Fans Toys must know its spring because they have been preparing to release tons of spring-fresh new characters out into the wild. With their FT-07 Stomp (aka MP Sludge) on the cusp of release, and these two ready for prime time not too far after, the 3rd party MP ranks on our shelves are going to be getting a bit more crowded.
Here at Toy Dojo we were privileged to get an early look at two of their more anticipated pending releases, the decidedly evil looking FT-14 Forager (their take on a certain kicking insectoid robot) and FT-15 Willis (their take the hologram slinging, robot cat wrangling, and human character befriending military robot). We're going to change things up a bit in this article and focus a bit more on interesting factoids and tips for the figures since this is really more of a preview.
First up, let's talk Forager. He gets the benefit of being the last in a trio of insects so in theory he should be the best of the bunch right? Mostly yes, some no. He definitely feels more refined in his silhouette than say Grenadier and Mercenary. There is no denying the lineage or the fact that they go together, but Forager definitely looks the best out of the three as far as robot mode goes in my opinion. His articulation is on par with the other 2 insect figures and he definitely has it where it counts in the weight department, managing to feel actually the heaviest of the three thanks to well-placed die cast.
His weapon integrates well into insect mode and he holds it perfectly even on the pre-production sample. Including 3 small energon cubes continues as a trend with this release even though I find the shade of purple a little off (but this is nothing new as all the figures energon cubes have been this same shade). Also he includes a surprising but welcome additional accessory in a die case replacement head antenna for Grenadier. Though I never had an issue, the plastic nature of the piece was problematic for some people and caused breakage. With this replacement part, the danger of a snap is removed. It was a neat gesture and will no doubt be appreciated by anyone bothered by the issue.
Where I think Forager falls down a bit is in the transformation department. The legs are well thought out and the insect legs fold up much more compact than previous FT bugs. Where things get a bit buggy is in the way the robot arms and insect arms have to change place during the transformation. The design for the chrome wings includes an opening flap that is very frustrating to work around and does make me a bit nervous. As this is a pre-production sample, its possible things will improve before release, but for now getting those arms switched out is definitely stressful and there isn't really a great way I have figured out to make it easier. An important tip, although not immediately apparent the robot head actual clam shells in half to make getting the insect face cover MUCH easier to get out. If you don't read instructions this is an easy step to miss! Overall I think the figure meets the standard of its pedigree and will be a welcome addition to your other 2 insectoid buddies.
Finally let's talk about Willis. "What you talkin bout Willis" you might say? No? Ok, bad joke averted. Unless you are new to the 3rd party scene, you are no stranger to multiple versions of a character being available from various designers. This isn't the only 3rd party version of "Hound" available to you with the likes of TFC and Maketoys both having already taken a stab at the character – Gun Dog having been the stand out of the two. Personally speaking, though I love Gun Dog, you can't argue he takes a lot more cues from the toy than the cartoon model of the character. Many people prefer that look, I just don't happen to be one of them (though I can't deny it's charm and impressive engineering). Willis was always going to be my "Hound" unless something horrible swayed me away. Having previewed him in hand, I can tell you I am not swayed from my original opinion. If the cartoon is your shelf bible, this is the one for you!
Willis NAILS the visual cue of the character in hand. Both the Jeep-inspired alt mode and the robot mode manage to make you feel like the character jumped out of the screen. His articulation is not as robust as some of the other characters in the line which admittedly was a little disappointing but this also wasn't the most acrobatic character in the series. A double jointed elbow would have added some additional character and the lack of a skirt cut makes forward movement a bit restricted in the legs. His coloring and face sculpt is great. We actually get a couple faces and (shades of color on said faces) to pick from which is welcome – and they are both good! Also, rubber tires are always a welcome addition.
Accessories are well thought out and for the most part well implemented. The spare tire cover and gas can are both present and removable but both can't fit in robot mode without some creative placement. He includes no less than 3 guns which is AWESOME and retroactively a great nod to his Michael Bay iteration's penchant for weaponry. The machine gun placement which works only in his vehicle mode includes a great moving piston and is sized perfectly for human scale figures to use. Both versions of his rifle are included (the shorter cartoon snub nose and the toy version) and the toy rifle even includes an adapter so it can be used in vehicle mode. Also included is a clear plastic scuba mask which is good but in practice doesn't stay attached to the head very well (just friction).
Willis is quite a bit more elaborate in the transformation department than his visuals would immediately imply. Everything is fairly intuitive and every bit has its place but that's not to say it isn't without challenges. The first couple of times you can't get the arms and tires to fold in or unfold like they should because you don't have the torso bar bent right you will think you are doing something wrong. Also for that step in general, the clearance is very tight and orientation is important. Watching a video review definitely helps visualize this if you don't have instructions. Also getting the rear feet/legs folded without gaps can take some finesse.
Overall these figures were fun with each having their own little quirks and intricacies that make them equal parts challenging and interesting. I look forward to seeing the final release versions and seeing how they stack up to the competition. If you are on the hunt for your very own FT-14 Forager you can place a pre-order here while FT-15 Willis can be found here. As always thanks for checking out this article and always check for the latest news on our Facebook page and website. Until next time!
Wait, didn't we do this one already? Takara is back to take another masterpiece stab at the young matrix templar who famously couldn't "get out of the way" during the epic final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Hold on to your fishing poles and your twin photon rifles because this is a review and perspective article on Takara's MP-28 Hot Rodimus.
It's hard to immediately start talking about MP-28 without at least mentioning the fact that this is technically the second figure this character has received in Takara's masterpiece line. MP-09 released way back in 2011 was probably the most ambitious masterpiece ever released (and possibly since). With a design intended to capture both the pre-leader Hot Rod and the post-matrix gifted Rodimus Prime characters, it could be argued that Takara bit off more than they could chew.
For Takara, the challenge of creating a toy that had 2 vehicle modes, 2 robot modes, and was based on a character design that frankly cheated right and left in the animation was daunting. This was apparent in the MP-09 release where numerous compromises were made. Scale was probably the largest issue as the vehicle mode and stature of the robot mode for Hot Rod in the animation were intended to be several factors smaller than Rodimus Primes. For MP-09, the result was a Hot Rod car that, while very accurate to the animation, was hilariously gigantic when put in scale with the later cars released in the line. MP-09's Rodimus Prime "Space Winnebago" by comparison looks right at home next to MP-10.
In MP-09's robot mode there was little difference between Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime aside from a different face sculpt, slight variations in backpack wing height, and a minor increase in height created by modifying the alignment of the hips. All of this was famously marred by reports of severely thin connecting tabs, broken leg and elbows joints, scratched paint applications, and a transformation that was frustrating to say the least. A perfect figure it surely was not but, un-manipulated on a shelf, it was a beautiful piece in anyone's collection. Now 5 years later can Takara write the wrongs of MP-09 and finally bring us a masterpiece Hot Rod that truly has the touch? Perhaps, with a few steps forward and in some cases a few tip toes back along the way.
Starting in vehicle mode, it becomes apparent right away that MP-28 took a little more curve appeal from the original 1986 toy then from the animation model. Placed side by side it's actually a little difficult to tell MP-28 apart from his older G1 figure. There weren't jarring differences between the animation and the toy to begin with but the subtle curves from the hood along the door panels is definitely more squared off like the toys appearance. The excellent paint work and translucent plastic (the windshield and visor are indeed a proper deep blue and not "whitish clear" as some early samples were shown) work well together as do the artful flame design on the hood and the chrome accents along the engine block and exhaust pipes. Although not riding much higher off the ground then MP-09, this Hot Rod does not invoke the same burden to get everything aligned "just so" to allow the vehicle to roll on the ground as its predecessor did. Dedicated notches for the legs and collar keep the wheels well below the robot kibble. With a minor adjustment to the engine block, either of MP-28's photon rifles can be hood-mounted just like the original toy. Additional dedicated ports on the roof can be used as an alternative storage spot. No storage is provided for the figures other accessories in this mode.
Transformation to robot mode is thankfully NOT the ordeal that MP-09 was, though there can be some steps missed going back to vehicle mode if you aren't paying attention. Some clever bits of engineering are present in the way the arms flip around to cover the wheels on the shoulders. Also of note is the surprisingly solid way the entire top of the vehicle mode compresses and locks into the backpack. The legs borrow a bit of the "open leg panel and accordion out the legs" trick that most of the recent Combiner Wars figures have sported though it's much more artfully managed here. The backpack on MP-09 was notorious for coming undone and fans will be glad to know it stays in place much more securely here. The transformation ultimately ends up being fun and intuitive enough that I had no issues performing it without instructions the first time while still providing a healthy level of difficulty. MP-28 is definitely a figure you will feel like transforming a few times if for no other reason than the sheer joy that it doesn't take an hour to do like MP-09 did.
AB CRUNCH! Almost 90-degrees of ab crunch that really adds a ton of character and posing possibilities to this figure!
Although not quite animation accurate in how it opens, there is an opening panel in the chest that is dedicated to storing MP-10's Matrix of Leadership (which sadly is not included). Other accessories include the famous fishing pole from his scene with Daniel in the beginning of the 1986 movie, the saw blade weapon he used to rescue Kup from the giant roboctipus in the same film, as well as both of his proton rifles. Personally I found the saw blade to be at least 30% too large for the figure but the other accessories are well thought out and help add value – ironic for a character who frankly almost never used any accessories in the animation. None of my figures joints felt loose and all accessories fit in their appropriate slots firmly.
My gripes with the figure largely come down to things that I consider aesthetic and proportional nit-picks. The screw holes that keep the forearms together are displayed front and center on the figures arms which I think was just poorly thought out. The figures shoulder width can sometimes appear to be a bit too wide in some angles but it was an infrequent concern. In images the flatness of the chest comes off looking a bit out of place as does the slightly less pronounced popped collar, but in hand these issues didn't bother me much. I think for pure adherence to the animation model, MP-28 is great but won't quite beat out MP-09 in this area. The curves of the chest and the popped collar are definitely more in line with the appearance of Hot Rod in MP-09 then they are in MP-28, but that's not to say that MP-28 isn't close enough. The only other concern worth mentioning is that due to the sometimes wide appearance of the shoulders, this can accentuate the relative lack of girth in the legs and make his overall lower body appear perhaps too thin. Perspective and personal aesthetics play a big part as to if this might bother you or not. Much like Ironhide before him, Hot Rod isn't necessarily the most photogenic figure. How the figure looks and feels in hand is far superior to any images out there so don't form an opinion on photography alone or you might be missing out on something you really might love in person. As a reminder to folks in the greater Austin Texas area, Toy Dojo now maintains a brick and mortar shop and you are certainly welcome to come down and check out Hot Rod in our display and see for yourself.
My final few thoughts on this figure are definitely overwhelmingly positive and a recommendation for purchase even if you already own MP-09. The playability, poseability, scale, and overall improvements in many areas makes this figure worth it to me. While not perfect, its improvements over MP-09 in the areas of fragility, transformation, and overall fun factor make this figure land near the top of my list for Takara's recent efforts. While Ironhide still remains my favorite of the year so far, Hot Rod is certainly not far behind as my second. When it comes to this figure, experience truly is the benchmark of maturity and actions really do speak louder than words.

