One of the things I haven't read much about when it comes to bipolar disorder is being obsessive or having obsessing thoughts. I obsess over little things like if the windows are closed at night to big things like what are people thinking about me. I know it seems stupid and possibly childish but paranoia, at its worst, can be quite overwhelming if it spins out of control.
Because I have a lot of guilt and shame issues, I obsess over what I think people are saying about me and even what they are not saying about me. (Like they're not saying I'm a good person). I obsess about my worth. I obsess about the way I look. I obsess about my weight.
Paranoia finds itself in every day situations. Let me give you an example. I know a lot of people and so communicate with many of them on Facebook or whatsapp. While chatting to them, I'd have secret conversations happening in my mind where I imagine or "manufacture" things the other person is really saying with their messages. I obsess over reading between the lines constantly. It quickly spins out of control and I find myself completely detached from the actual conversation AND my mind is filled with negative what-ifs and so on. I'm become engrossed in the conversation that happened in the background. Scary thing is, I can justify every bit of these thoughts, in my mind of course. I feel as if people are out to get me, hate me and so forth. I hate it. I loathe chatting because of it sometimes.
According to an article I read online, paranoia is a symptom of psychosis. Gah. Really? Other symptoms include:
- Disrupted, disorganized, or hard-to-understand speech or thought patterns
- Hallucinations
- Unrealistic beliefs
- Difficulty managing daily activities
- Difficulty knowing what is real and what is not
Ah yes. I relate to these above.
It's hard to accept symptoms let alone hide them. It's hard to accept, that I'm mentally ill when you read the hard, clinical, truths. But I know it can be managed. I take my antipsychotics and go for therapy.
Do you struggle with unshakeable paranoia?

Good Boys – Movie Review
Good Boys – Movie Review
Rating: B (Good)
Trailer/Thumbnail Courtesy Universal Pictures
The premise of young boys swearing and pretending to be adult isn't exactly new ground for comedies. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have certainly been milking this for over twenty years on South Park. Good Boys acts like a live-action version of that long-running animated series and succeeds where it matters: in the humour and the chemistry between the leads. First-time feature director Gene Stupnitsky and his co-writing partner Lee Eisenberg have crafted a consistently funny script that properly utilises the trio of young actors tasked with carrying the movie. Good Boys is certainly crude and vulgar, but the laughs are gained from watching these tweens navigate a world they don't quite understand.
The casting of Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams and Brady Noon goes a long way towards making Good Boys work. These are believable friends, each with well established personalities and home lives. Stupnitsky and Eisenberg aren't afraid of showing the absurd thoughts that run through their heads, counter to their parents' views of them as perfect angels. A lot of the humour mainly comes through them trying to figure out the strange sexual activities of adults and teenagers. Their confusion at pornography and odd sex toys all succeed at being funny, because of their innocence mixed with their profanity-laced mouths. The filmmakers also get a lot of mileage from the relatable annoyance of trying to open child-proof caps.
Good Boys does build a solid plot around these youngsters and is smart enough to give it a lean runtime. Tremblay's need to replace his father's drone provides a ticking time clock and two college girls in pursuit of drugs make for worthy adversaries. The filmmakers thus allow this to be a springboard for many inspired gags, as does the quest to participate in a kissing party. The casting of the older characters also works well. Sam Richardson gets a great one-scene role as a policeman who comes across the boys, as does Stephen Merchant as a man who attempts to make a business transaction.
The movie does allow the characters to grow, leading to it becoming a more traditional coming-of-age story. It nicely touches on how children fear that their entire lives will be affected by things they do in their younger years, not realising these will just be minor blips. Watching the film several years removed from being the boys' age also makes one see how much times have changed with the rampant growth in technology. On a directing level, Stupnitsky doesn't bring too much to the table as he chooses to film the story in a very standard way. There is one stand-out chase scene, though, made even more hilarious by Midori Francis's stoic impression as one of the aforementioned college girls.
Good Boys is not the most original comedy, with the sexual dialogue and abundance of swear words common in Seth Rogen productions. However, the material works more often than not and the three leads end up being rater endearing. The film doesn't merely rest on the novelty of hearing 12 year olds spout dirty words and react to tampons. There is an actual story being told and major stakes involved. Well, major to people of that age. It gets a little funnier when one realises there will probably be children partaking in similar misadventures when they try to sneak into Good Boys.

Buying a Used Acura: 3 Tips for Getting the Best Value
Used car buying is a stressful process compared to the breeze of new car shopping. You have to be aware of mileage, condition, value of added features, and many other factors!
Luckily Acura buyers have great resources in dealerships to be guides through the pre-owned car buying experience. Below, Sunnyside Acura provides great tips for buyers in the market for a pre-owned Acura. As an example, we'll be using a used Acura MDX, as the target model throughout.
You'll find these three tips will help you go beyond the basics and get you in the best pre-owned Acura that meets your wants and needs!
Buying a One to Three-Year-Old Model Provides the Most Value
The bulk of new car depreciation hits in the first three years of ownership. This allows used car buyers to get great deals on vehicles with features that rival newer models. You may not always have the latest design, but you also won't have to deal with the bulk of the depreciation, either.
According to data from Trusted Choice, a new car depreciate as much as 25% in in its first year and up to 46% by its third year of ownership. And while Acura has one of the best resale values among luxury vehicle brands, we take hits on vehicle value as the years go by just like every other brand.
By its fifth year of ownership, a vehicle could reach up to a 63% loss in original value through depreciation. But if you purchased a three-year-old Acura, you'd be seeing a massive decrease in depreciation within the first few years of ownership compared to the original owner.
Another reason to consider a "newer" pre-owned Acura compared to an older model is the fact that many are off-lease vehicles. With leased vehicles, you'll find the owners typically drive less miles per year and service the vehicle regularly at a certified dealership. More often than not, these vehicles are returned to the dealership in excellent condition, allowing the second owner to receive incredible value upon delivery.
Compare Model Packages and Weigh the Pros/Cons
Buying a new car, there's often a large pricing gap between the standard model and one with the most bells and whistles. But those features often help add more value to the vehicle when it comes time to trade it in.
Even better, if you buy a higher-end model after a few years of depreciation, you'll be able to hang on to that value longer than a lower-end model. And as an added benefit, you get to enjoy the extra features throughout your years of ownership.
For instance, with Acura, it's not unusual to find a used MDX with the Advance Package have a larger price gap versus a used MDX with the Technology Package than they do on a brand new model. This is because the luxury features added on the Advance Package are more desirable and less common on used models, than those of the Technology Package.
With used cars, a huge part of the value is added features, and the higher-end you go the better chance of less depreciation over time.
Despite this, it's always worth comparing packages and weighing the pros and cons. If you find the extra features don't make up for the difference in price to you personally, it wouldn't be worth it to upgrade simply because of the depreciation difference.
Choose a Certified Model for the Added Value
While a non-certified Acura can be just as reliable as a certified model, there are plenty of perks to buying certified that add incredible value for used car buyers.
One of the absolute best perks is the added 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty added on top of the new car limited warranty of 4-years/50,000 miles. That's a total of 5 years/62,000 miles of coverage, exclusively for certified pre-owned Acuras.
As an example, if you were to buy a certified 2015 Acura MDX with 30,000 miles on it, you'd be left with a 3 years/32,000-mile limited warranty. Almost as good as many new cars today!
Acura will only allow the best of the best models to be marked certified, after passing a 182-point inspection. Any necessary repairs are made by Acura technicians, using genuine parts, to assure certified vehicles maintain like-new performance.

