Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe was called out by a fashion designer, Phoonmy Afrika, on Instagram for failing to fulfill an agreement between them.
Friday, January 20, Phoonmy Afrika put up the above picture of the mother of two in an Ankara blouse and skirt accusing her of rocking one of their designs without giving credit as agreed.

Aigbe however has denied the claims saying the shirt was given to her as a birthday gift by her friend Jumoke Odetola.
Mercy wrote, "Goodmorning Fam!..... my attention as been drawn to a particular story trending, regarding this shirt, pls I will like to start categorically that I don't know the said designer, I never agreed to tag her and she didn't give me the shirt. The shirt was given to me by Jumoke Odetola as a birthday gift and when she dropped the shirt at my office, she never mentioned the designer and didn't tell me to tag anyone. .........thank you all and have a blessed day."
After Mercy's message, Phoonmy Afrika shared another post which put many into confusion as the post contradicts her claims.
Who do you think is saying the truth?

5 Reasons That Make Saudi The Best Place To Visit Near Qatar
Football fever is on; by now, all football lovers are planning to go to Qatar to watch these matches. Besides being a football fan, if you are a travel buff too, we recommend you to visit Saudi Arabia, an ideal place near Qatar to fulfill two aspirations in one trip – footballing and holidaying! Many famous landmarks, scenic areas, historical sites, and delectable eateries are in Saudi Arabia to welcome you! Traveling to this part of the world is going to be an unforgettable experience for sure. Discover Saudi from its archeological adventures to world class fine dining.
5 Reasons to Visit Saudi Arabia
Explore the Spiritual Sanctuary of World Famous Mosques
Both Makkah and Medina are located in Saudi Arabia, but a pilgrimage route need not begin and end there. If visitors want to experience the tranquility of the mosques or have some quiet time to pray, they can go to one of the many other holy places that tend to be less crowded. Visiting one of the country’s many architecturally significant mosques and historic buildings is possible to get an up-close look at Saudi Arabia’s unique religious roots.
Al Rajhi Grand Mosque in Riyadh
The Grand Mosque of Riyadh is among the city’s most significant Islamic landmarks. This mosque serves as both a place of worship and a gathering place for the local community, with space for up to 18,000 men in the men’s hall and 2,500 women in the women’s area. On Fridays, prayers are interpreted into seven languages and shown live on digital screens for the deaf community.
Al Rajhi Mosque in Ha’il
The Al Rajhi Mosque, located on the outskirts of Ha’il, is an impressive mosque. It is decorated with four pencil-thin minarets that soar to an impressive height of 80 meters. The interior is a soothing cream color and features one of the largest chandeliers the world has ever seen. This chandelier stands atop a cascading fifty vermillion red domes. The mosque has space for 4,000 worshippers inside and another 3,000 in the tranquil courtyard.
Al Rahma Mosque in Jeddah
The Al Rahma Mosque, also known as the Floating Mosque, is the world’s first mosque to be constructed on a floating platform in a body of water. A massive turquoise dome is surrounded by 56 colorful windows and Quranic verses written in swirling Arabic script. The mosque’s exterior is constructed of gleaming white marble.
Jawatha Mosque in Al Ahsa
The ancient Jawatha Mosque, said to be the oldest mosque in the eastern Arabian Peninsula, was erected around the time the Islamic religion was first established nearly 1,400 years ago. At first glance, Jawatha Mosque looks more like a fortress than a mosque due to its simple, sand-colored mudbrick walls and surrounding squat towers topped with circular crenellations.
A blend of past, present, and the future
Al Balad and Ha’il: Where a beautiful past is depicted in
Stroll leisurely through Jeddah’s historic district, Al Balad. Hear the commotion of its street vendors. Shopping for authentic Arabian cuisine, spices, and trinkets has never been easier than at one of these marketplaces. To really appreciate this city’s ancient beauty and everything it offers, you will likely need to return for a second visit. To know more about this ancient city, click here.
Ha’il is a province with a rich history of pre-Islamic rock art. The history of Saudi Arabia, as recorded in Ha’il spans about ten thousand years. The scale and detail of the tombs of Mada’in Saleh will astound you. To know more about the beauty of Ha’il, click here.
Riyadh: Where the present day admires the splendor of the past
The capital city of Riyadh is home to two of Saudi Arabia’s most stunning attractions. Take a trip to the ruins of Diriyah in Wadi Hanifa. Adobe homes and the outdoor museum are beautiful to look at.
Another tourist site is the breathtaking canyon, the Edge of the World. It is, without a second doubt, one of the country’s most well-known tourist hotspots. If you enjoy hiking and stunning landscapes, you should not miss out on a chance to visit the edge of the world. For more details on this place, please read the blog here.
KAEC: Where the future looks most promising
Makkah province is home to the futuristic city known as King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC). It is ideal for a family staycation thanks to its picturesque villas and condos, lush landscaping, and wide range of fun things to do. Notable features include:
- A round of golf at Al Murooj will transport you to one of the most beautiful locations in the Middle East. The Saudi International Golf Championship is held there every year. Stop by and give this calming activity a shot!
- The Sharbatly Mosque is easily identifiable thanks to its modern design incorporating Islamic elements and its distinctive golden dome.
- You should spend at least one evening strolling the beach promenade. You can rent bicycles to explore the area and take in the breathtaking panorama of the Red Sea, or you can simply go for a stroll. Many of the restaurants and cafes along the promenade include outdoor seating with stunning views of the sunset.
- Another tourist attraction is the luxurious Lagoona Escape, a desert camp on the outskirts of KAEC. This place becomes a fantastical place straight out of Arabian Nights after the sun goes down.
Incredible sights to see
Saudi Arabia is located on the Red Sea and has several beaches. Most of these shores have yet to be explored, and travel by water is available from cities like Yanbu, Al-lith, and Jeddah. A few ancient shipwrecks may still have their relics visible.
Coastal Beauty at Yanbu
There is a stunning coastline drive a few hours to the west of Medina – the port of Yanbu, which is actually split between two cities. The old northern town is an ancient spice route, whereas the southern new city is famous for its oil refineries and industrial plants. Most of the nightlife and historical sites are clustered around the waterfront.
Overlooking the Red Sea, dine with locals on freshly caught fish. Explore the reconstructed alleyways of the adjoining Souq Al Lail (night market), which first opened late to serve fishermen. Fresh Mulkhiah leaves and local dates are only two examples of the delicious fruits and vegetables on offer.
Yanbu’s warm, lush seas offer some of the best diving destinations in Saudi Arabia. Abu Galawa is a beautiful island surrounded by sharks, coral grottoes, and schools of barracuda. The wreck of the SS Iona is now a beautiful living reef and an all-popular destination. Seven Sisters is best known for its hammerhead sharks, though tiger sharks and tuna can often be seen around the walls of coral as well. To know more about the water adventures done in Yanbu, click here.
Water Adventures at the Red Sea
The temperature of the Red Sea here never goes below 20 degrees Celsius, not even in the dead of winter. If you wish to go scuba diving in the Red Sea, you will come across sharks, turtles, beautiful fish, and even moray eels. Furthermore, the Gulf Coast and the Red Sea are both excellent places to go birdwatching.
Mountaineering at Aseer Mountains
Even if you have not heard, Saudi Arabia has a wide variety of ecosystems. There are magnificent beaches and mountains, but the rest of the land is desert. There are few places left as pristine as the Mountains of Aseer. Species such as the baboon, eagle, and blue lizard make their homes in the deep and magnificent ravines of these mountains located in the southwestern part of the country. You should visit Aseer if you need to get away to the highlands for some serenity and purity of air.
Explore the Taste of Saudi
Foodies will find something about Saudi Arabia particularly charming. One of the world’s most popular and admired cuisines is Arabic cuisine. One of the ideal ways to truly immerse yourself in Arabian culture is to eat the local cuisine. Jeddah is known as the culinary hotspot of Saudi Arabia. Check out the details here to know which are the best places to go in Jeddah.
The exotic flavors of Arabian cuisine come from the use of a wide variety of spices. Middle Eastern staples like hummus bi tahini, couscous with chicken, grilled halloumi, and falafels may be found on the menus of most Arabian eateries in the country. The most prevalent kinds of meat are chicken and lamb.
Get lost in this Shopping Spree
Riyadh and Jeddah are the most progressive metropolis in Saudi Arabia and a major port and commercial center. These are a must-visit if you are looking for a shopping place.
Dates can be purchased at the Date souk off of Riyadh’s Exit 14 for the best selection. Ajwa, Majdoul, zahidi, saghai, and khudri are just some of the rare and exotic options available to you.
Authentic Middle Eastern spices are abundant in Saudi Arabia. Common spices sold in Saudi Arabian souks include black pepper, cloves, cardamom, saffron, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and nutmeg.
Oud is one of the most sensuous perfumes, and it is often formulated to have a calming effect when used for significant and lavish events. Riyadh’s souk Al Zal is a maze of alleys selling everything from spices to fragrances flavored with oud.
Locally made goods in Saudi Arabia are sold at a discount compared to the rest of the world since the country does not impose a sales tax. The greatest venues to buy gold in Saudi Arabia are the Batha Gold Market in Riyad and the Balad Gold Market in the capital city.
Malls in Riyadh
- Center Mall on Olaya Street, Al Nakheel Mall at Exit 9 of the Al Imam Saud ibn Abdul Aziz Branch Road.
- Kingdom Center, King Abdullah Road.
- Riyadh Park, The Northern Ring Branch Road
- Granada Mall, Eastern Ring Branch Road, Ash Shuhada District, Exit 9

