The saying "you are what you eat" isn't just a reflection of the number on the scale. It's also an indicator of what your mane (among other things) looks like, too. Why? Hair and scalp issues are linked with either a deficiency or an excess of nutrients in your diet — yes, even eating a diet solely made up of fruits and veggies can have an adverse affect. While it all goes back to the food pyramid, it can be difficult to always maintain a perfectly balanced diet — this is where BioSil can help. Our supplements have been clinically proven to increase collagen formation and skin elasticity; increase skin elasticity and bone collagen formation; reduce wrinkles; and (last but not least) thicken and strengthen hair, thanks to choline-stabilized OrthoSilicic Acid — ch-OSA. When it comes to food, balance is key, yet there are some specific foods (not singular, but when used in conjunction with one another) that can perk up your tresses the au naturale way. Ahead, 4 delectable recipes that incorporate these fiber and scalp enhancing eats.
WHAT: Salmon
WHY: Protein, Omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D are contribute to a hydrated scalp and hair shaft. Just make sure you go for the wild variety, not farm raised.
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 shallots, minced
- 3 cups halved cherry tomatoes
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced basil
- Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
- Season salmon all over with oregano, salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. When oil is shimmering but not smoking, add salmon skin-side up and cook until deeply golden, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook additional 6 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily. Transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining tablespoon olive to skillet, then stir in garlic and shallots. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until tomatoes just begin to burst. Remove from heat and squeeze over lemon juice.
- Serve salmon with tomato mixture spooned on top. Garnish each serving with basil and Parmesan, then drizzle with balsamic glaze.
WHAT: Dark Leafy Greens
WHY: Vitamins A and C serve as a catalyst for the formation of sebum, a natural conditioner for both hair and scalp.
- 1 bag of thawed and well drained chopped spinach
- 2 egg whites
- 1 whole egg
- ¼ cup diced onion
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
- Shape into patties and cook over medium high heat in a non stick skillet with a small amount of cooking spray.
- Patties are done when they are golden and firm. (About 4-6 minutes )
WHAT: Blueberries
WHY: These antioxidant-rich blue bites are rich in vitamin C, which helps promote oxygen to the scalp and folicles, thus preventing breakage.
- ¾ cup old-fashioned oats (gluten-free if necessary, but measure accordingly)
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour or millet* flour 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup, room temperature
- 1 ½ tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 6 cups blueberries
- 3 tablespoon cornstarch
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and coat an 8"-square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- To prepare the topping, whisk together the oats, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in the maple syrup and melted butter. Stir until fully incorporated.
- To prepare the filling, toss the blueberries with the cornstarch in a large bowl until completely coated.
- Transfer the filling to the prepared pan, and sprinkle evenly with the topping— just be sure to break it up in small pieces first as it tends to clump. Bake at 350°F for 45-55 minutes or until the juice is bubbling at the sides of the pan. Cool completely to room temperature; then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the juices to fully thicken.
WHAT: Sweet Potatoes
WHY: When eaten, the beta-carotene in these sweet spuds is converted into vitamin A, which in turn promotes growth and circulation of the hair folicle while preventing a dull scalp and mane.
FETA AND KALE LOADED SWEET POTATO (*Bonus point for the leafy green!)
- 2 sweet potatoes
- Seven ounce can chickpeas, drained
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 ounce feta cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- pinch chilli flakes
- 3 ½ ounces kale
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds, toasted
- 3 ounces of rocket
- Heat oven to 392F. Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then put them in a roasting tin and roast for 40 mins. Add the chickpeas to the tray, then roast for 10 mins more, until the potatoes are completely tender and the chickpeas have crisped a little.
- Meanwhile, mix the onion with the vinegar and a pinch of sugar and salt, and set aside to quick pickle. In another bowl, marinate the feta with the oil and chilli flakes.
- When the potatoes are nearly cooked, cook the kale in a pan with 1.75 ounces of water for 3 mins until wilted, then season to taste. Halve the potatoes, divide between two plates and top each with the kale, chickpeas, red onion (reserving the vinegar), marinated feta and pumpkin seeds. Toss the rocket with the reserved vinegar, then serve on the side.

Samsung is betting on it. The company just announced the Galaxy Round – "the world's first curved display smartphone".
The announcement comes just hours after pictures of the phone leaked on Tech Crunch earlier today.
According to the company the curved design allows users to access features of the phone even when the screen is turned off.
It also includes integrated "experiences like the Roll Effect, enabling users to check information such as date, time, missed call and battery easily when home screen is off", the company says.
It also uses something called "the Gravity Effect" allowing users to interact with the screen by tilting the device. Why it needs to be curved to do this, isn't clear.
Even while your music is playing in the background users can control their tracks by pressing on the left hand side of the device to play the previous song, or fast forward to the next song by pressing to the right.
The Galaxy Round features a massive 5.7 inch Super AMOLED display and weighs 154 grams, and is 7.9mm thin.
It runs on Android's 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system and boasts a 2.3GHz quad-core processor. It is available in 32GB and 64GB models.
We will keep you posted on when this masterpiece will be available on our store.

This year was a year of mergers and restructuring for the marketing industry. The agency world, in particular, saw a gamut of changes, with WPP most recently announcing that it will spend approximately US$400 million over the next three years for restructuring purposes, and will carry out a gross headcount reduction of 3,500 globally. This saw the integration of VML and Y&R, as well as Wunderman and J. Walter Thompson.
On the local front, the Malaysian media industry also underwent changes, with Astro and TV3 offering employees voluntary separation scheme and carried out manpower rationalisation exercise respectively. This was in a bid to put customers at the centre of their capabilities. With the rapid changes occurring in the industry, A+M speaks to agency leads in Malaysian on what their focus for 2019 will be.

