Items chosen for purchase
Note: All prices in Australian Dollars
Australian handmade saddles are unique, and Cliff Killeen from the Cliff Killeen Saddlery, Chinchilla in Queensland has developed this uniqueness further in his Maverick saddle: ideal in terms of Australian handmade saddles using only the best materials available.
Post 1985, after Cliff Killeen started manufacturing his own trees, he decided there was room for improvements to the Australian stock saddle.
Having had many years of experience riding horses as well as making saddles, Cliff was of the opinion that there were three major concepts in saddles that had never been combined into one saddle.
The first concept was the wartime army saddle. Although many people claimed the tree used never hurt the horses back, which was later proved to be untrue, the saddle design was very efficient and had a lot of information to give.
The second concept came from the seat in the better dressage saddles. Although not perfect in every application, there was a lot to be learned from it that could be used in other saddles.
The third concept was of course from Australian stock saddles themselves. Whilst unique in the saddle world, combining features from the stock saddle and the wartime army saddle and quality dressage saddles, Cliff created a very specific design. Many years followed with tests and changes made to this unique design until it evolved into an extremely efficient stock saddle: the Maverick.
The Maverick saddle is a combination of proven features and processes developed over generations of saddle makers all over the globe and Cliff confidently offers it as a very desirable Australian stock saddle. Maverick Australian handmade saddles are the closest fitting saddles available anywhere - the stockman will not find a better saddle for his task anywhere.
Other Australian handmade saddles from the Cliff Killeen Saddlery: Campdrafter, Fender, Work saddles

Sermon begins at 28:30
On Thursday, Mother Becca, Deacon Kellie, and I joined many of our sisters and brothers in ordained ministry at All Saint's for the annual service commonly called the Chrism Mass, in which we renew our ordination vows and receive the specially blessed oil used at baptisms. Kellie has a real job, so she had to drive herself back and forth from Leitchfield, but Becca and I rode together and enjoyed a couple of hours to touch base on life and our collective ministry here at Christ Episcopal Church. One of the topics of our conversation was how the lives of associates and rectors are similar and different. There are certain freedoms that are unique to each position, and there are certain limitations that come with each title as well. That conversation got me thinking about how my life has changed in the two-plus years that I've been your rector.
One thing that quickly came to mind is how often I've uttered the phrase, "It's been a week," since leaving Alabama. Sometimes, on only mildly crazy weeks, I'll say it on Thursday. Sometimes, like the week before Holy Week, it is quite possible to hear me say, "It's been a week" at our Monday afternoon staff meeting. It's a feeling I think we can all understand. Whether you are a first-grade student, a tenth-grade teacher, lawyer, nurse, mechanic, priest, or full-time volunteer, some weeks just feel full – as if you'll never stop running from one thing to the next. Sometimes, the only way to describe what you've experienced is "It's been a week."
It's been a week since we began the liturgy for The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday fifteen minutes ago. As we started this service, we recreated liturgically the experience of Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem on Sunday afternoon. Over on the west side of the city, Pilate entered riding a war horse, surrounded by chariots and heavily armed soldiers, hearing shouts of "Hail Caesar, the son of god, the king of kings, and the source of peace" Meanwhile, Jesus entered through the eastern gate, riding a donkey as a rag-tag group of disciples pulled palm branches out of the trees, laid their cloaks on the ground, and cried out, "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!" In that story, we heard clues that this is going to be a week; especially when Luke mentions that some Pharisees had come to see what all the commotion was about. When the Pharisees realized that Jesus' disciples were putting him on par with Caesar, and calling him the Son of God, they got really, really nervous. "Tell them to hush," they begged of Jesus. "If these were silent, even the stones would cry out," Jesus replied. As they say in Lower Alabama, "It's fixin' to be a week."
During the course of the next five days, Jesus went to the Temple and turned over the tables of the money changers. He called out the injustice of the Temple system that was built on the backs of the faithful poor. He answered repeated attempts to challenge his authority. He taught lessons and told parables that directly contradicted with what the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes were trying to accomplish. He lifted up the lowly widow and her two copper coins, while calling into question the large gifts given by those for whom it was less than a drop in the bucket. As each day unfolded, the tension between Jesus and the powers-that-be grew, until finally, they conspired with Judas, one of the twelve, to betray him. With all kinds of false accusations, they attempted to convince Pilate that Jesus needed to be killed, and when the crowd just wouldn't relent, they finally succeeded in having Jesus put to death on a cross as a disgraced revolutionary.
It's been a week. Or, rather, we know it is about to be a week. A full week. A difficult week. A Holy Week. Every day this week, you will have the opportunity to walk the way of the cross with Jesus and one another. It begins at noon, Monday through Thursday, where we will hear from different preachers in different contexts of how the pressure-filled relationship between Jesus and the powers-that-be bubbled and boiled, until it finally came to a head. On Thursday evening, we will hear Jesus once again offer us the new mandate of the Kingdom of God, that we love one another. Through the washing of feet, an act of profoundly humble service, we will re-enact the symbol of the self-sacrificial love that Jesus offered to his disciples, while we also remember the institution of the Lord's Supper as the central act of our devotion. Overnight, members of the congregation will keep watch, like Peter at the charcoal fire, as we wait for Friday, when we will remember the deepest act of love anyone can offer – the laying down of one's life for a friend.
As the lessons for the Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday show us, it'll be a week – a long and challenging week, and yet, it is a week that we ought not skip through just to get to the joy of Easter. There is no Easter without Good Friday. There is no Resurrection without the challenges of Holy Week. And so, we pray that in walking the way of the sorrow, we might find it to be the way of life; that through walking with Jesus toward the cross, we might also share in the resurrection life. It'll be a week, dear friends, but I can't wait to walk it with you. Amen.

Samsung Galaxy S6 & Galaxy S6 Edge – First Impressions with MKBHD
I thought about writing about my first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge, but why reinvent the wheel when I would normally turn to the modern day guru of tech for advice in any case. If you haven't heard of Marques K. Brownlee or his Youtube channel MKBHD, he makes some of the highest quality tech reviews on the planet. The quality of his footage is impeccable and his ability to speak and relate to the common consumer as well as the expert is second to none. He does a great job of summing up all the elements of the new Samsung flagship phones that we'd ever care about and also will help you sound like you know what you're talking about to your friends. Subscribe to his channel for more of these videos.
Bonus Videos!
Shout out to our boys Austin Evans & Jonathan Morrison who reviewed the phones as well.

This summer, your youth will have the opportunity to serve by assisting the Cokes Chapel Childcare Center (CCCC) with "Water Days" throughout the summer. Your youth may select to help any time, June 3rd through July 26th. The CCCC needs volunteers to entertain the kids by playing with them during their water activities. (The teachers do not get wet, so the extra help is needed, and the kids will LOVE having the youth there to get wet and interact with them!) This is an opportunity for our youth to serve others while having fun!
· Dates: Monday-Friday; June 3rd-July 26th
· Times: 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM each day
· Our Goal: for each Youth to sign-up to volunteer for at least
two time slots during the summer (They may certainly sign-up for as many times as they would like; i.e., every Tuesday at 10:00 am, etc.)
· Please let me know by Friday, May 30th if your youth is willing to volunteer and if so, what dates and times.
I am looking forward to spending time with your youth this summer! I know that through our time together that God will continue to grow us in relationship with both God and one another. I am sure that this summer will be a special time when many memories are made, and many relationships are deepened. Thank you!