Tansy In The News
First appeared: Saturday, February
26, 2011
You might have seen the global news coverage of our recent research
findings on Tansy. As hundreds of news articles all over the world have
picked up the story, we are obliged to put this information page to answer
the large volume of questions put forward to us by the public and the
...See the media coverage of our findings...
Our Research On Tansy
Our (Dr Habtemariam's) research interest focus on the pharmacological and phytochemical evaluations of medicinal plants. During the past two decades,
our research group has provided scientific evidence for medicinal uses of various
European medicinal plants. Our research group has also
assisted many herbal medicine practitioners, suppliers and consumers who wished
to ascertain the quality of their crude herbal
products. As part of this ongoing effort to modernise traditional herbal
medicines, Tansy has been included in our
research projects. First we have shown that extracts obtained from the
aerial parts of Tansy possess potent antioxidant properties; an effect which is
of interest to wound healing properties. We have further identified the
active principles of the antioxidant compounds - these results are published in
a scientific journal: Natural
Product Communications, Volume 4, Number 11, Page No. 1561 - 1564.
In view of this finding, a comprehensive research on antiherpes activity study
became very relevant.
Two forms of herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) are
known to cause long-term latent infections with periods of recurring viral
replication. The common sites of infection are the lips, eyes, mucous membrane
of the oral cavity and the genitals. Incidence of herpes especially HSV-2 that
causes genital infection has been steadily increasing in recent years.
The ever increasing incidences of drug resistance together with
immunosuppressive illnesses such as AIDS have been the major problems associated
with the growing prevalence of the disease. As recently reported in
ScienceDaily (Sep. 30, 2010), experimental vaccines intended to
prevent herpes has not proven to be effective. A novel drug which
addresses the above mentioned problems are therefore a long awaited blessing.
In 2009, our (Dr Habtemariam's) research group has forged a research link
with Professor Francisco Parra
(Universidad de Oviedo Spain). Our studies
included the bioassay of crude extracts of the aerial parts of Tansy as well as
the underground rhizomatous parts. We have also included several fractions and
isolated compounds including parthenolide which has previously been reported for
its antiviral activities. We have shown that, compounds other than parthenolide were
responsible for the antiviral activities and our results were published in a
scientific journal: Phytotherapy Research, Volume
25, Number 2, pages
296-301. We are currently undergoing further
research on the chemistry and pharmacology of Tansy extracts and purified
We are currently running various other
collaborative projects and work closely with colleagues in Africa, Australia, India,
Europe and North America. Our research projects cover a wide range
of disease conditions and we always welcome a collaborative
research call from interested groups in this field.

I love this product. I'm 48 and my hair is a mixture of grey and blond. I don't color or use any products on my hair...I'm a wash and go girl. My hair was starting to get real brassy and dull and it was making me sad. Nothing I tried helped.
This product took all that brass away and brought out my natural highlights and made my hair bright and shiny again. It's also very soft...which at my age is hard to achieve.
I really do love this shampoo and conditioner.

15th April 2019
The highlight of the week was Saturday afternoon at Plainmoor with my friend Jerry Brimicombe witnessing Torquay United gaining automatic promotion from National League South. In the evening I went over to Shaldon with Elaine to see the Estuary Buoys playing some very good songs at the London Inn by the river Teign in Shaldon. I particularly liked their version of 'I Fought the Law'.
This was followed the next evening when Lord Z came over to give me the finished recordings of two songs for the Devon Roses album. These are 'I Greet You Well' and 'Less Fortunate Than Fair'. The lyrics for the latter song were written by the author Sandra Heath Wilson and I originally envisaged this as a music hall type song. I hope Sandra likes the finished version of the song which is about one of the daughters of Edward IV and uses the title of her book about this daughter.
There are actually four different finished versions of 'I Greet You Well' with different bass on each one so that Lord Z could see which bass guitar was the best for recording and it seems to be the least likely second hand Encore! Not so nice to play because of crap action but sounds much better than the much more expensive and playable Fender squire Jazz bass guitar.
Anyway not only is Lord Z a legendary keyboard mellotron maestro and Logic recording software expert, he is now an accomplished bass player! Lord Z is now in the process of trying to finish the recording of a song called 'Sanctuary' about the birth of Edward V. Work has also progressed on another song called 'Her Household Requires'. I think we now have nine completed songs for the 'Devon Roses' album. This includes 'Wife to the Kingmaker' which was inspired by the book of the same title by Sandra Heath Wilson. This very lovely lady has certainly given me lots of inspiration.

State farmers showing strong interest in growing industrial hemp
Tuesday, June 26, 2018
Wisconsin farmers stressed by stagnant dairy and grain markets are showing strong interest in growing industrial hemp this year, but a state agricultural official is warning them not to count on the niche crop to solve their financial problems.
"I'd say interest from farmers is almost extreme," said Brian Kuhn, who heads the plant industry bureau of the state's Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
"The calls we take every day about hemp are very high, and our website hits blows away numbers for almost anything we've put on our website in some time," he said. "We're getting distinctly higher numbers (for hemp) than what we're used to, which is a good thing."
But while the niche crop has the potential to create more income than corn or soybeans, Kuhn said farmers will get burned if they don't follow rules for selling hemp that are different from rules for selling corn, soybeans and other mainstream crops.