The "science staff" of MSNBC consists of one monkey at a keyboard, drunk as usual.
The United States maintains a military presence in Japan. The Navy, in particular, has kept a ship docked at Yokosuka (about 30 miles from Tokyo) for several decades. The USS Kitty Hawk is being decommissioned and replaced with the USS George Washington, according to this article.
So, I'll start first with the really poor journalism
The demonstrators say the ship poses a threat to Tokyo because of the possibility of an accident in its nuclear reactor. They also are opposed to the increase in sailors who will be deployed to Yokosuka as a result of the ship swap, and say the carrier could make Yokosuka a target if hostilities break out between the United States and another country
WOW! All the demonstrators were interviewed en mass and in what must surely be the world's largest choral response, said the above. What a crock of crap. We can't verify that this was said at all, let alone by demonstrators, because there is no person or organization named. This is totally unverifiable.
We should not have a nuclear reactor, surrounded by ammunition and highly flammable jet fuel, located right outside of our most populated city," said Masahiko Goto, a local lawyer who has led protests against the ship.
Oh, good, some one whose existence and comments can be verified. How strange that he says nothing about 2/3rds of the reasons that the first paragraph mentions.
The Kitty Hawk was conventionally powered and the deployment of the George Washington has raised concerns among anti-nuclear groups…
The USS Kity Hawk was the last non-nuclear carrier in the US Navy. A such it wasvfueled by thousands of gallons of highly flammable fuel, complained about in the prior paragraph.
Such concerns were heightened when the U.S. Navy disclosed in early August that the USS Houston, a submarine, had leaked water containing radiation during several calls to Sasebo and Okinawa, in southern Japan, and Yokosuka between July 2006 and April 2008.
First, and this really cracks me up, do you know where it leaked? Into the tank designed to catch it in case there was a leak. Thats right. It leaked straight into the specially designated leak catcher.
What was leaked was the cooling water. This is not the water that the reactor super heats to flash into steam and turn the turbine. This is the water that flows around the condenser that turns the cool steam back into water to be superheated again. The water that leaked never even touched reactor components (1.)
So, how radioactive was this water after all? Well the leak doused a sailor, who then tested negative for any form of radioactive contamination whatsoever. Lab testing would prove the amount of radiation released was:
.000 000 5 curies. The same as a bag of lawn fertilizer. You are exposed to significantly more radiation a normal day in a brick house.
But my all time favorite in this is "leaked water containing radiation" Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, over? "Leaked water containing radiation" Um, really? I didn't know that electromagnetic energy could be stored in water. The kids on the short wagon of an Amish school have higher scientific literacy than the writers of MSNBC. There's no such thing as radiation filled water. Thats sort of like saying a truck overturned carrying a load of sound, or, Uh oh! I dropped my sack of light. Grammatically fascinating yes, but physically impossible. What I think they meant but were too stupid to say was "water containing radioactive isotopes". Ignorant, freaking cows.
Also, we are having a really hard time finding a house and have reduced time in which to do it. Bummer.

Jeans + jumper = my go-to fashion formula. For work, I will dress it up with boots and blazer, for warmer weather swap to tee and sandals. Basically, I have a comfort zone and although I love to step out of it, on those busy weekdays I use my formula for speed and ease. That's why I am always keen on the trends that work within my style parameters. The items that slot right into my current wardrobe without any fuss or need to buy extras, yet elevate the clothes I have worn for years. Recently white jeans have been this secret ingredient.
I must admit, I put off buying white jeans for a good few months. Apart from the fact that jeans are almost* the trickiest item to shop for on the high street, there were another 2 reasons I didn't want to buy them: my 2 year olds grubby little paws and the niggling doubt in my mind that I could end up looking like I'm trying to channel Liz Hurley circa 1995. Now there isn't much I can do about the first reason but there are a few KEY essentials that will avoid white jeans looking dated and deeply unflattering (no offence Liz). *Swimwear wins that trophy.
COLOUR: Stark, pure, bright white can be harsh and unflattering. Off-white, ecru or natural white is less scary, less 90's and easier to keep clean.
SHAPE: Skinnies are unforgiving at the best of times but in white you will feel practically naked. Go for a high or mid waist, a mom-style, boyfriend or, my personal favourite, a straight leg jean. A looser shape will keep the look modern and stop unsightly bunching round the knees and groin.
FABRIC: A thicker denim with less stretch will stop the pockets showing through and keep the look chic rather than trashy. Check the elastane to cotton ration, 1% – 2% elastane gives a little stretch, if you like your denim more stiff, or vintage-looking, try 100% cotton.
Our High Street Faves are all under £60 because we truly believe you don't need to spend a fortune to get decent denim:
(From left to right, top to bottom)
ASOS / Bershka / & Other Stories
I am still looking for the perfect vintage white Levi 901's but until then I have found an excellent alternative: Lindex cropped jeans (styled 3 ways below). I love the button fly and the straight shape. NB: these come up very small, size up !
Neutrals & Animal: White jeans work well with 2 current trends: neutrals (beige/camel/brown) and animal print.
Above: Jeans Lindex / Jumper & Other Stories / Boots Office / Bag Oliver Bonas
Suited & Booted: A blazer or tailored coat are lifted by swapping out regular jeans for white.
Above: Jeans Lindex / Blazer Baukjen (similar) / Boots Zara / Bag M&S (similar)
Casual denim: White jeans look great with all your weekend basics: denim jackets, tees, trainers, sweaters.
Above: Jeans Lindex / Tee Joanie / Denim jacket Beyond Retro / Trainers Vans
Cannot wait to wear white jeans with sandals, pretty blouses and basket bags in summer…

Sergio Aguero have broken a record jointly held by Wayne Rooney and Jose Antonio Reyes.
Aguero converted a penalty on Saturday after Ben Foster fouled Riyad Mahrez to make it eight goals in six matches, scoring in every game of 2019/20 so far.
Manchester City went on to devour Watford 8-0 with Bernardo Silva scoring a hat-trick.
No player has registered in each of the opening six games of a Premier League campaign before, with Wayne Rooney and Jose Antonio Reyes sharing the previous best.
Rooney scored nine in five matches for Manchester United including two hat-tricks - versus Arsenal and Bolton in 2011.
And former Arsenal hero Reyes, who tragically died in a car accident in the summer, scored a single goal past each of Everton, Middlesbrough, Blackburn, Norwich and Fulham in 2004/05.
Notably for Aguero however is the fact that neither Rooney nor Reyes won the title having started the season so impressively.