I bring heartening news to everyone who this past decade has listened to the French exports to our game, scratched his chin and wondered what drug they were on.
From Eric "sardines and trawlers" Cantona, through Nicolas Anelka, Emmanuel Petit, Arsene Wenger and Gerard "my boys are nine games away from greatness" Houllier, we have had to endure some pretty bizarre musings.
Well it's not just Frenchmen in England who are third-rate Rimbauds. Japan has its very own pretentious prat in national team manager Philippe Troussier.
Here are some extracts from his big pre-tournament interview. When asked how he thinks Japan will do in the World Cup he replied: "We have been studying in university for three years and now we will have to graduate. It will be a big, big regret if we forget what we have learned in the examination."
How about the gulf in class between France and Japan: "The difference is in the mind. Our uniform is not a heavy uniform. Our shirt is a lightweight shirt. The French shirt is a heavy shirt, but 20 years ago the French shirt was also lightweight. The difference is not coming from individual players; it is coming from the environment."
What about the pressure on the host nation's players: "I hope before the match they go to the toilet five times. If you're not worried before your examination at school there's something wrong with you.
"I will say to them: 'Raise your eyes. Impose yourself. Your shirt is your flag. Now you have to be a man. Show me your balls'."
So if you see a lot of red-faced Japanese players adjusting their shorts as they trot out against Belgium on Tuesday, you'll know why.
Cometh the hour cometh the patronising quote from Pele about a team's chances of winning the World Cup.
Any team, depending on the nationality of the journalist he is talking to.
According to the International Herald and Tribune (co-owned by the New York Times and The Washington Post) the legendary ambassador believes the USA, who lost all three games at the last World Cup, will make it to at least the final 16.
Which is news to the other teams in Group D, Portugal, Poland and South Korea.
Don't worry lads, knowing our Pele, you've all been tipped to make it to the semis.
Check out your local Press for details.


I assume no new chain or adjustments to the Di2 anything else either moving from the 12-28 to the 11-28?
From what I read a few times is that gearing could be too close on the 11-28?
Also I've read that the 11-28 can give faster speeds in the flats?
Do I loose much on hills with the 11-28?
Not sure what someone would mean by "too close."
The 28-tooth gear is what you will use when climbing, so you will lose nothing on the hills. The 11-tooth will be the "top speed" gear and is technically faster than the 12-tooth, but you have to be a pretty good rider to be able to spin out in the highest gear!
The chain length should be OK unless they sized it in an unusual way. Make sure to try the 11-tooth sprocket with the smaller chain ring and see if it shifts into and out of that gear without any interference.

