Glamour Beauty Festival 2018 and goodie bag reveal!
This year was my first time at the Glamour Beauty Festival. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I knew that there would be plenty of big name brands and an opportunity to watch a talk with professionals in the beauty world. My friend and I decided to attend the Saturday afternoon session. This meant we had from 2.30-6.30 to explore, as well as a talk with Kat Von D makeup artists. We had already pre-booked the talk in advance at no extra charge! When we arrived at the venue to join the queue, it was very clearly explained in the brochure where all of the different stations would be and what we could expect inside. To say we were excited is an understatement!
How I would describe the event is almost like a beauty theme park. There are different stations over 3 floors of the venue, with stands of makeup artists, beauticians and hairdressers from brands such as Laura Mercier, Kat Von D, GHD, Elizabeth Arden, Caudalie and NARS (just to name a few!) You then need to queue for each station to be sat with a member of staff and receive a demonstration or explanation about the brand products, all included in the price of entry. You were never obliged to buy anything!
We decided after looking at the brochure that our tactic would be to work from the top floor down. We started at the nail station and had our nails painted with ORLY nail varnish. The beauticians were quick but careful with their manicures and I was extremely pleased with the colour and application.
I will say that the queues throughout the day were long. The longest that we queued was about 20/25 minutes, so you do need to be prepared to wait. However, mostly all of the staff that we spoke to on various counters were really knowledgeable and friendly even though they must have seen so many people throughout the day!
After trying out out a few of the other stations, I decided to go to the Schwarzkopf station as they were using their spray in colours. I really wanted to see how I would look with pink ombre hair! Due to the queue I did miss the Kat Von D beauty talk, although my friend went and said it was very informative and interesting to see different make up looks demonstrated live. I was pleased with my hair, however I may plan my time a little better next year!!
Of course, the best part of the day was receiving the goodie bag that included a product from each brand at the event, worth over £180! My favourites are definitely the NARS Powermatte lip pigment, Laura Mercier foundation primer and Kat Von D tattoo eyeliner. The inclusion of these higher end products in a goodie bag is a great way to try out these brands on a budget!
As well as this amazing goodie bag, you could also go to the Latest in Beauty counter to receive 5 free sample size products from their 'wall of beauty.' Here are my picks below with a few extra perfume samples thrown in!
Overall we absolutely loved the day and really felt as if it was great value for money. Although a lot of the products we received were not necessarily bargain products, I think for the price of £36 for the ticket (we bought an early bird ticket through the Glamour Beauty Club), we had some really informative demonstrations as well as loads of amazing new products to try. I would definitely recommend this event, especially for any beauty lovers on a budget looking to try out high-end products!
What do you think, will you be attending next year? Which products would you like to try?

There are a few retailers leaking the price of Intel's next-gen Kaby Lake processors, detailing the cost of the upcoming Core i7-7700K and Core i5-7600K CPUs.
Intel's flagship Core i7-7700K should be priced at $349 in the US, clocking in at 4.2GHz/4.5GHz for base/boost, respectively. We should find 8MB of L3 cache, and a TDP of 91W, with Intel tapping its 14nm Plus process.
The fastest Core i5 processor in the Kaby Lake family is the Core i5-7600K, a quad-core CPU without Hyper-Threading, still baked on the new 14nm Plus process node, with base/boost clocks of 3.8GHz and 4.2GHz, respectively. There's 6MB of L3 cache, and the same 91W TDP, while the price of the Core i5-7600K should hit $239.
Intel will be launching its new Kaby Lake family on January 5, right in the middle of CES 2017 - we will be there covering it all!

