In Pieces – Chapter 9
Ashleigh and Joey approached the Fleet Centre that night earlier than usual. After taking a shower and making sure her hair, clothes and makeup looked perfect, Ashleigh had whisked Joey out of the hotel room. For a concert that started at seven, they were much earlier than needed.
It was four o'clock.
"This is stupid, Ash." Joey commented as the girls walked around the empty concert venue. "You think they're just going to let us walk in on their rehearsal?" She asked, pondering for the 50th time that afternoon why she had let Ashleigh talk her into this.
"Of course not." Ashleigh replied, looking at Joey as if she were insane. "We're going to wait for the scalpers so we can have first dibs!" She said, as if it were obvious.
Joey glared at Ashleigh. If waiting for Nick Carter to come sweep her off her feet had been a crazy idea, this was even more excessive. Did Ashleigh even have any idea how much those tickets were going to cost them? She didn't have money like that!
Ashleigh just grinned over at her friend. If she could manage to get into the front row, surely Nick would recognize her. If he recognized her then he would surely have questions for her. She could picture it now…
"Why did you leave my room so quickly?" Nick would ask her, sweat dripping from his brow.
Ashleigh would giggle, as she twirled a piece of her hair. "I needed to know that you wanted me for more than one night." She would say, a pout lingering on her lips.
Nick would pull her into his arms and give her a deep kiss. They wouldn't be able to keep their hands off each other. "I want you forever." He would reply, his breathing heavy, his hands shaking. He would kiss her again, this time softer, with more emotion than the last time.
She would run her hands through his hair, not caring that it was sopping wet. "I love you, Nick." She would whisper.
"I love you too Ashleigh." He would reply, before kissing her again…
"Ashleigh!" Joey snapped, bringing Ashleigh back from her fantasy.
"Huh?" She asked, still breath taken by her thoughts of Nick. How long had they been sitting there for?
"People are starting to crowd around outside." Joey said, pointing to the growing entourage of Backstreet Boys fans. "We should get out of here before they kick us out." She advised, and Ashleigh nodded.
Once the exited the building,, Ashleigh noticed a couple of men. They were obviously selling tickets. Or, attempting to. No one was really paying much attention to them.
"Just a sec, Joe." Ashleigh said, walking over to them.
Before Joey could protest, Ashleigh was already gone.
"Good Lord." Joey muttered to herself. She'd known ever since they were 14 that Ashleigh had had a crush on Nick Carter. But this was really starting to push it…
Joey perked up as Ashleigh went walking past her at a quick pace. "Ash! What are you doing?" She asked, following her friend.
"Going to the ATM." Ashleigh said simply. She didn't slow down at all until she stopped in front of the bank machine. Once there, she fumbled around in her purse until she pulled out her credit card.
Before she could put it into the machine, Joey snatched the card out of her friend's hand. "You're insane." She said.
Ashleigh rolled her eyes. "It'll be worth it when I'm married to Nick Carter." She replied, taking back her card and proceeding to withdraw money from the machine.
Joey didn't even bother to refute that comment, as she knew there was no use. "You know taking cash out from your credit card is probably the worst thing you can do, right? They start charging interest on that right away!" She exclaimed, not believing what Ashleigh was doing.
However, Ashleigh just ignored Joey and continued to walk back towards the scalpers. "As long as we get on the floor Joe. That's all I care about." She said with a grin on her face.
Joey clapped her hands over her face. Ashleigh obviously didn't realize how irrational she was being. "I don't even want to know how much you paid for those." She muttered, as the two of them walked back into the now crowded arena.
Ashleigh giggled, waving the tickets in front of her friends face. "Second fucking row." She said, her voice giddy.
Joey cracked a small smile. "That is pretty cool." She said, starting to get just a little bit excited. Ashleigh had most certainly run herself into debt, but they may as well have fun while it lasted.
Ashleigh put her arm around her friend. She knew Joey didn't approve of this at all, but what did it matter? After tonight, she'd be thanking her for the rest of their lives.
Meanwhile, the five Backstreet Boys were backstage getting prepared to go out on stage.
"You're acting retarded, Nick." AJ said as they sat in their dressing room.
"Fuck off, J." Nick shot back, not bothering to look over at him.
"You can't possibly be serious. Some girl walks out on you and your first thought is 'I hope she's here tonight so I can fuck her again'?" AJ replied, rolling his eyes.
"I said, fuck off." Nick replied, this time glaring at AJ.
AJ didn't seem fazed by Nick's obvious lack of common sense. "Whatever Nicky."
"It is a little rash, Nick." Brian tried, a look of concern on his face. He and Nick had been best friends, but lately they'd hardly talked at all.
"Says Mr. Wallace." Nick replied irritably.
Brian raised his eyebrows. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Nick ran his hands through his hair, causing his stylist to shriek and begin applying more gel. Nick dismissed this and stared at Brian. "It means that you're too wrapped up in your own relationship to give a crap about anyone else's." He said coldly. They were really starting to piss him off. Was there a new rule he hadn't heard about stating that every one night stand had to stay a one night stand?
AJ laughed. "This is hardly a relationship, Nick. She walked out on you! She probably didn't even care that you were 'OHMYGOD Nick Carter!!'" He laughed again. "I doubt you'll find her here."
"Even if she was here, you'd never find her." Brian reasoned, ignoring Nick's previous comment.
Nick didn't answer. He refused to believe that she didn't care who he was. That she could possibly have not been a fan.
No, because she'd been tongue tied when he'd first approached her. She had to be a fan…so then why had she left him? Had he not been good? No, that couldn't be it. Could it? Was he losing his touch?
Nick dismissed his thoughts for the time being. He would deal with them, and the other guys after the show.
No matter how many times Ashleigh and Joey had seen the Backstreet Boys live, the beginning of the show was always exciting. The energy throughout the crowd was always high, and the first glimpse they got of the boys always made them shriek with delight.
This time however, was a little different. They were standing on the floor, as close to the stage as they had ever been before. While Ashleigh had been much closer to Nick the night before, this was something else. She'd slept with Nick last night, and now here she was, second row.
If the fans up in the stands knew, surely they would want her dead.
As the show started, Ashleigh beamed. She and Joey screamed along with the rest of the crowd. The lights dimmed, the pyrotechnics exploded.
And they were on stage. Right in front of them.
Nick took a quick second to survey the crowd. No where. He mentally cursed himself, perhaps Brian was right. Even if she was here, he'd have no luck in finding her in the hordes of fans.
Or would he? Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a blonde girl, standing closely with a brunette. They were grinning ear to ear. Nick couldn't watch for long, as the first song was starting.
Ashleigh noticed Nick glance at her. How could she not? Her eyes didn't leave him the entire time he was on the stage.
It wasn't until the next song that Nick had a chance to search for her again. Sure enough, there she was, standing right next to her friend, singing along with every word.
The next time Nick looked at her, he kept his eyes on her for more than a split second. Ashleigh didn't waste any time. The second that Nick looked at her, she blew him a quick kiss and winked at him.
That sealed it. Her cute pout, her seductive smile. After the show, she was going to be his.
Once the lights came back on, Ashleigh sat back down in her seat. "Did you see that?" She squealed, turning to Joey. "He looked right at me. I'm sure of it."
Joey smiled. She had to admit, she had noticed Nick peek in their direction a number of times. "Yeah, I saw." She grinned, happy for her friend. Maybe Ashleigh hadn't been so far off after all.
While Ashleigh and Joey lingered around in their seats, Nick nearly ran offstage to his bodyguard, Bruce.
"Get that girl." He said, stopping for a moment to catch his breath. "Bring her to my bus." He nearly choked out as they ran to the parking lot.
"What girl?" Bruce asked, putting his hand on Nick's shoulder as they continued to walk.
"That…one!" Nick nearly shouted. "She has blonde hair… it's really long. Like, ridiculously long. She's wearing this little black thing. She's got a friend, she's got brown hair. Her name is Ashleigh." Nick said all in one breath.
Bruce shook his head. "I'm not getting some groupie for you, Nicky."
Nick turned around, immensely annoyed. What was with everyone being against him today? "Go!" He shouted, running over to his bus. "I'm not leaving here without her." He called.
So, as the two girls started to make their way out of the arena Bruce had to run back to try and find the one Nick had described.
It wasn't difficult. The two of them were among the last to leave, as they usually were. Feeling a large hand on her shoulder, Ashleigh spun around.
"What's your name, love?" Bruce asked, hoping that she would give the right answer. He knew that if didn't bring her back, Nick was going to pitch a fit.
"Ashleigh." She responded quietly, not really knowing what was going on.
"Nick requests your presence on his bus." Bruce said, sounding bored.
Ashleigh's eyes widened and she gave Joey a look. "Really?" She said in disbelief.
"Yes Ma'am" He replied.
"Her too?" Ashleigh asked, nudging Joey. She was still somewhat in shock. Part of her hadn't expected this to work.
"He said he wouldn't leave without you."
Ashleigh nearly started hyperventilating. "Oh God. Okay. Let's go, Joe." Ashleigh said, pulling her friend along as she followed Bruce.
Nick had asked specifically for her. The night before, she'd been some girl in a club. Now, he was asking for her by name. Definitely surreal.
"I cannot believe you were right." Joey said, absolutely astonished. There was no way she would have expected Ashleigh's crazy ideas to turn into a reality. Not in a million years.
The girls were escorted into Nick's bus shortly thereafter. Nick, wanting to be left alone with Ashleigh had phoned AJ and pleaded with him to look after Joey. After telling Nick that "he owed him one" AJ obliged and soon, Nick and Ashleigh were left to their own devices.
Face to face, yet again.
Nick walked towards Ashleigh, a smile playing on his lips. "You left without saying goodbye." His face inching towards hers.
Trying to think of something witty, Ashleigh kissed his lips quickly. "I had to keep you thinking about me." She smirked.
Nick kissed her yet again, letting his tongue explore her mouth. He pressed his body up against hers. Ashleigh giggled, moving her kisses down to his neck. She nearly had to stand on her tip toes to reach that high.
"You're fucking adorable, you know that?" Nick said as she continued to kiss him.
Ashleigh grinned and soon, they were partially clothed on the floor on the bus. The two of them were kissing and touching each other as though they were old lovers who hadn't seen each other in years.
Until the bus came to a screeching halt.
Nick shook his head, putting on his own shirt and tossing Ashleigh hers. "We'd better get going, or Kevin will be on my ass."
Sure enough, Kevin was knocking on the door almost as soon as they had stopped in front of the hotel. Grinning, Nick and Ashleigh exited the bus.
"What the…?" Kevin started, looking in Ashleigh's direction.
Nick put his arm around her. "Hey Kev." He said, walking towards the hotel.
"Hi Kevin." Ashleigh giggled, somewhat in shock. In all her excitement over Nick, she'd nearly forgotten about the other Backstreet Boys.
Kevin could only stare as Nick and what he assumed to be the fan Nick had been talking about earlier stepped inside the hotel.
That is, until AJ approached him with another surprise.
"You too?" Kevin asked sharply, glaring at him.
"Not really." AJ replied. "She's Nick's girl's friend." He explained.
Kevin just nodded. What was Nick up to exactly?
As soon as they had stepped into Nick's hotel room, he declared that he needed a shower. Ashleigh, ever the seductress had joined him.
Now, as the warm water ran over their bodies, Ashleigh sent small kisses down Nick's chest, over his torso and before long she took him in her mouth. Nick breathed heavily, placing his hand on the side of the shower wall for support. This definitely made the impending lecture from Kevin worth it.
Ashleigh flicked her tongue against his tip and she continued to suck on him. Nick moaned, unable to contain himself. He lifted Ashleigh up and pushed her against the shower wall. With her arms around his neck and legs wrapped around his waist he guided himself into her, causing her to gasp with pleasure.
Slow and gentle at first, Nick gradually became rougher as the shower sprayed against his back. He pursed his lips together as ecstasy overtook his body. "Ash…" He moaned softly, enjoying the feeling of her skin against his.
"Nicky…" Ashleigh breathed as she climaxed. She tightened around Nick, sending him over the edge.
The two of them smiled a little as they stood there for a moment. They were lost in a world that contained just the two of them. A world where all they could think about was each other.

