Period Corsets® Vintage Collection- Fan Lacing Corset Girdle
Pin It Tweet
We bring to you another jewel from our own Period Corsets® collection of vintage corsets. This corset girdle features wonderful fan lacing to make self-tightening an easy task.
This corset features an ingenious self-cinching method. By employing the use of two sets of fan lacing slides on either side of the body, the wearing can tighten her own laces without the help of others. The ties are laced through several holes with the other end being attached to straps that can be pulled and locked in place.
The front of this corset has a hook and eye closure with elastic gussets and hip panels. This piece was all about getting in and out with as much ease as possible while creating a wonderful smooth long line across the lower torso.
Watch our video demonstrating this great lacing method:

Not really. Why not just call them by their user names? For exampe, would you like it if someone continually called you "LosingoutonGrace"?
I agree totally, but I just think we can deal with them without making fun of them or their user names..

SLAS Fld Trip Anncmnt -- StL Area -- SHAW NR

The ST. LOUIS AUDUBON SOCIETY is sponsoring a field trip this Saturday to
Shaw Nature Reserve in Franklin County.
DATE: Saturday, November 9, 2019
MEETING TIME: 8:00 a.m.
MEETING PLACE: The semi-circle parking lot across from the Visitor Center
at the entrance to SNR. We'll be hiking from the parking lot so it's best
to not use up the temporary parking slots in front of the VC. You'll find
me up at the parking lot which is only a few yards from the VC.
DIRECTIONS: From St. Louis take I-44 west to the hwy 100 exit at Gray
Summit, MO. At the top of the ramp turn left at the traffic light, cross
the interstate, then right on westbound hwy 100. Entrance to SNR is
immediately on the left.
PLAN: This is planned to be a 1/2 day trip but it might extend past lunch
some if the birding is good. We'll be hiking from the parking lot on
well-groomed trails for a total distance of about 4 miles. There will be
changes in elevation but they're gradual and walking is easy. Our path will
take us through the pinetum, down the Brush Creek Trail, across the prairie,
through the Dana Brown camp, along the wetland, past the Serpentine Wall,
Wolf Run Lake and finally back to our starting point. The hike is designed
to take us through a variety of habitats where we hope to find birds of the
season plus residents. Last year we tallied 47 species including 5 of
raptor, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Winter and Sedge Wren
plus lots of Carolina, multiple Hermit Thrush, 10 of sparrow and, of course,
lots of woodpeckers. There are proper toilets at the VC but none along our
hike so plan accordingly. As it's a 1/2 day trip no formal lunch stop is
planned; bring your own food and drink to suit.
Follow this link to find a map of SNR:
PARTICIPATION: Everyone is welcome, SLAS members and non-members.
LEADER: Mike Thelen
COST: The field trip is free; however, SNR charges a nominal entrance fee.
The fee is waived for members of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Whether you
are a member of the MBG or not please be sure to check-in with the desk
inside the VC. If the VC isn't open at 8 a.m. SNR asks that you use either
the sign-in sheet or pay "through the door." The front gate at SNR opens at
8 a.m. and closes at 5:00 p.m.
MORE INFO: Contact me or visit www.stlouisaudubon.org
This is a great opportunity to get away from the cars, hike on what is
forecast to be a splendid fall day and, most of all, enjoy the birds on one
of the region's most beautiful areas.

- Worth the Effort School Classes in using hand tools.
- Brand: Worth the Effort School | Category: Courses
This school recently opened not far from where I live. I attended one of their 'Free Friday' classes and both learned a lot and enjoyed myself. The teacher has lots of enthusiasm and knowledge; and since he was a school teacher, he knows how to teach.
The environment is extra friendly and the equipment first rate. A lot of thought went into setting this place up, and they did all the work themselves.
I was there when they were getting ready for one of their guest instructors, and the students all seemed to be very happy to be there.
If you take a class from them you will be satisfied with the result- and San Marcos is a neat place to visit.
I recommend it.

Thanks Donna, I watched his video. It looks like a great concept and I wish him luck.
You might suggest that he join Lumberjocks and he might get some students from here.

They certainly don't seem to be skimping on the equipment. I'd love to take their WIndsor chair course with Elia Bizzarri or the carving course from Mary May.

