Hi beauties 🌞
As you can tell by the title this post is dedicated to the House of Fraser Beauty Ambassador Competition.. I heard about this from the lovely Nina of Ninarossbeauty 🙂
I know I posted this look not long ago, but I loved it so much I wanted to use it for my entry. As you all know Taylor is a massive inspiration for my makeup looks & outfits 🙂 So here it is, my Taylor Swift inspired makeup look…
If you'd like to know how I achieved this look, then keep reading..
☆ I started off with the eyes to ensure no fallout ruined my face makeup.
☆ I used some sticky tape to create a sharp line; position this just under your lower lashline as if it's being extended!
☆ To achieve this eye look I only used shadows from the Sleek Au Natural Palette.
☆ I took the black shadow & marked out where I wanted the liner. Lining from the inner corner to the tip of the wing, just carry on your lower lashline to create the wing, & stop at the tail of your brow! Also line the lower lashes.
☆ I then intensified & thickened the liner by going over it with more black shadow. You could use gel or liquid liner, but I liked the look of shadow.
☆ Be sure to extend the liner into the inner corner too, to create even more of a feline eye!
The more cat like, the better!
☆ To add the sultry smokey look to this makeup I smoked out the outer corner of the eye with a dark brown shadow & the same black shadow used before!
☆ I also used the same dark brown to smoke out the lower lashline. Just keep blending & adding colour until your happy!
☆ I did apply black Kohl in my waterline and tightline after I did my base.
☆ Once you're happy with the eyes it's time to perfect the skin! For my foundation I used my Revlon colourstay with my Real Techniques Buffing brush 🙂 But use products you know work for you & your skin type.
☆ To hide any dark circles & imperfections I used my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. To set the face I used my trusty Rimmel Stay Matte powder 🙂
☆ To add some life into the face I applied my Benefit Hoola Bronzer as a contour & on my cheeks as a bronzer to warm up the face!
☆ Also to add some shape to the brows I filled in the tails with my ELF Brow Kit & set them with Benefit Gimme Brow.
☆ As the finishing touch I used my Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in 24 red diva to line my lips. I then went over that with my Urban Decay Lipstick in 'F-Bomb'.
Finished look…
I hope you all love this look as much as I do 🙂
Please show me some love & support for this competition, it means the world ❤

text: Backdoc 685 Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Happy Holidays Patty: A lot has been made of the shoulder bulk and the relationship to the arms. There should be a lot made of this since it is very impressive to consider. This is even more of an issue in the suit vs real creature debate. I watched a bit of the classic Miracle on 34th Street the other day (tis the season). I noticed a scene where 'Santa' is training the little girl to "act like a monkey". The first thing they do is slouch and bend the arms almost curling them. I think that is the natural tendency for anyone trying to do some imitation of an ape/monkey. See here: The result is: 1) A shorter stature due to bending something that does not seem like Patty 2) SHORTER not longer arms from the curling effect. Clearly that is not observed on Patty. If Bob H or about anyone else put on some suit and was told to walk, I think the tendency is to just walk like they think a primate would walk. They slouch, bend the arms, and might even make funny noises with their mouth. The look of Patty = tall subject with darn long arms walking smooth as a cat.

HOUSTON – It's a simple task that we all complete every day, but chances are that we've doing it all wrong.
According to Battery University, people should not plug in their phones to charge before they go to bed. Experts said that leaving a phone charging all night can wear down the battery, because of the "trickle charges" it receives after reaching 100 percent.
Experts recommend that a battery should never be fully charged, and to plug in the device throughout the day in smaller increments.
Keeping your device cool is key as well, experts said. They also recommend removing your phone from its case before charging it.

If this were an exact science we could look at a brain scan or an x-ray and state conclusively what we were facing. Of course we can't so we argue amongst ourselves because by our very nature we are flawed, scared and insecure. We are human.
Today I am 52 years old and I am happy. It's a good age for me and while I don't physically look it (or so they tell me), I am benefiting from the wisdom and experience that I have amassed over that time.
Friday night, N bought me birthday dinner and, as I looked at the beautiful face of the woman who loves me as I am, I was very glad.

21.1 km (Half Marathon)
Maldon to Castlemaine
Participants board the Goldfields Steam Train departing Castlemaine at 2.00 pm. During the 45 minute journey there will be further briefing and warm up activities†. The race starts at 3.00pm. with a free bag service available for all participants (transport back to Castlemaine).
The course sets off from Maldon station1 and heads out along Hornsby Street2, crossing the Bendigo-Maldon road and making its way down to the edge of the Muckleford Nature Reserve and the start of the Railway Track. Runners turn right and continue on the Tatt Town track3 as the course climbs gently — through dense woodland. A left hand turn into Smiths Reef Track4 precedes a short sharp pinch followed by a welcome 4 km descent, via the Gowar Track5 and finally joining the Railway Track6 all the way to the midway point at Muckleford Station7 (the lowest elevation of the course at 276m with toilets & water available). Now the course runs through delightful open paddocks with expansive views, the railway line, never far out of site, and begins to gently climb again through more open woodland. A switch back takes runners around a deep gully with views of the Sawmill Road rail bridge8, the start of the last section of the course and the last significant climb.
As runners hit the 17 km mark it's pretty much downhill all the way to Castlemaine. Crossing the Pyrenees highway9 and running on an elevated embankment10 signifies the end of the official rail trail. Campbells Creek is crossed, with the route then dropping runners under the Elizabeth Street bridge11 to continue along the pretty Campbells Creek path which snakes its merry way smartly back to the Camp Reserve12.

How will marketers adapt to the new world of ultimate consumer control and content/audience fragmentation? . . . broadband is THE window to the future. Streaming/cached video online is essentially video-on-demand (VOD), which closely reflects the digital video recorder experience. No one knows for sure how the consumer will adapt to their new tools of control; however, lessons can be learned by paying attention to what works for marketers in broadband video. A glimpse into how we can create marketing success in a VOD and personal video recorder-controlled future can be found today. It is time for advertisers to buck up, because there is no better time than the present to look ahead.