I've been catching up on various mundane jobs since I got back last weekend and one piece of news that sneaked by unseen behind a pile of ironing yesterday was that another Origin classic Bioforge has been released on GOG for the usual price of $5.99. This was one of Origin's best efforts without a doubt, a kind of updated sci-fi Alone In The Dark with strong movie-like story elements. It could have done with a sequel but is certainly recommended at the price if you've never played it.
Also yesterday, Star Citizen reached its first million in the fundraising campaign and immediately launched a Kickstarter. I'll admit that I was unconvinced that a Kickstarter was a good idea as I thought splitting the funding would just cause confusion among backers. Since the Kickstarter is closing in on $200,000 after one day, I was clearly completely and utterly wrong. I guess you can never have enough sources of money or publicity. Here's hoping RSI reaches the $2 million total by this time next week and they can start working on those stretch goals.
Finally, if you have some money left over, Lori & Corey Cole of Quest For Glory fame just launched a Kickstarter of their own. It clearly isn't going to be on the scale of Star Citizen but I can't be the only Sierra fan who has been waiting for this one.
Runes of Virtue was another Ultima spin off series, this time developed for the gameboy. The gameplay has very little to do with Ultima although there are a few familiar people and locations. In the game a figure called the Black Knight has stolen the runes and hidden them in the dungeons. You travel between all the dungeons trying to get them all back. The gameplay is a combination of combat and puzzle with a lot of pushing boulders around (ala Boulderdash), flipping switches and the like. There are some minor RPG elements in that your stats improve as you collect runes so you will be able to take more damage, use more magic, etc. For magic, there isn't spell casting but you can use certain objects as you collect them which will consume spell points. Combat is just click to fire in the direction you face and very simple.
I've never owned a gameboy although I do have a hacked PSP so I've dusted that off for the first time in months to play this on the excellent MasterBoy emulator. I thought I'd taken a load of screenshots on the way but now I come to try and get them off the psp there is nothing there and it looks as though there is some bug or other in the emulator. I'll not be bothering with screenshots for this post therefore. Never having owned a gameboy I've nothing to compare this game against either. The ROM is just 128k – the original Apple 2 Ultima probably took up more room than that so its a bit unfair to compare ROV against the rest of the series.
There is a choice of characters at the start of the game – I went for Dupre as the strongest fighter. This just changes starting stats/equipment a bit. The game itself starts in Britania but not Britania as we know it. The realm is now 4 or 5 distant islands and bears little relation to the rest of the series. There are a couple of locations which you can walk into which are basically shops + LB's castle. LB sends me off to the first dungeon just to the North. The dungeons are where I will be spending most of the rest of this game – the dungeons can get quite complex – you kill monsters, push boulders, flip switches and collect keys to try to travel between levels and find the rune. As an added complication some dungeons have alternate routes which lead to some artifact or other. For example at the start of the game you need a wand of fireballs to burn certain spider webs. This grants access to a boat that sails off to another island on the main map later in the game. In this way you have to complete some dungeons before you get access to others.
The same music plays in all the dungeons and it has to be the worst piece of music the fat man has ever composed. This is not a game to play with the sound on – the limited abilities of the gameboy don't help here. The dungeons are surprisingly large and complex, especially the Stygian abyss at the end of the game. There is a good 5 or 6 hours of gameplay which is impressive out of such limited space.
Other than that I don't have a lot to say about this. There isn't any storyline, the gameplay never really varies. I didn't get bored as the puzzles kept on coming, all in all this was probably a decent title for the gameboy. Its a light, fun puzzle game but nothing much more.