We can't say enough good things about Bill and his amazing cottage! Incredibly well done and equally well equipped; stocked with all the basic sundries anyone would need; located in an ideal, convenient, yet secluded South Chatham location...and all this with a readily available if needed, but privacy respecting owner. We've been coming to the Cape for vacations for almost 40 years, and this was by far the best place we've ever rented. Thanks so much, Bill!...we hope to see you again.
We recently enjoyed our sixth annual vacation in Chatham. This cottage is just steps away from a beautiful, private beach. The cottage itself is comfortable, well maintained and fully stocked. So nice to have all the kitchen essentials if you decide to cook in. Love Lane is very quiet, but the location is central to many great restaurants and activities, as well. Bill is a great host and easy to work with. Looking forward to more time spent at this beautiful cottage!
At the risk of interfering with my self interest as I don't want competition for my particular 3 weeks in September, I have to confess that this beach cottage has almost everything you could want in a vacation stay. The cottages are new construction and very well done: You have excellent AC, wireless internet, tv, and a very short walk to a private beach. Yet, you are also only a few miles [3-4 estimate] from the town of Chatham where you can find good to excellent restaurants, a movie theatre, etc. My wife and I have come back every year since we first found this gem for the past decade. I only have one small complaint, the queen bed needs to be replaced because it is not very supportive of renters with bad backs. Fantastic value and the owner is a very nice guy who will respond quickly to any concern/interest you might have. show more show less
We have stayed at the Sand Cottage for the past 2 years. It is a wonderful location, steps away from a private beach where you can meet a few other people or be all alone. The house is wonderful and has everything you may need: AC, washing machine, ceiling fans, and we love the outdoor shower. You can wake up and have your coffee with a beautiful view of the beach!! We highly recommend staying here!!
We have been coming to this lovely, cozy cottage for around six years. We keep coming back because the cottage has everything we need to relax on the warm sand. And it really is just steps to the beach! We have a kids' room, a room for ourselves, and a room for grandparents. Our family gets together twice a year and this cottage with private beach has allowed us to create wonderful memories.We love cycling on the nearby bike trail. Cooking dinners together. Walking on the beach.One year my father left his sneakers with orthodics at the cottage and our fantastic host, Bill, found them and mailed them back. I've been spending summers on the Cape for over 20 years and have stayed at many different homes. This is a top pick! show more show less
I have stayed in the Sea Cottage for many years, starting when it was the old sand-seep-through-the-door cottage! Now it's a wonderful new cottage! We love the washing facilities, AC, having 2 bathrooms, and love the outdoor shower. The owner is there to help! The beach is awesome and private. I highly recommend staying here!! A++++
50 steps to a private beach combined with an immaculate and modern house led to a perfect vacation for our family. The house is much larger than the pictures suggest and easily accommodated our family of six. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the front load washer and dryer appeared to be brand new. Bill was an extremely friendly host and was always available if we needed something. The house location is only two minutes off of Route 28 and is perfectly located halfway between Harwich and Chatham. Another perk of the location is that access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail is only 1 mile away and leads to a nice bike trip to either Chatham, Dennis, or Brewster. We will definitely be back! show more show less
My family has spent the past three years at Sand Cottage in South Chatham Mass. We have totally enjoyed our time. There is an identical cottage across the driveway and the owner lives on site in his separate home. Bill the owner has been exceptionally helpful and kind throughout our time at his cottage. The property itself is fully equipped with everything you need- A/C, washer/dryer, kitchen fully stocked, BBQ grill and deck with table and umbrella, WiFi, TV with cable channels, three bedrooms, two baths,etc. Just a short walk to the private beach and excellent for walking the beach and exploring. Also the cottage is in a quiet location yet only a short 10 minute drive to downtown Chatham. This rental cottage is truly perfect and our family looks forward to every July when we get to enjoy Sand Cottage for a week. And Bill and his wife have been extremely kind and helpful with anything we have asked for or inquired about. show more show less
You will not be disappointed if you book this property as it sits high on a bluff overlooking Nantucket Sound with a short walk down the stairs to a private beach. Very quiet and quaint neighborhood that is 5-10 minutes from downtown Chatham and only a short drive from the National Seashore. The house has everything one would need - a fully stocked kitchen, lovely patio, a large grill, and plenty of square footage for a family. Sits directly across from an identical cottage. The proprietor, Bill, is a kind, wonderful host who you will hopefully have a chance to meet and talk to. Price is very reasonable for the location and amenities. With two young children in tow, we wanted to be right on the beach and this was the perfect place. If we come back to the Cape next year, we are definitely returning to Love Lane! show more show less
For the past three summers, my family and I have spent the most perfect week at Sand Cottage! We absolutely love it here. The house is clean and comfortable. It's the perfect size for our family of five. It's very well-stocked. Kitchen/dining area are great for those nights you feel like cooking in! The location is idyllic, quiet but very close to downtown Chatham. The beach is heavenly. We swim, explore, and build the week away. Our three young children talk about our return to Love Lane (and the outdoor shower!) all year. Bill is wonderful; he is extremely easy to get hold of pre-visit and there for anything you may need during your stay. I could honestly write a novel about how much we love this place!!! It's hands-down my favorite week of the year! show more show less

This guide is designed to help law firm leaders assess the lay of the legal landscape, prepare for foreseeable change, and above all to position themselves so that they are ready to respond to the unseen challenges and opportunities ahead.
Full description
In the decade leading up to the economic downturn, revenues in the legal sector grew steadily every year. But that has changed. What is more, the pace of change continues to accelerate as new non-traditional competitors emerge, technologies evolve, and client demands for cheaper more efficient services threaten firms' profitability.
The speed of evolution is such that, looking just five years into the future, we can predict even more major changes for law firms.
Ark Group and Managing Partner's new book – 2020 Vision: The Future of Legal Services – brings together the advice of leading industry practitioners and consultants who scan the legal horizon for indicators of change, offer their predictions, and share experience and practical guidance to help law firm leaders prepare for what is coming up next.
The Future of Legal Services features:
- Patrick J. McKenna – Identifying, analyzing and constructing new opportunities out of future trends
- Patrick Johansen – Evolving pricing functions into a value-focused proposition
- Thomas Berman – Why making certain technology and business changes will be essential for most firms
- Deborah McMurray – Having a better understanding of your clients' needs to keep you ahead of your competition
- Patrick J. McKenna – How shared leadership is increasingly being seen as win-win strategy
- Jim Hassett – Legal project management: An opportunity for firms to gain a competitive advantage
- Jill King – The "future normal": Adapting to the millennial generation's expectations
- Chrissie Lightfoot – Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the legal profession
2020 Vision: The Future of Legal Services then closes with two intensely forward-looking pieces from Tim Mohan, and Steven J. Harper, which offer bold predictions for the evolution of the profession over the next five years.
In this fast-moving, competitive, increasingly varied environment, only the most agile firms – those able to respond rapidly to future trends – are likely to succeed.

Best Butties
Everyone loves a sarnie. Whether it's the good old traditional white slice, a fancy wrap, a warm baguette or a toasted ciabatta, they're a guaranteed menu pleaser.
Over 11.5 billion sandwiches are eaten each year in the UK with chicken being the number one filling. Served as a light snack or a meatier meal, our craving for the bread-based treat is far from being curbed.
In honour of British Sandwich Week (May 11-17) we salute the buttie with some inspiring ideas – a spicy twist on a chicken filling and a delicious veggie wrap.
Top five UK fillings:
- Chicken
- Cheese
- Egg
- Ham
- Prawn
Taste of Tradition: Hot Salt Beef
The old tradition of a salt beef sandwich is still a firm favourite – and no-one knows better how to serve it than Selfridges' famous Brass Rail restaurant which literally sells tonnes of this juicy delicacy. Its main carver, Saj has been carving beef with Selfridges for over 33 years, and it is his expertise that ensures each and every bite is as succulent as the last. Mark Taylor, head chef at the Brass Rail, says a Salt Beef Sandwich must be served on rye bread, with lashes of hot juicy salt beef, topped off with a slather of mustard of your choice – with a whole sliced pickled gherkin served on the side.

