4 Warning Signs You Probably Need Dental Implants - Trusted Dentistry.
Dental implants are used as a method of replacing missing or damaged teeth with natural looking prosthetics. They are usually made of titanium and are placed into the jaw in order to stabilize a replacement tooth, bridge, or even dentures. Here are just some of the things that might indicate that you need dental implants.
Some patients will need an implant or some sort of replacement tooth after they get a root canal. A root canal is necessary when you have so much damage to your tooth that you really can't have it in your mouth anymore. Your dentist will drill into the middle of the tooth and remove all the decay. Then, an implant can be placed where the tooth used to be to so you're still able to chew, smile, etc.
People damage their teeth from injuries rather often. If you feel intense pain after an injury, your tooth could be broken, cracked, or chipped. In this instance, you might have damage in more than one place. Adding an implant will replace the broken tooth and provide support for surrounding teeth.
If you have an advanced cavity, you probably won't have enough healthy tooth left to support a filling. This is where the implant comes in. It will provide much better protection than a filling will against gum disease and further damage. It will be up to your dentist to make the decision on whether you need an implant or a simple filling.
Many people are concerned about the look of their teeth, and dental implants can help improve appearance. If you have a tooth that is damaged, discolored, too small, or somehow unattractive, a dental implant can replace it so it looks just like a natural, pretty tooth.
More than three million people have dental implants in the United States, and that number is slowly growing by 500,000 every year. If you experience any of these warning signs above, it's time to visit your dentist to talk about dental implants.

The Voice of Technology
Soviet Cinema's Transition to Sound, 1928–1935
Lilya Kaganovsky
Format: Paperback 101 b&w illus.
Hardback $95.00
As cinema industries around the globe adjusted to the introduction of synch-sound technology, the Soviet Union was also shifting culturally, politically, and ideologically from the heterogeneous film industry of the 1920s to the centralized industry of the 1930s, and from the avant-garde to Socialist Realism. In The Voice of Technology: Soviet Cinema's Transition to Sound, 1928–1935, Lilya Kaganovsky explores the history, practice, technology, ideology, aesthetics, and politics of the transition to sound within the context of larger issues in Soviet media history. Industrialization and centralization of the cinema industry greatly altered the way movies in the Soviet Union were made, while the introduction of sound radically influenced the way these movies were received. Kaganovsky argues that the coming of sound changed the Soviet cinema industry by making audible, for the first time, the voice of State power, directly addressing the Soviet viewer. By exploring numerous examples of films from this transitional period, Kaganovsky demonstrates the importance of the new technology of sound in producing and imposing the "Soviet Voice."
Lilya Kaganovsky is Professor of Slavic, Comparative Literature, and Media and Cinema Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She is author of How the Soviet Man was Unmade, and editor (with Lauren M. E. Goodlad and Robert A Rushing) of Mad Men, Mad World: Sex, Politics, Style and the 1960 and (with Masha Salazkina) of Sound, Music, Speech in Soviet and Post-Soviet Cinema.
"Kaganovsky's research is impeccable. Not only does she reference virtually all English-language writing on her subject, she also has combed the archives, unearthing personal stories, government records, filmmakers' notes, press reviews from the period, and other previously untranslated documents."

Jacqueline and Monica
"I wanted to do something with a deeper meaning. With these textile arts, I'm able to help many women by giving them a craft and a place where they can discover all their own abilities."
With a firm belief in the power of women to make significant changes in their live, Jacqueline y Mónica seek to offer opportunities to women who struggle day by day with poverty, insecurity and discrimination. These Salvadoran women provide a stable and constant income through a beautiful textile craft. They are reactivating the use of natural dyes that have been fading away over the years as fewer and fewer artisans utilize them.
"I'm Jacqueline. I was born in El Salvador and I come from a wonderful family, although we were very poor. From the time I was small, I worked to pay for my schooling. I thank God that I was able to complete a university degree. This is what has always helped me keep a spirit of striving for my goals, of perseverance.
"I began learning about dyes some time ago. I realized that this would let me have my own workshop, however I wanted to do something with a deeper meaning. With these textile arts, I'm able to help many women by giving them a craft and a place where they can discover their own abilities.
"Thank God, I was able to launch this project I so desired. Yet I knew something was missing. In 2016, I met Monica. She had a shop selling handicrafts where she gave many artisans an opportunity to show their work.
"We instantly clicked. She had all the tools for us to grow together. We joined forces and have formed a wonderful team.
"We've both worked hard to see this artisan project grow. Above all, we've been able to help many women who have learned this art. And with the sales, we're able to help them have a fair and constant income.
"We work with all kinds of designs. Our indigo dyes are marvelous and natural, and the colors are beautiful. My mother helps us create and dye the apparel, and we create a variety of items, from home décor accents to clothing and accessories.
"We believe in the power of women. We've seen the changes their lives can experience. We live in a country where poverty and violence constantly challenge women. We face the struggle together, we work for a better future and we strive to give the new generations a country free of injustice with prosperous jobs and much motivation to be able to get ahead."

Simon Doonan Feels for Levi Johnston, Thinks Sarah Palin Is a Fake
We ran into Simon Doonan on his home turf, at Barneys' launch party for André Benjamin's menswear line, Benjamin Bixby, last night. Doonan called rapper-actor-designer (and Atlanta native) Benjamin a "real southern gentleman." So we asked what him what he thinks about that northerner in the news, Sarah Palin. "Oh, she is so LensCrafters I just don't even know where to begin. People keep saying to me, 'She's Miss Congeniality.' I'm seeing more LensCrafters," Doonan told us. And it wasn't just a snap: Doonan says he heard that Palin actually had Lasik surgery years ago and wears eyeglasses to give her some gravitas. (We have no idea if this is true.) "The eyewear is just like, 'I'm a serious, thinking kind of woman,'" Doonan insisted. "So she really is like the LensCrafters lady." The knocked-up daughter, meanwhile, truly makes Palin seem "more real." But Doonan worries for baby daddy Levi Johnston: "I feel bad for that hockey youth who's now being told what to wear, where to walk, how to stand, etc., Boy, did he get sideswiped."

