Like when he's just really hungry and wants his adobo.
1. The second he gets home from work.
This probably applies to anyone who just had a long day at the office. No one wants to get assaulted with questions before they even have time to take off their shoes and sit down.
2. When he was starving and is just sitting down for dinner.
Yes, dinner is traditionally a good time to talk, but also, I want my mouth to focus on eating a delicious steak or adobo. I just want my adobo.
3. When you're in bed.
A BED IS A PLACE YOU GO TO FALL ASLEEP. A BED IS NOT A PLACE YOU GO TO HAVE SERIOUS CONVERSATIONS THAT WILL KEEP US AWAKE FOR TWO HOURS AFTER THEY'RE OVER, THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
4. When you've both specifically agreed to watch a movie or TV show.
I just want to hear what Olivia Pope has to say. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!
5. When you start a conversation with, "I've been thinking..."
This means we're probably about to have an argument about something for which you've built up a great defense and we're going to be totally blindsided.
6. When you send him a blunt text.
"We need to talk" are the four second-scariest words in the English language. "You're going to die" is first.
7. When it's apparent this is going to be a story about eight of your coworkers he's never met.
We're 10 seconds in, and we've already lost track of who the major players are.
8. When he has headphones on.
Do not come in and just start talking, assuming he's going to take them off and ask you, "What?"
9. When he's in the bathroom.
This one is just weird. It doesn't matter what we're doing in there, but that is a time for peace.
10. When he just woke up.
IT IS 6 A.M. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON REMEMBERING HOW CEREAL WORKS.
Women love to have conversations and look at stuff. Guys just want to look at stuff quietly. We're very different, we guys.

Tennessee too much for Siena
PUBLISHED: November 27, 2008 at 1:48 p.m. | UPDATED: July 22, 2021 at 1:22 a.m.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — During its last trip to the state of Florida, all the Siena Saints did was win one of the biggest games in school history, knocking off Vanderbilt in the first round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament. So what did the Saints do for an encore in a return trip to the Sunshine State? They ran into another top team from the Southeastern Conference, No. 12 Tennessee, and played the Volunteers tough before falling, 78-64, in the opening game of the 2008 Old Spice Classic at Disney's Wide World of Sports outside Orlando. The Saints opened the game strong, taking a quick 4-0 lead and setting the tone for what would become a very physical game. But Tennessee (4-1) showed it's more than capable of banging inside, especially with one of the nation's best big men, Wayne Chism. Led by Chism the Vols fought back, grabbing a 17-15 lead with 10:57 remaining in the first half. But that's when the Saints went ice cold. Tennessee took advantage of an onslaught of missed shots by Siena (2-1) to mount an 18-0 run over the next five minutes an open a 35-15 lead. Siena's next basket wouldn't come until the 5:39 mark in the first half, when Ronald Moore hit a 17-foot jump shot. "We have to maintain our composure," Siena coach Fran McCaffery said after the game. "We lost our composure for one brief period — the last part of the first half we lost our composure and we can't do that, not against a team of this caliber." More frustration would ensue, as McCaffery received a technical foul with 4:21 left in the first half. The Saints went into the locker room at halftime trailing 47-27, but opened the second half on an 11-0 run to draw within nine at 47-38 with 16:20 remaining in the game. But that would be as close as the Saints would come the rest of the way, as Tennessee led by as much as 21 points midway through the second half. The cold shooting continued for the Saints in the second half, as the team finished with 24-of-65 from the field (36.9 percent) and just 1-of-15 from behind the three-point line. McCaffery said his team was getting good looks at the basket, the shots just weren't dropping. "We were taking shots we normally make," he said. "It wasn't like we were coming down one-on-four and pulling up for three with a guy in our face. We were open it just wasn't the time to be shooting three's, it was the time to be driving." The Saints were led by Alex Franklin, who had 17 points and nine rebounds. Ryan Rossiter was the game's top rebounder, pulling down 14 boards and adding 12 points. Tennessee was led by Chism, who finished with 15 points, six rebounds and three assists. Even though his team walked away with a double-digit victory over the Saints, Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said he sees a bright future for Siena. "They're going to have a great year, that's a really good basketball team," Pearl said. "That's an NCAA Tournament team." The 2008 Old Spice Classic continues today from Disney's Wide World of Sports. The Saints will open tournament play today with a match-up against Wichita State at 10:30 a.m. on ESPNU.

4th Avenue Theatre owners say demo permit is for interior maintenance work
Friday, December 14th 2018, 5:48 PM AKST
By: Bryan Dunagan
By: Lauren Maxwell
A demolition permit has been issued to the owners of the 4th Avenue Theater, according to the Municipality of Anchorage.
The work description reads, "Complete demo down to foundation walls."
The permit was issued to Peach Investments, which owns the building, and to a company named Central Environmental Inc. The municipality's website shows that two reviews for the permit were completed on Dec. 10 and 11.
But Derrick Chang, whose parents own Peach Investments, said the company has no plans to tear down the historic theater at this time.
Chang said the permit is needed to do interior maintenance work in the building to include repairs to plumbing and heating systems. He said the building will also be inspected for earthquake damage to see if additional repairs may be needed to ensure the building is structurally sound.
Chris Schutte, director of Economic and Community Development for the municipality, confirmed the city had issued Peach a new demolition permit that is good for one year. Schutte added that "a demolition permit is very generic and very broad: it covers demolition of portions of a structure."
Schutte said that would include the interior maintenance work as described by Chang, but could also include the complete demolition of the building.
In order to demolish the theater, Schutte said the company would need to obtain additional permits, such as a Right of Way permit to close the sidewalk during demolition or a Traffic Permit to close down the lane next to the theater for trucks to haul rubble away.