Don't watch the video. The video will distract you. The video has white boy dancing and an invisible drummer and horn players. This isn't the video of the week. It's the song of the week.
For 2 minutes and 30 seconds in 1972, the Osmonds had an unqualified moment of PURE ROCK BLISS. I don't care who you are, this song legitimately rocks and has more than enough stomp and wail to hang with the best hard rock/proto-metal of the era. The Osmonds far transcend their "Mormon Jackson 5" roots and deliver not only one of the greatest rock songs written and performed by Mormons, but one of the greatest rock songs of the 70s period.

The Symbolic Symbolism of Fakery
Posted by Ryne McClaren on March 7, 2010
Initially I wasn't particularly concerned about President Obama's "green" initiatives, until I remembered that America had just elected a complete fraud.
And while the following story doesn't have anything to do with our current administration per se, I think it's handy to remind ourselves that you can pick any issue of the day out of a hat, and whatever the government can do, the private sector can do better, cheaper, faster.
To wit: this informative Tom Steward post at Big Government titled 'Symbolic Wind Turbines Generating more P.R. Than Power.
Now that most of twelve California wind turbines retrofitted for Minnesota winters are finally operational, several cities have acknowledged to the Freedom Foundation of Minnesota that the $5 million project may be more suited for generating PR—both good and bad—than producing significant quantities of power.
The wind power project involves utilities in eleven cities scattered across the state from the metro area to East Grand Forks in a consortium called the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (MMPA). Each of the eleven member cities received one turbine, and the twelfth was given to the MMPA owned and operated Faribault Energy Park in Faribault. It was supposed to be a step toward meeting the state renewable energy mandate that requires 25 percent of Minnesota's power be from renewable energy sources by 2025.
It turns out, however, the twelve wind derricks will produce power for perhaps several hundred homes, hardly making a dent in the MMPA's 57,000 household and business customers.
"They're basically for public relations, educational purposes. They're just not feasible for any significant amount of electrical generation," said Dan Voss, Municipal Utilities Director for the City of Anoka.
President Obama's campaign pledge to promote "green" spending and research hasn't flowered. But when it does — pending the collapse of health care "reform" and any number of other items on his agenda — I expect that we'll see a lot more of this sort of thing.
"Going green" is a farcical notion, in both the corporate and political sense. "Green" products are stamped as such to induce the consumer to buy them, so caveat emptor. "Going green," in the political sense, is a lullaby to convince you to open your wallet to the cats who run Washington, DC and your state legislature.
I'm a pretty solid advocate of research and development of alternative energy sources, as well as the technology to reduce energy consumption. My political and ethical philosophies are both aligned with being good stewards of the earth, and being effective managers of the resources that are available to us. I don't think that makes me any more or less like any particular political party, I think it makes me similar to the majority.
But do we honestly believe that the accounting shell games run by our state and federal governments will ever produce actual, reality-based technologies to make our lives cleaner, more efficient, and more affordable?
I certainly do not think so. If you read the linked story above, and apply it at the macro-level, you'll see what I'm getting at.
Until "green" R&D presents an actual, accountable savings to the population, it's never gonna fly. But when the stars align just so, then we can look forward to a cleaner and more sustainable style of living.
Clean, renewable energy will have to be 1.) profitable to the producer, and 2.) profitable to the consumer. So ask yourself this: who do you trust to pull this one off?

Hi there, can you check if you have filled up all the required fields properly? That's one of the reasons why the background changes it's color to pink and not move to the next page. If this is not the case, can you provide us a URL so that we can look on to it? Thanks.

Our water park will wrap up its 2017 season at the end of September, capping its second year of providing fun and thrills for Ocean Lakes guests.
The Sandy Harbor Water Park, which has become one of our most popular amenities since its debut in May 2016, will shut down at the end of operation Sunday, Oct. 1 until next spring.
"Our guests have had a blast at Sandy Harbor this year," said Morgan Blackmon, our Aquatics Supervisor. "Guests would spend all day racing down the slides or relaxing while floating along the lazy river – then come back the next day for more."
The water park scaled back hours after Labor Day, when other area water attractions shut down for the year. But the Ocean Lakes team worked to extend our water park season beyond the traditional last hurrah of summer.
This is the second fall for our water park, and we set a consistent schedule after learning a year ago what works best for this new amenity.
"Last year was a trial run for everything," Blackmon said. "We learned a lot from last year."
The post-Labor Day hours:
Adventure (lazy) River and Splash Zone | 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day through Oct. 1
Drop Zone Mat Racer and The Tube slides (including the tube slides in the Splash Zone) | 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 1; closed on the weekdays
Outdoor pool | 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays. It will be open into the fall until it is too chilly to swim.
Indoor pool | 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays. Open year round.
We let guests know well in advance about the planned fall schedule, posting it on our website, blog and social media.
But some guests still have had questions. We've answered a few of the most common ones here:
Why aren't the slides open during the week?
The slides require additional lifeguards – mandated by state regulations – and certified lifeguards are hard to find after Labor Day. This includes the Drop Zone Mat Racer, The Tube and the slides in the Splash Zone.
Many of our lifeguards are teachers or students in high school or college who return to class and are no longer available to work after the summer. Our team has worked hard to recruit certified lifeguards into the fall. About 70 lifeguards worked the water park during the summer.
We cannot operate the slides without the lifeguards required by the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control. And we aren't going to put our guests at risk by operating the slides without those lifeguards.
"That's my biggest thing – safety," Blackmon said.
Will the water park be open during Halloweekends?
No. By mid-October, it's getting a bit chilly to splash around in the water. And there's also the staffing dilemma; most of our lifeguards are high school and college students who have returned to class.
But there's still plenty to do during our Halloweekends, including costume contests, trick or treating and site decorating competitions.
When will the pools close?
Our indoor pool is open year round. Our outdoor pool stays open until it's too chilly to swim, which is usually some time in October.
When will the water park open in 2018?
The water park will open for Easter weekend March 30-April 1, then will shut down until May.
The rest of the 2018 schedule:
May 1 | Weekends only (Saturday and Sunday) with "hours as posted"
Memorial Day weekend – Labor Day | Open every day with summer hours
Post Labor Day | Open "hours as posted" through Sept. 30. The lazy river and Splash Zone will be open every day; the slides will be open Saturdays and Sundays only

