Good Morning Lovelies… It's finally the weekend, we can all relax and do whatever ever we want. Sometimes during the weekend I like to take time to pamper myself, with a mask or two, they help me to feel beautiful and relaxed. They make masks for just about everything, today I wanted to write a little review on Sephora's Lip Mask, I've used both, but today I will be talking about the Moisturizing & Softening Rose Lip Mask.
Sephora Rose Lip Mask-Moisturizing & Softening
This is a leave on sheet mask for the lips, it looks like over sized lips👄-kinda funny- the mask is saturated with the product. It doesn't have a strong smell, I really haven't noticed a smell any of the times I've used it. This mask is infused with natural rose extract, to moisturize and soften lips, in as little as 15 minutes. Also its paraben free! After removing the mask, my lips always feel so soft and they look better as well, this mask really comes in handy when wearing matte lippies all the time. Sephora also has another lip mask for protecting & repairing, I love that one for winter.
- You remove the two protective films from both sides of the mask.
- You position it on to your lips, like the diagram on the back of the packet shows-I forgot to take that picture-
- Leave on for 15 minutes
- Remove mask and massage in any leftover product into the skin.
I always exfoliate my lips before I doing the mask, it seems to help the process and my lips soak up the product better. When I first bought this mask I read the reviews online, and they were all mixed, but I really do believe this mask works. My lips are softer, more hydrated and they look as if they have less lines, really helpful in lipstick application. Another plus of these masks is that they only cost $3.00, easy on the wallet. You should really give them a try, I totally recommend both of them. The lip mask is easy to use, doesn't take up a lot of time, and they actually do a good job. Until next time!💋

Whatever I shall do, I shall never put into the School, the measure of what I got out of it in [my] student days!
Mary Danvers Stocks
Mary Danvers Stocks (1891-1975) graduated from LSE with a first class BSc in Economics in 1913. She taught at the School during the First World War and was one of 24 women teaching at LSE in 1918, when the first women got the vote.
An extensive career in academia included 12 years as Principal of Westfield College. Mary also devoted her life to public service, campaigning and activism, from her childhood support of the Boers aged 8 to teenage membership of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. As an adult she campaigned for issues from the ordination of women priests and equal pay to university education and the NHS. She published books, served as often the only woman on government committees, and developed what became a successful career in broadcasting.
Her work was rewarded in 1966 when she received a life peerage and became Baroness Stocks of Kensington and Chelsea.

Thanks For Clearing That Up
Posted by gauloises1 on May 8, 2010
Jelena Jankovic d. Serena Williams, 46 63 76(5)
To quote a good friend of mine: JJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am really gutted I missed this match (I have a job, OK?) because it sounds like it was a cracker. After splitting sets, Serena was 5-2 up in the decider before getting pegged back to a tiebreak which JJ just edged – and which had its fair share of drama. First of all, JJ complained to the umpire that she wasn't ready for one of Serena's serves (somewhat inexplicably); then served to Serena when she had her hand up to signal that she wasn't ready, and threw a hissy fit when the umpire called her on it. After match point, Serena held JJ back at net to explain that she wasn't trying to screw JJ out of the point, and said something that sounds suspiciously like "I would never treat you like that … I'm not Justine Henin." You can relieve the whole glorious episode below.
Serena, of course, later tweeted that "today was the ULTIMATE choke" and explained that she played the match as if she had been off the tour since "January 1942". On the Serena sportsmanship spectrum, I'm really not sure where this whole match falls.
But I am sure that JJ is doing fantastically well. I know it's their weakest surface and her strongest, but back-to-back victories over the Williams sisters – one a simple exercise in domination, one a hard-fought and lengthy struggle – is a huge achievement. If she can triumph in the final, she'll have won two of the biggest titles on tour in 2010 and gone through the best players to do it. And on a personal note, after a largely dreadful 2009, it just feels so good to be excited about the way JJ's playing again. I love it.
So this afternoon she'll be taking on Maria Jose Martinez-Sanchez (a name I like to spell and punctuate a little differently every time I use it), who beat Ana Ivanovic in straight sets. Again I didn't see the match, but I do know that Martinez-Sanchez is a fantastically tricky and creative player who basically puts your soul in an acid bath of frustration every time you have to watch her play your favourite. So I'm just going to assume that she tied Ana in knots, because that's what she does. This is a career accomplishment for Martinez-Sanchez, though, and a good chance for her biggest title yet – this from a woman who semi-retired a few years back because she wasn't sure she wanted to be playing any more. Great stuff.
As for Ana, she gets a bye in Madrid as a result of reaching the semis and will face JJ in the second round, which … oh my god the final's starting now! Laters.

Missed the dramatic match, but I did see almost all of MJMS/Ivanovic. Thought MJMS played really well, and the best word I can use to describe Ivanovic is rushed — she just never seemed comfortable or at ease out there, as I don't think she could handle the changes in spin and pace that were coming off MJMS' racket.
May 8, 2010 at 4:46 pm
I really had forgotten how beautiful JJ's tennis is when she is on, though i will ask this…Did she shank a lot of balls against Venus or Serena? I'm asking because watching the highlights, it sounded literally like half the shots were coming off the frame, or the strings right by the frame. Could be that she's strung her racquets at a lot lower tension than either Venus or Serena, but the difference in sound was remarkable. Kudos to her for beating the Williams back to back, a feat that is rarely accomplished, let alone taking the title after managing that first feat.
May 9, 2010 at 12:10 am
Sorry neil she lost. LMAO
May 9, 2010 at 3:01 am
I saw that LOL, like i said, beating the williams sisters back to back is tough enough, and even if you do that, its rare to go on and win the title.

