Why am I so tired all the time? I am asked that question multiple times EVERY DAY.
Our society is exhausted, and it's only getting worse.
Do you ever wake up refreshed, make it through the day easily, then still have energy in the evening for home activities and family time?
If you do, consider yourself fortunate. Most of us don't. Not by a long shot.
In this article, I will discuss the most common reasons why you may be tired and give you some pointers on how to regain some energy and quality of life.
Let's get started...
Have you been diagnosed with insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, or even diabetes?
Even if you haven't been diagnosed with insulin resistance, there is a good chance that you have it and don't even know it.
Insulin resistance is primarily a dietary disease - what you have been eating has played a major role in causing you to have this condition.
The good news is that by changing what you eat and how you live, you can make major strides in reversing this condition.
In this article I'm going to discuss a comprehensive approach on how to treat insulin resistance.
This will include a proper diet, activity level, supplements, medications, and much more...

Daily Observations 23rd June 2018. For Nouvive Free Clients.
The market in less than 24 hours dropped by 10 per cent – representing the second week in a row that a double digit drop has happened. BTC dropped from 6700$ to under $5900, before closing on the day to just above $6000. The mere fact it ended above $6000 was a feat for bulls.
Let's talk about the drop in BTC. What that means for Altcoins, our real money makers. Altcoins are ICO's, Airdrops and coins that aren't Bitcoin. With the market constantly dropping, the highly correlated Altcoins so too drop. This gives bitcoin a higher market dominance that is currently at above 40% – especially considering less than 1 month ago it was below 35%.
Moreover, Altcoins have retraced close to 80 per cent since the start of the year (January 17). There has been small Altcoin bullish seasons, but not the real juice. Nouvive has two recommendation when it comes to Buying Altcoins: invest in the swing trades and catch the dip for excellent long term hold coins. These are the coins that will stay around. The ones that heavily invest in the Blockchain – coins like EOS maybe excellent swing trades – but you have to call a spade, a space and understand it isn't excellent Blockchain technology and will one day be wiped out as a coin altogether.

Crypto-Assets profiled on this page are for informational purposes only and should not in any way come across as a recommendation to buy or sell. Nouvive does not in any way guarantee that this information is free from mistakes, errors or material misstatements. It does also not guarantee that this information is of a timely nature.

Humble Pie 1972 Smokin'
Genre: Rock
Rate: 192 kbps CBR / 44100
Time: 00:43:56
Size: 60,27 MB
Review by Matthew Greenwald
After a couple of years of relentless touring, Humble Pie capitalized on their loyal U.S. following to capture the market with this, their third album. Although lead guitarist Peter Frampton was replaced by Clem Clemson -- an excellent player -- the band remained essentially the same. Led by singer/guitarist Steve Marriott's soulful wail, the group enjoyed a huge hit from this record, "30 Days in the Hole" -- the track which defined the Pie's not-so-subtle appeal. The rest of the record is equally funky and intriguing. Stephen Stills guests on "Road Runner 'G' Jam," playing some nasty Hammond organ fills. In the end, though, the group defined themselves as the undisputed leaders of the boogie movement in the early 1970s, as a band.

Qingliu Xu, the project leader of the highlighted project Qingliu Xu's Wanda Realm Resort Lighting explains, The lighting design of Wanda Realm Resort would adopt the warm white light as main light distribution.Firstly, control the value of color temperature, around 3000k would be fine.

Secondly, control the lighting effect by adjusting the gray level to make visual perception plumper..

It's a funny thing the introduction of the Burrito has had on youth culture in America, and the world beyond. It has done what the Falafel wrap and shawarma have trailed off in attempting.
It is not like the Burrito is a new invention. Spanish colonialists had documented the Burrito in the 15th century as they marauded the Mexican people, as small, hand held foods distributed by vendors in the street.
The evolution continued, moving from Mexico, over the border, to neighboring villages and towns, finally making it's way to Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. Now, it is a worldwide phenomenon, an emblem of youthful indulgence and hedonism.
Think back to those late nights, where alcohol seems to outweigh the blood and matter in your body, and it is without the mind that the legs move you to where you need to be. Everything is in a haze, swirling around you as if on wheels, but the bright lights pull you in; or the solid van offers you a place to lean; whatever the lure, you had found what you were looking for: someone to sell you a burrito.
Trolling the Mission in San Francisco after the bars have closed, or simply sitting in the parking lot of any taqueria at half two in the morning, and you will surely see the place overrun with young, mostly drunk patrons; people who in most cases have arrived with some assistance from a friend, and will surely be hunched over a toilet in the next hour or so.
So, the question is, what's the problem? Burritos are tasty, cheap and filling. True, but the issue stems not from the food itself, but what the idea of the food does to young, bar hopping lush.
In looking through alcohol poisoning records, the earliest data I was capable of finding came from the mid-1990s, and all of it was centered around college students, or for the catch-all phrase, twentysomethings. What does that mean? In all honesty, nothing. As I mentioned earlier, Burritos had been on the market in some fashion for centuries, but, I feel there is a correlation between burritos and drinking yourself blind that is being overlooked.
It's the dependence on that bundled treat at the end of the night that prompts a few extra drinks. It's the idea that Burritos are saviors, the personal resurrection of your favorite god that prompts the idea that whatever you do to yourself there is that flavorful band-aid to repair all ills. This idea prevails in the young population, which has caused a spike in after hour violence, alcohol poisoning and transference of STI's.
Are Burrito's a crutch? An enabler? Or just an innocent bystander caught in the middle of youthful antics. All of the above, really. But, does that mean we should stop eating them? Of course not, it merely means we should think about how good they taste when we pour those drinks down our gullets, and how all of that loveliness is forfeited, not to mention to handful of dollars spent on it, when it finds its way into to the gutters in that vicious upheaval.

