There were plenty of rough patches to get through in WWE in 2018 and a lot to be frustrated about. But now it's 2019, and every new year comes with promises of change and improvement.
In fact, with the current attitude of the McMahon family addressing that very issue, there are already plenty of interesting things cooking for 2019 that should be getting fans excited about what's to come.
Some are staples of every year, some are drastically different and fresh, while others are complete unknowns and the anticipation revolves around not having a clue what potential can be tapped into.
Whatever the case may be, here are 10 examples of what the WWE Universe should be hyped about for 2019.
NXT Talents on the Main Roster

The most immediate reason to get excited about 2019 is the addition of several NXT stars being brought up to the main roster.
WWE has been advertising EC3, Heavy Machinery, Lacey Evans, Lars Sullivan and Nikki Cross to be incorporated in some fashion on Raw and SmackDown, and they could be arriving as soon as next week.
Although we don't know how they'll be factored into plans, what feuds they'll start out with and how much of an investment WWE has in each individual star, the influx of new blood is always a shot of adrenaline to the roster.
Heavy Machinery isn't the most prolific tag team, but it's fun and can help boost the tag team division, which sorely needs more teams to pick from.
EC3 is a megastar in the waiting who could have been on the main roster years ago. Now that he has that chance, there's no telling how far he can go, and if all things work out, he could even be a world champion by the year's end.
Sullivan is a monster and will undoubtedly receive a big push right out of the gate for his size. It's always interesting to see someone tear through the roster like he will.
Evans is one of the most overlooked and underrated performers in NXT, as she has all the tools to carry her far in WWE. Expect the rocket to be strapped to her, as she's going places and will be stealing the show in no time.
Finally, Cross is about as good a definition of a breath of fresh air for the women's division as you can get. Her character is unlike any other woman on Raw or SmackDown, and she's proved she can be interesting as both a heel and a babyface.
There is always so much potential for NXT Superstars, and this crop of talent is in a great spot to make a big splash very soon.
One of the earliest gifts in the year for WWE fans is the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Not only is it the start of The Road to WrestleMania and a chance to see titles change hands in preparation for the big show, but it also features the titular Royal Rumble matches, which are many fans' favorite gimmicks of the year.
Last year, WWE finally implemented a Women's Royal Rumble, meaning we now get two major battles to settle who are the top contenders in the men's and women's divisions.
Double the fun is always a good thing, and even if the winners of those matches aren't what fans are hoping for, most people tend to agree the process of going through that hour is among the wildest rides of the year.
Whether you're into it for the surprise entrants, the shocking eliminations, the gauntlet of action or the major implications that come out of it, the Royal Rumble is a mainstay for a reason, as it just works.
Even if the rest of the year turns out poor, Royal Rumble always kicks things off with a bang.
The Road to WrestleMania and WrestleMania Week
After Royal Rumble, WWE shifts into another gear entirely with The Road to WrestleMania—arguably the best time of the year for wrestling fans.
This is when the company spends the most amount of money and attention on the product and really puts in the most effort.
Elimination Chamber matches are brutal. Both that card and Fastlane present the possibility for major changes to the WrestleMania build, so they can't be missed.
Then, the time comes and we're hit with WrestleMania Week, featuring all sorts of activities and events with a few standouts.
The Hall of Fame ceremony is a heartwarming look back on the stars of the past and a trip down memory lane that scratches our itch for nostalgia.
The Superstars of NXT always steal the show at TakeOver, and they set the tone for the main roster to try to top them at the biggest event of the year, WrestleMania.
But while that should be the end of things, it doesn't stop when that pay-per-view concludes, as the Raw and SmackDown to follow are usually two of the most important episodes of the year, too.
This is where returns happen, new talent makes their debut and the crowds are fired up with passionate intensity.
It's the time of year all wrestling fans seem to let go of the hate and embrace enjoying themselves above all else.
Brock Lesnar Should Eventually Lose the Universal Championship
Wouldn't it be nice to not have to see this anymore because the belt is on someone else?Credit: WWE.com
For nearly the entirety of 2017 and 2018, the Universal Championship was held hostage by Brock Lesnar, who only rarely ever showed up and, when he did, put on the same two-move five-minute match time after time.
Heading into 2019, he's once again the champion, but at some point in the year, that should change.
It may happen as soon as Royal Rumble, but even if Braun Strowman is not able to get the job done, there's WrestleMania on April 7 to fall back on as another chance to see him drop the title.
Who he loses it to almost doesn't matter, as pretty much anybody would be a step up to Raw not having a top champion to build around most of the year.
In particular, if it's someone like Seth Rollins, who had a great year of in-ring action for most of the past 12 months, it will be a massive upgrade, as he'll make sure the top Superstars on Raw are having great matches.
Roman Reigns may possibly return to dethrone Lesnar and finally get the pop he deserves from the crowd. Finn Balor could get back the title with which he never had a chance to have a run. Someone new like Elias could be crowned champion.
No matter who WWE chooses to be the next in line, it's unlikely it'll take all the way until 2020 for someone to beat Lesnar, as he's going to be focused on UFC at some point, which will divert his attention from WWE.
Whatever the case may be, The Beast Incarnate is going to lose sometime in 2019, and we'll all be free from his reign of terror.
The Return of Several Injured Stars
Over the course of 2019, we should see a bunch of Superstars who are currently on the inactive list make their returns to in-ring action.
Already, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are being advertised, suggesting they may be popping up soon and could even come back as early as the Royal Rumble, so if you're fond of them, watch out for their possible surprise entrances.
If Roman Reigns is able to recover from his leukemia treatments quickly enough to step back into the ring in 2019, he could finally have the love and support from the WWE Universe that has been sought after for so many years. Plus, that would be a great comeback just for a morality boost.
There's always a chance we could see the return of Matt Hardy or Jason Jordan, who would also be welcome surprises and something to smile about, but it doesn't stop at those names.
The Bludgeon Brothers have been out for many months with Harper's wrist injury and Rowan's torn biceps. Once they're ready to go, the tag team division will get a big boost.
If Triple H's torn pectoral heals up in time, his implied match against Batista at WrestleMania could still be on the schedule.
Fandango, Goldust, Sin Cara, Tye Dillinger and more should likely be coming back at some point in 2019, and their fans are all going to rejoice in that.
Fans should also cross their fingers for Tegan Nox to return healthy this year, as she was the unfortunate victim of bad luck in 2018 when she suffered her second leg injury far too soon after returning from her first setback.
She is a prime example of someone who hasn't begun to show the WWE Universe what she's capable of and could be a big player in NXT and NXT UK's women's divisions once she's able to gain momentum. Here's hoping 2019 is the year she gets that opportunity.
Superstar Shake-up
These are just four examples of some of the big changes to the roster from last year's Superstar Shake-up.Credit: WWE.com
If the current lineup of wrestlers has worn you out and you're tired of seeing the same pairings each and every week on Raw and SmackDown, we're not too far away from the Superstar Shake-up, wherein the rosters are shuffled around and people are swapped between the brands.
This is a monumental part of the year and something even the most dedicated fans can sometimes be guilty of forgetting about factoring into their hopes of 2019 because as bleak as things can be right now, they can flip on a dime come the Superstar Shake-up.
Leading up to it is fun for the speculation with everyone drafting their dream scenarios of who they'd like to see switched around. Then, once WWE makes the adjustments, a wide variety of new and exciting matches become possible to play out over the course of the year.
This also gives wrestlers an opportunity to make improvements to their positions on the roster. Many people tend to turn heel or face around this time, some are given pushes they've never received and others are finally a bigger fish in a smaller pond or on a brand that is better suited to their strengths.
There are inevitably people who get lost in the shuffle and some mistakes here and there, but the Superstar Shake-up is overall one of the best healing methods of the year and something fans should be eagerly anticipating.
Pretty Much Everything NXT and 205 Live Have to Offer
Raw and SmackDown are the flagship shows that hold WWE together, but there are so many cooks in the kitchen and often strange directives in place that get in the way of making them the best shows possible.
With 205 Live and NXT, though, everything comes off more streamlined and efficient as tools to showcase the talents of their rosters the best ways possible.
They're not as popular with casual viewers, but dedicated fans who tune in to those programs know that every week, they're getting some quality entertainment and virtually every segment will deliver.
It's arguable the 205 Live roster is the most athletically gifted bunch in WWE—something that is starting to get noticed now that Mustafa Ali is on SmackDown Live. There's rarely a bad match in the cruiserweight division with people like Buddy Murphy, TJP and Cedric Alexander at the helm.
Likewise, the go-to source for the most bang for your buck is NXT, especially when counting the TakeOver events, which frequently outshine the main roster shows with no contest.
There wasn't a bad TakeOver event last year, and the matches featuring Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Velveteen Dream, Aleister Black, The Undisputed Era and many others were just astounding, if not the very best action WWE had to offer.
Even if the main roster is as much of a dud as it was at times in 2018, fans can take comfort in knowing 205 Live and NXT—the two subordinate brands—will be consistently reliable for great entertainment for all of 2019.
Women's Tag Team Championship
Dressed as Santa Claus, Vince McMahon confirmed that at some point in 2019, a new set of tag team titles would be implemented for the women's division.
This has been buzzed about for quite some time, but this was the first actual confirmation of these plans being set in motion.
Right now, we don't have many details on how this is going to work, which in itself is already something interesting to track and get excited about.
Will there be belts for both Raw and SmackDown, or will one brand get ownership, or will there be traveling champions between the shows?
What will the process be to crown the new champions? Which women will be selected to take part in that?
Will new teams be formed, such as Lana and Naomi doing the Ravishing Glow idea they've spoken about?
There are so many intriguing elements to this story, and we haven't even seen the design of the belts!
SmackDown Live on Fox
With the big move to Fox in October, WWE will focus on boosting the credibility of SmackDown Live.
Even if it's just temporary, the blue brand must be given better treatment than it was this past year, especially given the circumstances of the blowout at Survivor Series.
WWE will want to make it a big deal for the initial launch to convince people the B-show isn't so much an afterthought anymore, as it will look bad on them to start off this new partnership with a stigma of being less than Monday Night Raw.
With all that extra attention and care comes a better roster after the Superstar Shake-up, more of an investment in promotion for SmackDown's feuds on pay-per-views to get people wanting to tune in to the television episodes and even potentially a third hour tacked on to drive home the point that it's equal to Raw.
It all may fizzle out in another year or so, as WWE has a tendency to get complacent and lazy once new concepts are accepted and the focus can shift to whatever the next fancy new project is, but at least 2019 should see a big upgrade to SmackDown.
Possibly More Power for Triple H
As the year goes on, the return of XFL with the 2020 season will draw closer, meaning Vince McMahon will have to dedicate more of his time to get that organization situated.
With his focus on that project, there is a chance he delegates more responsibility and Triple H, in particular, will end up taking on more of a role in charge of WWE's regular creative direction.
We've already seen signs of this with Triple H controlling NXT and 205 Live without too much of McMahon's influence, as well as an increase in The Game's presence both in a television authority figure capacity and in the media, while McMahon steps aside.
In the past few years, Triple H has gone from someone being groomed to take the reins to being the public face of the company even more so than McMahon, in many ways.
It's Triple H who sends out the congratulatory championship belts to winning sports teams. He and Stephanie are the ones discussing talent signings and the future of the company.
There's no doubt McMahon will always have creative control and will be the top of the food chain in WWE until he's no longer able to, but he's slowing down and allowing others to step in and fill the void.
The reason this is great news and something to look forward to is that the massive success of NXT and 205 Live under Triple H's management has proved that he's able to do the job well and tap into a mindset of viewers McMahon may not want to appeal to.
Fans of Triple H's creative style can anticipate more of that in the product as 2019 goes on, and we might finally see those big changes and improvements WWE is promising us for this year.