In order to make money from either the Financial Market or the Foreign Exchange Market one has to trade in this market. This "trading" happens to be the hardest part because not everyone fully understand the various ways or method on how currencies can be traded.
There are many ways on how one can trade currencies profitably in the Forex Market. Using demand and supply happens to be one of those ways, we will talk on how to use demand and supply to trade currencies in this article.
Currencies are traded in pairs, for example we don't just trade only the United State Dollars (USD) but we trade it with another currency which can be any country's currency such as Great Britain Pound (GBP), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY) etc.
ALSO READ: How to Make Money Trading Gold Online?
Most people sometimes mistaken commodities of different sort such as Gold, Silver and Oil (Brent or WTI) to be part of the Forex Market which is not right, we will only look at currencies in this article.
What Are Demand And Supply?
Demand and Supply both have different meaning depending on their usage, but I will try my best to make you understand how they can be properly used, to know when to buy a specific currency pair and when to sell.
Demand occurs when the price of a currency pair is rising that means a lot of people or market participants are buying, depending on the size of the market and it's volatility, the buying pressure or demand can range from minutes to days or months and can even cause spikes in the candlestick movement.
Check out: Is Binary Option Trading a Scam?
There are different indicators and even Expert Advisors that trade using this "demand and supply principles" but there is no better way to master this technique than to train your eyes to identify them.
Another important thing to note is; there is always a demand and supply on all time frames on the chart. For example if you open a 1 minute chart and a 5 minute chart you will notice a huge difference that's because the smaller the time frame has more noise and lots of fake signals. So, in other to get a better and accurate signal, I recommend traders to use the daily chart (time frame) and if possible to even use the weekly chart (time frame).
The green circled areas are the peak point for demand and the red circled areas are the peak point for supply.
So, what we are interested in is finding these peak zones and how we do that using pending order using the USDJPY as a reference point, we can see how well this currency pair trend especially of a higher time frame like the dailies time frame.
If we are expecting demand to kick off any time but we do not at which price to enter a buy trade we can use a buy limit order, what this does is to open a buy position below the currently market price, the purpose is that since we do not know how far price might range, we might as well hedge our position.
READ: What Are Exchange Rates?
The same happens for a sell position (supply), using a selling limit order we can hedge our position and expect supply to exceed demands.
As I earlier stated, that using demand and supply to trade might aid you in trading but it is not a get rich quick mode of trading. When using this method to trade do not forget that you will need a good equity (trading capital) because of days of high volatility which can be caused by news and political events and thus spikes on the candle sticks on the chart.
Another major challenge is trying to know where to place your limit order. But with time and trading experience, it will become easier remember to trade currencies that trend very well such as USDJPY, EURJPY, GBPUSD etc.
In summary, without the right trading psychology, method and education it may be hard to really make money from the financial market.
What Is the Best Time Frame for Traders?


The AHC was originally founded in 2005 as a Disaster Management organization to help a few states on the East Coast plan and coordinate regionally for large scale threats, disaster, accidents and incidents. Super Storm SANDY changed everything in 2012. Post SANDY, the AHC became a "liaison" partner with government and began working with the private sector in addressing their long-standing operational issues with disaster preparedness, response and recovery within the "life line sectors" of electric, food, fuel, telecom, finance, transportation, medical and supply chain sectors.
Today, with over 16,000 stakeholders nationwide, the AHC and facilitates a trust framework where a number of public and private sector working groups convene meetings, initiate projects, capture public/private funding, develop partnerships and create sector focused solutions that focus on enhancing "information sharing" during any type of incident at the multi-state level.
The private sector operates the AHC's Multi-State Fleet Response Working Group (FRWG), a national group of companies and states that focus on solving a long list of operational issues related to transportation, weather, acquiring disaster documentation from government, meeting compliance/legal requirements, locating disaster resources, and sensitive information sharing.
State, local and federal government operational professionals advise the FRWG along the way and support the joint development of solutions, planning/exercises, leveraging information/projects/investments, conducting research, and working towards a operational unity of effort during regional disasters.
Decision makers in industry and government all claim they need the same thing during a disaster....better, more organized data.... faster. Speed and accuracy of information is critical in order to assess a situation and make critical decision in 30 seconds.
To support this, the FRWG formed a working group of states and companies to work with DHS Science & Technology and DHS Infrastructure Protection develop the SISE (Sensitive Information Sharing Environment) a "trust framework" for information sharing operated by the All Hazards Consortium and its partners from government and industry for the purpose of sharing sensitive operational information before, during and after storms, disasters and disruptions of any kind.
The SISE integrates legal agreements, policies, processes, standards and technology together into a single platform that forms the trust framework and provides the bedrock to build solution upon in the future. The SISE is managed by the private sector and shared with government for collaboration and decision making needs.
The SISE's provides vetted users access to a disaster apps store that hosts dozens of disaster management apps designed to aggregate and centralize information, organize it into simple usable apps, and provide public and private sector decision makers with tools and data that dramatically enhanced situational awareness, common operating pictures, and decision support.
A New Disaster "Apps Store"
As operational problems are identified during a disaster, the FRWG develops a use case template to fix it. By developing short-, mid-, and long-terms solutions for each problem, the FRWG stakeholders quickly work together to locate existing solutions (e.g. research, apps, solutions, processes, training, and data sets) that can be tested during exercises and/or live events.
A service will be available in 2017 called 1StopOps... which will serve as a one-stop-shop for unique disaster response apps and solutions jointly developed by government and industry working together within the SISE framework.
1StopOps will feature a simple, three tiered access annual subscription model to serve the beginner, intermediate and advanced users with their disaster management information, planning and exercise needs.
The AHC's working groups and their partners across government, academia and the private sector are working together to develop a new approach....Disaster Management 2.0..... that builds upon the proven principles and lessons learned in the past, but moves towards a more data driven decision making environment to address many of the repetitive decision that have to be made during every disaster, free us up to address the unique issues of the present disaster.