Sex trafficking bill gets tech firms' backing
Brian SanchezNovember 6, 2017Blog
The internet's most powerful companies say they will support new measures that seek to prevent online sex trafficking.
The Internet Association, which counts Facebook, Google and Amazon among its members, had at first said the proposed US law could hurt innovation.
But in a statement released on Friday the group said it was satisfied with "important changes" made to the bill.
US senators are expected to hold an initial vote on the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (Sesta) next week.
"This important bill will hold online sex traffickers accountable and help give trafficking survivors the justice they deserve," said Senator Robert Portman of Ohio, one of the bill's authors.
"I'm pleased we've reached an agreement to further clarify the intent of the bill and advance this important legislation."
Technology companies had been opposed to the bill because of changes it would have made to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, enacted in 1996.
The section represents a pillar of internet law – one which protects internet companies from the actions of its users. For example, if a person uses YouTube to break the law by showing something illegal, the user, and not YouTube, is held legally responsible. The Internet Association argued that this framework meant fledgling companies were not burdened by huge, perhaps insurmountable legal risk.
'Important changes'
The compromise that finally got the technology companies on board, after going back-and-forth since August, relates to whether a site is "knowingly" aiding traffickers on their platform. The bill now clarifies that a site needs to be "assisting, facilitating or supporting" human trafficking in order to face prosecution.
"Internet Association is committed to combating sexual exploitation and sex trafficking online and supports Sesta," said Internet Association President Michael Beckerman on Friday.
"Important changes made to Sesta will grant victims the ability to secure the justice they deserve, allow internet platforms to continue their work combating human trafficking, and protect good actors in the ecosystem."
Amanda Hightower, executive director at Seattle-based Real Escape from the Sex Trade (Rest), told the BBC she welcomed the news.
"With the bulk of trafficking happening over the internet, it's essential we have legislation and safeguards in place to protect victims and reduce the risk of people being sold online," she said.
"Knowing that internet giants are now joining forces with legislators to reduce the potential of trafficking gives me hope that we are heading in the right direction to stop this crime and that those who facilitate trafficking online will be held responsible."
Wording 'still too vague'
The rewritten components will protect companies that take pro-active measures to remove advertisements that enable trafficking and the sale of sex, but will pave the way for prosecutors to more effectively go after sites that allegedly allow such activity to flourish.
In the crosshairs of US law enforcement is Backpage.com, a site described by California prosecutors as a "massive online brothel" that actively encourages the sale of sex through its listings website. Backpage.com did not return the BBC's request for comment on Friday.
Despite the changes, some corners of the technology community are still concerned about the bill's effects. Engine, a non-profit group that pushes the interests of start-ups in Washington, said the new wording was still too vague.
"While the bill sponsors have made improvements to some of the drafting problems in the original language, the changes do not address many of the startup community's concerns," said Rachel Wolbers, Engine's policy director.
"The bill still creates uncertainty for platforms regarding their obligations under the law and potentially penalises startups for content that they are unaware of and cannot control."

A Kentucky bourbon maker is issuing a new commemorative bottle honoring the 1997-98 Kentucky men's basketball national championship team, known as the "Comeback Cats."
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky bourbon maker is issuing a new commemorative bottle honoring the 1997-98 Kentucky men's basketball national championship team, known as the "Comeback Cats."
UK Athletics said in a news release it has joined with Maker's Mark and Keeneland with a goal of raising $2 million for the Center for Academic and Tutorial Services for Kentucky student-athletes. More than $1.5 million have been raised.
The bottle that goes on sale April 6 is the fourth in the series. A bottle signing will be held at Keeneland on April 13. Tickets are required and available online .
The first three bottles honored Kentucky's first six national championships. Next year's bottle will complete the series to benefit the program, which serves students from all of the school's 22 varsity sports teams.


In an interesting interview, Rupert Murdoch speaks on the decision to put all News Corp. Web sites behind paywalls.
Pejorative remarks about Murdoch's holding's aside, he's obviously right — it costs a lot of money for good reporting. The Maine Campus is a tiny newspaper in comparison to a national standard bearer like The New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, and we still have a very large budget. It costs unbelieveable amounts to send writers and photographers to dangerous places — the cost of insurance, travel, top-notch equipment and, of course, enough of a paycheck to make it worth their while.
The problem, though, is that there are few newspapers that provide that sort of reporting. The Times and the Journal are the two most notable; The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post offer some international reporting, but not on the same scale. Most small newspapers — and oftentimes the bigger ones, too — get their international reporting exclusively from wire services, specifically The Associated Press.
In fact, it isn't even about international reporting. In the age of scrim and save, newspapers that once had national bureaus are cutting them or turning them over to interns. Many local newspapers fill a good 50 percent, minimum, with wire copy. Some papers even use the wire for local coverage. Just to be clear: I don't mean to excoriate the AP. That post will come at a later date.
The point is, papers that rely heavily on the use of wire content will not be able to survive behind a paywall. You can't charge readers for content that isn't 100 percent yours. It's too easy to search Google for a topic and find a free site to go to with the exact same story.
The only way it will work is if all newspapers band together and agree to construct one giant paywall, which of course isn't going to happen. Short of that, the only papers for which a paywall is feasible are the truly unique papers: the ones with less than 1 percent of their content from wire sources. The other 999,998 newspapers will have to find some other way to survive.
There will be much, much more to come on this.
P.S. Does anybody else think Murdoch is going to die any second now?
« Financial independence: How much is it really worth?