Overwatch Alliance helps our caregivers do what they do best: serve our military and their families.
Many of our warriors feel forgotten and hopeless. They admirably served their duties only to face very real and ongoing struggles back at home. We believe it is our turn to carry the burden, and we need your help.
Every day 22 veterans take their own life.
Nearly 1 million of our nation's veterans are jobless.
Nearly 300,000 members of our military have sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in the past 12 years.
An estimated 20% of service members will be affected by Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after a deployment.
4 million veterans—or 1 out of 5—are disabled.
More than 2 million American children have had a parent deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. At least 19,000 of those children have had a parent wounded in action. Over 2,200 of those children have experienced the pain of losing a parent in battle.
Many Americans assume the United States government takes care of service members' needs. While great strides have been made in supporting our soldiers, veterans and their families, there just aren't enough resources to go around.
That's why Overwatch Alliance is dedicated to working with small, community-based charities that are truly passionate about helping our military. These grassroots organizations log long hours on shoestring budgets—indeed, many volunteers pay for supplies, equipment and services out of their own pockets.
The brave men and women of our Armed Forces put their lives on the line because they believe in this country. They deserve more than our gratitude. Overwatch Alliance will soldier on until every solider, veteran and their family members get the help they need to heal.
"Our utmost thanks goes to Overwatch Alliance for their generous contribution to Canyon Heroes! Your grant makes it possible for Canyon Heroes to hopefully send 24 veterans, with a family member if the veteran so chooses, on a 7-day rafting trip down the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon this year.. We are excited about implementing this program and watching it grow over time, and we are encouraged by the positive results this program can effect for our veterans and their families. We have only one goal in mind: to make a difference for those who have given so much. Thank you again for your generous support."


Yes, I've gone over to the dark side. I got a juicer. For years I resisted getting one for a number of very good reasons. Juices are too cold energetically; juices can be calorie dense; juices don't give you any dietary fiber. I've had to treat a lot of problems caused by excessive juicing and juice fasts. Juicing aficionados have always tended to present an almost religious devotion to the process. Finally everyone has always said that juicers are hard to clean.
But it is summer so I threw caution to the wind and went for it. Keeping with the season it was a purely emotional decision. Juicing it makes the body light.
89.99 and a short trip to Brooklyn later and I was set up with my very own Jack Lalanne delux model and a 10 pound bag of organic carrots. Carrots support the Spleen/Stomach, literally and metaphorically rooting you. Some people categorize them as neutral some as slightly warm so their nature balances the rawness which would be considered a little hard on the digestive process. From a standard nutritional perspective, carrots are a powerhouse of nutrients: alpha and beta-carrotine, vitamins A, B1, B2 C, E, calcium, potassium, phytochemicals, trace minerals and glutathione. There's even a World Carrot Museum. More nutrients in carrots are available if juiced or cooked due to a tough cell structure. So if you're eating them raw as a snack chew well! Carrots have about 30 calories each making your typical 5 carrot glass around 150 calories. Yes, carrots are sweet so don't drink gallons of the stuff. A bit of carrot juice, however can stave of an attack of the Reeses Pieces. Some people even find that a carrot juice can replace that afternoon cup of coffee (not that I'm criticizing coffee). Ginger carrot juice is a good combination since the ginger is warming for the stomach and helps with digestion. Cucumber is also a good addition if you want to make your juice less sweet (though it will dull the intense color :( ).
Carrots detoxify and transform accumulations. Carrots can help you lighten up - an anti-gravity agent I'm not so sure, but yes, carrot juice can help you get rid of stuff. So don't worry, get the juicer you'll figure out where to put it. (You're closets won't know what hit them.) Oh and the Lalanne juicer - it's easy to clean.