I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called 10 reasons why editors don't reply to your pitch. and is located at https://www.writerscentre.com.au/blog/10-reasons-why-editors-dont-reply-to-your-pitch/.
As an editor and journalist, I've experienced life on both sides of the fence.
When you're a magazine editor, you are the one who holds all the power about which stories gets published. It's your job to get the right combination of stories and stay within budget. However, when you're a freelance writer, you pitch your story ideas to editors, living in hope that they will say 'Yes'.
In this post, I wanted to share some of the reasons that editors – and by that I include features editors, section editors, deputy editors and so on – might say 'no' to what you think is a brilliant story idea.
1. They're interested in the story but are waiting to discuss it at a features meeting – which could be several weeks away, depending on the title.
2. They're interested in the story but have enough to be going on with, so have put it in a "possibles" file. The story could work, but is not so good that they need to snap it up in case the freelancer takes it to someone else.
3. The deputy editor is interested in the story but needs to run it past their editor, who's off seeing their family in the UK for a few weeks. In the meantime, they're running the show, so are trying their darndest to look like Miranda Priestley from The Devil Wears Prada on the outside, while internally they feel like Ted the lawyer from Scrubs.
4. They're on deadline and too frantic to respond to non-urgent emails – and on some titles that busy period could be a couple of weeks.
7. The editorial assistant, who on certain mags sends standard replies to rejected freelancers, left to go overseas six weeks ago and has yet to be replaced, because it's mid-February and according to the powers-that-be it's getting near to the end of the financial year and we'll have to wait a while to recruit any new staff.
9. The email is misspelled, poorly constructed, finishes with the phrase "cheers and beers!" (I had one like that once) and has been printed out and stuck on the kitchen noticeboard, for the amusement of the rest of the staff.
10. The person emailing has no experience and thinks that deciding one day to switch from being a bank teller to being a freelance writer means they're immediately good enough to be published in Good Weekend/Sunday/Sunday Life/The Australian features section/That's Life!/NW/Your Dog.
These days, of course, I'm freelance and furiously harassing all the people I used to work alongside, or even oversee, and thinking, "Why won't the bastards reply to my email?" Ooh, who's this knocking at my door with a phone in their hand?

