Beautifully Delicious Apple & Watermelon Bubblelicious Bath & Shower Gel
I Think you all know that i love shower gel and i am always on the look out for a new discovery.
I do love Beautifully Delicious products as they all smell amazing and they have such a huge range of products and scents. I actually picked this shower gel up from Sainsburys for only £2.99 for 500ml so you get so much product for your money. To be honest the whole Beautifully Delicious range is really affordable.
How gorgeous is the bottle?? So sparkly!
The scent is just to die for..well for me anyway if you don't like the smell of watermelon then this isn't for you. Its really sweet and fresh. Its not really a winter scent so I'm not too sure as to why it is Limited Edition in the winter as i would swear by this product in the summer!! It really wakes me up in the morning.
This Limited Edition bath & shower gel is full to the brim with delicious ingredients that are just too good to eat! Lose yourself in mouthwatering extracts of juicy apple and succulent watermelon for a truly uplifting sensory sensation.
You can also get this product from the Beautifully Delicious Website

Vasenline NEW Lip Thearpy Sticks.
As soon as i heard Vaseline had released a stick form for their famous lip therapy i ran out the next day to buy one. This winter i have sworn by my Vaseline cocoa butter. In all fairness i have used it a lot for dry patches on my face so then wasn't happy using it on my lips as a lip balm however Vaseline must have heard my prayers and released a stick form :) I can now have smooth lips with the cocoa stick and smooth skin with the cocoa butter tin!!
They are available in Original, Rosy Lips, Aloe Vera and Cocoa Butter
Of course i picked up the cocoa butter but also can't wait to try the rosy lips.
These are just so handy to keep in your bag for during the day, or the evening to give your lips a shine and what with snow on its way again we all don't want to suffer with dry lips!!
Head down to your nearest Boots or Superdrug to pick up the new Vaseline Lip Therapy Sticks priced at only £1.99 they are a winter must have.

This is such a gorgeous colour but SUCH a nightmare to photograph!!
As you can see from the pictures it is showing up a deep blue when in actual fact is an amazing deep dark purple. The first image which i sourced off google shows you a little better that it is a lot more purple however i just could not get it to photograph. In the pictures i am only wearing one coat so the pigmentation is amazing. I seriously urge that you check this out in person next time your at a BarryM counter as its a gorgeous colour!

My New Love ♥ Sony Vaio
I think it is a bloggers worst nightmare when their laptop breaks. Yep it happened to me last week and it was the worst feeling in the world. How crazy is that though? It just shows how much a lot of us swear by our laptops.
So blogging has been on a bit of a hold for me as i had to decide what laptop i wanted, go ahead a buy it and then get it up and running with transferring all my data over. Its all done now and normal blogging will resume from today :)
So i was lucky enough to get a gorgeous bright pink Sony Vaio from my gorgeous boyfriend ♥
I have wanted a Sony Vaio for aggggges. I know a lot of people have and prefer Mac books but to be honest i would rather have something slightly different and more to my taste.
So this is where i will be blogging from now! Its all very exciting.
I have so much to blog about and lots of reviews to share with you. I have lots of gorgeous products from Xen-Tan, Phil Smith, Liz Earle, Tresemme, Ponds, Mint Cosmetics Uk and lots more so keep an eye out for those.
So who have i joined who the Sony Vaio group then hehe

The snow in the UK is causing chaos across most of the country and on Thursday my neck of the woods got hit with the white fluffy stuff :)

Widower of architect fatally struck by facade in Times Square sues city, building owner
A rendering of the Times Square Target.
The city and the owner of a 17-story Times Square building negligently let its shaky facade go unfixed for months before a piece of falling debris struck and killed an architect, a lawsuit filed by her widower charges.
Steven Tishman—husband of 60-year old Erica Tishman, who died in the incident in December—filed the suit Monday in state Supreme Court in Manhattan. It charges wrongful death and negligence against the city and Himmel & Meringoff Properties, the owner of the building in question, 729 Seventh Ave.
The building owner received an emergency citation for a shoddy facade—specifically its decorative terra cotta—in April 2019, which means it poses an imminent threat to public safety, but it did nothing to fix the problem.
In July 2019, the city issued a follow up violation against 729 Acquisition, the building management company also named in the suit, for neglecting to resolve the first one. At an administrative hearing in September, the city reduced the violation to a Class 2, which made it a major offense, rather than an immediate hazard. 729 Acquisition paid a $1,250 fine to the city, though there was no indication that they had fixed the building's issues—and the city did nothing to enforce the violation it had issued, Tishman charges in the suit.
As recently as June 30 this year, the exterior walls were still not up to code complaint, and the building had received $13,000 in fines.
Tishman’s death put the city’s building inspection and enforcement processes under scrutiny, and the Department of Buildings ramped up its inspection efforts. Meanwhile Himmel & Meringoff filed a lawsuit charging that a dispute over site access was to blame for holding up repairs.
Monday's lawsuit was not unexpected, said Linden Zakula, the company's spokesman, adding that Tishman's loss was tragic.
“ Zakula said.The city also offered its condolences to the Tishman family.
y.
Immediately after the incident, the city ordered Himmel & Meringoff to install a sidewalk shed to protect others from falling debris, which they began work on the same day. The city also doubled the number of facade inspectors it had on the ground to 22 and did a sweep of 1,300 buildings around the city; 222 violations were issued against them, the lawsuit said.
Buildings are also required to pass an exterior inspection every five years, according to the DOB. The Times Square property had not been inspected for seven years, the lawsuit alleges.
This also isn't the first time that Himmel & Meringoff had received violations for building exteriors. In 2017, the company received a $500 fine for eroded mortar and damaged bricks at 521 West 57th St. A year later, they paid a $2,500 fine for cracks in the exterior walls at 400 Eighth Ave. Just three days after Tishman's death, they received yet another emergency violation at 30 West 26th St. for failing to install sidewalk sheds and other safety measures. After three more days, the city slapped them with an additional emergency violation at 395 Park Avenue South, the complaint says.