The year 2018 brought in a lot of cheer especially for the organized sector of the market. The Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) and the casual dining restaurants account for a major share of the revenues of the organized chain market in India. The newer sectors like Cloud Kitchens and Ghost Kitchens are not far behind due to their Lean Business Model and Capital Efficient Operations.
The year saw a lot of emphasis on organized methods of operations throughout the country and the competition for the Top spot in the Restaurant Management Sector and will be spilling into 2019. There were many advancements in Restaurant Management Software especially when it comes to avoiding wastage of food, hyperlocal sourcing, environmental sustainability, ingredient transparency..etc. Technology companies are doing their bit in educating the Restaurant Owners of many facets of operations which otherwise might have been ignored by them.
However, a few Restaurant Software companies have been working on increasing the efficiency of restaurants by making them efficient and independent at the same time. As a result, significant strides are expected in Restaurant Software / POS System companies in 2019.
A sign of relief of Restaurant Owners as Restaurant Software companies have realized the need of being an End to End solution provider. This makes the restaurants so much more efficient as now they have to only worry about running their setup rather than shifting focus away from their core functional strength. Working with service providers who hand hold you to profitability is always better than working with a simple solution provider. If your end goal is sustainability in the market, then you have to explore the alternate dimensions of a complete End to End Restaurant Management System.
The rise of food aggregators has been a boon and bane to the industry. It's a boon because now restaurants can think of alternate sources of revenue. It's a bane because customers have started to look for restaurants offering the best offers rather than ordering from them because they stand for a brand. There's a desperate need to bring back the days when people went to an MTR, Saravana Bhavan or a Hotel Shadab for their food rather than their offers. There are few Restaurant POS Software Companies who are seriously looking into this and are coming out with innovative ideas which are definitely worth exploring.
How much longer will the restaurants print traditional paper-based Menus? Significant strides have been made to make the Menus and user-friendly. E Menu is the new buzzword in town and many technology companies have already mastered the art of the perfect Restaurant Menu Management Software. This makes the operations so much simpler and improves the way the customer communicates his/her wishes at the time of placing an Order. Even if a restaurant wants to introduce something new or change something in their Menu, it should be through a few clicks/taps rather than printing new menu every time.
The Digital Presence of a restaurant is currently restricted their presence on Food Aggregator platforms. But the brands who have truly blossomed are the ones with Long terms vision of how well a particular customer connects with their brand. This is only possible if brands associate themselves with Restaurant Management Software companies who know a thing or two about building a strong Digital Presence. This does not mean just having a webpage, it goes beyond that. A perfect Order Management website of a particular restaurant makes it that much more attractive to a customer rather than presenting them with a pale looking website.
Everyday innovations are happening in the restaurant technology that would further improve operations and help the restaurants significantly. The year 2019 is also expected to bring out some interesting innovations and restaurant technology trends in the food and beverage sector.
E menu is really interesting.
Good Read. Worth to invest time on reading it.

"Dinghy drift tonight," is announced on the VHF, channel 68. "Meet under the lighthouse at 5:30 and bring a dish to pass." And so we all do.
Twenty-five inflatable and hard bottom dinghies – all under 20 feet long – converge and tie themselves together. We're a huge floating island. We introduce ourselves to the boats next to us and we stand up to yell and wave to friends on the other side of the dinghy island.
Most of us put the name of our boat on the bottom of our dish so we get it back. But some don't, so we have to stand up, hold the bowl or plate high above our head, and ask who it belongs to. These items are quickly claimed and passed from boat to boat to their owners.
Each dinghy also brings their preferred adult beverage – mixed drinks, wine, beer – we have it all. Talking, laughing, imbibing, nibbling, passing plates and bowls, the dinghy island floats through the harbor. One boat is self-designated as the pusher/puller – to guide us slightly this way and that so we avoid hitting any of the moored boats.
Like magic, we end up at the far side of the harbor just as the sun disappears.
We untie and wander back to our own boats. Such a lovely evening.
Sounds like a marvelous evening!

Contribution of Eat1 and other alcohol acyltransferases to ester production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Esters are essential for the flavor and aroma of fermented products, and are mainly produced by alcohol acyl transferases (AATs). A recently discovered AAT family named Eat (Ethanol acetyltransferase) contributes to ethyl acetate synthesis in yeast. However, its effect on the synthesis of other esters is unknown. In this study, the role of the Eat family in ester synthesis was compared to that of other Saccharomyces cerevisiae AATs (Atf1p, Atf2p, Eht1p, and Eeb1p) in silico and in vivo. A genomic study in a collection of industrial S. cerevisiae strains showed that variation of the primary sequence of the AATs did not correlate with ester production. Fifteen members of the EAT family from nine yeast species were overexpressed in S. cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1D and were able to increase the production of acetate and propanoate esters. The role of Eat1p was then studied in more detail in S. cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1D by deleting EAT1 in various combinations with other known S. cerevisiae AATs. Between 6 and 11 esters were produced under three cultivation conditions. Contrary to our expectations, a strain where all known AATs were disrupted could still produce, e.g., ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate. This study has expanded our understanding of ester synthesis in yeast but also showed that some unknown ester-producing mechanisms still exist.

N2 - Esters are essential for the flavor and aroma of fermented products, and are mainly produced by alcohol acyl transferases (AATs). A recently discovered AAT family named Eat (Ethanol acetyltransferase) contributes to ethyl acetate synthesis in yeast. However, its effect on the synthesis of other esters is unknown. In this study, the role of the Eat family in ester synthesis was compared to that of other Saccharomyces cerevisiae AATs (Atf1p, Atf2p, Eht1p, and Eeb1p) in silico and in vivo. A genomic study in a collection of industrial S. cerevisiae strains showed that variation of the primary sequence of the AATs did not correlate with ester production. Fifteen members of the EAT family from nine yeast species were overexpressed in S. cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1D and were able to increase the production of acetate and propanoate esters. The role of Eat1p was then studied in more detail in S. cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1D by deleting EAT1 in various combinations with other known S. cerevisiae AATs. Between 6 and 11 esters were produced under three cultivation conditions. Contrary to our expectations, a strain where all known AATs were disrupted could still produce, e.g., ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate. This study has expanded our understanding of ester synthesis in yeast but also showed that some unknown ester-producing mechanisms still exist.