Carpets have been the floor coverings of choice for many a century now, although even though they have been around for such a long time, they're still the first and only choice for many modern homeowners.
If you're one of the many millions whose floors are covered in carpets, one thing which you're more than likely to be aware of is the fact that the look and condition of carpets can deteriorate really quickly when they're constantly being trodden over.
Even in very busy homes though, carpets don't have to quickly deteriorate beyond repair, as regular professional cleaning can help to keep carpets in peak condition.
Even when you're really tempted to try and clean carpets yourself, remember that professional carpet cleaning is far preferable to a DIY effort, as the results are likely to be far more impressive and the professionals will treat your carpets with the utmost of care.
When calling in the carpet cleaning London professionals, it's worth calling them in to clean all of the carpets in your home. This will ensure that any inconvenience and expenditure is kept to an absolute minimum, and it will also ensure that the floors throughout your home look amazing.

Tiny House Made of CNC-cut Panels
Home/Design/Modern design/Tiny House Made of CNC-cut Panels
The tiny house movement has come a long way these last couple of years, which has led to many innovative approaches to constructing these sustainable dwellings. The tiny house firm Extraordinary Structures of Santa Fe, NM is one of those companies that has been pushing the envelope in finding new and innovative ways of building these structures. Their latest offering, the so-called SaltBox was constructed with the help of digital fabrication.
The SaltBox rests atop a 24-foot-long trailer and measures 200 sq ft (18.6 sq m). It was constructed using a rapid-assembly system, which the firm has developed. This method of construction utilizes CNC-cut materials and a panelized system of SIPs which greatly shorten the time it takes to build this tiny home. An envelope made of permeable house wrap and a thermal wrap of mineral wool board makes up the first layer of the home. Next is the metal exoskeleton made out of 22-gauge steel, which serves the purpose of acting as a rain shield. The roofline of the SaltBox is asymmetrical, and this shape was inspired by the traditional New England saltbox-type roof. It was also chosen because it makes it easier to install solar panels.
The interior was kept quite open and minimalist. They left the panels and joints exposed, which gives it a very modern aesthetic. To save space they've also installed built-in storage cabinets, and a Murphy bed that can be folded up and thus moved out of the way during the day. When lowered, a couple of ottomans provide support for it.
The kitchen and bathroom share a wall, so that they could reduce the number of plumbing lines that needed to be installed. The kitchen is fitted with a large sink, a two-burner induction cooktop, a fume hood and a small smart drawer refrigerator. The bathroom features a Japanese-style ofuro tub, which was handmade out of cedar. The home also features a composting toilet. Over the bathroom is a small loft, which can either be used as a reading nook, or a guest bedroom. The home is heated using a high-efficiency gasifier woodstove, which takes up very little room.
The fully fitted version of this home sold for $82,500, while the company also offers a stripped down, basic version for $50,000.

NOW Commends Obama on Today's Top-Notch, Diverse Nominations
Released on December 1, 2008
As a candidate, President-elect Barack Obama made clear his commitment to equal opportunity, and today's cabinet announcements begin to fulfill those values. I know from personal experience that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is admired and trusted around the world and, as she carries out the responsibilities of Secretary of State, I am confident that the well-being of the world's women will be on her mind.
In addition, Gov. Janet Napolitano as Secretary of Homeland Security and Eric Holder as Attorney General will bring knowledge and experience to the Cabinet, and well as a commitment to the core values of equality and human rights. NOW has worked with all three of these nominees, and we look forward to collaborating with them on violence against women and other civil, immigrant and women's rights concerns.
Finally, Susan Rice will bring foreign policy depth as ambassador to the United Nations, and the intended return of that position to Cabinet rank will bring the count to three women (of nearly two dozen possible) at that level. We hope that the diversity of today's nominations will be mirrored in future selections, and look forward to working with the Obama-Biden administration to expand equality and human rights at home and abroad.

The Adult Lessons That Roald Dahl Taught Us As Children
Just because a story features children, or tells a tale from the viewpoint of a child, or even has a conventionally happy ending, doesn't exactly mean that this story is a kid's story. However, it can mean that it is for children.
Such is the case with famed, beloved, and sometimes controversial Roald Dahl. The British author has penned some of the most acclaimed children's stories ever, with such tales adapted for stage and screen, and passed down through generations.
They are—among other things—dark, disturbing, and grotesque. And perfect for children.
Where Dahl triumphed was telling stories about children by rightfully expecting more from his readers, and challenging them. He propelled them to be more mature, more thoughtful, and with a better ability to hold opposing thoughts in their heads. What's more, he prepared them for adulthood in a variety of ways, mainly by exposing them to realities, good and bad, and limitations that are arbitrarily placed and which can be broken. Some of his lessons aren't even intentional.
That some adults were given pause by how his stories unfold makes a pretty good reason for children to read them. Here are the adult lessons Dahl taught to children.
Gluttony is Evil
Dahl sharply attacks gluttony and excess throughout his stories, especially in two of his most notable. In both Matilda and The Witches, two characters are obsessed with food, particularly chocolate, and their fates are not pleasant ones. They are embarrassed and exploited, and while they may be on the side of the heroine, they suffer at the hands of the villains.
Then, of course, there is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the majority of which condemns children who are obsessed: with TV, food, chewing gum, and mainly themselves. They too meet unfortunate ends, serving as gruesome and uncomfortable lessons for those who never look beyond their own desires. Anytime the author wants to paint a character as an antagonist, he often describes them as being obese. Dahl loathes selfishness. And sugar, it seems.
Age is Irrelevant
For Dahl, someone's age brings with it no assumptions—good or bad—of maturity, capability, wisdom, or morality. In his tales, it's not simply one age group against another, as would be such an easy crux upon which to rest. Dahl penned tales more complex than that, with children, adults, and the elderly that were a mix of heroic and villainous, imaginative and dull, selfless and greedy.
Charlie has one particularly loving grandparent and others who are not so much. The boy's caring grandmother in The Witches imparts folktales upon him, a loving nod by Dahl to his mother who did the same and inspired him. Then there is the grandmother in George's Marvellous Medicine, who grew underappreciated and annoyed, then stubbornly drank a potion and disappeared. There was much rejoicing.
As a corollary, your size and species are also irrelevant: some giants are friendly while some are irksome, and the same goes for bugs.
Similar to the challenges Dahl offered against assumptions with age, his stories are rife with children being defiant in the face of authority. Mainly because those in such positions aren't always the ideal role models, and certainly shouldn't just be assumed to be the paragons they're supposed to be. Dahl spent lots of time at boarding schools, developing an insubordinate inclination; understandable, given that his memoirs reveal the punishment that would take place.
So parents, the elderly, and teachers—roles that children are conditioned to blindly revere—may not have anyone else's interests at heart. Some kids in Dahl's stories disregard parents' requests while others blatantly leave them out of their decision–making. Many are caught up with their own lives and ignore children, while others simply lack imagination. Dahl seems to also suggest that just because you have a bed and a home, doesn't mean you need to stay there.
Stay Open-Minded
The heroes of Dahl's tales, old and young alike, are curious, open-minded, and imaginative. They share stories of the mythical and fantastical; they are transported to magical and colourful worlds; they take trips without a safety net, going on far-away adventures. Our heroes aren't phased by strange creatures; our villains are.
What's more, they do things that are scary and uncertain. George mixes potions; Matilda faces down a vile headmaster; Sofia befriends a giant; James runs away on a giant piece of fruit navigated by sentient bugs. Dahl doesn't seem to care for parents that go to every length to protect and coddle children.
Death Exists
Perhaps some parents want to shield children from the realities and hardships of life, but Dahl tackles this head on. Death is prominent in his stories in part because it was prominent in his life, and from a very early age. When he was just three years old, his sister died at the age of seven from appendicitis. Weeks later, pneumonia befell his father and took the man's life. Tragedy continued: Dahl's daughter Olivia died at the age of seven. Trauma and illness would befall his son and wife.
So, death finds its way into his stories, rather matter of factly. The seven-year-old boy in The Witches goes to live with his grandmother after his parents die. James' parents are killed by an escaped rhinoceros (and not long after, his evil aunts are 'accidentally' trampled). Similarly, some characters are orphans as stories begin; their parents simply don't exist in these worlds.
Most jarring, perhaps, is the case of the boy in The Witches, who at the end opts to stay a mouse instead of transform back to a human. That's because as a mouse, he and his grandmother will die at relatively the same time, for he does not want to live a life without her.
One may fall in love with Dahl's characters and stories, admiring the author for sharing such magical, inventive tales. However, Dahl isn't perfect, and neither are his works. That is, close inspection raises some eyebrows, and inadvertently we all learn that our idols may not be as pure as we want them to be.
There are questions of potential racism in James, problematic depictions of women in The Witches, and then of course there are the comments Dahl made about Hitler. He cheated on his wife, and after being shot down during World War II while serving in the Royal Air Force, he worked as a spy. You can scour writings from a young Dahl that contain racist, sexist commentary. Maybe Matilda wasn't originally as pro-female as it was thought; maybe Dahl just wanted to make money. Then again, maybe his faults were a product of times and hardship; maybe his works are super feminist.
Either way, his characters aren't perfect, either. Our heroes lie and deceive in order to save the day; sometimes their guardians are ignored, and sometimes they are killed. Sometimes adventure and freedom leaves a wake of destruction. And sometimes the world just sucks. Such is life.