Against my better judgement (ish) I splashed out and purchased a pair of winter boots. Annoyingly I was out when they were delivered, so now they are being REdelivered, with any luck they will arrive today and one of the many students who live near by will be in (fingers crossed).
I went for these. Low heel, but enough to give you a little lift. They are a tad bikery so I got them in suede, which tones it down a bit. I am a bit worried they will be too small, I read a couple for reviews that said they come up small, but the next size up was sold out so I'm just hoping. In other news, check out these beautiful books my boss leant me. They are genuine 1950s editions. Her Mother bought them whilst she was living in France. They have all been signed by owners past, and one has some notes written on the sleeve (I think who ever they were, must have been studying it). I had been banging on about how much I love reading, so she brought in a couple of hefty tomes too, these should keep me busy. Had a quick peek at Dr. Zhivago, it looks promising can't wait to get started, but I want to finish Barbara Pym's Excellent Women first. It's not a book I would have chosen for myself, but my Grandma gave it to me and she generally has pretty good taste. The best way I can describe it is Just William for adults. Pym is bang on the money in her portrayal of society, and quite humorous with it. Last time she visited she bought me Parrot and Olivier in America by Peter Carey. Again I probably wouldn't have picked this one out, but I'm quite looking forward to getting my nose between the leaves. She also gave me The Mabinogion, a nod to our Welsh heritage, which I'm looking forward to reading. The edition I have only has 2 stories, and a picture of a rather insipid looking damsel on the cover. The complete Mabinogion is a collection of 12, all taken from two older sources: The Red Book of Hergest, and The White Book of Rhydderch. As its so small it will make perfect lunchtime reading. I joined GoodReads a couple of months ago, and so far it has been great. I got sent a couple of books to review (free books!). One of the authors, Derek Murphy, sent ms a thank you. I was really touched by this as it was a book I had mentioned wanting to read.
At soem point I will get round to putting up reviews of all of these books, though it may take a while to get through them all! xXx

This is my graduation project from Iceland Academy of the Arts. I branded a fashion store in Reykjavík and therefore gave it the identity needed to thrive in a challenging market environment.
Most of the garments sold in the shop are exaggerated, quirky and fun, far from what could be considered traditional. I wanted this to be the focus point in the identity so I made a manifesto; “There’s nothing worse in life than being ordinary”
For this project I designed two typefaces. One is the quirky, bold and playful display typeface used in titles and headlines. The other one is the body text typeface. I designed two versions of that one, bold and regular.


Just, this one is closer to two hours), and I won’t show you all my original failed drafts, but I think I succeeded much better than I was afraid. As you know drawing people in realistic or semi-realistic styles is not exactly my forte.
Oh and she’s played by Liza Minnelli.


I am impressed with the way the stamps are packaged. The sets come in a container like SU uses, the stamps are nested in the rubber like SU but have the labels already affixed there is an acrylic sheet included that they cling to. The most impressive thing is their stamps REALLY stay stuck to my acrylic block so I can ink it without it falling in the pad or inked and falling off the block onto my cardstock. I didn't have to buy their acrylic blocks, just use ones I already had and was doing a 'happy dance' because these stamps stayed stuck to the block and my stamped image went where I wanted it stamped!
WHY CAN'T SU LEARN AND DO THE SAME?It is very frustrating to have to 'Gerry rig' their stamps to work like they are supposed to work. They include the labels so why don't the labels stay stuck to an acrylic block?
I know this subject has been 'hashed over" many times but if Amuse can do it, why can't SU?
So happy to hear that you were pleased with A Muse products and enjoyed your workshop!
Agree!SU has some images I just love, and the stamps cling just fine as long as you don't put the index sticker on. I'm used to stamping without the index image, but it irks me to then have those useless stickers Other companies besides Amuse also print the image on the cling - sweet heavens, I have some cheapo $1 Studio G clings with the image printed on the cling and they stick fine!I also have some old See-D's stamps where the cling is a printed sticker, and I have no problem with them sticking to the block (although they have no cushion; the sticker is stuck to the bare rubber). So, why can't SU make theirs work like they should?
I love SU stamps....but I don't use the stickers. I have never had a problem if I don't use the stickers. I tuck the stickers in the front cover....just in case I resell later and the next person wants them. They work fine without them and since I don't think the stickers help me with placement. I know....not the way they are intended to work but I do adjust. I love clear stamps and I am enjoying all the new ones SU is coming out with!My hope....a big PHOTOPOLYMER line in the future!DREAM!
I have complained to my demos (a buy from several) and they say at their meetings this subject comes up. COME ON-it's been several years now since SU released clear stamps and nothing has changed!
I agree whole heartedly.....I don't believe the stickers work. And I do think that there are other companies that make them better than SU, with that said, I like SU images. I recently did a demo survey and this is one of the points I made/ or suggestion. Will they listen.....
As a demo, I try to see the positive....but I can acknowledge what doesn't work as well. I love hearing feedback!And try to pass on whenever I can!I was happy to take the recent survey!
I love Amuse!that said, I really do like SU and HA, just not their cling stamps!
I don't have the inside story, but I'm going to guess that the SU sticker situation is a result of the company offering most of their stamp sets in both cling and wood. They likely have the cling and wood labels printed by the same machinery...just using different material. If they started printing right on the cling foam, they'd have to have one set of machines for those stamps, and another set for the wood labels. That would add to their costs, in so many ways...more machinery, larger factory, more workers. Although I'd LOVE to have the image printed on the cling foam, I wouldn't be happy about paying more for the stamps. As it is, I don't have trouble keeping most of the cling stamps on my blocks. The humidity (or lack thereof) and static levels in my house likely help me out, there. (I'm not very familiar with Amuse, since their products are not sold in Canada; do they offer the choice of cling or wood, too?
Even so, couldn't they have developed and tested material that would CLING better to the acrylic block?
Knock, knock-SU are you hearing and listening to what your customers are requesting?
I never thought about the process of how they are made....
I guess for me, if I had to chose between clear mount and polymer stamps...polymer would win out everytime ....for me!I am hoping they expand their product line in polymer!
I buy lots of SU, but I agree!Why in the world don't they fix this problem?I either leave the image off, which is silly to have to do or add a little Tombo and let it dry if I have the image in place.....EXACTLY......Gerry rigged!


