Alta Gracia.
Esta es una de las tantas Estancias (Reducciones) Jesuiticas de la Provincia de Cordoba (Arg). Concretamente es la de Alta Gracia. En esta ciudad vivio su exilio el gran Manuel de Falla. Conoci su casa que era de arquitectura colonial espanola con unos mosaicos magnificos que daban vuelta a todo el edificio. Alli murio, lejos de su tierra, en el ano 1946. Un abrazo y gracias por verla. Os deseo una Feliz Navidad a todos.
Birhen ng Dakilang Grasya...---tama ba ang TAGALOG translation ko?(Mahirap na kasing mabansagang trying hard---ang pangit pakinggan...Ialo na kung may mga maseselang articulate tayong kasama sa flickr...)
anyway, this is one of my favorites at Intramuros...Kanino ba itong poon na ito?I must say, ang ganda ng birhen mo! two thumbs up! Kasing ganda ng dating mukha na gamit mo as alta gracia...

CARMEX # 1 Pharmacist Recommended Lip Balm 10 Years Running
Alfred Woelbing began experimenting with creating his own line of lip balm and other cosmetic products in the early 1930s. These were the beginnings of Carma Laboratories, Inc. After experimenting with his products and trying to find the perfect one, Alfred Woelbing created Carmex on his family's stove top. He began by selling the product from the trunk of his car. Popularity increased through word-of-mouth. During this time Alfred and his wife poured their famed Carmex lip balm into the now well know yellow-capped jars. Then in 1957, the family business moved out of the kitchen and into a rented facility in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. After doing business like this, in 1972 Alfred discontinued making sales calls, which had mostly been in Wisconsin, Illinois and parts of Indiana. Alfred's son Don joined the business in 1973 and introduced assembly lines to Carma Labs. In 1975, due to much success, a new production facility was built in Franklin, Wisconsin where production continues today. Carma Labs began producing squeezable tubes in 1988, followed closey by a stick version of the product. Only five years after these expansions within the company's production, in 1993 it was estimated that 9% of the lip balm market was held by Carma Labs. Alfred Woelbing continued to drive to the offices everyday until 1997 when he suffered a stroke. He continued to come into the office at least once a week after this, until he passed on in 2001 at the age of 100. The company only continued to expand under the management of his son Don and his grandsons Paul and Eric

Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me: An Eye-Opening Guide to Brand-Name Cosmetics
A product-by-product guide to cosmetics and beauty supplies offers detailed ratings of more than 150 cosmetics lines, with tips on buying and using makeup, miracle ingredients, and what products work, what don't, and what are bad for you. Original. 40,000 first printing. Tour. IP.
Women spend an extraordinary amount of money on cosmetics--$45 billion a year in the U.S. alone. Now in its fourth edition, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me strikes fear in cosmetics-counter consultants everywhere. First off, Begoun has deconstructed ingredient lists. Ever wonder what methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben are doing in your mascara? And what is diazolidinyl urea? All four are potential irritants, and the latter is a preservative that can release formaldehyde, a class A carcinogen. Buyer beware.
Begoun also lists which companies are cruelty-free and which continue to conduct animal testing. The majority of the book--and that's nearly 800 pages--is devoted to reviews of thousands of cosmetics, from cleansers, foundations, alpha-hydroxy acids, and moisturizers to lip liners, eye shadows, and concealers, all of which Begoun has personally tested. (There are no hair care products listed, as that warrants another book entirely: Don't Go Shopping for Hair Care Products Without Me.)
She's perfectly frank and tells it like it is. (On Revlon's ColorStay Makeup: "goes far beyond the claim of 'It won't come off on him.' It won't come off when you want it to.") You'll learn how to tell when you're being boondoggled by a salesperson, what's overpriced and overhyped, as well as what's overlooked. More than 200 brands are included, along with a helpful summary at the end that lists the best products for each cosmetic category. It should be noted that not only is Begoun a fine consumer advocate, she's also a self-esteem advocate: she mentions time and again that even the best cosmetics won't necessarily improve your life, and that's a point well taken.
casting bus
Took this shot of a bus I saw drive past as I stood on a corner waiting to cross. Had to act quick and the result isn't that good but I like the way the grumpy_looking driver glanced over at me. It was one those buses decked-out in a brand name for make-up or some perfume chainstore or other. Also used for casting for an advertising campaign. I thought the whole thing was tremendously tacky and ugly.

Day 81: Hi, my name is Natalie and I'm a makeup junkie...I can't help myself, especially if makeup is on sale, I will buy it. This particular brand came in a huge plastic tray with these little pots of eye shadow...it was 75% at a CVS after Christmas sale...had to have it...and, as luck would have it, it gave me the idea for today's photo :)

Kerneels demonstrates cat-eye eyeliner
I think I'll call this latest batch of pictures "In and around the house" (although this is not my house) or something. I photographed almost everything from the kitchen to the pets. Unfortunately I have to wait for the next month to upload the rest, but here is a little "preview" :-)
The following few pictures are from a "photo shoot" with King Kerneels, the house cat. He is a stuburn one and will barely ever sit still for a picture or open his eyes wide enough for you to capture its beauty. But waving around and crunching some dry leaves did the thing! Oh, and look at his eyes. It is a perfect demonstration of how to correctly make use of the cat eye in makeup ;-)
yellow party makeup
I did this look for a party I was going to. I was just in the mood for yellow.
I also took the picture on the wrong lighting setting, but I kind of liked how it turned out. I did touch it up a bit, though, just to enhance what was there.

scary picture lol!!
I need to show ppl my new hair style!
I was hair model at a show and I told the stylist "yeah okay you can cut my hair just don't make me look like my mom"
It was soo scary, I had my hair cut in front of 100 people and I couldn't see myself, I was trying to read their faces, and I was seeing hair flying all around the room I got one of those hair stylists that are so creative they cut your hair with a knife (she did, literaly) and with a razor and with scissors and now I have no more hair but this is so cute!!
As a girl I feel the pressure to long flowing hair and always there was a side of me that would watch old movies or french film and wonder if I would look that fabulous with short hair? But as a girl who maybe wants too much to be beautiful according to today's standards- I never let myself go short because Audrey Hepburn, Audrey Tatou or that 50's french girl were so inspring and quirky with short hair. But I want to give up all those superficial feelings and be fun like my hair!
Plus I am totally my french icon. Or Joan of ark. Tres chic!
I keep going to flip my hair (that hand flip thing that ditzy girly girls do) and just get air haha!!