Perfect Imperfections by Cardeno C.
Hollywood royalty Jeremy Jameson has lived a sheltered life with music as his sole focus and only friend. Before embarking on yet another international concert tour, he wanders into a bar in what he considers the middle of nowhere and meets a man who wins him over with his friendly smile and easy-going nature. Accountant slash bartender slash adventure-seeker Reg Moore has fun talking and drinking with The Jeremy Jameson and can't say no when the supposedly straight rock star makes him a once in a lifetime offer: keep him company on his tour by playing the part of his boyfriend.
Listening to music, traveling the world, and jumping off cliffs is fun. Falling in love is even better. But to stay with Jeremy after the stage lights dim, Reg will need to help him realize there's nothing pretend about their relationship.
Jeremy Jameson, Rockstar and lonely man, walks into a bar in the middle of no where to get away from everything for a while. There he meets bartender Reggie Moore. When he starts talking to Reggie he realizes he's the perfect person to be his companion during his touring. He makes Reggie a offer he can't refuse, travel with him all over the world and keep him company, only one catch, Reggie needs to be his "pretend boyfriend". What Reg plans to show Jeremy is there's nothing pretend about their relationship. A wonderful M/M about self-discovery and love. Not appropriate for the under 18 crowd due to some seriously hot sex. I absolutely love Cardeno's books and I jump at every chance I get to read one. Independent reviewer for Paranormal Romance & Authors That Rock.

After a mutual laughing fit about yet another of Reg's college tales, Reg put an end to Jeremy's joy by saying, "Hey, Jeremy, man, I don't want to rush you out of here, but we usually close at midnight during the week, and it's almost one."
"Oh." Suddenly feeling sober and tense again, Jeremy rubbed his hand over his nose and reached for his leather jacket, which he'd tossed over the empty barstool next to him hours earlier. "Sure. Yeah. Sorry about that." He pulled a handful of bills out of his wallet and threw them on the bar, not bothering to count them. "Keep the change."
Keys in hand, Jeremy climbed off his stool, planning to leave the bar. He was surprised when Reg darted his upper body forward and snagged his keys.
"Hold on, man. It's late and you're drunk. Is there someone who can come pick you up?"
Jeremy snorted. "No. I'm in, uh…." He tried to remember the name of the nothing little town. "Whatever Park." He rolled his eyes. "Why would I know anybody here?"
"Wow. I've had people turn into violent shitheads when I cut them off, but snobby diva is new." Reg flung his everpresent towel into the bar sink and locked up the register. "I was going to offer you my couch for the night, 'cause there aren't any motels in walking distance, and I have better beer than we serve here, but you can go ahead and sleep it off in your car, superstar. I'll bring you your keys in the morning."
"Oh." Hearing that Reg hadn't been throwing him out but had, instead, been trying to change locations, vanquished Jeremy's resurfacing tension. With that relief came the realization that he had acted like all the stuck-up assholes he couldn't stand. "Crap." Falling into a nervous childhood habit he hadn't been fully able to shake, Jeremy tugged the collar of his salmon-colored T-shirt into his mouth and chewed on it. "I didn't mean to, uh…" He rubbed his palm over his eyes. "I'm sorry that I…" A thought slammed into him, making him flinch and then gape at Reg. "You called me superstar."
"I also called you a snobby diva." Reg arched his eyebrows. "Are you ready to earn a spot on my couch and a bottle of Kilt Lifter by playing nice?"