People are afraid. I understand. Terrorist attacks in Paris and now in California make us feel vulnerable. So we feel like building walls between ourselves and people who are different from us. But is it possible that immigration, even from the Middle East, isn't something to be afraid of, but an opportunity? We have not yet gone out and brought the gospel to all people. So is God bringing the nations to us? In this season when we remember that Christ was born to bring us peace with God, may his peace grant us to not act on our fears but to open our hands and hearts to all people.
When is a prophet a prophet?
Whether it is Ellen G. White of the 7th-day Adventists, Mohammed of Islam or Thomas S. Monson of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, all of which their followers affirm to be prophets, how do you know when one claiming to be a prophet really is one?
Some will encourage us to search our feelings (Book of Mormon, Moroni 10:4) but that's Star Wars, never the Bible. Instead, God asks us to verify. Gideon in Judges chapter 6 laid out a fleece and asked that it be wet when the morning ground was dry, and then just to be sure, asked again that the fleece be dry when the ground was wet. King Hezekia in 2 Kings chapter 20, when assured by a prophet that he would recover from his illness, asked that the shadow on the sun dial move back ten steps, and it did.
For us today we have two tests of a prophet laid down in Deuteronomy chapters 13 & 18: (1) Does the prophet proclaim the same teachings as previous prophets of God and (2) if the prophet predicts a future event, does it happen? When Joseph Smith, in his First Vision, claimed to see the Father and the Son as separate Gods, he and others after him should have reflected on the words of Deuteronomy 6:4 that affirm one and only one God; a teaching often repeated. That should have been sufficient warning.
Instead Joseph Smith made thousands of changes to the Bible (and also to the Book of Mormon) to adjust their scriptures to fit their church's evolving theology. When Joseph Smith prophesied that they would sell the copyright to the Book of Mormon in Canada (and it didn't happen) his explanation was "Some prophecies are of man, some are of God and some are of the devil." Again, it should have been clear that there was a problem.
The same goes for churches today. Our foundation is to be the Bible and the Bible alone ("sola scriptura") since the Bible warns us (in 1 Corinthians 4:6) "not to go beyond what is written" (in Scripture).
Yes, I realize that people accuse those who believe in following scripture alone as looking to a "dead letter." They say we need to trust in the Spirit. On this eve of our commemoration of the Lutheran Reformation on October 31, 1517 (498 years ago) we might respond as Martin Luther did, that some have "swallowed the Holy Spirit feathers and all" but we will trust what God has written. The Bible is not a dead letter, but living and active and powerful. In works in human hearts. Amen. May we always "read, mark, and inwardly digest" the words of God's living word, the Bible.
People don't like to be labeled. But some labels are good. I once bought a can of generic peas. They were inexpensive and I figured that a pea was a pea. Right? Well they weren't the small crisp tasty peas that mother used to cook. No, these were big, wrinkled and tough. They may have been peas, technically, but I never bought generic peas again.
So labels can be good. This is especially true with religion. For example, if someone believes that Muhammed is a prophet, prays five times a day, believes the Quran (Koran) to be scripture, believes that he should make a pilgrimage to Mecca once in his lifetime (etc.), it seems fair to say that this person is a Muslim and not a Christian. If a person centers his spiritual life around the teachings of of Buddha, he is likely a Buddhist. If, on the other hand, a person believes that Jesus is God, that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three distinct Persons who are one essence/substance (one God), that Jesus died for the sins of the world and he is our source of salvation and heaven, it should be clear that we are speaking of a Christian. Authentic Christianity involves believing at least the most essential truths about who God is and how we get to heaven, according to the Bible.
The problem is that Muslims believe that everybody really ought to be a Muslim and Christians believe that everybody really ought to be a Christian. Muslims believe that Muhammed is the last and greatest prophet. Though they believe that Jesus was a prophet, they don't believe everything that the New Testament says about him. Especially, they don't believe that Jesus is God or that he is one of three Persons in the godhead. As the Quran says it, they don't believe that God has a son or that God is three. Instead, according to Muslims such beliefs are blasphemy and result in going to hell. We can look this up in the Quran, if you'd like. In the same way, Christians don't believe that Muhammed is a prophet or that the Quran is scripture.
You see, part of the function of a religious definition, is that it tells us what a person believes and it also tells us what a person doesn't believe. Being a member of one religion necessitates not being a member of another religion. There is nothing wrong with having strong convictions about what things we believe or don't believe. What is wrong, is deciding that it is ok to hate someone because of what they believe. It's not ok to hate anybody. Jesus said that we even ought to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. This is simply a matter of tolerance. Tolerance doesn't mean that we don't stand for anything. It means that even though we should take our beliefs seriously, we shouldn't hate anybody who believes differently. We should love everybody. And if there can be an atmosphere of mutual love and respect, we can talk about our differences and grow in our understanding of what we agree on and what we disagree on.
Muslims and Christians agree that there is one and only one God. (Christians don't believe that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three Gods. If someone says that they are a Christian and they believe in more than one God, then they are attempting to change the definition of what Christians have believed according to the Bible and throughout history.) Christians and Muslims also agree that God is merciful. The Quran says that many times, as does the BIble. We differ on how we receive that mercy. I recall, many years ago, a Sufi from Pakistan told me "God does not need a reason to be merciful. He has oceans of mercy." I then asked him if he knew for sure that he would go to heaven. He said, "No, you can never know if you have done enough." A Christian can know that he or she will go to heaven, because we believe that getting to heaven isn't a matter of what we do, but a matter of what Jesus Christ has already done for us and all people on the cross. On this, Muslims and Christians disagree. May those of the various world religions be able to disagree without being disagreeable.

Warriors hold off Rockets; Bucks reach last four with Celtic rout
Golden State Warriors' Klay Thompson (11) lays up a shot past Houston Rockets' James Harden during their NBA match. Associated Press
Golden State pulled out a 104-99 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday as the Warriors survived the loss of superstar Kevin Durant to grab a 3-2 lead in their second round NBA playoff series.
Draymond Green and Klay Thompson nailed clutch three pointers late in the fourth quarter for the Warriors but the buzz after the game was not about the win but rather the health of Durant.
The Warriors said he had suffered a right calf strain but Durant is expected to undergo an MRI scan to Thursday to determine the full extent of the damage. Warriors coach Steve Kerr sounded cautiously optimistic -- hoping for the best but also preparing for something worse if it does turn out to be more serious like a ruptured Achilles.
"We are all disappointed for him. Excited about the win but concern for Kevin. He had been on this incredible playoff run. I am proud of the guys and the way they pulled out this win and we will see about Kevin tomorrow," said Kerr.
Durant's injury occurred innocently enough after he hit a jumper from the right side with just over two minutes left in the third quarter.
He took a step forward then grimaced in pain and looked down at his lower right leg.
"He's done a lot for us. We got to have his back -- that is what tonight was about," said Warriors Stephen Curry.
Thompson finished with 27 points, Curry 25 and Durant 22 for the Warriors, who continued a run of home wins by the teams in the series.
James Harden was the game's leading scorer with 31 points for the Rockets, who were outshot by the Warriors from the field 46 percent to 42 per cent.
Elsewhere, Milwaukee became the first team to reach the NBA's final four as the top-seeded Bucks beat the visiting Boston Celtics with a 116-91 series-clinching victory.
The Bucks used balanced scoring and a stingy defense to eliminate the fourth-seeded Celtics in five games, avenging a seven-game first round loss to Boston last season.
"It's amazing. It was a team effort," said Antetokounmpo. "We did not mess around with the game. We did our job. We defended. We moved the ball. That's how we were able to close the game." The Celtics had reached the NBA semi-finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers each of the last two seasons.