TWO IMPORTANT CHURCH DECISIONSCokes Chapel continues to grow and respond to the best ways to serve you! Recently Finance recognized the need to have an accountant review and manage our bookkeeping and financial records. Finance requested Staff Parish Committee (SPR) to research, create a job description and search for the right person to fill this job. Church Council received the proposal from SPR to hire a Treasurer and make changes in Office Administrator job for approval on Wednesday, May 29. We welcome the following: 1) Marcia Smith, accountant, will be our Treasurer, managing Quick books, paying bills and other impacting financial business. Marcia's experience includes currently working with our Child Care Center, with a good overview of our system which will make our transition easier.2) Gail Stone will continue to be our Office Administrator, handling the bulletins, communications and inquiries that come to Cokes Chapel. Gail appreciates the change and has willingly agreed to shorten her hours so that we can accommodate hiring Marcia.3) The impact for church and community: Beginning Monday, June 10, office hours will be Monday thru Wed., 10-2 pm. This may impact your accessibility and inquiries, so we ask that you make the needed adjustments to your expectations for answers, reservations, etc. By lessening office hours/pay for Office Admin., we are able to hire Marcia without an increase to our bottom line on the budget. We appreciate the hard work that both Finance and SPR did to assist us in bringing our administrative practices in line with the needs of the church. Your understanding, as we make adjustments will be greatly appreciated! Blessings and all good things are from God!Peace,Pastor Lisa

We're going on vacation! This is a thing that not everyone can do, but everyone deserves—so consider this your friendly reminder to help shift the culture by taking a break of your own!
- Take a Break: The Importance of Rest and Relaxation
- Understand the Hidden Costs of Travel and Avoid Them Like the Plague
- Workplace Benefits and Other Cool Side Effects of Employment
- Ask the Bitches: "How Do I Protect My Own Mental Health While Still Helping Others?"
We would never leave our beloved Bitch Nation with nothing to do for two weeks. So it's our royal duty to leave you with some entertaining and enlightening FREE content while we go do internet-grandma vacation things. Like gardening and criticizing television shows made for a much younger demographic.
That's why we're highlighting some of our favorite podcasts, in both money-related and non-money-related categories. Because you know what I won't be doing for the next two weeks? Listening to any of the money podcasts. Sorry about it. When I'm off, I'm off!
So: what kinda podcast would you like to listen to?
Our Five Favorite Serious-Business Money Podcasts
If you answered…
"I want to hear some snappy stories about financial news and the economy, and I want it to be informative, but kinda light, with no big, anxiety-inducing bummers."
We answer…
Planet Money
Length: 10-30 minutes
This twice-weekly NPR podcast was started in late 2008, after the financial crisis casually knee-capped the American public. "What the fuck!" we all cried. "What happened to my knees!?" Planet Money was there to help explain economic issues in plain language with engaging, almost hand-holding stories. And they've been there ever since! This is a no-brainer, especially if you have money in the market and need help understanding what's causing your investments to go up and down. (Just assume it's China. The answer is probably always China.)
If you answered…
"I want to hear cerebral, science-driven deep-dives into socioeconomic topics that make me sound freaking smart when I talk about them at a party."
We answer…
Freakonomics Radio
Length: 45 minutes – 1 hour
The Steves (Journalist Stephen Dubner and economist Steven Levitt) use research, data, and expert interviews to upend some pretty fundamental misconceptions about the way our world works. Some are social ("Are the Rich Really Less Generous Than the Poor?"), some are political ("How Much Does the President Really Matter?"), some are hypothetical ("Would a Big Bucket of Cash Really Change Your Life?") and some are deliciously petty ("Do More Expensive Wines Taste Better?"). I whip the shit I learn on Freakonomics out here all the time, and people assume I know what day of the week it is. And I totally do. Ignore the fact that last Thursday's post went up on Friday. Ignore it, I say!
If you answered…
"I want to hear candid, vulnerable, deeply personal stories on the kinds of topics that people don't traditionally talk about."
We answer…
Death, Sex, & Money
Length: 20-40 minutes
Exactly what's on the box. Anna Sale is a fantastic interviewer. My favorite part of the show is when someone says something really, really rough, and Anna makes a "hmm" or an "oh" sound that is just brimming with sympathy and compassion. I want to make a sound board out of those noises, and play them to self-soothe. (Hi, I'm not a creep!) Our readers will enjoy her series on class ("Opportunity Costs: Money and Class in America") and student loans ("Our Student Loan Secrets").
If you answered…
"I want to hear someone who's super accessible explaining wait-but-why money topics for young people and the young at heart, but by 'young,' I might mean 'socialist.'"
We answer…
Bad With Money with Gaby Dunn
Length: 1 hour
Gaby's third season is about to wrap up, and she knocked it out of the goddamn park this year. Really interesting interviews on topics that are urgently important to young people. Unlike almost all of the other podcasts featured here, Dunn is not an expert in this field. This makes her show incredibly accessible. There is nothing I love better than hearing a brainy five-degree policy wonk explain how some major system works, only to have Gaby burst out with "But that seems sooooo messed up!" Said wonk, in response, almost always becomes electrified. "I know, isn't it!? That's why I research this!" You can't get such clear, passionate interviews any other way.
Also we were on one episode. "Oh, so you just want to suck up to Gaby because she had you on her show, eh?" False. We just told you: we were already on her show. That means she's the only one on this list we aren't sucking up to! It's actual, factual radio gold.
If you answered…
"I want to hear inspiring, accessible career and wealth management advice from awesome women of color who know exactly what is going on."
We answer…
Brown Ambition
Length: 45 minutes
A lot of the podcasts up to this point talk about "big picture" economic and finance topics. But Tiffany "The Budgetnista" Aliche and Mandi Woodruff of MagnifyMoney host a weekly discussion on a wide range of topics that feel bite-sized, actionable, and inspirational. The hosts are honest, engaging, deeply knowledgeable, and have great chemistry. I would not describe this show as "only" for women of color (I'm white!) but it's likely particularly refreshing and validating to young women who have a hard time connecting with the Dave Ramsay set.
Our Five Favorite Unserious, Nonbusiness, Fun Podcasts
If you answered…
"I want to hear fascinating, original af documentary-style storytelling while also experiencing some ASMR tingles."
We answer…
Length: 20-40 minutes
Phoebe Judge has the radio voice I affect for five minutes before getting tired and reverting back to my brassy Midwestern realness. This impeccably-produced podcast examines crime from an anthropological perspective. The crimes discussed can be anything: a wrongful conviction, a runaway slave, vandalized ancient trees, a stolen pedigree poodle. Some episodes are funny, some terrifying, some heartbreaking—but the quality is always impeccable.
If you answered…
"I want to hear someone else in therapy, because I want to get better at understanding myself and others, or at least that's what I tell myself. Really I'm just shamefully nosy."
We answer…
Where Should We Begin?
Length: 1 hour
Guys… let Esther Perel into your heart. Listen well as this compassionate genius counsels anonymous couples through one-time sessions on fascinating topics. This is one of the rare podcasts I will listen to twice. I am not ashamed to admit that sometimes I make my husband listen to part of an episode so we can pause and Monday morning quarterback the whole thing. (I'm looking at you, guy who refuses to become friends with anyone he isn't sexually attracted to. YES, THAT WAS A REAL THING!) It's entertaining, intimate, and incredibly enlightening.
If you answered…
"I want the sweet, cathartic release of listening to two average feminists rant to each other about the patriarchy while defining terms we take for granted in our rigid social structure and occasionally breaking into song."
We answer…
Length: wildly inconsistent
In my head, Riley and Nicole are the big sisters I never had (even though I'm pretty sure they're younger than we are), gently taking me under their collective wing to let me know that a) this sexism stuff is not all just in my head, b) there is still much to learn and we could all stand to treat each other better, c) it's hard out there for a Hag… or a Bitch for that matter, and d) rats are actually pretty cool. Their conversational style and occasional interjections by token human male Alex make for a delightful and hilarious romp through the words we never think about in conjunction with feminism… and why we really should.
If you answered…
"I want to hear the sound of sitting in a friend's living room, eating junk food, shitting on something that deserves to be shat on, but it's not too rough or mean, more Parks & Rec than 30 Rock, and also there's a cat."
We answer…
The Worst Bestsellers
Length: 1 hour – 90 minutes
A gently rollicking review of terrible books that somehow manage to sell well, hosted by Ravenclaw Kait and Hufflepuff Renata. They cover every genre, from James Patterson to Stephanie Meyer. The tone is chatty and super casual—Renata's cat Duarte makes frequent cameos, howling his opinions in the background. One longstanding segment pits The Rock against Wolverine in a fan fiction battle to see who could most improve the book, which is… important. If you love books, and you love hating things that suck, you need Worst Bestsellers in your life.
If you answered…
"I want to hear compelling true crime storytelling that doesn't glorify violence or commodify victims."
We answer…
Length: 1-2 hours
I've been on a true crime spree lately (reading about them—not committing them). But I really struggle to find true crime podcasts that handle the subject matter responsibly. What I enjoy about true crime is the hunt and the chase; I am emphatically not entertained by the raped/mutilated bodies of women (or children) or ugly simplifications of mental illness.
Other podcasts had a bizarrely upbeat tone I found to be completely fucking disrespectful to the real victims of these crimes. Some blatantly admired themselves as producers of this content. I tried to listen to Sword and Scale, and was completely revolted by the host reading breathless fan mail for his own show in-between salacious descriptions of the rape of a child. I was not even mildly surprised to hear he's since made himself unpopular by being both a judgmental asshole and a pervy creeper.
That's why I fucking love Casefile. The anonymous Australian host consistently delights me with detailed, tension-filled stories that focus on the "good" parts of true crime: communities coming together to seek justice for the wronged. He humanizes the victims—tells us about who they were, what they liked, how their friends described them. If victims were sex workers, or drug addicts, or mentally ill people, the host lets that information be casual and secondary. It's a really, really respectful way of handling an inherently problematic genre.
Other true crime podcasts are all like "this unsuspecting prostitute had her head cut off with a machete, go to our website for photographs of the crime scene, and pick up some merch while you're there!" I'm not here for it. If you need a true crime fix, ethically source that shit.
That's it, y'all! We'll be back in two weeks. Please remember us the way we want to be remembered: shipwrecked with coconuts for bras.