What People Say
Josh Rode '14
Mohawk Athletics continues to change my life every day. I strive for more because it has helped me understand what I am truly capable of.
Mark Biagini 'Coach
Mohawk Athletic Association has been a generous supporter, helping us get uniforms and warm-ups. Without all of these people behind us, our students would never have had the opportunity to experience this amazing journey.
Madison Boucias '16
If I had not joined cross country and track I would have never met the great, incredible friends that I have shared so many special moments with. The sports memories are times that I will never forget.
Mohawk students in the community
The M.A.A. is a parent, student, and community member group which fund raises and finances many vital aspects of Mohawk Athletics which may include but is not limited to uniform purchase, gear, booster apparel, championship apparel and financial support for sports fees. It was started in 1990 by a group of determined, community-minded parents who wanted to ensure that sports at Mohawk would continue even under the threat of budget cuts. They rolled their sleeves up and got to work! This positive, can do attitude has persisted due to the continued volunteerism of many dedicated people over the years.
Today MAA continues this mission nearly 30 years later. Meetings are held the first Monday of each month in the High School cafeteria. Our organization is always accepting new members! All are welcome to attend a meeting. If you would like to join and have voting rights simply pay the annual dues of $1. (The same amount as it was back in 1990!)
There are many opportunities throughout the year for you to volunteer time for the MAA. We all have something unique to contribute. Volunteerism requires a committed community to achieve great results, so please spread the word and make the effort – it will be worth it!
About Us
Keep In Touch
MAA needs your support.
Please let us know if you would like to donate time as a volunteer at a local event or donate funds that directly help the athletes at Mohawk.

Celebrity Worthy Home Rentals in Palm Springs for Oscar Viewing Parties
What better way to watch the stars than in a home with celebrity status? Usher in awards season with a friends' trip to Palm Springs and watch the Oscars together in style. The awards air on a Sunday night, giving you just the right opportunity to enjoy a long weekend in a destination that's frequented by the famed. Make up some batches of gourmet popcorn, try out new cocktail recipes and root for your favorite stars while you kick back, relax and catch up with each other.
Here are five celebrity homes perfect for a viewing party:
Hollywood Celebrity Estate
The name says it all. Formerly "The Harpo Marx Estate," this lavish desert homestead belonged to the legendary film and stage performer himself. Entertain the whole crew in style with the home's massive wet bar, commercial-grade kitchen, wine room, 50-inch plasma TV and walls of glass that showcase views of the private oasis.
Movie Colony
This rare 1934 home is steeped in Hollywood history, known for decades as The Betty Boop House and once part of the famed Darryl Zanuck Estate. Located in the Movie Colony neighborhood, it's one block from Palm Springs' Uptown Design District, so you can hit the boutiques and galleries before show time. The home also features a media room with an HD projector TV so you can watch the awards on an eight-foot retractable screen.
Sonny and Cher Estate (Villa Carmelita)
Originally owned by film star Joseph Cotton, this sprawling, private home served as a retreat to countless Hollywood luminaries like Natalie Wood, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Taylor and more – it was even a love nest for Sonny and Cher! Aside from its gourmet kitchen and luxe living room with a 55-inch flat-screen TV, the home has serious star power. Two streets over is the Barry Manilow mansion and nearby is a huge compound owned by Suzanne Sommers.
Frederick Loewe Estate
Bring everyone's families along to this three-acre Old Hollywood estate that offers plenty of entertainment to go around. Formerly owned by Frederick Loewe and frequently visited by Golden Age Stars, the home itself made Time Magazine's November 14, 1960 cover story. Enjoy the tennis court, grotto style spa, pool and fire pit, then gather around the 50-inch TV in the family room for red carpet fun.
The Villa Grand (Palm Springs Celebrity Estate)
The former home of Jackie O's stepdaughter, heiress Christina Onassis, this vacation villa is a destination in itself. Before the awards kick off, take a lap in the 80-foot long heated pool, hit the sauna, or lounge in the indoor tiki bar. Extra bonus? The home has a citrus grove with tangerines, lemons and grapefruits perfect for infusing award time cocktails.

39. I have expended $ 42.875 for a quantity of grain, T3ff of it being corn, at $0.75 a bushel; fa of it wheat, at $ 2 a bushel; and the balance oats, at $ 0.40 a bushel, to the amount of $ 3.50. Required the number of bushels of each kind purchased.
40. If a mason, in constructing a drain 250.35 feet long, begin with a width of 8 inches, and increase ^ of an inch in every foot of length, how many times the width of the beginning of the drain will its end be? Ans. 16.646875.
41. A gentleman gave £ of his property to his son James; J of it to his son William; ^ of the remainder to his daughter Mary; and the balance to his wife. It appeared that Mary received $ 2243.26 less than James. What was the amount divided, and how much did each receive?
Ans. Amount, $ 13459.56; James, $3364.89; William, $4486.52; Mary, 1121.63; wife, $ 4486.52.
281i A Circulating Decimal is a decimal in which one or more figures are continually repeated in the same order. Thus, in reducing ^ to an equivalent decimal, on annexing ciphers and dividing by the denominator, the result obtained, .333-)-, is a circulating decimal; for, however far the division might be carried, the same figure would continue to be repeated without the decimal terminating.
Such decimals are sometimes called infinite, or repeating; and, for sake of distinguishing, those decimals that terminate are sometimes termed finite.
282^ A repetend is a figure, or a series of figures, continually repeated. To mark a repetend, a point (.) is placed over a single repeating figure, or over the first and last of a series of repeating figures. Thus, in .3, the point denotes that the 3 is a repetend; and in .72, that the 72 is a repetend.
283. A single repetend is one in which only one figure is repeated; as in .1111-(- denoted by .1; and 2222-f-, denoted by .2.
284. A compound repetend is one in which the same set of figures is repeated; as in .135135-U, denoted by .135, and .30363036+, denoted by 3036.
285- A pure repetend is one which contains only the figures of the repetend; as, .3, .02, and .123.
286. A mixed repetend is one in which a repetend is preceded in the same fraction by one or more figures. The figures preceding the repetend are called the finite part. Thus, .416 is a mixed repetend, of which the figure 6 is the repetend, and the figures 41 the finite part; also, 1.728 is a mixed repetend, of which the figures 28 are the repetend, and the figures 1.7 the finite part.
287. A perfect repetend is a pure repetend containing the same number of figures as there are units in its denominator less one. Thus, ^ reduced to a decimal gives .142857, which, as it contains as many figures as there are units in the denominator, 7, less one, is a perfect repetend.
288. Similar repetends are those which begin at the same distance from the decimal point; as .3 and .6; or 5.123 and 3.478.
289. Dissimilar repetends are those which begin at different distances from the decimal point; as .986 and .4625; or .5925 and .0423436.
290. Conterminous repetends are those which terminate at the same distance from the decimal point; as .631 and.465, or .0753 and .4752.
291. Similar and conterminous repetends are those which both begin and end at the same distance from the decimal point; as .354 and .425; or .5757 and 5723.
292. Repetends alioays arise from common fractions, which, when in their loioest terms, contain in their denominator other factors than 2 and 5. For when a common fraction is in its lowest terms, its numerator and denominator are prime to each other (Art. 219), and the annexing of one or more ciphers to the numerator makes the same a multiple of 10, but does not render it divisible by any factor, except 2 and 5, the factors of 10. Therefore, when the denominator of a fraction, in its lowest terms, contains other factors than those of 10, the decimsi resulting from dividing the numerator with ciphers annexed, will not terminate, but will contain one or more figures that constantly repeat.
293i A pure repetend is always equivalent to a common fraction whose numerator is the repeating figure or figures, and whose denominator as many places of nines as there are repeating figures. For, by reducing £ to a decimal, we obtain as its equivalent the repetend .1; and since .1 is equivalent to J, .2 will be equivalent to §, .3 to §, and so on, till .9 is equal to | or 1. Aga in, and T^tt, being reduced, give .01, and 001; that is, = .01, and g^g- = .001 ; therefore, g2g = .02, and
g- = 002, and so on; the same principle holding true in all like cases.
294. A mixed repetend is equivalent to a complex decimal (Art. 278), or to a complex fraction. Thus, the mixed repetend .2412 is equivalent to the mixed decimal .24£§, which is
equal to the complex fraction -y^
295. Mepetends are of the same denomination only when they are similar and conterminous. For then alone, by having a common denominator, do they express fractional parts of the same unit.
296. To reduce a repetend to an equivalent common fraction.
Ex. 1. Reduce .123 to an equivalent common fraction.
Ans. ,jvj
Operation. We write the figures of the given
,i23 = i^S = J^j'j Ans. repetend with the decimal point omitted for the numerator, and as many nines as places in the repetend tor the denominator, of a common fraction (Art. 293), and obtain iff, which, reduced to its lowest terms, = Alj, the answer required.
2. Reduce .138 to an equivalent common fraction.
OPERATION. The mixed repetend .138
1 3 4 is equivalent to the mixed
.1 3 8 = y-f = , — tffc Ans. decimal .13$ (Art. 294), * which we readily change to
the form of a complex fraction by erasing the decimal point and writing the denominator, 100,
which is understood; and thus obtain — * , which, reduced to its simplest form, gives -fa, the answer required. Hence,
If the given repetend be Simple, make the repeating figure or figures the numerator, and take as many nines as the repetend has figures for the denominator.
If the given repetend be Mixed, change it to an equivalent complex fraction, and that fraction to its simplest form.
Note. — Any circulating decimal may be transformed into another decimal, having a repetend of the same number of figures; as, .78 — .787, and .534 — .5345 - .53453. Thus, when such expressions as 12.5 or 17.56 occur, they may be also transformed; as 12 5 = 12.52, and 17.56 = 17.567 -- 17.5675, &c.
3. Required the common fraction equal to .6. Ans. | = §.
4. Reduce 1.62 to its equivalent mixed number.
5. Change .53 to an equivalent common fraction.
6. What common fraction is equivalent to .769230?
7. What common fraction is equivalent to .5925?
8. Change 31.62 to an equivalent mixed number.
Ans. 31 iff
9. Reduce .008497133 to an equivalent common fraction.
297i To determine the kind of decimal to which a given common fraction can be reduced.
Ex. 1. Required to find whether the decimal equal to /t'a be finite or circulating; and if finite, of how many places the decimal will consist. Ans. Finite, of 4 places.