What can you get for under 6.8%?
What can you get for 6.8%? That would be the rate for a student loan as of July 1, 2013.
As of July 7, 2013 rates for other kinds of loans are:
30 year fixed rate mortgage 4.40%
15 year fixed rate mortgage 3.45%
30K FICO based home equity loan 5.19%
48 month new car loan 2.57%
In fact the only thing worse than the student loan rate is the average rate for credit cards, at 15.27%.
Now, here's some information from the Federal Reserve about what it costs for banks to use the "discount window:"
"Federal Reserve Banks have three main lending programs for depository institutions — primary credit, secondary credit and seasonal credit. Under the program enacted in 2003, Reserve Banks establish the primary credit rate at least every 14 days, subject to review and determination of the Board of Governors.
Primary Credit Rate: 0.75%Primary credit is available to generally sound depository institutions on a very short-term basis as a backup rather than a regular source of funding. Depository institutions are not required to seek alternative sources of funds before requesting advances of primary credit.
Secondary Credit Rate: 1.25%Secondary credit is extended on a very short-term basis to depository institutions not eligible for primary credit. It is available to meet backup liquidity needs when its use is consistent with a timely return to market sources of funding or the orderly resolution of a troubled institution."
Now, what bank wouldn't want to borrow at 0.75% to make student loans available at 6.8%?

** Good news and Bad news: Nevada's Governor is good at finding money for state programs — on the other hand the money is flowing in because our economy is lagging. [LVSun] Unfortunately, this comes with an ideological framework, which a person could suppose is meant to sound moderate: "We cannot cut our way out, we cannot tax our way out, we can only grow our way out." The phrasing sets up a false choice in which "C" is the sole useful option. It's commendable that the Governor acknowledges growth based solutions as the proper course for economic development; it's not so commendable to see that increasing taxation on economic elements in Nevada who have not been paying their way isn't part of the total package.
** The Nevada Legislature is looking at the issues related to severe mental illness and gun possession in two bills. SB 221, which cleared the Senate Health and Human Services Committee with a Do Pass as Amended recommendation, upgrades the background checks required by Nevada law to include private sales, and specifically prohibits a person who, in the estimation of a psychiatrist or a licensed psychologist is likely to be a danger to self or others from "possession, custody, or control" of a firearm. Once more with urgency: The only people who would be "inconvenienced" by background checks under Nevada law are (1) felons (2) fugitives (3) minor children (4) domestic abusers, and (5) undocumented aliens. Surely, it's not too much to ask that those seeking to transfer "possession, custody, or control" of a firearm would want the recipient to pass a quick background check before selling a weapon to anyone in those categories?
** Those who managed to find a bit of time to keep up with economic news during the Week from Hell, have benefited from "Pete Peterson's Fingerprints…" at Crooks and Liars. The Austerians are, indeed, losing the narrative in the national economic debate, and this short article explains who is still promoting illogical austerity pontification which passes for economic theorizing in Dante's Fourth Circle of Hell. For those inclined to get into the mathematical weeds of the R&R mess, Angry Bear has a handy post. A more general critique is available from the EPI. As for the prospective denizens of the Fourth Circle, see Naked Capitalism's post in which Robert Johnson opines of the oligarchs, "they are all standing on the deck of the Titanic looking in each other's eyes."
** Republicans behaving badly: Second Amendment Solutions? One GOP lawmaker in Arkansas would like to activate them in terms of the expansion of Medicaid under the terms of the Affordable Care Act. [Think Progress] Ohio legislators would like to prohibit instruction in health education classes about "gateway sexual activity." [TP] As if the kids haven't just about figured out the "gateways" already? Texas state legislators dislike the meddling old EPA — and they have a blasted out neighborhood in West, Texas to prove it. [Politicususa] In the mean time, would someone explain to me how any Planning and Zoning Commission could possibly approve plans to build residential developments next to a fertilizer plant — or a fertilizer plant near a residential neighborhood? Much less in proximity to a junior high, a high school, and a nursing home?!