The game starts at 1 p.m. Saturday at Brady Street Stadium.


text: WeeAl 759 Report post Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, Carbomb said: I was under the impression that the SDLP were basically Sinn Fein but with the difference that they'd take their seats in parliament. Are there any other significant differences between them now? I know their other main difference was the rejection of violence, but with the GFA I'd have thought that had become a lot less relevant. Also, why's it not such a positive outlook for the Alliance? I would have thought that it would've been the preferred choice of any Protestant or Unionist who wants to Remain, which would give them the majority vote in Norn Iron? Policy wise there probably isn't a huge difference between the two, post GFA. Where I expect most would see their difference (other than the ones you've mentioned) is in the belief that their intentions and commitment to their policies to put the people above their own self interests, are a little bit more genuine. The SDLP and the UUP, are seen to be a lot more moderate and willing to talk, without the redlines, barriers to discussion and refusals to negotiate by vacating Stormont. Whether this is because that's actually the case or because they have very little power so they have to claim that they would be more open to debate and compromise, remains to be seen. Alliance are going to struggle simply because Northern Ireland has drifted increasingly more towards Sinn Fein and the DUP. The moderate vote overall has been suffering in general elections (although did well in the European elections last time). Alliance have a chance in East Belfast, where Naomi Long was a distant second the last time out, but if they are going to gain a seat then this will be it. In North Down, Sylvia Hermon's retirement will mean over 40% of the vote share will be up for grabs. The Alliance could have been in with a shot of taking a good amount of that, but with Hermon's retirement, the UUP will be running a candidate again, so Alliance will probably get a bump, but it'll likely come down to a race between the UUP and the DUP (who really wouldn't need to gain much, if UUP and Alliance split the rest). They'd only be in trouble if Hermon's voter base moved fully one way or the other, which is unlikely. I guess it all depends on just how scared the voters over here are over Brexit, in the areas that matter where it could make a difference in the polls. The area's most affiliated with remain in the referendum, are more likely to be Nationalist, so the Alliance candidate is not going to do as well there. In the areas where they have the most support, these are the areas where there is slightly less worry over the issues Brexit will bring (mainly that they are further away from the border), and so the vote bounce they may get might not be enough to make a real difference.

Monstroid 2 WordPress Theme Review
My review of the first version of Monstroid was popular enough to warrant a review of the Monstroid 2 WordPress theme, which was recently released by Template Monster. I'll have to admit that my review of the first version of this theme had me a little skeptical about where they were going with this. I'm pleased to say that the couple of years since they developed the first one, has given them time to make vast improvements. I'm going to cover a few highlights about the Monstroid 2 WordPress theme.
Monstroid 2 doesn't seem as bloated as the first one. The whole process is more streamlined and takes less time to set up. You'll see in the video, that in the first run through I was able to install the demo data in just a couple of minutes. This is a huge improvement over the first version of this theme. Installing the demo data was much easier this time, because the entire process is more streamlined. It's simpler to do, and you don't have as many options to choose from. All it boils down to is reading carefully and choosing the right option that fits your needs.
Monstroid 2 seems to be much more stable than the previous version. This is surprising, considering it has a page builder in the backend. Sometimes, these page builders can cause your browser to crash, or it can cause other issues. Occasionally, I would get an error or some sort of pick up in the first version when installing demo data or working in the backend. There seem to be too many parts and pieces to the previous version. However, Monstroid 2 seems to be much more integrated as a solid WordPress theme. Monstroid 2 is not some sort of Frankenstein monstrosity like its predecessor.
After a quick install, the Monstroid 2 WordPress theme gives you several options between different skins, depending on the type of website you're trying to build. If you have a general idea of what type of website your wanting to build, you can use one of these skins as a base for your website. This makes it much easier to visualize your website as a whole, enabling you to plug in images and text as needed. This makes the construction process of building your website quicker and easier.
Modular page builder
Page builders are becoming a staple of any serious word press theme framework. Monstroid 2 is no different. They added a much more robust page builder, which enables you to create any layout you can imagine. You can plug in different modules and customize your layout and design. Each module has its own settings, which enable you to customize the look and feel of that section. Instead of custom coding each section, or struggling with CSS and selectors, you can refine things like margin and padding inside of each module. This gives you complete control over spacing and the overall look and feel of your website. This takes a lot of the struggle out of the construction process of building your website.
The modules also enable you to add features to specific sections of any page. The premade page templates provided in the demo data make it easy for you to customize and edit different layouts. You have many different layouts to choose from, but if you want to customize a specific section it is easy to do with the modules in the backend. You can customize things like the number of columns, as well as specialized layouts with varying widths.
As people always say, the devil is in the details. This is especially true with any sort of WordPress theme that bills itself as a multiuse theme. Monstroid 2 enables you to add extra little details that people love, like hover effects and animations. People love it when they hover over an icon or a graphic, and it does something like change colors or shape. Having elements slide in as you scroll down the page is definitely a nice feature. It's also fully controllable from the back end of your website. This enables you to create your own custom experience for anyone visiting your website.
Added features
The ability to create a booking calendar for your clients is something that is very useful. A lot of my clients provide services, where they schedule blocks of time for their customers. Enabling your customers to go online and schedule an appointment with you on your website, makes it extremely convenient. It also makes sure that you don't miss out on opportunities. It makes it really easy, when your customers condone your website and book an hour of your time without having to make a phone call or talk to someone.
There are also several other plug-ins integrated with Monstroid 2. You can create a restaurant menu, add an events calendar, integrate social media, and more.
My verdict
The first version of Monstroid and the Monstroid 2 WordPress theme aren't even in the same categories. Monstroid 2 is much quicker, and packed with much more features than its predecessor. Another thing I really like is the GPL license, which costs a couple of bucks extra, but is well worth it to be able to install Monstroid 2 on as many websites as you want. This really maximizes the bang for your buck. When you need to build a website quickly, I'm definitely going to add The Monstroid 2 WordPress theme to my arsenal. In the coming weeks, I plan on putting Monstroid 2 through its paces, to see how it holds up when building different client websites.
Did you watch the video? Would you think about Monstroid 2? Do you think it would be a solid choice for your website? Please leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

My name is Nichole Spates and I launched LensMoments by NS in early 2018. I'm not new to WordPress, having maintained a personal blog, EONYC, since 2015. EONYC: "eye on New York City" documents my observations on living in a great city.
My goal for LensMoments, beyond satisfying my own creative desires, is to provide beautiful images to customers via art prints available on various materials and custom-printed functional pieces such as tote bags, phone skins, travel mugs, clocks, pillows, cutting boards and more. In turn, these products will help me to spread the word about my brand and also will help to finance my continued growth as a photographer.
Since August 2018, I have had a shop on Society6 to sell those functional items. I have sampled some of their products myself and found them to be of great quality and I feel that they do my designs justice! These products also make great gifts.
In addition. I can custom print any items not available on Society6 via Printful. This company offers the artist more printing options on bags and apparel, and there is an option to add any desired text. Also all of their products are made in the USA.
In addition, I use local printing company AdoramaPix to create beautiful home, office or hospitality quality prints. They do beautiful work.
I do hope that you will follow this new site and my older one, EONYC . Also, please stop by my shop on Society6 . You can always reach me via email@example.com and follow me on Instagram: @nicholespates.

