Summer Cannibals
You know what you did, you know what I saw. Now I take back my doubt so that you'll crawl. Summer Cannibals' fourth album Can't Tell Me No, out June 28th on Tiny Engines, is a defiant release whose very existence is the result of taking back power—after escaping a manipulative personal and creative relationship, guitarist/vocalist and bandleader Jessica Boudreaux chose to scrap an entire record that had been finished for over a year and start from scratch. "We had to sacrifice an album we'd worked hard on so that someone abusive and manipulative couldn't benefit from it," says Boudreaux. "It was, in a matter of 24 hours, making the decision to start something new or let them win."

Turn the pliers to release the screw from the material, and pull out the screw. Turn the screw counterclockwise so that it begins to loosen. The impacts knock the screw loose a bit while you are trying to turn it free. Instead of using a screw extractor, use a sharp center punch near the perimeter of the broken part. Easy out screw extractors are one of the solutions that a mechanic might use in order to remove a screw that has become stripped. The rear trigger guard screw was missing. This new screw is positioned so that by aligning the hole in the rear of the trigger guard with the welded metal, you can now drill & tap this steel for 1/4 X 28 (or 1/4″ National Fine) threads. If you copy the head shape of the front guard screw (which is the same size threads) with the taper under the head, you can get your new screw to fit. This screw length can be the same as the front screw which has 1″ under the head.
The front guard screw & the barrel band screw had to be put in a milling machine & mill the heads off the screws in order to remove the & save what was left of that wood conservatively called a gunstock. Using a screw extractor involves drilling into metal. They are designed for precision drilling in metal, wood and plastic. Nylon webbing that uses the loop thru type plastic retainers. The early ribs were made of metal while the later ribs are plastic. While I featured the ROCKETSOCKET in the "best bolt extractor" category, I was also considering the more affordable Irwin Hanson BOLT-GRIP set which offers good quality as well. This pretty well insures that the base & receiver are drilled in unison. All the metal was well coated with a protective coating of DEEP rust. When I made this purchase, you could distinguish some rifling hiding between the heavy rust inside the barrel.
The ejector spring was so weak (& in backwards) that it was inoperable & the ejector pivot pin so seized in the receiver so bad that it required a Acetylene torch's heat to be able to break the rust loose so it could be removed. The firing pin spring was weak enough that some cartridges (after rebarreling) would misfire. A new heavy duty Wolff firing pin spring was purchased & installed correcting that problem. This can be done without disassembly of the trigger unit & still protect the temper of the sear spring because of the lesser heat required for that type of welding. Also this trigger unit is riveted together & not made to be readily disassembled. 7/16″ X 1/2″ was brazed onto the rear of the trigger housing. This length of steel was selected to give a larger area for fiberglass bedding at this area as there is no other real stock bearing surface at the rear & yet not interfere with functioning of the trigger.
Since this action does not have any real flat bottom to align it rotationally, you will need to do this pretty much by eye. Most can be made from scrap metal, some will cost you a bit because they're specialized and the market for them is small. After the threads have been removed, the threaded opening can be tapped to the right size again. If the part that you need to access is inside the barrel or is too narrow for this tool then the workman's compass is the right tool, not this. 3) center drill so that you have about .100 metal under the screw head to the bottom of the base is about right. Be sure that this screw is short enough as to not bottom out making for a loose base. Two times I have ground the bolt flush with the manifold (both sides)took a small tip in my cutting torch, heated the bolt shaft and blown the inside out.

The Grammy roundup
Here are some random thoughts about last night's grammy awards…
- The Time doing "Jungle Love" mashed up with "Umbrella" was a bit underwhelming don'tcha think?
- Carrie Underwood in a catsuit? simply marvelous. thank you.
- Even though I'm a lifetime Beatles fan, I wasn't really sure why the Grammys needed to pay tribute to the Beatles yet again. The Cirque du Soleil performance of "A Day in the Life" was "meh". The "Across the Universe" version of "Let it Be" was pretty good though.
- They're gonna have to stop with the Yoko Ono camera shots whenever the Beatles are mentioned or else expect a worldwide "Pavlov's Dog" reaction. blech.
- that Foo Fighters' performance rocked. definitely more memorable than any other part of the evening at that point.
- Aretha Franklin in a yellow sleeveless gown. not the best of visuals there.
- wow. Israel Houghton and New Breed only getting a minute and half performance time. well, it's better than nothing I guess.
- Rhapsody in Blue is always a crowd pleaser.
- I was holding my breath during the whole Amy Winehouse performance hoping it wouldn't be a complete trainwreck. she did fine. thank God.
- Wow. Herbie Hancock winning album of the year? there's a head scratcher for ya.