I'll post any photos from our cottage loaf bake-off here, as they come in.
Heidi's latest loaf! Rye with caraway seeds, and perfectly formed..
Pulled together and rested. Kneaded in 10g salt and rested. Kneaded in soaked seeds (20g each pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds, 15g linseeds, 1 tsp wattleseed ground) and rested. Kneaded again and rounded up and into fridge. Later removed and after about 1 hour, divided into about 770g and 350g portions (I think). Shaped and left for about an hour. Baked for 48 min.
Heidiannie has been baking too – look at this gorgeous rustic loaf! I love the scattered seeds all over it. Her blog post is here – check out her seriously cute three-tiered cottage loaf while you're there!
Sally from Bewitching Kitchen baked this fabulous loaf – read all about how she made it here!
Odette's cottage loaf, made with this Dan Lepard white bread recipe. She also provided this slideshow of the dough rising!
More from Joanna – meet Tweedledee and Tweedledum. They're made to an old Elizabeth David yeasted bread recipe, which involved baking them in a cold oven! Jo has very kindly provided her recipe in the comments section of the original bake-off post.
Some photos of Joanna's mini cobnut cottage loaf rolls – they're so cute!
C from Cakes, Crumbs and Cooking baked this gorgeous cottage loaf using a yeasted white dough. Isn't she clever?
…but its twin was a little wonky. Mind you, I quite like them like that – I think they have more personality!
It WAS singing! The kids thought it was very cute and laughed themselves silly once they saw it in the oven…they were hoping for the top to pop right off!
Thanks for your lovely comments Celia. I had meant to email you and tell you that I was participating, but ran out of time last night. Bed beckoned, but you found my post anyway!
The texture isn't perfect though – perhaps I'll have to try again…. I can see this might be addictive!
Please do let me know if you try again, and I'll upload any more photos you have..

When a loved one is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, it is natural to ask why. Unfortunately, we still don't know all the answers.
Autism is a diagnosis based on the observation of particular behaviours; currently, we have no reliable biological test for autism. Eventually, we may discover that autism is not a single disorder but a group of disorders with many different causes, which would help explain how it varies so much in symptoms and severity.
For now, we don't know the exact cause of autism however research suggests it's a combination of developmental, genetic and environmental factors. What we do know quite clearly is what does not cause autism.
Families with one child with autism have an increased risk of having another child with autism when compared with the general population. The risk of having another affected child is estimated to be around 1 in 5.
Family members of a person with autism also tend to have higher rates of autistic traits.
Twin studies demonstrate that when one identical (monozygotic) twin is affected by autism, there's a very high chance the other twin will be affected too (77% in one large study). With fraternal (dizygotic) twins, who have a different genetic makeup to each other, the risk is much less.
Google 'autism and genes' and you'll find it's a thriving area of autism research. Unfortunately, about the only thing that's clear at the moment is that the genetics of autism are extremely complex, with hundreds of different possible 'risk genes' and pathways identified, some involving multiple genes in combination with environmental factors.
There is growing evidence that older fathers and mothers (over 45 years) are at increased risk of having a child with autism. Older parents, as a rule, are more likely to have children with developmental and other disorders. While the cause is most likely genetic, older mothers are also at higher risk of pregnancy and birth complications.
Pregnancy and, to a lesser extent, early infancy appear to be crucial periods when brain development may be affected. Bacterial or viral infections in the mother during pregnancy have been found to slightly increase the risk of autism however this is only a minor factor.
Other factors in the mother that could be related to offspring autism include a folic acid deficiency, gestational diabetes and the use of certain antidepressants during pregnancy, but no conclusive evidence exists for any of these links.
Conversely, taking prenatal vitamins seems to decrease the risk.
In the past decade there has been increased research into the aspects of our environment that may also contribute to autism. However, despite substantial research, no one environmental factor has yet been found to be a definite cause of autism.
There was a bleak period in history from the 1950s to 1970s when autism was believed to be a psychological disorder, and blamed on cold, uncaring parents, usually the mothers.
Fortunately, the myth of the 'refrigerator mother' has been debunked by science, and autism is now recognised as a disorder of brain development with genetic links. Nothing you said or did as a parent caused your child to develop autism, so please don't listen to anyone who suggests otherwise.
In 2014, a meta-analysis, combining the result of 10 studies and over 1.2 million children, found no link between vaccines and autism. The World Health Organization, the European Medicines Agency, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other leading international health groups have also concluded there's no link. Unfortunately, the belief persists among anti-vaccination campaigners, who are very vocal on the Internet. If you remain concerned about vaccines, arrange a time to talk your paediatrician or GP. Remember, Vaccines Save Lives!
What causes autism? What we know, don't know and suspect — Dr Andrew Whitehouse at The Conversation.