Plumbing is the worst. It's just easy enough that you can tackle it yourself but then you end up with water everywhere. Good on you for calling the plumber first.
Love the sketches and so wish I could do that but my talents apparently lie elsewhere. Just rock the short bangs like you meant to do them that way and everyone will think you're cool!

Somehow I landed at Programmer migration patterns, which to cut to the chase, says that programmers will end up in JavaScript, Rust, Java, or Go.
In the blog entry, TypeScript is mentioned, which 'kinda' a successor to JavaScript, but not really, but 'kinda' a meta-JavaScript. And by happenstance, as I 'grew up' around Turbo Pascal and Delphi (designed by Anders Hejlsberg), I found out TypeScript development is headed by the same fellow. Small world. JavaScript/TypeScript gets some strong type checking, so my own conversion from C++ may result.
In the Wikipedia entry, as a 'see also' there is a link to Dart which I came across just the other day. It is another Google construct (as in, Go is a Google construct), which appears to be a JavaScript wanna-be replacement, as it, too, compiles to JavaScript. But, I think it is less mainstream.
But Dart seems to appear in conjunction with Google Fuchsia, which wants to be an alternative MicroKernel operating system. Flutter appears to be an IDE for the development work for Android and iOS, of which Dart is included as the development language. Dr. Xu Zhongxing's speech: Fuchsia OS Introduction introduces the why's and wherefore's of the OS design thinking. It might be an interesting container management tool, which in ways, is what Chrome already is.