WHY WE NEED HAUTE COUTURE!
Hello my beautiful fashion people! Today I would like to get to the rootes, if I may say so. The first idea of this blog was to have an "hommage" to the haute couture, celebrating all the goods and amazing sides that this type of creative design offers us. Of course, I get a little digressions talking about high-street fashion and beauty. But in today´s post I will say why is haute couture important and why we need it.
Of course, many people ask, what´s the point of fashion which no one can wear (meaning by that the sizes are to small or the prices are astronomic big).. But I think it is very important to have this type of fashion expression because it brings the visual and estethical sensation to completely another and new level which can be an inspiration to any aspects of fashion expression.
Haute couture collections are field where designers can be themselves, unleash their imagination to unknown limits, giving back the most amazing pieces of design which we can be free to call pure art. And that is the main purpose and necessity of haute couture.
Of course, we all who are fashion lovers, we can be inspired by these gorgeous design dreams. Just a hint of chiffon in our evening dress, or corsets incorporated in all day clothing; in all of these things we are inspired by great haute couture. And that is the most important thing, right!
Tell me, what do you think about haute couture, do you like it, and do you think it is influential by any means in any aspects of style?
Thank you for the attention!

Love-40 or 40-Love?
After a 2 week lay off from tennis (minor wrist injury), I was back on the courts this morning and it always amazes me how much I have missed it when I am back at it. I could write an entire blog about the benefits of tennis. Wait. That is what I am doing. OK, no, I won't go getting all preachy on you here, but if ever there was a sport that encompasses everything from cardio to balance to stretching to precision to social interaction, this is it.
And it is fun to boot. I could go so far as to say that tennis has been such a joy in my life that when I find myself absent from it for some reason for any length of time, I get a bit grumpy. It can restore my chi like nothing else. The fresh air (excluding indoor winter tennis of course), the sunshine, the competition, the feeling of absolute focus and the social - did I mention the social? Every time I have made a major move in my life, tennis has introduced me to people and put me on the fast track to getting to know my new community. It encompasses all ages, both sexes and people from all walks of life.
Now, where was I going with this? Oh yes. So, this morning, as I joined the ladies at 6:30 am for our weekly round robin doubles play, I clearly had a wee advantage as the morning was coolish for these tropics dwellers and they found it had a bit of a negative effect on their usual game. I, on the other hand was in my element. It was exactly the weather conditions that suited my game. Sun just coming up, dew on the ground, about 16 degrees - woo hoo!
I came on fairly strong compared to the others and really felt like this was going to be a winning day for me and whomever I partnered with in any given set. I was on. Passing shots down the line. Overhead slams. Perfectly placed lobs. I could do no wrong. But, like golf, it is only a matter of time before one is humbled.
There I was at the net, set and ready to execute the perfect backhand overhead volley - sure to be a winner, when of course, it landed about 3 inches outside the line. Ugh! My opponent was relieved to see the unforced error and I turned to her and said, "Well, that just takes the cocky right out of ya, eh?" I laughed at myself as we never take anything too serious out there and she turned around and said, "I like that expression. I think I will use it sometime." As I had just made it up off the cuff, it got me to thinking that it was pretty good and could apply to just about any situation where cockiness trumps humility.
It is easy to get caught up in our wins in life. When we are on a real roll with work or sport or success in any area, cockiness can creep in and it is not pretty. We have all been there I am sure. Like when you are really succeeding with diet and exercise for instance. You are losing weight, toning your abs, people are commenting on how amazing you look and you are only too happy to share your secrets and success story. Feeling in charge, in control, cocky as hell. But then the inevitable strikes. Something knocks you off track. You get injured or you take a holiday and you can't seem to get back into your routine when you get home and before you know it, you step on the scale and it has gone up. Hmmm, not so cocky now.
No, just human. That is when you have to eat a little humble pie and start again. I know there are folks out there who manage to maintain their bodies and lifestyles 24/7 and I am in awe of them. Have you checked out people like Rich Roll? Google him. But he did not start out so perfect, so at least he gives us hope. Hope that there is still time to find perfect balance in our mind, body and spirit.
In the meantime, stay humble and be conscious of when it is time to kick the cocky to the curb.

text: Jupiter's innards are full of the remains of baby planets that the gas giant gobbled up as it expanded to become the behemoth we see today, scientists have found. The findings come from the first clear view of the chemistry beneath the planet's cloudy outer atmosphere. Space.com reports: In the new study, researchers were finally able to peer past Jupiter's obscuring cloud cover using gravitational data collected by NASA's Juno space probe. This data enabled the team to map out the rocky material at the core of the giant planet, which revealed a surprisingly high abundance of heavy elements. The chemical make-up suggests Jupiter devoured baby planets, or planetesimals, to fuel its expansive growth. [...] [T]he researchers built computer models of Jupiter's innards by combining data, which was predominantly collected by Juno, as well as some data from its predecessor Galileo. The probes measured the planet's gravitational field at different points around its orbit. The data showed that rocky material accreted by Jupiter has a high concentration of heavy elements, which form dense solids and, therefore, have a stronger gravitational effect than the gaseous atmosphere. This data enabled the team to map out slight variations in the planet's gravity, which helped them to see where the rocky material is located within the planet. The researcher's models revealed that there is an equivalent of between 11 and 30 Earth masses of heavy elements within Jupiter (3% to 9% of Jupiter's mass), which is much more than expected. The new models point to a planetesimal-gobbling origin for Jupiter because the pebble-accretion theory cannot explain such a high concentration of heavy elements. If Jupiter had initially formed from pebbles, the eventual onset of the gas accretion process, once the planet was large enough, would have immediately ended the rocky accretion stage. This is because the growing layer of gas would have created a pressure barrier that stopped additional pebbles from being pulled inside the planet. This curtailed rocky accretion phase would likely have given Jupiter a greatly reduced heavy metal abundance, or metallicity, than what the researchers calculated. However, planetesimals could have glommed onto Jupiter's core even after the gas accretion phase had begun; that's because the gravitational pull on the rocks would have been greater than the pressure exerted by the gas. This simultaneous accretion of rocky material and gas proposed by the planetesimal theory is the only explanation for the high levels of heavy elements within Jupiter, the researchers said. The study also revealed another interesting finding: Jupiter's insides do not mix well into its upper atmosphere, which goes against what scientists had previously expected. The new model of Jupiter's insides shows that the heavy elements the planet has absorbed have remained largely close to its core and the lower atmosphere. Researchers had assumed that convection mixed up Jupiter's atmosphere, so that hotter gas near the planet's core would rise to the outer atmosphere before cooling and falling back down; if this were the case, the heavy elements would be more evenly mixed throughout the atmosphere. However, it is possible that certain regions of Jupiter may have a small convection effect, and more research is needed to determine exactly what is going on inside the gas giant's atmosphere. The researchers' findings could also change the origin stories for other planets in the solar system. The study was published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.Read more of this story at Slashdot. Click here to read full news..

