Michael Carrick insists he is not thinking about a reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo following suggestions the Portugal great is keen on a return to Manchester United.
Ronaldo, Madrid's record goalscorer, only signed a new five-year-deal last November, but is reportedly seeking to leave the Spanish capital following accusations he defrauded Spanish tax authorities out of €14.7million – a claim he strenuously denies.
The 32-year-old is reported to view a return to United as his favoured option if he does depart the Santiago Bernabeu, with Ronaldo winning three Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two League Cups and the Champions League during a six-year stay at Old Trafford between 2003 and 2009.
Carrick was a team-mate of Ronaldo's during that spell, but the midfielder is keen to wait and see how the scenario pans out.
"I haven't really given it too much thought to be honest with you," Carrick told Sky Sports.
"Listen, you don't need me to say, everyone knows what type of a player he is and how good he is and what a career he's had.
"It's not for me to get involved in whether he comes to Manchester United, whether he leaves Madrid or not, that's not my business at this moment in time.
"Of course, I was lucky enough to play with him. It was just a joy to work so close to him and see how he plays.
"We will see how it pans out over the next few weeks and months."

A Skywalker Ranch staffer created "The Empire Strikes Bike," a Star Wars-themed, heavily modded classic cruiser bike with loads of Star Wars tchochkes affixed to it in funny and delightful ways:
Literally created in a residential garage, the frame, wheels, and crank were acquired directly from an official Skywalker Ranch staff bike. From there it was a matter of accessorizing the bare-bones frame and wheels with pieces found on eBay to give it an Empire spin: fenders, chain guard and skirt guards came from various 1940s cruisers, including a J.C. Higgins Colorflow and Monark cruiser; the springer forks were pulled from a 1960s Sears Spaceliner; the tank combined a '60s Roadmaster body with a Hasbro AT-AT head rigged to "fire" its reciprocating chin guns with lights and sound; Master Replicas FX lightsabers were gutted and re-worked to become the headlight (Luke's) and taillight (Vader's) with lights and sound activated by switches on the lightsaber handgrips; the luggage rack was a modified 1982 Kenner Rebel Transport toy, now with swing-back rear to stow gear; a Hasbro Titanium Series Slave I worked nicely as a fender ornament; finally, the chrome Vader handlebar topper was lopped off a giant PEZ dispenser, having the added bonus of built-in light-up eyes, music and dialog from the films. Chrome tail, leather streamers, and torpedo pedals were added for flai