Science shows us why taking memories at face value is risky.
We are often unaware of just how flawed—or even false—our recollections can be. Psychologist Julia Shaw, author of The Memory Illusion, uncovers new reasons to exercise caution when consulting your mental pictures of the past.
In an experiment reported in Psychological Science, Shaw and colleagues persuaded college students that they were guilty of an imaginary crime. In addition to recounting a true, emotional event from each student's life—based on accounts from parents or caregivers—the researchers hinted at a theft or minor assault supposedly committed years earlier. After a series of interviews and visualization exercises, 70 percent of students relayed details from the incident ("remembering" throwing a rock at someone, for example). Social suggestion can produce similar results. "Your family might say that they took you to Disneyland as a child, when it was actually your sister," Shaw says. Envisioning the details of the trip can lead you to think you are remembering them.
Imperfect memory-making processes, from selective perception to faults in how the brain stores memories, cause us to remember the past with less than total accuracy. "Most of our memories are probably just a little bit false, like remembering that our friend wore a blue sweater rather than a red one to a coffee date," Shaw says. Emotion and distraction can also cloud our memory: When we are threatened or our attention is otherwise diverted, the person or object that has captured our attention can blind us to peripheral details.
Identifying false memories may be next to impossible.
New research suggests that "if we watch videos of people recalling true and false memories, we cannot reliably tell the difference," Shaw says. "We may actually be better off flipping a coin." How can we know whether our memories are inaccurate or imaginary when other people are unable to correct us? Comparing our recollections with those of others has its flaws, since memory corruption affects everyone. Moreover, false memories are easy to take at face value if we recall them in considerable detail: "We often assume that there is no way that a complex description could be fictitious." The only truly reliable form of corroboration, Shaw says, is hard evidence, like photos, emails, and social media posts that document past events.

Taklung Setrung Rinpoche
In news– Recently, the Nyingma sect of theTibetan Buddhist circles has identified a boy from Spiti in Himachal Pradesh as the reincarnation of the late Taklung Setrung Rinpoche.
Who was Taklung Setrung Rinpoche?
He was a scholar known for his knowledge of Tibetan Tantric school.
The Rinpoche used to live in the Takthok monastery of Ladakh, one of the oldest monasteries related to the Nyingma sect.
He was born in 1926 in central Tibet near the famous Yamdrok Lake, and he was recognized as an incarnation of the great master Ngok Chöku Dorje.
The prominent Dorje Drak affiliated Taklung Tse monastic center, the head of which he is considered to be, used to be located near his birthplace in Taklung region.
He lived in exile in Simla, Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir.
About Nyingma sect-
It is the oldest of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
It is also often referred to as Ngangyur, "order of the ancient translations".
The Nyingma school is founded on the first lineages and translations of Buddhist scriptures from Sanskrit into Tibetan in the eighth century, during the reign of King Trisong Detsen (r. 710–755).
Nyingma traditional histories consider their teachings to trace back to the first Buddha Samantabhadra (Güntu Sangpo) and Indian mahasiddhas such as Garab Dorjé, Śrī Siṃha and Jñānasūtra.
Traditional sources trace the origin of the Nyingma order in Tibet to figures associated with the initial introduction of Buddhism in the 8th century, such as Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal, Vimalamitra, Vairotsana, Buddhaguhya and Shantaraksita.
The Nyingma tradition is also seen having been founded at Samyé, the first monastery in Tibet.
Nyingma teachings are also known for having been passed down through networks of lay practitioners or ngagpas .
While the Nyingma contains most of the major elements of Tibetan Buddhism as do the other Tibetan schools, they also have some unique features and teachings.
Nyingma teachings include a distinctive classification of Buddhist vehicles to liberation, called the nine vehicles.
This schema places the Nyingma teachings of the "Great Perfection" (Dzogchen) as the highest of all Buddhist teachings.
As such, the Nyingmas consider the Dzogchen teachings to be the most direct, profound and subtle path to Buddhahood.
The main Dzogchen sources (like the Seventeen tantras) are seen as communicating a path that goes beyond the methods of Highest Yoga Tantra (which are seen as supreme in other schools of Tibetan Buddhism).
The most influential Nyingma scholar yogi of the Great Perfection is Longchenpa (1308–1364), and his voluminous works mark a turning point in the scholastic systematization and refinement of the Nyingma Dzogchen system.
The Nyingma school also has an important tradition of discovering and revealing "hidden treasure texts" called Termas, which allows the treasure discoverers or tertöns to reveal new timely scriptures.Many Nyingma lineages are based on particular termas.
The followers of the sect are spread across Tibet, Bhutan, Ladakh, Sikkim and other Himalayan Buddhist pockets.