RECAP: Lip Service - Season 2, Episode 2. a.k.a. WHAT THE F JUST HAPPENED?!
Hey all.
Sorry for the disappointing introduction, but I'm still in shock because of this damn TV show. Ugh. Check below the cut because this recap will (obviously) contain spoilers and I know some of you non-UK watchers may not have seen it yet...
I hope you all had Kleenex at the ready for this.
The episode, in the beginning, was all fine and dandy - sex, booze, bits of humour from the ever-amazing Tess... It was just standard Lip Service, as you'd expect.
It's Cat's (Laura Fraser) birthday, Tess (Fiona Button) continues to (unsuccessfully) flirt with newbie Lexy (Anna Skellern)... About that, she just ended things with Fin? What?
Look, she's not impressed either:
Anyway, then we get a visit from shady Sadie, who we find out later is living in her car, Nora continues to be a massive bitch to my girl Tess and Lexy continues to crush on Sam (Heather Peace). Can I just clarify: TESS AND LEXY NEED TO BE TOGETHER AND NOT TESS AND SAM. BYE SAM. BYE.
Cut to adulterous Cat, who has brought Frankie (Ruta Gedmintas) the ultimate present: herself in a corset. Yep, seems like she didn't spend much money on this 'gift' but she does 'let' Frankie watch her masturbate. Hot.
(Source | Afterellen)
In a moment of peace, Franky gives her a rather more expensive bracelet with their initials inscribed on the inside (so no one will see) and then chaos resumes: Tess catches Cat kissing Frankie as she leaves to meet her actual girlfriend. Or maybe she's going to work. Whatever, it's not important.
Sadie arrives just as Frankie convinces THAT ADORABLE GIRL, TESS, not to tell anyone and the pair of them head off to a photo shoot.
Now, here's when you're going to need your tissues, handkerchief, bucket to vomit in (which I very nearly needed). Frankie sends Cat a reassuring text that Tess won't tell anyone what she saw and that she loves her. Aww. But it's all very bittersweet...
BECAUSE A MOTHER F*CKING CAR COMES FLYING OUT OF NOWHERE AND KILLS CAT THERE AND THEN.
YOU WHAT, LIP SERVICE?! YOU. F*CKING. WHAT?!
And just when she's wheeled into the hospital (sexy Lexy attempts to rescue her) and you think "oh, she's a main character. She won't die in episode 2!", Cat is pronounced dead.
(Note my expert paint photoshop skills).
That's right, apparently Laura Fraser has "other acting commitments". HOW DARE SHE?
Doesn't end there though: Frankie's too busy rolling in the mud (literally) with Sadie in the middle of nowhere that she breaks her phone and no one can tell her what's happened.
*cry*
Sam, Tess and Cat's brother, Ed, come running, but it's all too late. They didn't even get to say goodbye.
AT LEAST ALICE GOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO DANA, DAMN IT! (I'm still not over that, either.)
Of course, Sam tries to be all gallant and get her own back on the dude who hit her girlfriend, but she's a huge p*ssy at heart and backs off.
*skips boring parts to Cat's funeral*
Oh, here's Jay, who's been the invisible man up until now.
Lip Service can never have a single scene without drama, though - thank God it's not called "Funeral Service" - because Frankie storms out making a scene as soon as it's Sam's turn to talk. And, classic Frankie, she goes to get off her rocker on whiskey.
Weepy Frankie (after being rejected by her Mother) goes to Cat's grave and again, rolls around in mud. I'm surprised her apartment doesn't have a fitted mud bath. Seems she likes it more than the average lesbian.
Aaaaaaand if things weren't bad enough, Sam finds a piece of wood with Frankie & Cat's initials carved into it among Cat's things. She's confused. Serves you right for being nosy. (HA! I apologise, I'm not a fan of Sam as you may have noticed. Unpopular opinion.)
To end the show, Frankie reverts to her old way and bangs Sadie. I know you promised Cat you wouldn't sleep with anyone when she was ALIVE, but Frankie, ISN'T THIS A BIT SOON?!
Oh well, once a whore always a whore, in this case.
Honestly, I could have vomited when that car hit. And I know a lot of you were in tears for a good 40 minutes of the episode.
I know, I know. There, there.
We'll get over it.
We won't.

Νο. No we won't. Not even us who did not like Cat.

so so true. i am still reeling from how the car wacked her sideways!! poor poor sam

This is the second time in two years that Laura Fraser's character has been killed by a car. The first time was in "A Single Father".
I just watched the episode (on Iplayer as I was on hols last week).
Well I will get over it, mostly because as a Poly, I was sick to death of that bloody love triangle storyline and I wanted it ended.
Cat's dead? Sorted! Bit of a shock tho......

OMG I loved that show :( remember how shocked I was ..I am secretly wishing new season :) but I am not big fan of Lexy and Sam and according to everything they will be star characters if they make new season!

Readers react: Man caught destroying Redditch's Christmas tree
Readers react: Man caught destroying Redditch Christmas tree
RUINED: The man caught in the act. Photo from Spotted:Redditch
THERE has been a strong reaction to news that thousands of pounds worth of damage has been caused to Redditch's Christmas tree.
The Advertiser recently reported that photos shared online show a young man climbing up the tree - breaking parts off as he goes - being cheered on by onlookers.
Hundreds of people have shared the image, and commented with many admonishing the man.
Commenting on the Advertiser Facebook page many have called for the youths to be named and shamed.
Nana June said: "Some idiots just spoil it for everyone. Hope they are caught."
Ann Hawkins said: "Name and shame the hooligans plus their families. Print their addresses."
David Barry James said: "Bloody disgusting name and shame when caught and a hefty fine plus a spell behind bars for all of them."
Donna Sherriff said: "Not just the man they should all be arrested!"
Police in Redditch have confirmed that they are investigating.
A spokesman said: "Officers received a report from a member of the public that a young man was seen climbing the Christmas tree at the Kingfisher Centre around 4.30am on the morning of December 28. As a result of his activity considerable damage was caused to the tree and officers are investigating and working to identify the offender."
Anyone who recognises the people in the picture is being urged to call police on 101 quoting 0094S of 28 DECEMBER 2019.


What can we say but "HooRay" as in SolarRay! Finally, after being introduced almost 2 years ago, the New Mexico Legislature adopts a clean energy legislative agenda. The Solar Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) Exemption was established through the passing of House Bill 996 by Representative Mimi Stewart and was later incorporated into Senate Bill 463, pages 55-56. The Solar GRT exemption will be effective on July 1, 2007.
(3) a non-vented trombe wall, and all equipment necessary for the installation and operation of the trombe wall.
The Solar Energy System Components and Materials (SESCM) list, developed by the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD), provides guidance for vendors, contractors, the citizenry of New Mexico and other entities interested in taking advantage of the exemption from GRT for the sale and installation of a solar energy system.
The SESCM list provides guidance in determining the components and materials included in a solar energy system, eligible for the GRT exemption. The list is not comprehensive or static, but is a "living" list of components and materials. Vendors, contractors, citizenry of New Mexico, and other entities will have the opportunity of providing feedback and recommendations.
Equipment necessary for the sale and installation of a solar energy system includes an essential machine, mechanism or tool, or a component or fitting used directly and exclusively in the solar energy system, and includes replacement of some part of the system, or similar change to the system that would qualify as an adjustment for federal income tax purposes as established under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Additionally, equipment is limited to components and systems related to storage and collection of solar energy. A solar energy system does not include components or systems related to the uses of the energy.
Our New Mexico customers will need to fill out the form Solar Energy Systems Tax Deduction form, RPD-41341, getting some information from us, signing it and returning it to us before we can not charge you sales tax. Our out of state customers don't have to do any of this anyways!

Ms. Bieler said her team is closely working with country offices to ensure collaborative effort for the realization of the organization's commitment for the inclusion of disabled children in all of UNICEF's programs and activities.
The organization has an internal policy that all structures to be financed by the organization in the more than 100 countries where it operates must include access features. UNICEF is also working to ensure that one percent of all resources used for travel among UNICEF management and staff, is earmarked for promoting access.
Ms. Bieler assured RI that UNICEF continues to work for the realization of its core commitment to children with disabilities.