Metacam And Renal Failure In Cat – Anonymous – US
I have a cat who was given Metacam oral suspension for pain and swelling after having a abscess cleaned on his paw.
The dosage was 9 drops by mouth once daily for 4 days. A few days after that he went into renal failure. Creatinin levels and BUN levels through the roof. Impending cardiac failure. He was put on IV fluids, has recovered some, but worried about permanent damage. What is the protocol for a vet prescribing "off label" medication? Should there have been a release form? Should there have been level set's done on blood work to determine if he was at risk for taking NSAID's? Since there is not a licensed dosage for cats in the US it is hard to tell if he was overdosed, but appears to be when looking at the 2 drop loading dose, and 1 drop maintenance dosage for a dog. Any help would be appreciated.

It's been hot in the swamp this week. The rain that fell Tuesday at the Audubon Center at Francis Beidler Forest did little more than fill some low spots in the swamp, but water has yet to begin flowing downstream toward the Edisto River. In some areas, only the cracks in the mud collected water.
In lower areas, the water is more than an inch deep, but the cracks can still be seen below the film-covered water.
Though the heat and humidity have been high and the water level low, but the business of producing life has continued. A Great-crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus) was spotted sitting on a nest across Goodson Lake from the observation tower. The nesting bird is half rolled on its side with its mouth agape in an effort to dissipate heat.
On the boardwalk stretch back to the nature center, we were able to capture something we had previously observed regarding Golden Silk Orbweaver (Nephila clavipes) behavior. The male spider is much smaller than the female and she continues to grow throughout the summer. Males are often observed on the web with the female, but males maintain above and behind the female. This positioning appears to be an attempt to remain off the female's dinner menu. However, the male is there for a reason and how is mating to occur if such a safe distance is maintained? The male's strategy seems to be one of patiently waiting until the growing female must shed her too-small exoskeleton and, like a soft-shell crab, is too flaccid to fend off or devour an amorous suitor.
The female's shed exoskeleton can be seen above the pair of spiders.

So its the week that Joe Hendry and El Ligero will find out their punishment for their naughty behaviour after the World Cup came to a end. With BT Gunn losing his Hardcore Championship last week it'll be interesting to see if Adam Blampied is able to ruin the Prestiges night once more.
So we start the night off with The Prestigious One and his little pet El Ligero. I say we start with them but thankfully Blampied never lets them talk, he comes straight out to tell the two very naughty children off, even demanding that Joe Hendry look at him when he talks.
His punishment is a match tonight against Kenny Williams and a match against Will Ospreay for the title at Refuse to Lose.
As for El Ligero he has to face someone in a Hardcore match RIGHT NOW for the briefcase…. Not that El Ligero HASN'T been fighting for that briefcase nearly every single match SINCE he got the damn thing.
No big speech from Joe Hendry, very funny angry Blampied and right into a match. I like that beginning.
EL LIGERO vs PRIMATE
Winner : El Ligero
Well…. Before Primate gets to the ring Hendry and Coffey attack the Hardcore champion on the ramp. Good point from the commentators that there is absolutely nothing that Blampied COULD do about it even if he wanted to after making the match a Hardcore one.
I liked the cocky Ligero sat on the chair just kicking Primate back just as the match begun. It didn't take long for Primate to get back up and dominate at least the pace of the match. Ligero had to try and match Primate in a Hardcore war, he did a good job and the whole thing went crazy. It was nowhere near what Primate did last week against BT Gunn but it had the two of them crash into the ringside helpers, get the audience involved and actually go out into the crowd. Its one of the things I love about WCPW, its like watching wrestling from my childhood when it was just exciting to see the wrestlers stagger around the crowd and throw one or two punches. I don't know why its exciting but its fun.
Always had a feeling Primate wouldn't walk out with the briefcase so you were waiting for either the Prestige to come out and help or something, I want to say underhand but its a No-DQ match so technically it wouldn't be underhand, to happen to give Ligero the upper hand. In the end it was BT Gunn and that horrible kick to the neck as he's holding the arm ON A CHAIR that won the match.
The BEST moment? When Ligero was slammed on the tacks and there was a close up on the ONE tack stuck in Ligero's arm. Or maybe when Primate stuck it down his trunks and Bradshaw said something about the "mini-Ligero's". I always cringe when the tacks come out SPECIALLY when it goes near the face. These guys are just… brave.
DIE JUNGEN LOWEN vs WAR MACHINE
Winners : War Machine
Sorry if I died a million deaths during the promo with Die Jungen Lowen but Lucky Kid has stolen the very small piece of debris I call my heart. All HE said was Hakuna Matatta but that was all he needed to say. I was just very happy to see this match.
Obviously… VERY Obviously this match will be under WAR MACHINE RULES!!! Which basically means War Machine have given themselves permission to just murder Die Jungen Lowen.
No matter how much I see War Machine I continue to be impressed by them. Their strength, their agility, the craziness that they bring to their matches and their fluidity as a team. Their matches are always the highlight of the night and they've had such amazing opponents so far and the lions just added to that list.
I was surprised that there were boo's for Die Jungen Lowen but they slowly died away as the match went on. One member of War Machine are bad enough to face so it wasn't surprising that they spent a great deal of the match making sure to isolate one or the other, usually Rowe, of War Machine. They are just as interesting a team.
Bottom rope broke which was hilarious, Lucky Kid lived up to his name being there at the right time more then once to break up big double team moves and pins, so many moments that left you on the edge of your seat and it just made me sad that it ever had to end. I thought Kid and Aslan had no chance but the second half of the match was really all about the heart they had to fight these two monsters and how they'd get them down for a full three count which ALMOST happened a few times. It broke my heart every time War Machine kicked out.
In the end a big splash took out poor Lucky Kid. It was one helluva match though.
I love Ospreay but when he does the wide eyed thing when he's angry I just can't help but laugh. I can't wait for his match against Hendry, it should be a great build to that match in the coming weeks.
So there is a advert for issue 5 of Wrestling magazine. I have already brought it but if I hadn't a advert were Adam pretends to be Marty Scurll would have had me buying it in a heartbeat. I completely ignored the next piece because I was too busy crying about how perfect Adam Pacitti is. Like if you haven't been paying attention he is my dream man and I love him so much and he's so tall and adorable.
So like Coffey is done with WCPW, he thinks the English hate him because he's Scottish… Ameem is pissed that he isn't thought of as the best Indian wrestler? I'm kind of confused as why I'd want to see him wrestle Joe Coffey.
JOE COFFEY vs PRINCE AMEEM
Winner : Joe Coffey
It lasted too long. Even though it was just basically Coffey kicking Ameem's ass which is the way it should be it was too long. I'm happy this happened after Adam Pacitti ruined my life once more because I didn't have to care about it but its also nice to see Coffey looking like a real ass hole once more.
We do get to hear from Hendry tonight which is great because I do love listening to him talk. Again just with these two promos from Hendry and Ospreay I'm extremely excited about their match and I hope we get a good build because these two are two of the best WCPW have and I think the two of them interacting in general is going to be great.
KENNY WILLIAMS vs JOE HENDRY
Winner : Joe Hendry
So to punish Hendry we get this match, Williams "embarrassed" Hendry in the World Cup so it was very much a question of whether or not he could beat Hendry again. Obviously Hendry didn't waste any time going after Williams, attacking when Williams back was turned, but the match wasn't one sided and it didn't take long for Williams to speed up the match to his advantage.
It was a match of Hendry doing just about everything he could do to beat Williams, it was never truly out of desperation either, anything he could do to slow the faster guy down or just cause pain just within the limits of what is allowed he did.
Was a good match and I'm happy that Hendry went back to a normal ankle lock to win the match. It wasn't as good as their match in the world cup but it was fun way to end the night and to be fair it came after such a amazing night that had kind of been spoiled a little by the Coffey/Ameem thing. It kind of blew the night away a little and stopped the episodes momentum.
Another great episode. Think its great having Ospreay vs Hendry leading up to Refuse to Lose and hope that they give the two the time to really build up the match because I'm already extremely excited and its only week 1.
The tag team match was fantastic and I liked hearing that the Lions are a new addition to WCPW because it gives me hope we'll see much more of them. I personally would love to see them become champions at some point and having one last story with Slater and Moss, I think Slater is ready to go into singles competition and having one last thing with a team that even the commentators pointed out is very similar to them in the mentor/student kind of thing would be interesting. I just think the Lions would be a great championship team after War Machine, as much as I love War Machine especially with them able to fight every match in War Machine mode I just don't see too many teams that can really stand up against them and look like they could beat them.
Lucky Kid is just about my favourite thing though. That guy has been my favourite find from the World Cup.
I would also like to point out that I just don't like Ameem as a wrestler. Its why the whole part with him and Coffey just bored the hell out of me. I don't find him charismatic or interesting on the mic, I don't think he can wrestle and having neither makes him uninteresting to me in general. Just hearing his music, which I also think is boring, bland and is like a siren of blandness now it has nothing to do with Kidd, makes me want to give up on whatever is going on. Like I can't even enjoy him being beaten up by Coffey, though I'm not sure of the point of all of it.
The return of Loaded has continued to be a success.