Update: Using #BellLetsTalkMaternalMentalHealth, advocates were able to obtain 13 million impressions on Twitter during the Bell Let's Talk campaign Jan. 31, 2018.
The Huffington Post Canada
While I love Bell Let's Talk's decision to focus on everyday Canadians this year instead of the celebrities we're used to hearing from, I wish just one of the stories would have highlighted a mom or mom-to-be struggling with a maternal mental health disorder.
It gets kind of close in a Bell Let's Talk prime time special featuring the stories of eight Canadians interviewed by CTV veteran journalist and The Social co-host, Marci Ien.
I love the fact that Ien and a crew of four spent six weeks traveling the country from Iqaluit to Halifax listening to Canadians tell of how they're coping with various forms of mental illness including Lesley Kelly, a mom in Regina who suffered from the baby blues for a couple of days after the birth of her son. However, the mention is brief, and doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of maternal mental health struggles currently facing moms and families in Canada.
"There are illnesses that we're talking about and delving into with this special that we've not done before," said Ien in a sit down interview with me. "Canadians are sharing their stories like never before and the onus was upon us to say we hear you, we're listening Canada, we got you and we're coming to see you."
Hopefully next year, that will also include moms with postpartum depression.
One in five Canadians will be affected by a mental illness this year, and that includes pregnant and postpartum women who may develop a range of maternal mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder and psychosis.
According to new guidelines released by the Government of Canada, depression affects about 10 per cent of women during pregnancy, and 20 to 40 per cent of women with a history of depression will suffer a relapse postpartum. Despite this, Canada does not recommend perinatal depression screening, while Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States all do.
"Maternal mental health is the ugly stepsister of the mental health movement," says Claire Kerr-Zlobin, founder of Life With A Baby, a national non-profit organization created to help moms with postpartum depression combat isolation. "It seems since Ottawa is not providing funding towards this area, no one wants to touch it."
After reaching out numerous times to attempt to get Bell Let's Talk to include maternal mental health as part of their campaign over the past eight years, this year, Kerr-Zlobin has decided to run her own Twitter campaign on January 31st using the hashtag #BellLetsTalkMaternalMentalHealth.
"The fact that a large campaign about mental health has completely ignored maternal mental health is quite telling," says Kerr-Zlobin. "To me, it further stigmatizes postpartum mood and anxiety disorders and delivers the message that mothers getting depressed after a baby is not a valid mental health disorder."
Doula and maternal mental health advocate Sara Beckel agrees.
"For the past two years, I've been trying to get their attention and connect about getting postpartum depression on the national radar," says Beckel, owner of the Family First Doula Centre in Saskatchewan. "I read through all of the featured stories for this year's campaign and, I'm not surprised, but zero postpartum depression stories are listed."
Beckel is one of the lead organizers of this year's Our Mothers, Our Future conference in May featuring Margaret Trudeau which Beckel and other advocates hope will begin a national conversation about maternal mental health. In a letter to Bell last year, Beckel shared her story and wrote about the effect perinatal mood and anxiety disorders can have on early childhood development.
"I found myself in a very dark place and completely overwhelmed in my new role as a mother of two," writes Beckel. "Women who do not receive treatment can undergo a lifelong battle with depression and anxiety, impacting her emotional and physical health, and ability to function."
Beckel says Bell's oversight mirrors the current national attitude towards maternal mental health.
"The rest of the country is also failing to address this issue head on," says Beckel. "We're still sweeping it under the rug or we're simply not putting mothers anywhere close to the top of priority list."
To be fair, I was invited to talk about my experience with postpartum depression during a live segment on CTV National on Bell Let's Talk day in 2013. Unfortunately, it was during my first bout with a maternal mental health illness right in the middle of a manic episode after not having been properly screened or treated for what turned out to be postpartum bipolar disorder.
Back then, I was experiencing a psychotic episode but it was missed completely. I guess the fact that I wasn't at risk of harming myself or my child didn't raise any red flags with anyone including my doctor. But I thought angels were talking to me, and that meditation was the cure for postpartum depression. I quit a high-paying job on a whim, wrote and self-published a book within a month and put together a one-woman musical which I performed on stage at a theatre I rented out in Toronto.
Friends and family, though they thought I was acting strangely, came and supported me. I raised money for mental health, but I was not well. Soon afterwards, I crashed into a debilitating depression and lost my house because I had no job and was spending excessively (a symptom of bipolar disorder.)
I wish I could go back now, five years wiser, a much more informed maternal mental health advocate after having experienced severe postpartum depression twice, getting the proper treatment the second time around which included life-saving medication, and becoming fully educated about maternal mental health disorders.
I would talk about the need for a national maternal mental health strategy.
I would talk about how important it is to screen all women for maternal mental health disorders from preconception to one year postpartum and even beyond.
I would talk about the symptoms not often spoken about including intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, heart palpitations, muscle tightness, brain fog, derealization, depersonalization and in some cases like mine, delusional thinking, hallucinations, and psychosis.
I would talk about the need for more and better training for health care providers from nurses to obstetricians, to family doctors, to midwives.
I would talk about the need for resources in every community in Canada to help women with a perinatal mood disorder in addition to medication such as therapy, support groups and a dedicated maternal mental health hospital wing with beds for mothers and their babies.
I would talk about the need for home care for mothers experiencing a severe mental illness to help with caring for the baby and household chores, not just a nurse that comes and sits on your couch for an hour to confirm you have postpartum depression and then never see them again.
I would talk about how the current mental health movement is working backwards, and how failing to identify and adequately treat moms and moms-to-be with a maternal mental illness can have behavioural and psychological effects on their babies who grow up to be children with mental health issues who grow up to be adults with mental health issues.
Apart from my five minute misinformed interview in 2013, there has been barely a blip about maternal mental health in any meaningful way during the past eight years of Bell Let's Talk. I don't believe Bell purposefully excludes maternal mental health from their campaign, I just think it's not on their radar. Unfortunately, this year's campaign highlighting the stories of everyday Canadians was a missed golden opportunity.
"It's like we don't matter," says Beckel. "It's extremely important that Bell Let's Talk puts maternal mental health on the campaign in a big way because healthy mothers create the foundation for healthy children. We need to move away from dealing with the illness as young teens and adults and start investing in early intervention and prevention in order to make true and long-lasting change."

PNGeans in Fiji celebrate Independence Day with soccer and sun
by Adam Vai Delaney
Papua New Guineas living in Fiji have been closely monitoring the national pride celebrations in PNG through the internet and have joined in the celebrations at the week-end.
On Saturday, a small group organized a picnic at Pacific Harbour about 30 minutes drive from Suva, capital of Fiji. Meanwhile, Adam Vai Delaney and Theo Yasause based at the Forum Secretariat played in the annual ***** Cup tournament for their Hasbeens soccer club against a spirited young Outrigger Soccer club.
The competition is a traditional rivalry between Hasbeens Suva, made up of former Fiji representatives and Suva based club reps, and a mix of expatriates residing here.
On Saturday, Delaneys 20 meter shot into the goal mouth was enough to put the Hasbeens, playing with an average age of 40, in a winning margin of 4-2.
On Sunday Outrigger boys, made up of several Sigatoka soccer representatives with an average age about 21, won 1-0.
On differentials, Hasbeens now hold the Cup until next year. Delaney was a former skipper with the Port Moresby Int High School soccer team back in the late 1980s.
Its a great day to celebrate PNGs independence in the sun in Suva. Hasbeens is made up of enthusiastic guys ranging from 33 to 76, yet we can go out and play a hard, solid game under pressure. We regularly play on Tuesdays and Fridays in a round robin type competition that is just for fun, and not a tournament but the ***** wee-end games are like our very own state of origin. We show the young legs, that some of us still have it ! said Delaney.
Other PNGeans playing for Hasbeens include Dr Chalapan Kaluwin, Monave Amani and Sidney Suma.
We have a great team playing with local Fijians and Fiji Indians, and residing expatriates including Solomon Islanders such as George Beck who works with the Forum. Congrats to the Events Team in PNG for a job well done to mark 30 years of independence!!
Picture taken during the Independence celebration here at the Sir John Guise STadium.

text: GaryD 1,057 Report post Posted September 27, 2016 Hi Ande, Can you tell me more about the quail dish that features the drumsticks in the saucepan? When you pluck the quail, do you scald them in hot water? It makes removal of the feathers so much easier. Re your current hatch.....resist the urge to tamper with things. The effect of the higher temperature in the early part of the incubation will probably be to provide two distinct hatches from the same batch of eggs. I'd suggest that you keep things going for at least a couple of days longer that you would otherwise have done. The usual effect of high temperatures early in the incubation is to have chicks appear earlier than usual.....followed by a protracted hatch later. The effect of lower (than appropriate) temperatures early in the incubation is to delay the hatch.....and will still result in a protracted hatch. The only real difference is the start date. The long term answer is electronic temperature control......as distinct from the ether wafer and micro-switch that is more usually found on incubators.....particularly the cheaper ones. I'm happy to provide any information that you need. I've been working with quail for over 30 years and I love them. Their potential for integration into food production systems is enormous. While I still have about 20 jumbo quail here, at the moment, we're just maintaining them.....but I'm hoping to get back into active development with them in the coming weeks. Our next move will be to capture their manure and move them to a homemade ration. Long term, I'd like to integrate them into a food production system like iAVs...but replacing the fish with quail.

