Madden, who is still in high school, being the exception) she is representing both her college and her home swim club while competing at the trials.
She told me about her excitement for the trip. She told me about the determination she had and the work she’d put in to earn a scholarship at Auburn and to qualify for the trials in the 50-meter freestyle. And she told me how, when she was younger, her father had to force her to go to practice.
And I thought: So it’s not just mine?
Yes, even athletes good enough to compete for spots on a U.S. Olympic team haven’t always liked to practice. And that makes it a little easier for us parents to deal with the whining when we wake our kids up for morning workouts.
They may never earn a scholarship or qualify or an Olympic trials. But the one thing that I will say with certainty is that my kids won’t spend all their time (some, surely, but not all) lying on the couch watching TV or playing video games.
They will know what it means to compete. They will know what it means to be a part of a team. They will know how to deal with failure, and how to deal with success. They will know, though they may not always like it, the value of hard work and practice.
And maybe, while they’re watching someone they know compete for a chance to go to the Olympics (as long a shot as that chance may be) they will have the same thought that Ashton Ellzey had a few years ago when she was in the same spot, watching other teammates head off for the trials.
Maybe my girls will have that epiphany one day. Maybe not. It’s really OK either way, because even though they complain about going to practice, they always seem to enjoy being in the pool. And every day at the pool is a life lesson.

Finally, here’s one we missed from last week, 750 parkruns worth of t-shirt on display at Fælledparken parkrun, a reminder that Denmark have been parkrunning for a very long time!

Kid’s Wear - Bobo Choses goes adult!
Diary / Fashion / Bobo Choses goes adult!
As a child, the famous anthropologist Jane Goodall was gifted with a chimpanzee cuddly toy. It was named Jubilee. Her love for it was the beginning of her love for animals.
At age four, curious Jane wondered where did eggs come from. She and Jubilee snuck into the henhouse and hid all day long until they observed the miracle.
She grew up and her curiosity led her to Gombe, Africa, where she spent her life watching and learning about chimpanzees.
Bobo Choses Spring Summer 2018 collection Neverending Summer is inspired by Goodallʼs life and the never-ending curiosity of children who love to ask questions. But Jane teaches us that curiosity is a neverending driving force trough all our life… That’s why the Spanish brand came up with a new ranging of sizes filling the gap between kid and grown-ups.
SS18 Woman Neverending Summer will be available exclusively at bobochoses.com from Thursday 15th of February.