Q: Internet Explorer defaults to 64-bit version My IE8 has suddenly started defaulting to the 64-bit version. I have no idea how or why this has happened, but I suspect it might be linked to the Browser Choice Screen that Microsoft was recently forced to display by EU law.
However, many web sites will not display correctly in IE8 x64 (eg. sites that use Adobe Flash or Microsoft Silverlight). I have the 32-bit version of IE pinned to my taskbar and if I launch it manually, everything is fine. But when I click on a URL from another program and IE is not already running, then the 64-bit version gets launched. This really messes with programs like BBC iPlayer which rely heavily on Adbobe Air and Flash.
So, how do I get IE8 32-bit version to be the default version again? I've tried using the "default programs" control panel and that doesn;t make any difference (in fact, it doesn't give the choice between x84 and x64 versions, it just lists "internet explorer").

A: Try editing the registry. Make sure to open the 64-bit registry editor. (you have to close the 32-bit one first).
Go to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\http\shell\open\command and set the (Default) value to the path (from the 64-bit point of view) of 32-bit IE, which might be "C:\Program Files(x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -nohome (the "-nohome" is a commandline option which my copy of IE8 adds to this value)
You might want to do the same for the classes https and even htmlfile if you want to double-click HTML files and open them in 32-bit IE.
All this won't help if a 64-bit application executes iexplore.exe directly instead of launching a URL. (in fact I haven't tested my suggestion at all because I don't have 64-bit Windows. Nevertheless it might work)

A: try changing the defaults in:
control panel > programs > default programs > set associations

A: I ran into this problem when opening links in Outlook 2003 on Windows 7 64-bit. The links by default would open the 64-bit Internet Explorer 8 and therefore required third-party plug-ins would not be loaded.
I found a few places in the registry where the default IE is identified by its path and they need to be changed.
Copy the text below the dotted line (Windows Registry... should be first line copied) to notepad and save the file as IEdefaults.reg to your desktop. Double-click the file on your desktop to merge the registry information. Be sure to backup the registry beforehand, but all that's being modified are the paths to Internet Explorer, where " (x86)" is added next to Program Files. The locations can also be updated manually if you don't want to create the registry file. Just find the locations in the registry and add " (x86)" (without quotes).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

A: If everything is set correctly and IE insists on starting in x64 even if you launched the exe file directly, the following registry edit will fix the issue:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"TabProcGrowth"="1"

A: i did came across similar situation recently.
i kind of worked it around and it works fine now.
here is what i did

*

*access *c:\program files (x86)\internet explorer*

*copy iexplore.exe "which would be a 32bit version"

*now i went to **c:\program files\internet explorer**

*rename iexplore.exe to anything else and paste iexplore.exe from *c:\program files (x86)\internet explorer* here

try access internet, it would always open 32bit version. not much fiddeling around with registry and all.
You can try doing the same if iexplore.exe 32bit is corrupted or troubling you

Высо́кое (до 1948 года Каялы́-Сарт; , ) — исчезнувшее село в Ленинском районе Республики Крым, располагавшееся в центре района и Керченского полуострова, примерно в 2,5 км к западу от современного села Новосёловка.