Next time you are in The Upper House, Hong Kong, you may notice an elegantly dressed young man quietly observing the scene. For Andre Fu, the founder of AFSO Designs and the visionary behind this boutique hotel likes to pop in occasionally to check that his creation is working.
It's a refreshing take in a profession where often the finished product is a form of art gallery to be admired rather than a workable space to be lived in. Fu clearly understands the difference between the two – as we speak, we are sitting in an art gallery in Central designed by him where he's launching his latest venture.
Although only 35, the Hong Kong born designer is bringing out A Bespoke Journey, a coffee table book featuring highlights of his impressive portfolio to date. "When I was approached about the book, I'd been in the industry for ten years. The timing was right for a small celebration," he says with trademark understatement.
He's referring to the stone entranceway (suggestive of curtains being drawn back) and driveway, all designed by his hand as is everything inside the hotel. Unusually, he is able to tackle all elements of a project – from the structure of a building to the minute aesthetic details – playing the role of architect, interior designer and art curator all at once. "I'm architecturally trained but professionally I'm working on an interior design platform. I've recently been asked to create a 52 storey residential tower though so from that to a carpet collection, it's quite a broad spectrum!" he laughs.
The scale of The Upper House is even more remarkable considering that Fu was only 30 when he took it on. "At the time I was entrusted with the project I was quite young so for Swire [the company that owns The Upper House] to give me the opportunity was a big commitment on their part." There can be little doubt that they are not as thrilled with the result as he was with the commission.
The hotel has a luxurious, modern Asian style that feels soothingly tranquil. You are greeted by a striking use of charcoal coloured stone and honey hued wood – Fu's two favourite materials to work with. The air of serenity throughout comes from both the proportions and the neutral palate using sandstone, marble, bamboo, nickel and bronze with only an occasional flash of subtle colour – mineral blue and tea green – introduced through the fabrics.
Fu is seemingly as calm as the designs he creates. He considers each question carefully before answering in a languid but precise way. He says he didn't grow up in a design or art focused family but was always drawing as a child (his concept sketches, some of which are included in the book, are exquisite) and knew what he wanted to be at 13 years old.
Having been educated from the age of 14 at the prestigious London school St Paul's and studied for his architecture degree at Cambridge, he has the polite manner and the look – smart jeans and shoes with open collared checked shirt and blazer – of an English public school boy. He's aware there's an irony to him being held up as a poster boy for Asian design. "My understanding and knowledge of the West is probably much better than that of the East but I'm presented as someone with this Asian DNA," he smiles. "My time in the UK has definitely had an influence on me on a cultural level. Going to the Southbank art galleries was a weekend ritual for me and it was the beginning of the East London art movement.
"Increasingly though I've been seen as someone who embodies Eastern understanding of design. The Upper house is a good example. It's not literally Eastern but the sensitivity is there." Indeed, the atrium designed to mimic the mechanism of a Chinese umbrella and the shimmering bamboo light pendants in the hotel's acclaimed Cafe Gray Deluxe restaurant, are some of the subtle Oriental touches.
And his consideration of local influences is evident in his designs across Asia. From the intricate installations mimicking Japanese paper art at Nadaman restaurant in Tokyo to the liberal use of brightly coloured (or as brightly coloured as it gets with Fu's design) silks at Silipa Thai in Chiang Mai.
Despite designing homes for several Hong Kong celebrities, including actress Michelle Yeoh, he no longer takes on private residences. "My passion is on the hospitality front. It's much more interactive." The rich and famous' loss is our gain – long may he continue with his public space quest so that he we are all able to enjoy his designs.

A lot of entrepreneurs start out small, and more often than not, they do not usually know what to do after establishing their business. There is the matter of advertising and marketing, and enticing clients to check out their products and services. While word-of-mouth marketing is effective and print ads are powerful, you also have to consider listing your business in a Canadian business directory.
What is Canadian Business Directory ?
A Canadian business directory is a list of all businesses in Canada. This guide is posted online to help interested clients search for a particular product. While others are quick to say they don't need to be part of a Canadian business directory to boost their business, a lot of entrepreneurs actually attest to the many benefits that being part of a Canadian business directory can bring for a business, whether big or small.
A Canadian business directory also helps establish links with you and other networks. Know that not only clients look up business directories. Sometimes, other businesses search for potential partners to team up with. For example, a makeup artist may post in the directory and wait for a call from a wedding expo or from wedding organizers. Another example is for the owner of a vape business. He or she could use the directory to search for suppliers of plastic bottles and other materials for selling e-cigarettes.
What's more, being listed in a directory gives authority, integrity, and credibility to your website. It makes you legit because you will only be listed if your business is real.
Potential and current clients will also appreciate it if they can easily see the information about your business. Imagine in the past when clients had to make a lot of effort just to contact the owner of the business. These clients had to search manually, without the aid of the Internet. Now, they can gain access to the establishment's office or company address, telephone and mobile number, and other pertinent information by just looking up the company in a Canadian business directory.
Another benefit of business directories is that it is a cost-effective way of link-building. You don't have to spend so much on marketing. In fact, those who have their businesses listed even get links that could be shared on social media. This is really helpful, especially if you are struggling to gather more clients. As they say, a Web page without links is like an uncharted island. It would be a waste to prepare a lot concerning your business and yet having only a handful of people know about it.
This is the purpose of any business directory. Aside from giving your website and business credibility, it takes you closer to your clients. The directory is a simple and systematic way of getting more customers without having to shell out a ton of money.
Lastly, a business directory creates a special network of similar businesses. Though essentially you are in a stiff competition, in some cases this network proves valuable as well. There would be times when you would want to venture and merge with other establishments. If this is one of your plans in the future, a business directory can help you with that.

