I wear Harmony a lot when I’m in a hurry.On my NC42 skin, I usually wear 2-3 layers to reach a level of color I like.I wear it when I want a natural-looking cheek color with a little warmth that won’t interfere with the rest of my makeup, like when I wear a strong eye and lip combo.Fantastic for skin tones from pale to medium! It adds warmth without the orange undertones. If you’ve ever had trouble with bronzers having orange undertones before, take a look at Harmony.You can use it as a contouring face bronzer, a warming blush or an eye crease color to give depth to different looks. Considering its versatility, $20 is a bargain for this blush. ![]() This muted rosy beige could almost pass for a brown.Which reminds me about a blush… □ How do I love thee, MAC Harmony Blush? Let me count the ways… It was my reset button, turning me away from my crazy place and bringing me back to inner peace and harmony. Instead of screaming or bursting into tears (something I might have done had it happened to me at that moment), the girl chased after the balloon, laughing and jumping as she watched it float higher and higher into the sky.Īs I watched the girl, who never stopped smiling, I felt something inside of me click. The girl was smiling and holding a green balloon. I came upon a woman with her little girl, who looked to be about three years old, playing in the middle of the mall’s courtyard. I went back to walking around the mall and tried to ignore my rumbling tummy. Mom always says not to sweat the small stuff, but when I’m cranky and craving sweets, that’s easier said than done… ![]() Then, wouldn’t you know it, as I left the restaurant empty handed and rounded the corner outside, I saw a soda machine in front of me with what? - lemonade! And me without a cookie. Me: (My left eyelid started twitching) Hmm… On second thought, ya know, I think I’m gonna pass. You can squeeze the lemons into your water and make your own lemonade. Gal at the register: We have water and sliced lemons. Me: Uh-huh… The thing is, I don’t really like cookies that are too crunchy, sooo I only want to buy one if it’s more chewy than crunchy. Gal at the register: They’re chewy and crunchy. Okay, I think I’d like a chocolate chip cookie…but can you tell me first if they’re chewy or crunchy? Me: Hi! Everything always smells so good in here it’s hard to decide. ![]() Gal at the register (who was clearly not having her best customer service day): Hi. As usual, of course, the universe had other plans… Out of nowhere, I got a weird craving for a chocolate chip cookie and a glass of lemonade, so I walked over to this place called Boudin’s, a café/bakery chain here in the Bay Area (they make a mean loaf of sourdough). I drove down to The Village at Corte Madera, which is about 20 minutes away, because they have a Nordstrom there with a great MAC counter, an Anthropologie store, Apple store, Bare Escentuals, Blue Mercury, Kate Spade and some other good stuff. ![]() I threw on some clothes and minimal makeup and decided to hit the mall.

Muscle and fitness hero workout12/31/2023 ![]() You’ll have to take on a warrior mindset, since consistency is the cornerstone of your success. You will adopt a basic structure and work like hell, week in and week out. It’s a plan based on necessity, versus what feels good. No cute little magazine cover exercises that look good in the mirror or on your Instagram account just good ole-fashioned big lifts that have been proven over the last century or so.ĭon’t let the simplicity of this program fool you. It emphasizes mainly multi-joint, compound movements that will optimally pack on muscle and increase strength. ![]() Think less Captain America, and more like Bane. You just need to approach things a little differently. You can hammer in more muscle while creating a thicker, stronger body. ![]() Nowhere does it say that the two are exclusive. While you’re at it, let’s build some big, strong, brutal muscle to go along with it. Since you don’t have that option, it’s time to put down the cable concentration curls and pick up some heavy stuff- really heavy stuff. The movies use CGI and other tricks to make it appear that the actor has superhuman strength to lift cars and land from three stories up. Who Wants a Cape, Anyway?īut what about those of us who have toiled away at hypertrophy training for a significant number of years, and are in need of something to shake up our programming? What about adding some real, brutal strength to workouts, in order to look and be strong at the same time? There’s nothing wrong with looking the part, but don’t you want to actually be grittier, stronger, and more resilient too? Of course, this can still include heavy lifting, but you’ll inevitably have to dip your toe into the bodybuilding world in order to optimally reshape your body. That takes specific, hypertrophy-style training. Lifting like a powerlifter won’t get you the body of Captain America. So I reminded him that his actions need to match his goals. But here’s the catch: he always wanted to build a V-taper, get leaner, and finally get those washboard abs, like those actors who build superhero muscle. They lifted big weight, rested a long time between sets, and it seemed every attempt was a max effort. One of my gym buddies was training with a powerlifter. There’s a question I sometimes ask those who come to me for advice on their workout programs: Do you want to be big, ugly, and strong, or lean and pretty?