Date Started: January 21, 2012
Date Finished:
Pattern Used: Butterick B3072 & Simplicity 4923
Material: bleached muslin, brocade satin, corduroy
January 20, 2012 – It's about time!
I will finally be starting this costume for my husband. This was planned for last year's Costume Ball, but was postponed, as the event temporarily became a women and children event. This year, the event has been pushed back to March 24th, giving me ample time to create this for my husband, and hopefully creating a new gown for myself. Tomorrow morning, I will be up bright and early, so I can start tracing the pattern pieces that I'm going to need. I will be making a few modifications. I will be making the breeches with a front flap, and I will be making a jabot for this. The colors I will be using will be black and silver. I have picked black corduroy, black and silver brocade satin, and bleached muslin for the shirt and jabot. So, here's goes nothing!
January 24, 2012 – Let the mocking begin!
I spent this past weekend tracking out the pattern. After I got the entire pattern traced and cut out, I decided that I will be switching up the pants. The pants in the pattern Butterick B3072 are basic pants that call for elastic. I have no intentions of using elastic. My thought was to modify the pattern to make the pants drop front. Then, I got lazy. lol. I decided that I am going to use the pants from Simplicity 4923. This pants are very close to be historically accurate. So, I traced and cut out those pants.
Today, I came home from work and dug through my totes to find some fabric to start the mock up process. I decided that I had enough of a black and white checkered fabric to use . I spent about an hour on cutting and sewing, all the while chatting on the phone to Angie, and making my poor husband drop trow and try them on for fit. I traced a large, and they were baggy in the legs, so far. I didn't make it to putting the waist band on, I'll get to that tomorrow night. Once the waist band is on, I'll be able to tell if I need to truly down size to the medium, or just go ahead and cut the large and take it in. So, we shall see tomorrow evening.
February 13, 2012 – Progress. Finally!
After last week's sneek attack illness, I was finally able to make it down to the sewing room. After finding the cutting table and my newly set up sewing station under the rubble of reorganization, I was able to get the mock up of the frock coat done. I used a length of dark yellow cotton for this mock.
This is a pattern that is currently still available from Butterick, but when I pulled the tissue paper from the pouch, I knew that this was the original pattern I purchased back in 1998 or so. And, I knew this because of the way the tissue paper was folded. lol. Back then, they folded the tissue paper the way Simplicity does, unlike the unruly mess they are today. Anywho! 😉
I got the mock up fabric cut and sewn in no time at all, especailly since I was just testing the basic pattern pieces: coat front, coat back, upper sleeve and lower sleeve. So far, this pattern is going together fairly easy. I like the over all look. I'm not entirely happy with the way the seam sits at the shoulders, but that is a quick fix.
This evening I will be washing and drying the bleached muslin for the shirt, and cutting the fabric for the breeches and frock coat. As I have vacation this week, starting Wednesday, I will be working to get this costume finished, so I can start on mine.
Oh! I did forget to report on the mock up for the breeches. The large in the Simplicity 4923 was too big. I did end up cutting a medium and making a mock up in a pale yellow. This size fit much better. The only adjustments I will have to make is to shorten the legs by about an inch, and to add an inch to each side at the top. Other than that, they fit beautifully!
February 20th, 2012 – All but done!
I had a very productive 5 day weekend. lol. It was one of those situations of use vacation time or lose it. So, I took Wednesday through Friday off last week and put it to good use. Well, mostly. 😉 I was able to get the shirt done on Thrusday, the rest of the garments cut out on Friday, and the breeches sewn between running to pick up the girls from school and making dinner. And the rest finished on Saturday, before dinner time.
The shirt was fairly easy, as most shirts are. I used bleached muslin for it, one of my favorites. I got it washed and dried on Wednesday, then ironed, cut and sewn on Thrusday. It came together easily, and has a nice clean look. I did work carefully, so I could skip the hand sewing on cuffs and collar. I make sure to match up the ironed-under edges, and top stitched about 1/8″ in from the edge, making sure to catch both sides with the needle. I am down to just buttons and button holes. I'll be able to finish it once I pick out a set of buttons that I like and will look period correct. I like this shirt, and may make at least one more for him. I will most likely make him a one or two from Simplicity 4923, as well, especially after seeing how the one PJ made her hubby turned out.
Since I did the mock ups of the breeches and frock coat, I knew exactly how they were going to go together. I used a fine, black corduroy for these. Once they were sewn together, they both had a nice, clean look to them. Exactly what I wanted. The breeches just need buttons and button holes. Again, just need to find the buttons I want to use. The frock coat just needs a bit of hand sewing on the cuffes and collar to seal them, and then the buttons and button holes. Once again, just need to find the buttons. I may still take just a bit of the back seams in at the waist line, and that is just to give a more fitted look. For the waistcoat I used the silver and black brocade satin I purchased for this project, last year. lol. I used basic black broadcloth for the lining and the back of the waistcoat. As far as I'm concerned, you only need to use the expensive fabric for the front. It cuts your costs, and it's period correct. lol. The only complaint about the waistcoat is that it's a little too baggy. I will be going back and altering the center back in a manner that is period correct. I will document this when I do it, add it here, and probably do a regular blog post about it. Otherwise, the waistcoat is down to just (you guessed it) buttons and button holes. Need to find the right buttons, or get the ones that you can cover, and use the scraps to cover them. The only thing I haven't tackled for this costume is the tricorn. I need to pick up the 22 gauge millenry wire needed for it, then I'll start on it.
February 27, 2012 – Just about finished!
On Friday, I finally picked out all the buttons needed for this costume. However, I spent most of the weekend working on my underpinnings. I did get the jabot down to just the closures, all the hand sewing finished, the buttons and button holes in the frock coat done, and the button holes on the waistcoat done. I still need to sew the buttons on the waistcoat, and do the buttons and button holes on the breeches and shirt. Just about finished! I will be trying to get this finished up this week during the evenings. Well, as best as I can, since we have a couple of after school performances this week. lol. Hopefully, the next update will be photos of the finished costume on the husband. 😉
March 14, 2012 – Down to the hat!
I finished up the husband's costume Monday evening. I did the final button holes, got all the buttons sewn on, and the hook & eyes on the jabot done. Since the husband worked late last night, I tormented him this evening to get and made him dress up. It was the perfect evening for it, since we have some extra daylight. lol. I really enjoyed using this pattern. I have further plans to make more garments with this pattern. As we have plan to go to Colonial Williamsburg (someday, hopefully soon), I would like for him to have another outfit or two a little less formal.
I still have the hat to make, but I will be sneaking that in when I can.

I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, because my first thought when I saw this sunset in Betty's Bay was not of its beauty. I immediately pondered at the common belief that polluted heavens make for a picturesque sunset. Am I just bearing witness to the never-ending war between nature and the gases from aerosol cans and those damned taxis? No. Even though I am seeing light deflected by molecules in the air, these are primarily oxygen and nitrogen. Overly dirtied air would have made as drab a sunset as perfectly clean air. I am still observing the full glory of South African skies, and how uplifting that realisation is.