Our bathroom is fun for two
Rachel was looking cute and getting dressed in the bathroom. I appeared with a fiftymil and two glasses of pinot noir. Apparently this was just the right ticket to be allowed to stay. Thanks baby ;-)
Surprisingly the bathroom turned out to be a faffing cool place to shoot. There's a bunch of ceiling lights, wall lights, and a brazillion polished white surfaces. Basically, light bouncing all over the show. Its got me thinking about experimenting with some strobist action in there - maybe with the bath too. But apparently this might take more than a glass of red. Moet...?
So the fitfymil is my hero. Besides I'm too fracking Mr Parkinson to hold the 80-200. Or maybe I'm low on caffeine, or maybe its just sleep, or maybe I'm just useless. *sigh*
(could never hit anything paint balling either... its possibly interconnected, but i digress)
Might settle for stealing a 85mm f1.8
Nikkor 50mm I D90 I Twin roof lights, Side light, Mirror light, bright white wall light, with a bit of shiney bath/toilet reflected light for fill I PP Lightroom FTW.
what i really want is an actual vanity table. but this will do for now i suppose. i use my grandmother's vintage sewing table as a table, and a hand-me-down chair from bryan's dad. the mirror is lighted. don't know how i ever lived without that til a year ago.

i'm not sure if you have to be tagged to do the "What's In My Bag" or what, but this is all i have time to photograph today; i work at 515 and it is currently 426, and i still need to eat something and put some food together.
but this is what's in my purse. i will probably re-shoot this at a later date, just so it looks cleaner and everything is straighter; this was very rushed.
i'll do something more creative and interesting tomorrow.

How To Do Scene Hair And Makeup
101 Dalmatians
DESCRIPTION: Unleashing every ounce of Disney magic, 101 Dalmatians thrilled audiences of all ages with fast-paced adventure and comedy featuring a brilliant performance by five-time Academy Award® nominee Glenn Close as Cruella De Vil. Achieving new heights of hilarity, Disney s all-time classic puppy tale came to life as a worldwide box office sensation. In their small London flat, Dalmatians Pongo and Perdy, and their human pets Roger and Anita, are overjoyed by the arrival of 15 puppies. But when the spotted-fur-loving Ms. De Vil and her clumsy cohorts, Jasper and Horace, dognap the litter along with every other Dalmatian pup in London Pongo and Perdy must rally the town s animals to their rescue. The plan hurls them towards a thrilling climax filled with uproarious moments as the puppies attempt to outwit their captors and bring on a final showdown with Cruella!
Packed with the largest and cutest collection of puppies ever brought to film, 101 Dalmatians also features a superb cast of talented humans, including Jeff Daniels, Joely Richardson and Joan Plowright. Now you can bring home Disney s live-action comedy hit, praised by critics as nothing short of phenomenal!
It's hard to know who thought it would be a good idea to make a live-action version of Disney's animated classic. The one bright notion anyone had was casting Glenn Close as Disney uber-villainess Cruella de Vil; her flashing eyes and angular features are a perfect match and do credit to what is one of the most indelible animated characters Disney has ever created. The story remains essentially the same, focusing on Cruella's plot to kidnap the puppies of a young married couple (Jeff Daniels and Jolie Richardson) and make them into a coat. But the dreaded John Hughes, who wrote this script, fills it with sadistic slapstick and far too few genuine laughs. The human actors work hard, but to little avail; thankfully, there's a passel of puppies to regularly steal scenes when the going gets dreary--although there are only so many laughs to be had from inappropriate dog puddles. --Marshall Fine