Activision officially announced that the third downloadable expansion, entitled 'Vengeance' is due to be released on 2nd of July for Xbox Live. Content will include four new multiplayer maps, and a new Zombies location for the game titled 'Buried.' The Zombies mode will also get a brand new weapon, the Ray Gun Mark II.
In reference to the new Zombie mode, Activision says,
"Players meet up with old characters and will encounter new ones as they face off against the undead residents of an abandoned underground Old West mining town."
Here is the official description for each of the new maps.
Cove: The stage is set for all-out conflict on this small, forgotten island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with players battling it out amongst the wreckage of a jet that crash-landed during a smuggling operation gone wrong.
Detour: A destroyed suspension bridge, high above an East Coast waterway, packed with scattered vehicles, exposed iron and collapsed pavement where the head-to-head action will play out on multiple levels.
Rush: Sets the stage for fast, close-quarters engagements in this paintball course turned full-combat arena, giving players new opportunities and challenges to use the cover to their advantage.
Uplink: "In this re-imagined adaptation of the fan-favorite multiplayer map 'Summit' from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, players clash deep in the rain-soaked jungles of Myanmar, high atop a hi-tech mountain facility."
'Vengeance' will cost you 1200 Microsoft Points. It is expected that version of the DLC for PS3 and PC will follow shortly in August.

Gas Prices Rise on Refineries' Record Failures
From www.nytimes.com
By JAD MOUAWAD
Published: July 22, 2007
Oil refineries across the country have been plagued by a record number of fires, power failures, leaks, spills and breakdowns this year, causing dozens of them to shut down temporarily or trim production. The disruptions are helping to drive gasoline prices to highs not seen since last summer's records.
These mechanical breakdowns, which one analyst likened to an "invisible hurricane," have created a bottleneck in domestic energy supplies, helping to push up gasoline prices 50 cents this year to well above $3 a gallon. A third of the country's 150 refineries have reported disruptions to their operations since the beginning of the year, a record according to analysts.
There have been blazes at refineries in Louisiana, Texas, Indiana and California, some of them caused by lightning strikes. Plants have suffered power losses that disrupted operations; a midsize refinery in Kansas was flooded by torrential rains last month.

The China stock market on Friday ended the three-day slide in which it had fallen almost 40 points or 1.3 percent. The Shanghai Composite Index now rests just above the 3,010-point plateau although it's likely to head south again on Monday.
The global forecast for the Asian markets is negative on pessimism over the outlook for interest rates. The European and U.S. markets were down Friday and now the Asian bourses are expected to open in similar fashion.
The SCI finished slightly higher on Friday as gains from the insurance companies were tempered by mixed performances from the financial shares and weakness from the properties.
For the day, the index rose 5.81 points or 0.19 percent to finish at 3,011.06 after trading between 2,990.92 and 3,014.85. The Shenzhen Composite Index gained 9.96 points or 0.63 percent to end at 1,601.20.
Among the actives, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China dipped 0.18 percent, while Bank of China shed 0.53 percent, Bank of Communications fell 0.48 percent, China Merchants Bank climbed 1.08 percent, China Construction Bank collected 0.53 percent, China Life Insurance spiked 2.16 percent, Ping An Insurance gathered 1.06 percent, China Shenhua Energy added 0.39 percent, PetroChina sank 0.58 percent, Gemdale dropped 0.86 percent, Poly Developments lost 0.73 percent, China Vanke slid 0.34 percent and CITIC Securities eased 0.25 percent.
The lead from Wall Street is soft as stocks opened sharply lower Friday, recovered as the day progressed but still ended in the red.
The Dow shed 43.88 points or 0.16 percent to finish at 26,922.12, while the NASDAQ lost 8.44 points or 0.10 percent to 8,161.79 and the S&P 500 fell 5.41 points or 0.18 percent to 2,990.41. For the week, the Dow jumped 1.2 percent, the NASDAQ surged 1.9 percent and the S&P rose 1.7 percent.
The early pullback followed the release of the Labor Department report showing a substantial growth in U.S. employment in June. While the data points to a rebound in the labor market, the report dampened investor hopes for a near-term interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
Oil futures settled modestly higher on Friday but saw a loss of 1.6 percent for the week as traders continued to weigh the commodity's near-term supply and demand prospects. West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures for August ended up $0.17 or 0.3 percent at $57.51 a barrel.

What Is A HydraFacial™?
HydraFacial™ is the only hydradermabrasion procedure that combines cleansing, extraction and hydration in one treatment. The result is clearer, more beautiful skin with little-to-no downtime.
The treatment is soothing, moisturizing, and generally non-irritating. Each treatment is customized to the patients skin concerns and desired results. As with most procedures, visible results from HydraFacial will vary from person to person.
What Does A HydraFacial™ Treat?
Hydradermabrasion is used to treat a variety of mild-to-moderate skin conditions including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, congested and acne-prone skin. Any area of the body can be treated. The most common areas are the face, neck and decollete.
What Are The Benefits Of Getting HydraFacials™ ?
Hydradermabrasion effectively and safely improves skin quality by increasing its thickness, repairing the dermal matrix and delivering beneficial antioxidants. Clinical improvements include better facial tone and texture, less discoloration and fewer fine lines. The procedure is ideally suited for those desiring facial rejuvenation with minimal to no downtime.
What Should I Expect During And Immediately After A HydraFacial™?
Your skin may experience temporary irritation, tightness, or redness. These are all normal reactions that typically resolve within 72 hours depending on skin sensitivity.
You may experience tingling or stinging during the treatment area. These sensations generally subside within three hours of treatment.
Patient experiences may vary. Some people may experience a delayed onset of the previously mentioned symptoms. Contact our office immediately if any unusual side effects occur or if symptoms worsen over time.
What Should I Expect After A HydraFacial™?
You will likely see results immediately after treatment and your skin will feel smooth and hydrated for one to four weeks. For improved, longer lasting results, consider take-home products and monthly HydraFacial™ treatments.
The treatment area is more susceptible to sunburn, sun damage and hyperpigmentation. Avoid direct sun exposure and use a minimum of SPF 40 sunscreen.
Aggressive exfoliation, waxing and products containing acids should be avoided in the treatment area for a minimum of one week pre- and post-treatment. Avoid the use of Retin-A type products pre- and post-treatment for 3 days.
Book Your Complimentary Consultation Now
We are committed to work with you to develop a synergistic approach for enhancing your skin's health and beauty. During your consultation we will address your specific needs and goals and answer any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure. In addition, we will make recommendations as to the best treatment plan for achieving your desired results.