The Double Cooler provides a five gallon container that is wrapped around a two gallon container. There are two faucets at the front where the user can tap from each container. The five gallon container is suitable for using a five gallon powder mix of beverage product with water (or your favorite mixed drink). The center container is filled with ice. The ice container cools the beverage without dilution. As the ice melts, it provides a chilled water option for the user through the faucet.
Their unique lid is designed for when you have beverage left in the five gallon container and some of the ice has melted in the two gallon container. You turn the lever on top of the lid to the drain position, tilt the cooler to either side, the water from the center container will drain out retaining any left over ice without the remaining beverage in the five gallon compartment draining out.

Q: How do I extend unix "ps -ef" command to see more info I need to grep process by information containing in CMD column, but this column strings is cut(limited)  and needed info is lost. Please suggest how can I enlarge string size allowed for CMD column.

A: Add the -w option twice to remove the width limit.

A: You can try grepping in the /proc directory:
$ grep -a foo /proc/[0-9]*/cmdline

The -a switch says to treat binary files as text files, since cmdline files are recognized as binary.  /proc/[0-9]* says to only look at the directories mapped to PIDs.  When you find a match, you can use that output to get the PID from the directory structure.

On Jan. 16, Allegany County Commissioners Michael W. McKay, Creade V. Brodie, Jr., and William R. Valentine and Frostburg State University President Jonathan Gibralter signed a memorandum of understanding establishing the Allegany County Opportunity Scholarship at FSU, benefiting students from Allegany County and funded by revenues to the county from the Rocky Gap Casino Resort.
The commissioners have designated 25 percent of the revenue the county receives to benefit Allegany County students attending FSU. The funds, paid quarterly, will establish a pass-through scholarship through the FSU Foundation, Inc. No less than 90 percent of those funds will be distributed to local students each year, with the remainder, if any, to be placed in an FSUF Allegany County Opportunity Scholarship Endowment Fund.
The first scholarships will be awarded during 2014. Full-time undergraduate and graduate students or those pursuing a professional certification program will be eligible. Recipients, who must have been Allegany County residents for at least three years, are expected to have a 3.0 grade point average to receive the scholarship and must demonstrate academic progress to remain eligible.
A similar scholarship has been established at Allegany College of Maryland.
Fewer than one in five Allegany County residents, 16.3 percent, has earned a bachelor's degree or higher. The county ranks 22 of 24 of Maryland's 23 counties and Baltimore City.
Of FSU's 5,474 total students (fall 2013), 738 undergraduate students and 183 graduate students are Allegany County residents.

Selena Gomez reveals her 'Zoom Face' essentials, self-care rituals and all her Rare Beauty favourites
By Dana Koh
Our cover superstar talks about how self-care can cultivate self-love ahead of Rare Beauty's launch on 15 July at Sephora Singapore
She has a face that has launched millions of websites—102,000,000, to be exact, if you Google "Selena Gomez beauty". But her quarter of a billion followers know that it's not just her looks that make her so well-loved. It's got much to do with the radiance she emanates no matter how hard life gets, her limitless talent and drive, and how vulnerable she allows herself to be, regularly opening up about her struggles, healing, boundaries and inner peace. Her commitment to self-love—and self-care—has educated and inspired countless people around the world to raise their vibrations and make themselves a priority too.
Embodying exactly that is Rare Beauty, her highly anticipated make-up line which arrives at Sephora Singapore on 15 July. Launched in the US last year, Rare Beauty is on a mission to reshape conversations around beauty—starting with breaking down toxic standards of perfection, and encouraging everyone to celebrate their own, unique features through self-acceptance, self-care and self-expression…with the help of her gorgeous products. From 48 shades of long-wearing Liquid Touch Brightening Foundation and Concealer, to the cushiony Lip Souffle Matte Lip Cream and lightweight Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, the brand zooms in on glow-boosting, colour-enhancing formulas to achieve a fresh, blooming face. There is also the Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner and Eyeshadow Palettes (named Confident Energy and Magnetic Spirit) for added definition and pops of colour, while the Positive Light Liquid Luminizer illuminates complexions with a dewy, buildable second-skin finish.
A post shared by Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez (@rarebeauty)
Here, in an exclusive Zoom interview with Vogue Singapore, we get Selena Gomez to share all about her 'Zoom Face' essentials, skincare must-haves, wellness rituals and how she thinks self-care can help cultivate self-love.
Would you say self-care can cultivate self-love?
Yes, I feel self-care is so important. Because when you take moments to care for yourself, like maybe taking a long bath or a hot shower, you get to relax. There are things you can read and spending some time outside in nature can make you appreciate life. I feel like that can turn into self-love. It's important to take care of yourself, and that isn't just physically—mind, body and soul too. This approach ties in well as far as the rituals I do.
How about skincare and make-up—what are your daily rituals for these? In the morning, I wash my face with a Lancer cleanser followed by my Creme de La Mer moisturiser. I try not to wear make-up at any point if I don't need to, because work requires me to always have lots on—even though it's fun. Sometimes, I'll go a few days without wearing make-up and that's something I consider a self-care ritual as well.
What's your best beauty hack?
Best beauty hack? I sometimes love wearing my lip balms on my cheeks too—I'm not saying that's what you should do, but you can. Today, I'm wearing my Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation, Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Happy, Discovery Eyeshadow Palette and Perfect Strokes Matte Liquid Liner.
What are some of your most cherished memories around beauty?
My mum had me when she was 16 so it was really interesting growing up. Sometimes I had to go to work with her, and I would sit in her office and do my homework for a few hours. She was a make-up artist so I just remember my mum playing with all these beautiful colours; they were bright and exciting. She was my inspiration growing up. So I think inside of me that little girl remembers my mum putting make-up on herself and on other people, and that's what I do now.
A post shared by Sephora Singapore (@sephorasg)
Rare Beauty is set apart in its mission to uplift its users. What do you want Rare Beauty fans to feel when using the products?
I want them to feel… I want them to feel known. I want my brand to be a place where whoever you are, whatever place in life you're at, I want it to be a place where people know that they're seen, they're heard, they're special and they're rare. And I think that's all I want people to feel.
Are you able to share more about your lessons and experiences around mental health, and how you personally overcome moments of anxiety, insecurity or self-doubt?
Yes, this is a huge part of what I do. I try my best to be an advocate for mental health. I myself deal with some mental health issues, so I have this deep understanding, and this strong yearning for people to talk about it more. It's something that isn't openly discussed enough, but it exists around the world. I know what those dark moments look like, and I want nothing more than to hopefully create a safe place for people—I wish I could just hug everyone and tell them how important they are. That would be amazing.
If there was a particular piece of advice you could share with your fans and our readers on the journey to healing, what would this be?
You are exactly where you're meant to be. Good or bad, you're getting through life, day by day. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just get up every day and know that you're worth something amazing.
We love the self-love revolution you, your music and Rare Beauty (and Rare Impact) are creating. What's next for Selena Gomez?
I have a new television show coming out this August on Hulu, and I'll be releasing more products with Rare Beauty soon. I'm also working on a cooking show right now—it's a lot of fun. And I'm in the studio too. I don't know, I'm just doing a lot of different things and it feels good.
You have five minutes to put together a 'Zoom' face ahead of some online calls, what do you use?
Boom, five minutes? Ok. Let's see—I would use my foundation, Brow Harmony Pencil in Ash Grey, and one of my blushes in Joy. I'd also use my Dewy Lip Balm in Empathy. That's all you need to get ready and fabulous in minutes.
What about you is rare? What do you most feel grateful for?
I feel grateful for the people who I surround myself with—I truly feel like they're always honest with me. My friends keep me grounded. I feel like sometimes my job is crazy and a lot of stuff happens at once, and that's not normal. So it's nice to come home and be with people who see me as Selena, and nothing else, you know? As for what makes me rare… Oh gosh. I think it's my laugh—I have a weird laugh that can get really loud and out of control when things get really funny.
Thank you for sharing your music, beauty and journey with us. In Asia, mental health is still such a stigma that no one really talks about, and it's inspiring how you're spreading your message and opening up to the world.
Thank you so much; I loved sharing my story with you and Vogue. That means the world to me and I wish I could be there in person. Hopefully soon!