Both Maine's House and Senate have overturned Governor Paul LePage's veto of the state's medical marijuana law.
With a vote of 118-23 in the House of Representatives and 25-8 in the Senate, Maine's legislators have finally overturned Governor Paul LePage's veto of the state's medical marijuana law.
Maine's medical marijuana bill, known as L.D. 1539, eliminates the specific list of medical conditions that qualify a patient for the use of medicinal cannabis. Instead, physicians will be able to recommend medical marijuana for any patient they believe will benefit.
When the bill becomes law within 90 days, it will allow the issuance of permits for six more medical cannabis dispensaries and adds manufacturing and processing facilities to the program. It also authorizes the expansion of caregivers' businesses while subjecting them to tighter state and local control.
Caregivers may cultivate up to 30 mature plants and 60 immature plants for qualifying patients, who may possess up to eight pounds, or 3.63 kilograms, of harvested marijuana.
Republican Rep. Deborah Sanderson, the bill's sponsor, told High Times that overriding the veto was the right thing to do. She noted that the legislature had made a deliberate and thorough review of existing law.
The override of the governor's veto also pleased Maine's cannabis industry.
Amanda Melnick, a consultant representing caregivers, praised the legislature's action.
Once the bill is fully implemented, the state's estimated 41,858 patients will be able to shop at any one of the 14 licensed dispensaries.


Beauty Ideals: An Emerging Global Norm?
With our third workshop on the homogenisation and globalisation of beauty norms taking place next week, our project lead, Heather Widdows, considers whether beauty ideals constitute an emerging global norm.
In advance of our 3rd Beauty Demands workshop, doctoral researcher Adina Covaci considers the homogenisation and globalisation of beauty norms and discusses the idea that the process which underlies the spread of these norms constitutes a form of propaganda.
Is it still the case that there are significant cultural differences in dominant beauty norms and ideals or are beauty norms becoming increasingly homogenised and global? If so what are the drivers of this? Is it a westernised norm? Are there key ethical, legal or practices issues which arise in this context?
As I see it, the first question doesn't contain an exclusive disjunction, so I think it can be said that, at the same time, there still are some cultural differences in beauty norms across the world, but that these standards are indeed becoming increasingly globalised. However, I don't know if I would call these differences "significant" though, as the concept in itself is a little vague.


Im in the process of upgrading my gaming pc which is about 6 years old to a modern gaming pc. Im considering the Core i7-8086K.
This processor list memory type as DDR4-2666. I want to get the fastest memory that i can take advantage of. Does that mean its pointless to go above 2666?
Im looking at the ASUS ROG Maximus X Code LGA 1151 (300 Series) mobo and it supports memory speeds upto 4133 but it seems unlikley that I could take advantage of that.
latency is probably more important that speeds alone to some extent if I recall correct. I found on the asus QVL F4-3200C14Q-32GTZR its 4x 8gb 3200 with CAS of 14.
3200 C14 is right where you should be, so that kit would be perfect.

QUESTION: What about bad weather? ANSWER: We come rain, shine, temps below freezing or over 100 degrees — we are climate controlled! As long as it is safe for us to drive.
QUESTION: What time should I make the party? ANSWER: We suggest that you tell your guests that the party is one hour or half-hour before our arrival time — that way they eat first and they all see the grand arrival of our mobile video game theater!
QUESTION: What time will you arrive? ANSWER: We will arrive approximately 20 minutes prior in order to set-up and rest assured, our door will be open for your guests by the start of your party time!
QUESTION: What if too many people show up to the party? Is there an extra charge? ANSWER: There will be no extra charge but be aware that 28 guests can play inside at one time…but with our stadium seating and outside TV's there's room for everybody!
QUESTION: Do I request certain games? ANSWER: No need. We always bring the full game library to every event and your Game Coach will listen to, make suggestions and evaluate your needs to make your event successful.

QUESTION: What type of fundraising can Gaming Fanatics Video Game Truck do? ANSWER: We can set up tournament-style or general-style gaming to help raise money for an event or simply to just have fun with a large group of people. Tournament Style: If you have a large event with many people, and you want us to keep them entertained or help you raise money, we have experience in this area. We can set our trailer up to rotate players (16 at a time) in tournament style for 7 minute intervals. It's great fun, because the winner stays in the trailer, and as each new group comes in, they try to "unseat the champ!" The entire crowd feels as if they're playing in one big game against each other and we've had great success with this "big event" format. Don't worry about the size of your group. We will keep them enjoying the fun, and if they are buying tickets to benefit your cause, they typically jump out to buy more tickets to "keep on playing!" Where else can you have 16 people all playing in the same game against each other, and against the entire crowd? Great fun for all ages, and the Game Coach stays present to tutor and/or inspire. General Style: We can set up our trailer with up to 5 different games at once, and allow 20 people to rotate through our trailer at a time. Each time a guest enters, they must have a ticket sold by your or your organization to help raise money. Example: Tickets are sold for $2/each. We can rotate 20 players in at once for 10 minute intervals. 20 players X $2/player = $40 every 10 minutes. We generally can rotate 5 groups per hour for a total of $200/hour in funds for your organization! A 4-hour event could raise up to $800 with $2 ticket cost. You set the price of the ticket…and watch the results add up!
QUESTION: Where can I view your official policies? ANSWER: You can view them here.

