well, that's more like it!
As soon as the new Kowa arrived, I did a black and white test roll and I tried, best as I could, to switch up the lighting conditions. The test roll looked pretty good. I'm thinking this is a keeper. I still need to do a color test roll with the 85mm lens--the sampling below was taken with a 55 mm wide angle lens.

great, great site! the online course sounds incredible--if he offers one that doesn't involve night photography, let me know!
anyhoot. i'll leave comments on your site as well.
in the meantime, in terms of the b/w (or color) home-developing, i can't imagine not doing it! at this point, i'm only set up to develop my negatives at home (i don't have an enlarger, so i just make digital prints), so it's really the scanning that takes the most time.
now that my book is done, i might see about setting up a dark room so that i can do my own prints and alt work at home!

Some movies exalt the inane, whilst others help us to transcend looking back in anger and forward in fear, but around in awareness.
Reel Palestine, an annual film festival screening independent and alternative Palestinian films in the UAE is definitely in the latter category. Increasingly anticipated every year by the community, this not-for-profit, volunteer-based organization was founded by Dana Sadek, Nadia Rouchdy and Noora Husseini. Today the team includes Ali Aboteen, Bahaa Khayaali, Amira Shaheen and Tarik Qahawish.
Curious to know more , I recently spoke to Dana Sadek, Co-founder of Reel Palestine about their annual film festival, running on January 18th – 27th 2018 in the UAE.
Keeping it Reel
Born in 1985 in the US, Dana grew up in Dubai and has never returned to her ancestral village of Dayr al Qassi in Palestine. Like many Palestinian living in the diaspora, she struggled to connect with her roots.
Growing up in the UAE, I grappled to forge a bond with my Palestinian roots. My mother is Lebanese, and my father Palestinian, born in Lebanon and neither of them have been to Palestine. I hope to visit one day soon.
In 2014, Dana was amongst the millions of horrified spectators who watched the tragic war in Gaza unfolding on TV and felt frustrated. Her helplessness compelled her to dive in, contributing to causes that would impact people besides donating to charities she believed in. At that time Dana was working in film programming and realized what an important tool film is. Inspired by the impact it had on her and on the community, she realized the potential to develop a similar cultural event for Palestinians.
I thought how incredible it would be to put together a festival that unveiled art whilst supporting Palestinian self awareness and empowerment. After all, Film is an effective tool that has the ability to teach and touch people's hearts in a unique way.
Dana wanted to create a platform that would educate Palestinians in the diaspora about their homeland and also bring awareness to the situation they face.
She connected with long-time friend Nadia Rouchdy for advice and later Noora Husseini, together they created Reel Palestine.
We are showing real life. It was important to us to share the stories of Palestine and make a lasting impact. Film has a way of percolating deeply into everyone's consciousness and this can foster awareness and ultimately, transformation.
Films that holler use this art form as a weapon. Sensitivity is the healing and responsiveness the result.
Their first launch was a pop-up festival in January 2015 to showcase Palestinian culture and persistence through film, bringing awareness to viewers of the beautiful, difficult, emotional and inspirational moments that occur under occupation.
Festival of Festivals
This year marks Reel Palestine's 5th annual festival and promises to be magnificent with an exciting line up of films, as well as an enticing Palestinian artisan market. Wael Kabbani, director of "What Walaa Wants" will also attend the screening of his movie followed by a Q&A.
Dana concludes,
We hope to continue the festival every year and foster a home for it. Having support from filmmakers and distributers is vital for our platform. We are grateful to our sponsors like Nai and Camaly Clinic, that help make this festival thrive with each passing year.

That ride.
I just had that perfect ride.
You know the one – the one where it all clicks. The one where you ask him to move off your left leg and instead of laying further into it he moves laterally to the rail.
That ride where you finally nail a tricky rollback. Or he has decided to trail ride calmly without alerting you to every leaf that might fall or mailbox which could house a goblin.
A ride that you never want to end but know you need to stop pushing your luck at some point before it becomes "that" ride. A ride where you pull off your helmet and can wring the sweat out of your hair you worked so hard. But it feels so good.
The ride that makes you smile ear to ear, that makes you realize the daily grind pays off. The ride that justifies the time spent at the barn. The ride that validates your commitment to improving or accomplishing whatever task you sought to tackle, because you just felt real tangible progress.
That ride you think only other people are having—the perfect rider on the perfect horse, how could you ever compare. But then you do because you just had that ride.
It is a ride you can't even put words to. Barn mates will ask you how he was and you'll reply, "good," but nothing more. Because how can you explain what happened. How can you tell them that actually you have the smartest, most talented elastic and pleasurable horse ever to walk the earth. But they'll know, as there is now a lightness to your step that you didn't have as you slogged to the barn after work.
Your horse knows it, too—hence the extra peppermints. You'll give him a few more snuggles. Extra kisses on the nose. You'll stand outside his stall door, wondering when he got such a nice topline or that his shoulder looks strong.
As you get in your car to go home you'll feel a sense of sadness that you can't quite put your finger on for a moment. It is a feeling that you are leaving the bubble, the sanctuary which gave you that ride. But you've had it once, surely you can do it again soon.
You know it when it happens. What an amazing feeling. What a sheer joy to experience.
I want to tell the world.
I just had that ride.