USA falls to Czechia at Hlinka Gretzky Cup
In their second straight loss of the tournament, USA's record drops to 1-2.
By Kirsten Krull
RED DEER, Alberta — After falling to Finland on Monday, Team USA looked to bounce back to a winning record Wednesday afternoon against Czechia.
Things started off slow for both teams, with the game scoreless through the first period. However, just under two minutes into the second period, Jan Kucera would get Czechia on the board for the 1-0 lead. Four penalties would be taken between the two teams, but Czechia would hang on to the lead heading into the third.
At 4:07 Jan Sprynar of Czechia extended his country's lead to 2-0, but 58 seconds later Team USA answered as Tanner Adams found the back of the net. With 5:20 left to play, Czechia went on the penalty kill, but pulled the goalie while a man short and Jakub Dvorak made it 3-1.
Team USA falls to a 1-2 record as the preliminary round of the Hlinka Gretzky Cup comes to a close. The semifinals begin on Friday. Team USA will play Slovakia at 2:30 p.m. CST.
This article was updated to correc the game time of USA's Friday game.

While a lack of iodine may be the first thing that comes to mind when trying support healthy thyroid function, Ayurveda suggests two herbs for your thyroid – both of which support the healthy absorption of iodine into the thyroid.
According to the researchers, these findings suggest that ashwagandha root safely and effectively improves an individual's resistance towards stress and thereby improves self-assessed quality of life.
i have several nogales on my tyroid, and my test always comes out within range, i have every systom of typroid problems. i had a needle asparation it said non cancer, 4 yrs. ago, all these systoms that i am experiencing, and have been for 10yrs. can the doctor been missing it because the test comes out in normal range.
Hashimotos is becoming so widespread, it is almost an epidemic. I have this condition and feel great empathy for my fellow sufferers, unfortunately, the allopathic attitude is to throw T4 at the problem and utterly useless if conversion is poor. It would be just wonderful if mainstream medicine could embrace other methods ( TCM Ayurveda) but I guess it would not be in the interests of the pharmaceutical industries. Hashimotos is complex and the first place to look is in the gut. If only Dr Douillard was available to all of us, what a healthier world we would be in.
I have Hashimotos and have tried Ashwaghanda but it made me feel anxious and my chest heavy with heart palpitations. Later I found that nightshades were a problem for me and traced back how Ashwaghanda was in the nightshade family. Could that be the reason for my not doing well with it? I know it's such an amazing herb and would love to give it a try once again, any suggestions on potency and dosage for someone like me would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Tejal. Thanks for reaching out. I will be writing more articles about the thyroid soon, but yes both herbs can be taken for Hashimotos. Instead of Ashwaghanda we have a formula called Energico you may want to research: http://store.lifespa.com/energico.html Be well.
Do you think taking myrrh tincture has the same sort of effect as the guggul? I ask as they are both in the same family of burseracaea – also known as the myrrh family.
I had goitre a two or three years ago with the immune system attacking the thyroid and hyperactive thyroid gland levels but super low brain thyroid levels of thyroid chemicals. (So I certainly didn't become skinny.) I had lots of thyroid disease symptoms. I was told by the doc that it was an autoimmune problem.
I cut out antinutrients – lectins and phytic acid were the ones I was particularly concerned about once I found out about them and realized I'd been preparing grains, seeds, nuts, and pulses insufficiently, so therefore had lectins making holes in the gut, and probably sitting upon the thyroid and eliciting the autoimmune attack thereupon. I upped protein and probiotic cultured food too to aid gut repair, as well as continuing with the iodine on the skin.
Within a month the goitre had visibly shrunk, and continued to shrink thereafter and remains gone to this day.
I don't know about the chemistry though as I tend to avoid the docs.
From what I've experienced, Myrrh seems to work very similarly to guggul, but it's lighter and more bitter and drying in effect. This only applies to very pure myrrh compared to very pure guggul, though!
Good for you. Conventional doctors are dangerous. Stick with natural or Holistic DR's and you can't go wrong.
If i am a healthy person just trying to get rid of a few pounds, do you recomend ggugul lean?
Hi Samura, thanks for the comment. Traditionally guggul was used for detoxifying fats cells and supporting healthy thyroid function. Find out more here: https://lifespa.com/guggul-and-weight-loss-research/ With proper lifestyle shifts, guggul lean can offer a nice support for weight balance. Be well.
My daughter has Hashimoto and takes levothyroxine 75 mcg. Her TSH is low right around 2.0.
When she takes ashwagandha, she feels jittery and a "hyper" feeling inside. Do you have an idea as why she may experience it this way? Thank you for your answer and all that you do.
I am interested in the answer to this question as well.
My daughter has Hashimoto but her numbers are good at the moment with a TSH of around 2.0. She take levothyroxine 75 mcg (she is 26). When she took Ashwagandha, it made her "hyper"…jittery, internally…..Do you have a clue as why this may happen?
Would you recommend guggul & ashwagandha for someone with Hashimoto's who is taking levothyroxine?
Great question! I would love to hear the answer. I think there's an epidemic of Hashimotos!
Yes, I'd also like an answer as I have Hashimotos as well.
I am new to your website. I love the integration of Ayurvedic Medicine with nutritional and biological sciences. I wonder if in a future post you could speak to those of us who have had thyroid cancer and what to do about residual thyroid tissue. I had thyroid cancer in 1991, but 3/4 of my thyroid was left. I take synthroid to suppress it. About three years ago new nodules appeared and the overall health of the tissue was very poor based on biopsy I fought back with a concoction of green tea (or white or matcha), spinach, lemon, berries, broccoli sprouts and flax seed. 6 months later the tissue health was excellent and the nodules had shrunk 30%. In addition, I changed my diet toward greens, vegetable, fruits, berries and seeds and nuts with very little prepared food or meats. Most recently, my doctor told me all my cancer markers were no longer elevated. They energy I have on suppression is not the same as the energy I have from my natural thyroid and I am hungry for that energy again. Work, family,and projects of personal interest and commitment keep me going non stop everyday and I feel I have to push through despite my nutritionally rich diet. About a year ago I was unable to take my synthroid for about three days and my energy soared. Plus I have weight struggles despite walking/running 5 miles 4-5 days a week. Not fair! I wonder it I could compose a regimen that would allow me to go off the synthroid, but keep my thyroid healthy enough to prevent the cancer from returning.
Can I take these 2 supplements if I take levothyroxine sodium daily?
What about the Life Spa Iodine HP that I take 1x a week?
Well timed article! Super appreciative for the sign. I'll use some ashwagandha and kelp today. Thanks JD!