Pairing wine with food can seem like an overwhelming venture, though rest assured that finding the perfect bottle for your next meal really isn’t as hard as it seems. While many tend to overthink the notion, the beauty of pairing wine and food is that the “best” bottle options are actually pretty much endless – it’s simply a matter of following a few basic guidelines.
While we’re all about drinking what you love, it’s scientifically true that certain wines pair better with particular dishes. Curious to learn more? Follow the six guidelines below to become a food and wine pairing expert in no time.
Know the Basic Components
Understanding the foundation of food and wine pairing starts with knowing the basic components of what makes up each factor. In wine, the two main things to think about when pairing with food are acid and tannin. With food, salt and fat are the two main focuses.
Salt and Acid Go Hand In Hand
Think of a wine’s acidity like its natural superpower. High-acid white wines and rosés pair bring out the best in salty foods – think seafood, oysters, salad dressings, and raw bar favorites. On the other hand, acidity also works in contrast with fat (think heavier fish, cream sauces, and more) as it cuts through its innate heaviness and keeps your palate salivating for more.
… As Do Fat & Tannin
Similar to the way that acid and salt complement one another, so do tannins and fat. Tannins are the natural components in red (and heavily skin-contacted orange wines) that create a dry sensation in your mouth, similar to the feeling of drinking oversteeped tea. When tannins and fat collide, a chemical reaction actually takes place on your palate. As the molecules combine, fat softens tannins, rendering them more approachable and easy to consume. In the same vein, this chemical reaction also pronounces flavors in food – think of it like the best of both worlds!
Consider the Sauce!
While we often learn to pair wine with a dish’s base (white wine with fish, red wine with meat), food and wine pairings are actually a bit more complex. While taking the base / protein into account, it’s equally important to also consider the sauce being used. Acidic vinaigrettes and cream-based sauces come to life with zesty whites, while tomato-based sauces and mole show their best with acid-forward reds – think Sangiovese, Gamay, and beyond.
What Grows Together Goes Together
They say what grows together goes together, and in the realm of food and wine pairing, this couldn’t be more true. Wine begins its journey in the ground, so it only makes sense that other plants and animals that share the same space would pleasantly coexist. Looking for some go-to regional pairings? Goat cheese and Sancerre is a quintessential regional pairing, as are Jura-based whites and local comté, Sangiovese-led reds with Italian tomato sauce, and more.
When It Comes to Dessert, Sweeter Is Better
We believe that meals should always end on a high (that is, sweet) note. When pairing dessert wine with your favorite sweet treats, always make sure that whatever you pour in the glass is sweeter than what’s in the bowl / plate in front of you.

STMicroelectronics has added a number of new features and peripherals to new devices in its 8-bit Flash MCU ST7Lite microcontroller family, aimed at the automotive, industrial and white goods appliance sectors.
The new ST7FLITE3 MCUs introduce an enhanced 12-bit auto-reload timer and a
master/slave LINSCI asynchronous interface into the 20-pin package. The 12-bit timer offers four independent PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) output channels with programmable Dead Time generation, intended for use in half-bridge driving
mode in motor control applications where PWM signals must not be allowed to overlap; a 2kHz to 4MHz frequency range; programmable duty cycles; polarity control; and programmable output modes.
The embedded hardware LINSCI asynchronous serial interface is designed to allow smooth implementation of LIN (Local Interconnect Network) bus applications, in the automotive, industrial and appliance sectors.
LINSCI is a hardware-enhanced SCI port designed to simplify software design, and to increase system performance by reducing CPU overhead. LIN is typically used in low-end automotive applications for communication between 12V intelligent sensors and actuators, but is also increasingly popular in industrial and consumer systems for reducing wiring complexity.
Other on-chip functions include a highly accurate internal 1MHz oscillator, a fast 10-bit ADC with op-amp, and a trimmable Reset circuit with low voltage detection. The 8 kbytes of Extended Flash memory operates on a single power supply voltage to reduce board complexity and provide fast programming.
The ST7FLITE3 series is supported by a complete set of hardware and software development tools, both from ST and from third parties. Low cost tools such as ST's Stick Programmer and the ST7FLITE-SK/RAIS development kit from Raisonance are also available.
The ST7FLITE3 is available now in the 20-pin SO20 and DIP20 package. Pricing is $1.30 in quantities of 10,000 pieces.

Estate taxes are levied on the total current value of all of the junk you leave behind. Anything you leave to a nonprofit organization or to your spouse is exempt, and there are additional rules to protect family businesses, farms, and the like.
Digging back through seventy years of Congressional tax reform records (1), I was able to reconstruct the historical estate tax rates, brackets, and exemptions back through 1942 (2). I used a dizzying array of spreadsheet functions to correct for inflation and generate this graphic of historical effective tax rates:
|US historical estate tax rates. y-axis is year (2013 on top); x-axis is estate size ($0-127,000,000); each color is 8%|
The top estate tax rate from 1947-1976 was 77%; the top rate dropped to 55% for most of the 1980's and 1990's and now sits at 40%. Meanwhile, the inflation-adjusted estate tax exemption limit - the estate size on which no taxes are paid - has risen substantially:

There’s a simple way to get to our heart: white chocolate.
If you read this space often, you know that we aren’t often bullish on short-run candies and snacks that try to change up their flavor profile to match the trends. We’re not here for pumpkin-spice this or sriracha that.
But white chocolate is a weakness. White chocolate Reese’s and Kit Kats have turned into a staple by now, but the white chocolate alternative might have found its best candy cousin yet — the white chocolate Twix!
Twix variations are hit-and-miss. If you cut the caramel, you’re often doing it wrong. So this keeps all the best elements of the Twix — i.e. that sweet caramel and that crunchy cookie — it just now has a white-chocolate coating.
Please don’t go away, white chocolate Twix!
CHIEF OF THE MONTH
Let’s give it up for this marijuana provider, whose pivot skills and on-his-feet thinking are pretty damn good. The story goes like this, according to Mashable.
A 15-year-old named Christian was forced to trade phone numbers and phones with his mom. So when she got a text that said, “Need bud?” she was a little confused.
Her response: “My son no longer has this phone or no number. Does he need what?”
Determined not to let his homie get caught up, our hero pivots and says in three successive messages: “Bud. A buddy. I heard he lonely af.” That’s a quality save, but according to Mashable, it didn’t work all the way. Mom eventually figured out what it meant.
Nonetheless, we can all use a bud like this guy.
Anita Thompson, wife of the late Hunter S. Thompson, has announced her plans that would allow people to smoke what her husband did. She’s turned down numerous offers from growers who want to put his name on a strain. She has a better idea, as she told The Aspen Times:
“Thompson said she has, however, saved six different strains of cannabis that the “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” author actually smoked. She is now working with a cannabis company to grow those strains — or hybrids of them — and sell them to the public. She said she was glad that she held off on partnering on a marijuana brand until it could be done right.
“I was always steering toward his work and away from his lifestyle, but now I feel like I can talk more openly about his lifestyle,” she said. “I’m proud to do it now. Before, it was a little too risky.”
DID YOU KNOW?
As the tech sector gets more involved with the marijuana industry, you can bet we’re going to see some innovative products. One that’s hitting the consumer-level and looks to be perfect for any novice grow-at-home wannabes is Seedo.
It’s basically a plug-and-wait grower’s kit with a dose of modern technology. It can communicate with you.

Voters in Asheville this fall will decide a $74-million bond referendum. But it will take more than one vote. On the front side of the ballot, Asheville voters will make their choices for president, U.S. Senate, governor, and both branches of the General Assembly. During her ‘State of the city’ address Mayor Esther Manheimer reminded voters to turn their ballots over, because their job won’t be done yet.
“On the back side of everyone’s ballot, there will be three questions on the bonds," said the mayor. "One will be on transportation. One will be on parks and recreation. And one will be on affordable housing. Voters are asked to answer each question separately on whether they approve or don’t approve of the bonds.”
That would allow a voter if they wanted to vote for one bond while saying no to another. The transportation bond question deals with money that would pay for several road paving projects and sidewalk construction. Funds from the Parks and Recreation bond would predominately go to construction at the Wesley Grant Recreation Center in the city, and renovations to Memorial Stadium. The housing affordability bond would raise dollars for a housing project on South Charlotte Street.
***An earlier version of the story incorrectly stated Memorial Stadium was the home Asheville Tourists***

Town OK still needed for Whole Foods store in Brighton
Whole Foods Market on Wednesday officially announced plans to open a store in Brighton in 2017, part of the company's continuing expansion into Upstate New York.
But while the company that bills itself as "America's Healthiest Grocery Store" is confident about its arrival in the Rochester area, town officials haven't given the OK to the project.
"We are still very much in the early stages of the review process," Brighton Town Supervisor Bill Moehle said Wednesday evening. "There will be a thorough environmental review and that will be a public process."
The review includes a traffic impact study, as well as a drainage impact study.
"We'll be listening to neighbors, pro and con," Moehle said. "It's a long ways from being completed."
The proposed Whole Foods Market would be built along Monroe Avenue, northwest of the intersection of Clover Street.
The grocery store specializes in natural and organic foods and is part of a project by Danny and Anthony Daniele. They submitted an application to the town to redevelop the site that currently is home to Mario's Italian Steakhouse, owned by The Daniele Family, and Clover Lanes.
Mario's and Clover Lanes will remain open into 2016, Anthony Daniele said in the news release. He said the family hopes to relocate Mario's not far from that area.
Whole Foods Market recently opened in Albany and a store is planned for the Buffalo suburb of Amherst.

10 Reasons Why Montessori Education Could Solve Our Current Education System Problems
28 May 18
There are people amongst us who stand for cribbing and blaming the education system but are not able to come up with constructive solutions to solve the problem. While pointing fingers at the education system, there arises a need to inculcate the best educational practice and policy for us.
Educators from the world are now emphasizing on Montessori education. Many parents who have experienced Montessori for their children think that it is a life-changing experience not only for kids but also for themselves.
Difficult to believe?
Here, are reasons illustrating the significance of Montessori in improvising the education system:
1. Individual Independence to the Child: The current education system is heavily dependent on the teachers. However, the Montessori Method allows children to complete their tasks on their own, resulting in self-belief and self-confidence to carry on throughout their life.
2. Multi-Age Grouping: In Montessori classrooms, children from different age groups are mixed to turn up their abilities. There is consistency in interaction, problem-solving methods, or socialization. In such an environment, children are never bored and motivated to work in their respective academic areas.
3. Exceptional teaching method: In the most of the stances, children are depressed with the red marks and complaint notes to parents, which is not the case with Montessori education. The Montessori teachers bring special supplements of education based on particular needs of children.
4. No grades and punishment: In Montessori schools, if a child is witnessed making a mistake, the mentors take the opportunity to ask the child to correct it. Montessori schools are made of co-learning and co-existence.
5. Moral and character education: In the Montessori method, the teaching involves taking care of themselves, environment, cooking, cleaning, and social work in the community. Character education is the basis of person’s nature, something that is missing from the current education system.
6. Compels thinking process: Class is designed to bring students the comfort of learning, be at peace in the environment, and develop during the learning process. The tools and methods used in the learning process will compel the children to think about the concept instead of cramming.
7. Freedom to study: There is a freedom to move around in the classroom instead of staying at one place and studying. There is no specification to how long a child can remain engaged with any piece of material. Since, all the subjects are interwoven and are being taught based on the interest of child.
8. Age appropriate education: The education requirement for every age varies, and is based on the interest areas of the child. From 0-6 years, children often start learning and writing, depending on the interest of the child.
9. No comparison among children: The basic theory of Montessori keeps the comparison thing apart. In this environment, students are self-inspired and learn to co-exist in the world, not to compete.
10. Education based on observation: It is a way for adults to learn about what the child needs. If the child bangs on objects, they need a drum or when they are pushing things around, they wish to walk but cannot do it themselves. This is how observation will create harmony while fulfilling the needs of child.
Maria Montessori devoted her life to understanding the willingness of children and laid it out for us. Those who are involved with Montessori, be it educators, parents or students, they understand that it is truly a gift. To know more on Montessori education, observe a Montessori educated adult in routine. You will see the difference.