Quick weave hairstyles are not difficult to create but require some practice. The time required to create these styles depend on the quality of the hair or the style you want to create with the quick weave. This is known as an African American style which looks beautiful and classy.
Many different type of weave hair are available in the market in different weave hairstyles. You can create weaves to achieve long hairstyles. These weaves can be used to achieve hair expansion. Most people who have been achieving weaves for quite some time now exactly know who to care for the hair weaves. The first thing to remember while going for a hair weave is the fact that your hair should be in good health before you decide to achieve hair weaves. If you are buying some cheap hair for your weaves you might experience cuticle damage very soon. You might end up having split ends and frizzy hair. So we would not recommend buying any cheap hair weaves. It is not easy to style you might experience shaft damage.
You should buy some good quality products to care for the hair so the weave can be easily styled. The hair that is used for the weave is not same as the natural hair. It mostly comprises of the Indian and Asian hair. In case you are using synthetic hair the styling options are limited and minimized as you can use heat of any type on these weaves. If the weave consists of tight curls you just need to use wide comb to brush through the wet hair. The curls require some glossing cream to remain hydrated. Such products are easily available in the market. These products moisturize the hair using olive oil. Don't use too much of these products as you would certainly like to maintain the flirty bounce in your hair.
If the weave is wavy or straight you would require following certain steps to achieve a beauty, neat and classy look. If you want to achieve a neat look you would require blow dry or flat iron the hair. You should always use some good quality products like a shampoo and conditioner belonging to some good company. These products help to keep the hair moisturized. By following these steps you can keep your weave in good shape. Anyone who wants to achieve a quick weave hairstyle should bear in mind that these hairstyles require certain amount of care and effort to maintain. The products used on the weave should be good quality products in order to increase the life of the weave and reduce the damage to your hair in form of split ends.
Quick weave hairstyles can help you achieve any look of your choice. These are some unique styles which can help you achieve a look you dream of without costing much. There is no need to wait for a long time to grow your hair you can achieve any style you want even today.

Attorneys for StreamCast Networks have finally realized their mistake and amended the company's suit against Skype and its founders to include the VoIP outfit's new owner, eBay. On Monday, StreamCast which earlier this year sued Skype and co-founders Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis for RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) violations (see "Niklas and Janus? Whatever happened to the good old racketeering names like Jimmy The Fish?"), adjusted its original complaint, adding eBay to the list of defendants and seeking more than $4 billion in damages and a court order blocking the auction giant from selling Skype services. "Defendants have orchestrated an elaborate overseas shell game in an attempt to steal and wrongfully profit from technology that rightfully belongs to StreamCast, and which the defendants have used and are using to their advantage," the lawsuit states. The only real surprise here is that it took so long for StreamCast to add eBay to the complaint. After all, eBay's the one with the deep pockets here. If eBay wasn't already having second thoughts about its acquisition of Skype, it most certainly is now.