Wants, Needs, and Pink Assault Rifles
One of the most basic lessons in economic education is the differentiation between Wants and Needs. It usually shows up somewhere in the K-3 part of the curriculum. The most basic expression comes as: "Needs are something you must have for survival. For example, food and water. Without food, you would not be able to live. Wants are something that you would like to have, but it is not necessary, and you could do without it. " We have to be careful with this one in a consumer based economy because honestly there are lots of things we don't need…as in most of the stuff being marketed to us.
However, for all the palaver expended on marketing, the fundamental concepts are simple: (1) Target the "right" market, identifying potential customers; (2) Provide "bait," which can range from something like offering a Two For One sale or as complex as the psychologically based, focus group tested, campaign to sell luxury cars; (3) Utilizing appropriate media to get the message out. For all the variations, the message is always the same — I'm selling something and I want you to buy it.
So, what can we learn about gun owners — or potential customers for more guns — from the statistics at hand?
If I were selling guns, I'd notice that 42% of Americans own at least one firearm, and of that 42% about 48% are male, and 57% of those males are Republicans. Were I looking to expand my sales, I'd pay attention to the fact that only approximately 37% of women are firearm owners.
I'd notice that 55% of white Republicans are gun owners, and in the midwest and south Republicans comprise 62% and 56% respectively of firearm owners. In terms of population density, it's relevant to observe that 60% of rural Americans own guns, 42% of suburbanites are owners, and urban gun owners make up 30% of the total. Age is often a marketing guide, so we'd want to note that individuals aged 18-29 have a 34% gun ownership rate, those aged 30-44 have a 42% rate, those people aged 45-65 have a 45% rate, and those over 65 have a 44% rate of gun ownership. If we're looking at trends by political affiliation the chart would look like the following:
From a marketing perspective, there is more of a potential market among women, independents, and Democrats — but there are also those declivitous slopes in their purchasing patterns. This lends credence to the conclusion that "The household gun ownership rate has fallen from an average of 50 percent in the 1970s to 49 percent in the 1980s, 43 percent in the 1990s and 35 percent in the 2000s, according to the survey data, analyzed by The New York Times." [NYT] In turn, we come to another conclusion — there are more guns in fewer households.
Repeating an oft cited economic rule of life — If your business has an increasing share in a declining market You Are In Trouble.
One factor in the declining overall market is urbanization — those who might have owned firearms for hunting, predatory problems, and personal safety in rural areas find less compelling reasons for gun ownership in urban areas. Hunting sports are trending downward as well, "only a quarter of men in 2012 said they hunted, compared with about 40 percent when the question was asked in 1977." [NYT] The aging of America may have some relationship to this as well; hunting is hard physical labor, and those over 70 may not find the activity as enjoyable as it was on 35 year old legs.
Thus, gun manufacturers are faced with some serious marketing issues. Ownership trends in statistical terms, (not in anecdotal references to people who sign up for safety classes, or who make purchases of new models), are down. Urbanization is increasing. Women, less likely to buy a weapon, are 50.8% of the population. Hispanic Americans, also less likely gun owners, are 16.7% of the population and increasing. [Census] How can gun manufacturers profit, if they can't buck the trends in which (1) a gun is less likely to be considered a "need" and more likely in expanding urban/suburban settings as a "want?" Or, if the population trends are such that those elements (women, Hispanic Americans) who are less likely to own guns are increasing in the overall count? In marketing, not shooting sport terms, — where are the targets?
Here's one marketing ploy:
"A pink AR-15 will rock their world. I don't care if they are welcomed on unwelcome visitor, everyone will respect your choice in weaponry. House guests love the look of your pink pink AR-15, and the bad guys will either bleed or run like hell. Wolverine Tactical Firearms utilize a Duracoat finish for their pink AR-15, and the ceramic coating is both durable and attractive. Yes we do purple as well." [BTD.com]
The seller goes on to assure the potential buyer than a rifleman doesn't have to explain why he or she would own a pink or purple AR-15 — the 2nd Amendment covers all that…. This assumes that one's house guests are also shooting enthusiasts who won't ask WHY you have a pink assault rifle. So, how many middle-western or southern white males aged 34-65 are going to drive to the gun shop for a pink AR-15? Or how many of their wives are likely to think this would be the sweetest Valentine's Day present ever? The marketing answer to these questions may very well be Not Enough to make these products (1) answer a felt "want" in an expanding market, (2) create enough demand to justify the expenditure of complex marketing research and subsequent campaigns, and (3) get a return on advertising investments anywhere near the tipping point.
If we're looking for a reason why the National Rifle (Manufacturers) Association is putting up a frontal assault of its own against any and all gun safety and violence abatement legislation — we might well consider the marketing problems they are facing in this country. Certainly, in light of the pink AR-15, they are.