The Howling, Dog Soldiers, Wolfen, Wolf, Teen Wolf, and An American Werewolf in London (review)
Thu Oct 31 2002, 08:33pm | comments off
When the moon hitsa you eye like a big pizza pie, that's bad. It means the whole fangs-and-fur thing is coming.
It's not too suspicious, is it, that the every-28-days, beware-the-moon rhythm to werewolf tales is so similar to the female menstrual cycle? Are lycanthropes a mythic way for men to appropriate some female sexuality, so legendarily mysterious and arcane to the male gender? Werewolves are almost exclusively male, after all, and lycanthropy is almost exclusively tied to a ramping up of male libido. (Insert your own "Oh, you're such an animal…" joke here.) And it seems like the last 30 years — and in particular the 1980s — were rife with werewolf movies, in a period when women were becoming more sexually independent than they'd ever been before.
In 1981, for instance, in The Howling, Dee Wallace (E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial) got threatened with rape by a werewolf in, of all places, a peep show video booth, wherein she was terrorized by said creature of hell while being forced to watch a rape on the screen in front of her. That's not too telling, huh? She doesn't know he's a werewolf before she agrees to meet him in the booth — she's hotshot TV reporter Karen White, from Channel 6 Update News!!, which has its own groovy wack-a-chicka theme music, and she's hot on the tail of Eddie the Mangler, aka Star Trek's Robert Picardo, who looks so much like Mr. Show's David Cross (when he doesn't look like a werewolf) that it's eerie and disconcerting that it makes the film even funnier than it's intended to be. Eddie's been terrorizing Los Angeles with a string of bizarre murders — which turn out not to be so bizarre when you factor in his status as a werewolf — and he likes Karen a lot, and you can figure out the rest.
The rape thing could be seen as a form of punishment for Karen, whose unwomanly career has forced her husband, Bill (Christopher Stone), into her shadow, which is no place for a proper man to be. He gets her back later, though, by having naughty, illicit sex with a freaky chick by a bonfire in the woods while (were)wolves howl — very elemental and earthy, to be sure, and it's supposed to be erotic, I think, but it's kinda silly. By this time, Karen and Bill have gone up to "The Colony," run by celebrity shrink Patrick Macnee (The Avengers), to help Karen get over her amnesia about her terrifying first meeting with Eddie in the porn booth. If only she could remember that Eddie was a werewolf… So then she would've just run like hell when that howling in the woods scared her. Instead, it's "La la la, let me walk in the woods and find out what that dreadful noise is."
From the twisted minds of director Joe Dante (Small Soldiers) and screenwriter John Sayles (who cowrote with someone else who hasn't had the luck to have since become as famous as Sayles), The Howling is kinda like a teens- having- sex- and- getting- killed- in- return horror movie, except everyone is grown-up and should either know better or should be allowed to have sex with whomever they want. And the big bad wolf is simply hilarious.
(Fun cameos for The Howling: Roger Corman is the guy waiting outside the phone booth; John Sayles is the coroner.)
This year's British flick Dog Soldiers is more gloriously goofy (and gory) midnight movie stuff, sans any of the psychosexual nonsense: it's straight-up horror, guys gettin' picked off one by one in the most gruesome ways imaginable, and sometimes surviving in the most gruesome ways imaginable. It played on the Sci-Fi Channel in the States earlier this year (and also at this year's Dark Wave festival, sponsored by the San Francisco Film Society), but surely its impact was diminished by the editing to which it must have been subjected to make it suitable for commercial cable. Because part of what makes Neil Marshall's stylish and naturalistic movie so entertaining is the highly inventive vulgarity of his cast of characters, a squad of British soldiers on a training exercise in the Scottish Highlands. Much of it is along the shite and bollocks line, and hence likely incomprehensible to the majority of an American audience, but there's a constant stream of fouks and foukers and foukin's that eventually even the dimmest Yank will catch on… but the rudeness is part of the film's impudent charm, and what a shame to have it gone.
So anyways, there's a werewolf, obviously, loose in the Highlands, which is a damned creepy place under the best of circumstances, and this small band of brothers, led by Sean Pertwee (Love, Honour, and Obey), has been dropped in the middle of it with nothing but blanks in their guns, since the aim is not to actually kill the Special Forces guys playing the enemy. But when the monster attacks, things go very bad very fast, and we're treated to truly sick and truly funny spectacles, like a soldier crazy-gluing his own guts back into his body. When the guys finally retreat to a remote farmhouse for safety, and the film becomes yet another Aliens/The Thing thing, humans getting picked off till there's just a couple left (at which point someone is invariably secretly one of the monsters) it's this kind of matter-of-fact black humor that keeps it so much damned fun — you will never, ever look at sausages the same way again. Plus, Marshall's script is full of genre references, including one throwaway allusion to Star Trek that only the truly geeky will get, and delight in.
The sarge alerts his guys early on in the exercise, before events turn supernatural, that "I expect nothing less than gratuitous violence from the lot a ya." Expect nothing less than that from Dog Soldiers.
If Dog Soldiers is a product of today's geeky Gen-X mindset — and it is — then Wolfen springs from the environmental awareness of the 1970s (and it was still the 70s in 1981, when the film was released). Again, no psychosexual stuff, unless you count the whole "rape of the earth" approach, which we probably should, especially since it's such a nice parallel with The Howling, from the same year.
Somebody VanderSomething, a rich developer and the Donald Trump of his day, is brutally killed in Lower Manhattan. Homeless bums are brutally killed just a few miles, and an entire world, away in the war zone of the devastated South Bronx. Connection? Albert Finney thinks so. The authorities think it was eco-terrorists who killed VanderWhatsit, as revenge for his ravaging of the environment all over the planet, but not Finney's (Erin Brockovich) Dewey Wilson, rogue crazy loner of a cop that he is. There's Indians involved, he thinks, wanting their land back (VanderSnoot's family were among the first colonists– er, rapists of the New World). Or maybe wolves — coroner Gregory Hines keeps find canine hairs on the victims — or maybe shapeshifting Indians who turn into wolves. Like Edward James Olmos' (The Road to El Dorado) Eddie Holt, who, setting the tone for many a werewolf flick to come, gets naked and howls, au naturel, to the full moon, connecting with nature or something.
Terrorism, or lycanthropy? The title of the film gives you a hint in which direction the mystery will unravel.
Full of the kind of mystical-gaian stuff you'd expect from a werewolf story with a social conscience from the same guy — novelist Whitley Streiber — who later wrote a supposedly nonfiction book about his own alien abduction, Wolfen is half silly and half profound, with much likening of the genocide of the Native Americans to the trashing of the natural world, and much harping on how white people aren't so nice — though, it must be said, most of this harping is done by white people themselves. The silly part involves hilarious showers of blood and body parts flying majestically through the air, as well as a fair amount of ominous dum-DUM music; the profound part lends a genuinely spiritual air to New York City that I can't remember ever seeing on screen before — from the Battery to the Bronx and the top of the Brooklyn Bridge looking down, you feel the ghosts inhabiting this ancient land. Though that's probably down to director Michael Wadleigh, and not to Strieber at all.
Thirteen years later, wolves were back in NYC courtesy of Jack Nicholson and Mike Nichols. Though whereas in the 70s everything was politicized, in the 90s everything was about feelings, so now lycanthropy is a metaphor for the male midlife crisis instead of a commercial for Earth Day. Wolf, from 1994, actually works really well along those lines for far longer than it deserves to, thanks to the always wolfish Nicholson (The Pledge) giving, ironically, one of his more subtle performances.
Nicholson's elegant book editor, Will Randall, is accused of being "the last civilized man," of having "taste and individuality [that] are something of a handicap." A series of unexpected betrayals — both professional and personal — come at precisely the moment when his culture and sophisticated enlightenment threaten to be washed away. Will was bitten by a wolf during a road trip to Vermont, and now he's starting to feel funky: he no longer needs his reading glasses, for instance, he feels "20 years younger," women suddenly find him irresistible, calling him — yes — an animal.
For a good hour and 20 minutes, Wolf is a refreshing new twist on an old tale. It's not scary — it is, actually, the first werewolf drama, an astute exploration of a civilized man horrified and yet also exhilarated by his suddenly animalistic behavior. He does nothing wrong, nothing bad — he just becomes more alive, more in charge of his own life, more fully human for reconnecting to his own carnality. Nicholson has rarely been better than here, walking the line between the refinement of society and the pleasures of things more elemental.
Alas, no one knew where to go from there, because in the last act, the delicious metaphor is lost in favor of far more traditional — and unnecessary — horror action. Wolf could have been a great film. Instead, it defeats itself with its shaggy-dogginess.
(Fun cameos for Wolf: Alison Janney is the sycophant at the cocktail party; David Schwimmer is the cop in the zoo.)
At the other end of the spectrum of male sexuality is, of course, the nightmare of adolescence, which 1985's Teen Wolf covers very well. Perhaps the nicest werewolf movie ever made — and how could it not be, when it stars sweetie pie Michael J. Fox? — this is an unexpectedly charming little movie about accepting oneself and developing confidence and learning how to get through high school with your self-esteem intact, which is a lot harder than it should be.
Fox's (Stuart Little 2) Scott Howard is, you know, going through changes, he says, his voice cracking. Hair is growing in places it wasn't before, and wow, girls are awfully pretty, aren't they? Scott especially likes that one popular girl, even though she's a real bitch and holds him in nothing but disdain. Scott is considered something of a dork, you see, mostly because of his presence on the school's losing basketball team.
Yes, Michael J. Fox as a basketball player. That's the kind of movie this is.
When his dad (James Hampton: Sling Blade) reveals that the men of the Howard family tend to get a lot more hair growing in a lot more places than other men, Scott is devastated… and then elated, when his new feralness makes him the star b-ball player and the hit of the school, even though he looks more like a monkey than a wolf. Scott gets a "he's a hero now" montage, but can it last? Of course not. With a trail of alienated true friends in his wake and a slew of new pals who like him only for his popularity, Scott gets some somber lessons in What's Important.
Sure, Teen Wolf is simple, and silly in places — in a lot of places — but it makes some cogent points without succumbing to overearnestness.
Earnestness was not John Landis's primary concern with his black comedy An American Werewolf in London, also from that wolfy year of 1981. Instead, he wanted to send up the classic horror flicks of yesteryear while simultaneously updating them for modern audiences, and he succeeded splendidly.
American hitchhikers David Kessler (David Naughton) and Jack Goodman (Griffin Dunne: 40 Days and 40 Nights) are making their way across dark and creepy rural northern England, where folk actually warn strangers to stay off the moors and the ooky locals in the pub are like something out of the Addams family. Spooked by the unfriendly reception, the guys head out… across the moors… under the full moon… to the eerie baying of wolves. Not good.
Weeks later, David wakes up in a hospital in London. Jack is dead, mauled by the werewolf that attacked them, but he still visits regularly, scaring the crap out of David not only by his undead presence but by the plea he has for David, who holds the only key to releasing Jack and other victims of the werewolf from their ghoulish misery.
Snide and sharp, Landis explores the psychology of descending into lycanthropy with a straightforward realism while also acknowledging that no one could go through such an experience in the late 20th century without being thoroughly steeped in werewolf lore, and without being thoroughly skeptical of that same lore. The intellectual divide between accepting the oddness of physical metamorphosis and denying the reality of it manifests itself in what must be one of the most gruesome and graphic transformation scenes ever — the horridness of it makes the audience, as well as David, want to reject such a spectacle, and yet the authenticity of it dares us to do so.
Before things go too far south, there's some randy sex for David — who made friends with a pretty nurse (Jenny Agutter) during his recuperation — and the traditional running-naked-through-the-streets-and-woods bits. But like Wolf, American Werewolf connects lycanthropy to something deeper than sheer physicality, as David finds that love may be the key to breaking the evil spell that bewitches him.
Spare and clean, with an uncluttered look rare for a horror film, American Werewolf doesn't fool around: It gets in, makes its point, and gets out, and nobody gets hurt. Well, not actually, of course — many people get hurt — but this is what I'm saying: when it gets to the end of its simple story and has nothing more to say, it stops.