HWD 2014 at Rosewood Gallery
Featuring sculpture from Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, this year's HWD Regional Sculpture Exhibition is an incredible variety of materials, techniques and concepts.
Juried by Carrie Longley, Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at Indiana University East, the selection features over 25 artists and thirty artworks. "I'm drawn to the works which feature unique combinations of the familiar and imagined," wrote Longley. "With much of the work, the use of familiar materials or repurposed objects such as wood, steel, ceramics, even shag carpet initially captured my attention, while the imagined aspects encouraged me to further investigate, admire and wonder."
Artist awards, sponsored by United Art and Education, were given to Nathaniel Foley for "Three and One Wings," Christy Wittmer and Julia Sebastian's "there, there," and Tyler Bohm's "Ur." HWD is on view through September 26 at Rosewood Gallery. More information can be found at hwd.ketteringoh.org.

With the ESPY Awards occurring last night giving out honors for Best Team, Best Collegiate Player and Best Record-Breaking Performance, there should've been one award be considered for best meltdown out from any other sport.
During a minor league baseball game last August against the Chicago Dogs, Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks' Brennan Metzger was ejected for arguing balls and strikes with then-home plate umpire Mike Jarboe.
Metzger was tossed out of the game mainly for saying, "You're killing me!," to the umpire. Then he delivers an expletive-filled rant and subliminal message on what he thought of the umpire all game long.
The video of Metzger's full ejection and meltdown is listed in the link below.

Then he went on to explain in a post-game interview on why he brought out the trash can to begin with.

This was a strange piece of theatre, one quite, quite different to much of which I have seen of late. For starters, the set is unbelievably intricate and complex; a work of art, many works of art involved in each stylized prop and costume. How strange, when show after show the fashion is for simple, almost sparse sets. How refreshing. Then there is silence. Long, exquisite, exhaustive, pauses. Space enough for you to shift uneasily in your chair. Space enough for the world outside to fade.
Talya Rubin (devisor/writer/performer) and Nick James (co-devisor/director) have made a strident piece that is at once a homily to old muses and an exposition on guilt, redemption, regret, inevitability, lovers and love, greed and revenge.
This is not cookie-cutter theatre, sometimes it was stilted, difficult, awkward, weird and overly strong. The flipside of that coin is brave, unusual, daring. It is true, I was challenged by this performance. It was not palatable, chewy. It had a bucketfuls of charm, but nothing was made easy for me. It moved between disparate worlds without regard for my comfort.
This is complex theatre. It is not a musical immersion of colour and light that is easy on the palette like a soft-fruit sorbet. At times, it felt like an awkward dinner party where at least three of the guests have their own axe to grind. I think it will be appreciated best by those who appreciate stagecraft and playwrighting – upon leaving, I went home to refresh my knowledge of Chekhov, so as to dig a little closer to the artists intention.
I am struck by the fact that another performing artist is making apocalyptic art. Artists are a kind of coal-mine canary, taking the measure of the zeitgeist, reading the world, foretelling the coming weather. These plays are about the end-of-times, a deep tremor that is becoming omnipresent in our cultural psyche. This theme is never overt, but between the momentous imagery, the congruent narratives, and the strange madness of birds, there is food for thought enough to make a feast.
And I remember that Chekhov himself was born in a time-between-times, although they could not know it then. It was the time of Russian emancipation, in which serfdom was rescinded in the empire, at time of great upheaval and positive change, and yet the slow grind of life, the relentless dampening of human spirit was still in harsh focus in all of his work.
Rubin has absorbed that relentless feeling, and taken it to a new and misty place in the Bluebird Mechanicals.
A mystical world, and underworld, and other-world, created painstakingly by intricate cupboards and surfaces, by boxes that move and trolleys that slot into one another. There is something macabre and faintly threatening about how Rubin uses olde-fashioned toys and trinkets to play-act scenes, whilst literal and visceral projections provide an eery POV of the character. I am reminded of the chaos butterfly – one small action here having terrifying consequence for another elsewhere. It's almost like playing God.
Time moves, stands still. The narrator tells us our future. She has something to say. She has gone to great trouble to craft the tale. She has come a long way to tell us the story. We had best listen.
The Bluebird Mechanicals presented by Too Close to the Sun, is playing at Metro Arts from 7 – 16 September 2017.

Duke University Receives $9.75 Million for Big Data Initiative
Duke University has announced gifts and matching funds totaling $9.75 million for an initiative that aims to harness massive amounts of information in pursuit of solutions to society's biggest challenges.
Two gifts totaling $6.67 million from an anonymous donor, matched by challenge funds from philanthropists Anne T. and Robert M. Bass, will support the Information Initiative at Duke (iiD). Launched in 2013, the initiative brings together faculty and graduate and undergraduate students on projects that use "big data" to address a range of issues, from the identification of counterfeited art to the early detection of disease. In the initiative's first two years, iiD teams have collaborated with Duke Medicine to deploy personalized health care; with the Duke University Energy Initiative to improve energy efficiency; and with Duke's Social Science Research Institute to inform better public policies. The gifts also will provide flexible funding to iiD participants looking to explore new teaching and research avenues.
"The iiD has provided invaluable opportunities for our faculty and students to translate vast amounts of data into major breakthroughs," said Duke president Richard H. Brodhead. "This infusion of funds will allow us to continue to advance our understanding of how to convert data into knowledge for human benefit, as well as train students in these critical skills."

Ezekiel Elliott has officially taken an L with his domestic violence appeal … as the NFL upheld the RB's 6-game suspension today following an arbitration hearing at the league's NYC headquarters.
NFL-appointed arbitrator Harold Henderson handed down the verdict … after hearing Elliott's case from a team led by Jeffrey Kessler — the lawyer who's repped the NFLPA on several landmark appeals including DeflateGate.
Zeke also gave his side of the story while under oath … according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
The league suspended Elliott earlier this month after finding "substantial evidence" he engaged in physical violence against his then-girlfriend, Tiffany Thompson, a claim the Cowboys superstar has adamantly denied.
Elliott's team was reportedly prepared for this outcome … as Henderson denied a request to have Thompson testify at the appeal proceeding. Henderson also barred the introduction of notes and materials gathered in the NFL's interviews with Thompson.
Zeke's team is now expected to bring their case to federal court … where they're asking a judge to reduce the suspension.