История
Первое документальное упоминание села встречается в Камеральном Описании Крыма… 1784 года, судя по которому, в последний период Крымского ханства Каялы Сарт входил в Орта Керченский кадылык Кефинского каймаканства. После присоединения Крыма к России (8) 19 апреля 1783 года, (8) 19 февраля 1784 года, именным указом Екатерины II сенату, на территории бывшего Крымского Ханства была образована Таврическая область и деревня была приписана к Левкопольскому, а после ликвидации в 1787 году Левкопольского — к Феодосийскому уезду Таврической области. Перед Русско-турецкой войной 1787—1791 годов производилось выселение крымских татар из прибрежных селений во внутренние районы полуострова, в ходе которого в Сарт было переселено 22 человека. В конце войны, 14 августа 1791 года всем было разрешено вернуться на место прежнего жительства. После Павловских реформ, с 1796 по 1802 год, входила в Акмечетский уезд Новороссийской губернии. По новому административному делению, после создания 8 (20) октября 1802 года Таврической губернии, Каялы-Сарт был включён в состав Кадыкелечинской волости Феодосийского уезда.

По Ведомости о числе селений, названиях оных, в них дворов… состоящих в Феодосийском уезде от 14 октября 1805 года , в деревне Каяли-Сарт числилось 12 дворов и 70 жителей. На военно-топографической карте генерал-майора Мухина 1817 года деревня Каялысарт обозначена с 13 дворами. После реформы волостного деления 1829 года Каялы-Сарт, согласно «Ведомости о казённых волостях Таврической губернии 1829 года», отнесли к Чалтемирской волости (переименованной из Кадыкелечинской). На карте 1836 года в деревне 13 дворов. На карте 1836 года в деревне 13 дворов. Видимо, вследствие эмиграции крымских татар в Турцию, деревня опустела и на карте 1842 года Каялы-Сарт обозначен условным знаком «малая деревня», то есть, менее 5 дворов.

В 1860-х годах, после земской реформы Александра II, деревню приписали к Петровской волости. Видимо, селение было вновь заселено и согласно «Списку населённых мест Таврической губернии по сведениям 1864 года», составленному по результатам VIII ревизии 1864 года, Каялы-Сарт — владельческая татарская деревня с 17 дворами, 98 жителями и мечетью при колодцах. На трёхверстовой карте Шуберта 1865—1876 года в деревне Каялы-Сарт обозначено 22 двора. По «Памятной книге Таврической губернии 1889 года», по результатам Х ревизии 1887 года, в деревне Каялы-Сарт числилось 32 двора и 195 жителей. По «…Памятной книжке Таврической губернии на 1892 год» в безземельной деревне Коялы-Сарт, не входившей ни в одно сельское общество, числилось 103 жителя, домохозяйств не имеющих. По «…Памятной книжке Таврической губернии на 1902 год» в деревне Каялы-Сарт, входившей в Ташлыярское сельское общество, числилось 74 жителя в 15 домохозяйствах. По Статистическому справочнику Таврической губернии. Ч.II-я. Статистический очерк, выпуск пятый Феодосийский уезд, 1915 год, в деревне Каялы-Сарт (Шебетеева) Петровской волости Феодосийского уезда числилось 20 дворов с татарским населением в количестве 95 человек приписных жителей и 8 «посторонних».

После установления в Крыму Советской власти, по постановлению Крымревкома, 25 декабря 1920 года был образован Керченский (степной) уезд, а, постановлением ревкома № 206 «Об изменении административных границ» от 8 января 1921 года была упразднена волостная система и село вошло в состав Петровского района Керченского уезда, а в 1922 году уезды получили название округов. 11 октября 1923 года, согласно постановлению ВЦИК, в административное деление Крымской АССР были внесены изменения, в результате которых округа были отменены, Петровский район упразднили, влив в Керченский район. Согласно Списку населённых пунктов Крымской АССР по Всесоюзной переписи 17 декабря 1926 года, в селе Каялы-Сарт, Кара-Сиджеутского сельсовета Керченского района, числилось 37 дворов, все крестьянские, население составляло 163 человека, из них 160 татар и 3 болгарина, действовала татарская школа I ступени (пятилетка). Постановлением ВЦИК «О реорганизации сети районов Крымской АССР» от 30 октября 1930 года (по другим сведениям 15 сентября 1931 года) Керченский район упразднили и село включили в состав Ленинского. На подробной карте РККА Керченского полуострова 1941 года в селе отмечено 27 двора.