The Pfister Hotel's Pop-Up Gallery was chockablock with color, texture and Project Runway references on Friday, when the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA) treated fashion fans to a preview of their summer exhibition "Contemporary Threads: Wisconsin Fashion."
The show, which opens on June 3 and runs through August 20, includes work by 10 contemporary designers with Wisconsin connections. Among them are Project Runway alumnae Peach Carr, Miranda Levy-Adler, Linda Breshears Marcus and Katelyn Pankoke. Also featured in the exhibition are local designers Lynne Dixon-Speller, Shannon Molter, Tama Roberts, Sara Terrell, Alex Ulichny and Heidi Witz.
Though their personal styles differ, all 10 of the designers create wearable works of art that blend the accessible and the avant-garde. And, according to MOWA Executive Director Laurie Winters, they all use "fashion and their personal style to reinforce identity or make social statements that capture their greatest aspirations."
Many of the designers attended the Friday preview, including Miranda Levy-Adler, whose fire-engine red lipstick and eyeglasses perfectly matched one of her whimsical designs—a partially transparent jacket festooned with brightly colored, blocky letters—on display at the event. Levy-Adler explained that her day-to-day experiences as a new mother have influenced much of her recent work. "I got the idea for this piece while watching my son's alphabet magnets slide down our fridge," she said. "I'm often inspired by interior spaces."
Levy-Adler was joined at the event by MOWA curators and many
other designers, including Milwaukee's own Heidi Witz, who owns a boutique at 2218 N Farwell Ave and favors clothing that flatters a variety of body types. "I like the femininity of ruffles," Witz said, gesturing to one of her curve-hugging designs, a sheer black dress embroidered with rosettes. "But I want my clothes to work for all of my customers. There are a lot of practicalities to consider."
Other practicalities to consider: the MOWA is located at 205 Veteran's Avenue, in West Bend. And if you missed the Friday-night preview of the exhibition at the Pfister, you can still see "Contemporary Threads" in its entirety there. The museum will be hosting an opening party, complete with fashion-themed music by DJ Michael Weiss, on June 17. And it will also be presenting a Project Runway Panel and a Fashion 411 panel in conjunction with the exhibition later this summer.
So, if you're trying to find time in your schedule this summer to see the exhibition, you'll have several opportunities to (as sartorial superstar Tim Gunn would say) "make it work."

Fantastic News!
I heard on Friday that I have passed my 3rd Dan Kickboxing Exam. It's such a relief to know that I won't have to face another exam, and I'm over the moon to know that, I've managed to prove I'm good enough to belong to a very exclusive group of people who have achieved this grade.
I'll be awarded a new belt shortly and presented with a plaque, to keep and remind me of the sweat and tears that went into getting this far. It feels like a huge honor, but, shows what's possible with a bit of determination, hard work and a great support team.
I'm not sure what's next for me, I'll continue with the kickboxing, as I'm a massive fan and it's something I'm very passionate about. But I'll certainly be on the lookout for my next challenge.

Why Is Everyone All of the Sudden Obsessed With Storing Their Skin Care in the Fridge?
Tehrene Firman・November 7, 2018
Move over, salsa and carrot sticks. Lately, it seems like everyone is making room in their refrigerators for their skin care—and, in some cases, even getting mini fridges that are solely dedicated to their go-to products. Sure, slathering on something fresh out of the fridge might feel a little more luxe than something at room temperature, but is there any real benefit to the craze? (Spoiler: the answer is yes. A lot of 'em)
Now, first thing's first: The whole skin care-in-the-fridge thing isn't anything new. According to Lana Pinchasov, a dermatology-certified physician's assistant in New York City, this is an old tactic that's now making a comeback. "Years ago, there were some acne products that required refrigeration to prevent chemical breakdown, and interestingly enough, patients hated having to refrigerate them," she tells me. Oh how times have changed. Today's #shelfies are starting to involve the shelf of the refrigerator…and no one's complaining about the many perks of the colder products.
While room-temp skin-care products are still doing your complexion plenty of good, there are some items in particular that benefit from being refrigerated. And one of the biggest? Any sort of gel. "I love gel products to help cool, irritated skin. The skin doesn't always need creams, so gel masks are a great way to maximize hydration without adding a thick layer on top of the skin," New York City-based dermatologist Dendy Engelman, MD, tells me. "Throwing them in the fridge adds an extra cooling and de-puffing effect. The cold restricts the blood vessels, so it instantly reduces puffiness and redness." Just ask Mandy Moore, who's a big fan of the method.
"Years ago, there were some acne products that required refrigeration to prevent chemical breakdown, and interestingly enough, patients hated having to refrigerate them." —Lana Pinchasov, dermatology-certified physician's assistant
Aside from gels, another skin care product that should be in your fridge is your eye creams to get even more bang for your buck. "As we age, we lose subcutaneous fat, which can mask blueness below the surface of the skin. Additionally, the shadows caused by the hollowness where there was once more fat can also appear to be dark circles," Dr. Engelman says. "Applying a cold product cools the delicate eye area and makes the underlying blood vessels smaller."
Those aren't the only skin-care items to store, though. Pinchasov says keeping clay-based products cold—which can sometimes dry out at room temp—keeps them fresh and usable. "Also, for patients suffering from severe eczema or itching, I'll often advise them to store their anti-itch creams in the fridge, which helps soothe the skin on application and gives an overall calming effect," she says. Then there's those feel-good metal roller balls, too: "This will gently distribute lymphatic build-up from underneath the eyes, alleviating under eye puffiness and dark circles," Engelman explains. Just keep your thick oil-based products and serums out. "Sometimes they can solidify or change texture, making it more difficult to apply to your face," Pinchasov says.
Overall, it's pretty clear that designating a certain area of your fridge for all your skin care goodies is a smart choice. Just make sure your roomie doesn't accidentally spread any of them on her sandwiches.
Here's why beauty muds are making a comeback in skin care. Or, find out how to layer skin care ingredients the right way, according to dermatologists.