Assisted living is a type of care for older adults who need help with normal daily activities that's provided in a residential facility.
To best understand what assisted living is, it can be helpful to define what it's not. It is not a nursing home or a setting where residents need round-the-clock medical care. Instead, seniors in assisted living receive personal care and assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting so that they're able to live as independently as possible.
What's more, a look around a typical assisted living community will reveal something far different from the clinical setting many imagine when they hear the words "retirement home."
While each community is different, assisted living facilities in the U.S. today typically offer a wide range of convenient services, comforts, amenities and enriching activities to ensure residents get the help and care they need, in a setting they can call "home."
While there is no federal definition of "assisted living" in the U.S., the term generally refers to a type of personal care for people who need assistance with various activities of daily living — such as dressing, bathing and grooming — in order to live as independently as possible.
Assisted living care is typically provided in long-term residential facilities, where mostly elderly residents live and receive daily care and services from on-site staff. Unlike skilled nursing care, assisted living does not include medical care services (such as managing catheters, IVs or dressing wounds).

Classic and never out of style, it's a perfect choice for the eco-conscious and those with an active life at night-stop speed. upon a Victorian ring of 18k yellow gold. The high carat gold of 18k places the classic finger ring into another category along with it precise date.
Here the gypsy setting is being utilized for a ring for woman. Popular for men's jewelry during the 19th century, this was a secure setting with its gem embedded below the surface. Men (at the time) were more likely to use their hands for some sort of labor; consequently the exposure of less surface of the stone the better.
This is one lovely example of the Victorian three stone ring so in vogue during the late years of the 19th century. It features a cartouche of three (3) old mine cut diamonds with a total weight of .09 carats (I-J color; SI1-2 clarity) each in that fabulous star engraved gypsy setting. Shoulders of open work are accented with keyhole piercings which segue to an ornate element on each side. A wide and comfortable silken gold shank finishes the ring.

Here's a quick and easy Halloween mini that's so much fun to do! In just a few minutes, you can make this Face In The Mirror that's perfect for any haunted house.
Supplies needed:
Corona Concepts Bedroom Kit
Skeleton skull
Black paint
Grey paint
EZ Cutter or saw
You'll only be using a few pieces of the Corona Concepts bedroom kit, but that's okay! The kit is very affordable and with the leftover pieces, you can complete a spooky bedroom, or use them for another room. The possibilities of the kit are endless, so it's a great investment with all the furniture you get from one kit.
Begin with cutting the skeleton skull in half, using your EZ Cutter or saw. (laughing maniacally at this part is optional)
The pieces you'll need from the bedroom kit are the vanity back, the vanity mirror, the small mirror frame and one large piece of the picture frame to use for the shelf.
Cut the tab off of the bottom of the vanity back.
Discard the tab and paint all the pieces of wood flat black.
Remove the protective film from the mirror. Since this is a haunted look, you'll be distressing the mirror. (Don't worry---the seven years bad luck rule is waived for this project) Use an xacto blade or your fingernail to make scrapes on the mirror surface first, then use a toothpick to dab streaks and dots of black paint onto the surface. Finally dab on a grey wash here and there to give the mirror an aged, milky look and glue it to the frame.
Glue the frame to the vanity back.
Then glue the shelf to the bottom.
Dry brush a grey wash over the wood to age it.
The next step is to glue the skull half to the mirror.
For the finishing touch, add accents like a candle or a framed picture to the shelf.
Now you're ready to hang your mirror on the wall! It's the perfect touch to any haunted house!

Ofgem's plans to reform energy tariffs could lead to UK householders paying up to £55 million extra on their gas and electricity bills.
The energy regulator has proposed the Tariff Comparison Rate (TCR), which aims to simplify energy tariffs and allow consumers to compare the prices across the market.
Under the new proposals, consumers will be advised on their best deal based on medium usage of both gas and electricity, however, according to the latest Which? analysis, only a quarter of householders use this level of energy, resulting in the rest being advised on a deal not based on their actual consumption.
Which? claims the new proposals don't got far enough to help consumers and suggests the introduction of a single unit price for energy tariffs in the same way petrol prices are displayed.
Richard Lloyd, Executive Director at Which? said: "These current proposals are far too complicated and will fail to achieve their aim of making it easier for people to find the best deal, with three quarters of people being asked to compare prices that are not based on their energy usage.
"The Government should introduce single unit prices for each energy tariff so people can easily see the best deal for them at a glance. Only then will people have the confidence to switch, injecting much needed competition into the broken energy market."
The survey claims more than 3.4 million households could be misdirected to the wrong tariff if they relied on the TCR.
An Ofgem spokesman, however, said the reforms would make it much easier for consumers to choose the right energy deal.
The spokesman added: "Which? is misrepresenting the purpose of the tariff comparison rate and how it fits into the full scope of Ofgem's reform package. The tariff comparison rate acts as a prompt to consumers to take a look at comparative deals. The tool is similar to the 'typical APR' used in financial services marketing. But it is partnered with personalised consumption information necessary to make a full and accurate cross-market comparison, which every supplier must provide via bills and annual statements. Ofgem's reforms will also see suppliers cheapest deals on your bill."