The 5-year-old Telepathic Genius
By David Moye / Huffington Post
By almost any measure, 5-year-old Ramses Sanguino is a gifted child.
The Los Angeles-based lad is learning seven different languages, including Japanese and Russian, and can solve algebraic equations.
A video posted on YouTube shows Ramses correctly spelling "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis," the longest English word in the Oxford English Dictionary, forward and backward.
Extraordinary as that sounds, his proud mother, artist Nyx Sanguino, believes her brainy son may also possess the ability to read her mind.
Sanguino claims her mini mental giant is able to correctly guess numbers she's written in secret, sometimes as many as 38 in a row.
"We do have a very close bond which may have something to do with his abilities -- but this is beyond anything I would have imagined," she told Barcroft TV. "I don't know how to explain it."
Ramses has autism, and Dr. Diane Powell, a neuroscientist and former Harvard Medical School faculty member, believes the alleged telepathy may provide clues that will help parents to connect with their autistic kids.
"If you have your primary language compromised, then that would be a perfect setup for telepathy, because here you have a child and a parent who desperately want to communicate with one another," Powell said, according to the Independent.
The scientific consensus toward telepathy is that the evidence is anecdotal, not scientific, reports LiveScience. But it may be feasible, according to a 2014 paper published in PLOS One.
Researchers were repeatedly able to transmit signals from one person's brain via the Internet, that were able to control the hand motions of another person within a fraction of a second.
However, another 2014 paper, also published in PLOS One, suggested there is no such thing as extrasensory perception, or a so-called "sixth sense."
Nevertheless, Powell is confident that telepathy exists, despite the career blowback that could happen by making such a statement.
"It's very risky to one's credibility to take on a subject like this, but I knew that when I got into it," she said, according to the New York Post.
Barcroft TV filmed Powell conducting a test on Ramses, where he correctly guessed three out of five random numbers allegedly based on reading his mother's thoughts.
That may not sound that accurate, but Powell was impressed.
"To get three of them correct, it would be one out of nine, times one out of nine, times one out of nine, which is one out of 729," she said, adding that the test was by no means conclusive.
Regardless of whether Ramses is truly telepathic, Sanguino hopes she can get him into a school for gifted children.

But the researchers still hope to make progress with the development of a fusion reactor. In China, scientists were able to build a reactor that was the first to reach 100 million degrees Celsius last November. This is almost seven times as hot as the core of the sun. At this temperature hydrogen atoms can fuse to helium. These reactor concepts (Tokamak and Stellarator) are based on the technique of magnetic confinement. When two atoms fuse, a new atom is formed. Its mass is less than the mass of the two atoms before the fusion. The missing mass is then the energy source. This does not produce any long-lived atomic waste.
The prototype fusion reactor Tokamak in France, which costs around 25 billion US dollars, is to produce the first full power fusion by 2035. So the road is still long and uncertain. Today's nuclear power plants split the atomic nucleus. As long as the scientific and technical challenges of the fusion reactor have not been solved, proven nuclear reactors will provide the energy. For this they need uranium, which in turn uranium companies such as Uranium Energy or Fission 3.0 possess on their projects.
Fission 3.0 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDpqleXvBTU – owns 100% of the Patterson Lake North uranium project in the famous Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, covering more than 27,000 hectares of land. High-quality uranium projects are adjacent here.
Uranium Energy – https://www.commodity-tv.net/c/search_adv/?v=298864 – has as a special plus a fully licensed processing plant in Texas. There are also a number of partly approved or (fully) licensed uranium projects. In particular, the largest and already approved ISR project in Wyoming will reduce the USA's strong dependence on uranium suppliers from other countries.