Georgia in control for good:

Aside from a couple of incomplete lobs in the direction of freshman WR George Pickens (one of which came on the play just before Cager’s touchdown, in the opposite corner of the end zone), Fromm was wary of testing the Irish’s corners despite having multiple targets at his disposal capable of … well, see above. The Bulldogs don’t need him to put it in the air very often to get where they want to go, but in the biggest games, they do need it to count when he does. (Last week: 3)
4. Kelly Bryant, Missouri
Reminder: Kelly Bryant can run! After minimal contributions as a rusher in the Tigers’ first 3 games, Bryant broke out against South Carolina with 90 yards on 15 carries (not including sacks), a stat line more reminiscent of the dual-threat role he played at Clemson. That fits with Mizzou’s overall emphasis on balance: Any game that sees Bryant attempting 48 passes, as he did in the season-opening loss at Wyoming, is not going according to plan. (Last week: 4)
Mond is a tough position as A&M’s injury-ravaged ground game continues to shrivel up against respectable competition. He did his best Saturday to salvage what was shaping up as a total no-show against Auburn, leading 3 too-little, too-late scoring drives in the 4th quarter that nearly put his team in position to win a game it trailed 21-3, and did it with no pretense whatsoever that the Aggies had any other options but to let him sling it.
Mond’s final stat line (31-of-49, 335 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs) is misleading because such a disproportionate share of that production was tacked on with the outcome essentially decided. But it also came with the same strange combination of promise and frustration that has defined Mond’s career — if he’s capable of making plays like this, with an All-American defensive tackle bearing down on him like an angry bear …
… why are they so few and far between? And why does it seem to take a desperate situation (think of his 2nd-half masterpiece against Clemson in 2018, or the late rally against LSU in the 7-OT game) to bring them out? Does it always have to be in a losing effort, or in a frantic bid to avoid one? If he could sustain the same level or urgency against a decent opponent for more than a quarter or two at a time it would be something to see. (Last week: 5)
Nix had exactly the opposite type of game in College Station: Efficient in the early going, nothing spectacular for the highlight reels, underwhelming stat line, go home a winner. It remains to be seen whether he has the arm to make a secondary on the level of, say, LSU’s or Georgia’s sweat, but for a true freshman facing his first hostile environment on the road, style points are a luxury. (Last week: 6)
7. Kyle Trask, Florida
That’s due mainly to injury: Florida (Feleipe Franks), Kentucky (Terry Wilson), and South Carolina (Jake Bentley) have already lost their incumbent starters for the season, and Mississippi State has played without its nominal starter, Tommy Stevens, for all or most of the past 3 games. Ole Miss’ Matt Corral was knocked out of Saturday’s game and could miss more. Arkansas benched its opening-day starter in Week 2; Tennessee could be next.
Trask is unusual among the new/aspiring starters in that he’s the only one who was even on his team’s roster before this season. The rest are grad transfers (Sawyer Smith, Nick Starkel) or true freshmen (Ryan Hilinski, Garrett Shrader, potentially John Rhys Plumlee and/or Brian Maurer) in their first year, none of whom necessarily expected to play much if at all. And again, it’s only September – the top half of the list should be hightailing it out of bounds at every opportunity.
So while it might be too soon to proclaim the Gators are in safe hands based on a couple of mostly good outings against Kentucky and a rapidly imploding version of Tennessee, at the moment “a couple of mostly good outings against SEC opponents” is a relatively accomplished résumé. We’ll know more in a couple of weeks, when the Gators get Auburn back-to-back on the other side of a date with FCS Towson. (Last week: 11)
8. e
Stevens didn’t play in the Bulldogs’ 28-13 win over Kentucky due to a lingering shoulder injury, and based on Shrader’s performance in his first career start, it’s not a given that he’s going to return to find the job waiting for him. It was the kind of effort that should remind MSU fans of Nick Fitzgerald on his better days: Although still very raw as a passer, Shrader was on point enough to complete 17-of-22 attempts for 180 yards while ripping off another 139 yards as a runner (not including sacks). ESPN’s QBR metric rated that as the best rushing performance by any quarterback in Week 5 against a Power 5 defense.
As for this weekend’s trip to Auburn, the pecking order is “a fluid situation.” If Shrader hasn’t quite overtaken Stevens as “1a,” at least he has generated a lot more confidence in his ability to serve as “1b” in a tough road game than he had in the wake of his Week 3 struggles against Kansas State. (Last week: 13)
9. Ryan Hilinski, South Carolina
1⃣0⃣0⃣ YARD PICK SIX 😱
The longest INT return in @MizzouFootball history! pic.twitter.com/302VDNXEdp
— SEC Network (@SECNetwork) September 21, 2019
The game-changing INT was emblematic on a day when Hilinski looked every bit the true freshman in his first road start, finishing 13-of-30 for 166 yards in a decisive loss at Mizzou. It was that kind of afternoon. In addition to the pick-6, Hilinski also gifted the Tigers an easy touchdown in the 1st quarter, on a bizarre play on which he reflexively caught a pass that had been deflected back to him — making him an eligible runner — and reacted by spiking the ball into the ground inside his own 5-yard line. That’s … a fumble? Yeah, that’s a fumble.