Sequestration Frustration and the White Queen's Economics
The House Republicans continue to manufacture mountains of problems out of mole-hills of economic issues, and they can't be completely oblivious to the ramifications of their ideologically driven proposals for Nevada. Here's a hint:
"In fact, Nellis Air Force base has no new information about how the sequester changes might affect their operations, and is making no different plans to react to sequestration than they were a month ago, according to spokeswoman Jessica Turner. Civilian furloughs begin at the end of April, and from there on, will be equivalent to about a 20 percent pay cut through September." [LVSun]
That's five months with 20% pay cuts for civilian workers at Nellis AFB. Although the article doesn't give the average pay for a civilian worker at Nellis, we might reasonably assume that it's comparable to other AFBs around the nation, in which case the average annual pay is about $50,000. [Portales] It's also public knowledge since November 2011 that there have already been cuts to civilian employment at Nellis and other installations in Nevada:
"Combined, the Southern Nevada bases and range installations account for 10,393 military and 4,366 civilian employees with a payroll of nearly $1.2 billion. In 2010, there were about 6,416 indirect jobs created with an annual dollar value of $257 million. "We've had a civilian hiring freeze for some time. Of those 155 being considered, some or all might be cut," Lustig said Thursday." [LVRJ]
If all the positions were cut back in 2011-2012, then we could estimate there are about 4,211 civilian jobs associated with military installations in southern Nevada. 4,211 employees multiplied by the average salary or wages of $50,000 comes out to $210,550,000 annually. If we shave 20% of the total then we'd calculate a loss of $42,110,000 to the regional economy of southern Nevada. It's at this point where the square peg of ideological purity meets the round hole of economic reality.
The White Queen's Economics
"Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Alice in Wonderland.
Impossible Thing One: "Spending is the Problem." We have the Sequester because it is taken as an article of faith in Republican quarters that federal government spending is "out of control." Much was made of the fact that the U.S. was borrowing 36¢ on the dollar back in late 2011 , but there wasn't much said about the fact that this rate had been DECREASING. For fiscal 2009 the rate had been 40¢ and 37¢ in FY2010. [FactCheck] This brings us to the report from the BEA in February 2013:
"The increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE), nonresidential fixed investment, and residential fixed investment that were partly offset by negative contributions from private inventory investment, federal government spending, exports, and state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased." (emphasis added)
If the amount borrowed per dollar of revenue is declining, and if the sluggish rate of growth indicated by the 4Q GDP report is partially explained by a reduction in federal spending — then how on earth can a sentient person maintain the fantasy that "spending is out of control?"
Impossible Thing Two: "Every dollar borrowed by government is a dollar that is not being invested in our private sector economy." This is an articulation of the Crowd Out Theory — this makes some sense IF and ONLY IF interest rates are HIGH. Even then it's a bit sketchy because some government revenues are invested in research, development, business subsidies, commercial ventures, and the like. Dare we venture into the real world and look at corporate borrowing costs? If the Crowd Out Theory is correct, and government borrowing is making corporate borrowing more expensive, then what do we make of the following chart?
Moody's forecast shows top quality corporate bonds paying about 4.01% interest through August 2013. As of July, 2000 corporations were paying 7.67% interest. [FRB H15] Thus much for government borrowing crowding out corporate borrowing.
Impossible Thing Three: "Government can't create jobs." When pressed about the relationship between teachers, firefighters, police officers, social workers, and "government" the answer from right wing ideologues is often punctuated by stammers — or pontifications about how public employees are Piggies At the Public Trough. A decision must be made at this juncture: Does government not create jobs, or is it that government creates too many "good" jobs?
Caution must be taken with charts purporting to "prove" government employees are making "too much money" in comparison to the private sector, especially when educational and expertise requirements are taken into consideration. Additionally, even the AEI is moved to report that workers moving from public to private sector employment are more likely to take a cut in pay. However, this isn't the core of the issue.
Government does create jobs, and in the private sector. "But, but, but," stammers our hypothetical ideologue, "Those aren't REAL jobs. Permanent Jobs." Ask any construction contractor and the individual will tell you the obvious: No construction job is permanent. When the highway is finished the job runs out and it's time to bid for another contract. Since we have a lovely backlog of clean water, sewage treatment, bridge building, and transportation related projects we're fobbing off on our descendants, wouldn't it be a nice "job creating" thing if we paid some of this bill ourselves and at least made a head start on the payments?
Impossible Thing Four: "The national debt will turn us into an unstable place like Greece." (Or Spain, or Italy, or Ireland, or Cyprus). Nonsense. For one thing we have our own national currency, [Creamer] and secondly, the economic policy process in the Eurozone should remind us all that the authors of the Federalist Papers were absolutely right in arguing we needed a unified national structure (our Constitution) in order to put ourselves on a sound fiscal basis. If a person might wonder about what happens when a loose confederation attempts to behave like a sovereign nation, it's advisable to look at Hamilton's response in Federalist 15. He was even more blunt in Number 17, "Commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers necessary to those objects ought, in the first instance, to be lodged in the national depository."
Another factor too often overlooked during periods of hyperbolic hysteria is that the U.S. has something else the Eurozone does not — a federal monetary policy compliments of the Federal Reserve System which can monetize the federal debt, and a process by which we prevent "runs."
Impossible Thing Five: "Our national debt is a serious and immediate problem! Just look at all those digits on the debt clock." Calm. Down. The debt isn't an immediate problem (even some members of the House GOP are beginning to back off this canard) what we need to be doing — in a rational universe — is to stabilize the national debt. Here's what our debt looks like compared to our Gross National Product:
In the wake of the Great Recession and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we're now looking at a 67.7 ratio; [Atlantic] but then Germany's public debt is at 80.6, Canada's is at 87.4, Italy's is 120.1. [Atlantic] The average in the Eurozone is about 82.5. The trick isn't to "pay off the national debt" because who would want their long term Treasury notes paid off before collecting all the interest? The U.S., as noted previously, doesn't have creditors — it has Investors, and as of right now the 30 year U.S. note is paying a rather measly 3.15% interest rate. The ten year notes are only paying 1.95%, and the 20 year notes will earn an investor 2.77%. [TreasuryYieldCurve] If we aren't obliged to pay higher interest rates to people who are investing in our national notes, then why should anyone believe that The Debt is a terrifying thing?
Impossible Thing Six: "Federal Spending hurts our economy." Now, we're back to Nellis AFB in southern Nevada, or to northern Virginia — home to thousands of federal employees, or to Youngstown, Ohio with its TechBelt Initiative. What happens in places like Las Vegas and surrounds when $42 million is removed from the local economy in a year? As repeated ad nauseam herein, "government spending" doesn't fall into a black hole. Salaries and wages are spent in the local economy, for everything from apples to zoology textbooks. Those unsure of the importance of federal spending in local economies have only to look at the various renditions of grief on display when the Department of Defense seeks to close a base. Once more, with great feeling — the formula for both aggregate demand and for the calculation of the GDP assumes government spending at national, state, and local levels. GDP= C+I+G (for government) + (X-M).
What is truly alarming is the capacity of members of Congress to believe all six of these impossible things before breakfast.