The Final Sickness, originally released in 1993, is another The Mover masterpiece and its ten tracks transmit a crunchy thick and cold tone. Edging to a rather industrial side of the techno spectrum, the PCP- spirit is carried throughout the release. Every piece plunges to the bottom of darkest depths without remorse, leaving no space for the mild-mannered music lover. An eerie blend of hefty, yet intellectual 909 beats and chewy analog synths unite this collection of gems.

Q: Why cant i load the image in picasso? The actual code is very simple like this but doesnt works!!
        File f = new File("file://E:/test.jpeg");

       Picasso.with(this).load(f).
            into(avatar);

A: File f = new File("file://E:/test.jpeg");

First, Android does not have drive letters, let alone an E: drive. That is not a valid filesystem path to any file on any Android device.
Second, the File constructor takes a filesystem path, not a Uri with a scheme (e.g., file://).

A: Its important to know that the file you are accessing has to be on your DEVICE and NOT from your computer. There is no such directory as a E: drive on phones.
You have a few options. Store the image online, and load it with Picasso (the easiest).
Picasso.with(getActivity())
            .load("http://www.image_url.com/image.png")
            .into(avatar);

Or, you can get the file path of an image, and then use that with picasso.
File file = new File("path-to-image/image.png")
Picasso.with(getActivity()).load(file).into(avatar);

How do you get the path-to-image of an image on your device?
You can follow this http://www.limbaniandroid.com/2014/03/how-to-get-absolute-path-when-select.html

Q: Need an OpenCL library that works under QEMU I am unsure to put it up, but I need an OpenCL library that can actually work under QEMU.
I have tried NVidia, and AMD but none of them seem to function there.
Does anyone have any idea?

A: Use the Intel's or AMD's libs, they both run on the CPU.


Amazon recently announced their new CloudFormation API. This allows you to create what they call "stacks," which will bring up and provision various AWS resources. You are able to configure security groups, EC2 instances, RDS instances, and elastic load balancers just to name a few. With this level of support and ease of declaration, it makes you wonder how much longer things like RightScale are going to last.
The other day I decided to partition out a tiny bit of my hard drive (10 GB) to install Windows XP. I figured it was good to have around to play games in my spare time. No big deal, the install went fine. Then I realized Windows likes to take over the MBR. Grub was no longer my default boot loader. So in order to boot back into Ubuntu I needed a live CD. Honestly, any live CD should work fine for this (try Ubuntu's if you don't have a preference).
This has been known for quite some time. Avahi is used service discovery like finding printers. It's similar to Mac OS X's Bonjour service. Unfortunately, when you have a .local domain (which I do) it seems to mess with things. For example, I cannot refer to anything in the .local TLD by name. So to fix it I've been just stopping the service.
This works but isn't a permanent solution. To fully remove Avahi from startup use the update-rc.d command.
So today Adobe AIR came out of beta for Linux. That is great news because I also came across the Pandora Desktop (currently in beta) in the same day. These two complement each other very well. It is great for removing that one Firefox window or tab that I always have open to Pandora. Click read more below to check out some screenshots.
CIFS VFS no response error? Simple fix.
So pretty much every time I reinstall I create auto-mounts in fstab for my Window's shares using smbfs. One problem that always happens is on shutdown or reboot those shares (using cifs) do not get umounted automatically. I always wind up Google searching and find the same post.

I've got an ASUS Eee PC 901/Linux with the solid state drive (SSD). I've been having issues with the /tmp dir and /var/log dir utilizing too much of my 4GB drive. So to fix this I came across this eeeuser.com thread which talks about moving those directories to RAM. The process is pretty straight forward and will increase the life of your SSD. Find out what I did below.
Well I recently decided to go ahead and upgrade to the latest version even though it is not a Long Term Support (LTS) version. The upgrade itself took me about 3 hours since my internet connection isn't that great and I ran in to a few problems once it booted into the new version.
So I've been using FF3.1b1 and have loved it. The speed improvements and cool new alt+tab style tab switcher have really been incredible. GMail has never loaded so quickly for me. The only thing I couldn't get working right away was Flash. So I dug around a bit and realized it was a matter of copying a file into the plugins folder of my beta installation.
Ah, this is something I've been meaning to address just haven't got around to it. Today I decided I'd look into fixing problems with dark themes and Firefox. Basically, if you're using a dark theme with Ubuntu 8.04 and Firefox 3 a lot of websites will show up with black or dark input boxes and black font inside those. Even some buttons will show up black with black font. This is a huge hassle when it comes to productivity.
I'd like to share with you what Ubuntu Linux can look like with some tweaking. This shows that Linux doesn't have to look so boring as many people assume.