Arsenal's winning streak came to a halt in South London, as the Selhurst Park fans saw their first Crystal Palace goals and a much-needed point in their bid to beat the drop.
Palace took a deserved lead in stoppage time of the first half, when they were awarded a penalty for Mustafi's foul on Kouyate, and Milivojevic stepped up to confidently slot the ball past the Leno. Having gone into none of the previous eleven games ahead at half-time, but having gone on to win them all, Arsenal could take confidence that they would get back into the game.
It did not take long for that to happen. Six minutes into the second half, the referee gave Arsenal a chance from a free-kick on the edge of the box. Granit Xhaka stood over the ball with everyone expecting him to put it towards the back post for his teammates to attack.
Well he certainly put in towards the back post, as he drilled it with so much power that the despairing fingertips of Hennessey in goal could not deflect the ball enough as it crashed against the far post and into the net; a quite superb free-kick from the Swiss international that any keeper would have struggled to keep out.
A mere five minutes later, and the Arsenal second-half comeback that their fans had become accustomed to in recent months was complete as Aubameyang forced the ball over the line to give the Gunners the lead. There was some controversy in the goal, as the ball deflected off a combination of Ayew's head and Lacazette's out-stretched hand towards Aubameyang at the back post.
The Gabonese captain reached the ball ahead of his marker with his stud to poke to ball goalwards, but it initially looked like Hennessey had made the same to preserve the 1-1 scoreline. However, the referee's watch flashed goal and Arsenal had the lead, thanks to 9mm of space between the ball and the goal line.
The drama was not over, as Palace were awarded a contentious penalty in the 83rd minute, with a chance to level the score. Zaha made a trademark forward run into the box, with step-overs galore, as he tried to get past makeshift left-back Granit Xhaka. He knocked the ball past him as Xkaha stretched his leg out before pulling it back, but Zaha left his leg behind and found the contact he needed as their knees collided.
There can be arguments over how much contact was needed, and how much more Zaha put into his fall to the ground, but the referee blew for a second Palace penalty of the afternoon. Captain Milivojevic once again drove the ball into the back of the net to send the home fans into a rapturous cheer. The sides held out the final minutes and Palace had earned their first home point of the season, at the expense of Arsenal's winning streak.
A Home Goal for Palace…Finally
Fifth time's a charm for Palace as they finally give the home fans a reason to cheer, with the first home goals of the season. Although both goals were from the penalty spot, and thus with a certain degree of assistance from the visitors, it was no more than Palace deserved.
They had been one of only two teams in the Premier League that had not managed to score a goal at home, the other being Huddersfield. With injuries to target-men like Benteke, and the out of form performances from replacement strikers Ayew and Sørloth, Palace never looked like they'd break that drought.
Although it can't gloss over the fact that although they got two goals against Arsenal, they were both from the penalty spot, meaning they are still struggling to find the back of the net from open play. It is a problem that they will have to rectify quickly, as a new striker in January, if they manage to get one, could be too little too late.
Arsenal Pay the Penalty
It was the Arsenal defence that cost them all three points once again, although there is an argument of unluckiness surrounding the goals. For the first, Mustafi was unfortunate that his attempt to clear the ball amidst a scrappy fumble in the box was met with the back of Kouyate's leg rather than the ball. In the words of the TV commentator, he 'scythed' the Senegalese midfielder down, and gave Milivojevic the chance to redeem himself for his missed penalty against Everton.
There was contention over the second, with the familiar calls of simulation as Zaha tumbled over the challenge from Xhaka. Although there looked to be some contact on the knee of the Palace winger, the leap over the leg, and tumble to the ground, did look as if he exaggerated the foul. Although it was probably a foul, and thus another penalty, it is the exacerbation of the contact that does not help Zaha's case against those who call him a diver.
Milivojevic: Man of Serbian Steel
It takes a lot of bottle to step up to the penalty spot, a mere week after missing one in a game where your team ultimately lost. It takes even more to do it twice in the same game. However, it did not seem to phase the Serbian, who slotted both penalties into the side netting both to the left of the keeper.
It is a rare occurrence for Milivojevic to miss a penalty, he's only missed three of the thirteen he's now taken for the South London club. You could see by the primal scream in his celebration how much it meant to him, especially as it got Palace their first point at home this season.
Aubameyang Scoring Form Continues
Where other top strikers like Kane and Lukaku are in and out of form in recent weeks, Aubameyang's scoring form keeps rolling on. After grabbing four in the last two games, having only played 57 minutes combined between the two games, he sits atop of the goals per minutes table. Chosen to play from the start this week, he put his name on the scoresheet for the third straight game, albeit with the assistance of the goal-line technology and a suspect hand from Lacazette.
Aubameyang has now got seven goals so far this season, making him joint top of the goalscoring charts with Chelsea's Eden Hazard. He had been hotly tipped to challenge for the golden boot, and although he had a somewhat rocky start to the season, much like Arsenal, he now looks to be in the scoring flow, and the challenge is on.
The Fighting Spirit
Fans south of the river had been fretting about the horror show that could be the next month. Looking at the Eagles form, having lost the last three games, and looking ahead to a run of games that consisted of Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester United, it did not look likely that their form would change any time soon. However, the Palace players put in a performance that showed a level of spirit that fans had been calling out for; for weeks. A performance where they fought for every ball, passed it around quickly and efficiently, and also had some cutting edge.
They could have had a couple in the first half, which was probably the best half of football they've played this season. Zaha was unlucky to find his low driven shot thunder against the outside edge of the post, and after a sequence of one-touch passing that even Arsenal would have been proud of, Townsend skewed the ball wide of Leno's goal when he should really have scored. After this weekend, maybe the fans can feel a bit more optimistic about the next three fixtures, and hope they can take some more points off some of the bigger clubs.

Asia: Stocks tumble as Trump elected US President in shock win
[KUALA LUMPUR] Asian stocks slumped the most since June in volatile trading as Republican Donald Trump won the US presidential race, shocking investors who had expected Democrat Hillary Clinton to win.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell 2.6 per cent to 134.3 as of 4:55pm in Tokyo, with short-term volatility spiking on Wednesday as Mr Trump stunned traders by defeating Mrs Clinton to become the 45th president of the US.
Markets from Japan to India fell the most since at least June 24, when Britain shocked investors by opting to leave the European Union, as investors dumped global risk securities and bought safe-haven assets including the yen and gold.
"This is on a completely different level to Brexit," said Norihiro Fujito, a Tokyo-based senior investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co.
"The framework of the world will change, not only in terms of economies and the financial markets, but also in terms of national security, foreign policy."