GOP Congressman Bashes Trump For Praising Kim Jong Un On Memorial Day
Posted on May 26, 2019 by oldpoet56
(TRUMP PRAISES MASS MURDERER KIM JONG UN ON MEMORIAL DAY!)
(The Idiot Coward in Chief strikes again)(oped: oldpoet56)
Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (IL) on Sunday called out President Donald Trump for bashing former Vice President Joe Biden and praising North Korean "dictator" Kim Jong Un on Memorial Day weekend.
Trump touted his relationship with Kim Jong Un and took aim at Biden, who officially announced his 2020 presidential bid as a Democrat last month, in a tweet while in Japan on a state visit this weekend. "North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me," the president tweeted on Saturday. "I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that's sending me a signal?"
The president initially misspelled Biden's name in a former version of the tweet that has since been deleted.
In response, Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran who served twice in Iraq, called the president's comments "just plain wrong" in a tweet on Sunday. "It's Memorial Day Weekend and you're taking a shot at Biden while praising a dictator. This is just plain wrong," the GOP congressman wrote, alongside a quoted retweet of the president's statement.

Andrew Bates, director of rapid response for Biden's 2020 campaign, fired back at Trump shortly after the president's tweet was shared. "Given Vice President Biden's record of standing up for American values and interests, it's no surprise that North Korea would prefer that Donald Trump remain in the White House," he said.
The president's comments come as he arrived in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday with first lady Melania Trump to hold talks with the country's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and meet the new emperor, Naruhito.
North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency last week published commentary labelling Biden a "snob lacking even the most basic qualities of a human being, much less a politician." The North Korean propaganda outlet also echoed Trump's frequent description of Biden as a "low-IQ individual," by referring to the Democratic presidential candidate as "an idiot with a low IQ."
The nation's criticisms of Biden came after the former Vice President condemned Trump's friendly relationship with Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin during a campaign event. "Are we a nation that embraces dictators and tyrants like Putin and Kim Jong Un?" Biden said.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders admitted that the Trump administration and Pyongyang both hold similar feelings about Biden during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday Morning.
"I think [Trump and Kim Jong Un] agree in their assessment of former Vice President Joe Biden," she said during a discussion with host Chuck Todd. "The president doesn't need somebody else to give him an assessment of Joe Biden. He's given his own assessment a number of times. I think you've seen it. I'm sure you've covered it on your program. The president watched him and his administration with President Obama fail for eight years."

A photo-shopped display of your ignorance does NOTHING for YOU! Not a single soul who matters even looked at that photo, much less came to a conclusion about YOUR worth!
A bunch of tolls here can't grasp that the Art of War (Sun Tzu) would praise the president all over the place for his dedication to "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". When you criticize the President, you put on display your utter ignorance of strategic diplomacy. Try that with YOUR enemies!

Councils, Cabildo and Ashotel agree €30m to be spent on Tenerife "renovations" in 2014-15
Some €30m will be invested in Tenerife throughout 2014-15 to continue the regeneration of the main tourist areas. The injection of funds will be possible thanks to an agreement between the Cabildo, the ayuntamientos of Santiago del Teide, Adeje, Arona and Puerto de la Cruz, and the hoteliers' association Ashotel. President of Tenerife Carlos Alonso said that Tenerife was a national "reference point" in this type of agreement, which would see streets, beaches and other tourist spaces regenerated. He stressed that between 2007 and 2013 some €63.8m had already been spent on improvements in the four municipalities which, between them, accounted for some 90% of tourist beds in the island.
In Arona, the planned renovations will amount to an expenditure of some €4m covering five projects: parking spaces in Avenida Rafael Puig and the City Center plaza, the football grounds, Boulevard Chayofa, and landscaping for the TF1 border and junction 28 (Las Américas). In Adeje, money will be allocated to Calle Unterhacing in El Duque (the road down to the beach), the access to La Caleta from Fañabé, and the second phase of Calle Londres, works also amounting to €4m.
In Puerto de la Cruz, where investment of €2.7m will be made, works will be carried out to extend Calle de La Hoya, renovate the San Telmo promenade, and Calle Quintana (where the Hotel Monopol is). In Santiago del Teide, improvements will be made to plaza Bouganvilla, the mirador de Los Gigantes, the second phase of playa de los Guíos and the first phase of playa de La Arena. The total for Santiago del Teide's works will amount to just under €3m.
Beaches, including Martiánez in Puerto de la Cruz, will see a total investment of €5,1m, whereas the Los Tarajales beach in Los Cristianos will be allocated €11.7m, and will involve a complete change of image for Los Cristianos bay. This project, said Sr Alonso, depended on agreement from the department of Costas, but the money was there ready to start at the point Costas gave the go-ahead.
Previous Post: Windsurfer missing off El Médano
Next Post: Cyclist in critical condition in Candelaria hospital after collision with car in El Tanque
Los Tarajales development must be the longest running promise in the history of Los Cristianos. On past form this redevelopment/ landscaping will still be on the ' to be done ' list 20 years from now. Manyana never had a truer meaning. It is not just the beach but the whole surrounding area. Dogs toilet around the Peacock villa. The pavements etc around the base of Guaza are a crumbling eyesore. The unoccupied shop fronts by the Sunday market despoiled by grafitti. There is a theory called broken windows..Leave one and others will become broken until eventually they are all broken and a neighbourhood falls into dereliction. Replace the window and it stops the rot in its tracks. The Los Tarajales area definitely has 'broken windows' and it is obvious to anyone that bit by bit the broken window theory is taking hold.
Redevelopment and landscaping here is long long overdue. The funding would appear to be in place. Just DO IT.
So Arona are to get 4m for car parks,football parks & the Motoway boarders I am glad Ashotel think this is more important than safe guarding the Tourists on their beaches or paying the lifegaurds