What is the Role of Chief Resilience Officers in Responding to COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter Protests?
By Jessie Feller Hahn, Executive Director, Meeting of the Minds
Jessie Feller Hahn is the Executive Director of Meeting of the Minds where she is responsible for identifying global urban sustainability, innovation, technology best practices and thought leadership, developing platforms for city leaders to share lessons learned, and building alliances and partnerships across and within sectors.
Jun 17, 2020 | Thought Leader Interview | 0 comments
I spoke recently with Stewart Sarkozy-Banoczy about his work with Resiliency Officers around the world through the Global Resilient Cities Network. My four takeaways from this 9-minute video:
As Stewart says, COVID-19 "ripped the bandaid off" to show the weaknesses and frailties of our cities and towns. Chief Resiliency Officers (CROs) around the world are well positioned to assist Mayors in mitigating/recovering from Covid-19 and responding to the protests and civil unrest across our cities.
Their interdisciplinary, holistic role is exactly what's needed right now as we tackle the enormous task(s) currently at play in cities throughout the world. Not surprisingly, cities, and even states, are creating more resiliency officer positions. Louisiana, for example, has recently created a State Resiliency Officer position.
Resiliency's baked-in focus on equity and racial justice sets up resiliency officers to quickly engage and assist Mayors offices as they respond to the protests and call for racial justice.
Resiliency officers are seeking to expand their network to engage with leaders (across sectors) focused on this work through the new Cities for Resiliency Recovery network. More information is here.


Join us on April 15 – 18, 2019 in ATX at the famous ACL Moody Theater to celebrate six years of ETS as we honor the heroes that help provide safe and reliable electricity, as well as explore the realistic state and future of energy.
In the 1950s, utilities were seen as revolutionaries that improved our quality of life. Over time and given our newfound ability to dream in digital, that perception has changed.
Because for the lucky, we flip the switch, and the light comes on every time. For others, it's a gamble for a flicker. Today's global electricity system is a complex web of wires, infrastructure, and an ever-growing list of new tech, but how is our industry respecting it? Loving your energy is not only about appreciating its loyalty, but more importantly all the moving parts that make it happen.
At ETS19, we want to highlight how utilities can have a positive impact on society today in a way that customers value and that is environmentally conscious.


Construction sets are always one of the most popular and well used resources in Nursery. One we have provided for many years is Mobilo. It contains multiple connectors and a variety of pieces of different sizes and shapes that give children enough scope to make choices and build many static and moveable models. This gives so many opportunities for learning across the early years curriculum.
Mobilo is a useful resource for many aspects of mathematics. The individual components contain different shapes so meaningful learning can be applied in the context of the children's hands on play. When using the set, you can talk together about the shapes they have used or need more of, which work well and why, and use combinations of shapes to represent and symbolise other things.
The angled triangular pieces are frequently used for making space rockets and airplanes, as the children use them for the streamlined nose and for the wings. The most adept rocket builders use the connecters to angle and adjust the take off, flying and landing position of the wings.
The concept and language of size also emerges and can be developed through this form of construction play. The elements lend themselves to size description and comparison when talking about their choices and intentions and their ongoing or finished creations. Models may be simply big or small, but scope for talking about whether they are long, short, high or low, even wide or narrow can be developed through conversation whilst playing together. A recurring theme for our children is connecting up the long, flat rectangular pieces to build ladders for fire engines.
The flexibility of Mobilo really supports children's creativity and imagination because they can make whatever they want to, and change it along the way. Our preschool children use the models they made to create toys to play with such as trains, cars and lorries. They quickly find out that the different connecters allow for a range of movements, some can create a bending motion, others let a piece rotate right around. Once this is discovered then helicopters and wind mills can be explored. Connecting pieces can also be used to make boundaries for toy animals.
Props for use in role play also become evident such as mobile phones, and items from their first hand experiences like thermometers, hammers and even necklaces. This really supports the children's social interaction and language. The children's fine motor skills are continually being challenged and developed due to the manipulative actions required to join the construction pieces together securely.
Some children like the challenge of using the activity cards and problem solving how to recreate the model shown in the picture by matching the exact shapes and colours and counting how many of each part they need. However it is the open ended nature of Mobilo that truly enables children to really extend their thinking, and engage in symbolic play where there are no limits to their ideas.

