Touhou Genso Rondo Announced for European PS4 Release
27/02/2016 2 Comments
Publisher NIS America have announced they will be releasing the bullet-shooter styled game Touhou Genso Rondo (working title) onto the PS4 as a digital download within Europe and America later this year.
Developed by CUBETYPE Touhou Genso Rondo is a shooter, similar to the likes of Deathsmiles and Ikuraga, thats set within the Touhou universe and it’s a game that will feature both an engaging story mode as well as fast-paced bullet dodging arcade fun. This particular version of the game will be a full High Definition remaster of the Japanese-exclusive PC game with newer HD visuals, a complete UI overall, rebalanced gameplay mechanics and an updated single-player experience such as an all-new boss battle rush mode and extended scenarios.
The news comes from their Press Event earlier in the week which saw the publisher also announcing the western release of Psycho Pass: Mandatory Happiness, which we posted here, onto the PS4 and PS Vita.
Touhou Genso Rondo, which is its current ‘working title’, will be released as a digital download onto the PS4 in the near future; with more details expected to be revealed in the coming months.


Testimonials from GunExams Customers
|Just a quick word. I wrote 98% on written and achieved 98% on the practical for non-restricted. I had never touched a firearm before this course began. Gunexams was invaluable to me. Many thanks.|
Successfully challenged the PAL exam scoring 98% (made one mistake due to misreading one question.) Thanks to GunExams.com I felt very prepared. I also very much appreciated the timely responses to the variety of questions I asked, I never waited more than a couple of hours for a response - great customer support. I learned plenty, thanks.
Excellent study aid for both the non-restricted and restricted tests. I scored 98 and 100 on the non-restricted, and 100 and 100 on the restricted. Your practice exams were well worth the money. Thanks! Mike
Very impressed with the Course material. Passed the Non Restricted and Restricted exams with 98% and 96% respectively. Highly recommend your site! Don M Saskatoon
Hi Gun Exams , just wanted to say thank you. I challenged the CFSC/ CRFSC exams and passed both written and practical exams with 98%,96%,98%,98% . I studied 50% of the questions from Australia and took the exams when I visited Canada. I recommend Gun Exams 100% . I have been shooting for 30 years ,however learnt a lot about the important Gun management laws in Canada and a couple of new things about firearms and safety. Thank you. Patrick
Hi Gun Exams, Just wanted to thank you for the help, received 100%, 100%, 100%, 98% Cheers!
I just wanted to say how valuable I found your web site for the Restricted and non-restricted exams. I completed about 75% of the questions and wrote my non-restricted and achieved a 98% on the written and 98% on the practical tests. I wrote my restricted 2 days later and score 100% on written and 100% on the practical. This is an excellent web site and I would definitely recommend it to all. Just a note I have almost no gun experience. Thanks Again.
Just a quick addition to your testimonials, Although I have owned firearms for most of my life, I'm 62, I was nervous taking the "non restricted" tests - I have not owned or touched a rifle for 12 years. After taking 800 test questions over a week & watching the RCMP handling videos, I challenged the test - scoring 100% on the written & 88% on the handling portion. I would/will recommend your site to any one who asks. Thanks, the results may have been very different without you. Peter S
Just wanted to say thanks - I wrote the test and scored 100%/100% restricted and 100%/98% non-restricted, written/practical. I'm 41 now and have shot since age 12; I learned a few things and remembered other things I had forgotten. Your exams are worth every cent.
Thanks for making the exams easy. Tim S
Hi I am a Member here at Gunexams.com I challenged both the CFSC and CRFSC and CORE I got 94% Written and 98% Practical on the CFSC and 96% Written and 98% Practical for the CRFSC. I passed CORE as well. Well worth it. Thanks to Gunexams. Sincerely Richard A.
Just a note to thank-you guys for preparing me for both the CFSC & the CRFSC exams. The instructor later confided in me that I received a 92% grade on my CFSC theory exam. This exam was challenged! I wouldn't have been able to do this without your excellent site. Thanks again!! Montreal, Canada
I aced the exam thanks to your practice exams. Finished exam in ten minutes100% thanks again.
Thank you gun exams, I took my cfsc the other day and I got 100% thanks to your site. I t was definately worth the money and more. D. Powell
I just wanted to say that, although I have been using guns for 53 years, I found the tests to be really helpful in pointing out weak areas. I have now passed both the restricted and non-restricted exams successfully. I attribute this largely to the information I learned by using your practise tests. This was money well spent. Thank you. - MCD
I know I answered a lot of questions and tons of tests... but I passed 96% on the written and 92% on the practical... Thanks I'm done.. Couldn't have done it without you... I'll recommend your site wholeheartedly.