here it is.
i know it's time to spill my mind, but before i begin i just want to tell you a bit about this photo.
i woke up at 5am this morning. it was dark and cold and groggy but i managed to drag myself up despite how hard it was. my parents and i had already planned this a couple days back when we visited the same beach. we wanted to catch the sunrise, actually. my dad told me that that location was the best for catching sunrises, since there was nothing in the way, and it was facing in the right direction. we were hoping to see all these beautiful colours and watch the sun come out from behind the water. we wanted something magnificent and beautiful and spectacular and that's what i wanted to capture as well. so we left home and we drove a while down to this beach, and much to my surprise there were already so many people out and about the streets. there was only one person at the beach when we arrived. but by the time we walked to it he/she disappeared so we were left alone in the dark (and dim light) on the beach. we set up our stuff and got ready to take some photographs.
but we knew right away that this beautiful, breathtaking scene we planned on getting wasn't going to happen.
the wind was picking up so quickly, and it was freezing cold. i could even walk properly because the wind was so strong. i could tell the 'the end' sign i cut out earlier wasn't going to show, and might even be blown away or break in the violent wind. then we looked up. there were clouds everywhere. and it looked like it was going to rain. the most important part of the sky was covered by clouds and there was little to no chance of seeing any actual colour.
of course i was devestated! what was going to happen now? everything i planned was going down the drain and all my backup plans became more and more un-doable. it was a nightmare.
but then i realized. it doesn't have to be. i had been putting way too much pressure on myself for the last day. yes, it's the last day and you want to end it with a bang, it's true. but i almost lost myself by wanting to make such a big bang that when the circumstances weren't right for the photo it turned into a nightmare. i realized that this was just like any other day i had before this. the day i bought props but didn't end up using them. the time i went outside and got covered by unexpected snow or rain. every single time i walked out that door without having any previous ideas in mind and just creating something that came from within. i had actually done that most days of my 365 without realizing. i could do it. and i needed to do that.
so i did.
there is just something so beautiful about the unplanned and unexpected. i've learned that through my 365. no matter how much you want everything to be the opposite - planned and laid out and thought out - it will never happen. that's just life and how life goes. i can say that for almost all my photos ive taken in the past year, not many photos have been completely planned and thought out. i remember in some instances where i tried to do so, and it just turned into a complete mess. or there was always some kind of factor that forced you to move on and change it up no matter how much you didnt want to.
it didnt only happen in my photographs. my project really outlined my life in the past year as well. what i experienced through this project was nothing like i've ever felt before in my entire life. i know it was change for sure. change in many different ways and forms. i used to be really uptight about having to know everything and what was going to happen next and what was going to happen after that. you could say i was a lucky kid. growing up i didnt have many falls or bumps. i experienced joy and contentment more than anything. so i used to be scared of the future and scared of failure when i didnt know what was coming my way. scared of anything dark and gloomy and depressing and angry... scared of anything bad. throughout my project i came to meet a lot of the bad in life. the first few times were definitely hard, but as it went on i acknowledged it. i accepted it. later i even embraced it. i failed to do a lot of things this past year. i fell and bruised and broke and cracked and got destroyed many many times. but this is what we need to grow. you see, there is no life without bad. without bad, we wouldn't feel the good.
i guess you can see it in some photos my encounters with 'the bad'. i used to not want to upload because my photo was 'bad', or i didnt have the best day ever. but eventually at many points i stopped myself. this project was about documenting my life as well, and i wanted to keep it as real as possible. i used to have a lot of aesthetically pleasing photos that may have been so intriguing and beautiful and breathtaking in many, many ways. i always just thought that having a nice photo was the only thing that mattered. i was completely wrong. when i look back at some of those photos, i can't help but feel
Day 285 - It's Coming...Soon
April 18, 2008.
The big 3-0 is coming soon. Only 3 weeks away.
It's not so much that I worry about getting older. That's not really such a big a deal to me. It's that I hate not being progressed as far along as I thought I'd be by now.
And as much I hate being a cliche statistic, this rapidly-approaching milestone is sending me—as it does many—into a disparaging state of disillusionment.
So many things that are unresolved. It's like reading a long, engaging novel and then closing it forever and burning the book without reading the final chapter. It is throwing into sharp focus all of the things that don't fit in with my ideal image of leaving my twenties.
Things I have not yet accomplished. Things I may have missed out on for good. Things I can still do, but will now require far more effort, luck, whatever than they would have 5 years ago (in some cases, little short of divine intervention). Things about me that should have been resolved (or evolved) by now.
1 - I am not doing what I always dreamed of doing to make a full-time living.
Yeah, I know...I'm the first one in history to ever feel like this. But the more I stay in my day job to cover the bills, the tougher it's going to be to make a transition. Illustration is what I went to school for—it's what I planned on doing. But out of necessity I became a designer, with the plan of getting a little security, a little nest-egg, and than making the transition.
There was a glimmer of hope for me when I got those first two children's books in the last nine months...but after a series of rejection letters from agents, combined with a non-response to my requested manuscript, combined with a studio deal that fell through, combined with no place to produce work, combined with the fact that my only "wins" and "opportunities" seem to be dependent on a "go-nowhere" town that I lament living in a little more each day...well, "hope" is now becoming a lot like gasoline to me—something I obviously need, but can barely afford to have.
Sure, people love art...as long as it's free. Amazingly enough, talent earns a lot of high praise and compliments, lots of respect and adoration, right up to the point where people are amazed that I actually want to be—*gasp*—paid for my hours and hours and hours of work. "You actually want to be paid? You actually want to make a living at this? Sorry, Mr. Litwin—even though I'm a wealthy, business-owning mogul who already makes more in a month than you do in a year and will certainly collect a profit from your work, I just can't afford to pay you what I know you're worth. My mistake—I thought you were willing to donate your creative talent, hours of work, and years of expensive collegiate training for free."
2 - I am beginning to wonder if I'll ever leave Greenville.
It wasn't like we really planned to stay here...it just sort of happened. After college, my job search extended everywhere from Altanta, GA to San Jose, CA. But the first job that I finally was offered (and desperately needed) was at ECU here in Greenville. I continued my job search even through my new employment, but I never found anything any farther away than Kinston, NC. A job that—I'm sorry to say—I took and suffered through for 14 months before finding a better job at......you guessed it.....ECU.....in Greenville.
Apparently Greenville is the only place in the United States that accepts me...which I find a little depressing. Please don't misunderstand—Greenville is not a horrible place. I just don't find it to offer a whole lot of opportunity, and certainly not the adventure I now thirst for. Most of the town is owned by a half-dozen people who seem to be largely uninterested in facilitating any growth that doesn't score an immediate profit in their pocket or get their name put on the side of a building. The only things here that seem to be growing here are the University, the Hospital, and Major Franchises. So, if you don't have a lot of money or connections, there is an enormous ceiling here, featuring the same kind of indestructible glass that they make airplane windows out of.
I always imagined providing my wife and children with a life that was full of adventure, new experiences, and beautiful places. I'm sure this can be attributed in part to growing up at the beach. But now I feel like I have anchored everyone connected to me to a warm, comfortable, risk-free rut. Every so often, I get that excited felling where I say to myself "Hey! This is America! Do whatever the hell you want! Move the family to a new town! Start your own business! If you want to get out of the rut, just DO it!" But then I remember the "realities"...Bills. Debts. No Extra Money. Children's Needs. Close Proximity to Extended Family. And then the prospect of changing our lives become a bit more...complicated.And all my dreams just feel like they go right down the toilet.

Applied Techniques...
So I decided to take an older shot I had of the Tower of Americas downtown in San Antonio and apply the same Quadtone technique I did to my SP today. I also made 2 background copy layers and changed one to overlay & lowered opacity, then the other to hard light and lowered opacity.
I love the results :) See below for the original shot!
TOTW extra :D

I'm not sure if anyone has come up with this technique for building square-lattice walls, but here's what I came up with while I was building the diorama.

People--friends, family members, work colleagues, salespeople--lie to us all the time. Daily, hourly, constantly. None of us is immune, and all of us are victims. According to studies by several different researchers, most of us encounter nearly 200 lies a day.
Now there's something we can do about it. Liespotting links three disciplines--facial recognition training, interrogation training, and a comprehensive survey of research in the field--into a specialized body of information developed specifically to help business leaders detect deception and get the information they need to successfully conduct their most important interactions and transactions.
Some of the nation's leading business executives have learned to use these methods to root out lies in high stakes situations. Liespotting for the first time brings years of knowledge--previously found only in the intelligence community, police training academies, and universities--into the corporate boardroom, the manager's meeting, the job interview, the legal proceeding, and the deal negotiation.
Learn communication secrets previously known only to a handful of scientists, interrogators and intelligence specialists.
Liespotting reveals what's hiding in plain sight in every business meeting, job interview and negotiation:
• The single most dangerous facial expression to watch out for in business & personal relationships
• 10 questions that get people to tell you anything
• A simple 5-step method for spotting and stopping the lies told in nearly every high-stakes business negotiation and interview
• Dozens of postures and facial expressions that should instantly put you on Red Alert for deception
• The telltale phrases and verbal responses that separate truthful stories from deceitful ones
• How to create a circle of advisers who will guarantee your success