Much better days are in store, although with Georgia, Florida, Texas A&M and Clemson still to go and no gimmes in between, it might be awhile. (Last week: 7)
10. Matt Corral or John Rhys Plumlee, Ole Miss
Corral is “day to day” with bruised ribs, putting his status for Saturday’s trip to Alabama in doubt. Even with a clean bill of health, though, his grasp on the starting job would be tentative at best after watching Plumlee, a true freshman, come within inches (literally) of leading Ole Miss back from a 15-point deficit against Cal in his first

“Mary Is My Homegirl” Breaking Devotional Boundaries
More Protestants taking interest in Jesus’ mother
They’re wearing “Mary Is My Homegirl” T-shirts and bracelets, and not all of them are Roman Catholic.
Once mainly a devotional figure for Catholics, Mary and her role as a woman of God now are studied by Anglicans and other Christian denominations.
“Mary is my friend … for me, she’s the ultimate example of a woman who said yes to God,” said Betsy Biega, parish administrator at St. Martin’s in the Fields Episcopal Church off Clemson Avenue in Columbia.
“Mary Is My Homegirl” ’s n “The Gilmore Girls,”
“In‘Mary-olatry,’ or seeming to worship Mary,” None of this surprisesin Columbia who see Mary as an important spiritual figure for today’s Christians.
“Mary Is My Homegirl” T-shirts can’t be found for sale in Columbia stores, but Megan Shealy, manager of St. Francis Catholic Shop in Irmo, is thinking about ordering them. She wears a “Mary Is My Homegirl” bracelet she found at a Spencer’s gift store, and she thinks the items are a great idea for young Catholics and others.
Lyon thinks “nothing but good” can come from shirts and other items that allow young Christians to express an interest in Mary.
“If a youngster gets excited about what Mary can say to him or her, I think that only helps direct them toward Jesus,” he said.
Some Protestant churches, especially Episcopal and United Methodist, in recent years have offered Bible studies and classes that focus on the Virgin Mary as a model for Christian women.
Biega, who regularly uses the rosary as a means of devotion, thinks more Protestants are becoming interested in learning about Mary because she offers a symbol of what women can become through the love of God.

Returning to dazzle anyone who likes good action sequence is Ray Park as Snake Eyes (who admittedly must be the Harpo Marx of the Joes you just wish would get to take off the mask and show any emotion) and Byung-hun Lee who couldn’t be better as Storm Shadow. Both Park and Lee along with Elodie Yung as martial arts fighter Jinx all have some of the best martial arts moves in Retaliation of any epic martial arts film, which may be overlooked by some martial arts genre lovers by the popular nature of this movie. And Lee’s Storm Shadow gets more character development than probably any other character of the film–a great and unexpected surprise. Although we’d seen bits of the Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow and Cobra minions in a mountain top battle in the previews to the film, the scene played out in full on the big screen was only grander, complex and visually stunning than anyone would expect. A “making of” feature for the choreography and planning of this sequence will be a must for the DVD/Blu-Ray release.
If you like Dwayne Johnson or any incarnation of the G.I. Joe franchise you will love G.I. Joe: Retaliation–there is something here for everyone. G.I. Joe: Retaliation has so far received a great box office showing, which will likely mean a G.I. Joe 3. What would be a good focus for a third G.I. Joe film? How about returning to the non-war era of the action figures with the G.I. Joe adventure team? We haven’t yet seen bearded blond and brunette Joes from the early 1970s, and the various James Bond-inspired underwater spy figures and accessories.
Or better yet, how about introducing a new supersoldier Joe by resurrecting the 1970s cyborg Joe, Atomic Man?
There is plenty of the G.I. Joe franchise yet to be explored.


SMUD had contracted with AstoPower to complete a photovoltaic study and final report under its Renewable Generation Research, Development & Demonstration (ReGen) Program. AstroPower went bankrupt and was bought out by GE before the report could be completed. The company had sent multiple deliverables to SMUD, but provided no final report. SMUD tasked IEC with completing the report, which described the work AstroPower did prior to bankruptcy. Several IEC team members wrote this report as a stand-in for AstroPower using only the deliverables and online information to piece together a report that could carry the reader through AstroPower’s task work and results.
SMUD contracted with IEC to provide review and editing of the 24 final project reports submitted as part of IEC reformatted and edited all of the reports to conform to the PIER Program requirements.