Vacancy and Vacant Visions
At some point Chickens Do Come Home To Roost. Republican obstructionism in the United States Senate is now having an impact on federal cases in Nevada.
"One judge down. Just 69 more vacancies — including three in Nevada — to go For the past few years, political and procedural standoffs have stymied President Barack Obama's attempts to get dozens of his nominees' bids approved in the Senate, leaving dozens of gaping holes on benches across the country. But in few states has the situation reached such a fever pitch as it has in Nevada, where three of the state's seven seats on the federal bench have become vacant in the past year. Seasoned lawyers say it's the most troubling federal court crisis they've seen in Nevada in decades. And, they warn, it's a crisis with real consequences." [full story Las Vegas Sun]
As the article makes clear, criminal cases take precedence in scheduling because of the "speedy and public trial" provisions of the 6th Amendment. The implications are obvious. Civil cases will pile up in the backlog as three judges take on a workload intended for seven. Have an issue involving water rights in a federal court? — wait your turn. Have an issue with contract enforcement or terms in a federal court? — wait your turn. Have an issue with the application or interpretation of federal guidelines in almost any subject? — wait your turn. And, wait and wait and wait. "On Sept. 30, 2007, there were 3,685 cases pending before U.S. District Court in Nevada. On Sept. 30, 2012, there were 4,364." This in a state which has grown by nearly 50% since the 2000 Census.
Worse still, we aren't alone. Here's the compilation of vacancies as posted by the U.S. court system:
There are 18 vacancies at the Appellate Court level, and half remain "pending." Of the 69 vacancies at the District Court level 24 are pending. The two vacancies in the U.S. Court of International Trade are both "pending." So, what constitutes an "emergency situation?" The definition is as follows:
"Any vacancy where weighted filings are in excess of 600 per judgeship; or
Any vacancy in existence for more than 18 months where weighted filings are between 430 and 600 per judgeship; or
Any court with more than one authorized judgeship and only one active judge." [Judicial Nominations]
Nevada hits two out of the three elements, and at the rate we're going item 3 isn't out of the realm of possibility.
It's time to remember that Justice Delayed is Justice Denied.
A bit of blatant blog flogging: The Fix is seeking nominations for state based political blogs to add to its annual list. Your nomination for Desert Beacon would definitely be appreciated. Link Here.

Well here we go 6 weeks into what should really have been a pretty easy painting challenge, the guys are doing really well except one, but he shall remain nameless unless he doesnt get any work done this weekend but as he is running a Guild Ball tournament its highly likely he will be the first member of staff to be shamed, even though he has got enough excuses for the past 4 weeks we arent going to let him off lightly.
As you know I was already finished two weeks ago. I'm really pleased with the Gremlins (you can see them above) and think they're fantastically characterful figures. I might even get some more at some point… In the meantime I've been busy so check Sunday Colour for 1000 points of Concord amongst other projects!
I have also finished and feel quite smug about it too. Really looking forward to the game now and giving the little guys a run out. I'll post pics of them when we do some finial pics.
Well Guild Ball tournament went really well at the weekend and I have managed to get a bit off painting done, only problem is I painted over the undead flesh with a nice healthy skin colour, that will teach me to look where I am dipping my brushes.
As you can see they aren't quite there yet. I need to finish off the weapons and then small details like cuffs belts and such.
For someone of modest mediocre painting skills I am happy with how they are looking but I doubt I will win many prizes with them.
It would seem due to technical issues my entry was missed off the Part 2 update. never mind I work in IT and i know how these things can happen. Just means this update for me is so much bigger 🙂
I can safely admit when I started on this journey I was a tad worried about finishing it in time. I'm really bad when it comes to painting and i'm easily distracted by something. So I knew I was going to struggle, the fact that I've managed to finish and do more than planned has been a shock to me.
So here's some WIP shots of the crossbowmen and Halberdiers. Have to really say I love the mini's as there is so much character to them, they have lots of little things going on like the guy smoking, one with a bandage over his eye as well. My rustic style of painting also means that they fitted well and look like they'e been dragged through the fields of battle for a while.
So here they are all sorted. It just mean't I had to do my Captain and the starter set was all done.
Painting the Captain was easy I just used pretty much the same method I had for the others. Though I did change the colour used for the Jacket just so that it looked a bit brighter.
Really at this point I could of stopped but as I was enjoying myself I thought why not capitalise on it and just do a couple more. Adding to the list was an easy choice, last year Movemeber Mage was a must and I'd decided to paint him very much like Rincewind from Terry Pratchetts Disc World series. I also thought the Knight would look nice as he didn't need to stick to the same red uniform the others had.
Love the Mage, he has so much character about him and really looks like he hasn't got a clue whats going on.
So all in all my force is sort of done. I still have a fair few minis that I've bought that need doing and actually have some motivation to keep going doing them as well. A very odd feeling.
I made up a terrain block with an old piece of Zuzzy mat to show them off as well.