Central Casting and Entertainment Partners' global company shut down operations from 9-11am PT on June 9 as a time of reflection for our employees. This was a first step. Over the coming months, our company will create opportunities for meaningful dialogue with our employees and within our industry about social injustice and discuss what we can do as an organization to create change.
I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy. It's been about 9 weeks since our industry went down due to COVID-19 and I, as well as all of you, am sure ready to get back to work! But of course, we can't do that until it is safe to do so. Having all of our financial and creative resources end so quickly has been hard on all of us. I wanted to share with you that over these weeks we have been actively involved with meeting with our clients, studios and union to partner in what will be the best path to move us forward and get back to work safely. As more information evolves, we will be sure to communicate it out to you as best we can. In the meantime, stay safe, take good care of yourself, catch up on movies and shows and spend time with your loved ones. We are thinking about all of you and hoping we all can get back to making movies and television again soon!
All my best,

'Guardians of the Galaxy' soundtrack tops music charts
The alien superheroes of "Guardians of the Galaxy" didn't just storm the movie box office.
The Marvel superheroes' 1970s-style soundtrack also aced the U.S. Billboard chart - climbing to top spot on Wednesday (Aug 13).
Titled "Awesome Mix Vol. 1", the album is filled with classic hits such as:
Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling"
The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back"
David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream"
And for numbers fans, here goes:
Nielsen SoundScan figures said the album sold 109,000 copies in its second week.
Not bat at all since it had entered the chart last week at No. 3, when first-week sales hovered around the 60,000 mark.
The 12-track retro mix is featured heavily throughout the film as rogue hero Peter Quill's own soundtrack while he battles evil intergalactic villains to save the galaxy.
It is the second soundtrack this year to top the album chart, following the success of Walt Disney Co's animated hit "Frozen."

3rd January – After an excellent couple of days in Puerto Veijo soaking up the rays and the Caribbean style of life it was time to move onto Panama. We caught a chicken bus which is essentially an American yellow school bus that has been repainted to the border. As usual like most border points anywhere in the world it was a depressing run down town full of litter, graffiti and dodgy money changers. We excited Costa Rica with out too much trouble and walked over an old rickety bridge that separates the two countries. On the Panama side we were held in a queue for a couple of hours whilst the immigration officials went through everybody´s documents with a fine tooth combe but with patience and a limited grasp of Spanish we were waved through. Panama is well renowned for its love of paperwork and bureaucratic red tape. We were aiming for a group of Islands on the northern side of Panama called the Bocas so we caught a small shuttle bus to the docks and waited patiently for a speed boat to take us across the bay. Finally we arrived around 8pm in Bocas Del Toro and settled in for a curry and a few beers. The local beers (Atlas, Panama & Balboa lager) were only a dollar each and tasted just a cheap.
4th-5th January – The sun was beating down for the time we spent in the Bocas. On the first day there we lounged on Red Frog Beach and splashed about in the waves attempting to body surf them and not get drowned at the same time. The rip currents were incredibly strong and we saw one poor fellow dragged out of the surf by his friends and quickly whisked into the back of an ambulance. The next day we got up early and hired a 45ft Catamaran for the day. The captain was a crazy German guy who had spent the last 20 years sailing around the oceans. He had crossed the Atlantic 3 times and his boat had sailed the equivalent of 4 times around the world. We think he had been drinking a bit too much salt water as we was very paranoid about us messing up his boat. The day was excellent thou and we saw several schools of bottle nosed dolphins pass the catamaran at close range, did a bit of fishing (but failed to catch anything) and had a couple of snorkelling sessions over the coral reef´s. The reef´s were like underwater flower beds, full of amazing colours and containing hundreds of species of tropical fish, jelly´s and starfish. The day ended with an excellent mexican meal and a bunch of free shots & drinks from the hostel barman who was on a mission to drink most of the bars stock!

Roasted Potatoes with Bacon & Parsley
1 1/2 pounds white or red new potatoes, quartered
4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the broiler.
Place the potatoes in a large pot. Add a big pinch of salt and just enough water to the pot to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
While the potatoes cook, place the bacon on a sheet tray. Broil the bacon until it's brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Place the bacon on paper towels to drain. Crumble it as soon as it's cool enough to handle.
Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the potatoes on the sheet tray with the bacon fat. Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper and toss them until they're coated with the oil. Place the potatoes in the oven and cook them until they're fork-tender and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with the crumbled bacon and parsley. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated and serve.
Number of servings (yield): 4

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – STANFORD senior Maya DiRado was named Pac-12 Women's Swimmer of the Year, CALIFORNIA freshman Missy Franklin earned Pac-12 Freshman/Newcomer of the Year honors, and Cardinal head coach Greg Meehan was named Pac-12 Women's Swimming Coach of the Year, the Conference office announced today. The awards were voted on by the Pac-12 head women's swimming coaches.
DiRado could not have capped her collegiate career in more impressive fashion, first earning three individual titles in the 200 individual medley, 400 individual medley and 200 fly at the 2014 Pac-12 Championships followed by a sweep of the individual medley events at the NCAA Championships last weekend. In addition to her individual titles, the Santa Rosa, Calif. native contributed to a pair of national title relays, a third-place finish in the 800 free relay and a second-place effort in the 200 individual fly. Her performance helped Stanford score its most points at the national meet since 2000 en route to a second-place finish. In her career, DiRado is a 21-time All-American and seven-time Pac-12 champion. She also holds top-five times in six different events in Stanford program history.
Franklin, flourished in her first season in Berkeley, claiming Pac-12 Swimmer of the Month honors in December and again in February after collecting a meet-high six titles—three individual and three relay— in her debut at the 2014 Pac-12 Championships. The Centennial, Colo. native set three meet records in the 100 free, 200 free and 500 free to collect her first three Pac-12 individual championships. She also helped Cal to victories in the 400 and 800 free relay and 400 medley relay, as well as a runner-up finish in the 200 medley relay. Her performance earned her the Pac-12 Women's Swimmer of the Meet honors. She capped her first season of collegiate swimming by setting an American, U.S. Open and NCAA record with a time of 1:40.31—a full second under the old record of 1:41.21—in winning the 200 freestyle at the NCAA Championships last weekend. Franklin also helped the Bears—who finished third overall— to a national championship in the 800 freestyle relay in addition to a second-place finish in the 200 freestyle relay, second-place effort in the 500 freestyle and a third-place finish in the 100 freestyle.
Meehan has had an impressive start to his coaching career at Stanford, earning Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors for the first time in his career. In just his second year at the helm, he led the Cardinal to their most points at the NCAA Championships in 14 years and its highest overall finish since 2010. He was also honored as CSCAA's Swimming Coach of the Year after the surprise runner-up finish behind Georgia. Meehan has wasted no time making a mark on the Cardinal program, winning a Pac-12 team title in 2013 followed by an impressive showing at this year's NCAAs. Prior to joining the Cardinal, he spent five seasons with Cal's men's swimming and diving programs and was regarded as one of the top assistants in the country. During his time with the Bears, the program produced a pair of NCAA Championships (2011, 2012) and a runner up finish in 2010.