NEWARK, N.J. (RNS) Every year, without fail, Joe Ferri writes a $100 check to the Archdiocese of Newark for the Archbishop's Annual Appeal, a fundraising drive that benefits a variety of religious causes.
This year, Ferri left the empty envelope on his pew at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Bloomfield. He's done writing checks.
"If this is the only way I can be heard, so be it," said Ferri, 70. "I'm disgusted. The archdiocese is not going to get another penny out of me."
Two weeks after The Star-Ledger disclosed that Archbishop John J. Myers is building a 3,000-square-foot addition on the expansive home where he will spend his retirement, it appears the work will cost the archdiocese far more than the $500,000 allotted for construction.
Editor's note: You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, but it's pretty tough to fool all of the people all of the time – especially if you happen to be a (somewhat unpopular) Catholic archbishop.
2 Comments
I've done this for many years. Before that, my last check was for a dollar, with a relevant note enclosed. As we all know, pricey retirement mansions are among the least problematic things about bishops' annual appeals.
A check, for $1.00 is Perfect!
It sends a message, without hurting the Church!
No FIRST FRUITS. 🙂

Subject: Aransas migration update - April 10
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 11:22:58 -0500
An aerial census of the Aransas NWR and surrounding areas made 10 April,
2002 estimated the number of whooping cranes present at 110 adults + 8
chicks = 118. The size of the Aransas-Wood Buffalo whooping crane
population in spring, 2002 is estimated at 174, with a maximum of 56 cranes
having started the migration. An estimated 31 cranes have migrated since
the last flight on April 4.
Recap of cranes observed: (118)
Refuge Lamar San Jose Matagorda Welder Flats Indianola
35+4 2+0 16+0 44+3 13+1 0
110 + 8 = 118
Census conditions were a high overcast throughout the day which made it
somewhat difficult to find all the cranes. All areas were covered except
Copano Bay. Light northeast and east winds were present that probably
prevented any cranes from migrating.
Migration Status: It is estimated that 31 cranes, including 4 family
groups, have started the migration since the last flight on April 4.
Extremely strong southeast winds blew April 6 which some of the cranes
presumably used to initiate migration. The cranes were grouped up more
than usual indicating impending migration. With good migration weather
forecast for the next 3-5 days, a majority of the remaining cranes are
expected to migrate in the coming week. The peak migration period is
normally just before tax time. Are the cranes flying to Canada to avoid
the IRS?
Wally Jobman of USFWS in Nebraska reports that a single whooping crane
confirmed March 20 on the Platte River in Nebraska is still there, along
with a pair on the Loup River in Nebraska.
Notes: On San Jose Island, the crane with an injured left wing was located
in a duo about two miles away from where it was seen last week. This
change in distance makes me believe the injured crane has some flight
The Indianola and Dewberry pairs were not located and believed to have
migrated. The pair of cranes in front of the refuge observation tower at
Mustang Lake were still present, allowing visitors to still see whoopers.
A whooping crane tour boat was also on the GIWW during the census flight.
A single bird was located on the North Sundown Bay territory where a family
group had been present all winter. The bird acted extremely nervous as the
plane approached. Although I could not see juvenal plumage, I still wonder
if maybe the adults had left their chick behind. This time of year, it is
sometimes difficult to differentiate adults from juveniles.
A break in a natural gas pipeline in Aransas Bay near Rockport was sighted
after take-off at 12:17 PM and called in to the Coast Guard. A light sheen
of product that covered a narrow strip of water about ˝-mile long emanated
from the violently bubbling water. Although gas was still bubbling up from
the break at 3 PM, the Texas General Land Office assured me that the line
to a local platform owned by Coastal Production had been shut down and the
problem resolved.
Habitat: Tides that have risen and covered oyster reefs in the bays and
all the mud flats on San Jose with water are above average. Seven cranes
were observed flying to fresh water to drink. Several cranes were observed
holding small crabs. The drought continues in South Texas despite some
storms that brought rain to north Texas and Louisiana.

Casino boss Sheldon Adelson funnels $20 million into initiative aiming to break up Nevada's electricity supply monopoly
Nevada has turned into an arena for a battle of billionaires as two business magnates are clashing over a constitutional amendment that aims to end the utility monopoly in the state. The amendment is set to appear on the November 6 ballot as Energy Choice Initiative, and has so far drawn more spending from the clashing parties than the Nevada Senate race, POLITICO wrote over the weekend.
Businessman Warren Buffett and his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate company currently own NV Energy, the state-run monopoly known to be Nevada's largest utility. Mr. Buffett has been found to have funneled $62 million to battle the Energy Choice Initiative. Among others, the camp of supporters of the initiative is represented by US casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who has so far contributed $20 million to support the proposed constitutional amendment.
As mentioned earlier, the measure (Question 3 on the ballot) aims to end NV Energy's monopoly and allow Nevadans to choose their energy provider. Both the YES and NO camps promise lower electricity bills, new jobs, and expansion of clean energy across the state. And both camps have the same arguments why state residents should back/reject the measure.
Opponents of the measure fear that breaking up the monopoly could put planned renewable energy projects at great risk. NV Energy has recently lodged a request for 330 megawatts of renewable energy and storage and has announced contracts of 1,000 megawatts of new solar energy and 300 megawatts of new storage.
If Question 3 passes, the utility would be required to give up ownership of power plants and only maintain and run Nevada's electrical lines. In addition, the Legislature will be obligated to create a new, open, electricity market that will allow customers to choose from a number of power providers.
Who Has the Upper Hand?
A similar measure was approved by a majority of Nevadans in 2016. Under state laws, a certain initiative should pass twice so that the Nevada Constitution is amended. However, the NO camp has stronger backing this time, and analysts believe Mr. Buffett's efforts will prevent the implementation of the proposed amendment.
Of the $95 million raised by both sides, NV Energy has funneled $62 million. Mr. Adelson has contributed $20 million to promote Question 3, which has made him the largest patron of the initiative. The measure has also been backed by data storage company Switch, which has contributed $12 million.
Analysts suggest that NV Energy has commenced its campaign against Question 3 much earlier than the initiative's YES camp, which has secured the utility provider with the necessary advantage. The measure won 72% of the vote back in 2016, when it first appeared on a ballot. According to experts, the majority vote was due to the popular belief that voters were casting a vote in support of renewable energy. However, fears that breaking up the monopoly could actually harm renewable energy initiatives seem to have grown over the past two years.
Major Las Vegas casino operators have been among the high-profile companies to opt out of NV Energy and seek other suppliers. Under state laws, companies can stop buying power from the state-run monopoly as long as they pay an exit fee determined by competent authorities.
MGM Resorts International paid a $87-million exit fee in 2016. Wynn Resorts and Caesars Entertainment Corp. have, too, been among those to leave. Las Vegas Sands, the gaming and hospitality giant led by Mr. Adelson has originally applied to exit NV Energy, but has then balked at the $24-million fee estimated by state gambling regulators and has eventually decided to stay in.