New LANL study looks at how COVID misinformation spreads
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — COVID was not the only thing spreading for the past year. Researchers at Los Alamos National Labs said they’ve been looking into how misinformation spreads, too.
LANL information scientists like Ashlynn Daughton are trying to dive a bit deeper into why and how COVID conspiracy theories came to be.
“For this study my team and I used machine learning and artificial intelligence to track different conspiracy theories related to COVID-19,” she said.
The team gathered a huge amount of data—1.8 billion COVID-related tweets—and built a machine model that could analyze the tweet and determine whether it was true or false.
“And then we were able to use natural language processing tools to look at the sentiment of tweets associated with COVID misinformation,” Daughton said.
That allowed them to track overall trends and themes.
Daughton said they hope their findings will help stop the spread of conspiracy theories.
“The objective of doing this is that we wanted to be able to look at how conspiracy theories evolve over time, and we wanted to be able to move towards a tool that could help public health officials combat misinformation online,” Daughton added.

When I first moved into my new studio I had the very cheapest, in-the-box, oak cabinets from Lowe’s installed for our “kitchen” (basically where we make coffee and occasionally microwave). The reasons for going el cheapo were twofold: lack of money (the main reason) and knowledge that I could also turn the ugly ducklings into a swans when time and desire came together. They finally did! I forgot to take a “before” shot, but just imagine plain, nondescript oak cabinets over which I stria’d 2 layers of Van Dyke Brown Stain and Seal .I wanted to do something more decorative on them with mirrors-my new favorite medium.
I had 1/4″ mirrors with beveled edges made to the exact size of the raised panels in the centers of the upper cabinets. The silvering on these was distressed using the Antique Mirror Patina Solution.
On the front, I decided to use Metallic Foils (another new fav!), and subtly applied 4 different colors, followed by a layer of antiquing stain. I love how the design reflects off the back of the mirror, adding a lot more depth and dimension.
The mirrors were attached using a combo of double-sided foam tape and lots of mastic. So far it seems to be holding…..Notice how the blue Metallic Foil around the edge picks up the wall color!
Another view (these are HARD to photograph well). The handles were a Home Depot score at $1.06 each!
The lower cabinet doors were treated to the same Metallic Foil colors as the mirror finish and stained as well. I transferred the foil colors using a scrub brush with varying horizontal and vertical strokes to get the woven fabric look.
You can’t see the countertop from this view, but it is beautiful reverse gilded glass with a Moroccan zelij pattenr and I showed it in this post. If you are interested, there are lots more mirror posts here. For my next magic mirror trick I’ll be attempting to conjure up an amazing look for a 54″ round mirror table top on a rustic iron base. Keep your fingers crossed! I don’t NEED any bad luck.

November 20th, 2008 at 8:59 am

I can’t wait to have a mirror or 2 at Peacock Pavilions in Moorish patterns. Yay for me! (eek, so greedy, but it really is all your fault)
December 28th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Beautiful! How do you transfer the foil using a scrub brush????
December 28th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
You lay the foil down, shiny side up, and use a small, nylon cleaning scrub brush in tight circles to transfer!
January 4th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Thanks so much!, wld neon work? And it does not chip off the foil as you brush in the circles?