Meanwhile, the IGP has set up a Committee to liaise with the family with a view to giving him a befitting burial. A condolence register has also been opened at the Force Headquarters in Abuja for sympathisers.
Reacting to the death, a former IG of Police, and Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Mr Mike Okiro, described the late Adewusi as an "icon of democracy, who left a lot of legacies in the police; noting that it was during his time the Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), was introduced in the police.
The Federal Capital Territory's Commissioner of Police, Mr Wilson Inalegwu, said Adewusi left an indelible mark in the force.

Formerly one of the most prevalent Saharan gazelles, this antelope is the largest gazelle species. Extinct in much of its original range, the addra, or dama gazelle, is now a critically endangered species living in small fragmented herds of 10-20, likely comprising a total population of well less than 250 individuals.
During the wet season, they migrate north to the Sahara where, historically, they aggregated in herds of several hundred. In the dry season, they return to the Sahel or dry land of Africa in their smaller groups.
Hunting has been the major cause of decline, especially after the introduction of motorized vehicles and high-powered rifles. Addra habitat has become much more arid in recent years due to climate change. Overgrazing by livestock has also contributed to habitat deterioration.
The addra gazelle is diurnal and requires more water than its desert neighbors, although it can survive long periods of drought. They are highly nomadic, ranging extensively in search of food and water. They may stand on their hind legs in order to reach leaves above normal browsing height.


A Stotra is a prayer, hymn or ocelot in praise of a deity. The Stotra has a certain set of fixed rules which are bound by tradition. A Stotra can be in the form of an Astakams, which is an eight verse rhyming prayer or a Namavali like Sahasranama which means thousand names of a deity.
Stotras are very popular forms of worship amongst Hindus all over the world.Stotras are also called Stotrams.

Complete with a limited edition bikini bag.
Ideal for dry to medium skin.
A moisturising liquid foundation formulated with a Deep Sea Hydrating Complex to leave dry, parched skin feeling replenished and radiant. Enriched with a special blend of Deep Sea Water, botanicals and over 20 ocean minerals, the foundation blends effortlessly onto skin, creating a more even-toned canvas while soothing and revitalising. Long-wearing and silky, the makeup will leave skin looking perfected and virtually pore-less. For medium, warm undertones. Paraben free.
A loose mineral blush with buildable coverage. Perfect for adding a flush of natural-looking colour to cheeks, the blusher lays down a subtle hue to add warmth and radiance to the complexion. Packaged with a sifter component for dispensing the perfect amount of product for zero waste and mess.

Tamron Announces Lenses, USB Configuration Tool
Tamron has announced two new prime lenses as part of its premium lens line. Like the first two lenses in this series, the SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD and SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD, which were released together last September, the new pair of lenses are very close together in focal length—85mm and 90mm—but serve different functions, with the 85mm featuring a wide aperture for portraiture and the 90mm focusing close to capture macro images.
The SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD features a wide aperture and a classic short telephoto lens, two aspects sought after by portrait photographers. Unlike most lenses of this type, Tamron's take on the 85mm includes optical image stabilization, which helps photographers capture sharper images in difficult light and is also a boon for handheld videography. It's not the first 85mm f/1.8 to feature stabilization—the Zeiss Batis 85/1.8 has it as well—but the Batis is for the Sony mirrorless system, not for traditional SLRs.
The 85mm lens includes Low Dispersion and Extra Low Dispersion glass elements, which help it capture images that are both crisp and minimize unwanted color fringing effects. The front element is protected by a Fluorine Coating, which repels water droplets so you don't have to clean your lens as frequently when shooting in inclement weather.
The minimum focus distance is 31.5 inches, measured from the front element rather than the image sensor, which gives the 85mm a rather unimpressive 1:7.2 magnification ratio at its closest focus distance. It measures 3.6 by 3.3 inches (HD), supports 67mm front filters, and weighs 1.5 pounds. Tamron will offer the lens for Canon, Nikon, and Sony SLRs. Canon and Nikon mounts are shipping in April, with the Sony mount to come to market at a later date. Pricing is not yet set.
If you prefer the versatility that a close-focusing macro lens delivers, you'll be more interested in the SP 90mm f/2.8 Di VC USD 1:1 Macro. It doesn't capture as much light as the 85mm f/1.8 when shot wide open, but you'll still be able to blur the background behind your subject when shooting at f/2.8. Its stabilization system is a bit more robust than the average lens, adding an accelerometer that stabilizes it along the x-y plane in addition to the standard pitch and yaw correction.
Like the 85mm, the 90mm Macro features Fluorine coating on its front element. Its switches and lens mount have seals to protect against dust and moisture, making it an all-weather solution when paired with a camera that's also sealed. The minimum working distance from the front element is 11.8 inches, so you do have some distance between camera and subject when shooting at 1:1 magnification. It's a bit longer than the 85mm—the 90mm measures 4.6 by 3.1 inches, supports 62mm front filters, and weighs 1.3 pounds.
The lens is set to ship this month in Canon and Nikon mounts. A Sony version will ship at a later date. It's priced at a very reasonable $649.
In addition to the lenses, Tamron is bringing what it's calling the TAP-in Console to market. It's similar in concept and function to the Sigma USB Dock in that it allows photographers to connect lenses to a PC or Mac to adjust focus calibration, customize focus limiter settings and stabilization behavior, and more. It's compatible with the new 85mm and 90mm lenses, as well as the SP 35mm and 45mm. But you'll need to send the 35mm and 45mm in for a factory firmware update in order to get them working with the dock.
The TAP-in Console doesn't have a price yet, but it will ship in March.