The bylaws can be found here: https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-con...tober-2018.pdf
1) The lottery is a drawing among 14 teams. This is explicitly stated in the NBA constitution.There shall be a drawing among the fourteen
(14) Teams that do not participate in the Playoffs in the
preceding Season (the Lottery Teams) to determine the
first four (4) selections. Such drawing shall be made on the
basis of each participating Team being assigned the
following odds
Team 1: 14.0%
Team 2: 14.0%
Team 3: 14.0%
Team 4: 12.5%
Team 5: 10.5%
Team 6: 9.0%
Team 7: 7.5%
Team 8: 6.0%
Team 9: 4.5%
Team 10: 3.0%
Team 11: 2.0%
Team 12: 1.5%
Team 13: 1.0%
Team 14: 0.5%
The Commissioner shall determine the appropriate
procedure for breaking ties;
(ii) The remaining Teams that did not qualify to
participate in the Playoffs in the preceding Season shall
then select, in inverse order of their consolidated standings
at the end of the preceding Season; and
(iii) The Teams that participate in the Playoffs shall
then select, in inverse order of their consolidated standings
at the end of the preceding Season. The foregoing shall
afford each Team one selection.
2) Those lottery teams are non-playoff teams. While there are technically 30 if the season is canceled, the only provision is for 14 lottery teams.
3) Odds are given for lottery teams to move into the top 4. Again, only 14. Odds are determined by reverse order of the standings at the end of the season. This is AGAIN explicit in the constitution.
4) Section (ii) says that the remaining teams after the 4 selected not in the playoffs select in reverse order of the standings at the end of the season. That covers all teams in the event of a lack of playoffs.
But most importantly is this:
Any rules and regulations they adopt MUST BE CONSISTENT with what is written in the constitution. They are not permitted to change it without changing the constitution.7.05. Additional Rules Concerning Draft. The Board of
Governors shall, from time to time, be free to adopt such additional
rules and regulations regarding the annual Draft as it shall determine.
Such rules and regulations shall not be inconsistent with the

Game Preview: Hitmen At Hurricanes March. 9
It's down to just three.
The Hitmen roll into Lethbridge Saturday night to wrap up the season series and weekend against the Hurricanes.
They will be looking for a big bounce back after Friday night saw a six-game win streak come to an end for the Hitmen with a 5-1 loss to the Edmonton Oil Kings, falling six points out of first in the Central Division. Mark Kastelic scored his league-leading 24th goal on the power play for the lone goal, while Jack McNaughton ended with 27 saves. Both Kastelic and Malm extended their respective point streaks, to remain tied for the team lead in points with 76.
Hitmen vs Oil Kings March. 9
With playoffs right around the corner, a lot is still to be decided in terms of who the Hitmen will face in the first round with Lethbridge being a possible opponent. So far in the season series, the Hurricanes lead the series 4-1 with the two teams combining for 48 goals in five games. Kastelic (5G, 4A) is Calgary's top scorer with nine points against the 'Canes while Kaden Elder (4G, 2A) and Jake Kryski (1G, 5A) both have six.
Lethbridge head into the matchup riding a five-game win streak and an 8-2 record in their last ten to keep pace with Edmonton for the battle for top spot in the division. Their 254 goals scored are second in the WHL, but the Hitmen are right there with 249 that is good for third. Following the tilt Saturday they will face off against two teams battling for their playoff lives in Red Deer and Medicine Hat.
The Hitmen have done it all year of bouncing back after an unfavourable game, they'll look to do it again as they try to fight for home ice advantage in the post-season.
"Everyone is ready to roll and we need to set the tone right when the puck drops," Mark Kastelic said. "There's a good chance we can face them and we just need to worry about our game and what we can control.
"It's going to be big game."
The regular season will wrap up next weekend with a home-and-home set against Edmonton, with the final home game before playoffs on Sunday March. 17.
Hitmen Streaks
Mark Kastelic (4G, 5A) is on a six-game point streak.
James Malm (10G, 6A) has points in seven of his last eight games.
Hitmen Milestones:

I did a scale swap with my DLT 20cv Manix 2 and the M390 DLC. Happy with both outcomes, the brown scales look better with the satin blade in my opinion.

First in G10 maybe. I've got the next one with a full flat grind. I'd love to get my hands on one like yours. I'd say around 1999

Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose coating, natural vanilla extract, glycerine.
Provides: Vitamin C -250mg, Citrus Bioflavonoids - 100mg
The isolated Vitamin C found in ordinary supplements is rapidly lost from the body, but True Food C sustains Vitamin C levels in the blood for well over 8 hours, and has a much greater antioxidant power than regular Vitamin C supplements.
As a guide, one tablet of True Food C replaces a standard 1000mg isolated source of Vitamin C.
About Vitamin C: Vitamin C is required for the support and maintenance of tissues in all parts of your body, it is one of the most fundamentally important nutrients for humans as we cannot synthesise it ourselves. It is necessary for the healthy natural formation of collagen, an important protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for the supporting the body and for the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.
Vitamin C is an Antioxidant
Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants. Vitamin E and beta-carotene are two other well-known antioxidants. Antioxidants are nutrients that help support and maintain health and help maintain a youthful appearance.
Sufficient Vitamin C intake can help support and maintain: Healthy hair, skin and nails.
Healthy teeth and gums. Proper immune function. Healthy muscles and joints. A healthy heart and cardiovascular system. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it. It is therefore important to include plenty of vitamin C containing foods in your daily diet or as a supplement for guaranteed, measurable, dosage.
Because of the way the True Food products are made and absorbed in the body they do not have to be attached to a carrier. The body sees the True Food products as food which means there are many more opportunities (i.e. receptor sites) for absorption in the digestive tract than there are for regular supplements.
True Food nutrients also contain B vitamins, betaglucans,