text: Feature Festival News By DC Music Review Staff / April 12, 2019 Let's face it, there is nothing better than a festival! But if you have not been to a festival before or want to get some inside tips from seasoned festival goers like the staff at DC Music Review, look no further than our festival guide to help you prepare and have the best time you can at festivals near and far. We are going to skip the basics like "Bring your toothbrush and plenty of comfortable clothing" and will instead concentrate on some essential tips that you may not already know about. Table of Contents Food & BeveragesFoodTipsBeveragesTipsRulesContainersLocal BeerShelterTentsCampsiteFestival GroundsClothingCold Weather ClothesWet WeatherFootwareRaincoatLightingNavigating the Festival At NightLighting inside your TentHygeneStaying Dry and Chaff FreeShower / Changing RoomNo Shower Facilities? No Problem!Health & BodyAntacidsBandagesChaffingThings You Never Thought of But Are Truly Valuable!Ear Plugs - For Music & SleepingCarabinersZip TiesSpecific Festival NotesDelFest - May - Bedford, PAResourcesWhere to Buy Food & BeveragesFoodWhat food you bring to a venue all depends on you and what camping (and glamping) equipment you are bringing to your campsite.We do have the following recommendation - goto a food shopping superstore where you can find food sold in extra large quantities. Places like Costco will save you a lot of money and provide food and snacks in "family size" that will last you any 3 and 4-night events.TipsMake sure to buy some items in "grab-and-go" packaging. Sometimes you may only have a few minutes to hit a campsite, grab some food and head back to the venue. For these occasions, you may want individually wrapped granola bars or an item that is sealed and can support an "on the go" festival lifestyle. BeveragesMake sure to stay properly hydrated during a festival. A music festival is a marathon and not a sprint! Not only should you keep drinking water, make sure to have water in reserves at your campsite.TipsDo not rely on beer to replace your water. (Even though beer contains 95%+ water, that is not a good substitute!)Afterall, nothing beats Orange Juice with some coffee when you first wake up on any given day.RulesFestivals do not allow glass into the festival grounds. This is because glass breaks and can lead to a variety of injuries both during the festival and in the months and years after the festival takes place. If you are going to bring in drinks, make sure you bring your beverages in CLOSED plastic or metal containers.ContainersThere are two types of containers you should bring to a festival:Bring an insulated water container. This will keep your hot beverages hot (think coffee in the morning) and your cold drinks cold (think of icy cold water while baking in the sun)Bring a Nalgene container. These hold 32oz, and most festivals provide water stations to refill your water container. On occasion festivals will want you to purchase their container at a nominal fee with unlimited water refills. Container MaintenanceEvery now and again we leave a beverage in our container simmering longer than it should or forget to dry out our metal or plastic container properly. Many of the bottles out there are not dishwasher safe and we found the perfect product to restore your container back to when it was brand new. After using this product we found that it easily "de-funks" our water bottle and gets rid of any build up that doesn't seem to go away. Check out more information at BottleBright. Local BeerOne of the best things you can share with a nearby neighbor is a taste of home. For many of us, we have our regional and local craft brewery. We may think that it is available far and wide, but that is the exception. What better way to share a bit of your home area than to swap a beer with your neighbor. Some of our best memories at festivals are the lunchtime beer swaps or 2 AM post-show beer-swap. ShelterTentsWe have two major recommendations about tents given our years of usage: We recommend that you purchase a tent that has ample rain protection and has rain protection that come all the way down to the ground.We also recommend against "instant up" tents. Although they are very easy to pitch a tent with relative ease, we have found that "instant up" mechanisms are prone to failure and usually last 1-2 times before something breaks. These tents also have also been known to have rain issues right at the "instant up" assembly.CampsiteIn addition to your tent, you may want to purchase a portable shelter. This shelter allows you to lounge around and most importantly seek refuge from the elements during the day.TIP: These shelters go on sale often, especially at the beginning and end of the summer. Be sure to check Dick's Sporting goods as these tents go on sale often.Festival GroundsLounging shelters are so useful. They allow you to get shelter from the sun and elements while also watching performers for hours.These shelters are not just for adults. Child size and themed shelters are available. If you happen to be bringing small children, nothing is better than your children being able to rest between running around and having a shelter where they can stay out of the sun.One manufacturer we like who makes quality lounging shelters is Sport-Brella. ClothingCold Weather ClothesNot every climate is like the Chesapeake Watershed where it is 85 degrees during the summer days and 84 degrees at night. Make sure to bring a sweater or some heavier clothing for the evening when it cools off. You should check the forecast and see what the evening temperature is. At some festival locations, daytime/nighttime weather can fluctuate 30 or more degrees.Wet WeatherThe Norwegians say "there is no bad weather, only bad clothing choices." To that end, be prepared for bad weather on the off chance that it happens. A few good clothing choices and preparation can ensure you have the ultimate time at a festival.FootwarePhish says in their song "Cavern" - "Whatever you do take care of your shoes"Nothing can be more true than this! And rule #1 about taking care of your shoes is to be prepared for prepared for rain! Being prepared is key!There are two types of boot options:Wet Weather Waterboots - Muck Boots, and Hunter Boots come to mind. These are especially useful for May and Early June festivals where rain is not uncommon.Hiking Boots - You do not have to have full on "Where is Noah and his Arc?" weather shoes. If you have a pair of hiking boots, you should bring them along.NOTE: Try to wear your boots a few days before the event to adjust your body to wearing boots. Make sure to bring band-aids for any blister points. Also, make sure your toenails are properly clipped for boots (e.g.: not too long.)Wet Weather Waterproof BootsHiking BootsRaincoatOnce again, be prepared for the elements.You can bring a:Rain Poncho - Depending on the quality this may last one to two times.Collapsable Rainproof Jacket - The only thing better than a rainproof jacket is a jacket that collapses down into a small pouch. This provides for the best experience and keeps you on the go.Rainproof jacket.If you want to travel light, many rain jackets have collapsable versions that fold into compact and easy to carry version. LightingNavigating the Festival At NightMost festivals have brightly lit performance spaces. But what happens when the show is over, and you need to get back to your camping area. While some campgrounds have a lot of evening lights, not all do, and they vary from venue to venue.These headlamps are relatively inexpensive at the low and ensure that when you decide to go back to your tent, you can with the confidence that you can navigate the terrain. Not only this, most of these headlamps easily fold down and fit into your pocket.NOTE: Yes, we do know most phones now have a "flashlight mode" but at the end of a day of festival going you may be down to very little battery. Do you really want to make the choice between your phone, your internet, and getting back to your tent?An alternative to a dedicated headlamp is a collapsible tent lamp that can also comfortably fit into your pocket.We liked the UST Brand - Spright Solar USB LED Lantern as it easily fits into your hand, your pocket and your tent.If you go to festivals only once in a great while and do not want to load up on all these individual lights and "camping gizmos," a multi-purpose option like this will keep your total costs down and your house less cluttered.Lighting inside your TentMake sure you bring a flashlight or a camping light.We liked UST Brands which are available at most camping stores. Their products came in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and purposes. Feel free to explore their products for comparison and shopping purposes. HygeneStaying Dry and Chaff FreeLet's face it... there are days that you are walking around for in the heat and chafing and sweat gets the better of you! We have used these creams that go on wet and dry into absorbent talc. Not only do we use it, we swear by it for multi-day festivals.We know you may not want people to share these sort of suggestions, but after Day 4 of a festival, you may be very very grateful that we told you about this clever stuff ahead of time.For more information please look at FreshBalls or Fresh-Breasts Shower / Changing RoomAt many of the smaller festivals (sub-2,500 guests), they may not have space or budget to allocate shower facilities. There are times where you may want to have a shower in your camp or do not want to pay the additional fees. You can purchase a small portable shower/changing room and use bottles of water, bathing wipes, or use an outdoor shower system. If you want to be a glamper, treat yourself to a solar portable shower system!Shower / Changing RoomPortable Shower System.No Shower Facilities? No Problem!There comes a time where you may have no shower resources available. There are other times where you are just covered with a little too much sweat and need a quick rinse.For these situations, we recommend bringing some bathing wipes, baby wipes, and similar toiletries. Note: Be sure to check the travel section of a drug store as these also come in travel sizes & quantities (Just in case you think you need a few days of supplies and not 100-2000 baby wipes.) Health & BodyAntacidsFestivals are great experiences and healthy food options are available. However, sometimes there are too many delicious options, especially fried and fatty foods. Not everyone can adjust to festival food, especially several days in a row. We would recommend that you bring some antacids. Many festivals will have these at their general store, however not all festivals have general stores.BandagesBandages such as Band-Aids serve multiple purposes. We all get some small cuts, but where band-aids come in most handy is to prevent or protect blisters. There is a lot of walking & dancing at a festival, and some parts of your body (especially feet and toes) can take a beating. We recommend fabric band-aids as they last longer and breath easier and dry better than their plastic counterparts.ChaffingThere are going to be those times where despite your best effort you are going to literally "party your buns (and other things off). Bringing a travel size stick of Vaseline or petroleum jelly will keep you moving and pain free. This might be the most valuable 1.75 ounces you wind up bringing to a 4 day Music Festival. Things You Never Thought of But Are Truly Valuable!Ear Plugs - For Music & SleepingNot only should you bring hearing protection when you are listening to amplified music for hours on end, but we suggest you wear comfortable earplugs to sleep in. If you plan it right, you can ear plugs that are comfortable enough to suit both purposes.Going to a festival can be a marathon, and you need your rest. There are times that you are trying to sleep while your neighbor comes back from that killer Midnight - 3 AM performance, or others decide to keep the party going later than you might want. All it takes is one person screaming "John... where are you? Dammit... I'm lost!" to wake you from your sleep! DC Music Review highly recommends Eargasm Earplugs both for listening to concerts and drowning out the noise of others. Carabiners There are times that you want to carry a water bottle, a set of keys or something else. A carabiner is a beautiful solution to quickly attach and detach items to your belt, purse loop, backpack. These are generally inexpensive and come in a variety of sizes, colors, and styles and are quite useful for shepherding your festival gear.We highly recommend this, but even more, you should also invest in a LOCKING carabiner as there are some nights where you get caught up in the festival fun and forget about an item falling out of the clipping. We know a thing or two about festivals and how you may become distracted and caught up in the moment. You can prevent that, and the loss of something like your favorite festival hat or water bottle.There are also occasions where you want to dance the night away and attach something to your lawn chair or a fence. We strive to believe that people are honest, but there are occasions where people get "sticky fingers," and a locking mechanism is just enough to deter someone from walking away with something of yours.Locking Carabiner Zip TiesZip TiesZip Ties can be invaluable as they are light, easy to adjust, and can mend so many things. We have used zip ties for so many campsite repairs in a pinch, including emergency tent repairs. Be sure to get the heavier gauge zip ties as they are more versatile and can stand up to extended rigors.