In spring 2012, I am taking BabyGirl on her first trip to Italy! I'm so excited because it will also be my first time to Italy. We will be traveling with a homeschool group and the trip is primarily educational.
I was thrilled to join the group for this experience that will take us to to Rome, Naples, Florence, Pisa and Venice. We'll not only see marvelous sites but we'll also get to eat traditional foods and visit locations not usually on the traditional traveler's itinerary.
I'm excited and nervous. Excited to visit Italy and see history come to life. Nervous because I'll be traveling across the world with a 9 year old. Sure it's not like she's incapable of helping or taking care of herself. But, still, she's my baby and I worry. All the what-if scenarios are playing out in my head. That's normal, right?
As I mentioned, we're going with a homeschool group. People who are like us. Who won't think we're weird because we want to take time to read every. single. word. Families like mine who will spend the next several months learning Italian, knowing our kids will really be our translators. Moms like me who will scrimp and save at every turn to make this trip possible.
I was 14 when I first left the United States. OK, that's not really true. I lived in El Paso and would go to Juarez, Mexico on any given weekend with my Grandmother. But that really wasn't the same. At 14 I boarded a plane and set out for Israel. I don't remember what I thought back then. However, when I told BabyGirl we need to update her passport because we will be going to Italy next year she was as nonchalant as can be.
As if going to Italy is just like a trip to Disney. For her, though, it may be. I will spend the next several months preparing her for this trip. Italy will be woven into our curriculum at every turn. I want to be prepared as much as she is. I want to get the most out of seeing history come to life.
After a discussion of how we'll get there, things we'll see, places we'll go, the real questions came. She needed to satisfy her 8 year old curiosities. She had to know what kind of hotel we were staying at. The all important, do they have wi-fi and can we bring the iPad. And the ever-importnat kid question, "Do they have normal food?"
Fortunately we have over 9 months to get all our questions answered and prepare ourselves for what is sure to be a wonderful trip. My concerns, though, are much different. Well, except for the wi-fi questions which is actually very important. International travel presents a number of issues, the least of which is the who plug situation. Is it two prong or three. Do we need an inverter or converter? How do I best protect my laptop and phone? You know, important stuff!
I know I have plenty of time to figure this all out. It's an 11-day trip and I am already thinking about extending it a few days and going up to France. I mean, really, I would be very close to Disneyland Paris. *wink, wink*
So if I start getting obsessive about travel-related stuff you know why! And, if you've ever been to Italy, please tell me all the details and secrets. Please!

Human Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves woke up with his smashed veneers all over his pillow after being mugged by prostitutes
The plastic surgery addict was partying in Spain with a gal pal and had his drink spiked
HUMAN Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves woke up with his smashed veneers all over his pillow after he was mugged by prostitutes in Marbella who swiped £350 and left him with a £500 bar tab.
The plastic surgery addict was partying in Spain with a gal pal when a group of women started taking selfies with him.
But they made off and left an unsuspecting Rodrigo with a bar tab of £500 as well as taking another £350 from his friend's purse.
However, things got worse for Rodrigo, who has had £450,000 worth of procedures on his body, when he woke up his broken veneers on his pillow.
He told MailOnline: "I am man-made from head to teeth, and [on Thursday] morning I woke up without three of them.
"I had to run to an emergency dental clinic, who were able to glue and fix my big porcelain veneers."
When asked how his pearly whites could have been smashed, he explained: "I have been partying far too much and I guess that I must have had far too much to drink.
"During the night, I must have being having some kind of nightmare which made me rub my teeth against each other leading to them falling out."
"I have been getting a lot of critics about the look of my teeth, saying they're too big and too fake," he added.
"The dentist here in Marbella said that I should wear a mouth guard from now on to avoid having further issues."
Rodrigo's broken veneers came after he opened up to The Sun's Bizarre column about getting mugged.
He said: "I got really drunk, we got our drinks spiked, we got mugged.
"They stole €400 out of her purse and they left with me a €600 bar tab to pay."
Rodrigo said it happened last week when the group tricked bar staff into believing they were friends with him.
He said: "Basically they were talking to me, taking selfies saying 'we love you you're amazing' and then suddenly they vanished.
"I went to pay for mine and my friend's drink and it came to €600 - I asked, 'Why did you charge me that?' They said, 'All those girls said they were with you and to put it on your tab'.
"I said, 'I never knew those girls' and they said, 'You were taking selfies, kisses, this and that'.
"I said, 'I was just being friendly, I'm a public speaker and they just wanted to take a picture with me, maybe they liked me'. "But that doesn't mean I have to pay for everyone's night.
RODRIGONE Human Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves' dramatic transformation… from dad bod to plastic fantastic
"There was nothing I could do about it. So I went to pay the bill and my friend said, 'I'll help you' but when she went to get money out she said 'Oh my god those girls have taken my money too'.
"They just lied - they lied to the bar staff.
"Just like any other place, it can become dangerous and for someone like me who is unusual looking and has an unusual appearance, I guess that I can be target.
"We were mugged by a group of prostitutes in a bar. It's a wonderful place but people should be wary.
"I'm very open, bubbly - I don't have troubles about anything.
"It's taught me to be more wary about my surroundings.
"I complained to the establishment and then I got angry because it's not fair. My friend was flabbergasted - she said, 'How can people have the cheek to do that?'
"I have learnt to carry on being friendly and not to change my attitude to people but to be wary about my surroundings."