Rogue Report – Start Your Engines
By Jonathon Loucks / December 14, 2009 October 11, 2019
Sixty card decks feel so much bigger after a long season of Limited. Not only are they heavy with the weight of twenty extra cards, but the gravity of ideas soaked in your own blood, sweat, and tears. The deck you present that first round of the PTQ is the last man standing, the final gladiator to make it through your fierce gauntlet. It's been inspected top to bottom, every advantage coddled and every flaw ridiculed. It is in this deck that you place your hopes and dreams. It is through this deck you'll see the world, pay for college, land the job, get the girl. The deck has become an extension of yourself; when it fails, you fail, but when it succeeds it's there to share the glory. Time is short. Choose wisely.
January 2nd is the day of the first Extended PTQ of the season, and it's less than three weeks away. Luckily Christmas break is perfectly timed to allow me to test without sacrificing school. I'll be in Montana for a week with little to distract me from Magic, assuming I'll have somebody to test with over the Internet. Last season Zaiem and I spend the whole break playing Martyr of Sands, and it paid off in by far my most successful season yet. I made Top 8 of the first PTQ of the season, landed in my first Grand Prix of the season, and eventually qualified for the Pro Tour. Sure, I qualified playing something other than Martyr of Sands, the deck I spent all season testing, but it was only because of my experience with the format that winning was even possible.
I'm looking to continue my success in the first PTQ of the season (starting with Mishra back in Time Spiral Block) but this time I intend to turn that Top 8 into a win. Heck, I'm going to turn that Grand Prix day two into a win. (As Flores would tell you, overshoot.) Last season I got a taste, and this season I want the whole hamburger. I can't expect to succeed by doing the exact same thing I did last year, which means I've got to start testing earlier and more often.
While the PTQ is fast approaching, we've still got a little flex time in our deck choice. We have time to try different paths, and if that page is a dead end we've still got time to turn back. Last season I wouldn't let myself play the best deck, Wizards/Faeries, because I knew I couldn't play it as well as the people I would likely play the mirror match against in Top 8, and I didn't want to put the time in to learn the deck. This season, however, I'm determined not to keep myself from playing the best deck for the tournament. If that deck ends up being Tezzeret, so be it. Luckily, with a lot of help from Zaiem, I've gotten most of the deck together on Magic Online. I've been playing the deck when I have a spare moment, and while a lot of my opponents in the tournament practice room aren't top notch, I'm just trying to get familiar with the deck. Then, if nothing else seems promising, I can settle on Tezzeret a week before the tournament and really learn how to play it. Also, somebody has got to play Tezzeret while testing, and it helps if that person kind of knows what they are doing.
On the other hand, let's brew! A healthy Extended is probably my favorite Constructed format because there are so many possibilities. This season we've got Tezzeret as the control deck, Zoo as the aggro deck, and a mass of combo decks like Hypergenesis, Dredge, and Dark Depths. Then there are decks like All-In Red and Bant keeping everybody honest. Decks are tending to be very linear or very well rounded, either hoping to succeed through exceptional power or adaptability.
I enjoy looking back through old Standard formats and trying to find forgotten strategies that might attack Extended in a new way. Sometimes decks that were powerful enough to succeed in Standard can use that same power in Extended (like Affinity) or they find just the right tool to make themselves powerful enough (like Riptide Laboratory.) Let's hop in the time machine and see what the past has to offer.
I'm always worried about being the second-best deck when it comes to doing X. For example, why be the second best deck at using your graveyard if people are already hating out Dredge? If you're not using the graveyard better than they are, then it probably isn't worth it. Similarly, why use cool lands like Urza's Tower when people are already playing Ghost Quarter for Dark Depths?
That's why I was initially scared to try Krark-Clan Ironworks because Affinity seemed to be using artifacts better. You don't want to battle your way through Kataki, War's Wage with the second best artifact deck! However, Affinity has barely made an impact on the current Extended metagame, which I'm pretty happy about. I remember fantasizing about the new Extended format, the one without sac lands, and in our minds Affinity was going to be popular. I don't know if it was the removal of stacked damage or what, but Affinity isn't doing anything impressive anymore.
If Kataki is leaving people's sideboards then maybe KCI is worth looking at. Here's the list Manuel Bevand used to Top 8 Worlds back in 2004:
Lands2 x Ancient Den4 x Darksteel Citadel4 x Great Furnace4 x Seat of the Synod3 x Tree of Tales2 x Vault of Whispers
Spells4 x Chrome Mox4 x Condescend3 x Fabricate1 x Fireball1 x Goblin Charbelcher4 x Krark-Clan Ironworks4 x Myr Incubator4 x Pentad Prism3 x Serum Visions3 x Talisman of Dominance3 x Talisman of Progress3 x Thirst for Knowledge4 x Thoughtcast
This is one of the decks that live close to my heart, so I try to play it every chance I get. It's never worked for me since the one States, but there are a few reasons I think it has a decent shot this time around. As I mentioned before, hopefully Kataki will stay absent long enough for KCI to make a run for the title. Also, with the introduction of Open the Vaults in M10, I feel like the deck has a much better late game. It looks like people are still going to be packing Ancient Grudge against Tezzeret, so it's not like artifacts are completely safe, but Ancient Grudge isn't nearly as devastating against this deck as it was against Affinity. KCI doesn't really care about specific permanents as much, just the number of permanents. With Open the Vaults the deck can easily recover from artifact destruction with one spell, it just has to live to cast it.
As for win condition, Myr Incubator is still good, but it probably isn't enough in a format of Engineered Explosives. Luckily the Thopter Foundry and Sword of the Meek combo fits right into the deck, which also works to give you infinite mana, life, and 1/1s with KCI in play. The deck could go full-on combo and try to race that way, but I think there's also a version that is a little more controlling, coming out to look a bit like Tezzeret, using cards like Engineered Explosives and Academy Ruins, and who knows, maybe even Tezzeret himself.
The other second-best deck that was predicted to succeed early in the format was the Urzatron deck, probably UW. It experienced some success last season, but never really took off. So what went wrong this season? Dark Depths happened and practically every deck is playing Ghost Quarter somewhere. There was, however, a different Urzaland deck that succeeded back in Standard, and that was Gabriel Nassif's Martyr of Sands deck that earned him a Top 8 slot in 2006. I'm not confidant that Urza lands are safe, but I love Martyr of Sands, so it's likely that I'll try something like this out.
Rock, Paper, Tooth
The last deck I want to bring up is Tooth and Nail. It was very successful back in the day, and the format doesn't seem to be very counterspell heavy. It's still a nine mana sorcery, but we can't let that stop us. I've actually been entertaining the idea of some weird Hypergenesis-Tooth and Nail hybrid, allowing us to hardcast more Tooth and Nails just to put two creatures into play. I'm not sure that deck does anything better than Hypergenesis, but it's a thought.
What I'm worried about is that Tooth and Nail was largely successful because it was the best green deck, and green had the best hate suite against Affiniy. Without matchups like that to feast on, can Tooth and Nail succeed? Can the deck ever be fast enough to beat Zoo? Is it worth spending nine mana when they just have Path to Exile?
I keep going back to Zac Hill's deck from Pro Tour: Valencia, dubbed Rock and Nail. It's not so much a combo deck with Tooth and Nail as a Rock deck that uses Tooth and Nail. Looking around the current Extended, I don't see a Rock deck, which I don't think has ever happened. Somebody always plays the Rock, right? People will tell you why you shouldn't play the Rock, and the Rock is rarely dominating or overpowered, but it's always there. Is this season pulling the Rock deck in too many directions? Or have we just not tried hard enough yet?
I don't know if Rock and Nail is the way to go, but I am interesting in checking out some deck that uses Doran and Thoughtsieze. I just want to try the Rock strategy to prove to myself why it isn't working. The thing is, can you ever surprise a tournament with The Rock? It's like trying to surprise somebody with, I don't know, a Rock or something. Surprise! Tarmogoyf bet you didn't see that one coming. Loxodon Hierarch – Kapow! They'll never know what hit them.
Good luck in your own Extended adventures – I'd love to hear about any cool decks floating around. I'm planning on doing very little except Magic for the next three weeks, though the seven day free trial of World of Warcraft has created an itch that is hard to scratch any other way. The drive to get on the Pro Tour is fierce, so I should be safe from Azeroth's grip, at least for the next three weeks. Wish me luck.

A good wedding cookie should have a rich, but subtle flavor. The dusting of powdered sugar should give them a delicate rather than overwhelming sweetness. You should be able to taste the nuts with a hint of lemon and the texture needs to be crunchy but moist.
We adapted our wedding cookie recipe which is already a bit unusual because it uses pecans rather than almonds. The pecan is an American nut and one which we fell hard for when we moved to the States. Pecans a bit more oily than almonds and that gives our wedding cookies extra tenderness.
Getting the right texture proved the toughest challenge when creating our gluten-free recipe. We make a proprietary blend of gluten-free flours which includes rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, and white sorghum flour. Each cookie has a different personality, so we must alter the quantity of the blend used in each recipe.
Perfecting the texture for our gluten-free Wedding Cookies took a lot of adjustments to the flour and moisture. After a good bit of experimentation, we believe that we've hit upon a recipe that is so good that you won't be able to tell that they are anything other than a traditional Italian wedding cookie. We're now taking orders for our gluten-free wedding cookies and would love to hear what you think.
As always we're taking suggestions for new Italian cookie flavors you'd like. Just drop us a line or join the discussion on our Facebook page!
To learn more about how we approach creating gluten-free Italian cookies, check out our blog post on Gluten-free cookies: how we make them taste so good.