We're still waiting for "Trump Lies About Pandemic" headlines
Just tell the truth
Trump's lying about the global pandemic continues nonstop. At each White House daily briefing, he unfurls a multitude of falsehoods about the virus, the government's response, and his own previous comments on the crisis. We've never seen anything like this before from an American president during a time of national peril.
In recent days Trump has lied to an anxious nation about:
- Having disbanded the White House's pandemic team.
- The availability of a coronavirus vaccine.
- Americans being able to get tested.
- All Americans returning from overseas are being tested.
- U.S. infections would go down.
- Invoking the Defense Production Act.
- The virus being contained.
- Google creating a website to help people evaluate their virus symptoms.
- FDA approving chloroquine for use in coronavirus.
Yet where are the "Trump Lies About Pandemic" headlines, which would be completely accurate statements for news outlets to make without apology? Why don't we see them and hear them?
Some observers have suggested this is shocking behavior, even for Trump, considering the stakes are so high for the nation in terms of a sweeping national health crisis. And why on earth would Trump lie about that event? But pathological liars like Trump lie about everything. It's like breathing. And that's why D.C. press' refusal for years to label Trump a liar has not only been morally indefensible, but dangerous for the country.
Wasting nearly all of Trump's first term hiding behind claims that he was merely spreading "inaccuracies" or he was "misinformed," the press has allowed Trump pathology to become normalized.
Look at how the New York Times covered the story of Trump's transparent Google lie. According to the newspaper's weirdly creative language, Trump "oversold" the idea of the Google contribution, and "inflated the concept far beyond reality." Note that for anyone using normal, everyday descriptions for current events, that meant Trump just flat-out lied during a national briefing about a monumental health crisis in this country. And he lied about something that would be easily, and almost instantly, found to be false when reporters checked in with Google for confirmation. Trump did that because he makes no calculation about which lies to tell, whether he can get away with them, and if there are any occasions where he should refrain from lying. He just lies about everything, all the time.
And the press won't call him a liar.
Days later, the Times published a front-page piece that documented how his sudden claim that he had always assumed coronavirus would morph into a pandemic was almost comically false. But at the Times, Trump was not lying, he was merely trying to "rewrite his history."
In none of the recent White House press briefings on the pandemic has a single person asked Trump, "Why did you lie about Google having 1,700 engineers working on a coronavirus project for the government?" "Why did you lie when you said whoever wanted to get tested, could get tested?" "Why did you lie when you said the virus had been contained?" "Why did you lie about invoking the Defense Production Act?"
We've seen this pattern for years regarding Trump and the press — he's constantly untruthful, there's an occasional effort to fact check the torrent of falsehoods, and that's it. There's never any long-term follow-up or implications for Trump. He lies with impunity because the press doesn't hold him accountable by showering the news media landscape with "Trump Lies About Pandemic" headlines and reports.
Instead, Trump spouts falsehoods, reporters express befuddlement, and then Trump starts telling new lies. Wash, rinse, repeat. And yes, it's inconceivable that a Democratic president would be treated this way.
Here's a specific example of the press purposefully refusing to hold Trump accountable. On Wednesday, CNN reported that Secretary of Defense Mark Esper confirmed that "two Navy hospital ships being deployed to help respond to the coronavirus outbreak will not treat patients suffering from the virus and will take weeks to deploy." Yet nowhere in the article did CNN mention that at Wednesday's briefing, Trump announced the ships would be ready to come to the aid in one week. Meaning, the entire news here was that Trump once again misled the nation about the government's pandemic response, and CNN did not even acknowledge it. That's how you normalize him.
"Trump Lies About Pandemic," is what honest and accurate news organizations would be reporting right now.
We're all trying to cope these days and to find moments to relax and unplug. With TV, I'm currently doing it by watching "McMillions," an HBO documentary series that looks at the widespread corruption that enveloped McDonald's Monopoly give-away games for years. (Hint: The mob got involved.) And for reading, I'm inching towards the end of the Theodore Dreiser's 1925 classic, An American Tragedy, the tale of class, love, and murder.
At Rolling Stone, the always excellent Alan Sepinwall, offers up his TV and streaming picks for the weeks ahead with his "Quarantine Binge Guide."
The Waifs, "Gillian"
Sometimes stumbling upon a great song is like finding $10 in a your jeans pocket — life's simple pleasure. But unlike the $10, a great song you can carry around for years, cashing in with every listen.
To this day, I know very little about the Waifs, an Australian folks rock trio. But this 2011 living recording has been in steady rotation for me since I 'discovered' it three years ago. It's about Gillian, an indomitable force of nature. The song not only has one of the odder twist endings that I can recall, but the live recording itself is so warm and fantastic, you can almost hear the dedicated fans, gathered around the band, hanging on every note. It's a blissful love fest, complete with a giddy sing-along.
Oh Gillian, you're up with the sun
You've done a hundred things before half past nine
By the time most folk are up and gone
You'll be starting on one hundred and one