Steven Tyler mixes flavors with 'We're All Somebody From Somewhere'
Steven Tyler has just released the third single off his forthcoming We're All Somebody From Somewhere CD, due out July 15th on Big Machine's Dot Records imprint. The title track, written by Tyler and Jaren Johnston, features a flurry of flavors from the Delta blues to pop country to a touch of 90's Aerosmith.
The song opens with a big drum fill kicking off a loop of hand claps backed by well balanced acoustic stringed instruments including a mandolin. At first listen, it was turn off because I thought it sounded like the rest of the processed music that's out there, but it quickly changes with the flavors Tyler mixes into the track. The horns give it a New Orleans feel with a solo section that mixes even more Cajun flavors as the horns trade off solos with a rock sounding guitar.
Lyrically, the first verse is twice as long as the second which throws it off balance for someone with OCD like me. I'm sure there's enough Americana that could've filled another three lines for balance, but it still works. The lyrics name drop cities and cultures and bring everybody together. My least favorite parts are when the music suddenly drops and Tyler speaks a line before breaking into the chorus. It just feels awkward to me, but the rest of the song really works.
How will it fare at country radio? Who knows? Radio is such an iffy medium these days, some of the most poppy sounding songs cease to climb the charts as expected while some of the most country sounding tracks top them. The single is also being serviced to active rock, classic hits, classic rock and mainstream rock stations, as well, so it could have huge crossover appeal to Aerosmith fans. Parts of the song aren't too far off from two of Aerosmith's biggest hits, "Dude Looks Like A Lady" and "Janie's Got A Gun."
I give the song an eight out of ten and look forward to seeing what else Tyler has in store on his CD. "Love Is Your Name" was the first single released last summer and "Red White & You" was released earlier this year. Anticipation about Tyler's first solo CD is gaining more traction as the album's release date draws closer. Look for a complete album review as soon as I can get a copy.
The song impacts radio on July 18th.

About the Film
The Fight of Our Lives – Defeating the Ideological War Against the West examines the internal and external threats facing the West. The cast of distinguished scholars and experts trace the emergence of anti-Western ideas and movements, and their subsequent penetration into Western academia, politics, and society.
"Civilizations, empires, great powers can fall apart very fast. Collapse can come suddenly, like a thief in the night. And we should be very wary of assuming that our civilization, the civilization of the early 21st century West, will oblige us by declining gradually", declares Niall Ferguson of the Hoover Institution.
And the risk of that rapid collapse is heightened by two linked threats. British author and journalist Melanie Phillips explains further: "there is the threat from within and the threat from without. And the threat from without is made much more threatening by the threat from within. The threat from within comes from people who want to undermine and destroy the basis Western Civilization, the basis of Western society."
This powerful documentary, produced and directed by award-winning Gloria Z. Greenfield, conveys eloquent messages of determination, focus, and calls to action.

Today is National Oreo Day. Let's all salute Sam J. Porcello, Nabisco's chief food scientist, who created the creme filling for the most popular cookie in the history of the world.
Here are a few fun facts about the Oreo cookie:
1. Hydrox was the original. Hydrox might seem like an Oreo knock-off, but these cookies actually came first, debuting in 1908 — four years before the Oreo.
2. Double-stuff might be a misnomer. They're actually only 1.86 times bigger than regular Oreos. You can thank a high school math class in upstate New York for the detective work — though following the revelation, a spokesperson for the cookie insisted they do in fact contain "double the stuff."
3. Oreo O's Cereal was a thing. The cereal was launched in 1998 and discontinued in 2007. It's not totally extinct, though: It's still being produced in South Korea. If so inclined, lend your voice to the ever-growing groundswell of support to bring Oreo O's back through this Facebook group.
4. There's a tool for easy dipping. Those who love to enjoy Oreos dunked in milk should invest in The Dipr. The hook-like (or reaper-like) utensil is perfectly designed to snugly cup an Oreo cookie, allowing for easy dunking — and ensuring that none of the cookie gets lost in the liquid. There's even a shallow, color-coordinated dish to combat the classic problem of not being able to fit your hand in a slim glass of milk.
5. Pigs hate Oreos. We have the folks over at Ben & Jerry's to thank for this discovery. When the company started giving its milky water waste to a local pig farmer in 1985, the farmer reported that his hogs loved every flavor except for Mint with Oreo Cookies. Guess every man (and hog) has his limits.
6. They're different in China. While beloved in the United States, Oreos didn't do so well when they were introduced in China in 1996. They were almost pulled from the market, but then Kraft decided to ask Chinese consumers for their input. As a result of that research, the company tinkered with the cookie's original recipe, introduced new flavors and shapes, created new ads, and eventually created an Oreo that looks nothing like the one we know: It's essentially a tube-shaped treat with four layers of crispy wafer and vanilla or chocolate cream filling.
7. Oreo cream makes for great art. Artist Tisha Cherry makes incredible tiny pieces of artwork on the canvas of Golden Oreos, using novelty Oreo cookies from over the years for color and a toothpick as her tool. Her Instagram has everything from Oreo-d Frida Kahlo to American Gothic and lots of other food art in between.
8. The name is a mystery. Oreo has gone through a few name changes over the years, initially going by "Oreo Biscuits," then "Oreo Sandwich," "Oreo Creme Sandwich," and "Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie" in the 1970s. Oddly, the core name remains a total mystery. The origin of the word "Oreo" might be from the French word for gold (or) because the packaging in the beginning was gold, but no one knows for sure.
9. Oreos are the world's best-selling cookie. More than 450 billion Oreo cookies have been sold since their debut in 1912.
10. They're available in more than 100 countries.
11. Flavors around the world include Green Tea Ice Cream (Japan), Dulce de Leche (Argentina), Blueberry Ice Cream (Indonesia), Raspberry/Blueberry (China), and Orange/Mango (China).
12. One of the original flavors was lemon meringue. The flavor was discontinued in the 1920s. Since then, Oreo has branched out to a world of other flavors including Creamsicle, Banana Split Cream, Neapolitan, Triple Double, Candy Corn, Coconut Fudge, Gingerbread, Candy Cane, White Fudge Covered, Cookies n' Creme, Root Beer Float, Watermelon, Marshmallow Crispy, Caramel Apple, Limeade, Pumpkin Spice, Cookie Dough, Red Velvet, Cotton Candy, S'mores, and so many more.