After starting the day higher, the Asian equity benchmark soon erased those gains as results started pouring in showing Mr Trump edging ahead of Mrs Clinton in the most contentious US election in recent history.
The gauge languished near the day's lows as it became clear that the real-estate developer and reality-TV star was gaining an upper hand in key states, putting him on course to become the 45th president of the United States.
Surprised Markets
Just 59 shares rose compared with 925 stocks that fell on the Asian benchmark, while trading volume doubled in markets including Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea. The Topix Index slumped 4.6 per cent for its biggest drop since June 24, dragged lower by exporters after the yen jumped the most in three months.
Taiwan's Taiex Index was down 3 per cent to head for its largest loss since August last year. South Korea's Kospi index fell 2.3 per cent, New Zealand's S&P/NZX 50 Index dropped 3.3 per cent and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index declined 1.9 per cent.
Singapore's Straits Times Index lost 1.3 per cent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index slid 2.4 per cent and China's Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.6 per cent, retreating from a 10-month high.
The market was not prepared for a Trump victory, says Mark Matthews, Singapore-based head of Asia research at Bank of Julius Baer.
"Much like Brexit, the polls and the betting websites going into the elections were telling us a Trump victory isn't going to happen," he said.
The Republican, who has never held public office, was projected to be the victor early Wednesday by the Associated Press and television networks after Wisconsin pushed him over the 270 Electoral College vote threshold needed to become president-elect. When sworn in on Jan 20, Mr Trump will preside over a government he's called corrupt and unworthy of trust.
At Stake
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index has fallen 3.1 per cent from its September peak through Tuesday, as global investors looked to the election, which puts the leadership of the world's largest economy at stake at a time when America is divided over immigration, trade and the country's role in the wider world. Speculation Mr Trump may win the election spurred swaps traders to trim wagers on tighter US monetary policy, with market-implied chances of a December rate hike by the Federal Reserve plunging below 50 per cent.
"It's caught people off guard but it's like Brexit," Karl Goody, a private wealth manager at Shaw and Partners Ltd in Sydney, which oversees about A$10 billion (S$10.6 billion), said by phone.
"You're going to see a similar case where people realise there has been an overreaction in the short term and then once it all sinks in and they realise it's not going to affect them as much as they first thought, you'll see a significant turnaround and rebound in the market."
Futures on the S&P 500 Index tumbled as much as 5 per cent before paring losses to 2.8 per cent. The underlying equity measure added 0.4 per cent on Tuesday to cap its best two-day climb since June.

There is a Samsung tablet that exists in rumors. Hardly surprising, as there are as many tablet devices in the form of speculations than in the real world, though the Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 is a bit different. The tablet is believed to come with a resolution that is at par with Apple's Retina Display or maybe even better.
The tablet has been spotted on Samsung's own webpage that is dedicated to Samsung Exynos 5 dual core processors. Samsung's earlier 10 inch tablet devices, the Galaxy Tab 10.1N and Galaxy Tab 2, are both powered by the Tegra 2 chip, but it looks to be clear as daylight that the new Galaxy Tab 11.6 will be powered by the Exynos 5 chip or something better. The iPad 3 has just gone live and a Samsung response to that is already due.
Also, given Samsung's recent spate of court battles with Apple over cases of infringement of the iPad's design patents, the Samsung design team will work doubly hard to ensure their next tablet is discussed more in tech circles and markets than various courts the world over. Perhaps this should explain why the tablet seen at the Exynos 5 page does carry a striking similarity with the Galaxy Tab 10.1N, a design changeover that has managed to dodge Apple's legal hawks in Germany and elsewhere. However, this is speculation at best in the absence of hardcore evidence, which means Samsung's answer to the new iPad could even be seen sporting a radical new design. At least, something of that sort could be seen as a fitting reply to Apple, as well as critics that often accuse the Korean giant for being a "fast executioner," meaning good at launching its own version of market leading products instead of coming up with its own iconic design.
Coming back to Galaxy Tab 11.6, the tablet device seen at the Samsung Exynos page could be a prototype device used as a technology demonstrator. However, we hope to come across the real thing soon.
So keep watching!

The Rebekah Paul experience
You and I know both know photographers are a dime a dozen many of which are priced competitively. I am grateful you made it here on your search for a photographer. Sure, a lot of us photographers have the same equipments so what makes me different from the rest?
Intentional focus on your experience
Now, I speak from experience here and I'm going to tell you a harsh truth. Some photographers are focused on quantity of weddings booked, and not the quality of the experience provided. Unless you know how to decipher them, often times you find out when it's too late. My mission and what drives my session experience is authenticity to the couple. You see these photos aren't going to hang on my walls, or be shown to my grandchildren, but they will for you. Pulling out genuine laughter and the true character of your relationship doesn't just happen. The comfort of being able to feel and act yourselves during a photography session happens when you feel comfortable and safe with the photographer. This is why I make it a point to get to know couples throughout the whole wedding planning process.
Experienced guidance
I believe a professionals job is not to be a "yes" man but to give an honest review of what options would best serve the paying couple. I understand that as the professional I have the insight and foresight to see what the lay person may not. I am the one shooting session after session and wedding after wedding and has seen what works great and what might not work so great. I have no issues letting you know that doing a sparkler exit 3 hours after open bar, isn't the best idea but with a little compromised I can make it to where you are still able to get what you want!
Tasteful use of light
Natural light photographer is a word you might see a lot while shopping for a photographer. Natural sunrise or sunset light is great and almost always looks amazing. But what happens at night when natural light is scares? Some photographers solution is to bump up the cameras ISO (the cameras built in artificial light), the problem is, this makes for very grainy image. Or the photographer will make the images in black and white as to hide the very orange look of outdoor/ fire light. The knowledge in effective use of flash combats all these solution. This way you are able to get dimly lit reception photos in full color, without the noise of grain, or super orange photos. Flash also allows for amazing creative images! Just take a look!
14-20 day turnaround
Yes, you read that right. I have a 14-20 day turn around time on your editing wedding gallery. I don't believe any paid-in-full bride should wait more than a month for their wedding images. God forbid 3 to 6 months! That's why I've incorporated processes and systems to my work flow that creates efficiency without compromising quality.... never compromise quality! As a matter of fact all my brides get a few sneak peaks texted to their phone 24-48 hours after the wedding (often times sooner). Just a little Rebekah Paul Perk ;)
Last, but certainly not the least of these is creativity. Creativity is something that comes from the heart space. It's unmatched not easily replicated, and very individualized. The way I see it, our images are a product of your authenticity (brought about by a relationship between couple and photographer), my professional knowledge and creativity. This is OUR art. You are not my commodity to look great in my portfolio and I am not your commodity to keep my head down show up and shoot, No. This is team work, this is the creation of something that will be a memoir for your family, a beacon of hope when life gets tough, and a moment in the history of you.