Å℘◎ṧт◎ℓḯḉ Їη☂℮ґρґℯ⊥α☂☤☺η :
"20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God." (1 John 3:20-21).
These above verses shows that even though we are born again as God's child, Satan can condemn us through our soulish thoughts if we are not grounded in the word of God. But God reassures us that the redemption price that has been paid by Jesus to buy us all back from sin and condemnation is so perfect, that we should be wise enough to trust God through His word and reject the condemnation of the devil which will always makes us ineffective in our service towards God and men if we allow it to control us. Confess your sins the moment you know that you have sinned and believe that the moment you have confessed it, all your sins have been forgiven by God and that you are cleansed from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). When you believe God's word like a child, Satan and his minions can never be able to defeat you in your spiritual life. EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY WITH NEW MERCIES OF GOD RELEASED AFRESH IN TO YOUR LIFE, RECEIVE IT WITH THANKFULNESS AND DO NOT ALLOW THE SOULISH CONDEMNATION OF THE DEVIL TO SPOIL YOUR DAY. Resist the devil in faith and he will run away from you (James 4:7). If we do not allow ourselves to get condemned by our lack of faith, we will have the confidence that God is always working for us and not against us in any way (Rom 8:31). Blessed Time!

Gödel's First Incompleteness Theorem
Any adequate axiomatisable theory is incomplete. In particular the sentence "This sentence is not provable" is true but not provable in the theory.
Gödel's Second Incompleteness Theorem
In any consistent axiomatisable theory (axiomatisable means the axioms can be computably generated) which can encode sequences of numbers (and thus the syntactic notions of "formula", "sentence", "proof") the consistency of the system is not provable in the system.

Album Reviews
Check out All That Remains' 2006 album "The Fall Of Ideals" and you'll hear a very pissed off metalcore band. Listen to 2008's "Overcome" and you'll find a more accessible sound that lacks a little in intensity. Now get a load of "For We Are Many", a solid mix between the first two All That Remains albums.
There's some fine shredding going on in this batch of songs where they combine melodic death metal and hardcore in a way that is not all that different from what Killswitch Engage is doing. Hell, vocalist Labonte even stepped in for Howard Jones on a recent tour and Adam Dutkiewicz produced "For We Are Many". Need more similarities? Double bass drumming, very heavy parts versus more melodic bits and plenty of screaming juxtaposed against clean vocals. It's all present and accounted for.
Is there a downside? Yes, there is. There is not a whole lot of variation going on in this album and the same can actually be said about the whole genre. All That Remains is definitely good at what they do but it's all been done before countless times. And then some.

In 1066, Duke William acted with the surety of someone who believed in what he was doing. To take such a big risk, he must have had good reason. William did not have a drop of royal blood in him, and his relationship to King Edward was a bit convoluted; Queen Emma, Edward's mother, was his great-aunt. There were closer blood-ties to the English throne than his. So his claim must have relied on Edward's alleged promise. Interestingly, this claim comes almost exclusively from the Norman chroniclers; the English chroniclers are silent on the subject. That in itself is enough to raise some eyebrows. Or is it?Share
Much of the argument is based on whether Duke William crossed the Channel and visited King Edward while the Godwine clan was in exile. Florence of Worcester, writing a half century later, states that he did. Modern historians seem to conclude that this was unlikely, as William was still probably fighting to secure his own throne. Of course, this visit or non-visit would determine whether William's claim was first-hand or second-hand. Did Edward personally declare William his heir, or did the announcement come through Archbishop Robert of Jumièges?
There is a reference that a grateful Edward, still in exile, promised William the crown in their younger days. I think we can safely discard this one, since Edward was about 25 years older than William. It has been suggested that Edward was throwing around promises of succession (kind of like Elizabeth I and promises of marriages). If Duke William did visit England in 1052, it is possible that Edward, cocky after having rid himself of the troublesome Godwines, was asserting his will. Maybe he meant it, maybe he didn't. Surely Edward knew he didn't have the right to give away his crown; that decision was made by the Witan. (Read more.)