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups chopped oreos (not oreo crumbs but crushed oreo pieces). You can place the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them — then measure out 3 cups.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar and sugar with an electric mixer until blended, about 1 minute. Add the in egg and vanilla, beat again until mixed.
Gradually add in the flour mixture, mixing with a spatula just until combined (it's okay if there are some flour streaks). Mix in the chopped Oreos with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are light brown and the center is golden. Allow the cookies to cool for 15 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet. Store in an air tight container.

The last of the peanut butter was used up with this recipe. As with most no-bake recipes, these were very easy to make. They were pretty good — sweet and crunchy.
While they don't necessarily look beautiful, you can do something fun with the chocolate to make it a bit "prettier."
I keep waffling on whether I'd make these again. I think there are other no-bake recipes with peanut butter and chocolate I'd make instead. Plus, now that I'm thinking about it, I wouldn't bring these to a dinner party…so I guess I'm going to say no to making them again.

If you're a student, you can save some money on products like MacBooks and iPads with an Apple student discount through Unidays, or you can take advantage of Apple education pricing directly through Apple. Education pricing is available to college students, educators, and even homeschool teachers. How to Get an Apple Student Discount or Apple Education Pricing Students can take advantage of special Apple student discounts through two different methods. Education pricing is available directly through the regular Apple website, and it's available to college students.Student discounts are also available through Unidays, which is like a coupon site with a robust student enrollment verification process that retailers use to provide student discounts. Who Is Eligible for Apple Education Pricing? Unlike most student discounts, Apple education pricing is available to a wide range of students and educators across all grade levels. It isn't limited to college students, and it also isn't limited to students at all. To qualify for Apple education pricing, you need to meet at least one of these requirements: Currently enrolled at a college or universityNewly accepted at a college or universityA teacher at any grade levelA homeschool teacher at any grade levelFaculty or staff at a school of any grade level What Does Apple Education Pricing Get You? Education pricing provides a small discount, typically about $50, on most Apple products. You can save on the entire MacBook line, the iMac line, iPads, and even accessories. In some cases, larger discounts are available on specific products. The Apple education pricing site shows the price that you will pay with the education discount, but it doesn't show the original price. To see how much you will save on any given product, you need to view that product in the Apple education store, check the same product in the regular Apple store, and compare the prices. How to Get and Use the Apple Student Discount on the Apple Education Store Saving money through the Apple education store is a simple matter of shopping through the education store instead of the regular Apple store. You don't have to sign up for anything, you can use your regular Apple account, and there is no up-front verification process. Here's how to get a student discount through the Apple education store: Navigate to the Apple Education Store. Click the product line you're interested in. Choose the product you want, and click Select. Choose the options you want, and click Add to Bag. Click Review Bag. Click Check Out. Choose your delivery method, enter your payment information, and complete the checkout process as you would normally. There is no up-front verification process, so that's literally all there is to it. Apple doesn't verify your enrollment at the time of purchase, but they do perform audits from time to time. By using the Apple Education Store, you agree to let Apple contact you at a later date for verification. If you are unable to verify your enrollment at that time, Apple reserves the right to charge your credit card for the difference between education and regular pricing on the items you purchased. Who Is Eligible for the Apple Student Discount Through Unidays? To qualify for Apple student discount codes through Unidays, you need to meet a few basic requirements, and you need to be able to prove that you meet those requirements. To use Unidays, you must be: At least 16 years oldCurrently enrolled at a college or universityAble to access to either a .edu email issued by your school or a credit card style student ID from your school Unidays does not allow parents to sign up for their children. Students must sign up on their own, and they have to meed the age and enrollment requirements. What Does the Unidays Apple Student Discount Get You? Apple student discounts that are available through Unidays vary based on the current offers. Coupon codes typically provide a flat discount on specific products, such as $200 off MacBooks.