I stared making a mini album of our newest addition to the family, our cat Moxxi a month or so ago and never got back to it …until a couple days ago. I decided that I wanted to make this album using mainly paper from the Dear Lizzy line, Lucky Charm. I just loved the collection and had recently watched a video on YT made just from the Lucky Charm collection and fell in love with it. I really like the paper even though its not a super new line…just love how the colors coordinate together. I got back into making this album and this time I worked through it pretty fast. I had a ton of fun making it and love how it came out. I stuck with mainly using Lucky Charm and a few sheets from an AC 6×6 paper pad that matched the Lucky Charm collection dead on! The embellishments are things from my stash, Lucky Charm embellishments …and generally just things that coordinated well.
The album itself is a Heidi Swapp album made from wood. The pages were all blank and white and so I decorated them up with sprays, stencils and stamping. Hope you guys like it. I’ll leave you with shots of the album!
The cover was sprayed with the Heidi Swapp navy Color Shine spray. I just added some gold Thickers and this cute felt bow that I got in a pack from Michaels. I added a bit of seam binding to the binder rings …it was sprayed with a green and yellow spray.
The inside back cover and outer back are just sprayed this mint green from the Heidi Swapp sprays.
Thanks for checking out my album. It was made with a lot of love! You can now officially call me a cat lady…and this comes from the girl that was always a dog person. 😉
Here’s a page that I worked on last month for Ashley Laura’s challenge on YT. She wanted you to work with a favorite technique of yours and of course I chose gelatos. I love any time I can add a different medium to layouts to give them an artsy-feel. For this layout I started by coloring different shades of blue around the page. I then added water so the page would have a watercolor-like effect. I used a Prima stamp set for the designs in black to create my own background. I then took 2 photos of myself and decided to create a quadrant where I layered behind each piece. I really like how this monochromatic page came out. It’s probably one of my favorite recent 12×12 layouts. Hope you guys like it too!
Time for another Anything Goes Oddball Art Challenge. This one runs from June 1st until July 1st on the Facebook Group. All you have to do is use one of the awesome Oddball Art Co. digi images to create your project. We’d love for you to join us! Check out Lizzy Love’s Etsy shop to snag a digi.
For this challenge I created another art journal page with the digi. I used the zombie bunny image which I love. I don’t know why but when I saw him I kept thinking of the movie, “Donnie Darko” so I had to use a quote from the movie. I guess he just reminded me so much of Frank the Bunny. To create the page, I used Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Teal and Bronze. Used a few stencils and some awesome lime green acrylic paint. I added modeling paste and decided to alter some tissue paper. I made a wash with my acrylic paint and painted some black and white polka dot tissue paper and then cut it out in a star shape before adhering it down to the background. I used my Jelly Roll pen to write the quote on the center of the page and then outlined this in black. I really how all the colors I use look together.
Come join us on Facebook and play along! The winner of the challenge will get 3 awesome digital images from Lizzy Love’s shop to create with!
Why oh why, am I so bad at regularly updating my blog? I’ll never find out the answer. You’d think it would be easy because I always liked writing/English in school. Anyhow, just wanted to share a layout I created a few weeks ago with you guys. I created my own “kit” from Amy Tangerine “Plus One” collection and a lot of other random bright, fun and summery papers and embellishments. I created this layout from that very kit and love the way it came out. It’s a picture of my boyfriend Bruno standing in front of a beautiful sunset in San Francisco. We took a trip there in 2006 and had so much fun. I decided to do a layout of this old photo as I had an extra copy of it lying around. I can’t remember what paper I used but believe it might be Maggie Holmes (the yellow diagonal striped paper). The paper is bordered by a random page from The Pier collection. I used my Tim Holtz paper distresser on basically every layer of this layout. To create the painted background, I took my brayer and started spreading out some Deep Turquoise paint. I then created lots of layers from my “kit” and used embellishments from Basic Grey’s High Line collection and Amy Tan’s Plus One. The title, “Here We Go” refers to the fact that we’re taking a trip back to California in October and can’t wait to see more of that beautiful state. Hope you guys like the layout. I’m loving it as it feels summery, bright and fun!
Hey Guys! It’s that time again. The Oddball Art Co blog is having a challenge and the team is Glam/Girly. I created an art journal page for my project and had lots of fun messing around with creating my own resist for the first time ever. I used a white Gelly Roll pen and a Heidi Swapp stencil to create all the little white bubbles on the page. Once I sprayed down Dylusions in Bubblegum Pink and Lemon Zest, the white Gelly Roll resisted and left a cool pattern on the page! The flower pattern you see is created by an Inkadinkadoo stamp set with Archival black ink. After that I added some tissue paper (the grid design) for some interest on the page. I just adhered that down with Mod Podge. I did use a little bit of Picked Raspberry Distress paint and just smeared it in various places on the background for a grungier look that still remained a bit pretty! Finished the page up with a border that I drew with my Smash Book Smash pen and my black Pitt big brush pen. The white on the border was made with a Sharpie white oil marker. I added a glittery Prima butterfly for an extra bit of femme. The quote, “Dream Big” is just some Mambi chipboard stickers. Hope you guys like the page! I had tons of fun just experimenting with mixed media techniques.
If you’re itching to show off your skills for the Girly/Glam challenge, visit the blog and upload your crafty creation using a digi that is girly/glam. The challenge will run for a month and the prize is 3 free digi stamps from the Oddball Art Co shop. I would love to see what you guys create!
Below I posted some more close-up shots of my project!
It’s that time again….for a Facebook Challenge for Oddball Art Co. This month I got to use this super cute digi which is one of my favorites from the shop, Big Eyed Girl Image No. 3. I love that she has a cute cluster of stars as a tattoo, just like me. 😉
For my project I created an art journal page. I used some Dylusions spray, lots of acrylic paint, stencils, and even some tissue paper to create different patterns and layers.
There’s a lot going on in this art journal page and some of it kind of got lost in the layers as I worked but I like the overall look of the page. If you’re interested in playing along for our Facebook challenge for May, simply use an Oddball Art Co digi stamp from the Etsy shop and create with us! You have until the end of May to enter your project and the winner will get to choose 3 digi stamps from the shop! Check out the FB group and show us your creation.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creation!
Time for another Oddball Art Co challenge! This time the theme was Easter or Spring. If you’d like to join us head on over to the blog. You can create a project or use one that you’ve made for Easter or Spring and be entered to win 3 digi stamps from the Oddball Art Co Etsy shop. You have until May 14th to join in and play along! For my project I decided to create some bookmarks using this adorable little zombie bunny. He comes with the Zombie Girl digi but I just felt like he stole the show so I had to showcase him for this project.
I created four different bookmarks and colored up the zombie bunny in different pastel shades for the Easter theme. The bookmarks were pretty simple to make since I had to keep them relatively flat to fit into a book. I cut 4 pieces of paper in approximately 2 inches by 4 inches and backed it to make it more sturdy. I then sprayed the bookmark with different Ranger Dylusions sprays. I decorated each bookmark differently with random washi tape, stamps, stickers, and used stencils and cut-outs. I really like the way they all came out. They’re fun and funky and definitely useful. I think making a set of bookmarks is a great way to make an inexpensive gift for friends. Hope you guys will join us for the challenge. If you decide to, let me know I’d love to check out what you create!
Below are some close-ups of the individual bookmarks :


The Ajax F2 was a French licensed copy of the Italian T.33. This mask was used by civilians before the Second World War.
The mask is composed of the following parts:
The faceblank, made of moulded rubber, has the following parts attached to it:
- the housing for the exhale valve
- the threaded inlet piece
- the eyepieces
- the straps
The inlet piece allows the filter to be threaded in. Unlike the T.33, most of the times there is no inlet valve, as it's present in the filter. Only the earliest pieces have an inlet valve, using the same assembly of the Ajax F1.
The exhale valve allows exhaled air to go outside and prevents poisoned air to get in. It's made of rubber, it opens under the light pressure of exhaling and closes hermetically under the negative pressure produced by the inhalation. It can be easily inspected and possibly replaced by unscrewing the lid of its housing. The exhale valve is identical to the one of the T.33 and fully interchangeable.
The eyepieces are made of "Triplex" glass, which itself is composed of two glass layers and a thin sheet of cellulose. This kind of glass prevents poisoned air to get into the mask even after being hit, as only the outside layer of glass would be shattered and the other two layers would maintain the seal. The glasses are affixed to the mask through aluminium frames. Another cellulose lens is inserted in each socket; it's covered in a special material that helps to prevent fogging.
The 5-strap system on this mask is almost identical to the hook system of the T.33, with one frontal strap, two elastic straps at the temples and two hooked elastic straps at the cheeks.
The marking on the left side usually shows just the size (I to IV) and the text "AJAX" is printed above it, occasionally the full name and size both with the roman number and the French size system.
The Ajax F2 came with a civilian filter, a metal or cardboard tube carrier and occasionally some instructions. The filter could be of many different types, all with a 42 mm thread and an inlet valve at the top.