We run together, athletics and friendship party at Fiamme Gialle
Queenie Bell May 25, 2022
Ostia – It happened yesterday, at the headquarters The Sports Center of Guardia di Finanza in Castelporzianothe second edition of the athletics meeting "We Run Together", organized by Fiam Giali in collaboration with Atlética Vaticana and Vidal Lazio.
Throughout the afternoon, after and highlighting what happened last year, the athletics track at Fiamme Gialle was not the scene of excellent technical results, but "challenges" based on friendship, brotherhood and integration, with sport as a means of positive contagion and convergence of people from the most diverse social backgrounds .
In this regard, a telegram from the Holy See received this morning: "The Pope sends his heartfelt greetings to the organizers, athletes and all those who will participate in the "Run Together" athletics meeting, and he hopes that the important event will be a management opportunity to offer serenity and hope to people with disabilities and to illustrate how commitment to sports helps to overcome over the difficulties that seem insurmountable. The Holy Father assures his prayers that this event will encourage mutual cooperation between different people and peoples, and enhance the value of hospitality that overcomes all marginalization. With these sentiments, His Holiness sends all the desired apostolic blessing. "
Under the eyes of the Tokyo Paralympic champion Amber Sabatinithe godmother of the event, and the new seasonal world record holder in the triple jump, the Cuban Andy Diaztrained in Castelporziano before Fabrizio DonatoFulcrum, commissions, deported schools and athletics schools, along with Fiamme Gialle's youth division of the local youth movement, go to the field. Then came the turn of the world of schools, with the relay of the institutes and later the Lazio Grand Prix of the Guardia di Finanza, with representatives from the regional leadership and the five regional leaderships of Lazio at the start.
See also A teqball game with Di Maria, Pogba and Alex Sandro
accompanied by a performance Guardia di Finanza, which revived the various moments of the event with its decorations, the competitions continued with the succession of embassies to the Holy See, with the personal initiation, and in some cases also the ambassadors themselves, the embassies of the United States and Belgium, the Republic of China (Taiwan), Australia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey, Italy, the Federation European, Malaysia and Iraq, who competed with representatives of the S. Marta dispensary and the immigrant centers of S. Egidio and Astalli. Like last year, the meeting ended with friendship substitutions, which really focused on a diverse and precious audience of heroes: from the prisons of Rebebbia and Villitri, to the Paralympic teams of the Special Olympics, from the relay races of the Roman organizers (Appia Run, Roma Ostia, Rome Marathon), To the Professors, from representatives of the Red Cross and USSI, to the "institutional" teams of the municipality of X and the government team, in ceremonial and with great affection for the many participants.
Then the afternoon celebration ended with Celebrating the Divine Liturgywhich was followed by a joyful sober moment among all involved.

Sure, you're probably clearing the eleventh ton of snow off your car this week.
And yeah, you've forgotten the feeling of sun on your skin and the luxury of maintaining control of your car on the road. But before you turn to the singular thrill of grand theft snowmobile to pull you out of your winter doldrums, maybe just... don't.
We only say this because as it turns out, Minnesota leads the nation for snowmobile thefts. And according to data released last week by the National Insurance Crime Bureau, it's a big lead. More than 300 snowmobiles were stolen in Minnesota between 2015 and 2017, presumably by people who just couldn't take one more minute of punishment and decided to glide into the Arctic sunset and leave their lives behind.
Those 300 thefts represented about 20 percent of all snowmobile thefts in the country during that time period. Michigan, the runner-up, lagged behind us by more than 100. We now know that Minnesotans are the most likely to reach out and grasp a pair of handlebars that don't belong to them, then whisper "it's time," before sailing off into the snowy abyss.
We also know, due to the highly specific nature of the Bureau's data on snowmobiles, stealing, and stealing snowmobiles, that our sleds were most often stolen on Saturdays (predictably between late November and early March). The top five counties in the state where these kinds of thefts take place are Anoka, St. Louis, Hennepin, Pine, or Crow Wing County, and the most common mark was one of those little numbers from Polaris -- a "hometown" company. Not a lot of folks lustfully eyeing other people's Yamahas, it seems.
The bad news, is less than half of all stolen snowmobiles between 2015 and 2017 were ever recovered. The likelihood of recovery goes down the longer the snowmobile has been missing. Frank Scafidi, spokesperson for the Bureau, told MPR News it's because snowmobiles, unlike cars, are not regularly used, and therefore their absences often go unnoticed.

A severe earthquake causing heavy human loss and destructions happened in Pakistan on October 8, 2005. Covering over half of the country, the natural disaster left heavy destructions in Islamabad, Lahore, in particular in the Town of Muzaffarabad.
Town of Muzaffarabad is 162 km away from Islamabad, Pakistan. The earthquake rendered a school in the territory of Rara, Muzaffarabad quite useless. Children were obliged to take lessons in tents and outdoor because of dangerous conditions in classrooms.
The school building constructed on the initiative of Mrs Mehriban Aliyeva, President of Heydar Aliyev Foundation, Goodwill Ambassador of UNESCO and ISESCO, MP, replaced the school rendered unsuitable by strong earthquake of October 2005 with a new one.
Built for short time as part of the project totaling 750,000 USD, the school owns 10 special classrooms, laboratories, subject cabinets, library, computer room and sports ground meeting the modern standards. Total area of the school is about 2000 sq.m.
Located in a difficult mountainous relief, the school has been supplied with equipment admitting a high-level education. The school will be attended by more than 500 pupils. Heydar Aliyev Foundation has supplied the school with visual aids, also publications about Azerbaijan.
The new school building constructed in Pakistan by Heydar Aliyev Foundation, which attaches a special importance to the development of education, is the first educational center the Foundation built in a foreign country in the framework of "Support to Education" Project.


We have created a Communication Site on Sharepoint Online Modern Pages.
We have created 2 other Communication Sites and added the News Web Part to this.
These news links are external links to an external website.
ON the homepage we added 2 News Webparts and edited each of these webparts to source the news from the above communication sites.
For example if we click on a link on Company News, the Company News site opens and then the news link of the external site opens on the same tab. This was never the case in the last 3 weeks since we started this project. All the news links opened in a new tab.

Snoring may seem like an annoying inconvenience, but often it's more than that. Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, a condition that causes your breathing to stop intermittently while you sleep. As a result, you can experience severe fatigue and a host of serious medical issues. The condition is common, with an estimated 18 million suffering from it. Millions of children are also afflicted but their apnea often goes undiagnosed.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea. Obstructive apnea is caused by a blocked airway during sleep. Often this is caused when tissue in the back of the throat collapses and stops you from breathing properly.
Central sleep apnea stems from the brain's failure to tell the muscles to breathe, causing your breathing to start and stop while you are asleep.
You may have sleep apnea if you snore loudly, wake up with a dry mouth and/or sore throat, have a morning headache, experience insomnia and are extremely sleepy during the day. You may also abruptly awake and then be short of breath. Others may notice that you stop breathing for short periods during the night.
Anyone can develop sleep apnea, including young children. You are at a greater risk of developing this condition if you are overweight, male, over 40, and have large tonsils or sinus problems. Simply having a large neck increases your risk as does having gastroesophageal reflux.
Sleep apnea can lead to stroke, heart attack, diabetes, depression and high blood pressure. Sleep apnea can cause life-threatening conditions, so you need to seek treatment if you suspect that you have the condition.
Sleep apnea can be treated in a number of ways. Oral appliances work for many and are much less intrusive than other remedies. Your dentist can fit you with a customized appliance to wear while you sleep. They move your lower jaw forward in order to keep your airway open and keep the soft tissue from collapsing and obstructing your breathing.
These appliances are comfortable, portable, and easy to maintain. Some patients may need a positive airway pressure device such as a CPAP machine that provides pressurized air through a mask during the night. If you suspect that you have sleep apnea, make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible.

Sting On How Bad His Tag Team Was With Ultimate Warrior

Sting and the Ultimate Warrior started out their pro wrestling careers as a tag team. A lot of fans know this, but they might not realize just how awful that team was.
While speaking to AEW Unrestricted, Sting went into the early days of his pro wrestling journey. He spoke about getting paired up with the Ultimate Warrior and how Jerry Jarrett gave them a call; and their first real opportunity in the pro wrestling world.
Despite wanting to get the hang of things, it just wasn't working out. Sting said his team with Warrior was so bad that Jarrett let them go about three months after convincing them to make a drive across the country from California to Nashville.
"It was short-lived. We tagged for maybe 12 months or so. 3 months with Jerry Jarrett. We were so bad. I had separated my shoulder and Jerry Jarrett said, 'you guys gotta wrap it up.' Jim [Warrior] was out in the ring doing something because he wasn't injured, I was injured. I'm in the back and Jerry said, 'I gotta finish you up,' and I'm like 'finish us up, what does that mean?' He said, 'I gotta let you go, but I'm gonna place you guys with Bill Watts' UWF.'"
"So, we went to the UWF and wrestled there for 9 months or so. Then he [Warrior] split off and went to World Class, became the Dingo Warrior and then in WWE where he became the Ultimate Warrior and all that. I ended up in WCW."
Sting and Ultimate Warrior split up after that, and the rest is history. They also both ended up in the WWE Hall of Fame, but not as a tag team. There is a reason for that, because they were not a good team.
Sting didn't have anything negative to say about The Ultimate Warrior, but they were certainly there during a time when each of them were just figuring things out.