DJ JONATHAN TOUBIN is bringing the world's most popular soul party back to HUDSON. GET DOWN… all night long to the extra-exceptional, explosive, and exquisite original 1960s soul 45s of New York Night Train DJ Mr. Jonathan Toubin! GET IN… and join the DANCE-OFF to win a $100 CASH prize, judged by this distinguished panel of local luminaries;
Kamal Johnson
Tschabalala Self
Amanda Daisy Lees
Ale Campos
Elise McMahon
Guest Selector El Michels Affair
Make a night of it! CATCH THE CLAP!
Get excited because the 21st Century's most popular, prolific, and fun soul party is coming to town! NYC soul slinger JONATHAN TOUBIN and his New York Night Train SOUL CLAP & DANCE-OFF take over The Half Moon on March 9th for an unparalleled night of music and dancing 'til late.
Jonathan Toubin, who VICE Magazine calls "the only DJ we actually like" and Rolling Stone declares "the most liked man in the soul music scene," was awarded "BEST DJ" in The Village Voice 60th Anniversary "BEST OF NYC." Juxtaposing raw, wild, and uncommon original 45s by unsung artists loud and on the beat for today's dance floor, Jonathan Toubin and his New York Night Train party machine's persistent nightly work has carved out a unique space in contemporary culture and influenced scores of DJs and parties everywhere. While best known for the world's most popular and prolific soul party, the Soul Clap and Dance-Off, and NYC's biggest and longest-running weekly rock'n'roll dance, Shakin' All Over Under Sideways Down!, he's also spent the last decade turning over 2000 parties at hundreds of nightclubs, rock concerts, and major music festivals on five continents – from Bonnaroo to Benicassim. NY Night Train's soul proprietor is the first DJ given his own entire night at Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night's Swing and the first DJ with an entire night of official South By Southwest showcases dedicated to his dance party (where his Clap has become the festival's annual official closer since 2011). He's also the first living DJ with compilations on the legendary Norton Records (with five Souvenirs of the Soul Clap LPs) and the first 45 DJ with Burger Records cassettes.
"This 45 hoarder made soul music fun again with his Soul Clap & Dance Off parties, where five-hour sets of rare grooves and B-sides provided a fleshy alternative to the club scene's industrial snarl. Instead of bucking the trends of American pop music for some underground alternative, Toubin has made his name by embracing pop's connective tissue, tracing the rhythm and blues, soul, and rock and roll of the nineteen-fifties and sixties." (The New Yorker, 2016)
Jonathan Toubin was awarded "BEST DJ" in the Village Voice 60th anniversary "BEST OF NYC": "We might live in an EDM world, but Jonathan Toubin has no truck with today's musical whims. Since 2007, Toubin's Soul Clap and Dance-Off has brought throwback pizzazz and retro cool to New York's late-night underground. Culled from an endless array of long-forgotten Sixties soul singles, Soul Clap is pure musical dynamite, the kind of after-hours party that exposes today's iTunes-bred, press-play DJs for their relative lack of roots and ingenuity. No fist-bumps or atomic bass drops here; instead, Toubin lovingly crafts five-hour sets that bring lost chestnuts from the likes of Vernon Harrell and the Blendells into clearer focus for a new generation of dance enthusiasts. You can try to put your moves to better use, but you'll be hard-pressed to find more cathartic, sweatier fun elsewhere in the city." (The Village Voice, 2015)
"Jonathan is pretty much the only DJ we actually like." (VICE Magazine, 2014)
"Particularly chic… one of the most popular spinners in Williamsburg and the founder of the New York Night Train dance parties. His fare is already cleaner and more appreciative of American pop music history than much of the rest." (NY Times, 2013)
"The most-liked man in the soul music scene" (Rolling Stone, 2012)

I have a key that is the combination of two shorter keys generated by PBKDF2, which together are long more or less 64 bytes. Now I need to shrink it down to 32 bytes and I'm not sure what to use to do it. I was thinking of SHA256. I know that SHA256 is not safe to generate keys by itself, but since what I have is a combination of two proper generated keys, then SHA256 would be just fine. Am I right or I should use something else to accomplish this goal?
2$\begingroup$ No objection... $\endgroup$ – fgrieu♦ Jul 3 '14 at 17:32
$\begingroup$ Since you have PBKDF2, you can also just do one iteration of that using both the keys as input, and the specified length as output. But SHA-256 works too. $\endgroup$ – Stephen Touset Jul 3 '14 at 17:44
2$\begingroup$ Skein and Keccak do not have the thirteen years of cryptanalysis that SHA-256 has. There is little compelling reason to choose one of them over SHA-256 at the current time. There is no need to search for the NSA hiding under every rock. $\endgroup$ – Stephen Touset Jul 4 '14 at 16:37
$\begingroup$ Do you work for the NSA Stephen? When using an algorithm from an author it requires a fair amount of trust in their work. When that author has been shown to be backdooring and weakening crypto standards (Dual EC DRBG and more) also their game plan to do exactly this in leaked documents then it's a fair assumption their other work may contain issues. For instance, where is the design document for how SHA2 was designed and the reasons for decisions made, e.g. choice of IVs etc? If I read the specs for Skein and Keccak they detail their decision making process and reasons for every small detail. $\endgroup$ – NDF1 Jul 5 '14 at 8:31
I agree with the comments that SHA-256 should be fine here.
However, if you already use HMAC-SHA-256 for PBKDF2, you could use HKDF Expand, which despite its name is defined even for output lengths shorter than input. In your case the output would be simply:
$$\operatorname{HMAC-SHA-256}(\text{key}, \text{info} || \text{0x01}),$$
where 'info' is an optional, arbitrary string to specify this particular key in case you ever need to derive another key from the same material and '0x01' is the byte with value 1.

- Udyr has been designed by Coronach.
Udyr is a martial arts champion based around 4 fighting stances: Tiger, Turtle, Bear, and Phoenix. Each form has an activation effect and a persistent effect. The persistent effects ensure that each stance fulfills a different role, while the activation effects encourage Udyr to constantly switch as the battlefield changes. Udyr is a champion with 4 basic abilities, and no ultimate (a groundbreaking skillset in the League of Legends!), allowing players to choose which abilities are worth maxing out based on how the game has evolved.

Chaos;Head ~ Review
"A crazy psychological thriller that will mess up your mind completely!"
You may or may not have heard about this series before, but if you have then you will know quite well that it is just… awesome. It`s fame rose with the release of the well-acclaimed series Steins;Gate, written by 5pb. and Nitroplus. Although there is no exact connection between the two series (both series having totally different characters and plot), many fans believe that Steins;Gate is the sequel to Chaos;Head. Anyway, let`s get on with the review, shall we?

Stratasys launches the F-Series printers. No matter what your previous 3D printing experience, you can quickly master any of the three F123 models.
Focus Product Design leverages technology solutions from GoEngineer to take its customers from Design-to-Market™. The company's business model is laser-focused on making its customers successful. Read on to find out how.
End-use parts are now being produced with 3D printing technologies that are often lighter and stronger than their counterparts produced with traditional manufacturing processes. Because you can create designs with greatly reduced mass using additive manufacturing, SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Stratasys 3D printers become a natural match, enabling you to create designs that will keep you ahead of the competition.
Just because it looks good on your computer screen, doesn't necessarily mean it will look good on the printing platform. Try these 3D Printing Tips & Tricks to help achieve the best print.
From a 2D image into a 3D solid model, our mascot JoeEngineer is sent to the 3D printers!

The idea of iterative design – the cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining a product – existed long before additive manufacturing, but was never so efficient or approachable as it is with 3D printing technology.
3D Printing is a fantastic technology making its way into every industry possible. From the hobbyist garage to manufacturing plants around the world, this technology is flooding the news, boggling minds and quite possibly may find you confused. While I can't explain it all in one blog post, I've decided to break down one series of Stratasys printers – the Objet Connex Series.
A team made up of GoEngineer CEO Brad Hansen, Tandem Studios President Nathan Smith, Mechanical Engineer at Profire Energy Kevin Lynk, and I brainstormed answers to these questions and more. By the end of our session we knew our protagonist was a determined robot who had a fembot love interest, played with dangerously cool toys, and possessed zero understanding of basic physics.
Over the past few years, 3D printing has become more popular and technologically advanced than ever before. The increase in sales speaks for itself (CEA). Although the majority of sales may be for industry purposes, there are many educational institutions that
GoEngineer is excited to announce that we will soon offer a new line of Objet printers in addition to our existing Stratasys portfolio.