Guitare classique à vendreTweet
02 novembre 2016 - Suisse - Bâle-Ville - Basel
Rarely one can find Sergio Abreu´s guitars on the market nowadays. He is one of the most refined luthiers and his instruments are played by great artists such Brazil Guitar Duo, Fabio Zanon, Duo Siqueira Lima, Alice Artzt and Paulo Martelli.
The influence of Hermann Hauser I in Abreu´s work is very strong since Sergio spend his carrier playing in a Hauser 1930 (he still owns this instrument) and 1952.
The woods in this instrument are absolutely fantastic. The spruce top is very old (Sergio writes in the label OS - Old Spruce) and the Rosewood is gorgeous.
This guitar displays beautifully the main elements found in Hauser guitars: great clarity and separation between notes, deep and steady basses, and brilliant trebles. It has a fantastic range of colors and it is very comfortable to play.
The Scale length is 65 cm

You may often wonder why you seldom see job ads for chief executive officers. The simple reason is that CEO's do not need to apply; they are not job seekers as such, they are approached. They probably have not updated their resumes for years as they are in the fortunate position of not requiring them. Why? Because their performance is high profile and their achievements are evidential. They are their own resume.
They are easily assessed on past achievements being a powerful predictor of future performance. However, the rest of us job seekers are not in the position to be so fortunate. It is not that our achievements and skills are any less strong, but we have to prove it, and there are more of us a little further down the career ladder.
Resumes are part of a process you have to go through. It includes cover letters, the interview process, waiting whilst references, qualifications and employment details are checked. All of these procedures are designed for one reason – to give your potential employer an accurate guide to the job seekers' ability to perform the role advertised.
Here at Select Resumes, we always say that our job is not to write your resume or key selection criteria or cover letter. Our job is to ensure that you land an interview. The resume is a means to an end – and we always keep an eye on the outcome. By doing so, we have become one of the most valued and recognised resume writing companies in the business.
Our success is in part due to our ability to take note of the continual change in trends in HR requirements and what they tend to focus on in resumes. Naturally, the fundamentals remain the same, but we have found that by constantly analysing feedback and the fact that our team contains seasoned HR professionals, we are able to stay ahead of the curve in changing trends.
Things you may find an interesting read in our other blogs bear this out. For example, Applicant Tracking System (ATS) technology; highlighting the job seekers' soft skills; resume length; what to put in (and what to leave out!), all of these things are pertinent and need to be reflected in resumes.
These and more are the processes that you have to bear in mind in order to get to that interview. We will make the method as easy for you as just picking up the phone. Once you engage us, a whole team swings into action on your behalf dedicated to that one goal. Our sales agents will discuss with you your needs, and then they assign you a seasoned writer experienced in your profession. That writer will make contact with you to arrange a telephone consultation on a day and time convenient to you. During that conversation, they will coax a wealth of information from you that you maybe had not considered relevant. This extends to details about your key achievements that you most probably had filed away as 'just doing your job' but were, in fact, demonstrating talent and are crucial indicators of your ability to be a major asset to a future employer.
From there, the writer gets to work crafting a professionally written, powerful and compelling document. Our editors go through it with a fine-tooth comb, and from there it goes to the design department to be rounded off in one many exclusive design templates we've developed that will reflect your personality and get you noticed over the next candidate.
And that is what it is about. That's why the CEO does not really need a resume at all, their key achievements are probably well-known industry-wide, their working style is their design template, and their qualifications have spoken for themselves for years.
Your resume, with our help, gives you the same leverage and the same odds to succeed. Call us today for a free, no obligation chat on how your resume can get positive results.
Are you seeking a resume writing service? Select Resumes can provide this service to you at the highest standard. Select Resumes also offers dedicated selection criteria writers to give you the help that you need for even the most complex government job applications. Once you have secured your interview, talk to us about our experienced and passionate interview skills coaches so that you can feel more confident at your next job interview.