It actually just worked out me. A guest staying with us in Madrid mentioned that I should check it out up there as it was a somewhat forgotten area of the country and in general would be a good place to look for work needing English speakers. Once he mentioned the climate, I was sold. I mentioned this to my friend in Segovia that I was going to visit the following week, and it just happen. I'm fine exploring by myself, but it's always more fun with others!
One of the things the region of Asturias is known for is its (hard) cider, so we found a sidrería (cider house?
The scooters, which I had never given a second thought, turned out to be really fun. They get up to 25km/hr, which is a decent speed and gets you where you need to go. Plus, zipping along the boardwalk at night watching the sun set over the ocean (technically the bay)…

 </s> Today I want to start off by saying I’m sorry. I’m sorry for not keeping in touch more often, for not making the extra effort, and especially for not writing since what…august? You, my family and friends, my support deserve better. I could say that it’s just that I’ve been so busy…which is true. It’s also the average American cop-out.
So today I would like to share something I’ve been dealing with for the last few months and am finally starting to receive clarity on. This life is hard. Poverty is hard. I’ll never know what poverty is actually like for my neighbor, but I know my neighbors and I know their struggles second hand.
The life of the missionary here is hard because of a different kind of poverty. This is a kind we still can’t ever fully know, but we most definitely experience here with the local villages. Spiritual poverty.
What do I consider spiritual poverty? One priest for the entire diocese of Trujillo. One bishop who has to cover for said priest quite often. Confession for our kids maybe once a year. Mass with a priest and real, blessed communion maybe once every few months for each village. No spiritual direction. Very few spiritual resources. Nuns who are wise, but who are just as young as you are and dealing with their own struggles of being so far from spiritual support as well.
We lead a different kind of mission. It’s most certainly not a bad one. It definitely has its perks (a lot of cute kids to make you laugh). Our mission is to serve, protect, and care for these children and this organization. The Farm of the child itself has brought jobs, economy, and life to this rural part of Trujillo. It has brought education, Catholicism, and hope. This is a good mission too. It’s just much different than what one might think of at first hearing the term “missionary”.
Now, if you ask me if I’ve grown closer to God, I will most certainly say no. I don’t feel much of anything. I feel a lot of things though, and it draws me to desire that relationship more. On our last retreat, a priest explained the concept of desolation and consolation to us. He said not to worry, desolation is a good thing. That’s where we really grow. That’s where we aren’t comfortable and we need God most, we need him when we can’t feel Him. No matter what, He still continues to be my hope. If anyone can keep this place together, it’s got to be Him.
Like I said, this is only something I’m starting to get clarity on, so bear with me as I continue on the journey. If you’re experiencing desolation or have in the past as well, have hope! Try and trust that this is where we will find God.
SoCheck out this video made by my fellow blonde and beautiful nurse friend, Brooke Adams (brookinhan)
Here's a link to her blog: Brooke Adams </s> I'm stuffing the blog with this post and our family is stuffing this week.
I'll start with Sunday. Even though the weather wasn't the greatest it was a great day.
I don't think that I have mentioned this but the boys have started their summer hockey league and have already played 3 of the 10 games.
Not to worry, we were told that if the teams are eneven that there will be a realignment soon. We'll see.
Honestly? I don't care. I like the kids we have on our team and would prefer not to lose any of them for the sake of a few more goals.
My father and step-mother made it out which was great.
They are very busy folks and don't really live very close to us so it becomes difficult for getting together.
After the game the boys, Cheryl, my dad and step-mother and myself headed over to Swiss Chalet in Fredericton for a late dinner.
The next item of awesomeness (awesomeality, awesomeivity?) is that our Baseball season started last night! I'm an assistant coach this season.
They were pretty good but didn't seem to have what they had last season. Not yet anyway. The


too are making their losses known, crying out for the return of distinctive channels such as Sirius Shuffle, which played random tunes from many other channels of wildly different musical formats.
Greenstein says the merger of the music channels is neither a cost-cutting move nor a change in programming philosophy, but rather a logical desire to reduce duplication. (XM and Sirius each still have a few distinctive channels, which are available for extra fees on the other system. Sirius, for example, offers Howard Stern, the NFL and Playboy Radio. The XM-specific channels include the NHL, the NBA and Bob Edwards. XM's exclusive coverage of all baseball games is not yet available to Sirius customers, but "We continue to be hopeful that at some point, we will be able to add MLB to our Best of XM package," says spokesman Patrick Reilly.)
But there was always a difference in tone and approach between Sirius and XM and now, Sirius's culture is by and large the governing one.
"I like to gear everything to mainstream America," Greenstein tells me, and while XM's Abrams was hardly a radical, he often spoke of satellite radio as the antidote both to FM's lack of musical choice and to its dumbed-down, predictable personality. Abrams specifically set out to offer channels for Everyman, but also channels for the music snobs he personally couldn't stand.
With the merger, that latter approach appears to be out of fashion. Where there was once choral music--admittedly a high-end taste even among classical buffs--there is now only opera. Where there were once separate channels for Spanish oldies, Mexican pop, Latin hits and jazzy salsa, there is now but one basic Latin pop offering. Will a less varied menu of music be sufficient to get Americans to shell out $13 a month for radio? Not clear. Sirius XM is in serious trouble financially; its stock has lost 91 percent of its value this year and the company has $1 billion in debt that it must refinance this year.
Satradio still offers plenty of programming not heard elsewhere. And now some of the medium's top talents are heard on both Sirius and XM--Les Davis's magnificently learned evening shows on Real Jazz; Cousin Brucie, Terry Young and Phlash Phelps spinning 60s hits; Martin Goldsmith (and fellow WETA veteran Robert Aubrey Davis) on the sole remaining station featuring orchestral works; Jonathan Schwartz chronicling the age of Sinatra and the American standards; B.K. Kirkland's old school R&B on The Groove; and Dylan's consistently inventive Theme Time Radio Hour.
But if a service with more than 150 channels offers 20 flavors of rock, yet can't find room for so many of the culture's other forms of music, it may have lost its claim to the many niches that make up American eclecticism.