Current Plan For 2021 WWE Hall Of Fame
WWE Pulls Pat McAfee From NXT Television


The previous Unofficially Yours review post is gaining a remarkable number of readers since it was posted. Thus, here's another take on the same movie by a different writer.
Impact on human emotion is one of the elements when one writes a cinema review. Critics usually base their judgment on how great or lousy a movie is by exacting what emotions the movie had provoked. In the case of Unofficially Yours, there are two kinds of emotions that this writer felt after watching the movie, the movie feels wanting and confused.
Unofficially Yours is the latest offering from Star Cinema which is known for producing glossy movies. Most cinema reviews from this production always declare trite and cliché story lines. It is very refreshing when a movie like Unofficially Yours is produced. The movie deals with a theme that is happening but no one wants to discuss about it. Initially, one will take note of the semblance in some of Hollywood movies like Friends with Benefits or Love and Other Drugs. But there are differences, for one culture plays a part on how the characters developed, particularly in the case of Ces (played by Angel Locsin).
The story of Unofficially Yours starts with a one night stand between Mackie (portrayed by John Lloyd Cruz) and Ces in a beach resort. Never would they suspect that they will eventually meet again and this time they have a relationship as newspaper employees. They got to work side by side as the story calls for Ces to mentor him on the ins and outs of journalism, of course not on writing cinema reviews as Angel's character is a lifestyle editor in the movie. Naturally, fires were ignited and they continue what they started. However, the conflict starts to develop when Mackie realized that he is falling in love with Ces. There lies the problem, as Ces is not just into the commitment thing because of previous love trauma.
This is where the feeling of confusion starts to set in. Just like most Filipinos, Mackie and Ces adapt western behavior yet tend to cling on traditional values. While the dialogues of the movie are not cheesy, however, the lines uttered are not quite convincing. Some lines work because it focuses on the fun aspect of the relationship. What the movie needs are lines that will really convince movie goers why Ces and Mackie really hit it off. While watching this movie, the Miriam Quiambao fiasco in a Miss Universe pageant question and portion years ago came into this writer's mind. The similarity lies in the fact Filipinas want to project a modern and liberated image yet they cannot say the right thing to prove they are one.
Moviegoers did not notice this confusion flaw as they are covered by the usual glossiness of Star Cinema movies. It has good chemistry of the leading actors, handled by a competent director, fast pace editing; and that's just it. Other Unofficially Yours review posts will totally agree with this writer in proclaiming that the movie's lack of depth is hidden by offering a glossy production. Thus, serious cinema review professionals will naturally be turned off in this area. As a whole, Unofficially Yours is entertaining but definitely it won't make to annual best movie list.
Hmm.. you're the first who said so. I love 500 Days of Summer, I'm wondering about the similarity between these films?


Nothing says breakfast better than gluten-free pancakes loaded with delicious apples and fresh ground cinnamon. These gluten-free apple cinnamon pancakes are fluffy, filling, and simple to make.
Fall is approaching fast and apples are starting to fall from the tree. I love the months of August and September – some of my favorite seasonal fruits and veggies ripen during these months, including apples. We just loaded up on gala's and the first thing I did was make gluten-free apple cinnamon pancakes.
If you love fall and pancakes, then you'll want to check out my Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes after you make these apple cinnamon pancakes. They're also simple to make and quite scrumptious. If you are a waffle person, I have the perfect gluten-free waffle recipe for you.
Making gluten-free apple cinnamon pancakes is super simple. They are similar to regular pancakes, but with the addition of shredded apples and cinnamon.
I like to add a pinch of cinnamon to my regular pancakes too, but these pancakes are loaded with cinnamon. The cinnamon compliments the apples and provides a delicious fall breakfast.
Up until about a year ago we made pancakes on the stove top, in a pan. My husband bought me an electric griddle for Christmas last year. It might be my favorite kitchen gadget.
I should have purchased a griddle years ago. I didn't realize how easy it was to make pancakes with a griddle. I can make 6-8 pancakes at a time – getting them to the table faster.
My griddle is non-stick, and doesn't require any oil, so cleanup is easy. I like to make 2-3 batches of pancakes at a time, and freeze the leftovers for the kiddos. They pull a couple of pancakes out of the freezer, reheat, and enjoy. Pancakes make a filling and quick breakfast.
Did you make these gluten-free apple cinnamon pancakes? Please let me know what you thought.
These gluten-free apple cinnamon pancakes are fluffy, filling, and simple to make.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup and oil.
Preheat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto griddle. Spread into a circle if needed.
Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottom is golden brown. Flip and continue to cook until both sides are brown and the center is cooked through.
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, and in the freezer for up to a month.
As soon as I saw this post, it just looked like Fall! Can't wait to try it.
I'd love a griddle also! What a great recipe! Sounds so refreshing and tasty! My kids love pancakes.
I love apple cinnamon pancakes! Honestly, pancakes are one of those things I just forget about. I really need to make weekends more relaxing by preparing breakfasts like this.
I love the combination of apples and cinnamon and these pancakes look delicioius!
Yum I love a good pancake!!
Excellent receipe. First time we made it exactly as recipe. Second time substitute 1 cup of buckwheat flour.

A new alcohol-free spirit is set to hit the market in time for Dry January.
Caleño is designed to "infuse the sunny spirit of South America" with a "zesty and tropical non-alcoholic spirit", according to its founder, Ellie Webb, who hails from Columbia.
The drink has been created to provide an alternative to its alcoholic counterparts but also to fight the "age-old stereo-type that not drinking is boring", according to Webb.
Caleño's first variant is Juniper & Inca Berry, which is a tropical infusion of juniper, citrus and spice botanicals, steam-distilled in stainless steel drums. The key ingredient is the South American Inca berry, which is sweet and with flavours of pineapple, mango and citrus fruit.
Caleño is available to buy online via its website www.calenodrinks.com for £24.99 and it will be available in major supermarkets from March.
It will be officially launched at The Mindful Drinking Festival on January 12 and 13.


No lead is safe with the Wizards and tonight proved it.
Washington raced out to a 25-point second quarter lead on to blow the lead in the third quarter but retake control in the second half for a 116-106 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Bradley Beal led the Wizards in scoring with 26 points as six Washington players scored in double-figures tonight. Mike Scott continued his hot streak with 24 points off the bench on 11-15 shooting from the field.
Washington led 58-33 in the second quarter and it looked like it would be smooth sailing for the Wizards. But New Orleans ended the quarter on a 22-3 run to cut the deficit to six, 61-55 at halftime.
After tying the game at 61, it was Washington's turn to go on a run. After six early points in the third frame from New Orleans, the Wizards outscored the Pelicans 32-9 to take control of the game.
Hope you're wearing your seat belt.
Washington gets back in the win column with an up-and-down performance over the Pelicans.
Beal scored just four points in the first half. And with a slow start to the third quarter, it looked like Beal would be in for a long night. Lo and behold, Bradley Beal rolled his ankle when he stepped on E'Twaun Moore's foot in the third quarter and that seemed to get him going.
BEAL'S ANKLE LOOKS GOOD TO US.
Beal hit three-pointers on back-to-back possessions to give Washington a 91-68 lead late in the third quarter as he ended the period with 14 points. Brad stayed aggressive in the fourth quarter both attacking the rim and knocking down his three-point attempts.
Brad played a key part in Washington's run to blow this game open in the second half.
After three ho-hum games from Wall, he finally turned in a solid performance in his fourth game back from injury. Wall ended the night with 18 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds but most importantly, looked like he had his speed back.
Wall has been hesitant in the first few games back from injury but that wasn't the case tonight. Wall's shot was falling early as he scored 14 points including going 3-4 from three-point range before the first quarter was over.
Wall's production slowed down over the course of the game but that's to be expected of a guy returning from a knee injury.
This was John Wall's first game back from injury where he logged double-digit assists including this nifty no-look pass.
John Wall with the no-look alley-oop to Gortat. Just sick.
I sound like a broken record but once again, Mike Scott was rolling. This time to the tune of 24 points on 11-15 shooting and a mind-boggling 9-10 on two-point field goal attempts.
Scott came in and was instant offense connecting on his first six field goals tonight. Once again, Scott provided the punch off the bench that the Wizards needed to stretch their first half-lead and second-half lead.
Don't look now but yet again; Scott played more minutes than Markieff Morris 23-20.
Marcin Gortat notched his eighth double-double of the season with 10 points and 14 rebounds.
Ian Mahinmi dished out a career-high five assists.
Washington turned 16 New Orleans turnovers into 25 points.
Up Next: Washington heads to Brooklyn looking to exact revenge for a loss just one week ago.