A Lesson in Forgiveness
Ginny figured being a 21st century woman, stuck in the past, playing other people's lives would be fun. It turns out, it's just work. Her new persona, Bethany, is a society daughter whose only purpose is to make an excellent marriage, while playing by a long list of rules. When her parents bring her to a house party so she can meet eligible bachelors, Bethany has her hands full. Will she choose the staunch earl, who has no wish to marry yet? Or will it be the future duke who has a reputation with the ladies? Or the kind, country doctor instead? Even Ginny can't figure out who she is supposed to "fall in love with." All she knows is that she needs to marry someone if she ever hopes to return to own body, in her own time.
One valuable lesson learned today: a paper shredder is just as therapeutic as a bubble bath when it comes to a good mental release. What you see here are the shreds of my past - all the things I want to let go of before the new year. Destroying them was meaningful. Rolling around in them was just plain fun :)
What else? Well, having just spent a week on the set of One Tree Hill as an extra, I did pick up a couple of makeup tricks that I put to use here. Amazing that at 29 I'm still learning how to wear makeup... Oh - and as a side note, I'd like to throw it out there that this was shot not in an expensive, high end commercial studio... but in my bedroom.
Wait, there's more!

Makeup Brand List - Make Up In Eyes.
Makeup Brand List
33.365. Invidia, Envy.
I've been looking forward to doing this set for many months now, but wanted to finalize the details first. Now - I have begun.
This is the set of the "Deadly Sins" and how they personally are evident in my own life. I'm trying to make this as honest as I possibly can - and really show you the dark places in my soul.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Deadly Sins, they are as follows:
Avaritia - Greed
Invidia - Envy
Socordia - Sloth
Ira - Wrath
Superbia - Pride
Luxuria - Lust
Gula - Gluttony
Also included in one of the original lists of Deadly Sins was Tristitia - Despair.
The first sin that I plan to cover is "Invidia" or "Envy". I had to think for a long time about all the different ways envy influences me. Polyamory can definitely make me envious. Anytime my lover is with another woman, it is easy to feel envious. There have been many moments when I've thought to myself, "Why does she get to sleep/dance/talk/etc. with him right now and I don't?" But I find that over the last few months, that particular form of envy has been fading significantly.
What is always with me is "body insecurity". Even though I like to think that I'm much healthier now than I EVER have been in the past, I still know that I have poor self-esteem from time to time, and it influences my behavior. Sometimes I'll want to eat something and I'll keep myself from eating it because I'm afraid of getting fat. Or I'll look at a girl at tango and just be sick with envy of her legs and perfect stiletto feet and gorgeous hair.
So, my portrayal of envy is envying the superior beauty of others. Of being influenced by the portrayal of beauty in the media and allowing it to warp my own body image. Of feeling the need for makeup/a certain style/dieting to feel beautiful. I think this is very wrong, but I don't think it's entirely the fault of the girls involved. Our media is purposely marketing an ideal of beauty to today's youth that is almost guaranteed to make some people feel bad about themselves. Beauty products and fashion magazines are there to help convince women that they are not good enough AS THEY ARE. That they're not beautiful unless they are 90 pounds, can fit in a size 00, wear a certain brand of mascara, and never leave home without their lipstick.
Ladies, we're all beautiful just the way we are. Whether we're blond or brunette, skinny or curvy, tall or short. Let's stop envying others (especially magazine models) for what they supposedly have that we don't. They aren't reality and WE are.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. :)

One of the complaints from the Fall 2009 event was the no one could remember the next day what they'd tested, what they'd liked, what they didn't like, etc. So I made up a full list of all the brands, products and colors we offered for Spring, plus a numbered rating chart, so that each attendee could go home with a comprehensive list of what exactly they'd tested and liked.

The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) contributes to the systemic manifestations of sepsis.
To determine whether nitric oxide (NO) can exert negative feedback regulation on iNOS gene expression.
Molecular biology research laboratory of the department of surgery.
Study Design:
Isolated rat hepatocytes were cultured with a cytokine mix consisting of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 1β, and interferon γ in the presence or absence of the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-d,l-penicillamine.
Main Outcome Measures:
Nitrite and nitrate (NO2− and NO3−) levels were assayed. Hepatocyte iNOS messenger RNA and protein levels were assessed. Electromobility shift assays were performed for NF-κB DNA binding activity. Finally, iNOS enzyme activity was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography.
Cytokine mix–induced hepatocyte iNOS mRNA and protein production and the addition of the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-d,l-penicillamine markedly attenuated iNOS mRNA and protein levels. Gel shift assays of the nuclear extracts disclosed that decreased cytokine mix–induced DNA binding activity for NF-κB in a concentration-dependent manner. Finally, NO failed to significantly inhibit iNOS enzyme activity.
These data indicate that NO down-regulates iNOS gene transcription, and that the effect is mediated in part by inhibiting NF-κB activity. These results identify a novel negative feedback mechanism whereby NO down-regulates iNOS gene expression, possibly to limit overproduction during the septic response.Arch Surg. 1997;132:1177-1183