В 1944 году, после освобождения Крыма от фашистов, согласно постановлению ГКО № 5859 от 11 мая 1944 года, 18 мая крымские татары были депортированы в Среднюю Азию. 12 августа 1944 года было принято постановление № ГОКО-6372с «О переселении колхозников в районы Крыма» и в сентябре того же года в район приехали первые новоселы 204 семьи из Тамбовской области, а в начале 1950-х годов последовала вторая волна переселенцев из различных областей Украины. С 25 июня 1946 года селение в составе Крымской области РСФСР. Указом Президиума Верховного Совета РСФСР от 18 мая 1948 года, Каялы-Сарт переименовали в Высокое. 26 апреля 1954 года Крымская область была передана из состава РСФСР в состав УССР. Исключено из учётных данных в 1964 году (согласно справочнику «Крымская область. Административно-территориальное деление на 1 января 1968 года» — в период с 1954 по 1968 год, как село Ленинского сельсовета). В настоящее время, территория, на которой располагалось село, относится к Марфовскому сельсовету.

A crucial part of your automobile? The brakes, of course. From weather elements to 5 o'clock traffic, it's important to be able to stop on a dime.

Although this situation is similar to when it comes time for you to receive service on the brakes in your car, it's also very different. Drivers must not wait until they experience countless warning signs. Waiting could be potentially life shattering - not only for you and your passengers, but for others on the road as well.
The second your brakes start sounding odd or the pressure required for you to slow or stop seems a little off, it's time for you to take these issues seriously. If you experience any of these warning signs, don't hesitate to stop by our dealership. Here, you can visit our service department where our trained technicians will work quickly to find the problem. Our team has years' worth of experience servicing and maintaining a wide array of makes and models. You're in good hands when you choose us.

Discounting can be a powerful tool for brands when managed properly.
Thousands of businesses 'accidentally' give customers more discount than the profit they make on certain individual products or services.
Discount voucher sites are all the rage. Groupon, Living Social and a host of other players are entering the mushrooming markdown market. This begs the question if discount sites are good news for brand value?
Yesterday, I splurged on an expensive hair treatment that promises to give me frizz-free hair for 12 weeks. I first learned of this treatment a year ago, but rejected it as a frivolous indulgence at $350 a treatment. But when I was told of a $129 price promotion on the same treatment, I immediately said, 'Sign me up!' Now at $129, frizz-free hair is still a frivolous indulgence — but think of the 'value'! A similar mechanism was at work last month when I spent more than I intended to on a car. The more expensive car had a higher discount. How could I pass up the greater 'value', even if it was costing me more?
Many marketers asked Santa for a social coupon campaign for 2011. The explosive growth of Groupon and Groupon clones (BuyWithMe, LivingSocial, SocialBuy, and Tippr), offering "ridiculously huge" coupons (50-90% off), is taking marketing plans by storm.

His father, Frank, guided his son's enthusiasm for cars during those early years which he applied to Mercurys, Fords and Plymouths that he drove and raced. Upon moving to Colorado Springs in 1970 with a young family, he became involved as a crew member in local stock car racing on circle tracks as well as the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
In 1974 Dennis and family joined The Pikes Peak Quarter Midget Association and started racing with his son, Mark. During these initial years with the core members, he was instrumental in building up this new club as well as their new track. All the materials for the tower and concession stand were donated, with his help, by the lumber yard he worked for.
In the early 90s, Dennis and his son started a new classification of racing in Colorado. Outlaw Mini Sprints still run today as Lightning Sprints on Colorado's dirt tracks. In the mid 90s, Dennis consulted with the initial group of developers who were in the planning stages for PPIR. His suggestions to host racing classes at the speedway, similar to PIR's Copper World Classic, were later used when the speedway opened. During all of his years, he found time to enjoy Colorado with his family and friends while camping, fishing, four wheeling and boating.
He is survived by his mother, Pauline Misegadis; his children: Mark Misegadis and Paige Siedler; his siblings: Melvin Misegadis and Nina Freed; 3 grandchildren: Nathan Siedler, Cameron Misegadis, and Samantha Siedler; and 2 great-grandchildren: Juniper Jackson and Lucas Siedler. He was preceded in death by his father and his wife.
A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 28, 2017 at Shrine of Remembrance "America the Beautiful" Chapel. Private inurnment will be at Shrine of Remembrance Mausoleum, Garden of Tranquility.