With two cradle supports available in our spray shop, we are able to seamlessly spray apply hard wearing and densely copper filled resin to your boat. Whilst the Coppercoat is being applied to the hull, the air temperature and humidity levels in the workshop are monitored and recorded along with the batch numbers of the Copper itself.
Jotun Megagloss and Awlgrip are the two primary paints applied to the topsides and superstructure in order to achieve the highest possible standard of finish. We are happy to advise on which product would be best in order to give your yacht or motor cruiser a 'brand new' look.
Osmosis is the blistering and decomposition of the gelcoat that allows water penetration into the GRP hull structure. This issue continues to plague glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) vessels below the waterline, particularly as they get older. Suffolk Yacht Harbour is experienced in the complete elimination of this problem by thorough gelcoat peeling, shot-blasting, careful drying and final finishing with a hard, impenetrable coat of epoxy resin. Guaranteed for five years and approved by West System, we have applied this reliable treatment for more than 25 years at Suffolk Yacht Harbour.

Hello, hello, hello! It's Thursday and that means I'm sharing my weekly Avery Elle project:) Today I've got a super CAS card made with the new Dotted dies set! This card is kind of a take on the inlaid die technique. All of the die cuts are the same layer, just pieced together. This card was made with just one of the banner dies in the set. The tail ends just happen to fit perfectly together!
The totally white background is offset by the sentiment that I die cut with the Simply Said: Hello die in the new Avery Elle patterned paper (Brights collection). Have you tried the new paper yet? The patterns are so adorable and the classic patterns go with everything. And I love that the paper is double-sided in two different colors!
That's all for me today! Until next time! Thanks so much for stopping in!
Love how you pieced the dotted banners together and love the paper you chose for the word cut too.
Such a clever idea! I think I will be CASEing it in the future!
Ohhh!! I LOVE that fun background. What a cool way to use that die. I want to CASE this sometime in the future too!!
So sweet! Love what you did with the banners!
This is so cool, I love it. Genius, who thinks like this?
Totally cool card, JJ. I love all the white.
So in love with this one!!! I really appreciate how you didn't use the die in the expected way. Would never have thought of this!!
Okay, now I have to try this! Awesome!!
What a simple, but altogether fantastic looking technique!
Love this. I have been trying to order this die set for 2 months. All 3 of the online stores I order from have been out of stock of this set for that long.
I am so sorry I've gotten behind on your posts...I've missed so much!

Hi! My name is Mrs. Michelle Reichel and I am so excited to be returning to Mills Park for another year. I have been with Mills Park Elementary since it opened in 2008.
I was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania (on Lake Erie, see picture below) where I received my Bachelor of the Arts degrees in elementary and special education at Mercyhurst College (now called Mercyhurst University). Shortly after graduation, I moved to Florida and began my teaching career in Tampa, Florida.
I married my husband, Nick, on 7-7-07. In 2008, my husband and I decided to make a move to North Carolina to be a little closer to home (Pennsylvania) and to pursue other professional goals. Also in 2008, my husband and I welcomed a new addition into our family Mira (above), a rescue dog, and in 2011 our other rescue dog, Maggie (below). Both are as sweet as can be.
In 2012, I completed my Masters of Education in Literacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Tarheels!!!).
Also in 2011-2012, I participated in year-long process in order to receive National Board Certification in Early-Middle Childhood Literacy. The process involved video-taping myself while teaching then watching it back and reflecting. It also involved developing a portfolio and completing computerized assessments. This process was a lot of work, yet very rewarding.
In 2014, Mr. Reichel and I had our first child, Addie Lynn. She is so much fun.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing. I hope to someday write a children's book. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I love to travel, learn, and share my learning with others. Experimenting in the kitchen and with crafts are two more of my hobbies.

Q: Whats the information does the call_history.db file contains and how can we access it programatically in iphone sdk? I need to get access of call_history.db file and I want to know how to access that database and what the information is stored in it.Does it stores the incoming call,outgoing call and declined call numbers??
Thanks to all,
Monish.

A: In short, you can't.
The call history on the iPhone is not accessible to the SDK.  The data contained within any such database (or databases) is entirely an internal implementation detail of the device and may change at any time.

Let's get this straight, right off the bat: I'm NOT a makeup pro.
I wear it everyday unless I'm camping or at the pool.
Makeup has not always loved me.
I have spent that last 20 years trying to find the right products for my VERY oily, VERY sensitive skin. I've tried the expensive stuff. I've tried the drugstore stuff. I've had consultations. I'm always on the hunt, and in the last few years, I've pinned down my favorites in a few beauty categories.
Now…I found my foundation soulmate! It's the best of a BB cream, a CC cream, and a tinted moisturizer!
Easy to apply. I have better things to do in the morning than some crazy 17 step system to a "flawless face"…like eat pancakes, and track down shoes.
Looks natural. I want to look like myself—I want people to see ME.
It's called bareMinerals' Complexion Rescue and I bought it at Ulta.
Guys. It comes in SIXTEEN SHADES.
For the first time in my life, I found a shade that matched. Not a shade that's "good enough" a shade that matches my skin! I feel like I found some sort of secret makeup treasure.
Here I am, no makeup, no fancy photo filter.
Why is the best light on the floor, near the bed. I don't know. It just IS.
So this is where I start. I've got some redness and unevenness that I like to even out a bit.
Here I am with the addition of blush, highlighter, and lipstick.
This is what I look like everyday. Like I said…unless a campfire or bathing suit is involved.
It replaces my moisturizing step. It's technically "tinted hydrating gel creme" and I am able to skip using moisturizer in the morning.
It didn't make me break out. And EVERYTHING makes me break out.
Looks great alone. I can easily wear this and nothing else without looking half-done.
Washes off easily with mild cleanser. I've found great products, only to be disappointed that it takes something strong or harsh to really remove it at night.
It looks good all day, and into the evening!
Here I am, the same day the photos above were taken, after a long day, a pizza run, and two soccer games. No filter, as with all the other photos.
And if it makes me and my hard-to-manage-skin happy, you're going to love looking lovely and dewy in a jiffy.
Watch to learn more about bareMinerals' Complexion Rescue and see how you can look fabulous in 3 minutes.