I miss my Sirius Disorder. The Sirius website says that "If you like Disorder, you'll like The Loft." No, I don't. I miss the idea that I could be listening to Rufus Wainwright one minute, then the Temptations, then the MC5, then Leonard Cohen, then Maria Calas, etc all without changing the channel. Althought Vin Scelsa and David Johansen supposedly survived the merger, the Sirius website doesn't say when and where they'll be on. I've been bummed out for two days now....
Posted by: ramgut | November 14, 2008 8:44 AM
As of Wednesday, Sirius went from 4 wonderful, uncensored hip hop channels to 3, 2 of which are now censored. I'll be canceling this week.
Posted by: thenoggin | November 14, 2008 8:57 AM
I run the Dreamtime blog/podcast on Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour, and have received more email/comments on the channel changes than any other subject this season. While some of the comments were from SIRIUS listeners welcoming the show to their radios, most were complaints that SIRIUS XM has "retired" XMX Channel 2, which aired TTRH all day on Wednesdays. Many listeners liked the freedom of being able to listen to the show at any time during the day, picking up bits-and-pieces as time allowed.
Given this "on-demand" age of TiVos, DVRs, and podcasting, I think SIRIUS XM is missing a bet by not having at least one channel devoted to all-day re-runs of their most popular programming, such as TTRH, and Tom Petty's "Buried Treasure."
Posted by: FredBals | November 14, 2008 8:58 AM
Please maintain the commercial free minimal DJ format as much as possible. Terrestrial radio has become unlistenable, due to the constant commercials and terrible juvenile DJing. That's why I went to XM originally.
Posted by: HillMan | November 14, 2008 9:02 AM
I like the new 40's Channel and I found Elvis Radio with the new lineup (no idea if it was there before), but I miss my E!Radio. There's definitely nothing else like it in the lineup, regardless of what the 'we're not here anymore' message claims. I agree that Sirius listeners probably got the better end of the deal; other than one channel being missing, not too much has changed for me.
Posted by: Marissa1 | November 14, 2008 9:03 AM
Count me in as another who will miss the choral repertoire (including sacred) on XM's former Vox. Sirius's Metropolitan Opera channel just doesn't have the same appeal. There's no comparison between an overstuffed soprano warbling in Italian and the sheer beauty of choral arts. Vox was also a respite from the banjo playing, drum rattling sound often heard, sadly, in the pew on Sunday mornings.

Posted by: toolie | November 14, 2008 9:12 AM
It is absolutely incomprehensible to me that the merger resulted in less music choice. Since they were able to get rid of duplicate channels (such as the decade channels), we should have been able to keep the existing genres. How on earth do you nuke both XM's The Rhyme and Sirius's Backspin? And merging all the Latin programming into Caliente? Disappointing to say the least.
Posted by: DCSoxFan | November 14, 2008 9:18 AM
It appears, after flatly saying there would be no merger, after saying that there would be separation of programming, the (now) single satellite radio organization got what it wanted; now that it has what it wanted, there's no real reason to give people what they were told they'd get, or what was "promised", is there.
I suppose, however, that SatRadio will now provide people who don't agree with their programming the option of cancelling their membership and receive a pro-rated return of their subscription fees (even if they cannot get a return on the radio itself)? Yeah...right.
Sorry, but I can't see a long-term future if the future is 20 of 150 stations being variations of one thing (rock and roll). As public broadcasting promised, SatRadio was going to provide what you couldn't get elsewhere (with the benefit of your not losing station signals because of movement or location). SatRadio has reneged on it's promise. It's promise to Congress and the FCC, and it's promise to the people, verbally and in writing.

Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh P. C. Sharma gathered information about the departmental structure, working procedure and activities during the first meeting of the Public Relations Department at Mantralaya (State Secretariat) on Friday.
Sharma said that department should adopt advance means of publicity and implement departmental points of the manifesto in an effective manner.
The Commissioner and Secretary of Public Relations P. Narhari informed about the departmental activities and structure in detail through the presentation. He asserted that work on all the points of manifesto related to the department has already been started and proposals in this regard will be presented soon.
In the morning, upon reaching his chamber situated at Mantralaya, Minister Sharma was accorded warm welcome with a bouquet by the Secretary and Commissioner of Public Relations P. Narhari and other officers. Sharma also received an introduction from the officers.
Meanwhile, the State Government has taken a decision to reconstitute State and Division level Committee, Patrakaar Sanchaar Kalyan Samiti for accreditation at State, District and Tahsil level, committees constituted to select various awards and committees formed to study difficulties of journalists.