I've been working on a painting that requires a sketch, a plan, and a color scheme! Here's a pretty little picture of things to come...:)
Sometimes I like to jump right-in on a painting without a sketch..and I can see the finished piece in my mind! Sometimes, I the finished product totally surprises me...in a great way. :) How about you? Are you a planner or spontaneous? Or maybe a fabulous mix of both!

October 19, 2018
The Growth Fund has made several preferred equity investments such as our Park Blvd multi-family project, Goshen (student housing) and Felspar (Pacific Beach condos), along with a small investment in Granito Drive. We are currently performing due diligence on several multi-family value add deals and have recently made two offers on multi-family deals and are waiting to see if our offers are successful in the bidding process.
Park Blvd is moving along while the 2nd permit for the wood frame is still being processed at the city. We are expecting final bids from all the general contractors this week and will be making our final decision on the team that we will be working with shortly. The architect is finalizing the interior finish package for the property. We are aiming to start demolition before the end of the year so that we are able to start foundation construction in early 2019 once the wood frame permit is secured.
Project Stage: Pre-Construction. Foundation Building Permit Obtained. Wood Frame Permit in Progress.
The Granito site is moving along and we have 31 shoring piles that have now been drilled, each 75 feet deep with concrete back-fill in place. This past month, the builder team has been implementing soil erosion controls to deal with any slope runoff during the rainy season. There has been a major foundation revision from the Roman James team that we have submitted to the city that will save a significant amount of money. We expect approval without issue as we start the second phase of grading and shoring piles.
Project Stage: Construction.
Two units are now in 9 month leases at the property in addition to one of the units continuing to run as a vacation rental to maximize rental returns. We have achieved our Right of Way permit in order to add a third water meter which is going to allow us to finish up the condo mapping process. We are looking forward to having this completed and realizing a maximized upside for the sale of the condominium units as an investment property.
Project Stage: Completed and Cash flowing.
The front unit is under contract to close in November. Interest in the Felspar properties has been very high with what our agents believe is higher than normal traffic through the properties. The properties are receiving a lot of compliments and we are confident that we will be able to get the back unit under contract by the end of the year.
Project Stage: Completed and on Market.

8 Things You Should Know About The Return Of "Cosmos"
Carl Sagan's iconic science show is back with Neil deGrasse Tyson at the helm. And it is awesome.
1. Neil deGrasse Tyson first met Carl Sagan as a teenager in 1975.
2. Seth McFarlane is secretly a bit of a science geek.
3. McFarlane even lends his voice to some of the historical scientific 'heroes' in the programme.
4. Two asteroids named after Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan are locked in perpetual "wedding-ring" orbit around the sun.
Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan met while working on the Voyager Golden Record – a message humanity sent to the stars, filled with music and greetings from around the world. They later married and worked together on the first series of Cosmos that aired on PBS in 1980.
Sagan died in 1996. When Druyan, who is writer and executive producer of the series, decided to reboot Cosmos for a new generation, Tyson really was the only choice for presenter. "It would have been unthinkable to do it with anyone but Neil," she says.

Five pals aged between 16 and 18 were all taken to hospital following the attack at Ockenden station in Essex in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Lee Elliott, 17, may permanently lose the sight in his left eye and one other teenager suffered potentially life-changing injuries.
Another friend was also treated for horrific injuries to his mouth and tongue.

New update for today. This one was commissioned by evilhero2517 and features their character Alison (whom we met before) interacting with some of the girls of Intrigue3D. Alison always wanted to work with the girls, so once she was invited to a guest shoot she naturally obliged. She was a little starstruck at first, seeing Lana, Krissy and the others. But once she got to know them, she felt more comfortable and thought she could impress them with some of her skills. She showed Cindy her fingering skills, making her cum a lot. She gave Krissy analingus, licking her asshole to such perfection. She gave Kiara a footjob, which Kiara thoroughly enjoyed while licking Alison's own ass. And she sucked on Lana, which Lana couldn't help but do the same to her. After all that, the girls decided to give Alison one last moment by having all five pose for the camera as a keepsake for Alison. Maybe we'll see Alison again in the future. Enjoy!

The model's creator is working on npcs, as well as some fixes on chars models.
I'll update this post when the new fix patch is up
Edited: October 30, 2016
Dunno what exactly is the content of F and G patches. I bet G is for new mount's models and F for new creature's models. Saying this because G is "only" 60mb.
UPDATE: New Patch A with new character models and hybrid new npcs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzy...RMVDdURjA/view
You only need to download it, unzip it, and copy-paste the file into WoW Data folder.
Patch B must be deleted from Data folder
Do they work alongside the WoD models or do I need an original client ? I tried installing some of the patches, but they cause some funny face glitches for almost every class.
EDIT : NP. Everything works fine. And it's ... AWESOME.
Edited: November 2, 2016
Nope, they will not work with wod models. But you don't need to download another client, simply follow these steps
1.) Goto WoW directory, open Data folder, delete "patch-w.mpq"
2.) Open enUS file inside Data folder, delete "patch-enUS-w.mpq"
3.) Put Patch A and patch B (for char models) into Data folder
If u don't want to mess with your existing client, make a copy of the entire wow folder and use one of the wow folder for installing these models
@Helzing Yeah characters are quite flawless, if u find something strange, you can report it here (I will report it in Modcraft)
Edited: November 2, 2016
I've been leveling my Hunter using these new models and I encountered many NPC that cause a client crash upon taking or turning a quest in. (One of them being the Stable master in Dolanaar). I suspect there might be many other buggy NPCs of that sort.