Children of families who neither hold membership at a church home nor regularly attend another church.
Children of families who hold membership in or regularly attend other churches not in fellowship with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.
Because it is our expressed intent and purpose to minister to those in categories one through three, applications for children in these categories will be processed first. Those accepted from categories one through three will be enrolled throughout the spring as applications are received.
Applications of children in category four will also be processed when received; however, those accepted will be done so on a tentative basis and will be placed on a temporary waiting list until May 1, at which time they will be enrolled as space availability allows. If there are more students on the waiting list than available spots, the Prairie Lutheran's School Board will determine which families will be enrolled.
All students no matter what category will be reviewed each year for school enrollment. Future enrollment can depend, but is not limited to; excessive tardiness, excessive absenteeism, bill status, academic achievement, and general school behavior. The principal will inform parents if the child is under consideration for future enrollment. The principal will also inform parents of the School Board's decision.
Student capacity is 12 students for Kindergarten and grades 1-8 twenty-four students per classroom. Category four students will no longer be enrolled in grades K-2 when enrollment reaches twenty and will no longer be enrolled in grades 3-8 when enrollment reaches twenty-two. The last two spots in each classroom will be left open to accommodate students in categories one through three throughout the summer and into the school year. If there is no space available because the classroom limit has been reached, the applicant may ask to be placed on a waiting list in the event an opening occurs. Final classroom enrollment will be determined by PLS School Board.
The school staff will make arrangements for campus tours and classroom visits. Parents who are interested in enrolling their children at Prairie Lutheran may obtain an application from the school principal, who will meet with them to become acquainted and to discuss the needs of their children, the mission and policies of our school, and to answer any questions they might have.
There is no application fee; however, upon acceptance, parents are required to pay a registration fee to reserve their child's space.
For children transferring from another school, report cards, attendance records, and test results from the previous two years must be submitted with the application.
If desired by either the applicant family or the school, one of the pastors may meet with the applicant family to discuss any spiritual needs or concerns.
Parents are informed by letter whether their child has been accepted, declined enrollment, or placed on a waiting list. The Prairie Lutheran School Board will be informed of all enrollments and, in special circumstances, may make the final decision whether a student will be accepted.
All new students are enrolled on a probationary basis for the first full quarter they attend our school. Category three and four children and their siblings will be re-enrolled each year as long as they display appropriate conduct and academic effort and their parents have met all enrollment requirements.
Parents/guardian must agree to allow their child attend the worship services in which his or her class is scheduled to sing (several times each year). Singing in worship is an integral part of our religion curriculum and provides our students an opportunity to praise God and confess the Biblical truths they are learning in school.
Parents/guardian must be supportive of the school, its teachers, its religion classes, and its policies.
Parents/guardian must be faithful in making timely tuition and other school related payments.
Parents/guardian must provide academic, attendance, and behavioral records from previous schools as well as results of psychological, cognitive, or academic achievement tests for the principal's review.

El Frente Amplio por la Democracia (FAD) fue un partido político de Panamá asociado ideológicamente con la izquierda, que existió en dos períodos: desde el 12 de septiembre de 2013 hasta mayo de 2014, y luego desde el 21 de febrero de 2018 hasta el 25 de julio de 2019. Se denominaba como un partido conformado por los "sectores populares" panameños (obreros, campesinos, indígenas, entre otros). Su presidente fue el doctor Fernando Cebamanos y su secretario general fue el dirigente sindicalista Genaro López.

Primer período

Este partido fue concebido el 12 de febrero de 2011 a partir del movimiento social Frenadeso, y el 12 de julio de 2011 el Tribunal Electoral reconoció al FAD como un partido en formación. Los orígenes propios del FAD estuvieron íntimamente relacionados con el movimiento obrero del Sindicato Único Nacional de Trabajadores de la Industria de la Construcción y Similares (Suntracs) fundado el 10 de septiembre de 1972.

El FAD tenía una membresía (sept. 2013) de 63.453 inscritos. El partido postuló al dirigente sindical Genaro López como candidato presidencial propio para las elecciones generales de 2014 y no planearon hacer alianza con ningún otro partido político, asegurando que ellos no representaban a los sectores populares que conformaban su organismo.

No obstante, el partido tuvo un resultado desastroso al obtener sólo el 0,6% de los votos totales para presidente (quedando en cuarto lugar) siendo superado por los otros tres candidatos partidistas. Tampoco obtuvieron diputados ni alcaldes, y a pesar de que ganaron dos representantes de corregimiento, no evitó la desaparición del partido que debía alcanzar al menos el 4% de los votos nacionales para sobrevivir.

Segundo período

Con el objetivo de participar en las elecciones generales de 2019 nuevamente el partido se reinscribió y obtuvo su reconocimiento por el Tribunal Electoral de Panamá el 21 de febrero de 2018, con Saúl Méndez como candidato a la Presidencia.

Sin embargo, en las elecciones generales del 5 de mayo de 2019, el partido obtuvo uno 13 540 votos (0,69% del total) y no obtuvo el mínimo de 2% de votos obtenidos en los cargos de elección popular, por lo que el 25 de julio de 2019 el Tribunal Electoral anunció por segunda vez su desaparición como partido.

Intento de refundación

Nuevamente la formación intentó reinscribirse ante el Tribunal Electoral en 2020, siendo reconocido como partido en formación en diciembre del mismo año. El objetivo sería su participación en las elecciones generales de mayo de 2024, sin embargo, hasta la fecha límite que era el 31 de diciembre de 2022 sólo pudo obtener apenas 13 mil firmas de las 39 296 necesarias para su reconocimiento como partido constituido, y no podrán participar directamente en las elecciones. Empero, la formación pudo armar bajo la figura de libre postulación la precandidatura presidencial de Maribel Gordón, quien está obteniendo firmas para aparecer en la papeleta.