We speak to the makers of a new documentary about what made the late X-Ray Spex frontwoman such a one-off talent
It's often said that only 30,000 people bought the Velvet Underground's debut album, but every one of them ended up starting a band. With all due respect to the late Lou Reed and his band of Factory noiseniks, they were slacking: X-Ray Spex must have pulled off the same trick before they'd even played a note of theirs.
"Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard but I think – OH BONDAGE, UP YOURS! ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR!" go the immortal opening lines of "Oh Bondage Up Yours!", Poly Styrene's voice flaring from a babyish coo to a blazing banshee wail as she crashes into the first track of X-Ray Spex's 1978 debut album, Germfree Adolescents. It's a call to arms as incendiary as any in punk's rabble-rousing canon, and one that's been heard, over the years, by artists as diverse as Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna, FKA twigs, Morrissey, Boy George and Johnny Rotten (who was reportedly "freaked out" by Styrene's intensity).
Styrene, real name Marianne Joan Elliott-Said, is an undersung icon of punk whose signature braces, soldier's hat and DayGlo attire shunned convention just as X-Ray Spex's music – piercingly bright, anti-consumerist pop lashed with gleeful bursts of atonal sax – defied punk's more downwardly mobile tendencies. Now, six years after her death from cancer at the age of 53, Styrene may finally be getting her due thanks to a new film directed by Paul Sng and written by journalist Zoë Howe with Styrene's daughter, Celeste Bell. Titled I Am a Cliché, the documentary will draw on the musician's unpublished memoirs to present an imagined conversation between Bell and her mum, weaving in unseen images and performances from a treasure-trove archive of her work donated by the widow of Styrene's former manager, Falcon Stuart.
All in all, it promises an unorthodox portrait of an unorthodox life, and a timely reappraisal of one of the best and strangest pop stars ever produced by the UK. Head here to pledge your support to the film, which is currently seeking donations on Indiegogo, and read on for Sng, Howe and Bell's take on just what it was that made Poly so special.
Zoë Howe: Poly's lyrics are so satirical and funny and odd. She was looking at things like consumerism and the way things were becoming quite plastic and artificial (in the 70s). It was like she was painting this futuristic, post-apocalyptic world with her lyrics, and I just thought she was completely unusual.
Paul Sng: A lot of Germfree Adolescents talks about how consumerist society was becoming not only prevalent but dominating people's lives, and I think when you look at the present day, particularly in cities, you see the effects of gentrification and what's happening with social cleansing of working-class communities. Looking at her lyrics now it's almost like she did predict a lot about the way society was heading, whether she meant to or not. She was very prescient in how she saw consumerism would affect society. That's why communities in cities are being swallowed up, it's down to this society we have that just wants to consume, whether that's products or the accumulation of property, this dream that we've all been sold that you have to own a house. But (Poly's work is) more social commentary, and I think that's why it works well, because it doesn't ram it down your throat, it's just pointing things out, you know?
Zoë Howe: Poly almost wanted to come over as asexual, I think; she saw herself as human above seeing herself as a girl. She actually said if anyone tried to turn her into a sex symbol she would shave her head (a promise she would later fulfil at Johnny Rotten's flat prior to a show at Victoria Park).
Paul Sng: Kathleen Hanna wrote a really nice tribute when Poly died where she said how brilliant (Poly) was and how influenced (she was) by her. Other people have come forward like FKA twigs and Beth Ditto, then (you've got) male feminists like Henry Rollins. Feminism is obviously a complex issue but if you boil it down to its essential message it's that men and women are equal, and there are things you can do as a woman and also as a man to try and make that more of a reality. With her music and what she stood for, Poly made great progress for feminists in that respect.
Celeste Bell: My mum was a single parent and my mum's mum was a single parent (Poly's dad, a dispossessed Somali aristocrat, was absent during her childhood in Brixton), so we were both raised with strong female figures in our lives. And she never questioned her abilities as a person, she never thought that being a woman should stop her doing anything she wanted to do, and I was raised just the same, even though the Hare Krishna movement was horribly sexist and all sorts of stuff like that. Whenever I thought about something I wanted to do in life, it never crossed my mind that I might not be able to do it because I'm a girl. And I got that from my mum, because that's the way she lived her life.
Celeste Bell: Mother-daughter relationships aren't always the easiest, (and ours) wasn't perfect. My mum had bipolar disorder and she was in and out of hospital for most of my life. That obviously put strain on the relationship. She also joined the Hare Krishna movement when I was a small child, and I was raised in that for the first eight years of my life (Bell lived with her mum in Hare Krishna communes in Hertfordshire and London). Then I went to live with my grandmother and left the Hare Krishna thing behind, which was also a source of disharmony in our relationship. So I wouldn't want to sugarcoat that, because that's the truth of it. But apart from that, we were very, very close. My mum loved me very much and she did her best. She was misdiagnosed as having schizophrenia when she was very young, when she was touring Germfree Adolescents, and the medication they gave her wasn't right. I think that traumatic experience meant she didn't have a great relationship with hospitals or medicine. So it took her a long time – and I think this is the case with many people who suffer from any kind of mental illness – to come to terms with that, and once she did, she was able to manage her illness. The more she was able to do that, the better relationship we had, and the more she was able to work again and make music.
Paul Sng: A lot of the punks that came after the Pistols basically copied them – three chords and a guitar, the hairstyles and the jackets – it all went a bit to rot, I think. But when I got into (punk) as a teenager I was struck by how different Poly looked.
Celeste Bell: My mum was really inspired by fashion, she put a lot of thought went into the clothes that she wore. She was going to second-hand clothes shops in the 70s and buying clothes that grandmas would wear. And she came up with this really cool look which was essentially granny chic, which no one would have thought to do at the time. Her aesthetic was really different to the other punk artists – she steered away from leather, dark colours, any kind of aggressive or hypersexualised S&M stuff. It was all bright clothes, synthetic materials.
Celeste Bell: My mum wrote this diary about the 70s which she wanted to get published before she got ill. There's an entry for a song called 'Warrior in Woolworths' where she talks about working in the typing pool for Woolworths in their offices, there was only one other non-white girl in the office so my mum starts by saying how they sat her next to the other mixed race girl. It's just these little anecdotes that my mum would do giving the background to the song, moments that inspired her to write the songs.
Paul Sng: There were lots of women involved in punk. But I was drawn to Poly because she was mixed race like me, she was working class like me, and that just resonated. She just seemed like an anomaly. I like how (her work) was quite tongue-in-cheek – even the name she chose was very playful – but the more I began to do research on her, (the more I realised) she was clearly a very troubled person. I've always been drawn to people who faced adversity, and how they dealt with it. Poly really did challenge the status quo, which we've seen doing this crowdfunding campaign – a lot of people have been in touch saying how much she inspired them. She clearly inspired people to not only accept that they were different but celebrate diversity, and that's really important.