LEDs have been around for a while—nearly 60 years ago GE scientist Nick Holonyak, Jr. accidentally invented the light that would replace incandescent bulbs. Holonyak was trying to make a visible semiconductor laser while his colleagues raced to invent an infrared laser. He lost the race by a week, but won the war against inefficient lighting when he created that little red semiconductor light.
In the years since, LED technology has improved drastically leaving many of its initial complications behind. Still, many of the myths surrounding LEDs persist.
"LEDs are too bright and too white"
There isn't just one color or brightness level of LEDs anymore, so the bright white LEDs you may be imagining from 15 years ago are a thing of the past. Modern LEDs and control systems allow you to change color temperature and perceived brightness levels. If your LEDs are looking much whiter than the bulbs you previously had in their place, it may come down to simple overlighting. LEDs are measured in lumens—different to how traditional incandescent and fluorescent bulbs were once measured (in watts). Where it would take a 100-watt incandescent bulb to put out 1,600 lumens, it would only take an 8-watt LED to put out that same amount of energy and light. You should never replace a traditional bulb with the equivalent wattage in an LED.
"LEDs need time to warm up"
Not true! Unlike CFLs that come on slower or flicker, LEDs give full output, or 'instant on' from the time they're turned on. They can also be switched on and off without shortening their lifespan.
"LEDs can't be dimmed"
Sometimes the LED won't be compatible with the dimmer already in place. This is often easily solved be replacing the dimmer switch, or finding a compatible LED—there are a lot out there! Traditional dimmers work by cutting down the amount of voltage that reaches the filament, but LEDs are designed to be either on or off, meaning the circuitry inside won't be able to handle low current levels and will be damaged.
There are two types of light dimmers—leading edge and trailing edge. Leading edge dimmers are designed to work with high-wattage loads, making them great for incandescent bulbs, but likely not compatible with your LEDs. Trailing edge dimmers can control LEDs because they have a much lower-wattage range.
Dimmable LEDs have circuitry inside that allows them to respond to varying current levels or "pulsing" current waves—producing a dimming effect.
Tired of reading? Let us do the work.
Contact one of our LED experts to find out how a lighting retrofit could improve your space.
"LEDs don't give off any heat"
They do, but it's minuscule compared to that of fluorescent and halogen bulbs. They do not give off radiant heat in the direction the light is being emitted—part of what makes them use less energy. They also don't emit infrared light (IR), only visible light. You can't see IR so it doesn't add to the light's brightness, it just makes the bulb hotter and uses more energy. In addition to being more energy efficient, the reduction in heat output allows LEDs to be placed in areas where traditional light sources would cause a problem.
'LEDs are expensive"
This may have been true of first generation LEDs (in 1962, GE was selling Holonyak's LEDs for $260 a pop!) but prices have come down a lot, and are often just slightly more than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. Not to mention upfront costs are recovered quickly with energy savings.
"LEDs are bad for you"
Early generation LEDs were criticized for having too high a concentration of blue wavelength lighting, which, while helpful during the day for boosting mood, attention span, and reaction time, can interfere with circadian rhythm. (In recent years, we've been hearing about this as it relates to computer and phone screens.) Many manufacturers have solved for this by using violet light or coating the inside of bulbs to produce a warmer light. But, as stated above, nowadays there are virtually endless color temperature and brightness level options for LEDs, leaving it entirely up to you to determine how much blue light you want, and when you want it.
If you're doing an LED retrofit, you're most likely replacing fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent bulbs work by ionizing mercury vapor in a glass tube which creates UV light that is then converted into visible light by a phosphor coating on the inside of the tube. These lights are famously dangerous because the second a bulb breaks, you and everyone in your space has been exposed to the mercury once contained in that tube. Not to mention the other infamous virtue of the fluorescent: the headache-induing flicker.
Incandescent lights have a filament inside the bulb composed of the metal tungsten. When an electric current passes through the filament, it heats up to a temperature that produces light—and a lot of heat. If you've ever changed a lightbulb, you'll have firsthand experience with this: scorched fingers and broken glass.
Unlike these traditional light sources, LEDs don't contain mercury, lead, or other toxic materials and are completely recyclable.
"LEDs will need to be replaced"
Like all lightbulbs, yes, eventually you will need to replace your LEDs—but that time won't come for many, many years. Most LEDs are rated for about 50,000 hours of use—approximately 50 times longer than an incandescent bulb, 20-25 times longer than halogen, and 8-10 times longer than a CFL. If your LEDs are on 8 hours a day, that means it will be about 17 years before you'll need a replacement.
Hungry for more?
We use this space to air thoughts on the industries in which we take part: LED lighting, aesthetic commercial lighting, and the growing industry of LED lighting as a service.
Wavelength is proud to be part of a community that includes offices, hotels, schools, retailers, LED manufacturers, and energy project investors. Material published here, however, reflects only our personal views on lighting, not those of our various partners.

There has been some confusion over the official snow total here in Portland. Of course to meteorologists and weather stat geeks this is IMPORTANT stuff!
The official snow total that will go in the record books for the Portland observation will be 1.5″ from yesterday's storm
The official observations between 1940 and 1996 were taken at the Portland airport, but when the Portland NWS forecast office moved, the observations moved as well. At that time most of the time snow observations stopped at the airport. So for the past 20 years our official snow reports come from the Parkrose area, a few miles SE of the airport.
Around 2008 (during that big snow event) I noticed observers started occasionally reporting snow totals at the airport again. As far as I'm aware they have not been required to do that but they do from time to time. Someone from the FAA/NWS can correct me if I'm wrong about the observers out there.
Snow depth is also recorded at KGW which is part of the official downtown record. They had 1.5″ as well. Now today the observer reported 2.3″ AT the airport, so that may be a number you are hearing.
Here's our final snow map then which includes those totals:
Obviously the downtown and NWS office numbers seem a little low, although they fit well into the 1-3″ range I mentioned in the previous posting.
Now we've seen 2, yes 2 measurable snowfalls this month…how exciting. That means it's the SNOWIEST DECEMBER SINCE 2009. Very dramatic I know, but it's Portland.
Let's briefly talk weather…it's gonna be real quiet the next few days. Pretty much dry Friday-Sunday unless we get flurries, mainly on Sunday.
Skies will at least partially clear tonight, so I'm going for a 21 at PDX with our partially snow-covered ground. IF we get total clearing by midnight, these forecast temperatures will be on the high side:
Tomorrow night should be colder with drier air and NO cloud cover. I expect to see widespread teens even in the urban areas. Friday night should be the coldest we have seen in 3 winters:
By the way, I got very lucky last night. My commute (43 miles this time) was only 20 minutes longer than normal due to light traffic, a good 4Runner, and new studded tires.
Only 2″ snow for me, but enough to run my new (used) toy. A Craigslist snowblower! I bought it from some guy back in August. He moved here from Fairbanks, lived in Gresham, and didn't use it for 3 years. Fun times, but it would get really old if you have to do it every other day for 4 months!
Stay warm!

Source: The top 10 worst buzzwords of 2013
Author: Dan Solberg
Site: Kill Screen
My list of horrible video game buzzwords from the past year is up on Kill Screen. Consider giving it a look. It was a fun list to make because it allowed me to write jokes about dumb PR phrases while also venting a bit about the ways certain industry terms are used outside of upper management corporate strategy meetings. Spoiler: "content" the my number 1 worst buzzword this year for exactly that reason. I guess people are averse to using "product" now; perhaps it references the market too directly? I don't know, but "content" is just "product" for Millenials.
The other buzzword I was considering including was a perennial favorite, "fun." In 2013, it felt like "fun" came under fire more than it had previously, thanks in large part to critical breakdowns of what the term actually means in the context of video games from Ian Bogost and Leigh Alexander. It's similar to the way "beauty" was tied to the value of art for a very long time. All of a sudden there were painters and sculptures creating works that were not conventionally beautiful, works that could be a bit uncomfortable to hang over the couch, yet they were incredible, moving works of art. The need for games to be "fun" is likewise a limiter on what's possible in the medium as well as potentially constraining of what "fun" can mean. This is not meant to condemn fun games (after all, who doesn't enjoy having fun?), but rather to acknowledge what's actually being said when the "fun" descriptor is thrown into the mix.