Tell me what is wrong with this sentence: Liverpool splash out £20 million on Sunderland's Jordan Henderson, Manchester United look set to pay around £15 million for Blackburn centre-back Phil Jones while Arsenal announce the signing of 19-year-old Charlton defender Carl Jenkinson.
Haven't got it yet? Wednesday morning bought with it a flurry of transfer activity as the top teams began to creak into action and show their hand ahead of the 2012 season and the Arsenal faithful would have been left utterly confused by the developments in the transfer market this morning after Arsene Wenger did exactly what the team didn't need and broght a promising youngster to the club.
More worryingly for the Gunners, Jones spoke to Arsenal before opting for United; and with that Arsenal were left to wonder if their summer will continue in the same vein it has started in.
And while rumours of David De Gea, Alexis Sanchez and Ashley Young joining United and Liverpool are heavily linked with Stuart Downing and Charlie Adam, Arsenal appear to have taken a back seat when they needed to be proactive.
Arsenal are in real danger of being dragged backwards and eaten up by the chasing pack; if the potential departure of Nasri wasn't warning enough of the need to act, their woeful finish to the season that allowed Manchester City to ease past them into 3rd place and the final automatic Champions League spot should have set the alarm bells ringing
There is still plenty of time to act; indeed Wenger's record of signing little known players and making them superstars is almost unmatched. But the Frenchman finds himself in unfamiliar territory as he looks to attract established big names with experience to a club that is trophy-less for six years – the tables have turned on Wenger and he is now in a critical stage of his Arsenal career; and if he doesn't come good on his vow to add significantly to his squad, will the whispers of discontent around the Emirates grow to a shout?

Having recently gone through a tough decision making moment, I was reminded of how much our body's physiology can shout the right answer to us and flash warning lights in our mind, whether we 'hear' or 'see' them is another matter.
Let's assume you have three options to choose from, and one of those options is the right decision for you. Two of those options, when mentally considered, will make you feel tense, whilst the correct one will make you feel relaxed. The decision that makes you feel relaxed is usually the one to go for. Your body will usually feel tense or relaxed because it is responding to information that you have stored in your body and/or are accessing from the environment around you. In the article outlined above I cite two main pieces of research that support this.
Now, what you might do is make a decision and then wonder why something about it is troubling you, and has perhaps done so for a while. Sometimes we make the wrong decision and we get a feeling within our body that tells us, "Something's not right about that decision". In the same way that we need to pay attention to these sensations within our body when making a decision, we also need to pay attention to them if they are trying to send us a post-decision warning.
If you know something doesn't feel right about a decision you've already made, then there is a reason for it. Speak to someone you trust to be level-headed and ask them to help you explore why you don't feel the decision you made was the right one.
As you pay attention to your body's signals and begin to explore the reasons behind them, you'll start to unearth information you have embedded under thoughts and beliefs such as "I feel I should", "I feel trapped", "I think I have to", and so on. You may not have expected to be trapped or indeed be trapped, but it may be the very thinking that led you to make that wrong decision.
Once you've understood why you went for the seemingly wrong decision, you can then begin the decision making process all over again. This time around, pay attention to your body's tell-tale signs as to which option is right for you. The area around the heart, gut, shoulders, neck, back and scalp are key. Focus your attention on these areas to determine if the decision you're considering makes you feel tense or relaxed and whether consciously or not, you are aware of the reason for your body's signals.

We all know "animal print" is a wardrobe must but today's topic is not referring to leopard. Today I'm talking literal animal prints. I was inspired after Friday's post featured Julia in her adorable horse print scarf. Now I'm feeling a bit foxy! And let me tell you, it wasn't hard to find examples of this trend because fox print is everywhere! Clutches, sweaters, pants and even tights! So tell me, would you?
I personally think this trend is adorable! I'm especially loving the fox scarf (above) from Asos! If you want more foxy inspiration check out this creative Pinterest board where I snagged these images! Hope you all are having a great week!

Your kids will always be curious to know what you are doing in the garden, and if possible, they will look for a way to emulate you. To these kids, they are just trying to do what you are doing, but in reality, it might signal a fascination with gardening.
Gardening is a magical thing that ought to be part of every kid's upbringing, regardless of where you live. The good thing is that you do not need a big space to have a garden in the home; you can as well do it in a secluded corner of the yard.
So, should you encourage your kids to get into the garden?
Dirt is Good
Digging up soil, planting seeds and pulling out the weeds gets the kids hands covered in dirt, which is good for the children. Dirt, as much as it gets the kids looking dirty, is a way to teach them hygiene. It also gives them something to play with that is not a toy.
It Gets Your Kids Outside
Does your child fear getting outside the house? With the allure of gardening comes a great way to go out and enjoy the sunshine. Children will be so amazed at the growing plants, and they will go out each day to see what is happening in the garden. There is nothing as satisfying to the kid as plucking the first peas or a tomato. Getting them outside makes them stay active, smarter and it reduces stress.
It Encourages Healthy Eating
Even the fussy kids are so willing to try the vegetables and fruits that you grow. While gardening with the kids, you have the opportunity to talk to them about eating healthy and making everything work well in the garden. In fact, you will find your kid helping himself to all manner of things right from carrots to fruits to anything that is edible.
Helps Build Muscle and Coordination
Gardening is ideal for building muscle, coordination and fine motor skills. Digging dirt is not easy, and if you offer the kids the right kinds of equipment, you help them to build muscles and develop skills. One of the equipment you can buy for them is the children wheelbarrow from Wheel That. Make sure you choose the right size for their needs and their bodies.
In Closing
When it comes to gardening, you need to make sure that you have the right tools. With the right tools, it is easy to instil this practice in your kids as well.