I have been thinking about Dr. T.W. Hardison lately. He died on this date in 1957, and during the years since, many Arkansans have forgotten about this selfless country doctor who more than anyone else was responsible for Petit Jean Mountain becoming our first state park.
Thomas William Hardison was born in Columbia County on April 2, 1884, to Dr. William Harvey Hardison and Caroline Peavy Hardison. After briefly attending Hendrix College in Conway, Hardison enrolled in Memphis Hospital Medical College, where he studied for two years. He received his medical license in 1905 and began practicing in the small farming community of Tucker in Jefferson County.
Hardison had a large practice, serving the medical needs of 250 families who worked at the sawmill or at logging camps scattered through the forest. Dr. Hardison's services were provided free of charge to company employees and their families, an important service in an area without other trained physicians.
Hardison was not too busy to notice a young teacher at a country school on nearby Petit Jean Mountain, Julia Hutto. They were married in 1907, and had a son who became an engineer in California.
At that time lumber companies followed a "cut-out and get-out" philosophy, so in 1909 the Fort Smith Lumber Co. moved from the Adona area and Dr. Hardison set up a private practice on the southern edge of nearby Petit Jean Mountain.
Hardison had become familiar with the rugged beauty and wild nature of the mountain in 1907 when he accompanied lumber company executives on a scouting tour of the locale looking for new areas to log. While inspecting the Seven Hollows area, the lumbermen realized that logging the terrain would be prohibitive. Donald Higgins, the author of the entry on Hardison in the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture, quoted the doctor as saying: "While listening to the discussion, the idea occurred to me that the trees might as well be left to live out their lifespan unmolested by axe and saw, and the area converted into a park."
The mountain had a very small population, and land was inexpensive. Donald Higgins has described the area: "A relatively flat top gives Petit Jean elevations that vary from approximately 900 to 1,200 feet above mean sea level ... the mountain top stretches about 5.5 miles from east to west and 2.6 miles from north to south. Cedar Creek flows east to west practically down the center of the mountaintop, draining it and giving it a bowl-like quality. At Cedar Falls, the creek tumbles off a 70-foot precipice and meanders through Cedar Creek Canyon into the Petit Jean River to the west."
Among the more interesting and scenic areas of the mountain are a series of parallel canyons known as the Seven Hollows, which have waterfalls, a natural arch, and other geologic features. Fossils can be found at several locations.
One of the natural treasures of the mountain is a large shelter known as Rock House Cave, one of approximately 100 archeological sites on the mountain. Petit Jean has the largest concentration of aboriginal rock art in Arkansas. Donald Higgins credits Hardison's wife and son with finding rock art in a cave near their home in 1914.
Petit Jean State Park developed slowly, but it benefited greatly from the establishment of a Civilian Conservation Corps camp at the park in 1933. For five years the New Deal agency constructed roads, cabins, bridges, lakes, and trails. The most impressive CCC project at the park involved construction of Mather Lodge, a 24-room facility overlooking Cedar Creek Canyon named in honor of Stephen T. Mather, director at that time of the National Park System who had advised Hardison on creating the park.
Hardison, beloved by his rural patients, practiced medicine for 52 years prior to his death in 1957. Following his death, one of his patients recalled in a public letter that: "If we were sick, we came to Dr. Hardison, for he was our doctor and we depended on him. If there was an emergency of any sort, it was his phone that rang first ... We sought his guidance for we knew him to be a man of integrity who thought in terms of the common welfare."

The new sensor will enable continuous monitoring of basic health indicators
Biosensors measure the concentration of molecules in biological samples for medical, environmental and industrial applications. Ideally, they should provide continuous data in real time. However, continuous monitoring of small molecules at low concentrations is problematic. Researchers at the Technical University of Eindhoven have developed an innovative approach to the problem using molecular doubles. This may prove to be crucial in future biosensors for health monitoring and early disease detection. The results are published in the ACS Sensors journal.
Researchers from the departments of biomedical engineering and applied physics at the Technical University of Eindhoven have come up with a new approach to detecting molecules of interest with small masses. It is these molecules that are used to monitor the overall physical condition of a person.
Junhong Yang, Menno Prince and his colleagues demonstrate a new approach that can continuously measure the concentration of low-mass molecules of interest in samples based on biosensing by particle mobility (BPM).
Existing biosensors usually provide one measurement result for one biological sample. A sample may consist of blood, sweat, urine or saliva and the result may be protein, hormone, drug or virus levels in the sample.
However, it would be better if the sensors gave a continuous flow of data, which would allow the person to monitor how the disease develops over time.
Each biosensor consists of three main parts:
molecular component with a bioreceptor that can bind to the molecule of interest;
is a conversion principle that converts molecular recognition into a detectable signal;
a detection system that records a signal and provides a response in the form of a numeric, graphic, sound or light indication that is easy for the user to interpret.
"In this work, we focused on the first part, the development of a molecular principle for continuous measurement of molecules of interest with low molecular weight and low concentration," explains one of the authors of the development.
The sensor, developed by Jan, Prince and the team, adapted the use of molecular doubles or fake versions of molecules of interest.
How do these similar molecules help to detect real molecules? The surface of the sensor is covered with antibodies that can bind to the molecules of interest. When there are no molecules in the test fluid, similar molecules can bind freely to the antibodies. However, when the molecules of interest are found, they can bind to antibodies. As a result, the doppelgangers are freed from "work".
The work of the sensory platform is quite simple and, I must say, ingenious. All molecular binding events must be reversible. This includes binding between antibodies and twins, as well as binding between antibodies and molecules of interest in the solution.
There are repeated binding and decoupling events involving similar molecules or molecules of interest in a fluid and these events can be easily measured by optical microscopy by recording the state of the microparticle.