if you are a late pledger, you may be able to request access to the relic knight beta forum. T Here you can see, first hand, how things are progressing. Sadly, I have no been able to keep up with the RK beta myself. I _think_ it's close to done at this point though. But there's no reason not to get access and check out what's going on there still.
Otherwise, Sodapop always delivers on it's kickstarters. Usually a bit late, but that's par for everything kickstarter really. I've not seen any indications that this project is seriously behind schedule or anything though.
Glad you decided to take a look and jump in!
My guess is that things are mostly on track right now to ship close to the estimated timeframe on the KS main page. However, SPM has committed to giving us 30 days notice before they close the pledge manager, and we haven't gotten that yet. The playtest has shifted forcus to getting the 2-player starter finished off, and that's the main part of wave 1; my guess is when that is ready they will give us their estimated delivery date for wave 1. Depending on production times, etc, I'd say that wave 1 won't be ready to ship until mid October at the absolute earliest.
Thanks for your replies. Had a feeling it ma have been mod to late Oct before delivery. Always the way with a kick starter project.
Are the 1.0 models like suspect 9 being remastered in resin, or are they still plastic?
Ok, took the plunge and ordered everything void has plus the pledge of course, this will be my second venture into RK, first one was a dissaster, but I have high hopes the second time will be better, especially with all resin miniatures and renewed rules.
Almost everything currently in plastic will be resculpted and re-released in resin at some point. SPM went through the line and pulled the worst models for immediate resculpt. The plastics that weren't pulled were deemed good enough to sell through current stock before they are moved to resin. They have said a few Noh models may stay plastic, since their scale means they have good detail, but I'd be surprised if they weren't eventually moved to resin for completeness sake. The two Penny Arcade figures cannot contractually be manufactured again, so only their stats cards are getting updated, and I believe they are not planning on redoing the boost token pack.

What does a Lawyer do?
A lawyer gives legal advice to people, government agencies, and businesses and offer representation to them when needed. They prepare legal documents and interpret laws, regulations, and rulings.
Watch a video to learn what a lawyer does.
A lawyer spends an average of 7 years in college. This breaks down into 4 years of undergraduate school and 3 years more of law school. A bachelor's degree is required to enter law school with preferable courses in English, public speaking, government, history, economics, and math. Most law schools require an applicant to take a Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). To finally become a lawyer, most states and jurisdictions want a Juris Doctor (J.D.) law degree, and then you must pass the bar exam.

They also advise their clients on their legal rights or obligations and counsel them on the best way to proceed according to their legal circumstances. A lawyer conducts research on legal issues and is qualified to interpret laws, regulations, and rulings. They draw up legal documents like wills, deeds, contracts, lawsuits, and appeals.

Lawyers mostly work indoors and in office buildings, however some travel may be required when meeting with clients or attending court hearings.
Lawyer Career Video Transcript
Lawyers advise individuals, businesses, and government agencies on legal issues and disputes, and represent them in court and legal transactions. Also called attorneys, lawyers inform their clients about their legal rights and obligations, and help steer them through the complexities of the law. They also advocate for their clients in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments. Lawyers conduct research and prepare documents, such as lawsuits, wills, and contracts. They also oversee the work of paralegals and legal secretaries.
Lawyers work for law firms, governments, and corporations. In government, prosecutors are the attorneys who file charges against those accused of violating the law. Public defenders represent individuals who cannot afford to pay an attorney. Lawyers who work in law firms often start as associates and may advance to the partnership or part-owner in their firm. Those who do not make partner after several years may be forced to leave, a practice known as "up or out."
Lawyers may specialize in a subject area, such as environmental law, tax, intellectual property, or family law. Most lawyers work in offices, and travel to visit clients or represent their clients in court. They generally keep full-time hours, and overtime is common. Attorneys may face heavy pressure at times. For example, during trials or when trying to meet deadlines. It usually takes three years of law school after college to become a lawyer. All states require lawyers to pass licensing tests called "bar exams" to practice law. Prior felony convictions may disqualify candidates from practicing law.