Huskers' Riley learning fast magnitude of game against Miami
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Having spent most of his career on the West Coast, first-year Nebraska coach Mike Riley initially didn't grasp how a nonconference game against Miami could stir so much emotion in and around the Cornhuskers' program.
He gained a much better understanding last month when De'Mornay Pierson-El got the news that a foot injury would keep him out at least until the Big Ten schedule started.
''First thing De'Mornay said when he got hurt is, `I really want to play in that Miami game,''' Riley said Monday.
The Huskers (1-1) and Hurricanes (2-0) meet Saturday night at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, to complete a two-year, home-and-home series. Nebraska won 41-31 in Lincoln last year in a heated game that ended with only the captains and head coaches shaking hands.
Saturday's game will mark the first time Nebraska plays a regular-season game in the Sunshine State since a 19-7 loss at Miami in 1951. Before last year's meeting, the previous five had come in bowls, with four deciding national championships. The Huskers have won six of 11 all-time games.
Riley, who never faced Miami when he was head coach at Oregon State or offensive coordinator at Southern California, said he watched Tom Osborne's 1980s and `90s teams play the `Canes in Orange Bowls. Don't quiz him on specifics, though. He said he only has general memories.
''I understand the great history of this game and some of the historical ramifications of the game against Miami, being played for national championships,'' Riley said. ''That's pretty good stuff, and it's led to a nice current-day rivalry.''
Even though players like the 19-year-old Pierson-El weren't born or were in diapers during the Huskers-Hurricanes heyday, they know the history of ''The U'' and how a game between these teams has extra meaning.
That much was apparent last year, when a Memorial Stadium-record 91,585 turned out, including New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who was the guest of Justice Clarence Thomas, an ardent Nebraska fan.
Brad Kaaya passed for 359 yards and three touchdowns for Miami, but he was trumped by Nebraska's Ameer Abdullah, who ran for 229 yards and had 313 all-purpose yards.
Five personal fouls were called on Miami in the second half alone, and other than the coaches and captains, the teams had to be separated and sent directly to their locker rooms after time ran out. The Nebraska fans, among the most genial in college football, booed the Hurricanes as they exited.
After the Huskers beat South Alabama 48-9 last Saturday, their thoughts turned immediately to Miami.
''We have to bring home the `W' in this historic game,'' defensive tackle Maliek Collins said.
Abdullah, who ran through and around the `Canes last year, is now with the Detroit Lions. But after Terrell Newby had 198 of the Huskers' 258 rushing yards against South Alabama, the Huskers hope they can run effectively against Miami again.
''Miami is always going to be a good team, always going to be a trash-talking team,'' offensive lineman Alex Lewis said, ''so there's nothing better than running it down their throat.''

By rights, 'Darling' ought to be a full-throttle, rip-snorting (or coke-snorting) lurid delight, a guilty pleasure of the highest order. In the hands of Russ Meyer it could have been a trashy soft-core romp a la 'Beyond the Valley of the Dolls'. With Richard Lester at the helm, it might have been the bona fide document from the Swinging Sixties that actual director John Schlesinger so obviously wanted it to be.
'Darling' starts with Diana Scott (Julie Christie) recounting her life story to an interviewer. There she is as a little girl on a school outing. There she is as a little girl in the school play. There she is aged twenty and all grown up with it, sashaying through the great metropolis when up comes a production assistant on a current affairs show presented by Robert Gold (Dirk Bogarde). She contributes a few casual lines to an interview on social attitudes and the generation gap and next thing you know Diana and Robert are merrily swanning around together.
Trouble is, he's married. So's she. Oooooh, controversial. Robert comes off as the heel for leaving his wife and children (a shot of him, suitcase in each hand, trudging sheepishly away from the house pulls back through the living room window to reveal he's left an envelope on the mantlepiece addressed to the luckless Mrs Gold), while Diana does an effective character assassination on her ex in just a couple of lines of voiceover (he's a "nice boy" apparently, and "playing at" being married). I may have missed it, but I don't think the poor chap even gets the dubious courtesy of an envelope on the mantlepiece.
Diana and Robert set up home together, but Robert does inconsiderate things like typing up the scripts for his TV show and treating Diana sensitively, so she does what any self-respecting vacuous amoral chic chick would do: she hooks up with filthy rich advertising executive Miles Brand (Laurence Harvey)* who has no class but looks good when he takes his shirt off and has a flash apartment and a Mercedes sports car. Because these are the things that count.
Sorry, was I being facetious?
Outwardly 'Darling' is a serious, multi-layered film that deconstructs the archetypes of the Sixties as determinedly as the aforementioned Richard Lester celebrated them. Not the least of its achievements is suggesting that Diana's outwardly respectable and starchly middle class parents are the people who schooled her in the elegantly empty small talk and studied self-confidence that greases the wheels as she makes her way up in so-called society.
Schlesinger's satire finds its outlet in the panoply of supporting characters: the sleazy MP (a pre-'Porridge' Brian Wilde) who drools over Diana, the dissipated photographer who captures an image that wins her the first of many lucrative modelling and advertising contracts, the fast-buck producers who cast her in a B-movie potboiler, and Miles's bohemian friends in Paris who think nothing of making out in front of each other and playing truth or dare. Ooooooh, even more controversial. (This, incidentally, is the most awful moment in the film: Schlesinger trying to be all arty and European and stylishly debauched but concocting, instead, a scene so flatly unerotic and unintentionally hilarious it makes your average Robin Askwith tits 'n' milkmen flick look like 'Citizen Kane'.)
Schlesinger draws parallels between these various stratas of society. When Diana meets the MP it's at a fundraiser whose rich patrons are doing their bit for the poor (particularly the minorities). Schlesinger cuts from a fat white woman stuffing herself to three black youths done up in period garb as serving boys watching her resentfully. Later, when Diana meets the Paris set, their liberal credentials are established by the inclusion of a sexually active black man as one of their own.
The fashions, the cars and the yappy John Dankworth score root 'Darling' firmly in the Sixties (albeit a view of the Sixties filtered through the consciousness of a director critical of the rapidly changing social mores). So, embarrassingly, do the unreconstructed values. For all that the fundraiser scene makes a point about prejudice, hypocrisy and condescension, the overall treatment of foreign characters (British Africans and Italians come off the worst) is as dubious as the treatment of gays (stereotypical) and the treatment of women. Schlesinger and scripter Frederic Raphael's portrayal of Diana is borderline misogynistic. With a less appealing, less charismatic and less meltingly beautiful actress than Julie Christie - and without Dirk Bogarde lending real acting chops to the first third of the film - 'Darling' would have been scuppered.
Fortunately, though, Christie is iconic. She turns an underwritten cypher into a sometimes confused, sometimes provocative and ultimately tragic heroine. The final scenes, where the loneliness and the desperation close in, are compelling. It's her film in the final analysis, but Bogarde's in the first third. As the cerebral, sardonic, slightly rumpled Robert - a man who ruefully walks out on his family only to find his new life isn't what he wanted - Bogarde brings depth and gravitas to the proceedings. His is a slow-burn performance - he mostly underplays, giving Christie the limelight - culminating in his discovery of Diana's affair with Miles and their verbal showdown as they leave a private viewing at a swanky art gallery. Diana makes to hail a cab, but Robert stops her.
Robert: We're not taking a taxi.
Diana: Why not?
Robert: I don't take whores in taxis.
Diana: What do you mean?
Robert: That's what you are, isn't it? A little whore. Isn't it? You've been back from Paris two days already. If you don't want me to find out what you're doing, don't leave your ticket and passport lying about all over the place.
Diana: Robert, I knew you'd get the wrong end of the stick ...
Robert: Your idea of fidelity is not having more than one man in the bed at the same time. You're a whore, baby, just a whore. And I don't take whores in taxis.
Diana: Why not?
Robert: I don't take whores in taxis.
Diana: What do you mean?
Robert: That's what you are, isn't it? A little whore. Isn't it? You've been back from Paris two days already. If you don't want me to find out what you're doing, don't leave your ticket and passport lying about all over the place.
Diana: Robert, I knew you'd get the wrong end of the stick ...
Robert: Your idea of fidelity is not having more than one man in the bed at the same time. You're a whore, baby, just a whore. And I don't take whores in taxis.
By nature of its attack on superficiality, 'Darling' inhabits a shallow milieu. Correspondingly, as the film progresses and Diana moves towards what is simultaneously her apotheosis in social climbing and the final stage of her objectification by the male gaze, characters become little more than set-dressing; emotions drain to hollowness and a facade of bored civility prevails. In depicting the stagnant, 'Darling' stagnates. The break-up between Diana and Robert is the high point of the film, their argument played out as, still in evening dress, they take the escalators down into an Underground station, the other punters nondescript, shabby and vaguely embarrassed by these two elegant individuals letting rip at each other, Diana's accent slipping as she yawps at him like a fishwife. It's the first, and only, time that the social masks drop and something raw, passionate and all-too-human is revealed.
*He makes his money by selling products and his name's Brand. I'll bet they were up all night thinking of that one! (By the same token Gold is belatedly identified as the only man who was worth anything to Diana, so he's called Gold. Diana is an attention seeking blonde whose sole talent is saturating the media with her own image, and who ends up a princess by dint of a loveless marriage, so she's called --- ... oops, better not go there.)