60 Seconds to make an Impression!
Yes, we all do it, some dread it, others relish it, but its a necessary part of promoting our business, the 60 second "Elevator" pitch!
This is probably a topic that there have been millions of articles written about, so you may have heard some of this before, but in terms of communication if something is worth sharing, its certainly worth repeating.
Networking; the good, the bad and the ugly.
In 2008 I rebranded and re-launched my company, Light Films. I devised a strategy that would enable our business to grow over an initial 5-year period.
One of the early physical marketing activities was networking. I made my way around most of the clubs in the local area. I audited the busineses, formats and the people that were involved in the events. I chose the clubs and events that I felt would benefit me most, and have always completed regular 'return on investment' audits to ensure the clubs continue to be lucrative for my business.
What does your email address say about you and you business?
I was contacted this week by a (self proclaimed) eminent authority on social media. He contacted me by email inviting me to attend one of his "world renowned" training courses. Nothing wrong so far, except it was sent with an email address along the lines of firstname.lastname@example.com
The information about the course was all on an eventbrite page. Again nothing wrong with that, but I would expect a link to the home page of the training provider, which was conspicuously absent.
A friend in need could be a friend indeed.
A friend of mine has written a book 'How to do Everything and Be Happy' and like every self respecting author he just had to have a book launch.
I wrote the date in my diary and offered to help any way I could. I thought I would be on drink duty but Peter suddenly asked 'Would you make some balloon hats on the day?'
Not what I expected.
Real Magic of Hollywood
Last month I had the pleasure to be at The Coaches and Entrepreneurs Extravaganza for 4 days at The Magic Castle in Hollywood.
It was a great event with many speakers, experts and authors in the room and involved. 90 amazing people in one place – and I believe the relationships formed there will be a big foundation for my business and my life in the coming years.
So, you might be asking, why am I telling you this and how will this help you?
Have you ever spent time with people who are negative and lacking drive and motivation? Spending time with those kind of people will tend to sap your energy and drain you.
However, spending time with people who are driven and motivated will help you to play a bigger game and give you more energy and motivation. I am sure you have noticed that too.
So as we look to build relationships that will help us in our business and our lives in general, it is important that we become conscious and strategic in the people we spend our time and energy with. Being at this extravaganza has helped me to realise what can happen when motivated, driven and positive people come together.
Here are just 3 of the things that I took from my time in Hollywood – and none of them involve movie stars – and I hope they help you too.
When It Comes to Networking – You Are an Animal
Networking – Are You Preparing to Fail by Failing to Prepare?
So you've made your choice about which networking groups you want to be part of and you're attending on a regular basis – so now what?
Well, how about some key pointers about what you should be doing to get the most out of the event?
Go Prepared
It might seem obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people turn up without business cards! If you have marketing material or sales brochures take them along – sometimes there will be a specific place at the meeting where you can display such things.
Are you looking for quality or quantity?
In the current economic climate, many businesses have seen a decline in the number of customers in the last couple of years yet a focus on quality rather than quantity may be a blessing for businesses.
I hear so many people at networking events tell us they can do everything for everyone. Yet business owners will benefit from identifying their ideal customer then focusing on attracting that ideal to their business.
How memorable is your networking presentation?
If you're a keen networker you are probably very familiar with the 60 second pitch (or in some cases 40 seconds or two minutes). If you've been to a lot of networking meetings it's often hard to remember everyone, lots of people stand up and 'wing it' and, occasionally, someone stands out from the crowd, but mostly they all sound pretty much the same.
The challenge we have is finding something really memorable. However, there are a number of ways of embedding your message:
Are You Paying the Price for Networking?
You Must Be Mad Joining A Networking Group!
Before joining any networking group there are some key considerations that you should make. Here we take a look at 10 things for you to ask yourself before you commit to any networking organisation or even if you are already a member of one!
1. Cost
Weigh up the overall financial implication to your business and the likely return you are going to get on your investment. 4Networking for example could cost you over £700 in the first year (if you attended each fortnightly meeting).
Stepping out of the comfort zone…
Stepping out of the comfort zone…
Now I know this isn't exactly an "IT" style post however it got lots of comments and people talking when I posted it on our website a few weeks ago. Some of you may well know Nick Hill and some of you may have even been at the realm of Mr Hill's amazing tactics!
A few weeks ago I spent a day learning the art of the "60 Second elevator pitch"
For those networkers amongst you, you'll know exactly what it is. For those who have not yet had the pleasure of networking it is in short "how you'd describe your business if you were in an elevator with someone for 60 seconds".
Sounds really simple when you put it like that however trust me when I say it is far from simple. The idea is you've got between 40 and 60 seconds to pitch your business. Try doing it without waffling, going off on a tangent or without having palpitations, spitting your breakfast everywhere or blushing like a plump English strawberry.

Many years ago Howard Gardner described our "multiple intelligences." I found his work deeply affirmative of the choice I had made early in my adult life to give precedence to my auditory mind. Formal education, it seemed to me, was organized primarily by visual and verbal experience. These were not the areas that mattered most to me. I made the choice to go with the ear--my own and that of others.
Now, many years later, I find that the formality of education begins already in pre-school with its over-emphasis on multiple choices (that is, tests) based on visual and verbal experience. In the meantime I have staked my entire life and career on the proposition that the auditory intelligence is one that binds people to one another in many powerful ways, not at all comparable to the visual or the verbal. This is not to put down the latter two; just to maintain that they are different.
How odd to realize that what I have felt all along to be most central to life is now considered "far out."

3D has come a long way since we made 3D glasses out of cereal boxes and sweet wrappers. For one, they work with much more than just the free comics you used to get in the newspaper. Now you can go to see fantastic 3D films, watch 3D TVs, even take 3D photos on your smartphone.
You can also get yourself a 3D computer monitor. Let's have a look at the latest one from AOC. The latest monitor from AOC, has a 23 inch flicker free display, so you can say goodbye to eye strain. As well as the monitor, you get two pairs of passive polarised glasses.
They are thankfully very lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear, and better still, will work with any FPR TVs or monitors that you buy in the future. It isn't just computer connectivity that you're afforded either, you can attach the monitor to any 3D Blu-ray players you may have, or to your PS3 or XBOX 360.
How much better will gaming and movie nights be when they come with 3D video and sound, eh? Speaking of sound, you won't need additional speakers either, because there is a pretty nice pair built into the monitor.
The AOC e2352Phz flicker-free 3D monitor can be yours for just under $270 (£200). You'd pay that for your average souped up screen, so why not get yourself a 3D screen for the same price. Go on, you deserve all of the 3D display goodness you can get your hands on!