Economy class airfare to and from the program site, transportation to and from the airport, and work-related travel and transportation at the host site is paid for by Yale Summer Session (YSS). Travel expenses may include, among other things, a monthly bus, metro pass, or train ticket for a course-related activity.
The cost of the instructor’s travel to the host site must be approved by YSS. The instructor may make his/her own flight reservations, or work with YSS’s travel agent to make these arrangements. Flights should be booked as early as possible to be most cost-effective, but after YSS knows for sure if a course is running. If an instructor makes his/her own arrangements, he/she will have to seek approval from YSS before booking the ticket, pay for the flight, and submit receipts to YSS for reimbursement. Yale policy states that the individual must complete all legs of the flight itinerary before reimbursement is possible. If our travel agent arranges the flight, YSS is billed directly. It is important to give our travel agent the exact flight details and dates you would like to fly if she books the travel for you. Yale policy states that te. YSS will not reimburse you or pay for changes to your flight’s itinerary once it is booked.
Because the instructor is expected to purchase airline tickets well in advance of the study abroad program in order to find the lowest-priced fare, the instructor will know by April 1 whether a course has sufficient enrollment to go ahead. (The course will likely have sufficient enrollment well ahead of this date.) YSS expects the instructor to submit a plane reservation for budget approval no later than May 1.
A private sedan or town car service from Connecticut to JFK, Newark, or other area airports may be used when the cost is reasonable. Consult with YSS for approval before booking. Whenever possible, instructors going to the same host site should arrange to travel together to the airport to save money. Please visit https://your.yale.edu/administrative-services/travel-relocation-fleet/travel/ground-transportation/private-car-service for a list of Yale preferred vendors.
Other acceptable forms of transportation to an area airport include Metro-North, the subway, or Amtrak.
If a friend or family member drives the instructor to the airport, the instructor may request reimbursement for gasoline by submitting a receipt dated from the same or following day of travel, or may request reimbursement for mileage. Per Yale policy, YSS will not reimburse the friend or family member should he/she request money from the instructor for his or her time and service.
Instructors are given a predetermined housing stipend, which is paid to them before departure to the host site. The housing stipend amount is determined by the Provost every year and is based on the U.S. State Department per diem rate for the host city. The housing stipend is intended to pay for the instructor’s housing. If housing chosen by the instructor at the host site costs less than the housing stipend provided, the instructor may use what is left over to pay for any other personal costs incurred while living at the host site. If housing chosen by the instructor costs more than the housing stipend given, the instructor must pay the remaining cost him/herself.
The instructor must find lodging on his/her own. YSS does not arrange the rental agreement. If the instructor is unfamiliar with the host city and does not have personal contacts, he/she may wish to contact YSS, the local coordinator, or instructors who have participated in the program for suggestions. Be very careful when making online rental agreements, and only use reputable companies that have been referred to you.
An instructor’s meal is covered by program expenses during the program when it is a required activity with students; for example, if a group visits a location outside of the program site, and the instructor eats lunch with the students, but the students have to pay for their own lunch, YSS will reimburse the instructor’s lunch bill. When lunch is included for students during a program activity, the instructor’s meal should be part of the entire bill and not a separate receipt. If a hotel stay is involved on a program excursion, and breakfast is not included in the hotel stay, YSS will not reimburse the instructor, since it is not an activity with students. YSS will reimburse your meals when you are participating in an activity with students (costs must be considered a part of the program’s activity budget).
The instructor should provide YSS with a general list of planned activities with estimated costs before leaving for the host site. The instructor must contact YSS for approval of an activity that has not been preapproved but will require Yale funding.
Expenses incurred for course materials and photocopies necessary for the course will be part of the program budget.
In an emergency situation, the instructor may need to purchase over-the-counter medicine or medical supplies on behalf of the student—if the student is incapacitated and unable to do so him/herself. The instructor will be reimbursed by the program budget for this type of purchase if he/she deems it inappropriate to collect the money from the student. This does not apply to medical treatment, for example,—a hospital emergency room, doctor’s visit, or prescription medication/supply. The student must pay for and submit this bill to his/her travel insurance carrier for reimbursement. For all programs, students will be covered by United Healthcare Global.
Per Yale policy, some expenses are not covered by your program’s budget. If you have any questions regarding expenses not covered, please contact the Yale Summer Session (YSS) office.
Yale does not cover expenses related to accompanying family members. As stated in the housing policy, there is a limit set for lodging, and this will not be increased to accommodate an instructor’s family. In addition, the instructor may not increase the program budget in any way to accommodate accompanying family members. For example, if a planned group cultural activity incurs a per-person cost, the instructor must pay for any family members who accompany the group as their participation increases the program cost.
The instructor is paid a summer salary above and beyond his/her annual Yale salary in order to teach in the YSS study abroad program, and, therefore, is not eligible for a food per diem while abroad. See Miscellaneous below for more details on meals.
In-flight services (i.e. paid meals, alcohol, headsets, snacks, etc.).
Meals or snacks in the airport terminal and en route to the program location.
Frequent flyer and other similar award programs/airport lounges.
Airfare for parents or guardians of students, even in the case of an emergency. Consult YSS if there is an emergency situation.
Personal travel within the country (airline tickets, train tickets, etc.) of both instructors and/or their accompanying family members.
Charges related to changing flight dates and times (departure/arrival) of airline tickets.
Baggage Fees (checked or heavy baggage).
Upgrades (air, hotel, car, train, etc.).
"No-show" charges for hotel and car service.
In-room movies and minibar charges in hotels.
Everyday meals when not with students on a program activity.
Snacks (including coffee, pastries, wine, ice cream, and any snacks when not with students during a program activity).
personal funds, or property.
Car rental insurance for domestic travel. (Car rental insurance must be purchased for an international rental and will be reimbursed.). Consult the YSS staff for approval of a rental car.
Insurance deductible or any other cost that insurance does not cover for a damaged rental car.
Personal automobile repairs.