Can You?
July 11, 2018
I remember being scared to do the wrong things growing up. I hated being told off. If you know me now, you will know I still hate being told what to do...that is why I am a yoga TEACHER haha so I can tell YOU what to do...JOKES!
Moving on...
I had both an older sister and an older brother who were both studious, coordinated (actually my sister was/is perhaps selectively coordinated #sorryIstillloveyou), fit (my whole family are/were runners....except me #outcast), driven, popular and...standard-setters. As in, if and when they got in trouble, I took a mental note to NEVER do that. I never wanted to be in my dad's bad books. He was pretty cruisy, both my parents were, but when you did something wrong, you knew about it.
My siblings were merely 2 years apart and thus had common friend groups and interests, and I was the 'annoying' little sister. (Nowadays, I am the normal one...if only you knew)
My best friend was a Jehovah witness and the naughtiest stuff we did was bush bash and have water fights in the half-built houses with the other boys from the neighbourhood.
My boyfriend was a Christian and I got seriously in trouble from Dad one night when he found out I went to youth group (basically an evening where all the christian kids hang out and do something fun - this particular night we played spotlight in the bush at Bandy Creek.). In this relationship I learned about saying 'Grace' at the dinner table and our after school 'dates' (if you could even call them that) consisted of either a beach walk or helping one another with our homework. I'd help him with Chemistry and he would help me with English (BOOM nailed it! (Thanks highschool loverboy) Here I am writing publicly!! #nojudgement).
I never toyed with the idea of drugs. Or alcohol for that matter. I wasn't interested in parties. I just wanted to get home from school so I could go for a walk on the beach or build another ramp with the bmx boys.
In highschool my part time job was teaching gymnastics (I also dabbled in a little cafe work as well as retail - mum worked in a clothing shop). I remembered dreaming of being an Olympic gymnastics coach one day...pretty happy with where that dream took me.
My weekend highlights were going 4WD-ing with my dad (and whoever else wanted to come) and catching fish and also enjoying picnic platters on the beach. I loved staying salty well beyond sun-down.
I was 16 when I had my first kiss. And it scared the heck out of me. Then we broke up...hopefully my kissing has improved since ;)
My first alcoholic drink was at my going away party about 2 weeks before I was to turn 18. I think I felt full after one midori and lemonade. I was leaving to go and live in Germany for a year....yes, German culture is full of alcohol and it was great fun having a host sister who wanted to drive me everywhere.
My Mum got diagnosed with a terminal illness, and though I came home briefly, I returned to Germany to live my life overseas and soak up the opportunity I had been given. Though we didn't know how long she had to live, and there were a few horrific scares along the way I did stay for my full year.
When my year ended, Mum was still ill, but fighting strong, so I moved to Margaret river with another best friend, lived in a tent and picked grapes.
A few years after Mum died, I was living in Perth studying Naturopathy - trying to understand why someone so healthy and fit could get so sick. I remember phoning Dad one afternoon to tell him I had just gotten dreddies, "It was only a matter of time" he replied. Mum however, would have possibly rolled over in her grave. Sorry Mum! She was always beautifully presented, my Mum. She wouldn't let me grow my hair as a kid, because I would never brush it. Fair call...When I cut my dreds off (and FYI while I had them I washed my hair more regularly than ever in my life. I even blow dried them! They were pretty loved!), Dad kept them and has sewn them onto a beanie. True story. It all is. My Dad is a legend.
Never surprised by my individuality, but never letting me get away with too much, Mum + Dad have always allowed me to dream my own dreams, create my own friendships and explore my own curiosities.
I am also glad for all the other standers-by that have gently nudged me certain ways along this path. It has been an interesting journey so far.
But I'm not done yet.
My greatest dream in this life is that I never fit into any one single box. And I hope I continue to wake up every day, confident that I have everything I need already inside of me.
And for you? I really hope you know the same. Or learn to know the same.
What is in me, is in you.
And what is in me has been enough to get me through some epic emotional torture and heartache. And what is in you, can do the same.
Whatever you are going through, (or maybe currently feel stuck in) whatever you are fighting, please know that there is a little part of you that is so bright and full of joy. Sometimes we need to just peel back a few layers...or maybe just one layer at a time. Be patient.
You can do whatever you want in this life.
You are limitless and you are SO enough.