Greeting card with movable doll. Nineteehth century.
This fragile hand-painted card is an early example of a movable. Its text addresses the little charming doll figure as "Dear simpering, fascinating Miss." She does indeed simper and fascinate as her billowing blue skirts move stiffly and she peeks out from under her tiny bonnet.
We see Madame Polichinelle dressed to the nines, and yet we are not deceived. Bright colors, rich materials, a fluttering fan, a wig, and glasses do not a lady make.
Album Lebender Bilder: Album des Tableaux Vivants: Album of Living Pictures. Germany: E. R. & Co., [1870s].
As is true of all these early books, the movable elements are simple and fragile. The "living pictures" in this work confine their mechanics to the back-and-forth motion of the seesaw and the rocking horse. Each scene strongly conveys and comments on a privileged nineteenth-century lifestyle in which the children are dressed elegantly, Christmas is bountiful, and Mother and Father watch over their family in loving embrace.
La Bella y el Monstruo. Barcelona: Manen, 1951.
This Spanish tableau of "Beauty and the Beast" condenses the story to fit into two panels. The monster turns into a prince in a blink of the eye, and the happy ending appears almost before the story has started. Unlike the sentimental prettiness of German and English illustrations, the Spanish drawings are bolder and the colors more vivid.

...when an electric does what my current vehicle does. That is travels for 300 miles with a top speed of 130mph, 0-60 time of aprox 9 sec, with the radio, AC, and headlights burning, and I can spend £20 and 10 minutes to fill it back up.
THAT is what the industry should be working towards (or better).

This one-month workshop explores robotic additive manufacture and assembly of novel shell structures.
Over the course of three weeks, participants from both Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Tongji University will work together to design, develop and build a full-scale robotically manufactured shell structure in Shanghai, where they will be developing hands-on skills to integrate programming, structural design exploration, digital fabrication, and robotic assembly. The workshop explores novel shell structures leveraging advances in additive manufacturing and robotic fabrication, equilibrium-based methods of structural design and assembly, and the design opportunities enabled by their integration.
Participants are expected to possess a good handle on 3D modeling and computational design, preferably with working knowledge of Python, and experiences in digital fabrication and prototyping. Participants of all levels of expertise in structural design and analysis and robotics are welcomed. Students will be exposed to computational tools, techniques and workflows to engage with the robotics-enabled design exploration using the open-source COMPAS framework, an open-source, Python-based computational framework for collaboration and research in architecture, engineering and digital fabrication.
This workshop was organised in January 2019 as an "Experiment in Pedagogy" as part of "150 Years of Architecture at MIT" and held at Tongji University in Shanghai, China.


In this slow-paced thriller an American couple starting a business in Budapest meet an elderly man hunting the son-in-law he believes murdered his daughter.
The story by Jessica Keener unfolds at too slow a pace and seems to circle back on itself, with the characters doing things that don't move the plot forward. Unfortunately it was difficult to become invested in this mystery.

Q: Prestashop add custom radio button on shipping carriers on front end checkout I have created one custom module in Prestashop 1.7.8.7 which will add multiple shipping methods (Carrier) and will show shipping cost based on product dimensions and delivery address. So shipping carrier will look something like this on front-end checkout page. https://prnt.sc/E1avDASyJYYW
Now if someone select SameDay Courier Shipping then i need to show two radio button to select which service they want.
It will have two radio options like

*

*Delivery pickup (by default this option will be selected)

*Locker pickup

So if someone select Delivery pickup then it will have different shipping cost and if someone select Locker pickup then it will have different shipping cost.
Can anybody help me how can i achieve this functionality.
While digging, i found that we have file called DeliveryOptionsFinder.php and in that file we have one public function called getDeliveryOptions() where we have this line of code
    if ($moduleId = Module::getModuleIdByName($carrier['external_module_name'])) {
        $carrier['extraContent'] = Hook::exec('displayCarrierExtraContent', ['carrier' => $carrier], $moduleId);
    }
}

So if i set is_module to 1 to all my carriers directly from DB then on frontend checkout page, no carriers is being displayed.
Thanks in advance.

A: I've already done something like this in the last 2 year as prestashop developer.
The truth is that you can't achieve what you want by "respecting" prestashop processes.
Maybe you can hook using a module the hookDisplayCarrierExtraContent($data) and then return the 2 radios if carrier is certain one (use $data).
But you can't handle a form submit or something else, or include it to prestashop checkout data.
But what you can do as workaround, for example, is the following.
In your module, as I said, hook the extra content, render a template with the 2 radios. Hook displayHeader too and use $this->context->controller->addJS() to add your own js if the current controller is the checkout one.
Then in this JS code you can handle the "change" event of the radios and send an ajax request to your module.
You can create inside {your_module}/controllers/front/ a controller called, for example, radio-choose and handle the js ajax request by saving inside your own table the choosen one.
Obviously you  can disable the "next" button in checkout untill one of the two radios are selected, or maybe you can just set a radio button as default one to simplify.
For example your table "ps_cart_choosen_radio" could look like this |id_cart|choosen_radio|.
Then you have all the data you needed. When a cart is converted into an order you will have inside Order object (and ps_orders table as well) the id_cart.
Just select / join choosen radio from your own table by using order's id_cart.
"SELECT choosen_radio FROM ps_cart_choosen_radio WHERE id_cart = {$order.id_cart}"

If you need to show data depending on choosen_radio in frontend you can hook everywhere an order is present and select these data. Or maybe you can edit carrier name in ps_orders table by adding a piece of string. Let' say carrier is "express" and customer choosed "24h". You can update that column with carrier name by changing it to "express-24h" so around the whole prestashop ecosystem everybody will see that's a 24h choice.
Remember that the carrier name related to an order is not the carrier name inside the carriers table. So you can edit it without having trouble.
All these problems comes from the "need" to show some nested choices instead of listing all these in the main selections. In that case it would be easy (just create carrier in the prestashop backoffice)