I realize that I just had a post about minimalist/barefoot running, but there appears to be a sudden increase in the number of studies that have examined this issue. A new offers further support to the theory that overly supportive running shoes might not be the best thing for runners.
According to the Harvard study (partially funded by a minimalist shoe company), runners from Africa who grew up running barefoot land predominately on the front or middle of their feet, while runners who grew up running in supportive shoes land heel first. According to the authors, the human body experiences much less impact force if runners land on the front of their feet. It is theorized that the heel striking caused by running shoes has led to the large number of heel injuries (plantar fasciitis, etc.) that many runners suffer through.
This research is fascinating because it helps to understand how our prehistoric ancestors ran vast distances to capture prey without any modern running shoe technology. It appears that our bodies evolved to handle this running, and that ultra-cushioning and supportive running may not be needed. This topic is explored in the excellent book Born to Run by Christopher McDougall.
Regardless of this interesting academic area, I still don't think that these kinds of studies should have much of a practical effect on the running community. As I said in my previous post, I do not think that runners should suddenly dump their stability shoes. The authors themselves caution that switching to minimalist shoes too quickly will cause injuries. My view is that if you are running fine without many injuries, stay with your current shoes. If you are consistently having injury issues, then maybe consider testing a minimalist shoe, but make sure that you ease into it.

Tillerson cozies up to India and emphasizes necessary cooperation, while berating China and Pakistan
On October 20th, the United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson landed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, kickstarting a tour of the Middle East and South Asia. Tillerson visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. While in India, Tillerson clearly laid out the Trump Administration's stance on foreign policy issues in Asia.
Speaking of India, Tillerson said, "The driving force of our close relationship rests on the ties between our peoples — our citizens, business leaders, and our scientists. … We'll never have the same relationship with China, a nondemocratic society, that we have with a major democracy, like India." Later in his speech, Tillerson emphasized the major role India plays in joint naval exercises with the United States and Japan to counter China's influence in the South China Sea.
Tillerson's comments, saying that Pakistan serves as a ""safe haven" to terrorists, were also reflective of the Trump administration's stance, as outlined in President Trump's speech in August, when he called Pakistan a "safe haven to agents of chaos, violence, and terror." Akira Hori '20, says, "I think that Tillerson is completely justified in saying this about Pakistan. After all, it is true, because they harbor terrorists, and their government funds radical Islamic terrorism. I respect President Trump cracking down on Pakistan, and I think that Secretary Tillerson is very justified." Tillerson's trip serves as a clear precursor to President Trump's visit to Asia, where Trump is visiting Japan, China, South Korea, Vietnam, and the Philippines. When in India, Tillerson expressed his happiness with the relationship that Japan, India, and the United States are developing by performing military exercises in the South China Sea. He also expressed happiness that India is taking a role as a hedge to China in Asia.
Another topic of conversation between Tillerson and Swaraj, India's foreign minister, was North Korea. Tillerson and Swaraj both agreed that having an Indian embassy in North Korea is beneficial, considering the importance of having some channel, albeit small, of communication. Additionally, Tillerson expressed his agreement with India's sanctions on North Korea following their nuclear tests.
All in all, Tillerson's trip to South Asia serves as a clear antecedent to President Trump's visit to East Asia, and an outline for Trump's Asia strategy.

In a sign of the emerging fault-lines in Nepali politics, over 500 activists belonging to traditionally marginalised groups quit the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) on Thursday, accusing it of being 'anti federal'. Led by former party vice-chairman Ashok Rai, the dissidents have declared they would soon set up a new party and ally with other 'marginalised groups'.
Soon after announcing the decision to quit, Mr Rai told The Hindu, "The constitution could not be written because parties did not agree on the question of identity. We tried very hard to correct the UML's position but it did not accommodate people's progressive aspirations on federalism."
When pointed out that that UML, in principle, had reiterated its commitment to 'multiple-identity federalism', Mr Rai said, "At the core, it is an anti-federal party. But since the interim constitution has said federalism, they are trapped. So they want to push nominal administrative federalism. But in a country of Nepal's diversity, the key issue is addressing identity-based aspirations."
Besides Mr Rai, other prominent individuals who have quit UML include Newar leader Rajendra Shrestha, Sherpa leader and former head of the Nepal Ethnic Federation of Indigeneous Nationalities (NEFIN) Pasang Sherpa, Limbu leaders Bijay Subba and Rakam Chemjong, Muslim leader and former junior home minister Rijwan Ansari, and Madhesi leader Gopal Thakur. In a setback to the group however, the leader of the indigeneous peoples (Janjati) caucus in the Constituent Assembly, Prithvi Subba Gurung, has decided to stay on in the UML and fight for identity-based federalism.
The decision of the UML rebels comes a day after a group of three dozen Janjati leaders of the Nepali Congress quit the party, accusing the parent outfit of being opposed to federalism. Sometime back, a group of intellectuals and activists of the Janjati movement too had proposed the formation of a party to represent marginalised communities.
Mr Rai said they were 'in discussions' with all like-minded groups, and would be willing to ally with any other force which supported their 'agenda'. Krishna Bhattachan, a prominent Janjati activist who has been advocating the formation of a common party of Janjati communities said ideology was proving to be a sticking point. "We need to find a common ideological platform which gives space to people from different political schools of thought. But I am positive we will bring all strands together."