Just took my non-restricted and restricted exams, passed with flying colors, thanks to the practice exams. Your course was invaluable as far as the required knowledge to pass these exams. I would definately reccomend your service to anyone needing to acquire certification. Sincerely Larry S.
Thank you. This site is a great place to prepare for the CFSC exam, well done on the site. Craig
Thanks for your help and adding the 500 questions and the ability to custom tailor the restricted test like the non-restricted test. I told my son about your website and he also signed up for the bundle...we're taking our exams together. C. M.
I love your site...my learning retention with this type of review is so much quicker than by book alone!
Just took and passed the Firearms Safety test with flying colours ! Thank you GunExams, you made it a breeze. I will certainly recommend you. There was nothing on the test that wasn't covered by your practice questions, including the practical part of the exam. Thank you again. Cal M.
Thanks for all your help. I used your questions extensively to review and test myself on the CFSC curriculum. As I was challenging the exam the practice tests were very helpful. Thanks again. Don
I just wanted to thank you . It made the test an easy endeaver.well worth the cost.you cant help but ace the test.
Just wanted to send my thanks. I discovered your website on Tuesday and wrote the restricted test on Wednesday night. I can honestly say that your site helped me pass with an average test score of 94%. Thanks Vincent
I passed my written safety exam with a score of 100% due to about 10 training exams on your website. Thanks!! Frank
I Just challenged the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC). I got 100% CFSC and 96% on the Restricted also 96% on the Gun handling. This is after only 3 days of using your site. Thank you Very much. Great Site. Dan
I just passed my non-restricted test. 96% on the written, and 100% on the practical. Your practice exams were invaluable in achieving this. Now I am preparing for the restricted exam, and am sure your practice tests will help with that as well. I'll let you know how I do in a couple of weeks. Thanks again!! Bill C.
I've taken the written and practical exam on March 25,07. I challenged the exam. I am 100% confident that "gunexams.com" is responsible for my passing grade of 98% on the written portion. I would highly recommend anyone taking the PAL exam to use this site if you're comfortable with firearms or you've let your current PAL expire. Anyone else should take the course... the privileges of having a gun is huge responsibility and shouldn't taken lightly. Thank you, Gerry R
First of all, let me say how good I found your practice exams. There is lots of material that doesn't seem to be in the manuals. As I intend to challenge the exams, I don't think I would do to well without your product. I will let you know after I write how it went. Thanks again for a great product. Bob B
I only signed up for the non-restricted but after passing with flying colors thanks to the support your tests gave me, I have decided to take the restricted as well.
Just wanted to thank you for an awesome course. The questions not only helped with the written exams... but big time with the practical .I felt very comfortable handling a semi auto for the first time.Knowing the ACTS & PROVE helped me pass with flying colors. CFSC 98% written 100 % practical CRFSC 96% written 98% practical Best score out of 17 students. Thanks, Ian
I have enjoyed studying for the exam using you website. Thanks a lot.
I'm writing this note to tell you that your practice exams are a great help in preparing to write the firearms safety exam. After using your exams, I challenged the actual exam yesterday and passed with 100% correct. I think that I likely would have passed anyway but not with a 100% score. This is a great way to study. John W
Hello My name is Conrad and I just wrote my non-restricted firearm exam. I passed with 100% on the written and 98% on the pratical. I cannot say how much your program has help me not only gain knowledge but also confidence. Thanks and keep adding the questions to this puppy cause it is doing a great deal of good.
Just wanted to say thanks for the site - very, very useful. Just sat my restricted & unrestricted and got 98% in both (100% in practicals) - 1 Q wrong in each !!! Still planning on using the site just to keep in practice - I've got a fair amount of experience from the past, but there were things that were new to me. Best wishes and keep up the good work. Andrew R
Just wanted to let you know that I passed both exams with flying colours. I would have to say that your practice exams are definitely worth the cost. Thank you.