Your mortgage coming to an end may not be the only option open to you when funding your pension.
Many people have savings plans which are due to mature, or money in bank accounts earning a paltry rate of interest.
Maturing endowment policies
A popular method of saving in the 1980s and 1990s was endowment policies. In many cases, these were linked to interest-only mortgages. However, many savers switched to repayment mortgages in the early noughties because investment returns earned by endowment policies were no longer enough to repay the mortgage.
Nevertheless, a lot of people hung onto their endowment policy as a savings plan, no longer linked to their mortgage.
Given their popularity, many of the policies taken out in the late 1990s, over a typical term of 25 years, are now reaching the point at which they mature.
If the proceeds of an endowment policy were reinvested in a pension, this could create a substantial pension fund at retirement.
Money held in bank deposits and cash ISAs
Another potential source of funds is excess money held in bank deposits.
It makes good financial sense to hold at least some money in cash. Enough to cover 3-6 months income if you are working, or 2-3 years income if you have already retired and are taking income withdrawals from an invested pension fund (in this case, the cash may be held in a bank account or cash fund inside your pension).
You might also want to hold some cash to pay for emergency repairs to your home or car, or to replace white goods that break down and can't be repaired.
After making sure you have enough cash, you could consider investing any excess in your pension where it will attract tax relief.
Jane is 58-years-old. An endowment policy she took out 25 years ago has just matured with a value of £25,000. Jane doesn't have an immediate use for the money and was considering transferring some to a cash ISA and the rest to a bank deposit.
Jane is still working and is a higher rate taxpayer earning £70,000 a year. Jane pays £3,000 a year into her workplace pension and her employer matches this.
The annual allowance for pension contributions is £40,000. This is the maximum amount that qualifies for tax relief if paid into a pension in any one tax-year. Unused allowances from the previous three tax years can be carried forward (up to £40,000 each year), making four years' worth of allowance in total. This means someone who has a pension but hasn't paid into it recently could potentially pay £160,000 in one tax year (assuming that they had the earnings to support such a contribution).
However, higher rate taxpayers like Jane only qualify for higher rate tax-relief to the extent that they pay higher rate tax. As Jane earns £70,000, and higher rate tax is paid on all income above £46,350 (England, Wales and Northern Ireland), she can put up to £23,650 into her pension in the current tax-year and receive higher rate tax relief.
As Jane already puts in £3,000, she can put in another £20,650 in the current tax-year and still get higher rate tax relief on her contribution.
Jane decides to put £16,000 into her pension from the proceeds of her maturing endowment, and another £9,000 in the next tax-year which starts on 6th April 2019.
The £16,000 she pays in now attracts immediate tax relief of 20%, meaning that Jane's contribution into her pension is £20,000 (20% of the gross amount of £20,000 = £4,000 tax relief).
As Jane is over 55, she can take money back out of her pension immediately. However, Jane decides to wait until next year when she gets the remainder of her tax relief – another £4,000 when she submits her self-assessment return in July 2019.
In July 2019, Jane takes a quarter of her pension as a tax-free lump sum – an amount of £5,000.
Jane now has a total of £18,000 in cash, made up of the remaining £9,000 from her maturing endowment policy, £4,000 higher rate tax relief from her £16,000 net pension contribution and £5,000 tax-free lump sum.
Jane also has £15,000 still in her pension after taking the tax-free lump sum.
Jane's income in the 2019/20 tax year has also gone up to £76,000 meaning that she can pay the whole £18,000 she has in cash into her pension and get higher rate tax relief. This payment receives immediate tax relief of 20% or £4,500, making the total new gross contribution £22,500.
In addition, Jane will receive another £4,500 in higher rate tax relief when she submits her self-assessment return in July 2020. If she also paid this into her pension with 20% tax-relief, the contribution would amount to £5,625 making her pension pot a total of £43,125.
Jane now has £43,125 in her pension, £15,000 of which no longer has a tax-free lump sum available, and another £28,125 from which she can take a further tax-free lump sum of £7,031 whenever she wants.
As you can see, even assuming zero investment growth, Jane has turned a £25,000 maturing endowment policy into a pension pot of £43,125 in less than two years just using tax reliefs.
Around £36,000 of Jane's pension pot is taxable but she intends to wait until she retires to draw the taxable part, when she anticipates she will be a basic rate taxpayer. Until then, she has access to the £7,031 tax-free lump sum if she needs it (in July 2021, she will also get another £1,125 in higher rate relief - 20% of the £5,625 paid in July 2020 - when she does her self-assessment return).
There are no rules that prohibit the recycling of higher rate tax-relief as a new pension contribution, but there are rules which limit the recycling of tax-free lump sums in this way. However, as long as the tax-free lump sum taken in any 12-month period doesn't exceed £7,500, these rules don't apply. It's worth considering financial advice if you're unsure how these rules could affect you.
Jane has only taken and recycled a tax-free lump sum of £4,687.50 into her pension in July 2019 and has not taken any other tax-free lump sum in the previous or following 12-month period. She has therefore not contravened the rules which prohibit the recycling of large tax-free lump sums.

Statoil drilling another well after Verbier miss
Following a recent disappointment with the Verbier exploration well in the UK North Sea, Statoil has decided not to give up, and drill another well.
Namely Jersey Oil & Gas, Statoil's partner has informed that the wireline log data from the initial exploration well, received late on 12 September 2017, has now been evaluated by the P.2170 Joint Venture partnership led by the operator Statoil.
According to the company, indications of the potential for hydrocarbons to be present in a smaller accumulation up dip of the 20/05b-13 Verbier exploration well cannot be ruled out. Accordingly, over the weekend, agreement was reached by the P.2170 Joint Venture partners to target this resource with a sidetrack exploration well, JOG siad. All necessary approvals have been received and operations have now started.
Jersey Oil & Gas will pay its cost of the well of will be approximately £0.7m, using its existing cash reserves and forecast receipts.
Drilling of the 20/05b-13Z sidetrack exploration well is expected to take between 25 to 35 days and a further announcement will be made in due course as appropriate.
Andrew Benitz, CEO of Jersey Oil & Gas, commented: "Whilst we have been disappointed by the results of the original Verbier exploration well, JOG is pleased to support the operator's recommendation to undertake the drilling of this sidetrack exploration well. The joint venture partnership has now identified the potential for late Jurassic sands, similar to the water bearing sands encountered in the 20/05b-13 well, to be present within the hydrocarbon window up dip of the original well location, offering the possibility of a potentially lesser, but still commercially attractive, hydrocarbon accumulation."