If one reads what VADM Winter says, that sounds like what they're doing.
However, just so you don't live a life of disappointment, aircraft (take your pick) are rarely "built to full product specification."

'An evening with Craig Brown and Joe Harper' has been organised by Aberdeen Football Club's catering and events partner, Sodexo to raise money in aid of Aberdeen FC Community Trust, the official charity partner of the club. On the evening, guests will have the opportunity to ask the duo questions during an informal chat hosted by the charity's trustee, Steve Innes.
From 1993 to 2001, Brown was the manager of the Scottish national side. During this time, he was at the helm for 70 international matches, more than any other Scotland manager, and led the team to the Euros in '96 and the World Cup in '98. Following stints at Preston North End and Motherwell, Brown took charge at Aberdeen in December 2010, where he remained until his retirement at the end of the 2012-13 season. Harper had two spells at Aberdeen, the first from 1969 to 1972 during which he helped the Dons lift the Scottish Cup. He returned in 1976 for a further four years and remains the club's all-time top goal scorer.
Guests will be greeted with an arrival drink and invited to dine in the ASI Suite, with a two-course meal using locally sourced produce and created by Sodexo's chefs especially for the event.
Attendees will tuck into a main of slow cooked Scottish blade steak served with a rich red wine sauce, fondant potatoes and root vegetables followed by sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce.
In addition to the duo answering guests questions, after dinner there will be a live auction and raffle with an array of prizes up for grabs.
Stephanie Hoare, Sales Manager at Aberdeen Football Club, said: "We are thrilled to be hosting 'An evening with Craig Brown and Joe Harper' at Pittodrie. Our chefs have been working hard to create the menu for the event and we all look forward to welcoming guests on the evening to raise money for this worthwhile cause."
Tickets for 'An evening with Craig Brown and Joe Harper' can be purchased for £35 per person.

Hello from Oslo! In case you didn't know, Matt and I got here yesterday morning. I haven't taken any pictures yet and we haven't done anything exciting except run all over town to buy a few things that we needed. So to keep you entertained in the meantime, I present: the first garden snapshot!
I thought it would be interesting to take some photos every month this year to show you what's blooming/growing and how the garden transforms from spring to fall. On Tuesday I got all the rest of my spring things in the ground (barely!) before we left for our trip. It wasn't the nicest sunny day to take pictures, but here they are anyway.
Here's the whole garden, or as much as I could get in. Those big white barrels contain the potato plants. And if you look closely you can see the trellis I put over the gate for the peas (just follow the stepping stones).
Broccoli and broccolini transplants
My new patio peach tree! It's covered in tiny peaches right now; we'll see if they last.
trying out peanuts for the first time
The giant trellis! This is for the watermelons, cantaloupe, squash, and pumpkins.
If all goes well, it should be a tunnel of vines by the end of summer.