Phase 1: Teal/Blue
Phase 2: Green/Yellow
Phase 3: Purple/Red South
Phase 4: Orange/Red North
Ultimately, this is less than 180mi, as most of the lines share good portions of track. By track-mile, it's closer to 140mi.
[–]trainmaster611 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (2 children)
I realize it's a fantasy light rail map but I'll give you my criticism anyway (which I admittedly only put cursory consideration into). Also, I've never been to Las Vegas so I'm not familiar with the locale so much other than what I've read on the internet and my occasional browsing on google maps. Given the way Las Vegas is laid out though, it's hard to make any kind of effective mass transit system. Here are some points:
1)The first thing I noticed is that a lot of the lines are unnecessarily meandering especially in the area of the Las Vegas Strip/Airport. I'm sure that can be streamlined given the number of lines that pass through.
2) I can't ever imagine there would be a time when any kind of rail transportation would be necessary to provide loop service in such a low density city. It just seems silly, and you can get to most of your destinations by connecting at downtown/the strip. A feeder bus system with more radial mass transit lines makes more sense.
3) Everything is WAY overextended to the point that you have lines going out into the desert. It's hard enough to attract riders in low density areas, let alone areas where there are no people. If you put lines there because you're expecting development, that development is just going to be more of the low-density type where people won't be taking transit to begin with. It's just not a good bet.
4) There's a lot of redundancy here that isn't necessary for a city of this caliber. I notice this in the strip and Henderson.
[–]Detached09[S] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child)
I think the Strip needs a lot of transit. Tourists are generally complaining about the lack of mass transit, even though there are 3-4 lines running down the strip. There's a lot of people in a small area there.
1) As far as meandering, and I'm open to further discussion on this, most of the lines were meant to connect at the major transit centers. Mostly, South Strip, North Strip, and Downtown. That's why they cut in/out of LVB (The Strip) like they do. The airport needs a bit of a zig just because of how it's laid out. Like I said, I'm open to suggestion, but we can't go underground (something about the soil, it's been a while since I read the article. I think it's too loose.)
2) As far as the loop service, you're probably right. I was thinking the loop was more 4 distinct lines (N,S,E,W) to connect to different areas in the valley. Now that I think about it, that could be moved to a later phase.
3) If you're looking at the map view, a lot of 'desert' isn't really desert anymore. Granted, shortening the lines a few miles in each direction might not hurt except with the Blue Line (Las Vegas Motor Speedway) on race weeks. And other lines could be more centrally focused at first and expanded later.
4) Like I said. Redundancy is important on the strip. As is, we have too many tourists and too little mass trans.
Thank you for your feedback. I will eventually edit into my map. (Not today. It's bedtime.)
[–]traal 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children)
The strip needs a total redesign from the way it is today. It's pretty much a failure for either walking or driving. Las Vegas Boulevard needs to go below grade through the strip.
Fix that, and there would be less of a need for transit.
[–]mrpopenfresh 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
I'm not familiar with Las Vegas too much, mind explaining the rationale behind the line placement?
[–]ccommack -1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (2 children)
Ex-Vegas resident here. Is this your first time fantasy mapping? You have some good starts here, but also some problems that I'm not sure how to advise on, since it's not clear what your goal here is. A proposal for a real-world feasible plan? A plan for what to do with infinite construction dollars? Road widening by stealth? (Don't laugh.)
So, in no particular order, my thoughts on this map.
Any plan for Vegas needs to start with the Las Vegas Blvd. corridor, and you passed that test. The present service there is a local bus (The Deuce)/express BRT (SDX/MAX) pair, which each have a different routing than you have here, especially downtown. Why did you choose to stick to Main St. through downtown, instead of using the dedicated busway that is more centrally located? Why not duplicate the SDX's detour to hit the Convention Center and the Hilton?
The key destinations downtown are: 1. The Fremont Street casinos, 2. the Justice Center and related government/law-related offices centered around Clark St., and 3. the new brownfield developments around the ex-UP yards along Grand Central Parkway. Redirect your Rancho Dr. Red Line to Alta Dr./Bonneville Ave. to serve Downtown directly (including reusing the existing RTC infrastructure), instead of barely nicking the corner. You can then continue south on Maryland Pkwy. to hit UNLV and the Airport.
Orbital lines like your Green Line are nice to look at but are generally terrible in practice. Split it up into straight-line or U-shaped corridors.
If you're going that far out Boulder Highway through Henderson, then why not hop over the hill to Boulder City? Driving to/from Boulder City is onerous enough that decent transit service should be attractive.
Think about having your routes on non-commercial corridors like Warm Springs or West Twain, for walk-up ridership.
LOL Laughlin. That's my reaction whenever Laughlin comes up, but, LOL Laughlin.
There is an unused transit ROW in the Airport Tunnel. In case you didn't know. No need to go around the airport when serving it, then running through, is an option.
I assume you're double tracking this? Then your system should come closer to 280 track-miles.
[–]Detached09[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child)
I have both a Main and a LVB track through downtown, if you look closer. Also, I haven't changed this since the Bonneville Transit Center was completed. I chose Main and LVB because they're pretty much as close to central as can be through downtown. I generally forget how important the LVH and Convention Center are. I'll edit them into the map.
Not a bad idea.
Can you give me some suggestions on this? You aren't the first that's suggested it.
Downtown Henderson is quite a way from Boulder City. At least for the initial segment, it's not practical. Especially through Railroad Pass.
How realistic is this? Most cities seem to have routes on major streets.
Laughlin? I didn't realize that line was on this map. Whoops.
Wasn't aware of the airport ROW. Where is this?
Double tracking? As in, one track in each direction? Yes. That was the intention.
3) I would start with just a KISS grid of parallel lines, N/S on Eastern, Rainbow, and Durango, E/W on Cheyenne or Lake Mead (don't know that part of town very well, sorry), Sahara, Trop, and Warm Springs. Pick other corridors if you want, and deviate where necessary to hit a major destination that would otherwise be unserved, especially out on the periphery.
4) Yes, it's quite a ways; 11 miles, by my reckoning. In comparison, Downtown Henderson to Downtown Las Vegas is about 13.5 miles. But your line doesn't end at Lake Mead Parkway (the cross street I am using for Downtown Henderson), it ends 3.5 miles farther south. But you are right, Boulder City is a later stage.
The good news is that there's existing infrastucture available for adaptive reuse: the ex-UP railroad line that gives Railroad Pass its name. It's currently used by the Nevada State Railroad Museum/Nevada Southern Railway for excursions between Boulder City and Railroad Pass on weekends, has plenty of room for passing sidings or a second track, and is (according to Google Satellite) physically severed from the UP near Paradise Hills Drive. All you need is a grade separation from the 93 in Railroad Pass, which RTC seems to want to do anyway. The UP built the Boulder City Branch to haul heavy freight, which usually means grades of no more than 1%; modern LRT can handle 6-7%. Even if the ex-UP track were unavailable, there's still room in Railroad Pass for another ROW; it wouldn't be much fun, but it's definitely there.
5) No less realistic than any of this; it's certainly technically feasible to run LRT down these streets, since in Las Vegas even a minor arterial is still 5-7 lanes.
7) The connector tunnel between the airport and the 215 has a third, unused tunnel, in between the northbound and southbound tunnels, designed for use by a future transit or people mover line. (You only want to dig under the active runways at McCarran once.) Here's the south portal of the tunnel, from the northbound lanes. The transit tunnel is sealed off but clearly visible.