An arts and entertainment district may soon be established in Auburn. But what should it do? How should it look? And whom should it include?
Auburn is one of five central New York municipalities slated for the districts; the others are Cortland, Oneida, Oswego and Syracuse. A $49,500 award from Regional Economic Development Council, announced in December, will support the districts' blueprinting by CNY Arts. The blueprint will then be presented to the state for consideration of further funding for the districts.
At this early stage in the districts' creation, The Citizen spoke to two key figures in Auburn's arts and entertainment scene about the concept and how they'd like to see it executed: Auburn Public Theater Artistic Director Angela Daddabbo and Schweinfurth Art Center Executive Director Donna Lamb.

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace glams up in a sexy lace bodysuit for her 39th birthday bash with pals in London
The former Big Brother star's birthday was over the Christmas and New Year period but she celebrated it with pals this month
AISLEYNE Horgan-Wallace showed off her fab figure in a lacy black bodysuit ahead of her 39th birthday bash.
The former Big Brother star's birthday fell over the Christmas and New Year period on December 28, but she opted to celebrate her day this month with a glam party.
Aisleyne - who is The Sun's Celebrity Big Brother columnist - flashed her impressive cleavage as she wore a low cut black lace one-piece as she had her hair and make-up done at home.
The star had her hair pinned up in curls as she got ready, enjoying the pampering session with her girls and a glass of fizz.
Having fun with the camera, Aisleyne showed off her peachy bum in one cheeky shot, before switching into her party outfit, a figure-hugging white mini dress.
Aisleyne made sure to have plenty cleavage on display, and the zip up front certainly teased onlookers once she reached her party.
The star was in high spirits as she enjoyed the night out with her closest pals at STK London.
Even though it was her belated birthday celebrations, the kind-hearted star treated her friends to the evening as a thank you for their support after she was recently assaulted on a night out.
Aisleyne exclusively revealed to The Sun Online how she had been left in "a lot of pain" after being repeatedly punched by an unknown man who was giving her a lift home after her taxi failed to pick her up.
Thankfully the star hasn't let the ordeal stop her from enjoying herself and her birthday celebrations went off without a hitch.
Aisleyne's night out comes after she slammed Rachel Johnson and Maggie Oliver following their eviction from Celebrity Big Brother on Friday night.
Speaking in her CBB column for The Sun, she said: "So Maggie and Rachel have gone.
Most Read in TV & Showbiz
"Now let me get this right, so this is the year of the woman, and the first three evictees have all been women. What does that say?
"I'm not sure, because Maggie absolutely never offended anyone, she did nothing wrong, and what she stands for in society makes her a winner in my eyes.
"Rachel – she might have said a few offensive things but she was not the worst person up for eviction.
"So why have the two women, who I consider the best women, been evicted? And it's year of the woman? Do we need to question out values? I'm confused."

Description: As the King of Iolcus, Jason had everything – a prosperous kingdom, the respect of his peers and a beautiful fiancé. But when she was assassinated on their wedding day, Jason vowed to take revenge on her killers – to do anything to restore her life and earn back the respect of his subjects. To accomplish this heroic feat, Jason must seek out the Golden Fleece and with the help of Greek mythology's greatest heroes, set sail on the most epic voyage of all.
An epic scale action-RPG, Rise of the Argonauts immerses gamers in a gladiatorial adventure set in wondrously imagined vision of ancient Greece. With deep exploration and epic quests, players live a life of brutal combat as they lead a team of iconic warriors — including Jason, Hercules and Atalanta– through a world ruled by mythological gods.
- Gamers spend more time playing and less time micro-managing inventory and resources through a streamlined HUD and inventory system. Players can earn unique powers and abilities, but avoid tedious record keeping by dedicating deeds to a god of choice. Characters become stronger with armor and weapons upgrades significant in scope, leaving enemies nearly helpless. Players must learn to appease the Gods and interact wisely with those they encounter, as decisions impact the story flow and available missions
- Players assemble the most effective team of Argonauts for each mission to put the best battle plan forward. Lethal combinations of weapons and powers granted by the Gods, combined with the battle-tested loyalty of the Argonauts, make Jason a devastating force in combat. Players can change weapons on the fly to outmaneuver and inflict lethally devastating attacks on opponents, decapitating them with swords or cutting them in half with shields
- Players battle deadly foes, fearsome opponents and legendary monsters while experiencing a living, breathing and vivid ancient world taking players far beyond the generic broken statues and ruins that so often define the myth. The thrill of battle and intensity of action is strengthened through Tyler Bates' (300 composer) epic musical score

I don't know what this coming years holds and I am learning to get comfortable with that.
I don't know if I will drink alcohol or not. I don't know if I will make peace with drinking or not drinking or not.
I don't know if I will finally say "Fuck it" to all the diets and food rules and truly mean it or if I will still be stuck on this crazy rollercoaster of restricting and judging and trying to find peace instead of actually finding it.
I don't know if I will find an agent or be published or land that writing residency.
What I do know is that I will keep showing up to all of those areas and all the nooks and crannies of my life.
I do know that I will let myself down, feel ashamed and guilty when I do and then I will find the compassion to pick myself back up and continue onward.
I do know that writing every day has become so intricately woven into who I am that I will continue to write under all circumstances—a lesson from Natalie Goldberg that I have finally absorbed deep into my bones.
I do know that showing up is non-negotiable.
Showing up to my relationships.
Showing up to my writing.
Showing up to my creativity.
Showing up to my body.
Showing up to my yoga practice, and teaching practice and students.
Showing up up my meditation practice.
Showing up to my Self.
I do know that not knowing and continuing on is part of this human experience.
So, I may not know what this 55th cycle around the sun has in store but I do know that I plan to dive deep into the juicy, messy, perfectly imperfect, beautifully rich and complicated heart of this life I am so grateful to be living.