Destiny 2 Curse of Osiris Expansion Gets Release Date at Paris Games Week 2017
- Related Games:
- Destiny 2
Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris got a new trailer and a release date at Paris Games Week 2017. The new DLC will bring a whole new chapter to the Destiny canon, and open Mercury as a visitable planet.
An ancient gate has opened on Mercury and Vex from the past, and the future are invading. Osirus is a controversial guardian has returned to help with the fight, but he may be as big a threat as the Vex. According to Destiny lore, Mercury used to be a garden world in the Golden Age of Man, but the Vex transformed it into a machine world during the Collapse. Apparently, between then and now the Vex turned the planet into some sort of time portal. There were allusions to the Vex having some kind of time manipulation technology when you looked at certain scannable in the base Destiny 2 game, and now we're getting to see it front row and center.
Also: Destiny 2 Final Review – What Destiny Should've Been
There will also be need raid content added to Destiny 2 with the release of Curse of Osiris. Whether that means it will expand the current Leviathan Raid (which wouldn't make much sense), or if there'll be a whole new raid entirely. There should be some new strikes and PvP maps thrown in for good measure too.
Destiny 2 Expansion I: Curse of Osiris releases on December 5, 2017.

You've done it. You've found the golden goose. A stock almost guaranteed to make you a pile of money. It's a tech company that has designed an innovative, faster chip that will open up new possibilities for artificial intelligence. They have a strong balance sheet, high revenue growth, and positive cash flow.
The market hasn't yet caught wind of this remarkable enterprise, leaving shares severely underpriced. This is the opportunity of a lifetime and you decide to pull the trigger.
For the first few months, things are great. The stock price doubles and you boast among friends of your sleuth-like investing skills. But then, a competitor creates an even better chip. The company that seemed to be the sure bet simply can't keep up. Stock prices plummet. You watch frantically as the company freefalls. How much are you going to lose? When should you cut your losses?
While extreme, this scenario is always on the back of every stock investors mind. You'll always have flops and you'll always have winners. That's just the name of the game. But to actually generate real wealth from shares, you need to pick great companies consistently. Not just companies that provide a positive return. You need companies that can consistently outpace inflation as well. If you don't pick enough winners, inflation will eat away at your returns and leave you with nothing.
The pressure is even higher for financial professionals and wealth managers. Clients demand safe investments that deliver consistent returns over the long term. If clients are unhappy with performance, they take their money elsewhere. With the volatility of traditional investments, it's no wonder that more and more financial professionals are turning to property.
Maybe you should too.
The Benefits of Property Investing
Property has proved a consistent, complementary form of income for both investors and wealth managers alike. It helps protect a portfolio from the wild fluctuations of traditional markets while still offering the ability to generate positive cashflow. Investing in property provides investors with seven key benefits:
1. Leverage
Unlike traditional investments, banks are willing to loan money for investment property. Its stable nature gives banks confidence in the security offered by the underlying asset. It's one of the only investment vehicles where individuals can use lending to build their portfolio and achieve higher realised returns.
At CityYield, we can refer investors in Australia and Hong Kong to lending institutions which offer interest-only loans with rates from just 2.99%. In most cases these loans can even be used to finance property outside an investors home country, including property in the United States and United Kingdom.
2. Tax Benefits
Property investors receive a multitude of tax benefits ranging from country to country. In Australia, negative gearing can be applied to both local and foreign property investments. You will want to check with your tax advisor but it's very likely that tax benefits could help subsidise a portion of your initial outlay.
3. Passive Income
Passive income is the primary reason that people are drawn to property investing. Rental units, unlike stock dividends, provide a reliable monthly income stream from tenants. Even during times of economic turbulence, the need for housing won't disappear.
In most cases, investors can earn positive cashflow immediately while they also build equity in the investment.
4. Tangible Asset
Property is a tangible asset. It's an investment that you can physically see and touch. Even more importantly, it has your name on the deed and cannot be misplaced or stolen. Unlike other alternatives, you can take comfort in knowing that you own something of actual value and not just a piece of paper.
5. Guard Against Inflation
Regardless of market fluctuations, property has traditionally increased at a rate exceeding inflation. Property traditionally grows annually at 7-10%, roughly two to three times inflation.
6. High Growth Potential
With expanding population, increased urbanisation and growing economy, home builders and contractors are having a hard time keeping up. The limited supply and heightened demand for property in major markets has caused a spike in both rental yields and property values. In fact, property investments have been the greatest source of individual wealth generation over the past 50 years.
7. Diversification
Perhaps one of the most important benefits, real estate is a proven, profitable way to diversify your portfolio. Real estate protects wealth against currency manipulation, market crashes, and political changes.
Choosing Your Market
Investing in property is a great opportunity, but investing without a plan can be disastrous. Do you invest where you live or somewhere else? Which has the best potential for returns? What kind of research do you need to do first?
The problem that most property investors encounter is a lack of viable options. There may be local investment opportunities, but the returns are minimal. Looking at other cities can seem compelling, but to do it yourself is a daunting process.What should you look for? Who will handle maintenance?Who will collect the rent?
That's where we come in.
At CityYield, we help investors make money by building portfolios of international property. By working with our expert team, investors can find, purchase and manage property outside their local market with ease. Let us help you with:
Identifying The Best Markets For Investment
The CityYield team is always on the lookout for leading property markets worldwide. Each year, tens of thousands of properties are evaluated across nearly 300 different markets around the world.
Building High Yield Property Portfolio
One of the biggest issues with local markets today are the record low yields. In Sydney and Hong Kong yields have dipped below 3%, barely keeping up with inflation. When looking internationally, you are able to achieve yields that are often 2-3 times higher than an investor's local market.
Simplifying Purchase & Ownership
CityYield makes it easier than ever to invest in property. You can access an international pool of property without worrying about the nuances of the local market. We handle everything, from start to finish, including:
- Location Analysis
- Due Diligence Property Reports
- Yield & Growth Projections
- Legal, Regulatory & Tax Advice
- Rent Analysis & Comparison
- Management & Maintenance Support
- Financing Introductions

Mustaqbal Says No One Can Eliminate Other, Warns of 'Heading into Unknown'
Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc on Tuesday stressed that "no one in Lebanon can eliminate the other, no matter the elements of power and authority that they possess."
"The exchanges of tirades, no matter how fierce and sectarian they get, will not manage to eliminate anyone from the political equation," said the bloc in a statement issued after its weekly meeting.
"The policies of exclusion, punishment and monopolization are the other face of the policies of isolation, seclusion, closed regions and reluctance to acknowledge the other's existence," Mustaqbal added.
Turning to the suspension of cabinet's sessions, the bloc lamented the "negative repercussions" that the Qabrshmoun incident has left on the government's work.
"Everyone is facing one of two choices: returning to cabinet and state institutions or heading into the unknown," Mustaqbal warned.