If children and teens are around bodies of water on a regular basis, it's important for parents to know cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR can save lives, reduce the severity of injury, and improve the chance of survival. CPR training is available through the American Red Cross, the American Heart Association, and your local hospital or fire department.
Although older youth are more likely to know how to swim, they are still at risk for drowning. This is because of an overestimation of their skills, lack of awareness of water currents or water depth, and drinking alcohol or using drugs. To protect your teen from drowning, the American Academy of Pediatrics offers the following tips:
Insist that your teens always swim with a buddy.
Encourage your teen to take swimming, diving, and water safety or rescue classes to learn the skills to swim and dive safely. These classes may also prevent your teen from acting recklessly.
Teach your teen to never swim or dive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Make sure your teen checks the depth of the water before diving.
Diving accidents can result in permanent spinal cord injuries, brain damage, and death. Diving accidents may happen when a person:
Dives into shallow water.
Dives into above-ground pools, which are usually shallow.
Dives into the shallow end of a pool.
Springs upward from the diving board and hits the board on the way down.
On boats, PFDs should be U.S. Coast Guard-approved. In fact, many states require the use of PFDs on all boats at all times. Don't rely on blow-up swimming devices, such as "water wings," rafts, and toys. They are not safe and won't prevent drowning.
It is important that the PFD is the correct size for your teen (life jackets are usually labeled "adult" or "child"). However, PFDs don't replace adult supervision.
According to the CDC, 90% of people who died in boating-related drownings were not wearing any kind of floatation device.

"Logistical support robot specialized in sniping. Utilizes espionage tactics through optical camouflage, and an ultra-long range shooting ability through a high-fidelity radar and sniper rifle."Mighty No. 8, Countershade, is the eighth robot in Dr. White's Mighty Number line. He is the main and only boss of the Capitol Building stage. You get the Reflect Shoot attack from him (Or Phantom Mode, if playing as Ray).
- Stage Select Description
Countershade has a massive E-2C Hawkeye dish for a hat. He has a teal cape, blue torso and cowboy boots for legs. While he is mostly blue and yellow, certain areas of his body (like his rifle, left boot, and the very bottom of his right boot) are red. He only has one arm, as he lost the other one and does not feel the need to have it replaced. He holds a throwing dart in his mouth like a cigarette. He has the number "08" written on his waist. Countershade is 193cm/6ft 4 inches tall, and weighs 273kg/602lbs.
Countershade was one of the eight Mighty Numbers who went berserk because of the virus. He took control of the Capitol Building and filled it with booby traps, intending to turn it into the capitol of his new robot nation.
If Shade is defeated, he will appear in the Radio Tower stage, shooting down robots that Aviator plans on using to set fire to an airship Beck is riding.
Along with the other Mighty Numbers, he will appear to assist Beck in the Robot Factory stage.
Countershade is a ruthlessly efficient hunter and trapper who greatly values his independence and that of other robots, promising to set all of them free when he becomes the president of his robot nation. While under the influence of the virus, he shows disdain for humans and any robots who serve them willingly, calling the people who fled the Capitol Building "meat sticks" and Beck a "little doggy" as he tries to chase him down. He speaks with a western drawl.
Countershade can hide in his surroundings. He is armed with a powerful sniper rifle. He also has weapons built in all over his body, like his leg that can reveal a machine gun.
In Mighty Gunvolt Burst, Countershade has the ability of moving through wormholes (Similar to the ones used by Merak from Azure Striker Gunvolt) allowing him to attack from every possible angle. He can make appear explosives disguised as health items, he can also make appear actual health items and will use them to recover his health if the player doesn't pick them up first. After losing half of his health, he will shoot directly to the fourth-wall, breaking the screen; this will not harm the player but will obstruct their vision.
Countershade was supposed to be a female with the theme of "radar and optical camouflage" along with "espionage and assassination." As the Mighty No. robots were designed for robot gladiator tournaments, they decided bosses where either tailored to destroy other robots or cause damage in general, with as much variation as possible. Even though Imaeda asked for No. 8 to be female, Kimo Kimo made No. 8 a cowboy anyway. Inafune felt the design was great, and thought it would be a great idea for him to lose his right arm in addition to giving him cowboy spurs. The development team worked on the colour scheme until they decided on the current one.
- Countershade seems to be based on Search Man and Dark Man 3 from the Mega Man series - specifically, SearchMan.EXE from Mega Man Battle Network. Countershade also share some traits with Gemini Man, such as being able to create clones and using projectiles that ricochets off surfaces.
- The design of his face (a pointed goatee and eyes concealed by the brim of his hat) is reminiscent of expert marksman Daisuke Jigen from the Lupin III media franchise.
- Countershade can also be based in the character Man with No Name, a antihero character portrayed by Clint Eastwood in Sergio Leone's "Dollars Trilogy" of Spaghetti Western films.
- Countershade doesn't actually "teleport" - if the player manages to attack him before he switches his position, it's revealed that he only becomes invisible. Also, it's hinted by the Variation Code: Countershade that he can also become intangible while he cloaks.
- According to KIMOKIMO, as shown on one of the t-shirt designs, Countershade can transform his rifle into a hand.
- Additionally, later shown in a drawing by him, Countershade has surveillance cameras for eyes.
- In his stage, the player can 'cheat' Countershade if they don't like a room by either going backwards or leaving his room upon entering it, forcing him to move to another room. Why he does this is unknown.
- Under rare circumstances, it's possible to cause extra damage to Countershade during the chase at the Capitol Building, allowing the player to get into the boss fight faster and skip half of the stage.