Not only do they have exceptional mead, but they make special meads just for Lockn.If you are looking for some great Australian Pot Pies, look no further than The Pie Guy out of Charlottesville, VA. They also serve up some delicious vegetarian options including one of our favorite Tofu brands, Twin Oaks Tofu.Must See PerformanceIf you have never been to Lockn, the one hidden gem is Keller Williams Grateful Gospel with John Kadlecik. You have never been to a church like this when Reverend Keller performs most of the Grateful Dead's biblically influenced and hymnal music with an organ and several gospel backup singers. This performance has been one of the most celebrated performances at Lockn, and that is why year after year Lockn keeps this Sunday tradition going!Showering FacilitiesThere are showers available on-site. In years past these generally cost $10 per shower.Worth the StopIf you are coming from the North, be sure to stop in Charlottesville, VA to pick up any and all last minute food, drinks or supplies before heading to Infinity Downs. This college town has so many options available.Before Or After The FestivalDoctor Ho's Humble Pie You may not believe us when we tell you that some of the best pizza you will ever have is located a few miles from Infinity Downs. We know what you are going to say "I'm a native New Yorker or Chicagoan... I know what the best pizza is!" We have a few New Yorkers and Chicagoans on our staff and have also wagered with others before their visit. This establishment leaves you with a grin on your face and a belly full of goodness!

This is an excellent source of NOT ONLY food & beverages. You should be able to find an ample supply of hygene products, batteries and other miscelanious items.For people who don't frequent this store too much or just stick to the "outside perimeter" is that the store contains a HUGE array of camping eqipment including sleeping bags, tents, shelters, chairs, headlamps , and so much more. These items may be sold at various times of the warmer months but may interspersed thoughout the season. Be sure to look and find some great deals on all your camping needs.Dicks Sporting Goods & REI When you really need to see a wide range of camping products all under one roof we suggest you go to an outdoor store that has 50 different boots, 40 tents, 100 sleeping bags, and more flashlight and LED accessories than you will know what to do with.NOTE: If you are planning to do more festivals, make sure to check out "End of Season Sales."

So says my friend Rick Hasen. But I'm not so sure. The Supreme Court recently agreed to hear a case from Arizona that challenges that state's public financing scheme, McComish v. Bennett. Oversimplifying slightly, Arizona's public finance scheme attempts to provide enough public money to candidates who agree to forgo private money so that they can compete against privately financed candidates and independent groups.
Arizona provides an initial lump sum payment to candidates (we'll call them the public candidates) who choose to forgo financing their campaigns with private sums. If the candidates' opponents (we'll call them the private candidates) spend more than the public candidates received in the initial lump sum payment, the public candidates are entitled to more public money to match the excess amount spent by the private candidates. Arizona also takes into account the amount of money spent by independent groups against the public candidate. The public candidate is entitled to more public money to match the combined spending of independent groups and the private candidate if the combined spending of the private candidate and the independent group exceeds the initial lump sum provided to the public candidate. Lastly, there is a cap to the amount of public money that the public candidate can receive; the public candidate cannot receive more than three times the amount of the initial lump sum. Thus, the private candidate, if they're a good fundraiser, always has the potential of out-funding the public candidate.
So who is complaining about this scheme? Private candidates who maintain that they've refrained from spending money or raising money in their campaigns because they did not want to trigger the matching funds that their public candidate opponents would receive. They argued that the availability of matching funds to their opponents puts them at a competitive disadvantage. Some of them argued that the availability of matching funds forced them to self-censor because they did not want to trigger matching funds.
Rick is a more perceptive watcher of the Court than I am. I don't know why the Court takes certain cases and except in the most obvious cases I'm often less sure how they'll decide the ones that they take. And Rick's assertion that there is no other reason for the Court to take the case other than to reverse the Ninth Circuit is facially plausible. For the reasons I lay out below however, I'm less sure of Rick's claim that this case will be the death knell for public financing. This is not an easy case for the Court to overturn. If he's right, campaign finance reform advocates are truly doomed. But here are some hurdles that the Court would have to overcome.
First, it is not clear that the plaintiffs' First Amendment rights are burdened in any way. The plaintiffs' central argument is that they will refrain from campaign spending so as not to trigger matching funds. This is not a case of the government limiting the plaintiffs' spending or punishing them for spending. Consider this scenario, suppose the State of Arizona had said to public candidates, if you opt into our public finance system, we will give you public funds to match your opponent's spending dollar for dollar. Would such a scheme be a burden on the free speech rights of the private candidates,the ones who opt-out of public financing? Is this any different from the state providing funds to a public school to compete with a private school? To have the devastating impact that Rick is predicting, the Court would have to find that the availability of public funds is itself a burden on the speech rights of a privately-funded candidate. Indeed, to the extent that there is a good argument here, the better argument is that the availability of public funds itself, as opposed to matching, is the burden. While the public candidate can focus on campaigning the private candidate has to raise money. If the Court did that, Rick would surely be right. But such a move would be truly unprecedented.
Second, even if the Court concludes that the public financing scheme burdens the plaintiffs' speech rights, the Court would have to find that the burden is substantial. Some of the plaintiffs' in this case are individuals who were successful officeholders even after triggering matching funds for their opponents. Assuming that that they did self-censor and this self-censoring constitutes a cognizable burden, the significance of this burden is not very clear. To be actionable the burden must be substantial. Even if one is charitable to the plaintiffs' claim, I cannot see how the burden is substantial. Moreover, it is quite clear that by publicly financing candidates the state satisfies directly its concern to limit corruption in campaign financing.
Third, if the Court is inclined to overturn the Court of Appeals, the most vulnerable part of Arizona's scheme is the part that grants the public candidate matching funds to counteract independent expenditures against the public candidate. I can't fathom a constitutionally cognizable justification, state interest, for granting matching funds to counteract independent expenditures. There, I think the private candidate has an equality claim. Moreover, that equality claim may be exacerbated if the state does not take into account independent expenditures in favor of the public candidate. As I understand Arizona's scheme, it is not clear that the State takes into account independent expenditures in support of the public candidate to offset the grant. If you're a private candidate you do have a basis to complain where the state is providing funds to your opponent for independent expenditures that are, by definition, outside of your control when the state does not provide you funds to counteract independent expenditures deployed against you. This comes closer to the scheme the Court struck down in Davis v. FEC.
But if the Court went down this route, it would largely leave the public financing scheme intact. The opinion would be narrow and would only communicate that the Court is serious that campaign finance regulations must hew closely to judicially-recognized legitimate state interests. I can easily see the Roberts Court taking this approach.
If the Court overcomes these hurdles and goes down the road that Rick predicts, McComish will not only signal the death-knell of public finance, it will signal the death-knell of all campaign finance reform.