There are three main things that colleges in the United States look at when determining whether to admit a student: grade point average, extracurricular activities, and standardized test scores. For foreign students who want to study in America, the standardized test score requirements can be confusing – and also incredibly daunting. Don't despair! With these tips, you can boost your test scores and increase your chances of admittance to the US college of your choice.
If you are a foreign student, then there is a chance that you've heard about the infamous SAT test. But many foreign students don't know that virtually all US colleges will also accept ACT scores.
The SAT and ACT are both standardized tests, but they have some very important differences between them.
The SAT is set up to measure your critical reasoning and verbal abilities. By contrast, the ACT is designed to show what you've learned in school. It includes a science section, whereas the SAT test does not. Both tests have essay writing sections, but this section is optional with the ACT whereas it is mandatory with the SAT. There are also some other notable differences between the tests, including the length of the test, penalties for wrong answers, and question style. This article does a good job explaining the differences between the SAT and ACT tests.
Some people will say that the SAT or the ACT test is easier. This is not true. Both tests are equally as difficult, but some students may perform better with one test or the other.
The SAT test is more popular with foreign students, but mostly because the SAT does a better job of marketing to foreigners. See what testing centres are available near you to determine what your options are.
If both the SAT and ACT are available in your area, then do practice tests of each. See which one you score better on. Then focus on that test. Note that the SAT and ACT use very different scoring methods. You can use this SAT-ACT Concordance Table to see how your scores compare.
Take Lots of Practice Tests!
Those practice SAT and ACT tests really do help improve your test scores! Another reason for taking practice tests is that the practice scores aren't reported to colleges.
If you do poorly on your real SAT or ACT test, you can always take the test again. However, some colleges require you to send in all of your test scores. Colleges might not look down on you for taking the test 2 or even 3 times, but taking it 15 times could be held against you.
Leave It Blank or Guess?
With the ACT test, there is no penalty for a wrong answer so you should always guess if you aren't sure. With the SAT test, there used to be a ¼ point penalty for each wrong answer (except with the grid-in math questions).
If you can eliminate at 1 of the 5 possible answers, then you should randomly guess.
They remind you that the SAT test makers are really good at making wrong test answers look right. So, if you aren't sure, then it is really important that you randomly guess. Otherwise, your chances of guessing correctly are reduced even further.
Don't wait to register for the SAT or ACT test. The tests book up quickly, and you might end up having to travel long distances to take the test. Considering that the tests are often given in the morning, that might mean waking up at 5am to get to the testing centre on time. Good luck performing well when you are so tired.
Even if you are from an English-speaking country, it doesn't mean your American English is up to par. There may be idioms in the test questions or other phrases that you don't understand. Likewise, you don't want to makes lots of spelling mistakes by writing words like criticise (criticize), favourite (favorite), or annexe (annex). These mistakes shouldn't hurt your essay scores in the SAT test, but a series of mistakes could slightly reduce your scores.

SAIPAN: More than six months after super typhoon Yutu battered Saipan, recovery efforts are making little traction with the government facing cash-flow problems as its once vaunted engine of growth – a Chinese-funded casino project: is mired in deep losses.
Hundreds of people remain in makeshift housing and some schools are teaching students in tents on the tiny Western Pacific island, a US territory close to major US military bases on Guam.
Saipan's economy had been buoyed by Hong Kong-listed Imperial Pacific International Holdings' casino since it opened as a temporary facility in 2015. The project has contributed to around 60 per cent of government revenues through taxes and operating fees.
Tax revenues due to Saipan's government have dropped by more than 70 per cent, according to Imperial's annual report released in March while legislators, executives and local residents say the company is behind on monthly tax payments.
Authorities in Saipan, part of the tropical Northern Mariana Islands, are planning to cut the budget by 10 per cent for 2020 and have already cut US$12 million in spending for fiscal year 2019, according to governor Ralph Torres. Austerity measures such as reducing utility hours have also taken effect.
Imperial operates its opulent gold and cream-hued casino in the heart of Saipan's main Garapan district, targeting high roller gamblers, mostly from China.
The company is facing acute challenges with visits from high rollers plunging after the typhoon in October and US$1.2 billion in outstanding receivables, of which US$730 million was over a year old, according to its 2018 annual report.
Saipan's government is currently considering a bill to legalise online gambling to offset falling revenues from the casino. Local businessman Glen Hunter said the casino's problems had spilled over into other businesses, with local parking and views affected. Hunter has repeatedly called for more transparency and scrutiny over Imperial's operations.
"Who is going to offset these negative impacts? We the taxpayers have been shouldering it," he said.
Imperial's casino plan is the vision of Macau junket executive Ji Xiaobo, who won a 40-year casino licence in 2014.
Imperial is also trying to secure a 400-acre land plot on the north-west of Saipan to build a mega-resort with convention facilities and thousands of hotel rooms.
About 900 children are currently being taught lessons out of 42 tents.


In true sustainable fashion, Iceland is repurposing this Greenpeace animation as their Christmas ad.
Iceland, the UK supermarket which specialises in frozen food and which has 900 stores across the country, has just launched their Christmas ad "Rang-tan" on Youtube instead of on television as planned - because the body responsible for clearing ads on behalf of the four major broadcasters, Clearcast, would not approve the ad for broadcast.
When Iceland relayed the message to the thousands of fans commenting on their video post, they said they couldn't get approval for Rang-tan because it was "seen to be in support of a political issue."
Clearcast released a statement last Friday, clarifying that their issue with the Iceland Christmas ad, was related to the fact that the film had been made and already published by Greenpeace.
Clearcast's concerns do not extend to the content or message of the ad."
The ad is a short animation named after Rang-tan, the orangutan featured in the story, showing what it might feel like for a young child to experience the affects of deforestation which orangutans suffer at the hands of palm oil production. The Rang-tan animation was indeed originally created by Greenpeace and released earlier this year in August alongside a petition to challenge large global corporations like Nestlé and Unilever to stop using palm oil in their products. In true sustainable fashion, Iceland is repurposing this Greenpeace animation as their Christmas ad.
Iceland budgeted half a million pounds for their media spend but instead, their social media posts on Youtube and Facebook are going viral, with over three million views and hundreds of thousands of shares in a matter of days.
"Iceland made the decision to demonstrate to the food and retail industries that it is possible to reduce the demand for palm oil until the industry stops destroying the rainforests by seeking alternative ingredients. Growing demand for palm oil for use in food products, cosmetics and biodiesel is devastating tropical rainforests across South East Asia. Expanding palm oil and wood pulp plantations are the biggest driver of deforestation, many species are being threatened with extinction, including the orangutan, already critically endangered," The press release explained further.
In addition to removing palm oil from their own range, Iceland's recent efforts towards environmental sustainability include committing to removing plastic from its own label products by 2023. The company has also guaranteed that its own range is free of GM ingredients since the late nineties.
According to the Iceland website, "Our Head Chef Neil Nugent, has been working in the Iceland development kitchen to remove and replace palm oil in our own brand food lines with oils and fats that do not destroy the rainforest. We are also working closely with our trusted suppliers to ensure that changes to our recipes do not impact the cost (or taste) of our own brand products. These efforts reduce the demand for palm oil by more than 500 tonnes per year."
Many people are criticising Clearcast's decision not to approve the Iceland Christmas ad - which probably helped it reach a much wider audience much more quickly than if it had been approved for traditional media broadcasting on television in the first place.