With a kidney transplant behind her, Avery Adams is determined to channel her inner adventurer and explore everything life has to offer. Only problem is, the closest she's ever come to a real-life adventure was sixth-grade science camp. So to seize the summer in her rustic Sierra Nevada town, she takes a job as a guide at the local adventure lodge. But Avery doesn't realize her biggest challenge will register at six-plus feet of rugged good looks and alpha-male charm.
As a member of the Sequoia Elite Mountain Rescue team, Tyson Donovan has made a life out of cheating death and rescuing weekend warriors from the treacherous terrain. "The world is my home" is more than just a motto; it's what scares off women who would otherwise try to tie him down. When his dad's health lands the family's adventure lodge in serious danger of going up in flames, he moves home—and quickly remembers why he left. Until he meets Avery, the irresistible new guide who makes him want to stay.
Tyson gives the inexperienced Avery a lesson in romance that her books could never teach her. And with her undeniable spirit for life, Avery shows Tyson the healing power of love. But with one misstep, everything comes crashing down, and they'll both have to take the biggest leap of all—into the kind of adventure that lasts a lifetime.
Avery was breathing heavy. He could see the pulse beat at the base of her neck as clearly as the hesitation in her eyes. Oh yeah, Little Miss Live Loud might pretend to be all fearless and devil-may-care, but being impulsive wasn't her normal MO.
Ty was a ninja at making rapid assessments of subjects. A skill that had saved his ass too many times to count. Being able to size up a person's nature and accurately predict their next reaction in a matter of seconds was crucial when hanging from a chopper and looking down at the rough waters of the Pacific with a terrified and often irrational subject in tandem. And Avery was about as close to being a balls-out kind of person as she was to being a princess.
So he decided to call her bluff. "So this living loud thing—I don't buy it."
She didn't back down and didn't lean away; instead, she zeroed in on his mouth and said, "I'd like to prove you wrong."
Being wrong went against Ty's nature. Always right and never in doubt had saved hundreds of lives. But if the determined heat in her pretty blue pools were anything to go on, Ty would be willing to man up and admit defeat this one time. Because he'd bet that being on the losing side of this discussion would taste like heaven.
Only Harris, the slowest bartender in town, chose that moment to tap into his super speed and reappeared with their drinks in record time.
He cleared his throat, and when Ty made eye contact, his good old cuz was looking back with a grin that made Ty want to punch him in the throat. "Here're your drinks."
"Thank you." Unabashed, Avery beamed up at Harris and then pointed to her Shirley Temple. "That's not for me, it's for him," she said, turning those pearly whites Ty's way. "For him to drink while he's making me my crown. So can you put an extra cherry in it and an umbrella? A pink one?"
Harris choked on a laugh. Not that it stopped him from reaching under the bar and placing a prissy pink umbrella right in the center of Ty's drink. "He offered to make you a crown?"
"Yes, he did, for after I ride Widow Maker and am crowned princess for the day."
"Although I'd pay good money to see ham-hands there craft you a crown, Widow Maker's incapacitated at the moment."
Avery looked toward the big pen in the corner, covered with red mats and a giant yellow OUT OF SERVICE sign, and her smile dulled.
"What happened?" Ty asked, willing to call in a favor to get Widow Maker back in the ring if it meant he could watch Avery give him hell.
"Ladies' night and seniors' Shot4Shot landed on the same Wednesday. Had to call in the sheriff." Harris shivered. "Got a cleaning crew coming in later this week, so he'll be back to business as usual by the weekend."
"Bummer." She sounded genuinely disappointed. "I guess my coronation will have to wait."
"The night is just getting started," Ty said. "Tons of time to live loud."
Avery turned around and met Ty's gaze, and hot damn, he didn't know what was on her mind, didn't care.
She gave one tug at his shirt collar, and their lips collided, hard and with heat, and he was game for whatever she had planned. Because if this was what living loud tasted like, then he wanted a second helping. Not only did Avery pull him close enough to smell the evening chill on her skin, she pressed her mouth to his in a kiss that was so unexpected it had every part of him begging to take the leap.
Because right there, beneath the flashing neon BUZZ SAW BROWN ALE sign and in front of Harris and half the town, Avery Adams, adventure coordinator, kissed him. And holy hell, the woman could kiss.
It started out slow, and a brush of air escaped her mouth, as if she'd surprised herself. There was a warmth, then a heat, and finally those lips of hers parted, ever so briefly, in a move that was as seductive as it was addictive. And just when Ty was about to go in for a second taste, she lifted her head and smiled.
It wasn't smug or wicked, like he'd expect, but sunny and a bit giddy. As if she was delighted with herself. He wanted to keep the get-to-know-you party going, but then Harris laughed, and he realized that a public venue wasn't the place.

adidas releases Mesut Ozil film to support red limit collection launch
- Herzogenaurach
- Mesut Ozil features in new brand film to launch Red Limit Collection
- Industry-leading BOOST technology features in brand new ACE 17+ PURECONTROL Silo
- Collection available in Stadium, Cage and an all new Street version from 22nd November
adidas Football has today released a brand film starring German playmaker Mesut Ozil to support the launch of its new Red Limit collection. The Red Limit Collection features the new ACE17+ PURECONTROL which introduces industry-leading BOOST technology for the first time in a football boot.
Mesut Ozil has been in fine form this season, but in the film, he encourages young footballers to express themselves and forge their own path, rather than try and follow his. In response to his skills, tricks and assists, the voiceover in the film – delivered from the point of view of a young aspiring football fan – defiantly tells Ozil he doesn't want to be anything like him, he just wants his boots.
The ACE 17+ PURECONTROL is part of the Red Limit Collection, which also features street and cage versions of each silo. Ozil will wear the ACE 17+ PURECONTROL on-pitch from today.
The film is available at: https://youtu.be/HmtRqEQoE4Q

9 Ways On How To Prepare For Bengal Cat Breeders Southern California | Bengal Cat Breeders Southern California
Bengal Cat Breeders Southern California
– One very important aspect to consider in buying a Bengal cat is the actual cost. Well, if you would like to have a Bengal into your house, you should really well know it is a rare breed. With rarity comes the high price, and that means you ought to anticipate that a Bengal cat could price from 500 USD to about 5,000 USD, based on what Bengal quality you would like.
Pet quality Bengals price 500-1,000 USD as a breeder or show quality Bengal might price from 1,500-5,000 USD (reveal Bengals could be expensive depending on the breeder).
Aside from the actual purchase of this Bengal, you should also observe the basic expenses in keeping or maintaining it. Here are some considerations so that You Might Have an Notion of how much a Bengal may price:
It actually makes a difference especially in the event that you lose your kitty by opportunity. Embedding a microchip into your cat can cost you 50 USD.
Sterilization (spaying/neutering)
On the flip side, sterilization of your Bengal cat may cost you essentially 100 USD if you need it done n your healthy kitten. Sterilizing your Bengal can cost up to 200 USD if your kitty has complications. Bengal Cat Breeders Southern California
The price of the breeder cat foods changes from time to time, depending on the purchase price of raw materials. You should keep yourself updated with all the price variations in your community grocery store.
Medical maintenance
Vet care and vaccines should be considered as well. This may also include potential emergency care, hospitalization, supplements, and other medications. This is a really important element in determining how far a Bengal could purchase. Vaccinations cost 50-70 USD, while flea and de-worming drugs cost 20 USD.
Insuring your Bengal cat might genuinely help you in the total medical cost to becoming you reunited with your Bengal (if ever you lost it). Adding this in your Bengal budget is a must.

The sum of money required in obtaining a Bengal cat also depends on where you are going to get your own Bengal. If you decide to get your cat from a reputable breeder, you should be preparing a bigger amount. But if you're likely to get your Bengal cat from a rescue center, it will only cost you a lot less since you will be adopting the cat. Nevertheless, you still need to consider the costs in keeping your Bengal cat.