The North Eastern part of Victoria is known as the high country which incorporates the Snowy Alps and the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range. This is a diverse area with extremely cold winters in the ranges to hot dry summers on the slopes. The Murray River is the northern border of the region as well as a major source of water for irrigation in the slopes region.
The rainfall in the area ranges from 650 mm through to 1000 mm per annum. The rainfall distribution is skewed towards winter and spring, however there is significant rainfall in the summer and autumn. This rainfall pattern is ideal for the storage of water in a rainwater tank.
The economy of the region is diversified with tourism in the Alps, extensive horticulture and orchards along the rivers, dairying, and a major wine industry. These tourism and agricultural industries are complimented by manufacturing in Wangaratta and Wodonga.
The major cities of Wangaratta, and Wodonga are key service and industrial centres for the region and the major towns include Mansfield, Beechworth, Benalla, Bright, Myrtleford, Rutherglen, and Glenrowan. These cities and towns have Bushmans stockists who will provide all the right advice on the size and installation of water tanks.

I read a post recently where someone said that even if you max out your 401k plan over your earning years, you wouldn't have enough money to retire. Is that true? I hadn't ever really considered the question before so I wasn't sure. Rather than just take this person's word for it, I did what any personal finance geek (and financial coach) would do – I ran the numbers.
How much can you contribute to your 401k plan?
For the year 2017 each person can contribute up to $18,000 to their 401k plan. Someone who is age 50 or older can contribute an additional $6,000 each year – for a total of $24,000.
This is per-person, so both members of a working couple can each contribute this maximum amount. That's a total of $36,000 per year before age 50, or $48,000 per year from 50 onward.
Keep in mind it doesn't cost you that much
That sounds like a lot of money doesn't it?
Don't forget that 401k contributions are pre-tax. So if you are in the 25% marginal tax bracket, that $18k only impacts your take-home pay by $13,500. Yes, the $4,500 you would have paid in taxes goes into the investment account and enjoys the power of compounding with all the rest of your money!
How about company matches?
Investopedia states that the average 401k company match averages to equal about 2.7% of a person's income.
That in itself can have a tremendous impact on the growth of your investment account over an extended period of time!
But… not everyone gets a match. Additionally, different companies have different match policies. So rather than assuming everyone has the same benefit there, I'm going to exclude that amount from my calculations. If you're getting a match at work – just know that you'll have even more money at retirement.
What return might be reasonable in your 401k investments?
The point of this exercise is to determine if someone can contribute the maximum to their 401k over their entire earning years and have enough to retire. That being the case, what we care about is how the market tends to perform (has performed in the past) over most 40 year periods.
We can see from looking at this historical 40-year rolling return chart that the vast majority of 40-year periods produced average annual gains between 6% and 12%.
Read: What are stock market rolling returns and how are they useful?
I looked at the background data and confirmed that every single 40-year period fell somewhere between 4.9% and 13.1%, with the average annual return over the period being 9.342%.
Don't forget inflation
Inflation knocks off almost 3% from those returns though. So while you might get 9% average annual returns, the purchasing power at the end will feel more like a 6% return.
While I think 6-7% is a very reasonable estimate for returns after inflation, I'm going to get even a bit more conservative and use 5% for my calculations in this article. I can't stand when people over-inflate returns just to get big numbers, so I don't want to be accused of the same thing.
How much will be needed to retire?
I did an entire previous post on this (read: How much money do you need to retire?). Here's a quick answer – for most people the target will be about 25 times your current annual spending. This assumes you retire at age 65 and withdraw 4% of your investment balance each year.
Read: What is the 4% rule and how can it help your financial planning?
How big might the 401k balance grow?
Let's say you invest the maximum of $18k as soon as you start earning full-time income – let's round to age 25 – and continue this until age 65. You have a pretty good chance of earning 7% as noted above, or we can estimate 5%/year after accounting for inflation.
How much money would you have? A single person following this plan would amass about $2.3 million dollars. If this is a household with two working people who both contribute the maximum, they would retire with a balance of $4.6 million dollars.
Remember, that's already after accounting for ~3%/year in inflation. So that would be the equivalent purchasing power of the same amount in today's dollars.
NOTE: The actual investment balance would be a lot higher than these numbers. What we really care about is purchasing power in retirement. That's why we back out inflation. It will "feel" like you have this much money at retirement (even though you have more in actual dollars).
How much annual retirement spending would that allow?
Using the 4% rule this couple could withdraw $184,000 each year with an extremely high chance of never running out of money. I don't know about you, but I know that I sure could retire on that much money!
And what if Social Security is still around and they start collecting at their full retirement age? That could easily push them past $200k/year of money available for spending.
Read: How to estimate your social security benefits for retirement
So, can someone save enough to retire by maxing out their 401k plan? Yes, I'd definitely say that most people could! But I'd love to hear your thoughts…
Do, what do you think? Do you have any questions about the calculations? Do you think YOU could retire on the amount invested by maxing a 401k account?

Read reviews about Little Fish Shop here! All reviews have been written by Quandoo users that have already booked and eaten at Little Fish Shop. We try to be as transparent as possible by providing you with real guest experiences. Find out what other diners are saying about Little Fish Shop.
My friend and I had the barramundi, char-grilled, which came with a side of salad and mash. The sides themselves were wonderful: mash was soft and creamy, while the salad had a wonderful calamansi dressing. As for the fish, it was perfectly done, with just the right amount of charring of the fish. We only wished that the skin was crispier, so that it had more of a bite.
We were a party of 8 and the food came out one dish at a time. By the time my food had come out, the rest of my party had finished eating and had to watch me eat. It was a good thing my marinara tasted great. The paella however, was not a really cooked how a paella is supposed to be. It was more like baked rice. Lack any flavor whatsoever. A huge let down.
Great food and service. oysters were fresh as well and affordable.
Really disappointing meal today. My family and I have been to Little Fish Shop for many years, and we used to love it for its fresh seafood. However, that standard has deteroriated tremendously, ending up in us getting served smelly and spoilt oysters. I had to spit it out because and the experience was truly gross. The service and speed of food service has also always been a pain point, and even after so many years of feedback, there has been no change in this. I heard at least 2 other tables complaining and even shouting at the wait staff after waiting for close to an hour for food. All in all, I will never go back there to eat again. Despite the many years and many chances I've given, today was the last straw. Poor service (no one actively came to apologise for the bad oysters until I had to call the manager over), seafood that isn't fresh to the point of being spoilt (come on, the chefs and servers should also have spotted the bad oysters before serving it!), and long unacceptable wait for food all make this a restaurant I would recommend all to stay away from.
nice cosy environment with value for money food. very friendly staff as well!
Food was great but the service could have been better. The servers were pleasant but pretty unobservant.
Fresh food and great cooking. Ambience is a little disruptive with loud thumpings from the level above. Prices are reasonable. Would recommend for casual dining.