Is it time for 'naming and shaming'? Identifying specific reporters' inane or enabling questions? If not now when? The concern that I see, other than the obvious journalistic malpractice, is that Trump's ignorance and compulsive lies allow his supporters to continue to drift in their red bubble, without changes to their lifestyles...thus endangering us all. Barring a treatment(s) that would be available (at the earliest) 4-6 months from now, we have an unstoppable adversary. The learned behavior of ignoring inconvenient facts and living in an alternative universe now has repercussions impacting life itself for the country. If the media refuse to save lives by reporting hard truths then they should be singled out for ridicule. Likewise, those reporters who have consistently and bravely spoken up (Heidi Przybyla, for one) should be named and lauded.
Years ago CBS went from challenging the powerful to kowtowing to Republicans. When Dan Rather did that largely accurate report on Bush's National Guard service - or lack of service - he was fired. When Lara Logan based an entire Benghazi report on the claims of a con artist she was only suspended. But by that time the head of CBS News was David Rhodes, a man who had learned his job at the feet of Roger Ailes (he rose to VP of News at Fox) before moving into mainstream media.
Just before reading this article I read this at the NY TImes. It describes Rupert Murdoch as being concerned that his son Lachlan is blowing it at Fox News because he is politically naive. It makes Murdoch sound like bears no responsibility for the fact that Fox is a dishonest right wing propaganda machine - and has been from the start. Are we supposed to believe that Murdoch had no idea who Roger Ailes was when he hired him? That would have been truly politically naive. Why people still trust the Times is beyond me.

Not everyone wants to get tan skin the old-fashioned way. In fact, lying out in the sun for hours on end is the fastest way to permanently damage the skin. MineTan allows you beauties to safely and easily get a healthy glow without spending too much time outdoors under that harsh sun. Anyone can use MineTan, whether you're no stranger to the faux glow, or even a first-timer! Here's a tip for first time MineTanners: follow these handy points to help ensure that you get the exact results you want.
Faux tans can take a full day to develop fully, so it is important to schedule your appointment or apply your product a few days before any major events or trips. When in doubt, opt for the lightest application possible. The next day, you can determine whether or not you would like to amplify your color even more. Since it can take first-time tanners a few applications to reach their desired level of colour, we recommend giving yourself three or four applications to build up to your final tan. Try this with our MineTan 1 Hour Express Tans, and check the side instructions before applying.
Tanning solutions have a knack for drawing attention to rough, dry or uneven patches of skin. Guarantee the most even tan possible by exfoliating in the shower before using MineTan. Our MineTan Exfoliating Mitt will do just the trick!
Immediately following your use of MineTan products, make sure to wear clothing that fits loosely and will not permanently stain. Until the product fully has time to set into the skin, there is a risk of colour transfer. Wearing loose clothing prevents large amounts of colour from rubbing off from the skin.
Before you start the faux tanning process, make sure your skin is scrubbed completely clean. Do not use any moisturising washes or lotions, as they will create a barrier between the tanning solution and your skin, preventing the product from absorbing properly.
It will be tempting to shower immediately after applying MineTan. Tanners can be tempted want to wash off the excess product to see what their tans really look like! However, it's crucial to wait at least eight hours before bathing. Otherwise, all of the tanning agents will be washed away before they are able to work. Check the instructions for your tanning solution to know the exact time period you can allow!
After the MineTan application process is complete, you should moisturise as thoroughly and as often as possible. This will keep the skin supple and maximize the new healthy glow. It also helps the tan fade at a more even rate, making it easier to reapply MineTan later to maintain your colour.
Follow these tips whether you are coming in for a professional application or are using MineTan at home. Proper use is essential to getting optimal results from MineTan, and your tan will not look natural if you attempt to rush through the procedure.

I am sad that Borders is closing. My parents invited me on an impromptu shopping trip last night at 7 to go shopping at a larger shopping area. First stop was Borders. Everything was 30-50% off but they were changing the signs to 40-60% for today. Lots of stuff was gone already but I headed upstairs where education and kids books are.
I had to really control myself lol. See, as I said before I love shopping. But there are some stores that I am just in heaven in. Like Borders, Target, Whole Foods (I went there too!), Grocery Outlet (mine left :( ), and a few others. I'm a dork, I know lol.
I kept telling myself that I could only pick a few books out as I don't have a classroom. I was very good and only got two books. One was a book I know I'll be using as a filler for subbing. It has questions, riddles, and stumpers. Perfect! And then I saw it...and I had to restrain myself from rushing and knocking a little kid over. One of the books I'd seen on blog land.
And so I bought The Little Red Pen and I am so happy I got it!
Then I got to go Yogurtland and treated myself to a little bit of cheescake frozen yogurt. Oh, don't think I've mentioned that last week I started Weight Watchers. Tuesday marked the end of week 1 and I lost 2.8 pounds! I didn't get as much as fro yo as I usually would but I was pleased with myself as I had points left after that if I wanted to eat something. It helps that some of my friends started with me too so I have a support system.
But back to yesterday lol. I went to Whole Foods and got some goat milk soap that smelled so good. And then went to Fred Meyer's and I found the flat bread I had been searching for! It's called Flat Out. And the one I got is Italian Herb and I love it! I also bought marshmallow fluff which I plan on using like a frosting to drizzle over this brownie mix I got. The brownie mix can be used to make individual servings. 2 TBS of the browine mix and 1 TBS of low fat vanilla yogurt. Ahhh bliss!
And tonight is the community BBQ and I get to watch police officers and firefighters play softball against each other. Should be epic!

I know 'horny goat weed' is an herb that can cause women to be horny but is there anything out there to give a male?
But about 1/4th of it leaked into the box just glad it didn't get on my book that was in there with it.
I usually use Aubrey Organics but found this product at my local Discount Groceries. For one, the lotion stings my face when applied, then smells horrible, like animal products. It is also watery. I'm sorry I bought it, really.