This is a most difficult editorial to write. Blaine Keith is my best friend and yes I know his soul is alive. He is now in God's hands with nothing to confess. Even at age 93 he attended bible studies at his church every Saturday when he was well enough to travel. And thanks to that Christian group who were always there for him.
I could write a book about the many stories he told. You know that he learned to fly at age 10 and was licensed to fly at age 17. So he joined the Marines and was sent to Guadalcanal with the famous ACE, the legendary Joe Foss, fighting Japanese.
Blaine was assigned to protecting ground troops and shooting landing craft full of Jap troops.
He noticed that Foss, after he downed a Jap plane, would place a decal on the fuselage of his plane. So after successfully downing and sinking several landing craft he got some chalk and was placing symbols on his plane when Foss asked him what the hell he was doing. He explained whereas Foss only shot one at a time he killed scores in landing craft. Foss agreed and said that they would stop calling him "kid" and call him "killer" instead.
That did not set well with Blaine because it wouldn't set well for his grandfather to accept "Killer" to describe his grandson. Having been raised by his grandparents he adopted their Christian attitudes in all things.
While in Guadalcanal he earned bronze and silver stars. These sought after awards must be earned and the Silver Star was awarded for exceptional bravery. Blaine noticed a hidden Jap troop ship masked by trees. He came up with the idea of drawing their fire to allow a torpedo plane to sink it. The idea was approved and he drew their fire allowing another brave pilot to fire a torpedo and sink the ship. Blaine said since it was a joint operation he got the Silver Star award and the torpedo plane pilot got a Bronze Star award.
The Guadalcanal battle was difficult for health too. Since they were regularly bombed sleeping was often in foxholes which resulted in dysentery. Sometimes it was so disabling other sites with medical facilities were used.
His World War II activities were well covered in his Obituary.
But after graduating from the War College he was recalled to fight in the Korean Police action. It is interesting that retired General Snyder and he fought in Korea.
Blaine led a group of aviators near the Chosen Reservoir. The reservoir was frozen but they couldn't take off. Across the reservoir Chinese troops on horseback were beginning to cross the frozen reservoir when General Snyder flew at them and literally mowed them down. This action gave Blaine's men time to destroy their planes by pouring gasoline in the cockpits and lighting the fuel. This left them with the prospect of climbing a mountain to join Marine ground troops. The mountain was cold and slippery and Blaine still suffered with result of frostbite with no feeling in his feet. They arrived near the top and were challenged by Marines. Blaine spoke of begging to be allowed to the top and not shot. They were finally saved and sent to various hospitals to recover.
Blaine earned his Bronze Star by bombing a strategic bridge using a maneuver he had learned from his Uncle Easy. The bridge was surrounded with Korean troops making it impossible to get over the bridge. Blaine dropped low and released his bombs against supports causing its collapse. Although he won a Bronze Star for his strategy, he also earned a purple heart because a Korean infantryman shot him in the right leg through his fuselage when he was so low. The former wound still bothered him.
Blaine continued his heroics after his war hero status. He became a test pilot and accidentally became the first astronaut in space. That incident fell under Q security and had a 50 year limit on disclosure.
And his Tiger Team status for NASA was a huge promotion. Having conquered his military career, his test pilot career and now his NASA career he retired from the Marines and became the head of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company's Western Region.
In 1990 he had open heart surgery to replace a heart valve and was told he had six years to live. But the doctor apparently didn't know Marines.
Blaine moved to Carefree and built a house for his beloved wife, Martha.
He joined Kiwanis, already he was a busy Mason and helped countless people to become Masons. He quietly was used as a guest speaker at dozens of schools. Kids always wanted to hear about his war experiences but he guided them to his NASA experiences and taught them "space" talk. He never failed to hold the pot for Salvation Army.
Blaine lost his house when his wife died and he began life in six different homes. His health was tended to by Mayo. He became known as the tough old Marine but his brain never gave up. When he told stories he remembered dates, time, names, everything.
Once the Mayo doctors were discussing whether he could take the problems of surgery of his colon. He asked for the odds and was told 20 percent. He said those were good odds and suggested they proceed. When the doctors demurred he called them chickens. There after the Surgeons entered his room flapping their arms and saying cluck, cluck!
The doctors resected half his colon and Shari Jo and I went to visit him. There he was in his surgical gown with his butt sticking out while he programmed his CPAP machine only hours since his operation.
One tough Marine!