If you're contemplating proposing to your significant other, firstly, congratulations! This is a huge step, and a pretty big decision to make not just for you, but for them as well. You are making a move towards marriage, which is the ultimate commitment between two people who love each other. Needless to say, you want it to be perfect. And a core part of a proposal as we all know, is of course the ring. Much as you might find the whole thing frustrating, you know it must be done, and so begins the journey of ring picking. Hopefully with these tips, you would be able to do a better job than Phoebe and Chandler did with his engagement ring in FRIENDS!
Decide On the Shape
Instead of finding out the hard way about the many different styles and cuts of rings when you go shopping, why not research about it in advance? You will save yourself many hours of endless walking and searching, not to mention ripping your hair out in frustration. Hop on Google, and thoroughly study the different types of rings, and then try to get hints from your partner about which they are most partial to. Done right, you are bound to get a response, and then you can take it from there. Remember, you are trying to identify what shape of stone you are looking for not the cut.
Identify Her Style
Different people have different styles, and the same applies when it comes to selecting a proper ring whether you are shopping for the best engagement rings Melbourne or elsewhere. It might be tough to figure it out at first, but if you pay attention, you will soon be able to pick up on clues. For instance, are they more a white gold/ silver/ platinum kind of person, or into yellow gold? Do they prefer chunky jewellery or sleeker, classic pieces instead? There is no right or wrong, just personal taste that you need to be mindful of. Of course nowadays, modern couples shop together for rings, but if you like an element of tradition and would prefer to surprise, you would need all the information you can get.
Choose the Right Metal
This is going to be rather pesky, but it is important. You see, some people are allergic to certain types of metals, and the last thing you want is to give them an allergic reaction after the proposal. So in such instances, you have to consider both style and safety. Platinum as it turns out, is a popular choice because of its durability and purity, which makes it a great choice for those with sensitive skin. There are types of metal too obviously, but in this case what matters is which gives the least trouble health wise.
Stick to Your Budget
What good is it giving an iceberg sized diamond if it is going to set you back the next 6 months? If the size of the diamond is going to be an issue, then you should probably not be marrying this person in the first place. Stick to your budget. That way, you know what to look for, and not break the bank in the process. If you do not get a good deal at the first place, keep looking. You need not settle for the first one you come across.

Alight, a leading materials and components manufacturer in China, today announced that the company succeeded in developing a DOB (Driver on Board) LED module whose convenience and performance have sharply improved.
Alight's 3-200W DOB LED.
The early stage of AC Direct modules integrated a current-controlling driver IC in the module which controls the current and voltage, but it has difficulty of the detailed and stable power source management. The DOB LED module integrated the power supply on its board. So you can use simply this module for indoor lighting. Further, it can implement the function of dimming, and also provides efficacy of 100-140lm/W.
The LED industry believed that, if the driver is integrated into the LED module, the heat from the led chipand the driver would be transferred to the whole module, reducing the stability and efficiency of the lighting and decreasing its lifespan.
Alight AC COB, however, developed its proprietary circuit design technology and heat-sink design to improve product performance and lifespan up to 50,000 hours.

I have many duplicate files on my computer. I downloaded "Easy Duplicate Finder" but it only deletes a few files. To delete the other duplicates, I have to purchase the software.
My laptop is really slow and I think it's because the hard drive is almost full. I need to get rid of these duplicates that are taking up space on my hard drive. What free software is there to do the job?

Many cities require native dwelling enchancment corporations to be bonded in order that householders are protected. In my very personal excessive-faculty yearbook, House Enchancment was eternally immortalized as the favorite TELEVISION present of graduating seniors, three years in a row. When comparing charges among the identical merchandise you'll find at Lowes and their rivalry, I've discovered very little distinction. If the product or the installation ever fails to satisfy throughout the size of the warranty, Paradise Dwelling Improvement will make it right.
Granny flats are an increasingly in style dwelling enchancment challenge for homeowners in Perth, and with good cause. ReStores sell new and gently-used home enchancment goods, furnishings, house equipment, constructing supplies and appliances to the general public at a fraction of the retail value. Since, these are the individuals who often come from the lower strata of society, they can hardly ever afford the cost of dwelling enchancment. Be a part of as a borrower and we'll stroll you through your entire process of getting a house enchancment mortgage.
Whether or not you search for kitchen countertop supplies on-line or in one among your native residence improvement shops, there's a good likelihood that you will come across a wide selection of materials, all with different designs and styles. At the time, I despaired, it appeared House Improvement was destined to be the defining comedy of our dumb period.
The media, society, feminists and each lady you already know could be throughout your case for even suggesting that a lady wants improvement. Banks may additionally be even more cautious of lending money for important residence enchancment projects, especially if lack of shopper confidence results in a fall in house costs. While not all layouts have an applicable area for this dwelling enchancment challenge, the biggest challenge is securing the anchor point within the ceiling. An evaluation of Dwelling Depot's relation to the home improvement retail business, Home Depot seems to be doing well. HubPages is a group of people such as you that care about sharing data in matters reminiscent of Dwelling , Green Residence Enchancment , Interior Paint & Stain , Window Enhancements Nothing makes Hubbers as comfortable as a brand new visitor enjoying their articles.
Gulfport Dwelling Enchancment is an professional in lots of tough, hard to mend home methods that a lot of different residential service suppliers draw back from. The TradesNetwork is a website that introduces individuals with their dwelling and enterprise enchancment projects to local contractors and tradesmen who have been rated and really useful by others. However seriously, this is a wonderful hub to actually inspire some house improvement projects.