Top 7 Cliché Ideas You Should Avoid Including into Your Leadership Essay
Let's face it: the majority of people hate clichés. Yes, there are some individuals who like them because clichés are their comfort zone. But we doubt that your professor whom you need to write an essay falls under this category.
If you wish to avoid stereotypes notions, you need to avoid them not only in your style of writing but at the level of the topic as well. While writing a leadership essay, you need to come up with original ideas. We know it's hard because this issue has been popular for at least 5000 years, but it's not impossible. To help you with this "uphill struggle", we've put down a list of top leadership clichés that you should avoid at all costs. If you follow our advice, you will make your writing more interesting and profound!
1. Thеre Are No Stupid Quеstions
Yes, there are. In fact, there are loads of them, and you perfectly understand that. If you want to write a good leadership essay, it's better to promote the idea that a true leader has to identify and prevent stupid questions. If they still happen, it's best to highlight and explain why they are silly (of course in the right manner).
2. The Custоmer Is Аlways Right
If you have ever worked part-time in a customer support field, you'll know that it's not true. For a good leadership, it's important sometimes to stand the ground of your employee in front of a client.
3. Give It Your Best Shot
And what is this supposed to mean? Go and shoot something or somebody? A real leader must explain what expectations he/she has without scattering vague phrases. There are also other word combinations that fall into this category like "do your best", "go above and beyond", etc.
4. Don't Bother Me until You Have a Solution
This is another cliché that makes people flinch when they hear something similar from their bosses. If a subordinate comes with a problem to the senior, the latter must sit and puzzle out the issue to understand whether there is a solution in the first place.
5. Think outside the Box
And work outside the office. And eat outside the canteen.
This is a threadbare motivational phrase that stopped inspiring people years ago. So, why do leaders still use it?
6. Appreciate Every Opinion
Someone who is in charge should be able to see valuable opinions and mark them out for others to appreciate. It's a skill that is hard to hone, and, besides, it's always easier to say that a true leader must take into account all points of view.
7. Failure Is Not an Option
Among many mottos of Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, there is a phrase "Fail faster". He has even a whole theory that failures lead to success and it doesn't correspond with one of the main leadership clichés. So, do you think you should mention it in your essay?
Avoid these stereotypes to prevent your professor from doing a facepalm and add more interesting ideas that really work nowadays. We wish you good luck with that!
At AdvancedWriters.com company you can pay for essay writing online. Our experts have great writing skills to handle your leadership assignment.

When many of us think of Liverpool, we think of The Beatles, and for good reason: Liverpool was the birthplace of the Fab Four! Here are some of the best Beatles attractions in Liverpool, many of which are within walking distance of your Liverpool hotel.
The Beatles Story
Found on the Albert Dock, this exhibition is perhaps the ultimate way to get The Beatles experience. With loads of memorabilia (including the original Strawberry Fields gate) and replicas of many of The Beatles' most famous locations, including The Cavern Club and Abbey Road studios. Make sure to spend a few hours at The Beatles Story - it's definitely worth it!
The Beatles Statue
Found on the Pier Head, this new statue commemorates the beginning of The Beatles, as it's based on a photoshoot taken in 1963 of the band walking along the Mersey. It's the perfect spot for a few photographs!
Strawberry Field
The 1967 Beatles hit "Strawberry Fields Forever" got its name from this Salvation Army orphanage. While the home has been demolished - it stayed open until the 1970s - today you can visit the gates of the former building that inspired John to write the song.
Casbah Coffee Club
Diehard fans know that before Ringo Starr was The Beatles' drummer, there was Pete Best. Best's family owned the Casbah Coffee Club that, although it was only open from 1959 to 1962, was one of the first spots the boys first performed as The Quarrymen, surely practicing for what was to come. Today it is a tourist attraction with many original artefacts.
Childhood Homes (Mendips & 20 Forthlin Road)
The childhood homes of Paul McCartney and John Lennon are open to the public (though pre-arranged tours). If you're a hardcore Beatles fan, being able to wander through the rooms where the lads first got together to write and practice is quite surreal!
Penny Lane
Much like Strawberry Field, Penny Lane is a real place that inspired a song by The Beatles. John and Paul used to meet on this street to take the bus into town, but today is a place for a great photo op for any Beatles fan.
The Cavern Club
This list wouldn't be complete without mentioning The Cavern Club, found on Mathew Street, the place some say launched the band into the limelight! The Beatles gave their first performance ever at The Cavern Club on 9th February, 1961, and by the following year they were signed by legendary manager Brian Epstein after he caught them perform. The Cavern Club is filled with Beatles memorabilia and is still a functioning music venue, so make sure to catch a live show here and witness the magic of the club.
You can also book a private Liverpool Beatles tour or try a Liverpool and The Beatles Full-Day Rail tour.