Half note studio bellevue wa12/31/2023 ![]() federal government purchased 90 acres (360,000 m 2) of Bellevue (consisting of the western half of the old Berry tract) and added this land to the adjacent Naval Gun Factory. Berry.) In the 1870s, the owners of Belleveue sold off various lots to members of the public. The Blue Plains estate and the far southern part of Bellevue were surveyed and subdivided in 1868. The land was resurveyed in 1867, and subdivided further. All but the far southern part of Belleveue and all of Berry were surveyed and subdivided in 1863 by the government, and five of the seven lots (consisting of Bellevue) purchased by John Alexander Middleton and members of the Berry family. federal government seized the property, demolished Bellevue mansion, and built Fort Greble (located west of the intersection of Martin Luther King, Jr. Because Bellevue occupied high ground suitable for artillery, the U.S. The court action was successful, but the American Civil War broke out before the court order could be enforced. ![]() In 1860, members of the Berry family sued to have Washington Berry, Sr.'s will overturned and Bellevue subdivided into numerous small lots and sold off. When Washington Berry, Sr., died in 1856, he will several plantations to his two sons provided they divested themselves of Bellevue to their five sisters. ![]() Their father (and Zacariah Sr.'s son), Washington Berry, Sr., managed Bellevue as a farm and operated a fisher from the site. Zacariah died in 1845, and deeded Bellevue to his grandsons, Washington Berry Jr. Thomas Grafton Addison sold about half of Bellevue by 1826, and at his death the remainder was transferred to local planter Zacariah Berry, Sr. He built a large home on a high point on the land, and named the mansion "Bellevue". In 1795, Walter Dulany Addison (who owned Oxon Hill) and John Addison (who owned Gisbrough) deeded 1,200 acres (4,900,000 m 2) of their land to their brother, Thomas Grafton Addison. The Addison lands, including Gisbrough (later spelled "Gisborough" and "Giesborough"), stayed in the Addison family for the next century. Hanson's descendant, Thomas Hawkins Hanson, married Thomas Addison's widow, taking possession of Berry as well as other property. William Middleton left "Berry" to his nephew, Richard Hanson. "Berry", too, became part of the Addison family's holdings. Addison then purchased an extensive new estate, Oxon Hill, in 1695. The stream Oxon Run and its banks were patented to Addison in 1687, and named "Glennings". Addison enlarged his estate by purchasing two adjacent tracts, "The Pasture" and "Pencott's Invention", from step-son Peter Dent in December 1686. Although Rebecca Dent-Addison had children by her first husband, her remarriage appears to have caused a family rift and she deeded Gisbrough to Thomas alone. Īfter Thomas Dent died in 1676, his widow married Colonel John Addison and had a son, Thomas, by him. This smaller tract covered what is now the southern end of Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and the southern part of Bellevue. On September 7, a land patent was issued to William Middleton for a tract known as "Berry". This tract was roughly in the area that is now Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling between Malcolm X Avenue SE/MacDill Boulevard SE and Giavannoli Street SW, the northern end of Bellevue, and the southern end of Congress Heights. On September 4, 1663, a land patent was issued to Thomas Dent, Sr. The charter had originally been granted to Calvert's father, George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore, but the 1st Baron Baltimore died before it could be executed, so it was granted to his son instead. state of Maryland to Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore as a proprietary colony.