New diesel cars that emit almost ZERO NOx
It's a breath of fresh air, if you will, to report some positive news about diesel. ADAC, the German equivalent of the RAC, has uncovered just how clean new clean diesels can be.
The answer? They're all but NOx-free, with results indicating new Euro 6d diesels are, on average, over eight-times cleaner than the on-road standard, as recorded over a variety of tests.
ADAC has been stringently testing some modern diesels for emissions, using new test conditions and methodology, as well as real-world testing, to yield results that better represent what these cars are actually emitting. They're promising, with NOx and CO2 readings coming back well within mandated limits.
Putting diesel to the test
On top of the new testing procedures, ADAC added an extra level of difficulty. The cars tested, which included a BMW X2, Peugeot 308, Volvo XC60 and more, were loaded up with 200kg of weight, had the air-con put on full blast and were subjected to a highway cycle. Included in testing was a measurement of exhaust gases during average on-road driving. No cheating the system here…
Not that it would be necessary. As above, the new clean diesels flew through without a hitch. For reference, the regulatory high standard (on a test bench) we're looking for is below an average of 80mg/km. For road testing, it's 168 mg/km.
The latest cleaning technology, including selective catalytic reduction and on-demand urea injection, kept the cars comfortably within nitrogen oxide standards. The BMW and Peugeot, running the 20d diesel engine and 2.0 BlueHDi engine respectively, both Euro 6d standard, were particular star performers.
The Peugeot in the WLTC test, Real Drive Emission (RDE), ADAC Ecotest and Autobahn test, got a high recording of 45 mg/km. The BMW got a high of 84 mg/km during the Autobahn testing but massively excelled in the other tests, with a low of just 13 mg/km in the WLTC test.
Both the Peugeot and the BMW produce averages well under 80 over the course of a strong variety of tests, including on-road testing. The Volvo didn't have it quite so easily. The first three tests saw it perform adequately, but the Autobahn test saw a spike, at 239mg/km. The cause? Good old consumption of fuel – the Volvo used over a litre/100km more than the Peugeot and the X2 during the ADAC Ecotest.
Cold weather NOx testing – almost ZERO?
Cold weather is generally considered to worsen NOx emissions. Tests that included a BMW 520d touring, Citroen Berlingo BlueHDi and an Opel Astra 1.6 D yielded some incredible results.
All three scored under 10mg/km of NOx. The BMW and the Astra registered just one mg/km. The Citroen scored seven mg/km. The highest score out of seven cars tested, by 16mg/km, was the Volvo, with 56 mg/km.
So what's the overall result?
Overall, the average NOx recording for Euro 6d TEMP-standard diesel cars, over the course of a variety of tests including lab conditions, the real world and cold-weather, was 20mg/km. The real world standard is 168 mg/km. There you have it. An on-average standard that's 8.4-times lower than the real world standard.

Can dogs drink milk like the other dairy products that humans use? We will give you a short as well as the long answer in this article so that you don't get confused and take care of your loving pet.
It is a hot summer day, you are a ball of sweat, and you decide to dig an ice cream cone from the freezer in an attempt to cool yourself down. You savor the smooth, icy texture gliding down the length of your tongue.
A wet stream begins to dip down your hand, glistening as the creamy dessert starts to melt into a liquid before you can finish the cone. You look down at your best friend laying on his side, legs spread as wide as possible and mouth open wide. You have a choice to make, one that seems to benefit both of you.
In both an effort to avoid the sticky mess and give your companion a chance to cool him off, you lean down and offer up the last bite. After all, he was breathing heavily with that thick fur heating his body like a winter coat in the summer. A slobbery tongue glides across your fingertips and he happily accepts your offering. His nose softly nudges your arm in thanks and you feel the warmth of caring for your loved one overwhelms you. Does this scenario sound familiar?
When we picture animals and milk, we often think of babies getting necessary nutrients from their mother. Some may picture a cat lazily sauntering over to lick out of a milk bowl set out for her, as depicted by a plethora of cartoons in the past.
Many experts agree, however, that adult cats should never be given milk of any kind after their initial kitten year. Yet, many households have another pet capable, and very willing, to try the milky liquid, be it from a cow or a goat. This animal is dubbed man's best friend and has a slightly more forgiving diet than that of a carnivorous cat. It begs the question "can dogs drink milk?
What Kind of Milk Can Puppies Drink – The Science of Milk
There is a reason society thinks of babies when the words animal and milk are used simultaneously; milk is a mammals right of passage when coming into the world. It is our main source of nutrient, our sustenance, and means of survival for the first moments of our lives. The benefits for our bodies to drink milk are endless; more information comes to light with each new study of breast milk. Did you know a mother's milk changes based on the current needs of the child or children in question? Milk is such a complex structure that contains almost all nutrients the body requires.
It's an amazing natural resource produced and used by all mammals in a way that is very much like puzzle pieces fitting together. The miracle white liquid contains a nutrient called lactose, and our bodies digest this nutrient by producing an enzyme called lactase. Lactose is a natural sugar our bodies convert to energy. In other words, mothers manufacture the lactose and the babies produce lactase to help their bodies generate energy.
As babies, mammals produce an abundance of these enzymes making the digestion of milk extremely predictable and straight forward. Humans, cats, dogs, rabbits – any milk producing mother and child go through this cycle of life. That being said, can puppies drink the milk that we human drink, cow's milk or goat milk? The short answer to that is a cautionary yes. The long answer is a bit more complicated.
Lactose Intolerance in Dogs – Not Just a Human Condition
In a perfect world, we would all be born equal, with all our bodily functions working perfectly, but that isn't always the case. Disabilities, diseases, and disorders all are an all too familiar part of life. Sometimes puppies are born with little to no production of lactase. This is commonly referred to as Lactose Intolerance.
Many people suffer from this medical condition, as do our pets. In fact, as our animals grow older and wean off their mother's milk, many develop lactose intolerance as their bodies produce less and less lactase. Dogs are no exception to that, as unfortunate as it may seem. Adult dogs are known to have varying degrees of lactose intolerance, meaning some dogs can still drink milk with no issues while others have unpleasant symptoms after drinking very little. Some of these symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, excessive gas, abdominal pain, and dehydration. That doesn't sound like a great time for our lactose intolerant friends!
Milk for Dogs Good or Bad: What Happens if a Dog Drinks Milk?
Milk contains another not so secret ingredient we all heavily monitor fat. Just as we try to keep fat content within a healthy range for our own bodies, dogs need to have their diet maintained as well. Not only can too much fat cause diarrhea and vomiting, but it can cause a serious condition called pancreatitis. In this condition, the pancreas swells.
Due to a surplus of fat, digestive enzymes that are normally produced in the pancreas and sent to the small intestine to do their work essentially begin digesting the pancreas itself when they become trapped. Common symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite.
Due to a repetitive arching of the back, the dog can develop an abnormal posture, as well. This can lead to other problems down the road, such as arthritis and joint pain. There is no way to eliminate the chances of getting this condition all together; however, there are steps that can be taken to lower the chances of your loved one developing it. In the case of our magical milky liquid, choosing one of the lower-fat content milk, such as skim, may be a better solution than whole milk for your adult dog.
The Rare Canine Milk Allergy: Is It OK for Dogs to Drink Milk?
On rare occasions, dogs can have an allergy to milk. This varies from the digestive conditions above in the fact that it is an allergy-like any other. The symptoms are not exclusive to the digestive system. Some of the ways this can become apparent are if the dog begins itching excessively, develops red or dry skin, develops bald spots, and on rare occasion, begins to have seizures. There is no cure for an allergy, so just be sure to keep an eye on your pup and take extra care should an allergy rear its ugly head.
Hopeful Alternatives: What Can Puppies Drink?
There are many dogs that do not have any issues with milk or milk products and even for the dogs who are lactose intolerant, not all hope is lost. As we mentioned earlier, it is thought that lactose intolerant dogs find themselves on a scale. Some just produce slightly under the required amount of lactase to combat lactose and therefore are able to eat dairy in a moderate amount.
There are dogs that still produce some lactase, but it's very little. These dogs may have an occasional diary, but it needs to be kept to a minimum. Many milk products, such as cheese, yogurt, creams, and ice cream are lower in lactose than milk is. In fact, Cheddar cheese has less than 1% of the lactose that milk contains whole or skim. It might be in the owner of a lactose intolerant dog's best interest to give a piece of cheese as a healthy snack as opposed to, say, and a bowl of milk.
The Benefits of Milk for Dogs & Puppies
There are benefits to giving your dog milk that humans drink. In nature, animals typically do not drink milk past weaning years, but as we know for our own bodies, it is a great source of calcium. The first thing we think of when we observe the benefits of calcium is good, strong bones. While that in itself is a wonderful reason to give your dog milk, calcium helps other aspects of the body, as well.
The heart, nervous system, and muscular system all benefit from a good dose of calcium. Our bodies and our dog's bodies do not produce calcium on their own, so we have to look for other sources to sustain our nutrient needs. If you give your dog a natural diet as opposed to the dry food, finding enough calcium sources may be tricky.
Finally, I would say that this is a complicated question but you might have got an answer to the question "Can Dogs & Puppies Drink Milk That Humans Drink".