Letter to the editor
When I first put my name on a ballot in 2002, I learned that politics can be a meaner profession than law enforcement. Yet even a decade in politics could not have prepared me or my family for the pack of lies and political smears my opponent is spreading in this campaign.
These attacks are that much more painful coming from someone I long considered a trusted colleague and friend. John and I have been friends for well over a decade, and shared many great times together with our families. Only this last July, John and his wife, Amy, celebrated my daughter's marriage with us. In May, our families vacationed together.
This week, John sunk so low as to exploit the passing of one of my family members in an attempt to score political points. Enough is enough. I am deeply saddened to see my old friend and colleague has decided to run a smear campaign just because he decided he wants to be a politician. I am calling upon John to end the false attacks before it is too late to restore his honor and integrity, and to regain the trust of his friends and the people of Madison County.
I kept my promise to run a positive campaign because I am certain that you – the voters of Madison County – already know who I am. For over four decades, it's been my privilege to protect the community where I got married, raised my children, and became a grandfather. But my work is not done. On March 18th, you will be faced with a choice in the Democratic Primary. My record speaks for itself, but I am once again asking for your vote for the privilege of serving as your County Sheriff.
Madison County Sheriff Bob Hertz

The Monarch tagging day at Crab Creek near Vantage originally scheduled
for August 22 may be brought forward to either August 8 or August 15.
The extreme heat experienced for much of the summer has resulted in
rapid senescence of the nectar plants that allow Monarchs to maintain
their population at the Crab Creek site.
When the migratory population of Monarchs begins emerging in early
August they may be confronted with no nectar and thus disperse rapidly
from the site. Normally, they stay at the site until early September.
I will make a decision on which date we will tag by the end of July. If
you are interested in participating please keep Aug 8 and 15 open! In
order to maximize our chances of tagging many Monarchs and to provide
some fuel for their dispersal, I would like to ask all participants to
bring some flowers with them! A Bouquet to say Bon Voyage to our Monarch
Butterflies! Buddleia is particularly attractive to Monarchs so if we
could have buckets of buddleia blooms set up in a central area, I'm sure
we could attract a good number of Monarchs at the site. Other blooms are
also attractive including Liatris, asters, sedum, golden rod etc… As
well as providing much needed nectar for the Monarchs, our blooms will
also facilitate better opportunities for photography, observation and
If you are interested in coming to the tagging day please let me know at
firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll let you know when we have a firm date.

University, Prosser, Washington 99350 USA

How to Use Your Influence to Be a Force for GoodIn this episode, I talk with Ron Klabunde, Founder and CEO of Generosity Feeds, a national non-profit organization that addresses the local needs of hungry children across America through meal creation events, about the difference between simply "doing good" and being a FORCE for good in a way that benefits both communities and businesses alike. Ron knows that at the heart of it all, each one of us has the desire to make a difference and know that what we do in the world day in and day out ultimately has a higher purpose. Whether it's through feeding the hungry or some other force-for-good mission that finds us, Ron believes everything we do should meet a human need. He tells me, "Regardless of where any one of us is in life, we all want to make a difference, we want to serve and be generous." Ron and I deep dive into how we can leverage the social impact of our business or influence to BE that force, how to unite people around shared values for a common cause, why we need to build generous deeds into the DNA of our business from the very start and many more gems of wisdom.

Car Engine Indicator Light
Seeing the indicator lights on the engine of the car that can disturb the peace of driving even makes you frustrated while driving. Despite its small size, indicator lights can be very annoying if we don't know what problem is happening. If this light is on then somewhere on the machine, there is a small or large thing happening.
The driver can go the car repair shop directly to find out what really happened. You must prepare funds and spend time before dealing with a mechanic at your trust workshop. But you can read a few of these things to check the engine indicator lights on so you don't get confused and know what to do.
Indicator Lights Are Not Always Urgent
In general, the indicator lights will turn on according to the level of urgency. The indicator light will turn yellow. This means that there has been a problem with your car's engine, but it's not heavy. But it can turn red if you ignore it. The indicator light usually shows a number of problems, one of which is the exhaust gas system. This also indicates that you have to replace a new catalytic converter. You need to know that the mechanic also takes more time to find out the problem on the machine, but if your mechanic uses technology then the problem is solved easily. In essence, the indicator light does not always indicate that your machine is dangerous, but you need to anticipate it.
Check the Gas Tank Cap
The indicator lights on can also be caused by an error in closing the fuel tank. The pressure in the tank will slowly be wasted, causing the lights to turn on. In such conditions, your car will catch it as an abnormality in the exhaust emissions system. Changes in pressure will be interpreted as a leak.
Check the Engine Room
If the engine indicator light is on, then you can open the hood and check for leaks in the cable or hose. Cable and hose damage often occurs, especially in the spark plug wires. If there are signs of cracks or other damage in the area, the spark plugs must be replaced immediately. A simple fix is to replace it with a new one.

The laws you should really know about demand planningDemand Planning
How confident are you in your demand planning knowledge? Institute of Business Forecasting and Planning says there are a few laws you should follow. First, there are a few times that your planning gets less precise - when you get more detailed and when you are closer to the demand. However, the more you know the more accurate you can be! Always remember that demand planning is a constant, never ending process and that there will always be some uncertainty.

want to delete restored files folder to free up space on HD.... maxed out 120GB.... can get back 27GB in folder.... can i do this? if so, at what risk?
Are you asking about WinXP or WinME? Regardless, all you have to do is disable System Restore, then reboot...all the restore files will be deleted.
If you have WinME, I recommend that you leave System Restore disabled. It doesn't work well & hurts system performance. If you have XP, it's up to you. Personally, I don't use it, but if you feel you need/want it, you can adjust the percentage of drive space dedicated to the restore files by using the "slider". Immediately afterwards, you should create a new restore point.
thanks, this is very helpful and i'll give it a try...
You should also try running the Disk Defragmenter if you're looking to free up space. It should get your hard drive in order and also improve access speeds. You'd be surprised how much space can be saved by running that occasionally - it takes a while though. Best to leave your computer on overnight if you haven't run it before as it can get in the way of what you're doing.
Thanks, I already do that fairly often.... Will see whether it "needs it again now", though.....
Appreciate your help.