Today (Wednesday June 24) I got an excellent start on painting the Belinda Mason Building. This is the newest of the Whitesburg campus's three buildings, and the one closest to my heart as it contains my lovely office. It is also the building with the most interesting scenic detail surrounding it. The picture shows the end result of today's labors.
I am finding it extremely challenging to remain standing for five hours painting. As I move lower on the painting I'm sure that I will be able to sit for some of the work, but almost all the work on the buildings and hills requires me to stand.
Does anyone know a place (brick and mortar or on-line) to purchase large numbers of popsicle sticks or even better tongue depressors? We've been saving the ones we use from our lime and lemon bars (low fat summer time treats), but I'm running through those much too quickly. I suppose I could switch to plastic knives and spoons, but I just prefer the aesthetic of wood.

It looks _really_ good so far! Standing for 5 hours wouldn't be easy for anybody if they weren't used to it. Most craft stores like Michael's sell big bags of popsicle sticks or tongue depressors.

text: The hotel business had increased tremendously and competition had become intense. Maintaining a good workforce and equipping employees with skills and attitude to constantly please guests had become a challenge for the hotel management. The purpose of this study was to examine the mediation model by investigating the relationship between cross-department training and work performance with morale as the mediator. The study utilized quantitative, descriptive correlational and used mediation technique with Sobel Z-test to further evaluate whether morale significantly mediated the relationship between cross- department training and work performance. An adapted survey questionnaire which was validated by experts and pilot tested was used in this study. Using purposive sampling and complete enumeration, the researcher selected 285 regular employees as respondents who had undergone cross-department training in the accredited Department of Tourism star-rated hotels in Davao Region. Findings of the study showed that the level of cross-department training, work performance, and morale were high. There were significant positive relationships between cross-department training and work performance, morale and work performance, and cross-department training and morale. It showed that morale partially mediated the relationship of cross department training on work performance.

Kompas Events today announces a special one-man speaking show by IRON MAIDEN singer, BRUCE DICKINSON in Bucharest, in February 8, at Sala Radio.
Bruce Dickinson is considered one of the world's most storied musicians. Aside from decades spent delivering high-octane performances with his larger-than-life persona in IRON MAIDEN, Bruce has lived an extraordinary off-stage existence too. A true polymath, Bruce is, or has been, an airline pilot and captain, an aviation entrepreneur, a beer brewer, motivational speaker, film scriptwriter, twice-published novelist and best-selling author, radio presenter, TV actor and international fencer.
The 2017 publication of his New York Times & UK Times Best-Seller autobiography What Does This Button Do? saw Bruce promoting the book by undertaking a small number of readings and Q&A in theatres around the UK. What Does This Button Do? - An Evening With Bruce Dickinson has since evolved into a full-blown one-man show, more akin to a stand-up comedian's routine, lasting well over two hours and touring the globe to critical acclaim, including a sold-out performance last summer at the largest arts festival in the world, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Split into two parts, the first half of the show sees Bruce taking a humorous, often satirical look back at his colourful, roller-coaster life. Delivering compelling tales in his uniquely anarchic style and punctuated with photographs, he recounts anecdotes not just from the book, but others deemed either too risqué or otherwise to have made the final edit…..!
The second half of the evening is devoted entirely to a Q&A session, where fans' quirky, frank and often completely leftfield questions are tackled with completely improvised - and invariably quick-witted - responses by Bruce, all of which makes for a highly entertaining and enjoyable night out.
Do not miss this unique opportunity to witness one of the world's most captivating icons in an intimate environment when Bruce Dickinson brings his one-man speaking show for the very first time to Bucharest Tickets go on sale from [insert link and any other ticket info]….