Survey: Yelp is #1 Choice for Finding Doctors, Lawyers & Home Service Providers
According to three independent studies conducted by Software Advice, a software insights resource for business owners, Yelp is the most popular choice for people who use review sites to find a doctor, attorney or home service provider.
Most people already think of Yelp when searching for their next great meal, but every kind of local business can be reviewed on Yelp, and it's great to hear that consumers are turning to us to inform their spending decisions on all kinds of purchases. Some highlights from the studies:
Yelp is ranked as the #1 most popular and most trusted website for attorney reviews
74% of people who used a review site to search for home service providers used Yelp
Yelp is used more often than Healthgrades, RateMDs, Vitals and ZocDoc to find a doctor

It will come as no surprise to anyone who's owned an XJ40 to hear that one of my heater blowers is only working on max speed, so I get no air at all at low and medium settings. Thanks to some research on http://www.jag-lovers.org, I've diagnosed it as a (probable) failure of the speed control resistor and have ordered the required parts from Maplin (my local shops didn't have them in stock).
The parts required are:
Darlington transistor 2N6284,
a 68 Ohm 2.5Watt resistor,
a 1N5401 diode
and a small glass diode, probably 1N4148 or 1N914
To play safe, I ordered both types of glass diode and bought two of each resistor and diode (they only cost a few pennies each).
Dismantling the heater showed the circuits to be in fairly poor shape, so I'll need to clean it all up, replace the components and thoroughly re-solder the whole lot. I'll take more pictures as I go.
After removing the under dash trim, unclip the relays from the side of the blower, along with the vacuum line to the recirc actuator and undo the two electrical multiconnectors to the right of the blower - this will give better access for removing the blower. If you follow the wiring from the blower itself, you will find two multiplugs - one round, one flat - which need to be unplugged.
You'll need a 10mm socket and long extensions to undo the two mounting bolts - which are tucked out of the way! You may also need to undo the 13mm nut that supports right hand steering column brace if you find space a bit tight when removing the blower unit.
Right hand side:
Left hand side:
The blower unit may be rotated clockwise and down. This will allow you to remove the unit and separate it from the flexible duct which connects it to the main heater unit (this duct isn't easy to connect - it may be better to remove it and reinstall it already attached to the blower).
The dodgy electronics live under this panel which is held on by 4 rivets - the picture shows the "after" shot, with self tapping screws replacing the rivets:
The speed control PCB can now be rotated out of the blower to be repaired - you don't need to split the blower unit:
If you do want to split the unit, there are two screws and half a dozen clips holding it together:
The Darlington transistor is held on by two bolts (with insulating washers) as well as being soldered to the PCB. At this point, I have to confess that as the new small diodes looked different from the originals, I chickened out when it came to replacing them - I just de-soldered them, cleaned the contacts and soldered them back! I did, though, replace the big diode and the Darlington resistor:
Reassembly is the reverse of the above - I chose to check the function before bolting it all back together.
Hope this helps.

are my choices correct?
If a function is positive the y-value is greater than 0; it's above the y-axis.
Can you retry? (one of the answer choices you said are right.)
You are very welcome!
For each one, we check to see if any part of the interval is below the x-axis. If so, we do not check that one. For (-2, 0), we can tell that the whole function is negative, not positive. (An example is (-1, -1.475), where the y-coordinate is negative.) For (0, 4), by inspection, there is no part of the graph below the x-axis. For (4, ∞), we see that something like (5, y) is already way under the x axis, so this is not a choice.
For (-∞, -2), we can see that all of it is above the x-axis. So, this is an option. For (2, 2.5), this includes the interval at the topmost part of the second curve. This is above the x-axis, so this is a choice. Finally, for (-1.5, -1), this is the bottommost part of the first curve, which is below the x-axis. So, this does not work.
So, our final answers are (0, 4), (-∞, -2), and (2, 2.5). (2nd, 4th, and 5th choices.)