Thank you. You have an excellent site. The service is an ingenious idea! Congratulations. Thank you again for a well executed top notch idea. CD
Your site was a huge help. A wonderful study aid. I took the exam and passed with a score of 98% on the written and 100% on the practical. Thanks again. Chris
Thank You for your help. I have taken the actual test and passed with a 96% on my written and 96% on my practical. Ken
I just wanted to advise that I passed my FAC this weekend with a perfect score in both the written and practical.The assistance of your website was very helpful. Thank you. Terry H
I've completed my non-restricted test with a final mark of 96%. Thanks for the online data base. It helped alot. Brian
Thought I should tell you. I saw your site when I was looking for info on firearms licencing. I did a couple of your sample tests and thought I had it all under control, and booked my test. As the date got closer I figured I should do some studying and purchased your tests. Was I surprised, I didn't know near as much as I thought I did. But through the help of you tests, I had the confidence I needed. I passed both non-restricted, and restricted challenge tests with 90%, 92% written and 100% and 98% practical. The in-depth content and variety of questions was incredible. Probably the best money I've spent in a long time. Ian B
I just wanted to say thanks. I passed the CFSC and CRFSC with flying colors. GunExams.com was a huge asset. If I hear of anyone challenging the tests or taking the course, I will refer them to this site. Kelly W
Thank you very much for your very helpful site and training course. I was very successful today passing the exam on restricted and non-restricted firearms. Best regards, Michael Z
I achieved a 96% combined score thanks to your site. I am going to recommend it to everyone I know who is interested in their PAL. Thanks!
I want to thank you. I just did my exam and got 98% on the written and 96% on the practical. What a great and truly helpful website.
I just wanted to give you some feedback on this website. I found your practice exams were very useful in my preparation for the CFSC and CRFSC exams. I scored 98% written and 98% practical on the CSFC exam. On the CRFSC exam, I scored 100% written and 98% practical. Thanks for your help, Matt. P.
Using the practice tests from your website, as well as studying the course manual, i received 100% on my written exam, and 100% on my practical exam for the CFSC for non-restricted firearms. Thanks!!!
I just wrote the exam for non restricted and I got 100% on the exam and 100% on the practical. Thank you gun exams.com, your website made all the difference. Russell G.
I passed my PAL exam with flying colors. I found the questions that you provided to be excellent and they prepared me extremely well for both the written and practical exam. I have recommended your website to a number of my friends who are in the process of study for their PAL exam. Thanks again!!! John
I can't tell you how much I LOVE this site. I'm prepping for my exams next month and this is absolutely the best way to train. It immediately showed me my weak areas, and now I can give extra attention to those. PLUS, I have to say, the tests are actually fun to take. Well done!
I opted to write the challenge exams instead of taking the courses. Even after studying the manuals, I failed both sets of practice exams. I then ordered and completed both sets of questions. Thanks to GunExams, I completed both sets of examinations yesterday with 98 and 98 on the non-restricted and 100 and 96 on the restricted and prohibited exams. Don - Feel free to use this testimonial if you want. I just wanted to thank you for making these questions available.

After you’ve traced the face with the pen tool hit Ctrl +Enter to create a selection of the face.
The next four steps in order:
1. hit Ctrl +c to copy the selection into the clipboard
2. hit Ctrl +Shift +i to invert the selection
3. Apply a layer mask to the background layer to mask out the face (layer mask icon is at the bottom of the layers palette).
4. Create a new layer above the background layer, name it face and hit Ctrl +V to copy the face into the face layer.
Then you’ll probably have to reposition the face and line it up correctly. If all goes well your picture should look exactly like the original photo except you have an additional layer of just the face.
With the face layer selected hit Shift +Ctrl +U to desaturate.
Now you can bring in the dried mud texture. Open the texture in Photoshop and drag it into your face document (it should be on top of all other layers). If your using the texture I supplied, its pretty big so you have to size it down. Temporarily lower the opacity of the mud texture so you can see what area of the mud you want over the face then hit Ctrl +T to bring up the transform tool, Scale an position the dried mud where you want it.
When you get it where you want, hit enter to apply and raise the opacity of the dried mud back up to 100%.
With the mud layer selected in the layers palette, Ctrl +click the “thumbnail” of the face layer in the layers palette to create a selection. Apply a layer mask to the mud layer by clicking on the icon an the bottom of the layer palette and set the blend mode to Color Burn.
Select the “layer mask Thumbnail” of the dried mud layer and take the blur tool from the tools palette and soften the edges a little around the face. Then take the Sponge tool and paint/scrub on the neck to bring in a little texture.
Select the Face layer and take the burn tool from the tools palette and darken a little around the Eye and the corner of the mouth.