On 20th July 2007, Flexopack S.A. acquired 75% of the Polish company Fescopack Sp. z o.o.
The Company is located in Malbork of Poland, in the region of Gdansk, and owns land, buildings and machinery. The location is ideal in terms of geography and apart from quick service of the Polish market, allows direct access and service to all neighboring markets (Russia, Ukraine, and Germany) which are of particular interest because of their development for Flexopack.
In 2015 the Company changed its name from Fescopack Sp. z o.o to Flexopack Polska Sp. z o.o. The above amendment was decided on the basis of naming the companies of the Group on a similar manner and therefore making them more recognizable.
Flexopack Polska Sp. z o.o. is engaged in the production and sale of high barrier shrink bags and other flexible packaging materials.
In 2013, Fescopack Sp. Zoo increased its share capital at the amount of PLN 14,7 million (approximately EUR 3,5 million), which was fully covered by Flexopack S.A. increasing this way its participation in the share capital of Fescopack Sp. z o.o. to 97.86 %.
In 2016 another share capital increase took place amounting to PLN 4,4 million (approximately EUR 1,02 million) and the participation of Flexopack S.A. increased to 98.32%.
On 19th October 2017, Flexopack S.A. proceeded with the purchase of six hundred eighty eight (688) common shares of the subsidiary company Flexopack Polska Sp. z o.o, corresponding to 1,68% of the paid in share capital for a total consideration of PLN 344 thousand (approximately Euro 81 thousand). Following this acquisition, Flexopack S.A. became the sole shareholder of the subsidiary company.
Flexopack S.A. proceeded on 12th May 2010 in establishing the Company Flexosystems Ltd Belgrade, based in Belgrade, Serbia, with the objective of distribution, promotion and marketing of all products manufactured and marketed by the Group FLEXOPACK into the growing Serbian market.
This action is part of the company's strategy to further expand its global distribution network of products.
The Company is a 100% subsidiary of Flexopack S.A.
The establishment of Flexosystems Ltd Belgrade fully serves Group's strategic planning for the selective strengthening of distribution network and expand its operations in the geographic markets of Balkans.
Flexopack International Limited was established on 13th of October 2014, in Larnaka, Cyprus. The Company is a Holding Company and is a 100% shareholder of Flexopack PTY Ltd, Flexopack Properties Ltd and Flexopack Trade and Services UK Ltd.
Flexopack PTY Ltd was established on 20th October 2014, in Brisbane, Australia and is engaged in the processing of flexible plastic packaging products and their wholesale distribution to Australia. Those products are mainly high barrier packaging films intended for food packaging products and especially products from the meat, dairy, seafood and poultry industry.
The Company is a 100% immediate subsidiary of Flexopack International Limited.
The Company was strategically established in Australia according to the Group's intention to further enhance the supply chain in Australia and New Zealand and to expand the Group's presence internationally in markets showing a significant growth potential.
Flexopack Trade and Services UK Limited was established on 20th November 2014 and is operating as a wholesale distributor of food packaging products in UK. Company's office is at London, U.K.
The Company is a 100% immediate subsidiary of Flexopack International Limited.
The Company was established in the context of the Group's intention to further enhance the supply chain in the United Kingdom and Ireland and to expand the Group's presence abroad by upgrading the local distribution and service channel and taking advantage of the unique properties found exclusively in Flexopack products.
Flexopack NZ Ltd was established on 25th October 2016, in Auckland, New Zealand and is engaged in the wholesale distribution of Flexopack products to New Zealand. Those products are mainly high barrier packaging films intended for food packaging products and especially products from the meat, dairy, seafood and poultry industry.

The Company is a 100% immediate subsidiary of Flexopack PTY Ltd.
Flexopack Properties PTY was established on 14th November 2017, in Brisbane, Australia.
The company currently does not have any commercial activity and the reason for establishing the particular legal entity is explained by the intention of the Group to expand its current manufacturing activity in Australia. The Company has already purchased a piece of land in the suburb of Yatala and manufacturing facilities will be built in the near future.
The Company is a 100% immediate subsidiary of Flexopack International Limited.

In this article we provide a quick summary of the key types of consumer co-creation research, and an overview of some of their main strengths and weaknesses. In Part 2 we show you how to choose the right type of consumer co-creation methodology for your brand, innovation or NPD challenge.
By consumer co-creation we mean methods that involve your consumer or end user in developing ideas and concepts. So we are not including working with suppliers, internal colleagues, experts, or leading edge users AKA "1% ers" (see our article on Real vs Leading Edge Consumers if you're interested in this).
We have also concentrated on qual. and quali-quant. research methods, at the exclusion of quant., as this is where the ability to truly co-create lies.
1. Social media
Use of your existing social media platforms to talk to your already engaged consumers about your products/services. Involves posing questions and starting debates on topics of interest. Tends to be a simple question and response dynamic.
- Cheap, quick, easy
- Capitalise on goodwill of brand aficionados
- Can achieve some big numbers quickly
Watch Outs:
- Can't control who will respond and how much
- One-way dialogue
- Biased view of brand aficionados
- Anyone can view it, including your competition
- Answers are often not thought though and highly reactive
2. Online Communities or Panels
Use of an online portal to share questions and challenges with a pre-selected 'community' or 'panel' of consumers. Online software allows you to control how you share; control and manage output and feedback. Thus, the most iterative and dynamic approach for online.
- Can achieve good ongoing dialogue with your community
- Get fairly detailed responses from a fairly large number of people in different markets
- Communities can feed off each other to get more and better ideas
- Closed nature of the portal means you can share sensitive information that you couldn't in social forums
Watch Outs:
- On-going dialogue needs to be highly incentivised and contributors may become institutionalised over time
- Usual limitations of being online verses in person, face to face – see table below
- Online co-creation software is varied in quality and may require considerable investment
- In home distractions reduce concentration levels
3. Co-Creation Workshops
Brand and innovation teams may invite a selection of consumers or users to partake in an innovation workshop (They are sometimes referred to as 'lead users'). The approach provides 'live' insight to guide ideas and thinking.
- Workshop dynamic allows the consumer workings to be experienced first hand
- You can be directly collaborative and bounce ideas fast
- Low-investment required given an innovation workshop likely to go ahead anyway
- Get consumers' full attention 60-80% of the time
- You can ensure that ideas are based in commercial reality
Watch Outs:
- The dynamics of a workshop may lead teams to rely to heavily on the opinions of a small number consumer/users' ideas
- The group dynamic may overwhelm attendees – difficult to challenge their thinking in a manner that is comfortable to them
- Workshop dynamic limits the ability to pick up deep insight
- Consumers are often intimidated so tell you want they think you want to hear
4. Small Groups
Format is similar to a focus group, but in smaller groups to allow for more intense dialogue and co-creation.
- Allows consumers to bounce of each other ideas
- Enables the facilitator to pick up more insight along the way vs standard size focus group
- Dialogue between participants may be revealing
- Full attention from consumers for 50%-70% of the time
Watch Outs:
- Groups can be biased by dominant individuals
- Little scope for facilitator to develop strong rapport with each individual – limiting ability to reveal deepest thoughts and the sub-conscious
- Waiting for others to speak allows participants to police themselves too much. The usual limitations of a focus group apply – although they appear slightly reduced by size of groups, this is mitigated by the need to co-create together rather than simple show/challenge and response
5. One-on-One, Face-to-Face
Format usually begins with an ethnographic element – e.g. an in-depth interview, an observation of consumer or user. This then leads to a co-creation session with the same consumer/user which is couched in the insight gained.
- The participant's contribution can be maximised – building ideas in detail but also ensuring that these ideas are couched in commercial reality
- Optimal opportunity to use techniques that bypass their conscious mind
- Best chance to develop a rapport that allows them to reveal their deepest thoughts
- Subtleties of differences in consumer types are clearer to see
- Intense focus allows facilitator to cover more ground than in a group i.e. idea generation, concept building and executional detail
Watch outs:
- The most expensive of the options but delivers a lot – deeper consumer insight, ideas and executional detail
- Works best with Strategists not Researchers facilitating
- Stimulus needs to be plentiful AND well thought through to maximise the depth and creativity that the format permits
Of course time and budget will influence the method you chose, as much as the level of integrity it offers. But be clear that certain brand and innovation challenges fit certain methodologies better than others – this we will cover next month.