COLUMBUS, Ga. – Back in October, Columbus Police responded to an alarm at a home on Hilton Avenue. Police Chief Ricky Boren said that the scene resembled a burglary and that there could still be someone in the house.
Chief Boren said the officers followed the correct protocol going through the house. While in the house, shots were fired at Officer Joshua McQuien.
"It all happens in a split second," McQuien said. "One minute, everything is good. The next second, it changes."
McQuien was hit in the shoulder area, but the fact that the body armor McQuien had on was worn properly prevented the bullet from going inside him. He said he notified the officer who was with him that he was shot, along with dispatch.
"Then after that moment, honestly all I could think about were my kids," McQuien said. "That's the first thought that came to my mind."
Thursday, Point Blank Enterprises, the company who outfits the department with body armor provided McQuien with a new vest. The vests are mandatory for officers, and they are given a new one every five years regardless of its condition. The vest is designed to protect against 9 mm pistol bullets and 357 magnum pistol bullets. The vest comes with a trauma plate that helps mitigate the trauma from a higher caliber bullet.
"I have taken a vest much like this and shot it over 60 times with a pistol- stops every round," Will Marshall of Point Blank Enterprises said. "They will take a lot of pounding. They are very much over engineered."
McQuien said he has been very appreciative of all of the community support during the ordeal. McQuien is a man of faith and believed that God had his hands on him that October day.
During the presentation, McQuien thought of a Bible passage that carries a lot of weight for him each day. He talked about Deuteronomy where Moses gives his power to Joshua, and Joshua takes command over the Israelites. Before they crossed over the Jordan before going into the promised land, God told them they had to fight the armies in the land. God made them another promise that he will always be with them.
"When we put on this vest, this badge, this gun, this equipment, we go out into a fight against evil in this world," McQuien said. "I believe if we have faith in God, and believe in him, he's gonna be with us. He won't leave us. He won't forsake us, and he'll protect us."
Soon, McQuien will be able to visit Point Blank Enterprises' factory in Pompano Beach, Fl. During that time, he will be able to tour the factory and meet those who manufacture the vests. He will also be able to meet and greet with other officers who have survived shootings while wearing the vests.