Police officer: 'I accused a detective of rape… then I was thrown to the wolves'
By Marion Scott
January 22, 2023, 1:36 pm Updated: January 23, 2023, 12:45 am
© PA Archive/Press Association Images
A Police Scotland officer who accused a colleague of rape claims she was failed by her force, we can reveal, after branding the investigation into her allegations incompetent and incomplete.
Investigators decided there was no evidence a crime had been committed after the accused officer, a detective trained to investigate crimes of sexual violence, allegedly raped and assaulted the woman in her sleep while they were in a relationship. She also accused him of tracking her movements and intimidating her in a pattern of coercive control but he was never charged and no report was sent to prosecutors.
The officer, who fears her police career is over, told friends: "Whatever they thought of me and whatever they thought of the evidence, this should have been a decision for prosecutors not the police. I feel like I have been thrown to the wolves."
'They said I was treated exactly like any other woman making such very serious allegations. That's what dismays me'
The national force had to "apologise unequivocally" after handing the contents of her mobile phone to the man she accused of raping her while five of her complaints about the conduct of the inquiry – including claims officers failed to note relevant evidence and did not understand legislation around coercive control – were upheld by watchdogs.
While the Crown was never told about the officer she accused, she has been reported for alleged offences over social media posts.
Meanwhile, after one interview, officers reported her to social work saying they were concerned for the welfare of her daughter despite a rape crisis counsellor who attended the interview saying she had seen nothing of concern, while social work admitted the police report was "unusual".
The concern of the alleged rape victim, who was based in Tayside and had specialist training in domestic abuse, can be revealed as police across the country come under renewed pressure over the vetting and investigation of officers suspected of crime or misconduct after Met constable David Carrick admitted he committed a series of sex attacks.
Karen Ingala Smith, whose Counting Dead Women project collates the names of women killed by men, said the cases of Carrick and the murder of Sarah Everard demanded improved vetting of police recruits and monitoring of officers. She said recent cases demanded immediate change. "At the very least there has to be psychological testing to screen out recruits or officers with unacceptable attitudes towards women and racial minorities.

Karen Ingala Smith
"That should be followed by a rolling programme of vetting, perhaps with officers being checked every five years."
Police Scotland strengthened its vetting procedures after Ms Everard, 33, was kidnapped, raped and killed by Wayne Couzens, a serving Metropolitan Police officer. The force also introduced an additional check for new recruits before they are sworn in, and will commence a rolling programme to check and renew vetting decisions over the coming year.
Last week, after Carrick's conviction, the Scots force confirmed it will also check all existing staff against UK-wide databases to further strengthen vetting procedures. It is also understood Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland will shortly begin a review of Police Scotland's organisational culture which will also look at vetting.
David Kennedy, of the Scottish Police Federation, said the new vetting will be the subject of consultation, but added: "We believe more robust vetting before an officer joins the force would be far more effective than current practices.
"Years ago, senior officers would visit a recruit's home and family to personally vet them and speak to their referees. That gave a far better idea of who an officer was than the current practice, done remotely, where referees are not even spoken to."
He said writing to referees is less likely to flag concerns and said vetting of new recruits should be more robust.
"We also believe there should be far more support for victims but all of these things require investment, at a time when we, and the public, are concerned about adequate funding for the force."
Women's organisations also called for better vetting. Sandy Brindley, of Rape Crisis Scotland, said: "Enhanced vetting of officers so that survivors can be confident the person they are reporting sexual violence to isn't themselves a perpetrator would be a positive step in this direction."
Pollice officer: 'We investigate the rape victim more than the offence itself'
Dr Marsha Scott, chief executive of Scottish Women's Aid, said: "When women are not safe at home, not safe on the street and can't be sure they're safe with the police, what do we do?
"The unfortunate answer is that there is no quick fix for a society that minimises and ignores very real threats to women's safety."
Deputy Chief Constable Fiona Taylor QPM said: "Police Scotland has already strengthened vetting measures, introducing an additional check for new recruits just before they are sworn into office and we will commence a rolling programme to review vetting decisions this year.
"We have recently invested in our vetting team and take relevant action where concerns emerge.
"Those who reject what we stand for don't belong in Police Scotland."

IRB oversight of research is an important concern for organizations affected by hurricanes and other disasters. In response to multiple inquiries, on 14 May 2018 the OHRP published a new guidance, "Effects of Disasters on Human Research Protections Programs Guidance" to inform the public on OHRP's general policy concerning this matter.
CITI Program's Disaster Planning for the Research Enterprise educates Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs), Institutional Biosafety Committees (IBCs), Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), Principal Investigators (PIs), and others responsible for research oversight on disaster planning and business continuity, which is required for organizations receiving NIH funding.


If you're looking for a relaxing, laid-back place to embrace the beauty of Texas Hill Country, Tow is just the place. From watching the sky change colors at sunrise while fishing on Lake Buchanan to watching the occasional visiting bald eagle, a stay in one of our Tow vacation rentals will be a unique experience you'll never forget.
This small town sits right on Lake Buchanan in Central Texas, about 80 miles northwest of Austin and 18 miles from Llano. While many travelers head further south to places like Granite Shoals and Horseshoe Bay for the blue water and sandy beaches, Tow is perfect for getting away from the big resorts and immersing yourself in a country town with a bayou feel.
No doubt, much of your time outside of your vacation rental will be spent enjoying Lake Buchanan. Head to Cedar Point Recreation Area to take advantage of the free boat launch and spend the day fishing, boating, or simply enjoying the 400 acres of shoreline. Don't have your own boat? No problem! Rent a kayak or boat from Sunset Boat Rental and paddle upriver to see incredible waterfalls from the flowing Colorado River.
After all that time playing outside, replenish hungry bellies at Papa D's Pizza and Subs or Rolling H Cafe. If you're looking for something a little fancier, visit the oldest winery in Hill Country, Fall Creek Vineyard, which features tours, tasting, and even picnic areas for sipping wine in the sunshine.
Take a break from water activities and drive just 27 miles from your Tow vacation rental to take a guided tour through Longhorn Caverns. It takes about an hour and a half to weave through the cavern while listening to all the interesting historical and geological facts the guide will share. Snap photos of the amazing Crystal City and let the kids gawk at the mysteriously-created Queen's Watch Dog carving.
Llano is a bigger city only 18 miles southwest of Tow where you will find fun attractions like Bluebonnet Trail, a stunning trail surrounded by colorful wildflowers, Cowboy Fudge and Candy Shop (the perfect spot to let the kids pick out a souvenir or treat), and Leonard Grenwelge County Park, home of the Llano Earth Arts Festival.
Try something new and let your inner fisherman out during a stay at one of our Tow vacation rentals.