Steve Peat's hopes of winning the World DH championship were put in serious doubt this weekend after a crash during practice at the Mt Snow NORBA (US) finals.
Latest news is that he's broken his arm and his foot, and the chances of him riding the worlds looks slim. It's a bitter end to a fantastic year, with two wins on the Diesel World Cup circuit, at Les Gets and Mont Saint Anne, and holding the UCI No.1 spot for a lot of the season.
Though it's not out of the question for him to race "in pot", and we're not doubting his abilities for a minute, it looks like Britains DH hopes lie in the capable hands of Crawford Carrick-Anderson and Rob Warner.

I have had this 4.5" f/8 primary from Meridian Telescopes for quite a while (sadly not sold there anymore), and always planned to build a scope around it someday. In the interim, I have had a number of other telescope projects come and go.
With that f/8 mirror, I had plans to put a tube on a bowling ball, and make the scope so it could point any direction. Yeah... ummm - WAY too much weight up top, and not enough mass at the bottom. There's a reason why an Astroscan telescope is so short and squat! So from that field project, I had an old Meade tube sitting around doing nothing from that project that didn't get too far.
The 6x26 Orion finder that came with my 90mm f/10 Orion refractor has been doing nothing, as I had swapped in a 9x50 on that scope (overkill, I know).
Plus I had some extra flocking material.
I didn't think about all of these things being in my house until this last weekend, for some dumb reason - probably because they were all bought at different times and sitting in different areas of my house and/or garage.
So the tube got flocked. Then the focuser got put on by drilling new holes in the tube. The f/4 mirror got swapped out of it's cell, and the f/8 swapped in. That cell fit on the end of the tube nicely (except for a small crack I managed to put in it while testing it at one point, but it's not critical). Despite the secondary mirror being on the large size, it got put in the tube. I have several finder dovetails, so one got put on the tube (no redrilling of holes need for it!), and the 6x26 finder went on.
Collimated the mirrors, put the OTA on my Tasco 11-TE5 mount, and "Voila!" - new-to-me scope! Works pretty well too - managed to split the 8th magnitude companion of Polaris with it.

By Government Contracts Editorial Staff
The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court's order vacating an arbitration award because, by concluding the local Afghanistan subcontractor was not required to comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses incorporated in the subcontracts, the award was irrational and the arbitrator exceeded his authority. The subcontracts incorporated many FAR clauses, including FAR 52.249-2, Termination for Convenience of the Government, and a clause providing that the subcontractor owed the prime the same obligations that the prime owed the government, as set forth in the incorporated FAR clauses. After the government terminated one of the prime contracts for convenience and the prime notified the subcontractor it was terminating the corresponding subcontract for convenience, the prime rejected the subcontractor's settlement proposal as unsupported. The prime nevertheless included the subcontractor's claim in the settlement proposal it submitted to the government, but the government informed the prime it had overpaid the subcontractor and refused to pay any of the subcontractor's claimed termination costs. The government subsequently terminated the second project, and after the prime refused to pay the subcontractor's settlement demands, the parties proceeded to arbitration in accordance with both subcontracts. The arbitrator awarded the subcontractor more than $1 million. The district court vacated the award because the arbitrator "voided and reconstructed parts of the [s]ubcontracts based on a belief that [they] did not reflect a 'true meetings [sic] of the minds.'"
Achieve Desired Result. Because a court's review of an arbitration award is limited and highly deferential, the question on appeal was whether the arbitrator exceeded his power in finding that the subcontractor was not required to comply with the FAR provisions. Arbitrators exceed their authority when an award is "completely irrational." In concluding there was no true meeting of the minds when the parties entered the subcontracts, the arbitrator found that, "in view of the fact that the normal business practices and customs of subcontractors in Afghanistan were more 'primitive' than those of U.S. subcontractors experienced with … [g]overnment work," it was not reasonable to expect that Afghanistan subcontractors would be able to conform to the "strict and detailed requirements" of government contracts. The arbitrator also alluded to the subcontractor's hand-written receipts written in the "native language" and use of dates from the Islamic calendar. However, although the arbitrator could evade the subcontracts' passthrough provisions based on the parties' actual past practices, he could not do so based on the rationalization that to enforce the FAR clauses would be unjust. The award was irrational because it directly conflicted with the subcontracts' FAR-related provisions, without evidence of the parties' past practices deviating from them, to achieve a desired result.