The site allows you to generate one-time-use coupon codes, which you can enter during the checkout process on Apple's online store. How Does Apple Verify Student Enrollment? When you use Apple's Education Store, they don't verify enrollment upfront. Verification happens manually instead and on a limited basis. It's the luck of the draw if you happen to be one of the transactions that Apple decides to audit. Apple student discount codes through Unidays work differently. Unidays is a third-party service that verifies enrollment up front, so they require you to provide proof of enrollment before you gain access to coupon codes. Unidays is able to automatically verify student enrollment at most four-year universities and colleges, and manual verification is available for many schools that aren't already in the system. This same student discount service is used by a lot of other big companies, like Dell, and you only have to sign up once. Once you have signed up and verified your enrollment, you can take advantage of Unidays student discount codes for hundreds of different companies. How to Sign up for Unidays to Get Apple Student Discount Codes The Unidays signup process isn't difficult, but it does require you to verify your enrollment at a qualifying school. Once you've successfully set up and verified your Unidays account, you can use it to generate coupon codes. You can set up this account on your Mac, PC, or portable device like a smartphone. Here's how to get set up with Unidays so that you will be able to take advantage of the Apple student codes and discounts: Navigate to the Unidays website and click or tap the ≡ (three vertical lines) icon in the upper left corner. Click or tap Join now. Enter your email address, select a password, and click or tap Join now. Enter your school information, and click or tap Continue.

The basic process involves visiting the Unidays site, generating a coupon code from Apple, and then using the coupon code on Apple's website.

UC Application Updates
Official score reports sent to one UC campus are automatically available to all UC campuses to which a student applied.
Some students will be randomly selected to verify information in their application, including 7/8th grade language other than English and math (including geometry) courses, and will be notified by email by the end of December. The deadline to respond is Jan. 31. Failure to respond to the request by the deadline will result in withdrawal of the application.
Junior Junction
Those planning to attend a university after high school should register online and prepare for the SAT, SAT Subject Tests and/or ACT. You should begin taking one in the spring to give yourself opportunities for retests if needed.
PSAT scores came out on December 12th; did you check your score in your CollegeBoard account?
Start thinking about colleges that you may want to visit for Winter Break. Play with Super Match on Naviance to see all of your college options under your specifications. Colleges care what a student does outside of the classroom so start to think about who you are or what you could do to bolster your resume.
Also start thinking about your classes for next year. Are they appropriate for your post high-school goals? You will be meeting with your counselors in January to plan out next year.
Sophomore Stop
Part of the focus for tenth grade is to explore extracurricular activities and career exploration. All students have access to our Naviance program where interest inventories, career clusters and related career assessments can be explored. Parents also have access to explore the Naviance program and learn how to navigate it. This tool will become very useful junior year, as this will be the primary source for researching majors and colleges.
Click HERE to finish your interest and career cluster inventories this December! Remember to add three career clusters/ careers to your career list and speak with your counselor about these! Contact your counselor if you need access to your free account.
Start to research colleges. Visit schools during winter break as this can motivate students by showing them how all their hard work can pay off. Colleges care what a student does outside the classroom, so continue to do extracurricular activities. Research and learn what schools and programs interest you, then create a filing system for each college.

Mini Masai Earrings | Pushmataaha
or make 4 interest-free payments of $40.00 AUD fortnightly with More info
Gold Plated Brass & Lapis
A petite version of our Masai Earrings, the Mini Masai features lapis lazuli orbs with the same classic gold plated detailing and thread-through gold plated wire hook. This delicate take on the original Masai classic is fast becoming another favourite thanks to it's everyday versatility.
Prevalent in ancient Egyptian jewellery, and a symbol of royalty and wisdom, lapis lazuli is characterised by its intense, midnight blue hue and shimmering golden flecks. A combination of three minerals, - lazurite, calcite and pyrite - lapis lazuli is in legend said to 'have existed before time was born'. An ancient stone reminiscent of the night sky and shining stars, this parallel explains its spiritual importance in connecting the physical plane with the celestial kingdom. Enhancing wisdom, intuition and the growth of psychic abilities.