Animal rights activists targeted by Homeland Security-created Fusion Center.
A Facebook event page created by animal rights activists last September was monitored by a Texas counterterrorism unit, recently uncovered emails show.
According to news site MuckRock.com, which obtained the documents through a public records request, a counterterrorism specialist with the Texas Department of Public Safety alerted fellow employees to the “National Weekend of Action” shortly after discovering the page.
Hosted by the Institute for Critical Animal Studies, the event’s description called for activists to set up film viewings, workshops, protests and vegan potlucks to “educate the public about federal laws that specifically target animal advocates.”
Information regarding the event was shared widely throughout Texas agencies, even making its way to the Austin Regional Intelligence Center (ARIC).
“We will be monitoring as well,” an ARIC officer wrote in a response email.
Despite ARIC policy forbidding the collection of information on individuals and groups unrelated to terrorism, an Austin police spokesperson seemingly defended the action after being pressed by MuckRock.
“The ARIC is tasked, from an all-crimes perspective, with keeping the citizens of Austin and the surrounding communities safe,” the spokesperson wrote. “As part of this mission, the ARIC will examine unrestricted, publicly available social media solely with the intent of looking for bad actors that would cause harm.”
The incident remains somewhat unsurprising given the findings from a 2012 bi-partisan Senate report on fusion centers such as the ARIC, which found the centers to be a “useless and costly effort that tramples on civil liberties.”
Last January a similarly benign group known as “The Rainbow Family” was also targeted by law enforcement for their radical advocacy of “peace and love.” Police requested a quarter of a million dollar grant from the Department of Homeland Security to create a mobile command unit to spy on the “extremist” group.
A New Hampshire police chief also requested cash from DHS in 2013 in order to obtain an armored military vehicle, citing the threat posed by “Occupy activists and libertarians” as justification.

Books: Philip Roth’s Zuckerman has left the building
“Exit Ghost” by Philip Roth (Houghton Mifflin, $26).
Can one be a major writer, talented, famous, lionized and still be a fool?
The case for the prosecution is “Exit Ghost” by Philip Roth. Roth is a very gifted writer. His eye is keen, his descriptive powers as dazzling as the days of his scathing fiction about his New Jersey Jewish upbringing and community. Roth is still able to evoke pathos for his favorite subject, Philip Roth.
He even suggests self-awareness about the angry young artist he once was. In this book he writes of a young litterateur on the make: “Those grand grandstand days when you shrink from nothing and you’re only right. Everything is a target; you’re on the attack; and you, and you alone, are right.”
Ah yes, those days young people outgrow.
Well, some do. Roth, apparently, does not.
This book is blighted. Roth’s great subject reminds me of what Emerson said in his journal about Bronson Alcott: “He never quotes; he never refers; his only illustration is his own biography. His topic yesterday is Alcott on the 17th October; today, Alcott on 18th October.”
Roth’s subject is his body, more accurately, his genitalia. There was his youthful lust, his middle age lust and now we are unwilling voyeurs to his aged, unavailing lust. The reader can trace the distasteful peregrinations of Roth’s libido through a series of books designed to illuminate the modern condition. His subject is Zuckerman’s (Zuckerman is one of Roth’s fictional alter-egos) sexual status on 17th October. Tomorrow it will be Zuckerman’s sexual status on 18th October. Throw in some magnificent verbiage, a few political diatribes, include a young nubile woman always interested in him and usually married, and presto — the novel is cooked.
One thing we do not get in a Roth novel is moral reflection. Not on his own actions, at any rate. Adultery is a great subject in literature; without it we would eviscerate the western canon, from Tolstoy to Flaubert. But usually it entails some moral reflection. Adultery without angst is not literature, just license. In Roth, sexual conquest is an entitlement pure and simple. In this novel, incest and adultery are employed (the incest remains cloudy) for spice, and the great themes of art are reduced to prostates and prostrations. We suffer through considerable anatomically excruciating detail about the results of his prostate cancer; yet again, the degradation entails no elevation.
Does it read well? Apart from a multipage obituary of George Plimpton grafted onto the story that has nothing whatsoever to do with the book, yes, it does. Even better if you read the far more carefully crafted prequel, “The Ghost Writer.” E.I. Lonoff, the writer who serves as Zuckerman’s mentor, has real substance. His life, and the young student who desires him, recur in surprising ways in the new book. But Zuckerman’s barbaric yawps make it clear that he really has no interest in other characters except as they move him, irritate him, excite him, depress him.
In the chronicle of wasted time and wasted talent, could Roth not have cared for more than scabrous images and salacious dreams? “Exit Ghost” is a book about old age, a book in which old age has taught the author nothing. One of the consolations of age is said to be that the ego grows less overbearing. Roth remains unconsoled.
Philip Roth is a brilliant man and a major writer. When he turns his pen to portraying the world, or — as he did memorably in “The Counterlife” — to understanding the opacities of identity, the result is remarkable.
Oscar Wilde famously said, when confronted by a customs official, “I have nothing to declare but my genius.”
“Exit Ghost” is the work of someone who has nothing to declare but his concupiscence. We learned about that 40 years ago, in “Portnoy’s Complaint.” The intervening decades have diminished Roth’s capacity without increasing his wisdom.