House on Haunted Hill, 1959.
Directed by William Castle.
Starring Vincent Price, Carolyn Craig, Richard Long, Elisha Cook Jr., Carol Ohmart, Alan Marshal and Julie Mitchum.
A low-budget b-movie horror from 1959, William Castle's House on Haunted Hill stars Vincent Price as eccentric millionaire Frederick Loren, who invites five random strangers to attend a party for his fourth wife Annabelle (Carolyn Craig). Loren then offers them a proposal: to spend a night in his haunted mansion - the location of a series of brutal murders - in return for $10,000 each, payable upon their survival. Warning the guests that their host is psychotic, Annabelle soon commits suicide and the strangers begin to experience a series of macabre events with no means of escape from the terror...
Director Castle employed a unique promotional gimmick known as 'Emergo' during the film's original theatrical run, which utilised a pulley system to frighten the audience by dragging a plastic skeleton above their heads. House on Haunted Hill proved to be a huge financial success and prompted Alfred Hitchcock to develop a low-budget horror of his own, resulting in the 1960 classic Psycho, while it was also the subject of a remake in 1999 starring Geoffrey Rush and Famke Janssen.

Author Kevin Henkes surprises students at Long Ridge School
STAMFORD -- Kevin Henkes held up a photocopy of a piece of college-ruled paper Thursday morning as he sat with a class of kindergarten and first-grade students at Long Ridge School.
The paper showed a rough draft of a story, with his handwritten words inked on every other line, and scribbles, scratchouts and other edits dotting the page.
"When I was your age, I thought if someone was an artist, they painted a masterpiece every time. If someone was an author, I thought they just sat down and wrote a story," said Henkes, 50. "But even though I've been going at this a long time, I still make mistakes."
Henkes, a Caldecott Medal-winning author and illustrator who has published 42 books, stopped by the school in North Stamford to surprise students by reading two of his most recent books, drawing pictures for them and signing books.
"Every year we choose a theme for students, and this year we studied authors and illustrators," said teacher Robin Redniss.
The students have studied an assortment of authors over the course of the school year, including Henkes, Eric Carle and Tomie Depaola.
As the students devoured Henkes' books page by page, they also created their own versions of illustrations from several of his books, including black-and-white paintings to represent the black-and-white picture book "Kitten's First Moon," for which Henkes won a Caldecott in 2005.
"They were just so excited about this," Redniss said. "They've been reading his books for the last couple years, and they all identify with his characters and the themes and issues in his books."
Henkes read his newest book, "Little White Rabbit," to students.
"This book is really about imagination," he said, before flipping to the first page, where the little white rabbit imagines what it would be like to be green. He also imagines what it would be like to be as tall as a tree and as still as a rock.
A moment later, a round of giggles sounded out from the floor, where the students were sitting cross-legged or balanced on their shins. The little white rabbit was flying through the air in the picture. One student shrieked, "That's silly," as she pointed to the illustration.
"When I first drew this picture, I drew him with wings, and I was kind of like, `Well that's expected.' So instead I made his ears go really fast, and his tail too, so he could fly that way," he explained to the students.
"Imagination," he reiterated later. "It's just fun."

Manufacturers, such as JMC Equipment, often use pipe and tube bending machines to bend pipes and tubes to produce specific parts. Just like Baileigh roll bender machines, there are specific machines designed for specific purposes. Here are the most common types of tube and pipe bending machines and their characteristics as well.
Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) Benders
CNC benders are specially designed to produce various bends from tight-radius bends to elliptical bends. This kind of bender machine is a useful tool in producing complex tubular parts that typically consist of three different axels and also a servomotor-driven carriage.
Roll-Bending Machine
Roll bender is popular for its pyramid-style design that uses three rolls to bend large-radii and also a coiling application. Even the slightest motion and force will change the shape of the tube and create a bend.
Mandrel Benders
In the creation of mandrel benders, or otherwise known as rotary-draw benders, manufacturers typically insert a mandrel into a tube or a pipe during the first stage of the bending process to create the exact shape and diameter of the tube. It supports the pipe from the inside and ensures that the interior part of the pipe will not be deformed.
Ram-Style Bending
Ram-style bending is the same with pressure bending machines. The pipe or tube is in the middle of the central axis as the single hydraulic ram pushes forward to bend the pipe. According to Global Spec, the process often creates components used for carports, exhaust systems, and even gates.
Knowing the basic types of bending machines will help you get the best automotive equipment for your car. That's why it's highly advisable to choose a company that can provide only the best quality automotive products that are both affordable and can meet your standards at the same time.

Students specialising in Contemporary Art in the UvA Master's Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage are working on the conservation of paintings made by local Amsterdam sculptor André Volten (1925-2002), in the artist's former studio, the Poortgebouw of Asterdorp. The project will run up to and including January.
André Volten was one of the most successful Dutch sculptors of the second half of the twentieth century and is mainly known for his open-air sculptures, such as the famous 'knoop' ('knot') on the northern bank of the IJ. His paintings are less well-known and are very rarely found in (public) collections.
In preparation for the first exhibition of this work by the André Volten Foundation, the students will work on this project each Thursday up to and including January in the artist's former studio, the Poortgebouw of Asterdorp – a building with an intriguing history. The building was part of a complex that was built in 1927 and functioned as a special housing project for the socially poor. After being used as a Jewish ghetto in World War II, Asterdorp was abandoned. Because Volten refused to leave his home and workplace when the surrounding houses were demolished, the Poortgebouw has survived as the only remnant of a nearly forgotten era in the socio-political history of Amsterdam.
The two-year Master's programme Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage boasts nine separate specialisations, one of which is Contemporary Art. Within this specialisation, students focus on, among others, modern paints, plastics, conceptual work, or time-based arts, and learn to develop strategies to preserve intangible features such as variation, interactivity, and change. The UvA is the only Dutch university that offers a programme in which students are trained to become conservators that complies with the international standard that is required for conservators according to the European Network for Conservation and Restoration. The programme comprises four years in total, including the additional two-year advanced professional programme.