The taxation of cryptocurrencies still worries most individuals and businesses. Many of the advisory companies such as tax consultants are often overwhelmed with the matter. That's why, together with our partners, we have developed a general questionnaire, hoping to bring as much clarity as possible into the matter.
The fiscal issues in connection with cryptocurrencies are still largely unresolved. As a consequence, both the tax office and also the fiscal court may depart from the tax treatment described herein. The authors do not represent or warrant in any way whatsoever that the contents made available are accurate, complete, or up-to date. Before starting an activity, a taxable person should always seek advice from a tax advisor or attorney at law.
In Germany there are no explicit legal provisions governing the taxation of cryptocurrencies. In fact, the general tax regulations apply, although, due to the novelty of the assets concerned, their application is not always unproblematic. While some questions have already been consistently answered in practice, e.g. the classification of the private trade in cryptocurrencies as private disposal transactions, there are still various areas and new technologies that remain unresolved or controversial under tax law.
Recently, the Federal Ministry of Finance published its views on individual taxation issues for the first time by letter of 02/27/2018, which is binding upon the tax offices in Germany. However, the letter only addresses VAT. The Hamburg ministry of finance also dealt with the topic and published its opinion on the fiscal treatment of income from Bitcoin trading within the private capital sector on 12/11/2017; but this opinion is only binding upon Hamburg's tax offices. Other administrative instructions or fiscal court decisions are not yet available.
Given this still uncertain legal situation and the various investment options, which may lead to different fiscal treatments, it is recommended to seek advice from a tax advisor or attorney-at-law in each specific case. WINHELLER's experts will be pleased to assist you. Das Bundesfinanzministerium hat sich jetzt erstmals mit Schreiben vom 27.02.2018 zu einzelnen Fragen der Besteuerung geäußert, das die Finanzämter in Deutschland bindet. Dieses Schreiben betrifft jedoch nur die Umsatzsteuer. Auch das Finanzministerium Hamburg hat sich mit der Thematik befasst und am 11.12.2017 eine Stellungnahme zur ertragsteuerlichen Behandlung des Handels mit Bitcoins in der privaten Vermögenssphäre veröffentlicht, das jedoch nur die Finanzämter in Hamburg bindet. Weitere Verwaltungsanweisungen oder gar finanzgerichtliche Entscheidungen existieren noch nicht.
Wegen dieser nach wie vor unsicheren Rechtslage und der unterschiedlichen Investitionsmöglichkeiten, die auch zu einer unterschiedlichen steuerlichen Behandlung führen können, sollte für den konkreten Einzelfall ein Steuerberater oder Rechtsanwalt konsultiert werden. Gern stehen Ihnen die Experten von WINHELLER zur Verfügung.
In Austria, there are neither statutory provisions on the taxation of cryptocurrencies nor relevant decisions of the Federal Tax Court or the Supreme Administrative Court. This results from the novelty of the phenomenon of cryptocurrencies and leads to a certain legal uncertainty. Note should be taken of the published information of the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) of 25 July 2017 on the tax treatment of cryptocurrencies. The legal views taken therein do not bind the taxpayer and, moreover, it does not cover all relevant issues. In the following, some general statements shall be made on cryptocurrencies; anyone active in this field should, in any case, consult with their tax adviser or lawyer.
From a taxation point of view, cryptocurrencies are qualified as securities. However, there could be some differences in taxation i.e. in some categories in connection with hybrid tokens and in complex cryptocurrencies that cannot be qualified. With this qualification as securities, the value of the cryptocurrencies is subject to asset tax.
From a VAT perspective, deliveries and other services paid in dash or other cryptocurrencies, have to be treated in the same way as deliveries and other services paid in legal tender (e.g. euros). For VAT purposes, the assessment basis for a delivery or other service of the above kind is determined based on the value of the cryptocurrency received.
From an income tax perspective, the sale of goods/proposal of services for cryptocurrencies is a barter transaction.
Supplies or other services, the remuneration of which consists in Dash or other cryptocurrencies, shall be treated in the same way as supplies or other services the payment of which consists in legal means of payment (e.g. EUR). The taxable basis of such a supply or other service for the purpose of value added tax is determined by the value of the cryptocurrency received. Also for income tax purposes, it does not matter whether a dealer/service provider receives legal tender (e.g. EUR) or cryptocurrencies; in both cases, there is a (corporate) income tax liability.
Dash would basically be qualified as FIAT. The merchant has to include the income generated in Dash in the accounting system and value in FIAT (usually in CHF). In the result, there is in fact no difference in taxation for the merchant between receiving Dash or FIAT.
In case of purchases or sales of cryptocurrencies by a private individual, Section 22 No. 2 and Section 23 (1) No. 2 of the German Income Tax Act (Einkommensteuergesetz; "EStG") will be applicable. The transaction is considered to be a private disposal of "other assets". Pursuant to Section 23 (3) 1st sentence of the German Income Tax Act, the gain or loss is defined as the difference between the selling price, on the one hand, and the acquisition costs and income-related expenses, on the other hand. Hence, the initial cost simply needs to be deducted from the selling price. This means that the fees for trading on the exchanges are deductible. Section 23 (3) 5th sentence of the German Income Tax Act additionally provides for a tax exemption limit of 600 € up to which all private disposal transactions within the assessment period are tax-free. If this limit is exceeded, however, the full amount, from the first euro, will be subject to taxation. In this case, income tax will not only arise when cryptocurrencies are exchanged into euros or other foreign currency, but even when they are exchanged into other cryptocurrencies or when they are used for buying products or services. If the time period between the purchase and sale is more than one year (or ten years in the case set out in Section 23 (1) No. 2 4th sentence of the Income Tax Act), then the holding period defined in Section 23 (1) No. 2 1st sentence of the Income Tax Act applies. In such cases, the full gain on disposal will be exempt from taxation.
Generally, the so-called FIFO method set out in Section 23 (1) No. 2 3rd sentence of the Income Tax Act is applied both to determine the acquisition costs and the gain on disposal and to verify adherence to the holding period. Although the law does not require the above referenced first in, first-out method for cryptocurrencies, its application has become common practice. However, other opinions have also been voiced and it has been proposed that the calculation should be based on the LIFO method or – as concerns the determination of the acquisition costs – on average values.
In the event that cryptocurrencies are traded on a commercial basis (e.g. by providing a website for exchanging cryptocurrencies), the income from the trade business is subject to taxation pursuant to Section 15 of the Income Tax Act. Especially the holding period does not apply in this context. In addition to the income tax, trade tax will have to be paid in this case. However Section 11 (1) 3rd sentence No.1 of the German Trade Tax Act (Gewerbesteuergesetz; "GewStG") provides for a tax allowance in the amount of 24,500.00 euros. In addition, the dealer will have to deal with issues concerning the VAT taxation applying to his activity.
In the view of the Federal Ministry of Finance, capital gains of cryptocurrencies are taxable as income from speculative transactions within the meaning of § 31 EStG (progressive tax rate of up to 55%). The prerequisite for this is that the period between acquisition and disposal is not more than one year (thus a tax exemption would apply, if the one-year waiting period is observed). Losses realized within the one-year period can be offset against speculative gains. For the entire income under § 31 EStG there is an exemption limit of EUR 440/year. According to the Federal Ministry of Finance, special rules apply in cases of "interest-bearing investments". Cryptocurrencies held as a business asset are always taxable regardless of compliance with the one-year period, namely at the progressive tax rate of up to 55%.
The taxation of the capital gains or losses depends on whether the traded cryptocurrencies are held as private or business assets. In case a ltd or a LLC is trading with cryptocurrencies, such assets are always part of the business assets. Therefore, capital gains are taxed and capital losses are deductible. The trading activities must be booked in the accounting of the company. Private persons that are trading with privately held cryptocurrencies are not taxed on capital gains (tax free private capital gains). The value of the cryptocurrencies however is subject to asset taxes and has to be declared in the yearly tax return. The questions become more complex in case the private person is qualified as professional securities dealer. This is the case if the person trades the cryptocurrencies intensely and if these activities are more like a job of this person. In this respect, the number of trades, the total change of the portfolio etc. are taken into consideration. In case the person qualifies as professional securities dealer, the capital gains are subject to tax and also subject to social security contributions. It is suggested that cryptotraders collect as much tax-relevant information as possible as per the end of the tax period.
This question, too, is still unresolved in Germany. In many cases, income from dash proposals results from a commercial activity and is hence subject to income tax or corporate income tax if a legal entity is concerned. Under VAT law, however, the question arises whether – given the absence of an identifiable recipient – a service that may be subject to VAT has actually been provided. As this question still remains unresolved, the tax office should be consulted in such cases.
Again, there is no view of the Federal Ministry of Finance on this issue; if a profit is generated (i.e., not if for example the expenditures are equal to the revenues), income from an active trade or business within the meaning of § 23 EStG will generally be earned. As with mining, there should be no taxability under value added tax law, for lack of an identifiable recipient of the services. As mentioned, there are no written statements by the Federal Ministry of Finance on this.
Assuming that there is profit generated with Dash Proposals, this would be subject to income taxes or profit taxes (similar to masternodes income). However, there is no clear taxation practice yet.
In the case of income from masternodes too, a distinction will have to be drawn between a private activity and a commercial activity. The threshold of a commercial activity is easily exceeded, which means that income, as defined in Section 15 (1) of the Income Tax Act, might be taxable. How income from a private activity will be taxed still remains unresolved. By analogy with private mining, it might be argued that such income is not taxable. A taxation as "other income" is, however, also conceivable.
The tax treatment of the 1,000 dash required as a condition for being recognized as a masternode operator also remains unresolved. Following the general principles, in case of a commercial activity, the dash would constitute business assets even if they have been previously purchased as part of private asset management. The contribution of private assets to business assets for the purpose of starting an activity as a masternode operator does not constitute a taxable disposal of dash. The dash will, in principle, have to be recognized at the current value at the time the contribution was made. However, if the dash have been acquired or manufactured within the last three years before their contribution, they will have to be recognized at a value not exceeding the acquisition or manufacturing costs. Any increases in value that may have occurred in the meantime would be assigned to the business assets. Prior to starting an activity as a masternode operator, the origin and use of the 1,000 dash should be discussed with a tax advisor or attorney at law.
In the event that, upon termination of the activity, the dash are retransferred to the private assets, the transfer will be considered as a withdrawal from business assets, which will be treated in the same way as a sale of business assets and can hence result in commercial profits. The holding period for the dash, set out in Section 23 of the Income Tax Act, will only start again after the withdrawal.
The Federal Ministry of Finance has not commented on this question in the information mentioned above; however, it can be assumed that the tax authorities – as in the case of mining – would assume income from an active trade or business within the meaning of § 23 EStG. Consequently, the 1,000 DASH held as collateral would be taxable business assets; capital gains generated from these would always be subject to income tax. It seems more correct to take into account the nature and extent of the activities of the taxpayer and to assume income from an active trade or business only exceptionally. As with mining, there should be no taxability under value added tax law, for lack of an identifiable recipient of the services. As mentioned, there are no written statements by the Federal Ministry of Finance on this.
According to the tax rules as per the current date, income from masternodes are taxed in the same way as interest income. Therefore, such income qualifies as taxable income (private persons) or as profit (companies). In case such income is generated as a professional private person, it would be subject to taxation and social security contribution. The value of the collaterals in Dash is subject to asset taxes. There is no clear taxation practice with respect to masternode income yet.
As regards the taxation of mining, it is necessary to define whether the mining is performed on a private or on a commercial basis. In a reply to a parliamentary question, the federal government has expressed the view that income from private mining may constitute "other income" as defined in Section 22 No. 3 of the German Income Tax Act. It is not clear, however, whether this answer only referred to the transaction fees received or also included the block reward. It has also been argued that private mining is not subject to taxation at all as no service is being provided.
Concerning any possibly newly created coins, a taxation of a subsequent sale of said coins as a private disposal transaction can be ruled out, because the creation of new coins does not involve a purchase. However mining easily exceeds the threshold of a commercial activity, defined as a sustainable independent activity performed for the purpose of making a profit. In such case, the coins mined would initially be recognized at cost, generally consisting of the pro rata power and hardware costs. In case of a subsequent sale, the difference would be the taxable profit.
According to the above referenced letter from the Federal Ministry of Finance, neither the block reward nor the transaction fees actually constitute a remuneration for a service provided by an entrepreneur. This also means that input tax pursuant to Section 15 (2) No.1 of the Sales Tax Act (e.g. on hardware purchased) cannot be deducted.
According to the Federal Ministry of Finance, mining always leads to income from an active trade or business within the meaning of § 23 EStG (progressive tax rate of up to 55%); value added tax does, however, not fall due. In contrast to this view of the Federal Ministry of Finance it should, however, also be possible to carry out mining activities outside of an active trade or business. This would be the case if the activity of the taxpayer does not significantly exceed the nature and extent normally associated with the management of one's own wealth. Consequently, in this case, the cryptocurrencies acquired through mining would be non-business assets for tax purposes. Pursuant to the view of the Federal Ministry of Finance, mining is not subject to value added tax.
Mining qualifies as professional activity and the profit is subject to taxation. Individual persons that are in the mining business have to declare the profit in the yearly tax return. Such profits are also subject to social security contributions. Ltds and LLCs have to book the mining profits in the accounting.