Welcome to my Blaze Review!
This system by Art Flair claims you can make $408.07 each day within 45 minutes.
Now that's a bold claim!
You're probably here as you're wondering "Is Art Flair's Blaze a scam or can I really make money with it?"
I congratulate you on being here and doing your own research.
In my review, I will reveal to you key things about this system so you can decide whether it is the right fit for you and your current needs.
There are so many systems and products that promise to make you earn money in a short spell of time only to leave you feeling frustrated and disappointed as they don't work as expected or worse still, end up leaving you out of pocket with nothing to show for it.
If you're fed up with these false promises of making easy money online, check out a proven method that works!
Making money online is possible with the right training and tools.
Anyways, let's begin this review …
Blaze Review
Name: Blaze
Launch Date: November 2018
Level: Beginner to Advanced
Who Is It For?: Those interested in Internet Marketing
Price: $12.97 + upsells
Owners: Art Flair
Training: Video-based
Overall GoWorkFromAnywhere Rating: 3/10
What Is Blaze About?
It is a method that can see you earning over $400 per day in 45 minutes just by copying and pasting.
You do not need any experience or skills to use this system as it is beginner friendly.
It uses free traffic and free online tools. No website is required, no list or no 'big' budget.
I have seen many products with similar "copy and paste" claims which can mean copying the owners build a website and going off and doing the same (pasting).
Saying you need no experience is not only deceptive but it leaves you with a system or product that is of no use to you as you don't have the necessary skills to 'copy and paste' what it is they are showing you.
This seems to be the latest marketing tactic that many product owners are using – 'copy and paste systems' – which require much more work than a simple copy and paste.
Shall we see how Blaze works? …
How Does Blaze Work?
You will have access to 11 training videos all to do with Affiliate Marketing.
Affiliate Marketing is a great business model and it is one I use to make money online.
It is beginner friendly, has low start-up costs and is an evergreen market. With more and more companies moving their businesses online, the market is growing at an exponential giving you the opportunity to promote more services and products
Check out the short video clip below on what Affiliate Marketing is in a nutshell.
Affiliate Marketing is basically promoting the services or products of a vendor and earning a commission when someone clicks on your unique affiliate link and makes a purchase.
There are literally thousands of networks you can join but with systems like these, they will recommend networks that they use to promote their own products like Warrior Plus, Clickbetter and ClickBank.
These networks often sell and promote products that promise you lots of money with little effort.
Anyway, with Blaze, you will learn things such as finding the right affiliate offer, the importance of having a blog (which is like a website), you will be shown some free online tools and you will learn about driving traffic to your website.
All these items are key to you becoming successful as an Affiliate Marketer.
However, the "training" is just 1.5 hours long.
That is definitely not enough time to cover these steps in detail.
Not only that, you will not be making money within 45 minutes.
So you will need a website and you will need to attract visitors.
Traffic is very important if you want to make money as an Affiliate Marketer.
Without traffic don't expect to make money.
They mentioned on their Sales Page that this system is beginner friendly. Creating a website, and driving traffic to it takes some learning.
Blaze certainly isn't a 'copy and paste' system.
If you're new to Internet Marketing, the best way to start is to learn the ropes, not to invest money and time in these products and systems that will 'tell' you things but not teach you.
To be successful online, you need proper training that will teach you the steps and give you hands-on training for you to gain the necessary skills and knowledge.
Is Blaze A Scam?
No, it isn't but it isn't for a newbie to Internet Marketing.
The Sales Pages claims that it is newbie friendly, no experience or skills required and so on to lure you into signing up.
As a newbie, I can guarantee you that you will NOT be making money within 45 minutes.
This system is no different to the Compoundly System that I reviewed recently where they claim it to be newbie friendly only to find that there is more to it than meets the eyes.
It will take you some time to watch the videos and to implement everything as well as building up an online presence BEFORE you can even earn a dollar.
Saying you can make money within 45 minutes seems a bit far-fetched.
They suggest you purchase some of the upsells to make money. This doesn't surprise me as most of the products I have purchased to do my reviews claim to make you money but will only do so if you purchase further upsells which can have a price tag as high as $97.
Blaze may seem cheap and cheerful but you won't be getting a complete system that will make you the kind of money they say it can make you without you forking out more.
Systems like these make it sound so easy to make money online which is so far from the truth.
If making money online was so simple and easy then there would be no employees. Everyone would be their own boss.
But the reality is – it takes a lot of hard work and patience.
You will be at the mercy of these product owners who will be quick to sell you their next product even if you're not making money with the current one and if you're not careful, it is so easy to get caught up in all the hype that you overlook the amount of money and time you have wasted and invested in these products.
It's not your fault.
Many people are looking for ways to make money online so what looks legit, they will buy.
As you're here with the intention of buying Blaze, I want to show you a proven method that works which doesn't require you to buy system after system or product after product.
In fact, you will NEVER need to buy another "make money" system or product once you use this method as this method will allow you to build several different income streams.
It is a method I have been using since 2016 and I am now earning a monthly passive recurring income.
- 30-day money back guarantee
- Affiliate Marketing is a legit method
- Relatively cheap to join
- Price hike if you don't purchase straight away. This is just a marketing tactic to lure you into buying the product
- Upsells
- You need the upsells in order to make money
- Not beginner friendly
- Unlikely that you will make money using their step-by-step method
I hope my Blaze Review has given you enough information for you to decide whether to invest in this system or not.
Unfortunately, I do not recommend it.
Systems like these are full of hype on the sales page giving you high hopes but will leave you disappointed.
Making money online takes time and does require you to have some experience and skills. You won't gain this by buying products and systems that says otherwise.
Let me tell you a secret…
Making money online isn't rocket science!
There are no gimmicks, no tricks, no such thing as pushing a button or clicking the mouse a few times to make tons of money.
They are all myths.
What it takes is hard work, patience, and commitment.
It's worth it when you consider that you can leave the 9-5 (if you're still working), be your own boss, go on vacation when you choose to, spend time with family and friends, take a vacation on your own time and living life how its supposed to be.
We only get one chance at life so why not make the most of it.
There are many places I plan to visit. I can do so due to being able to work online and work from anywhere.
I was able to go on Safari to the Maasai Mara 🐆🦏 during the migration season and I also visited the Taj Mahal all while making money online.
That is just the tip of the iceberg.
They say hard work pays off and it certainly does.
I was only able to take these vacations due to my online business.
I learned how to build an online business using a training platform that taught me from the ground up how to be successful online.
With the FREE sign up which gave me access to 10 video-based lessons, I saw what it took to become successful online. That was 2 years ago and I haven't looked back.
You too can sign up for FREE today or, if you want to take a chance with the Blaze system, that is another option.
However, if you are serious about making money online, the fast, simple and quick route always end up costing you more.
Here are some of the modules you will have access to as part of your FREE membership:
- Understanding How To Make Money Online
- Choose A Niche
- Building Your Own Niche Website
- Setting Up Your Website
- Getting Your Site Ready For Search Engines
- Creating Your Initial Website Content PLus MUCH MORE!