Episodes 0 and 1
EPISODE 0: Introduction and Backstory
INTRODUCTION: Dark Shadows was a daytime soap about nighttime creatures, that ran from 1966-1971. The idea was that by airing it during the day, the undead wouldn't see the show and take reprisals against the production crew. The invention of the VCR completely ruined this plan, and surviving cast members now live in nightly fear of their lives, armed to the gills with silver bullets, garlic and wolfsbane.
The General Public only remembers Dark Shadows as 'That Show with Barnabas Collins, and.... some other people.' This is completely unfair, as the show should more properly be remembered as 'The Show With Some Other People, and Barnabas Collins' (in that order!) With its odd combination of Horror and Soap Opera plotting (with a soap opera, that should really read 'plodding'?), and a seamless blending of the sublime and the schlocky, the show managed to be funny long before Barnabas Collins showed his face (and even longer before he showed it in a mirror).
Widow's Hill Notes is (are?) an Episode Guide to the early, Monster-Lite days of the series, which faithfully re-tell the story scene by scene, episode by episode, in a narrative style which enhances the show's natural quirkiness. Events described are… more or less as they actually happened onscreen. That is, in the same kind of way that American History as told by Bugs Bunny to his nephew Clyde was "more or less" like it really happened.
You do not need to have seen a single episode of Dark Shadows in order to read and enjoy these chronicles. Nor do you have to like soap operas. A sense of humor is required, however.
A Program Guide to the characters in this story can be found at http://tinyurl.com/dscastlist01 . You can't tell the Living from the Dead without a Program Guide.
On her 20th birthday Vicki gets a job offer from a complete stranger, in some jerkwater burg (as New Yorkers would call it) called Collinsport, Maine. Bangor and Collinsport are not exactly close to each other (although, since Collinsport is fictional, it's hard to tell), but they are in the same state, therefore Vicki reasons that there must be a connection. And even if there isn't, it's a paying job, which beats living on Ketchup Soup, and Mayonnaise Sandwiches without the bread.
The job offer comes from Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, a reclusive millionaire, who hasn't left her mansion in 18 years. Nobody knows why this is so, but frankly, it will be an enormous let-down if Mrs. Stoddard hasn't got some deep dark secret to guard. Oh, and by the way, Elizabeth lives in a haunted house. Vicki isn't prejudiced, is she?
The job involves being a combination tutor and victim to David Collins, the son of Elizabeth's black sheep brother, Roger. And also to participate in whatever intrigue and mayhem may go on at the Collinwood mansion, as needed. Fortunately, there's plenty of that, because as time goes by, the 'Job Offer From A Complete Stranger' bit begins to seem less and less suspicious. The more you get to know them, the more you get the feeling that people who have never heard of them are the only kind of help the Collins family can get.
And so, at the same time that "That Girl"
was leaving the boonies to start life in the Big Apple, Victoria Winters was
leaving the Big Apple to start life in the boonies. (The Big Apple came
out ahead on the trade.) But, although Vicki may not have Marlo Thomas' famous
father, or wacky next-door neighbors, or even a show that's in color, she has
got... well, I'm not sure actually, but I'm sure we'll find out in the upcoming
EPISODE 1: Gothic Governess Victoria Winters arrives in Collinsport, Maine, and meets the obligatory "Mystery Man With a Grudge".
On a train speeding through the night, we meet an attractive, dark-haired girl. Before we can begin to wonder her name, she tells us: "My name is Victoria Winters." Rather than following up with her rank and serial number, she begins to narrate her entire life story. About how she grew up in a Foundling Home, never knew who her real parents are, and has taken a mysterious job offer from an even mysteriouser stranger in a place called Collinwood. Several of the other passengers move to another car, while some attempt suicide on the spot. We may not know who Vicki's real parents are, but she's obviously Ted Stryker's sister.
In a completely different place... it looks some kind of paneled Drawing Room in a mansion... we're definitely not still on the train, unless it's a really fancy part of the train, with no sound effects. Wherever we are, a woman named "Liz" is looking out the window, awaiting the new governess. (What, is the train just going to throw Vicki off like a mailbag as it goes past??) A man named Roger is telling Liz that she's a fool for bringing a stranger into the house. Especially a stranger that they don't even know. For the moment, and until we learn differently, let's take as a working hypothesis that this is that Collinwood place that Vicki mentioned, and that Vicki herself is the new governess.
Liz asks how "David" is doing. One of them lets slip that David is Roger's son, which would make David the new governee that the new governess is going to take care of. Roger also lets slip that he's Liz's brother, before any of us get the idea that Roger and Liz are a married couple. (Because they sure fight like one.) Roger insists that bringing Vicki to Collinwood (so, it is Collinwood!) is a bad idea. Roger suggests giving Vicki a month's pay and sending her back to New York, and he hasn't even heard any of Vicki's stories yet! After all, he explains, this is an old family, living in a spooky old house, loaded with danger, intrigue and adventure. Think what a stranger might learn about them and possibly sell to the National Enquirer! Liz congratulates Roger on an excellent expository speech. If 16 million viewers were to come into the house for the first time today, they'd know exactly what this place is about.
Back on the train, Vicki is trying to figure out what show she's in. Alfred Hitchcock Presents, maybe? It's got that same kind of mood lighting. When the conductor announces that the next stop is Willoughby, Vicki fears that she's landed up in The Twilight Zone, but fortunately, it's just a homage to The Twilight Zone. Some kind of credits sequence goes by, and Vicki learns that the show is named Dark Shadows. That would have been her next guess, if she'd ever heard of it before.
Vicki meets Mrs. Mitchell, a gossipy old lady who wants to know why Vicki would want to go to a nowhere place like Collinsport. Mrs. Mitchell is making out a report for the girls at her Bridge Club about the comings and goings of everyone on the train, and Vicki is the last one she needs to interview. Vicki starts to tell the story, but the doodly-doodly-doodly effect tells us it's going to come in the form of a flashback.
In the past, Vicki is sitting in an office with an older woman named Miss Hopewell. It appears to be the recent past, since Vicki still has the same hairstyle. Either that, or the continuity department just didn't give a darn. Vicki shows Miss Hopewell a letter that came in this morning's mail, from a Mrs. Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, living in Collinsport, Maine. Obviously, Elizabeth is the same "Liz" that we saw earlier. (Clearly this show believes in the intelligence of its viewers, and expects them to figure that out for themselves).
Mrs. Stoddard is looking for a governess for a Devil Tot named David. Vicki says she plans to take the job, as it might provide a clue as to who her real parents are. Miss Hopewell doesn't see how, so Vicki launches into another expository speech, about how she's lived here at the Hammond Foundling Home ever since she was left on the doorstep in a basket as an infant. Miss Hopewell, obviously a Monty Python fan, says "Skip a bit, brother." Vicki comes to the point. She had a look in an atlas, and found that Collinsport is only 50 miles from Bangor!!! A musical stinger tells us that this must be a really important plot point, but neither of them explains it.
Funny thing, though. Vicki has never heard of Mrs. Stoddard or Collinsport before, and she certainly never applied for any jobs in Maine. She thought maybe Miss Hopewell had recommended her for the job or something. Miss Hopewell stifles a laugh as she explains no. No, she didn't. But if Vicki is determined to go, to remember to always keep a smile on her face, a song in her heart, and an "I Don't Understand" on her lips. Vicki leaves the office, trying to do all those things simultaneously, as well as chew gum at the same time. Miss Hopewell mutters something just as the flashback ends. It's hard to be sure, but it sounds something like "I thought we'd never get rid of her".
Back in the present, Vicki realizes that the train is pulling up to the Collinsport station. She promises to mail the rest of the story to the gossipy old lady later, but Mrs. Mitchell says not to bother, as she's killing herself later today.