On the subject of taste: In France women sometimes push two pieces of chocolate (solid chocolate, not candy chocolate) into their "Fragrant Lotus Flowers", pushing one of them deeply, the other one within the reach of a tongue, and then the licking and fingering delight starts. I do not know if sugar is healthy for a vagina; chocolate itself probably is, because in the past chocolate fat was used as contraceptive vehicle.

The kids are back in school, the summer heat is starting to fade (just a little!) and fall is here. You know what that means, Mom. It's time to start having the annual convince-your-kid-to-wear-a-jacket-to-school fight!
Don't worry, we found a style solution essential to fall fashion… layer 'em up instead!
Layers For Girls
Dressing your girl in layers can be fun for both of you! There are so many stylish options to play with. With fall clothes for girls, the ideas are endless!
If she wears a uniform to school, open-front sweaters, like cardigans, are a must! Cardigans are the perfect style to keep her warm in class. They go with everything, including dresses, skirts, and pants. Stock up on neutral colors like black, white, and navy, that go with any fall outfit.
Basic long sleeve tees are also a great style. She can wear them under her uniform on chillier fall days, or layer them under sweaters for all her weekend adventures. Make sure to get her a couple of short sleeve layering tees, too! These are perfect to wear under graphic pullovers and hoodies, especially on those early fall days, when it's like Antarctica in the morning, and the Sahara in the afternoon.
And when the time comes to really wear a jacket, make sure to get her one she'll want to put on. Try an oh-so-cool bomber jacket that features a trendy print or eye-catching graphics, and she can't go wrong with a classic denim jacket. If she's looking for a super cozy style, a solid faux fur jacket in her favorite color is the perfect solution—wearing it feels like being wrapped in a blanket!
Layering The Boys
Like the girls, getting boys long sleeve tees is a great way to layer on his fall fashion style. He can wear these tees with his school uniform, or layer them underneath his favorite sweater. They're also a style staple, and can always be worn with jeans, joggers, or sweatpants!
Graphic pullovers and hooded tops are an essential for fall fashion. He'll love the fun design, and you'll love knowing that he's warm and comfortable. He'll also get a lot of use out of them, so you'll know the money was well-spent. When winter rolls around, these shirts are great to wear on their own, too.
Remember, outerwear doesn't have to mean a puffy jacket. Make sure to get him some stylish picks, so he won't fight you about wearing them. In kids' fall clothes, denim jackets are essential. They can be styled with anything, and he won't feel like he's wearing a coat. Don't forget to try our trail jackets. They're super warm, and come in a trendy marled finish with a few different color options.
A vest is the best of both worlds! It has all the benefits of keeping him warm, but it moves with him, thanks to the sleeveless silhouette. Try dressing him in a warm vest with his favorite long sleeve graphic tee!
Let's Get Layering
Now that you know the basics, it's time to bring on the layers and get your kids fall fashion ready! Remember to get some staple styles, like black and white tees, and the more sweaters, the better. Don't forget to bring your kid along for their input!
Happy Fall, Mom & Dad!

"Turkey's problems remain longer-term however," Alastair Wilson, Moody's managing director of Global Sovereign Risk, told Reuters, pointing to the country's policymaking drives and the economy's sensitivities to global interest rate shifts. Moody's said on July 18 it was putting Turkey's credit rating on review for a possible downgrade to junk status. Both Fitch and Moody's rate Turkey at the lowest investment grade.

Amidst the vacuous uncertainty and fogginess of the transfer window and questions why Man City aren't taken to task for tapping up, facts and figures released this week provide a good counterpoint.
STATS have done their best in analysing actual goal chances and saves against expected ones from last season. The Daily Telegraph runs an article saying Petr Cech's late season excellence saved Arsenal from an even worse points total. In terms of actual saves made minus expected saves, Arsenal had the highest figure in the league with +11, which essentially means that without above-average goalkeeping displays they would have conceded 11 more goals.
STATS analysis shows that Arsenal gave up the same number of chances after switching to 3-4-3 for the last eight games of the season – and it was only Cech's improved form in this period which lead to the improvement. Of course this could be down to a clearer view of the shots having potentially one less body to block his view.
In a study into Premier League injuries by insurance broker and risk consultant JLT Specialty, Arsenal were third worst on the list, suffering 51 injuries (the same as Man Utd) at a total cost of £16.26m. At least there is a yardstick by which to judge new fitness coach Darren Burgess's salary.
Knee injuries accounted for £50m of the £177m total, with an average length of absence of 70 days. Back injuries resulted in an average lay-off of 44 days. There were 713 injuries in total across the 524 matches.
Arsenal will come top of the most-travelled Premier League club in the close season, covering 24,040 miles, beating Man U by 5000 miles. Not a crown for carbon conscious Gooners to rejoice about, but for an organisation sponsored by the Emirates….
Meanwhile a survey in the Scottish Dail Mail shows Mezut Ozil king of the Premier League players' social media league having the most followers on both Facebook (31.7 million) and Twitter (16.2 million). It reports that he beat Arsenal across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by 2.6m ( perhaps worth a chunk of his reported £280,000 contract offer). Arsenal are the third in the tripartite club social media league behind Man U and Chelsea.