Session Law 2013-189, signed June 26, 2013, gave North Carolina the following state symbols: state fossil, state frog, state salamander, state marsupial, state folk art, and state art medium.
The change was proposed under house bill 830 and was sponsored by Representatives Susan Martin, Pat McElraft, Roger West, Jonathan Jordan, Nathan Ramsey and Rena Turner.
The Virginia Opossum is the only marsupial native to North Carolina. European explorers first encountered the animal upon their arrival to the Americas. In 1612, early settler John Smith described the Virginia Opossum as having "the head of a pig, the tail of a rat, the size of a cat with baggage under her belly where she carries and suckles her young." It is currently classified as game and as a fur bearing animal, and is frequently harvested for food, fur, and sport.
The possum is typically 21 to 36 inches long, weighing from four to fifteen pounds. Each of their four feet have five toes. While the first four toes have claws, the fifth functions similarly to a thumb and allows the possum to grab objects. Their fur can range from a light gray to extremely dark. They have fifty teeth, more than any other American Mammal.
Virginia opossums are omnivores and will eat anything available to them, including garbage. They prefer woodlands, but are extremely adaptable and will live in nearly any habitat within their ecological range. They can be found throughout North Carolina, and range from Southern Canada, through much of the United States and Mexico, all the way down to Northern Costa Rica. Possums are good at climbing, swimming, and running. Being primarily nocturnal, they are most active at night and will typically sleep in a den during the day.
The Opossum will have up to two litters a year. One to fifteen babies might be born, though typically only four to seven survive. The young weigh only 0.13 grams when they are born, but by the time they are 100 days old, they will weigh over 130 grams. Young stay in their mother's pouch for the first 55 days of their life, then will come out for short periods. They travel either in the pouch or on the mother's back until they are 85 days old. They will eventually leave the mother and live on their own at around 100 days old. Virginia Opossums live 1-2 years on average.