string(5) "index"
Lily's a folk singer and songwriter born, raised and still living in south-east London (Crystal Palace – hence the title of this album, strategically sited a stone's throw from there). Her natural performing idiom is a cappella, which is not surprising since her early singing experiences were in choirs. Lily's voice is pure and clear yet with ample body, and her diction is precise and impeccable. Moreover, she's blessed with a fine sense of melodic line and keen appraisal of the expressive potential of her chosen texts.
Having learned of Lily's special attributes as a singer, then, you might be somewhat surprised to discover that Lily's debut album contains only two tracks that are performed a cappella. This may from the outset have been a conscious decision, I don't know, but the reported story is that a chance meeting with acclaimed producer Gerry Diver (through a fRoots magazine fundraiser) led to the recording of a single (Down In Yon Forest – which by coincidence is one of the above-mentioned a cappella renditions) and thereupon to him producing her fully-fledged, ambitiously more-fully-clothed full-length debut album. Gerry is thoroughly in sympathy with Lily's vision, and plays every instrument you hear (and there are many!) as well as being responsible for working his production magic (you may recall him taking on a similar role for Lisa Knapp a short while back). The first-time listener may initially feel there's a little too much detail in the mix at times, but it works best if you step back and take Gerry's imaginative embellishments on their own terms rather than worrying about Lily's musical personality being submerged (which it ain't – instead it's enhanced, and often more subtly than you might imagine considering the delicious tonal weight and gentle richness of Gerry's brilliant settings).
Lily's choice of songs for Norwood Gothic leans marginally more toward the traditional (particularly Irish) – although having said that, the disc also includes four of her own compositions, which, while not conforming to the inward-gazing s/s trope, aren't exclusively traditionally-inspired either. These tracks turn out to be disc highlights, in fact. Brookmill Park resonates with a limpid genius loci, while on the swirling Celtic-legend of Danilo & The Swan-Maiden Lily's attractive lower-register delivery bears a similarity to that of Carole Pegg. The disc's opener, the mesmerising Small Gold Ring, is set to a rippling arpeggio conveying the rhythm of a boat in motion on the waves, whereas Black Country (Death Is Not The End) is driven along Seth-Lakeman-style by a thrusting, stomping violin figure.
As far as the traditional songs are concerned, Lily's choices on this occasion are mostly pretty much standard fare, although they (and she) certainly benefit from Gerry's aptly atmospheric production and some felicitous touches in the accompanying instrumentation. She Moved Through The Fair, for instance, is set to a mesmeric drone, out of which Lily's voice arrives as from the mists of time; on The Parting Glass, unhurried eastern-inflected banjo meanderings provide a desolate counterpoint to the melody, while The Lagan Love becomes a delicate, twinkling folk-baroque-styled lament.
The downside is that occasionally Lily's interpretations, although displaying plenty of evidence of forethought, don't quite attain the level of personal insight that would give them an edge in such a competitive field – let alone the spooked innovation that would place them truly in the house of Gothic Folk. Another issue is that taken together the six traditional tracks feel mildly inconsistent in approach and delivery, and two in particular turn out peculiarly idiosyncratic (as opposed to individual in ownership terms, I mean). Perhaps it's just that not all of the song choices quite suit Lily; but to be fair, any developing artist can be forgiven for getting it a little wrong in terms of interpretive decisions on occasion, after all…
On the attractively lilting Fear A Bhata (sic), Lily's take on an authentic Gaelic pronunciation, while undoubtedly brave and carefully executed, just doesn't convince. Then in contrast, the a cappella Ploughboys In The Gloaming is done in a particularly measured, deliberate manner, where each syllable and phrase is weighted oh so deliberately in a distinctly cultivated fashion so that it comes across almost as a refined, slightly precious parlour-song sung by a rather cultured lady! It's beautifully sung in terms of precise technique, but the feel ain't quite right. However, Lily adopts a similarly steady, unhurried, pace of delivery for Down In The Forest, which proves much more successful in terms of its directly involving, captivating (and more convincingly "gothic") aura.
Overall, then, Lily has given us a most persuasive debut album, such that I'm keen to hear more of her – preferably on some less well-trodden material as well as more of her own compositions.

All you need is a towel.
1. Make a tight roll of towel with thickness 7-10cm and length at least 40cm. Tie the roll round so it won't loosen.
2. Lie on hard horizontal surface, like on the ground for example. For this technique, the bed is
not appropriate.
3. Put the towel roll under your waist, exactly on the opposite site of your navel.
4. Place your feet shoulder width apart and tilt your feet so the thumbs touch each other. The
distance between hills should be 20-25cm.
5. Stretch your hands behind your head with your palms facing down, so that the small fingers
touch each other. This pose is quite uncomfortable and you might not straighten your arms
completely, but the important thing here is to have your fingers on the hands and feet
touching each other.
6. Stay in this position for 5 minutes. If you feel discomfort or this pose is too hard for you, then
stay for 1-2 minutes in the beginning and start to increase the time.
You will see the results in about a month, your spine will be more straight on its natural
position and your belly more flat.

Ariana Grande canta al lujo en su canción titulada "7 Rings"
Tiempo de lectura: 2'
Ariana Grande nos presenta hoy "7 rings" una canción con guiños a los caprichos y al lujo. Ella misma ha contado que la inspiración vino en una visita a una afamada joyería de Nueva York en donde compró siete anillos para otras tantas buenas amigas.
Para el videoclip oficial Ariana ha vuelto a contar con la directora Hannah Lux Davis que ya fue quien estuvo al frente del vídeo de "thank u, next".
Este es el resultado final:
Seguiremos mirando de cerca a Ariana y a sus singles porque parece decidida a ir lanzando temas de forma habitual más que pensar en un próximo álbum.
Esta es la letra oficial de "7 rings"
Breakfast and Tiffany's
And bottles of bubbles
Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble Lashes and diamonds
ATM machines
Buy myself all of my favorite things
Been through some bad shit
I should be a sad bitch
Who woulda thought it'd turn me to a savage Rather be tied up with calls and not strings
Write my own checks like I write what I sing
My wrist
Stop watching
My neck
Is flossy
Make big deposits
My gloss is poppin
You like my hair?
Gee thanks, just bought it
I see it
I like it
I want it
I got it yuh
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
You like my hair?
Gee thanks, just bout it
I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it
Wearing a ring but not cause I'm no mrs.
Bought matching diamonds for 6 of my bitches
I'd rather spoil all my friends with my riches
Think retail therapy my new addiction
Who ever said money can't solve your problems Must not have had enough money to solve them They say which one I say nah I want all of em Happiness is the same price as red bottoms
My smile is beaming
My skin is gleaming
The way it shine I know you seen it
I bought a crib just for the closet
Both his and hers
I want it
I got it yuh
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
I want it, I got it
You like my hair?
Gee thanks, just bout it
I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it
Yea my receipts be looking like phone numbers
If it ain't money then wrong number
Black card is my business card
The way it be setting the tone for me
I don't mean to brag but I be like
Put it in the bag (Yea)
When you see them racks
They stacked up like my ass yea (Shoot)
Go from the store to the booth
Make it all back in one loop
Gimme the loot
Never mind I got the juice
Nothing but net when we shoot
Look at my neck
Look at my jet
Ain't got enough money to pay me respect
Ain't no budget when I'm on the set
If I like it then that's what I get
uh huh