The five peaks of Nayin Mountain stand together, hence it also called five-finger peak of Mei peak. It is 1,297 meters above sea level. You can see Meizhou and Chaozhou clearly on the top when it is a clear day.
The ancient temple-Lingguang Temple is one of the four famous temples in Guangdong province. The temple rested upon the mountain, with an area of 6,000 square meters. There are "three attractions" in the temple. The first attraction is "a living cypress and a dead cypress". Two cypresses which are 1,100 years old stand in front of the temple, one has been dead for 300 years but it is not rotten and stands upright with the other branchy one shoulder by shoulder. The second attraction is pineapple-shaped roof. The roof of the main hall was made into a helical sunk panel by over 1,000 rectangular timbers and the roof has a function like a ventilator (only two buildings have this functions and the other is Temple of Heaven in Beijing ). The third attraction is that there are lush growths of trees at the back of the main hall but there are no fallen leaves on the roof. It is still a mystery.

Needle-like Metal Found in Candy
I remember years ago when children would go trick-or-treating, you'd hear a lot about parents checking the candy before allowing the children to eat it. Such warnings are not as prevalent anymore, but they're obviously needed as reports have emerged of needles being found in Halloween candy.
According to ABC 33/40, reports have been made in Pennsylvania and Minnesota of needle-like objects found in Halloween candy. Even more scary is that the candy bars were wrapped in original paper. Authorities have confiscated the candy and packaging for examination, and warnings were issued for parents to check all candy given to their children as well as any they bought to give to trick-or-treaters if there was any left behind.
Luckily, no injuries as a result of tampered candy have been reported.

A network of women driving changes in primary education
Posted: Fri, Mar 8, 2019 7:36 PM
Today is International Women's Day and it seems fitting to share with you the exciting changes Lingotot are introducing to primary education - made possible by the fiercely passionate and capable women working throughout the UK and Ireland, to encourage the next generation of learners to embrace and enjoy languages.
This week, the news has been filled with responses to the BBC report highlighting a steep decline in the number of UK teenagers learning a language. This follows the government's 2004 decision to reverse the "Languages For All" policy, in which students within the UK were required to take a language at GCSE.
Angela Sterling, a qualified foreign languages teacher, became increasingly worried about the declining numbers and, based on her experience within schools and extensive research on early language acquisition, she developed a languages programme for children aged 0-11. She launched Lingotot in 2010, coinciding with the government's attempt to reverse declining numbers by making language learning compulsory in English primary schools.
Following the release of the BBC report, Angela said: "If the government is serious about reversing this decline through engaging children at a younger age - which language professionals fully endorse - it is essential that there is an obvious pathway for progression."
At Lingotot, not only are we keen to harness a love of languages within primary pupils, but we are very much focussed on high-quality provision, mapped to the EYFS and British Curriculum, with excellent progression pathways into secondary school. With that in mind, we have created the UK's ONLY MFL qualifications for primary school pupils, which are accredited by NCFE and benchmarked at Entry Level (one step below GCSE!).
In addition to this, we are aware of the shortage of MFL teachers and so created two recognised primary languages qualifications (the Certificate in Teaching Early Years Languages and the Diploma in Teaching Primary Languages, both accredited by NCFE). This has allowed us to hire experienced linguists and train them to deliver high-quality early years and primary languages.
Angela continues: "Having official qualifications at primary level will help secondary schools to ensure progression continues from the outset which will go a long way to fulfilling the government's pledge to make MFL a priority."
Kate Thorne, Owner of Lingotot Southend On Sea, commented: "The theme of this year's International Women's Day is "Balance For Better" and it really strikes a chord with me. I am a linguist and a teacher but I am also a mother and stepmother and after the birth of my second daughter, I found it difficult to obtain a good work/life balance. It was stressful.
"Lingotot is led by an inspirational female franchisor and we have a network of genuine and supportive women who are collectively working to improve the delivery of languages in primary education while building sustainable businesses that work around our busy lives.
"For me, it feels empowering to know that I can have it both - I can be the hands-on mum, AND I can have a career that I love. I am delivering a multi-award winning programme and inspiring young children to love languages AND I'm able to do the school run and go to playgroups. I am still working hard to build up my business but it is an incredible feeling to know that with the support of my husband, I can do both. I have balance and life is better."
Angela continues: "The vast majority of our network are mothers who are looking for balance. They are skilled professionals and they want to use that experience to do something rewarding but they also have families and commitments and want to enjoy precious downtime with their children - so balance is at the very heart of our business."
We are very proud to have built a network of fantastic, passionate women who are collectively trying to support schools and nurseries in delivering a high quality, multi-award winning, languages programme and inspiring the next generation of learners to enjoy languages.

Why is Cindy Chandler pitching HughesNet?
As a rabid fan of the great sci-fi series Lost—my fiancée got me the six-season boxset for Chrismukkah—I still often think about that great finale. After the Smoke Monster wreaked havoc on the Temple, what became of the dwellers who sided with Smokey? Did they move on to a better place? Flash back (or forward?) to the other night, and I was flipping through my thousand DirecTV channels when I stumbled upon the commercial below for the HughesNet—a satellite-based high-speed Internet service. Innovative, I thought. The pitchlady seemed oddly familiar. Then it dawned on me who she was—former Oceanic 815 flight attendant Cindy Chandler, who, last we saw, had sided with everybody's favorite black column of smoke (who was in the form of John Locke). Given that HughesNet deals with satellites, the Internet and former Oceanic employees, this can only be an elaborate conspiracy to get HughesNet customers to go to the island. I guess there is life after Lost—at least for some.