Deskconnect discontinued12/31/2023 ![]() There was a time when typing was done by trained typists, when data analysis was conducted by data analysts and mapping was done by cartographers. ![]() But, the emergence of Access follows a trend that emerged in the '90's that placed the then amazing power of desktop solutions in the hands of the untrained. So why do they think this?Īccess is great for rapid app development, it's robust in the hands of experience programmers (and knowledgeable users), is easily accessible via ODBC/OLEDB, has massive community support and above all else, solves business problems. In my 30+ years of using Access (as both a tertiary trained scientist and tertiary trained programmer), I find that much of the criticism and disparaging commentary about Access comes from IT staff who say it's not a 'proper' application. The Access user base is far too well established, and organizations too deeply rusted on to Access/Office, to ever see it discontinued. In between are varying levels of complexity and sophistication that probably would astound the naïve observer who doesn't know that much about the power of Access and VBA. However, competent Access developers have been creating enterprise level applications with Access interfaces to SQL Server, Oracle, MySQl, etc. True, you can build simplistic applications with a single table, one or two forms and reports and macros. My point is that Dataverse doesn't necessarily open that up, so much as it strengthens the partnership which has already been there for a while.Īnd finally, I am leery of the "low code/no code" tag being attached to Access in this context. One of them I use every day, others are for POC types of applications and a YouTube series I'm working on. ![]() My only reservation is that I've been creating hybrid Access/PowerApps applications with SharePoint and SQL Azure back ends for a while now. towards the Power Platform environment, suggests a recognition that this is one area in which Access can be substantially improved. ![]() The fact that it is in a new direction, i.e. The commitment to Access is obvious and substantial. I agree with that almost 100%, with one small reservation. I have been describing this for years as "Access for the Web" since it seems clear to be the future platform for MS in terms of 'citizen developers' but I think the recent integration of Access into this platform is recognizing there is a huge install base of Access and large commitment from companies that have found it fits a great niche for small to mid sided Rohde Now, if I were to make a recommendation for new development for a team I would probably look at Power Apps rather than Access. It is objectively easier to learn Access and VBA than it is to learn C# for 'non-programmers' and that make the tool easier to build applications for smaller teams.īy integrating with the Dataverse as a back-end database you can continue to use Access as a front end for desktop forms entry but also give a transition plan for migration to Power Platform if you need mobile capabilities or interaction with other applications via Power Automate and Power Apps. The way I view Access and it appears that MS does as well, is that it remains a solid tool for community developers to build desktop data-centered applications. The biggest enhancement of a Dataverse connector shows a place for access among the Power Platform suite. LINE and Telegram are bad but WhatsApp and WeChat are okay? Uber does deserve to disappear off the face of the planet though, so good call there.Think the recent announcements at Ignite show an on-going commitment to Access. I can see why they'd want to cut off read-it-later services and have users employ the Safari Reading List (even if it's inferior), but why only drop Pocket and not Instapaper? Same for iMessage competitors. Get Street View Image, Google Chrome, Pocket, LINE, Telegram, Uber, and Workflow Gallery submissions are no longer supported. Credit where it's due though MS Translate has gotten pretty good over the years. Yeah, I know Apple hates Google, but personally never understood why they suddenly got so chummy with Micro$oft. Translate Text is now powered by Microsoft Translate Google are competitors and Apple wants to lock users down to their own (inferior) mapping solution. Maps actions are now powered by Apple Maps Based on the release notes for the latest update Seems like Apple are going to lock it down and make it as uptight as a Republican at a rave.

![]() Tanks and trucks travel at the same speed as helicopters and artillery guns. The speed of the units relative to each other is also wrong. Units fly across the screen to such an extent that you actually have to lead your target and wait for it to pass under the cursor. What compounds this problem is the fact that the units move so damn fast, it's almost impossible to click on the blasted things. You see the difference there? Well you won't in the game because if you don't make sure every single one of your units is in an easily selectable group you'll be struggling to pick out your guys from the bad guys. American units are painted a bright and colourful grey/green, whereas ILA units are a green/grey. The buildings not only look dull but it's also hard to differentiate between some of them, which can make selection a little annoying as you randomly flick between them trying to get hold of the right one. Your infantry units look like tiny little stick men that are almost impossible to make out even if you zoom right in it's possible that their dot on the mini-map is bigger than they are, because it's certainly more distinctive.