Medical bills (pharmacy, doctor, hospital, etc.) for instructors and/or students.
Funds paid out by the instructor on behalf of the student—for example, a meal or an unpaid bill—that the instructor fails to collect from the student (Yale is not held accountable for funds that the instructor is unable to collect from students).
Miscellaneous expenses not mentioned above that are not reimbursable per Yale policy.
This is list not exhaustive; always consult the YSS office if you are unsure if an expense is covered.
For the abroad portion of the course only. Requires Prior Authorization. Per Yale Policy, the Study Abroad Director or a designee with appropriate decision-making authority must approve expenses for business meals. For a business meal to be reimbursed, a business purpose with a list of attendees and their business relationship to the University is required by I.R.S. regulations. A detailed list of attendees will be required for meals up to and including ten people. The University expects the cost of business meals to be reasonable and to be $100 or less per person (including tax and tip). One or two business meals may be appropriate for a Yale Summer Session (YSS) Abroad program. This is not required by YSS. Keep in mind, this cost will be part of your overall program a business meal.
The instructor may request a cash advance from Yale Summer Session (YSS) to pay for program-related expenses that cannot be paid through wire transfer by Yale. YSS prefers to pay for as many on-site expenses as possible by wire transfer or purchasing card, so please verify whether this is possible before requesting a cash advance. Under no circumstances should faculty be giving out cash to students. All cash advance money needs to be accounted for.
A request for a cash advance must be made in writing to the YSS office and must include a detailed budget justifying the request amount. Cash advances require signatures from several offices at Yale. Please allow three weeks for processing. If you have direct deposit with Yale, the Cash Aquest a Yale issued debit card. Yale will disburse the advance no more than one week before the date of travel. You must save all receipts so the cash advance can be reconciled at the end of the program. Receipts must be turned in no later than two weeks after the end date of the program. You will be responsible for returning any unspent and/or unaccounted for funds.
Instructors must present receipts for reimbursement upon his/her return to the U.S., and are expected to comply with the dates for reconciliation provided by YSS. YSS asks that all receipts be turned in no later than two weeks after your program’s end date. If an instructor does not plan to return to New Haven in the immediate future following the program (for example, the instructor will spend the fall semester away from Yale), he/she must make arrangements to return receipts for reimbursement to YSS by mail or through another program instructor. YSS will provide the instructor with the necessary reimbursement form by e-mail. We ask that you e-mail us the completed form for faster processing. The form will indicate how to present receipts and currency conversions.

Nowadays, cwhether it is the transmission shaft, brake pads, or the tail, engine cover, we can see the figure of carbon fiber. You may not know what carbon fiber is, but you must know that this kind of material is good and expensive. In those far away sports cars, from time to time, carbon fiber is worshipped, with its own sports and performance halo, and the carbon fiber grain interior is also sought after by many models.
The results show that for every 10% reduction of body weight, acceleration of 0-100km / h is increased by 8-10%, and the braking distance is shortened by 2 ~ 7m. And lightweight body can also improve the handling stability of the car.
The biggest advantage of carbon fiber is that it weighs less than 1 / 4 of steel and is lighter than aluminum. It is the perfect material to realize "lightweight". 30% lighter than aluminum and 50% lighter than steel. If the steel parts of the car are all replaced by carbon fiber composite material kg.
Body lightweight and the operation of the vehicle will be more safe and stableenergy absorption rate, and thof that of steel and three to four times of that of aluminum, which further guarantees the safety of automobile.
The strength of carbon fiber is 20 times that of iron, and it is the only material that will not decrease in strength at 2000 ℃ high temperature. Its excellent impact absorption capacity is 4-5 times that of ordinary metal materials. For materials with the same cross-sectional area, carbon fiber can bear several times more force than steel.
When carbon fiber is applied to the half shaft and transmission shaft, better transmission efficiency can be achieved. In addition, carbon fiber is different from metal, withcarbon fiber components of vehicles have a longer life under normal use.
However, one of the major disadvantages of carbon fiber materials is its poor plasticity, which is mainly due to the ductility of steel and other metal materials, which can cause large deformation without damage, while carbon fiber composite materials do not have this characteristic. Therefore, it will be broken after a strong impact, can not be repaired but can only be replaced, with high cost. That's why only super runs and F1 cars use carbon fiber bodies.
Generally speaking, the performance of carbon fiber material is far better than that of steel in terms of performance. Under the same conditions, the carbon fiber body can improve the safety, handling, fuel economy, durability and other aspects of the vehicle. We just sit and wait for the cost of carbon fiber material to drop, and the household car can also "afford" this top-grade material. It is said that the BMW I3 is the cheapest car with carbon fiber, but never hit it.

Sacramento Looks To Reclaim Riverfront Cut Off 50 Years Ago By Interstate 5
By Steve Large February 27, 2017 at 5:02 pm
Now, the city of Sacramento is brainstorming new ways to reclaim the riverfront. Like a bend in the powerful river, Sacramento is seeking to change the story of its riverfront by starting a new chapter.
They’ve hired Richard Rich, a former Walt Disney imagineer, to help find the answer.
He worked in Orlando and Los Angeles and became an expert at turning imagination into reality. His focus was bringing people to a place for a story and what he calls an emotional response.
His eyes are focused on the one constant over the years.
“Ironically, the view right now is the view that really most people don’t see of this river, and that is the river itself,” he said.
They’ve embraced the Willamette River, creating green space right at the water’s edge.
“That’s something we can’t do here because our water’s edge comes up and down,” he said.
“I think it requires money, but it also requires creativity, and it requiresthat’s really iconic and meaningful and part of the destination for the waterfront anchoring both sides of the river but also different parts of the water on both sides,” he said.
In the 1960s when planners tore down a part of Downtown Sacramento to build Interstate 5, promises included a fisherman’s wharf, and esplanade and riverfront housing.
But all of these ideas to change the present-day riverfront come down to one thing.
Rich says he’d like the city to host 100 events a year along the river, giving people a reason to return to the water again and again.