Over the years there have been some amazing Spider-Man artists (see what I did there...the very first sentence and I already had some nice word play). Some of my favorites include Todd McFarlane, Mark Bagley and Steve McNiven: all three have brought unique styling to the web-slinger's design, and not just the in costume Spider-Man penciling. Who can forget McFarlane's classic Peter Parker imagery. McFarlane turned once high-school nerd into James Dean. Peter had a flip in his hair and a sweet leather jacket to give him that sweet late 80's flair.
Spider-Man Sunday - The Amazing Spider-Man #630
Like the great Spider-Man artists of the past, the current Amazing Spider-Man artist is leaving his mark through another excellent comic of the day, The Amazing Spider-Man #630. Chris Bachalo brings an energy to his panels that gives Web's a sense of agility-enhanced movement, humor and fantasy. His costumed Spider-Man is so much fun to see do...anything. He could sit there just staring at a street sign and my eyes would water from lack of blinking.
Speaking of eyes, Bachalo's liberties he takes with reality is what makes the excitement of Spider-Man so wonderful. Spidey's mask is made of cloth and has a set design, yet when Bachalo draws the mask he uses the eyes as if they are actual eyes. They widen when surprised and narrow when Spider-Man ponders something confusing. The give the man in the suit emotion and a physical language which is often hard to utilize when dealing with a masked character.
The over exaggerated style isn't for everyone, though. Some readers like their radioactive spider bitten comic hero to be more realistic. Do not just act the part of a normal person, but also look it. Admittedly, there is a time and place for a subtle style and a time for an over the top turbulent style. Since The Amazing Spider-Man #630 deals with the Lizard, a very agile, aggressive and wild character, Chris Bachalo's art fits in perfectly with the story. As long as the next issue doesn't involve the Lizard and Spider-Man playing chess for panels on end, look for Bachalo's follow-up (ASM #331) to dazzle like a certain washed-up white wear'n woman mutant.

text: I had my Essure procedure done in late 2010 after i had my third child. I was lead to believe it was the best way to go and the best birth control out there. I originally had planned to get my tubes tied but my doctor informed me that with Essure it's a quick recovery and i can take care of my 3 kids while my husband wasn't home with out being in pain. So, with out doing my research, i took it. Now going on 4 years later i regret it with every fiber of my being! I wasn't having any problems at all until about 3 weeks ago. It started with extreme fatigue and went from there, i'm having so many pregnancy symptoms like feeling weird sensations in my pelvic area that are best described as flutters or stretching uterus perhaps? I am going to take a pregnancy test in a couple days and see what the results are. I'm nervous that i might be pregnant but even more nervous that it could be my coils finally starting to bother me. I have had the worst back pain i've ever felt in my life! Essure is NOT worth it, if i could take back the day i got my procedure done i would have ran out of that dr's office!

Today I'm sharing 5 steps to start your own bullet journal, from falling down the YouTube rabbit hole to color-coordination.
On day 15 of the Almost Famous Writer advent calendar I think it's high time to start looking forward to the new year and what immediately comes to my mind (besides stuffing my face with oliebollen on the last day of the year) is a new bullet journal setup for 2019. If you've read my editorials over the past few months, you know that I've been obsessed with bullet journaling and I've absolutely fallen in love with it.
Step 1: Fall down the rabbit hole
Before I started my own bullet journal, I fell into the BuJo rabbit hole at least twice a week. There's so much online content available on bullet journaling, from weekly spreads and monthly setups to meal planning tools and mood trackers. At first I just really enjoyed to watch YouTube videos on bullet journaling, because I find it very relaxing and motivational at the same time to see people drawing and writing and scheduling in their bullet journals. Some of my favourite bullet journal videos to watch on YouTube are from AmandaRachLee and D is for Dazzle.
Step 2: Get yourself a BuJo
Once you've decided you want to take the plunge, it's time to start looking at which bullet journal you actually want to buy. As many tutorials and videos there are out there, as many different bullet journals at different price points are available these days. The Absolute Classic, and the one that I decided to go for, is the Leuchtturm 1917 dotted notebook in the medium size. It's pricier than a lot of other options out there, but I think it's absolutely worth it as I use my bullet journal every single day and I just need it to be sturdy. Plus, I like how the Leuchtturm 1917 bullet journal already includes an index page (so less work for you, yeah!) and the book just falls open very neatly and you don't have to struggle with keeping the pages down when you're working in it. Some more affordable options are available at Kruidvat, Bol.com, Bruna and Etsy.
Step 3: Decide how you want to use your bullet journal
At this point you have all the knowledge and the actual bullet journal, so you're all set to go. Of course you can just go out, try all sort of different things and just see what works for you, but what I found really helpful was to make an inventory (or just a list lol) with elements that I wanted to be in my bullet journal. For example, I really wanted to start mine with a future log, so that I could have an overview of future deadlines, appointments and events. I also knew I wanted to have a more traditional weekly spread so I have a clear overview of everything that is happening, I wanted to movie tracker so I would have an overview of the films and series I've watched in a month and I wanted to place where I could write down my daily to do lists. So once I knew what I wanted out of my bullet journal, I could go crazy on the fun part: color-coordinating, washi taping, drawing and writing.
Step 4: Don't worry
The first two months I included a mood and habit tracker in my monthly set-up, because I wanted to see if I found them useful. But as I was using my bullet journal I realized that I never really used those pages or found it relevant to fill them out. So for me those kind of trackers didn't really work, and I'm sure that if you start with a bullet journal you'll find things that just don't work for you. So here's a tip: don't worry about having this perfect, color-coordinated and Instagram-worthy bullet journal. Just use your bullet journal and see what works for you and what doesn't.
Once I knew what I wanted out of my bullet journal, I could go crazy on the fun part: color-coordinating, washi taping, drawing and writing.
Step 5: Enjoy
Besides making your life more efficient and structured, I think your bullet journal can also make planning your life a lot more fun. What people often say when they see my bullet journal is that taking the time to set up the month with images and stickers and washi tape and glitter is actually less efficient, as I could've used that time to do something more productive. My response would then be that my bullet journal is also a way of relaxing and being creative for me. I love to sit down at the end of every month (or at the beginning of one, let's be honest), think of a theme that I want to use, colors that go with that, search Pinterest for images, and just draw, write and plan in my bullet journal.
So those were the five steps that I took when I started using my bullet journal and I hope that they can help you too when you want to get out of that YouTube rabbit hole and start your own – whether that is just for shits and giggles, to help you plan your time more efficiently or a little bit of both. Keep your eyes peeled for my bullet journal 2019 setup (it's on its way people) in the upcoming few days, and of course for tomorrow's article. Here's a hint: altered carbon.