Civil Design Inc. — St. Louis
- Published: Monday, Nov. 14, 2016
As an eight-year-old, Vicki LaRose, co-founder and president of Civil Design Inc. (CDI) — a certified Women Business Enterprise and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise construction management, site development, surveying, transportation and water resources firm based in St. Louis with satellite offices in Granite City and Effingham, Illinois, and Louisville, Kentucky — wanted something different.
Not a pony. A puppy, or a kitten. Not even a dollhouse.
She wanted a calculator.
"I just begged and begged for a calculator — they were very expensive back then — and my mom and dad must have wondered, 'Why on earth would she want a calculator? She'll just end up ruining it.' I just loved pushing the buttons."
Vicki LaRose, co-founder and president of Civil Design Inc.
From an early age, LaRose, who grew up in a small town in southern Wisconsin, loved and excelled in math. Her graduating class consisted of 86 individuals, and she remembers the smartest kid in her class, also a math and science aficionado, said he was going to be an engineer. That idea pushed all the right buttons for her.
So she took an introduction to engineering class at a junior college. When asked by a professor what engineering specialty she favored, she responded, "There's different kinds? Oh great!" But she fell in love with civil engineering.
This love saw her migrate south to complete a bachelor's degree in the field from Southern Illinois University–Edwardsville then a master's from what's now Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla. But she wanted to do more than make money. She wanted to help save the world, or at least make it a better designed, more livable place. So she and her husband Dennis, also an engineer and currently the firm's quality manager, founded CDI in 1996 in part so LaRose could be a stay-at-home mom for a little one. The little ones are not so little now, at 18, 15 and 10.
"Many firms just look at projects, not what they can do for the community," she says. "I like civil engineering because it's the backbone of society. It helps everybody. Everybody uses roads and water."
This humanistic philosophy has seen CDI grow from just one employee and negligible returns to a certified Women Business Enterprise and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (both plusses working with government) firm of more than 30 employees, four branches and revenues that more than doubled from $2.2 million to nearly $4.5 million in two years. In the process, CDI and LaRose have garnered such honors as the Small Business Administration's Small Business Person of the Year, St. Louis Business of the Year and the American Council of Engineering Companies' Honor Award for Engineering Excellence.
CDI helped renovate The Muny in Forest Park in St. Louis.
If you've driven on South Broadway in Soulard, Clayton Road in Frontenac, the I-64/Highway 40 interchange or Ferguson Avenue bridge, among many other sites in Missouri, you've reaped the benefits of CDI's work ethic and expertise. When pressed for her own favorite projects, she lists two wildly dissimilar jobs: Building a small pond and building miles of drainage for the mammoth, $400 million plus Gateway Arch renovation project, expected to be complete in 2016.
What's the commonality?
"I guess my favorites are the ones where we can come in and really help people. Our client wanted a one-acre pond, but he didn't have enough money. So I said, 'How about a smaller one?' And we made a smaller pond, and kids can now fish out of it. And I'm very proud of the work we've done on the Arch grounds. That's something we've really wanted to do, to help change the face of St. Louis and maybe create a catalyst for changing the whole city.
CDI performed all civil engineering for the MU Life Science Business Incubator in Columbia, Missouri.
"When you can make a big impact on someone's life like that, you've changed people's lives."
LaRose says she couldn't have done it without the Business Development Program (BDP).
Over the years, several counselors have worked with the company: Kevin Wilson, director of the St. Louis Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC), a BDP program, helped LaRose obtain financing at a crucial time; Chris Bouchard, statewide SBTDC director, helped implement a balanced scorecard, used to analyze, track and predict performance; Aldis Jakubovskis, St. Louis SBTDC business development specialist, performed financial projections and analysis; and Luis Ortiz, also a St. Louis SBTDC business development specialist, serves on the firm's advisory board. An advisory board is a good idea for any business, not just a multistate, multimillion dollar engineering firm.
CDI widened Old State Road, Wildwood, Missouri, and connected the road to a residential subdivision.
But LaRose singles out Greg Tucker, former St. Louis SBTDC business specialist and now SBTDC associate state director, for praise.
"I cannot say enough about the impact Greg Tucker has on our business," LaRose says. "I contacted him for some advice on weekly meetings years ago and it turned into strategic planning, which we were just about to hire someone to help us with; an advisory board, very helpful in our planning sessions; and scorecards, which has been a great way for us to keep our business on track.
"Without Greg, we would have spent many dollars hiring someone to help us plan. Instead we have used those dollars to hire someone. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to give someone a job. I feel with their [the BDP] help we have a path for the future to continue our smart growth. They've stepped in at the right time and did all the right things, been a true partner. Thank you for this program! It really helped my small business succeed."
Civil Design, Inc. update
Congratulations to Vicki LaRose, co-founder and president of civil engineering firm Civil Design Inc. (CDI), St. Louis, on her firm being named a Five-Star Workplace! Read the story in St. Louis Small Business Monthly (page 28).
Vicki LaRose, Civil Design Inc.
The Small Business Monthly notes CDI's family friendly policies, workplace flexibility, trust and investment in employees.
Says one employee: "Our company leaders give us the trust and freedom to do our jobs … The result is that everyone is motivated to take ownership of our projects and client relationships, and we all focus on quality instead of task completion."

New Tools in the Ebola Arsenal
Inger K. Damon, M.D., Ph.D., Pierre E. Rollin, M.D., Mary J. Choi, M.D., M.P.H., Ray R. Arthur, Ph.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D.
… Although investigational therapeutics were not used in the previous outbreak in Equateur, some experts believe that the investigational protocol to enable use of vaccines for evaluation of protection of patients' contacts and those contacts' contacts may have facilitated engagement of affected communities. Final data on the effectiveness of the vaccination program in Equateur is not yet available. In North Kivu, the recombinant VSV-Ebola glycoprotein vaccine is currently being used under an expanded-access protocol to vaccinate patients' contacts and their contacts, to provide a ring of vaccine-elicited protection, as well as for at-risk front-line workers and health care workers. As of September 25, more than 12,029 people had been vaccinated. Understanding community concerns and attitudes about the use of investigational agents will be critical if the use of these treatments is to be integrated into response efforts…
As of September 23, investigational agents had been administered to 38 patients — MAb114 (22), remdesivir (9), and ZMapp (7). Nineteen of these patients had been discharged, 12 had died, and 7 had remained hospitalized; those who died were in advanced stages of disease when treatment was initiated.4 Criteria such as viral load (at presentation and throughout treatment) and interval between disease onset and treatment will need to be analyzed. One aspect that will be important to understand is how, or whether, these therapeutics affect clearance of virus from immune-privileged sites, such as the eye, and from seminal fluids…