Western news application from WeChat for inspiration
Some famous news application of North America are learnt from the experiences of WeChat recently. Kik, Tango, Snapchat and Facebook Messenger began to become more like WeChat.
WeChat function is relatively complete, you can use the WeChat purchase ticket, take a taxi, or reading the news, and this function is a western information application had no.
Now, they are followed by WeChat strategy. Tango last month to add the function of shopping, the user can be viewed on the shopping tag page wal-mart and alibaba global speed sell tong goods. Kik let brands for message interaction with users, users can also play games in the application. Snapchat increased the news column, and Discover in November last year to restore the function of payment.
Facebook stepped in to action. Facebook developers conference in March, introduced a Messenger platform, this platform allows developers to add Messenger function to the other applications, at the same time, Facebook is still in the test for the function of the users and businesses communicate directly. Information web site also reported that Facebook could also add gaming capabilities to Messenger.
Send and receive information developers are building seems to be the next big platform. Message application takes up a lot of time, people just WhatsApp send information article 30 billion every day. If people are already using this kind of application information with friends, why not let them use these applications do they want to do other things? Such as games and shopping.
This shift is quite similar with WeChat, Kik and Tango not afraid to admit that they got inspiration from WeChat.
Tango zhi-chao zhang, vice President of product (Chi - Chao Chang) said: "I guess that's like WeChat to achieve the size and number of users, WeChat's amazing influence in China. When we mention WeChat, we seldom use it as a competitor, we find it much more for us to guide the direction."
Kik, chief executive of Ted Livingston (Livingston) in November last year to write an article called "Become a western WeChat competition" (The Race to Become The WeChat of The West) blog article expounds The subject, he used a word to summarize Kik goal: "we want to be The western WeChat."
Why, then, to imitate WeChat is very important for these companies?
First of all, WeChat herald a message application development direction in the future. Unlike Kik and Tango, Facebook openly imitation of other products. At present, the Messenger allows users to send the application GIF images and stickers, but Facebook spokesman hinted that will soon have more features.
A Facebook spokesman told the Re/code website: "we launched Messenger platform, and open to all developers, one reason is that we want to see how you can use this platform to develop the product. Then, we'll consider it feasible plans next."
Another important factor is whether this strategy really works. It is obvious that people like to use a mobile phone to send information, but they will use the same application to do other things?
Kik or Tango whether can put the information platform into a successful business platform, we don't know. WeChat held a dominant position in China, but is defeated in North America, maybe this is a reason for that.
Livingston, chief executive of Kik discovereth the main challenges they faced is how to compete with SMS. "Text message () in the United States is free and useful, is the data package to be bundled with me." Livingston also believe that SMS is the biggest rival Kik, quality and service is much more than Kik.
In other parts of the world, the message will be charged extra. But in the United States, the text is included in the phone package. If people think of using the message from the start application is meaningless, and then add more functionality to message application becomes unnecessary.
Before trying to launch more service such as shopping, Kik focus is to help the brand and users communicate with each other. This approach seems to be very popular. Facebook is let users for message interaction with retailers, chief financial officer David weiner (David Wehner) said this week that Facebook's another message application WhatsApp is likely to launch similar services.
This is the core part of the new strategy. Add shopping button to application seems like a good idea, but want to do this business for a long time, you must have enough to deal with business users.
Livingston said: "our ultimate goal is to WeChat has done in China. If no one is using your message application, you have nothing."


Our lifeblood; we make the complex simple.
Our heart passionately beats for internet hosting.
We do things well, even when no one is looking.
We are real, honest and friendly.
We take responsibility; you can count on us.

Australia's Barrier Reef to get Google treatment
Australian scientists mapping the Great Barrier Reef will broadcast their findings in partnership with Google, emulating its "Street View" to spotlight the impact of climate change.
The University of Queensland's Seaview Survey will use custom-designed cameras and diving robots to plumb never-before-seen depths of the reef off Australia's northeast coast.
It is a scientific expedition with an everyman twist, according to chief scientist for the project, Ove Hoegh-Guldberg.
A special four-lensed camera, which can be held by a scuba diver swimming through and over the corals, will capture a "rapid visual census" of life forms at 20 sites along the entire 2,300-kilometre (1,400-mile) length of the reef.
An estimated 50,000 panoramas, shot in 360-degree high-definition, will then be uploaded to Google's Panoramio site for use on Google Maps and Google Earth.
The result will be a kind of undersea version of its "Street View" function, which allows web users to access street scenes around the world.
"By using some really nifty digital technology to create 360-degree imagery we're essentially able to allow people to slip into the Great Barrier Reef and go for a dive as if they were coming with us," Hoegh-Guldberg told AFP.
The expedition, which will officially depart in September, will also have a dedicated YouTube channel documenting its progress in real-time.
Hoegh-Guldberg said its primary focus would be recording the reef for later comparisons to measure the effects of climate change, as well as mapping depths unreachable by scuba divers, about which very little is known.
In particular, he said the project team was interested in how deep reefs -- between 30 and 100 metres (100-330 feet) below sea level -- were triggered to spawn, or reproduce.
Shallow reef spawning was triggered by the moon and it would be a "phenomenal discovery" if deep reefs were also found to follow the moonlight, which would likely be very dim at such depths, he added.
Another team, led by Emmy award-winning cinematographer and shark researcher Richard Fitzpatrick, will track the reef's "charismatic megafauna" such as rays, turtles and tiger-sharks, and migratory changes due to ocean warming.
A six-day trial of some of the robots in a deep-reef environment at the end of last year had already revealed four new coral species for Australian records and a new breed of pygmy seahorse.
The reef is the biggest in the world, comprising more than 3,000 individual reef systems and hundreds of tropical islands. It is home to 1,500 fish species and 30 types of whale, dolphin and porpoise.
Hoegh-Guldberg said the project was an exciting combination of "real science" and popular culture, adding that he hoped it would increase public awareness of the oceans and their vulnerability to climate change.
"Oceans are undergoing major change, be that our polar seas, our kelp forests, our coral reefs and so on," he said.
The Great Barrier Reef was just the first part in what was intended to be a global project, mapping coral reefs in the world's massive oceans.
"After all it's 71 percent of the Earth's surface, it's the major habitat on the planet, we really are terrestrial organisms on a watery planet," said Hoegh-Guldberg.
Bringing people from all over the globe a first-hand experience of the reef via Google and YouTube would hopefully jog their conscience about the issue, Hoegh-Guldberg added.
"It's really important that we develop a methodology where we can bring the Earth's citizens down into the oceans so that they really do understand what's at stake and understand both the challenges and the solutions," he said.