Slug Girl, or Melk as a companion, is a monster in Monster Girl Quest: Paradox.
Monsterpedia Entry
"With her body that of a soft slug, weak attacks will get stuck in her mucus covered membrane. The Slug Girl's behaviour is to take walks at night and attack any men she encounters. Like most monsters, her staple food is male semen. Using the lower half of her body, she carefully stimulates her catch to feed.
Once she catches a male in her slimy mucus membrane, they are forced to ejaculate with surprising ease. With that, she is able to feed.
In addition, if the Slug Girl particularly likes her catch, she will use the genitals in the slug half of her body to mate with her prey. Using the same techniques as feeding, she will force the male to release just enough semen for copulation.
Once a suitable male has been found to copulate with, the Slug Girl will continue to use him as both a mate and a source of food for the rest of his life."
- Slime Attack - One Foe, Normal Attack, Slime 50%
- Poison Attack - One Foe, Normal Attack, Poison 25%
- Sticky Slime - One Foe, Pleasure Attribute, Slime 75%
- Slimy Caress - One Foe, Pleasure Attribute, Slime 75%
- Mount - One Foe (Luka), Pleasure Attribute, Bind, Slime 75%,
- Slug Crush - Rape, Slime 75%
Since your equipment is still likely to be limited in this part of the game, there isn't much you can do. You should have Sonya in your group, who can use White Magic to heal you and use club skills especially deadly to slime creatures, like Slug Girl. Lime can also help here if you recruited her. She can steal items from them which can be surprisingly useful. If nothing else, she's another party member to deal damage with.
The fish boomerang can still be helpful here, so if they appear in a group, using it isn't a bad idea. But switch back to the custom sword when there's only one of them left.
"So you've come here after being defeated by a mere slug… This adventure is going to be so very painful. Slug Girls will try to slime you. When you are Slimed, you will take heavy damage from pleasure attacks. However, defeating your enemies should be faster than treating this ailment, assuming you even can treat it at this point. If you're bound while Slimed, you will have a very rough time. Have your party members attack that monster to free yourself immediately. Slimy, sticky monsters are very conductive, and therefore weak to lightning, but it's probably faster simply attack if your level is high. Now go, oh brave Luka. Make sure you don't lose to weak monsters such as these again."

Shipping is undoubtedly a significant thing to do business especially cross-border business. How to set up shipping is an important part. The article is trying to introduce how to set up shipping formula in a Shopify store.
Shipping checklist
The shipping checklist in Shopify was taken here:
1. Set up your shipping rates and methods
2. Add product weighs
3. Choose your preferred package type
4. Get free package material
5. Print a test shipping label
Initial Setup
Before you can start shipping your products, you need to add some information about your business on the Shipping page in your Shopify admin.
To find the Shipping settings page:
From your
Shopify admin, click Settings, and then click Shipping.
On the following part:
Add a shipping origin address
If you ship your products from somewhere other than your store's main office, you can specify a separate shipping origin to make sure your taxes and calculated shipping rates are correct.
If you're tracking inventory at multiple locations, then these steps don't apply. Instead, your store address is used as the shipping origin, which is used when calculating shipping rates and creating shipping labels.
Desktop steps:
1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping.
2. In the Shipping origin section, click Edit address:
3. Enter the address of the location where you ship your products from, and then click Save:
Change the shipping origin
These steps apply only if you are using multiple locations.
After you enable multiple locations, your shipping rates are calculated based on the location that is set as the shipping origin.
You can set any of your active locations to be the shipping origin. However, apps and deactivated locations can't be set as the shipping origin.
If you change the shipping origin to a location where a carrier isn't supported, then the rates for that carrier are hidden at the checkout. For example, if you set the shipping origin to a location that is in the United States, then Canada Post rates aren't displayed at the checkout.
Rates for buying shipping labels from the Shopify admin are calculated based on the fulfillment location, not the shipping origin.
Desktop steps:
1. Go to Settings > Shipping.
2. In the Shipping from the section, click Change shipping origin.
3. Select a location, and then click Save.
Add a package type
If your store is outside of the United States and Canada, then you can add only one preferred package type.
If your store is in the United States or Canada, then you can save the dimensions and weights of your preferred package types on the Shipping settings page in your Shopify admin.
Desktop steps:
1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping.
2. In the Packages section, click Add package:
3. In the dialog, enter the required information about the package type:
Some mail types have restrictions on the size of the packages that you can use to ship your products. A notice about applicable size restrictions will appear on the dialog when you create a new package type.
(Tip: If your store is based in the United States, then you can add USPS flat rate packaging.)
4. Click Add package.
(Note Advertised box dimensions may refer to the inside of the packaging, so it's important to measure the outside dimensions of your boxes.)
Edit or delete a package type
You can edit or delete an existing package type by clicking on its name in the Packages section.
Desktop steps:
1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping.
2. In the Packages section, click Edit next to the package type that you want to edit:
3. In the dialog, enter your changes and then click Save, or click Delete package:
Next steps
Before you can start shipping your customers orders, you need to:
The regions and countries that you ship
to are known as shipping zones. Each shipping zone includes shipping rates that
apply to customers whose addresses are within that zone. You can see your
current shipping zones and shipping rates on the Shipping page
in your Shopify admin. If a customer enters a shipping address that's in a
region outside your shipping zones, then they'll be informed that no shipping
rate is available for their area.
After you've set up shipping zones for where you want to ship your products, you can choose the methods you'll use to get your customers' orders to them. You can offer several shipping methods for a zone so your customers can choose from a range of delivery speeds and costs at checkout:

Tactics Without Strategy!
August 1st, 2018 by Keshav Howe
Tactics Without Strategy!
Sun Tsu pointed out that "Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat." The utter folly of entering a war without a plan to end it, is self-evident; particularly when we notice our tendency to swat at petty criticisms, and chew on overcooked and unresolved details. Sound familiar?!
Posted in Quote of the Week | 13 Comments »
13 Responses to "Tactics Without Strategy!"
I feel like this applies to the road trip I took in July and early August. The conflict is inside myself – to go or not go on the trip at all, anxiety and adrenaline related to bridges and drop offs by mountainous roads, and simultaneously having the need to keep going anyway, and whether to follow through with this move or not. I guess it's between my limited perspective mind (fear based) vs love based, expanded and connected true nature. There's a part of me that wants to keep everything the same no matter the cost to me and my life. ALL it wants is (perceived) control, familiarity, low risk. I think it's freaking out as I expand more. But no matter how much my hands were shaking or how hard my heart was beating on roads I experienced as really scary for a variety of reasons, I kept going. I danced with that energy, talked to it, told it to have a seat, hugged it, opened to it, or had it run along outside the car when it got super annoying. It's disappointing to me that part of me seems to have turned into a real fraidy cat, but as I drove, the part that was sure, clear and expanded gained confidence and sometimes I forgot to be scared.
"the powerful urge to compare the content of this moment with another is simply nonsensical" – And with that, consciousness is free to emerge into the present. Very powerful and very helpful. Thank you Keshav, you nailed it!
My thoughts have lately been alternating between the past, what I had and lost, and the future, where will I live, where will I work. And in the now, there is a dis-ease. And then the question of what to do about that. Reading Keshav's posts, and hearing Cherise tell of just letting go and the relief it brings, (and as often seems to happen, when we let go it seems to free up the universe to do its thing) I know that I have to surrender to what is, even the feeling of not being well, and just let go of trying to control how things are or how they will be.
Water out of balance for sure, the need to know. And fear of the unknown. There is this knowing that until I let go, I am standing in the way of some greater plan than I might concoct, and that when the time is right all will be revealed. And from the place of non-resistance, all is well, all will always be well. I ask you all to please send energetic support so that I will end this (imaginary) war and let peace break out.
Indeed, Keshav, one great "they say" remark says 'We learn from the past'. Another says 'History repeats itself'. We live in the results of using these kinds of thinking, and see what happens when we 'live by the past'. The distancing assures that nothing useful happens. Other than greed (one enormous motivator), what is the reticence against awareness? What might presence lead to that is so daunting? Namaste.

How can we end any war, of any making, without being fully present with the subtle and eternal nature of life?! We all know that the most common escape tactic is to compare this moment with another. Time and Distance are the weapons of choice.
Thank you, Betty – we are on exactly the same page. Namaste.
Thanks, Carol. My observation is that acceptance of what is goes hand-in-hand with presence which then gives me the clarity with which to proceed. And empathy, is listening without a personal, separate self getting involved to compete with the imagined other, discovering that they are one with us. Even with those that do things that we abhor, it is possible to feel empathy and recognize that, in spirit, we are one with them. To see it any other way is to be in separation.
Relevant to the question of strategy vs tactics, the musical group The Monkees had a song called 'Zor and Zam' – They gave a war and nobody came. Namaste.
The primary strategy of life for me has come to be acceptance and empathy. As a result I take in more of what is going on, without judgement or censure, and am increasingly able to put' myself' in the place of others. This helps me to know that I am others and then everything looks so different. Namaste.
I find that not resisting resistance has been a huge help in letting go of the misunderstood battle with mind. It is easy to let go when there is no punch to follow. That resistance is always a reminder to not take thoughts and reactions seriously. To watch through the eyes of awareness instead the eyes of a separate sense of self is such a major shift in attention. Presence is incredibly fluid and loving whereas left or right becomes too painful. I have noticed a shift in the way my eyes feel when I am locked into presence. It is the same feeling as the magic eye book.
on 04 Aug 2018 at 12:16 am Keshav Howe
Terrific insight. Yes, Diane. Then our actions are in alignment with the innate and harmonious nature of Self. All "mistakes" are seen as simple wake up calls or necessary course corrections. An ease of being accompanies the tactic to consciously allow those opportunities to reveal themselves. Doubt and disappointment fall away into irrelevancy. No more windmills to battle. So very simple.
That graceful shift in strategy allows us to directly experience the ways that we "unenlighten" ourselves. A clear path forward is self-evident when we commit to enjoy every step along the way.
So, fast forward to the part where we realize the war is imaginary and irrelevant when we finally open to awareness?
For me the strategy to end the war within is to continually re-frame challenges into opportunities to expand the framework of my perception. I will meet Doubt with a look at what is underneath to bring me back to presence. The strategy is to open me up more and more to truth which is love and freedom.