The Trump administration is considering a new proposal that helps reduce the U.S. footprint in Syria, which would use the militaries of Arab allies to fill the void left by the departure of American troops.
U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal Monday evening that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt have been asked to contribute to the effort to bring stability to Syria. The administration is asking for both financial and military support for the endeavor, according to the report.
As Islamic State forces continues to lose ground in the fight against U.S. and coalition partners, worries have emerged that this effort has had the negative effect of empowering Iranian regional hegemony.
The Trump administration is hoping that Arab partners can potentially serve as that long-term bulwark against Iran's caliphate ambitions, while continuing to pry Russia away from Iran and the Syrian regime's sphere of influence.
The plan closely resembles a strategy white paper published by the Security Studies Group (SSG), a defense think tank based in Washington, D.C.
Jim Hanson, the president of the Security Studies Group, tells Conservative Review that the National Security Council asked his policy shop to write a detailed plan for action, taking into account President Trump's goal of shrinking the U.S. footprint in Syria, while ensuring that U.S. regional interests are protected.
"We agree with President Trump and national security advisor Bolton that support from regional allies is vital for a smart exit from Syria. We cannot leave a vacuum that could be used by Iran to cement their land bridge to the Mediterranean," Hanson, who served in the U.S. Army Special Forces, tells CR.
.@realDonaldTrump & @AmbJohnBolton are working a #Syria plan that tracks very tightly w/ one we gave them
It's a shift to security from our regional allies that lowers US levels, but also limits #Iran's expansionhttps://t.co/P8nNN94rMT
— Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) April 17, 2018
"The danger that Iran will otherwise end up with de facto control of the Sunni areas and safe transit across Syria is extremely high. A third major Sunni insurgency is also likely if Iran or its proxies control these areas," an executive summary of the plan reads. "To avoid these consequences, troops from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) with command and control and air support from the U.S. and other allies should institute a protectorate in the Sunni regions."
A key element of the plan involves decentralizing responsibility to particular blocs in Syria. While the GCC countries will handle the Sunni areas, Turkish forces can be held responsible for territory west of the Euphrates, while a protection zone for Kurdish allies will remain east of the Euphrates.
The plan has been met with mixed reviews from members of the D.C. foreign policy class. Longtime foreign policy analyst Elliot Abrams told Axios that he doubts the president would be able to summon Arab armies to fill the potential U.S. vacuum.
The airforces of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Jordan, are equipped and trained by the USA, France and the UK. They can handle the Iranian and Syrian airforces. The Arab Coalition air assets are capable of air superiority in Syria. @POTUS and NSA @AmbJohnBolton should move forward pic.twitter.com/SB1adjAJ0U
— Walid Phares (@WalidPhares) April 17, 2018
It is a fine idea to seek Arab funding for Syria so America doesn't have to pay. It's a delusion to think their forces can replace ours. Complement, yes. Replace, not a chance. https://t.co/nO2HM5LVyX
— Mark Dubowitz (@mdubowitz) April 17, 2018
No Arab state would send troops to Eastern Syria, if the U.S. military is not deployed there with effective air cover. UAE & KSA offered $200 million a year to cover the salaries of America's local allies. U.S. Seeks Arab Force and Funding for Syria. https://t.co/2MYTZeii3S
— Hisham Melhem (@hisham_melhem) April 17, 2018
The president will undoubtedly face a stern challenge in convincing Arab allies to devote serious resources toward stabilizing Syria, but it's a shot worth taking. During president Trump's short tenure thus far, the White House already demonstrated that it has been able to move the Arab world toward dramatic reform and prioritizing counter-terrorism. Will President Trump succeed in rallying the Arab world around the cause of countering the Iranian regime's malignant expansion in Syria?

Written by an anti-racism activist who is white, White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son is a barely controlled rant against unconscious racism and especially the unconscious privilege of white people in America. He does a splendid job of showing that today's white folks, who never owned a slave, still benefit from the system of slavery both because of the wealth their families accumulated as a result but also, and this goes for everyone, even recent immigrants, because of the higher status that whites have enjoyed and still enjoy. Well done. Alas, he gets carried away, as when he presents his demented grandmother's tirades as proof of racism. Sadly senile dementia may provoke all kinds of tirades that don't prove much beyond the existence of dementia, right? And at some point he seems to suggest that non-whites don't have time to look at serious issues as an intellectual exercise, which I thought was insulting. (Replace non-whites with "women" and I think you will agree with me.)

Why do my GE washer and dryer sound as loud as a hurricane? As I sit here at the beach, on the balcony, on a beautiful, sunny, warm and peaceful morning watching the sun rise over the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, something is terribly wrong. What? I can't hear you. Could you speak louder? Sorry, the new washer and dryer we recently bought are roaring so loud I can't hear myself think. We've had this place at the beach for a while, and it is a perfect place to unwind — that is, unless we have some laundry to do.

Ariana Grande Reveals Her Most "Boring" Song
Spoiler: the song is definitely NOT boring!
You drive me insane!
At a recent intimate performance with fans Ariana decided to take song requests from the audience. Someone shouted out the Pop bop "Why Try" from her sophomore album My Everything, which led Ariana Grande to reveal that she thinks that song is her most boring song!!
"Why does everyone like that song? That song is so boring? 'Why Try' is my most boring song." Watch it happen below:
"why does everyone like that song it's so boring. why try is my most boring song" -Ariana Grande 2018 pic.twitter.com/CPUwz9C83N— ----------♂ (@godisfenty) September 5, 2018
RELATED: Ariana Grande & 'SNL' Star Pete Davidson Are Engaged!
"Why Try" is definitely one of her better songs and it's hysterical she thinks it is boring. The track is sandwiched between "One Last Time" and "Break Free" on the album, so does it need anymore proof it's a smash? Naturally she went on to perform it because she loves her Arianators and she's the best.
Come on Ari...."Best Mistake" is more boring tbh.