As Vicki gets off the train, the sign on the landing reads "Collinsport: Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here." Obviously somebody's idea of a joke. Oh well, as slogans go, it's still better than "Beaver, Oklahoma: Cow Chip Capital of the World".
Only one other person got off the train with Vicki. A mysterious stranger with a raincoat like Columbo, speech patterns like Shatner, and a jaw like Buzz Lightyear. Vicki strikes up a conversation with the man, who introduces himself as Burke Devlin. For a moment, Vicki is hopeful that she's in the movie The Tarnished Angels, except that this Burke Devlin doesn't look anything like Rock Hudson. Burke explains that his name is yet another homage. Vicki says that if she'd known this show would have so many homages, she'd have asked for her character to be named Dorothy Gale.
Vicki tries to make small talk with the mysterious stranger. This is sure some kind of one-horse town, isn't it? Burke delivers some more exposition. Whoever he is, he grew up in Collinsport, but hasn't been there in several years. When he was last there, the town was so small that the truck stop was a nail, and it doesn't look like anything has changed. When Vicki mentions that she's going to Collinwood, Burke nearly swallows his gum, before claiming to have never heard of the place. Burke says he's got a chauffeured car on the way, and would be glad to give Vicki a lift to the Inn if she likes. He looks like he'd like nothing better than to run out of gas with her, but I guess that's not much fun in a chauffeured car.
Vicki and Burke arrive at the Collinsport Inn. Burke advises Vicki to pack up and go back to New York right away. This town will soon be too dangerous for a girl like her, he explains, without explaining why. Vicki is incredulous that a place like Collinsport could be more dangerous than New York City, and says that she was mugged in Central Park three times in the last week alone.
The innkeeper comes out, and it's Conrad Bain of Diff'rent Strokes fame, of all people! Vicki asks if he's there to teach Arnold some valuable new lesson about life. Conrad insists that that his name is Mr. Wells. And he's got a bad Scandinavian accent, and a nametag that reads "NOT Phillip Drummond" to prove it.
Mr. Wells recognizes Burke, and greets him warmly as though he were a long lost friend. Burke is all business though, and orders a room for himself and a taxi for Vicki. Mr. Wells explains that the taxi will be a bit delayed, as the driver is fixing a flat. (He went to the Truck Stop, you see.)
Burke asks if there are any messages for him. Mr. Wells hands him one, which Burke reads, and then storms out without explanation. Vicki tries to pump Mr. Wells for information. That Devlin guy. Do you know him? Is he always so moody? Mr. Wells explains that he's known Burke since he was knee high to a can of saddle soap, but never saw him like this before, by Yiminy. Vicki asks Conrad "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?", and let's just say it doesn't go over very well.
The scene suddenly switches to some seedy bar. A life preserver on the wall informs us that the place is called The Blue Whale. It looks like the local version of Pop Tate's Chock'lit Shoppe, only more Gothic (and more fishy).
Burke enters and sits down with a seedy guy who looks like a poor man's Sam Spade. The guy's name is Strake, and he insists on buying Burke a beer. After all, how often does a guy get a chance to buy his employer a beer? ("Without cyanide in it, hardly ever.")
Burke delivers a short expository speech about how he got Strake's message, and how Strake was hired to dig up all the information he could on the Collins family, and what has he got? Strake hands Burke a copy of the show's Story Bible, written by Art Wallace himself. Burke reads the title, Shadows on the Wall, and chews Strake out for buying the Story Bible for the wrong show!! Strake explains that it's the right show, all right, they just changed the title in pre-production.
Back at the Inn, Vicki seeks refuge in the Coffee Shoppe, where she meets a hard-bitten hash-slinging Florence Jean Kasselbery "Kiss My Grits" style waitress in a blonde wig, who says her name is Maggie Evans. In very short order, Maggie will morph into almost as big an ingénue as Vicki herself (Vicki probably sneezed on her at some point in this conversation). Maggie offers Vicki some of the diner's Tuna Surprise ("If I told you what was in it, it wouldn't be a surprise!")
Maggie bluntly tells Vicki that she's a jerk; J-E-R-K, for even considering working at a nutty place like Collinwood. Yes, Maggie already knows about it. This is a small town, where it's impossible to keep a secret. Maggie delivers another expository speech about how the Collins family owns the biggest mansion, the biggest cannery, the biggest fishing fleet, the biggest egos, and the biggest wad of cash in the county. And they're kooks. Every single one of them. They're Creepy and Kooky! Mysterious and spooky. In fact, they're altogether ooky. The Coll-ins Fa-mi-ly. (Duh-duh-duh-duh! Snap! Snap!)
Maggie insists that Vicki is a jerk for going to Collinwood, but fails to tell her where the bodies are hidden, or anything else that might actually be useful. This triggers another flashback. Maggie doesn't want to hear it, so Vicki just thinks this one to herself.
In the even more recent past, Vicki is in her room at the Foundling Home, packing her suitcase. Her roommate, Sandy promises to think of Vicki... every time she uses their bathroom without having to stand on line. Sandy wants to know why Vicki would want to go to a Nowheresville burg like Collinsport, where even the Zip Code is a fraction. And didn't she just buy season tickets for the Staten Island Fairies? Why, a goil with Vicki's looks and brains could get a job anywhere in "New Yowuk". Vicki admits she does regret leaving before she found out who was buried in Grant's Tomb. (Would you believe a girl with Vicki's looks could get a job anywhere in New York?)
In the diner, Maggie jostles Vicki back to the present. What was she saying about Grant's Tomb? Gee, Vicki is talking to herself already. Maybe she really does belong up in that big house. Vicki says maybe she does, which will turn out to be one of her stock smart-alec answers for everything.
Back at the Blue Whale, Strake is in the middle of yet another long expository speech. Liz Stoddard owns the Collins mansion and cannery, and makes all of the business decisions. Roger is her spineless brother, he just moved back to town about a month ago, bringing his Devil Tot son David with him. Mrs. Stoddard hasn't set foot off the property in 18 years. In fact, not since the day after her husband Paul disappeared without a trace, and she fired all the servants, locked a mysterious room in the basement, and warned everyone not to enter on pain of death. Nobody can imagine what it all means. And if you can imagine, keep it to yourself, until we get around to that subplot.
Back at the Coffee Shoppe, Maggie is telling Vicki that the coffee is on the house. It's the least she can do for somebody who's taking a job up at that spooky old Collinsport place. No, no, Vicki corrects. It's Collinwood. Maggie says yeah, yeah, right. Collinwood. It's only Episode 1, there are bound to be a few mistakes. Gary Coleman pokes his head in and tells Mr. Wells that the taxi is ready. It looks like this was supposed to be an outtake, but somehow it made it into the final cut.
Later, Vicki's taxi pulls up outside of a house that could only be described as the classic "Spooky Old Place". It's a bit more G rated than the Amityville House, though. In fact, it looks exactly like the haunted house in the opening credits of the first season of Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" Since Scooby came later, maybe that was another homage.
Vicki pays the taxi driver and comments about how you usually don't see so many headless hitchhikers back in New York. The taxi driver says "Can I help it if you come from a weird town?"
As Vicki knocks on the front door of the creepy old joint, a loud boom reverberates through the house. Liz herself answers the door with a "You rang?", and invites Vicki to come into her "parlour". In the front Foyer, Vicki comments on what a lovely house it is. "I'm glad you think so," says Liz, as she triple locks the door behind Vicki. Vicki jumps as a scary musical stinger plays. Liz assures her that it's nothing. You know how some houses creak? Well, this one has incidental music.At this point, we fade to black. As the credits roll, Vicki says it was fun, and promises to see everyone next week. Vicki is shocked to learn that this is a daytime soap opera, and they'll be filming again tomorrow. Vicki's answer is not unprintable, but is decidedly un-Gothic, and so gets blipped by the censor.