Carakale Brewery is a Jordanian microbrewery founded in 2010 in the town of Fuheis near Amman. It was founded by Jordanian and engineer, Yazan Karadsheh. Karadsheh was in Colorado, USA, a state with a fantastic brewing culture, when he decided to start Carakale. His inspiration came after sifting through a book on Beers of the World and noticed his home country did not have a single one. It also helped that he disliked his current job working in the oil industry.
After short apprenticeships at local Colorado microbreweries, he took his new skills and headed to Jordan to begin the process of building a brewery. In partnership with his father, they worked through the challenging government regulations and set to work creating Jordan's first microbrewery.
Carakale's first production beer was a blonde ale meant to serve as entry-level brew to create a craft beer culture in Jordan, where it previously didn't exist. The brewery sold its first bottle in late 2013.
In an effort to distinguish itself from the crowded microbrewery market, Carakale infuse local ingredients into their beers to create a range of beers that are unique to Jordan. The most notable is, "Dead Sea-rious", agose beer includes salt from the Dead Sea and pink grapefruit from the Jordan Valley.
The brewery is named after Caracal, a mammal that is native to Jordan.
Carakale是2010年由约旦工程师Yazan Karadsheh在安曼附近的Fuheis镇建立的。Karadsheh曾经在美国科罗拉多州待过,那是一个有着神奇的酒文化的州。他的建 立酿酒厂的想法是在看过Beers of the World这本书之后出现的,因为他注意到自 己的祖国没有这样一个事物。这也使得他愈加反感自己当时的石油行业工作。
Carakale的第一款批量生产的啤酒 是Blonde Ale,旨在用这款入门级的啤酒为约旦 开创从未有过的精酿啤酒文化。
为了在竞争激烈的啤酒作坊市场中有自己特色,Carakale在自己啤酒中注入了当地 特色的原料来打造一系列在约旦比较独特的啤酒。最值得注意的是"Dead Sea-ri- ous",这款酒加入了死海里的盐和约旦河谷的粉色葡萄柚.

AMs have backed renaming the assembly, calling it both Senedd Cymru and Welsh Parliament, in a vote on Wednesday.
A majority of AMs rejected the Welsh-only name Senedd and backed former first-minister Carwyn Jones' proposals for a bilingual name.
But proposals to call AMs Members of Senedd Cymru or Member of Welsh Parliament were both rejected – the latter by a knife edge.
A total of 43 AMs backed Mr Jones' plan, versus 13 against.
Members of the assembly rejected a vote calling for the name to be purely Senedd, backed by Plaid Cymru and some Labour members, 16 for, 38 against, and one abstention.
The assembly is debating the Senedd and Elections bill, which also makes changes to how the assembly is elected and who can stand for it.
The votes are not the final stage in the matter, but are a major part of the process to decide what the final name will be.
Former first minister Carwyn Jones's proposal for a bilingual name had sparked debate – supporters of the name Senedd have included BBC News presenter Huw Edwards.
The debate opened on Wednesday with Rhun ap Iorwerth of Plaid Cymru, who was backed by Labour's Hefin David and Mike Hedges in wanting to call the assembly simply Senedd.
The name is already used for the building in Cardiff Bay that houses the assembly chamber.
Mr ap Iorwerth said Senedd is a "word that is of Wales, a word rooted in the Welsh language, a word that is bilingual in its application".
He said it "belongs to us all".
Mr Jones, Labour AM for Bridgend, had been supported by the Welsh Government.
He said he himself would use the term Senedd, but his amendments made it clearer in law that Senedd Cymru is Welsh Parliament.
"There can be no argument about the terminology." Mr Jones said.
He said it was "true to say Senedd is becoming more apparent among the public". But it was not the case yet that "everyone understands that Senedd means parliament".
The original bill stated that Senedd would be the name but that it could also be known as Welsh Parliament – ministers had been worried that this would be confusing.
The former first minister was backed by David Melding, Conservative AM for South Wales Central.
He said a bilingual name would celebrate "the magnificent world we live in, in the English speaking world and Welsh speaking world – that combination makes Wales an exceptional place".
Mr Jones had proposed that members be called Members of Senedd Cymru, while Blaenau Gwent Labour AM Alun Davies had backed Members of Welsh Parliament.
Both were rejected. Mr Jones' amendment for the new title failed to pass 25 votes for, 26 against, with four abstentions.
It means that, as things stand, AMs will be renamed Member of the Senedd as per the bill's original proposal.

New Year, New You: First Gen Tips for Success
Originally Published in
January 4, 2016
Here's to all high school graduates—and those of you who graduated already, joining the ranks of our thousands of alumni! Graduating high school marks an opportunity for a fresh start. Below are a few ideas to help you put your best foot forward:
- Decide what to change: Do you need to be more organized? Are there roadblocks getting in your way? Before we can make a change, we must first determine where change is needed.
- Reflect on last year: Think about what worked for you last year and what didn't. Keep what worked; change what didn't.
- Overcome roadblocks: We all hit obstacles. Whether your current roadblock is learning a subject that is hard for you or a difficult life circumstance, talk to someone such as your Academic Coach to come up with strategies to push past obstacles to achieve your goals.
- Make a routine: Routine is key for online students. Look at your responsibilities, including work and family obligations. Make a schedule, writing in when you will do your schoolwork. If it is on your calendar, you are more likely to actually do it.
- Get organized: Organize your work area by having a folder for your notes, divided by lesson. Have pens, pencils, and paper near your computer. Having an organized workstation can help you manage your time better and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
- Stay positive: Give yourself a pat on the back for accomplishments, no matter how small they are. Feel good about passing a test, completing a course, or reaching the 50% mark in earning your diploma. Always say, "I can do this"—you can, and you will.