Communing With the Campbells – Arcosanti The World's First Prototype Arcology
5th April 2022 /in Home - Other Stories, News/by Editor
Arcosanti Herald from Anthony Campbell on Vimeo.
This adventure is first and foremost a research project. A research project into alternative ways to live. What lessons can we take from pioneering communities around the world that are doing things differently? Arcosanti was always a destination within the USA that was high up on the priority list because it's so different.
Arcosanti is the world's first Prototype Arcology. It's mission is to inspire a reimagined urbanism that builds resilient and equitable communities sustainably integrated with the natural world. It's a giant social experiment and it's utterly fascinating. It's ambition, it's commercial heartbeat, it's community I find inspiring. It's a living breathing working example of another way. It's not perfect, it's not utopia, but it reaffirms my belief that there is another way and that when we come together, united by a common purpose and vision anything is possible.
That said it's a project that's been around since the 1970's and it has never quite fulfilled it's founders vision of a community of 5000 plus. The community currently consists of just over 80 full time members. It's extraordinary architecture alongside it's philosophy pulls in the crowds though. Over 55,000 people visit Arcosanti each year. Many of them, I'm sure, like us wanting to be inspired by an alternative model.
Next up we head up to Flagstaff where we are being filmed by a National TV channel for a couple of days. We are visiting the Grand Canyon as part of the filming. We're also going to be experiencing an extended period of time in RV parks. I think there's plenty to learn from RV communities on this leg of our adventure and we'll be weaving in our finding into our eventual documentary on community and communal living.

Barack Obama's greatest speeches are full of images and stories. Ed Miliband's effort on Tuesday was piled with abstractions and cliches, taking us into the bargain basement of oratory.
"We need a new bargain…the big challenge of building a new bargain…the Tories aren't building a new bargain" – how on earth do you build a bargain? In a speech criticising our materialistic society, the choice of language showed a tin ear. "Bargain" conjures up images of Poundland, not of an optimistic future.
At the heart of every great speech is a proposition: a clear and strong statement of what the speaker believes. Miliband's speech didn't have one, which is why it appeared to lack shape and purpose.
Great oratory opened the doors of the White House to Obama. If Miliband is to follow a similar path, he should sack his language experts and get hold of an accomplished wordsmith.
I agree with your comments about his speechwriters. They should be fired. Unfortunately, Miliband couldn't deliver a great speech even if he had Obama's speech writer. The content might then be excellent but we'd all fall asleep or be embarassed by his poor delivery.
Poor fellow! He's a noose around the Labour Party's neck.

Can Hydrangeas Live Without Direct Sun?
By Nathalie Alonso Updated July 22, 2021
Optimal Temperature for Hydrangeas
Types of Leaves on Hydrangeas
How to Clear Pests From Hydrangeas
Southern Evergreen Shrubs for Landscapes
Why Isn't My Hydrangea Blooming?
While all hydrangeas (Hydrangea spp.) need some direct sun to grow, hydrangea sunlight requirements are determined by the species. Some hydrangeas are full-sun flowers, while others perform best in part or even full shade. Be warned that too much shade can reduce flowering, however. Hydrangeas are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 to 11, with the range also depending on the species.
All plants, including hydrangeas, need some direct sunlight to live, though some species can tolerate more shade than others.
Hydrangeas for Shade
Many hydrangea species grow best in part shade, which is at least four hours of direct sunlight a day, and even full shade, which means less than four hours of sun. Species in this category include the bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla, zones 5-11), which can be blue, pink or white. The color of the blooms is determined by the pH of the soil. Acidic soils produce blue flowers, and alkaline soils result in pink flowers. Bigleaf hydrangeas can have mophead or lacecap flowers depending on the specific variety, explains the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Other shade-loving hydrangeas include the smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens, zones 3-9), which likes part shade. It grows 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide. This species blooms from June to September, when it produces hairy white flowers in corymbs that are between 2 and 6 inches wide. With consistent moisture, both the bigleaf hydrangea and smooth hydrangea can sometimes grow in full sun, says the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Hydrangeas for Sun
Unlike other hydrangea species, the panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata, zones 3-8), relishes full sun, which is equal to six hours of direct sunlight or more a day. According to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the panicle hydrangea is the hardiest hydrangea species as well as the most adaptable. It can also grow in part shade.
The panicle hydrangea produces white blooms in July that turn pinkish-red in September as fall approaches. The Tardiva cultivar (Hydrangea paniculata 'Tardiva,' zones 3-8) blooms from August to October, even later than the species plant. There is also a cultivar with pale green flowers called Limelight (Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight,' zones 3-8).
The cone-shaped panicles of this hydrangea are usually 6 to 8 inches in length. With heights of up to 12 feet, the panicle hydrangea is a good option for a hedge, according to the Missouri Botanical Garden, which notes that this species tolerates air pollution and is therefore suitable for urban settings.
Hydrangea Care and Culture
Hydrangeas do not like dry conditions and wilt without enough water, which can diminish their ability to bloom. Per the University of Massachusetts Amherst, hydrangeas need at least an inch of water a week and as much as 2 inches a week when temperatures are very hot. You can water hydrangeas until the ground is frozen, advises the UConn Home & Garden Education Center, but keep the leaves dry to prevent foliar diseases.
Applying a balanced fertilizer in the spring and again after the plant blooms is enough to keep hydrangeas performing well. Hydrangea species that produce flowers on new growth, such as the smooth hydrangea, can be cut all the way down to the ground in late winter or spring to reinvigorate the plant. According to the University of Minnesota Extension, species like the bigleaf hydrangea that produce flowers on both old and new growth will bloom whether or not you prune them.