Luxembourg is to test the waters for rolling out fifth generation mobile networks, known as 5G, in Belval and Kirchberg, among other places, in 2020.
In addition to parts of Kirchberg and Belval, the CFL multimodel centre in Dudelange, the automotive campus in Bissen and a frequently congested section of road are being considered for the pilot phase, the government revealed in a press statement.
According to the government, the networks will play an essential role in national infrastructure, enabling the next wave of productivity and innovation in different sectors of the country's economy.
The pilot forms part of Luxembourg's 5G strategy, which follows the European 5G roadmap.

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of destination attractiveness of the Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area (SSNHA) in Iowa using the relative attractiveness and importance of the 15 attributes identified by Gearing, Swart, and Var's (1974) scale and 3 attributes identified by Hu and Ritchie (1993). These attributes represent the overall destination attractiveness of the Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area (SSNHA) in Iowa. This study focused on the perspective of visitors and tourism experts.
Fishbein's (1967) multi-attribute model was used to determine the attitudes and preferences of the participants. The model is used to measure overall destination attractiveness. To identify the characteristics of destination attractiveness, 18 attributes of destination attractiveness were generated and modified from previous studies. Six statistical methods were used to analyze the data by Excel 2007 and SPSS 18.0 as follows: frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, factor analysis, independent t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis test.
Data for this study were collected using SurveyMonkey.com during the first week of the December, 2011 through the second week of February, 2012. The e-mail invitations included a web link for the survey and were sent to 400 visitors and 107 representatives of the SSNHA. The response rate was 43.25% (N= 173 visitors) and 48.59% (N= 52 representative) respectively.
This research found that an attitude toward tourists (local congeniality and treatment of tourists) ranked first for both attractiveness and importance by visitors and the representatives of the SSNHA. Among visitors, emerging from the 18 total attributes were four attractiveness and four importance factors. Between the representatives, four attractiveness and four importance factors emerged from the 18 total attributes.
This study indicated that visitors seek a nature-based atmosphere and a more rural setting in their travels through the SSNHA. Specifically, visitors sought beautiful landscapes, historical sites and museums, and history and culture that tell the story of past and present. Representatives of the SSNHA sought to explore agricultural heritage, education of past practices, as well as learn the history of the Midwest.
The results of this study provide significant messages that resident attitudes toward tourists are the most attractive and important attribute in the region. Importantly, residents in the community and professional staff members from the SSNHA could create stories that reflect the history of American agriculture and represent the people of the past and present.
This study used a large number of closed-ended questions as well as a few open-ended questions. Owing to the nature of this research, a quantitative method was used to analyze the data. Future studies need to embrace a variety of research approaches related to different methodologies in order to develop theoretical knowledge about destination attractiveness.

An S Corporation's Board of Directors' Compensation Vs. a Shareholder Distribution
By: Elizabeth Rayne, J.D.
Can Non Profit Organizations Have Paid Employees?
••• Goodshoot/Goodshoot/Getty Images
An S corporation is a "pass through" entity, and is taxed under the IRS code, Subchapter S. The corporation does not pay business income tax, and is taxed instead on the shareholders' personal tax returns. An S Corporation is usually a small corporation with a limited number of shareholders who also might serve as officers and directors for the corporation. For tax purposes, S Corporations must distinguish salaries from shareholder distributions, because the same person may receive both. Salaries are a business expense that must be reasonable in size, and the corporation will withhold taxes on the income. Conversely, shareholder distributions are a reflection of the profit made by the corporation, paid out after all other expenses.
Salaries for Shareholders and Directors
Shareholders may work for the company and may receive compensation as an employee. The shareholders also may decide to pay the directors a compensation, which would be considered salary. In instances in which the director is also a shareholder, his compensation as a director would come out of the company's gross income as a business expense. Because shareholder distributions are determined by the profit of the company after all business expenses are paid, employee or board income is paid out before any shareholders receive profit distributions.
Read More: S-Corp Shareholder Requirements
Compensation Requirements
The IRS requires shareholders who work for the corporation in any capacity to be paid a reasonable salary. Although the IRS does not have specific guidelines for salaries, it does list a number of factors that should be considered when determining reasonable compensation. These factors include training and experience, the job responsibilities, time devoted to the business, payments to non-shareholder employees, and what similar businesses pay for comparable services.
Pass Through Taxation
An S corporation is a pass through entity, which means that the corporation has elected to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and credit through to their shareholders for tax purposes. The shareholders report the flow through income on their personal tax returns, and are taxed at individual income tax rates. As a result, an S corporation avoids double taxation, meaning that the business does not pay corporate tax before the income goes to the shareholders. However, S corporations may still be responsible for state taxes, as well as federal taxes on certain built-in gains and on passive income.
Salary vs. Distribution
When an S corporation pays compensation to a director, or to any employee, this is treated as an expense for the corporation. Further, the corporation must comply with IRS regulations pertaining to wages. Generally, the corporation must withhold income tax, as well as part of social security and medicare taxes. Employers are also responsible for paying federal unemployment tax. Compensation and tax payments come out of the corporation's gross income. In contrast, shareholder distributions usually occur at the end of the year. After all expenses are paid, each shareholder receives a proportionate share of the profit or loss. A shareholder who is also a director, would receive her full distribution on top of any compensation she received for services rendered.