Then select the background layer and use the burn tool again to darken the hair and neck area ( use a soft brush at about 80px.
Next, Select the “Layer mask Thumbnail” of the dried mud layer. Select the paint brush and make sure your forground is set to black and paint around the pupil and iris to reveal the original eye. You can easily give the eye some color by creating a colored circle around the iris and changing the blend mode to overlay. I like the darkish gray look so I won’t do that in this tutorial.
In this last step we’ll add just a touch of the levels adjustment to make the face just a little more erie looking. Select the face layer and go to Image>Adjustments>levels and just move the black and gray values slightly or just play around with the values to get it how you want. Here’s what I used.
In an optional step, add another layer above the rest, set the forground color to red and background to black and fill it with the clouds filter filter>render>clouds and then mask it to the shape of the face the same way did the Dried Mud layer, set the blend mode to overlay and opacity to about 50%.
Here’s my Final:

There was a time before the rise of animals in the NFT space. Some may remember the uber-popular Tamagotchi’s. If you didn’t have them there was at least someone you know who had them and treated them like real pets. But that craze started in the ’90s and the digital version of a pet changed and evolved a lot since then. Now we have a variety of digital pets. Especially in the NFT industry. There are apes, dogs, bears, crocodiles, and a whole lot of other creatures in the NFT marketplace. Now we have “Dragonz”
What are Dragonz from Clash of Dragonz?
These “Dragonz” are dragon-like NFT creatures that are based on the Ethereum Blockchain and evolve from an egg that will be uniquely generated from over 600 hand-drawn traits and can be used to play in the metaverse, trade on OPenSea, and earn royalties.
What makes Clash of Dragonz so special?
The NFT project is limited to 7777 unique “Dragonz” characters that can be collected, and each one is distinctively designed with over 600 different features. There are 5 different “Dragonz” families and each family has its own strengths and weaknesses which are key elements for the Play-to-Earn game. Then there are 12 iconic “Dragonz” that are iconic and don’t belong to any family but have special powers that can be used to play in the game. They also have royalties of 5% that you can earn.
How to buy “Dragonz” from Clash of Dragonz?
If you want to have your own “Dragonz” you have to mint them and it will start as an EGG that will evolve into your own unique Dragonz. If you want to buy or trade already minted “Dragonz” you can do so on OpenSea. Keep in mind, since they are based on the Ethereum Blockchain you need to have Ethereum in your wallet to buy them. You can then place a bid or buy them for a fixed price. OpenSea has a detailed guide on how to buy NFTs here https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/sections/1500000462261-Buying
So should you buy “Clash of Dragonz” ?
As always we recommend to DYOR (Do your own research) and educating yourself before purchasing an NFT. There is always the risk of losing the money that you’ve put in. But…
If you want to have your own “Dragonz” as your pet that evolves from an egg and view it as a game it might be something worth considering. We surely will keep an eye open on how they evolve over time.

Pre-printed and currently in stock - you don't have to wait weeks to get this
awesome smiling ghost bath bomb mold!
This mold is easier on your hands, and easier to use than a three piece mold!
This style of mold does not require a top and bottom piece. It produces a
bath bomb with a beautiful decoration on one side, while the other side is
NOT for use in bath bomb presses - bath bombs are made by filling the mold,
compressing it by hand, and trimming off the excess bath bomb mix.
Printed with PLA plastic so please wash in cold water only, and do not soak as
they can retain water.
Dimensions of finished bath bomb: approximately 3.75 x 2 x 1 inches. The
weight of your finished bath bomb will vary based on your bath bomb recipe and
how firmly you pack the mold.
These molds are a single piece of 3D printed plastic and do not contain a bath
bomb ring, or separate top and bottom pieces.
Colors vary based upon our filament supply and our choosing, though we
generally use black.
Bath bombs are not included.
To use, add a small amount of your bath bomb mix to the bottom, and press it
into the design, especially the edges on the bottom. Continue to fill while
compacting the mix with your fingers, until it is overfilled. Compress the mix
further using your palm.
Trim the excess compressed mix using a spatula or other flat but rigid
instrument, then hit the edge of the mold with the mix side down against a
surface. If the bomb does not slide out easily, gently tap the sides to break
the vacuum and it should slide right out.


If all the courses below are fully booked or the dates don’t suit you, please email us and we will let you know if/when any others are arranged.
Due to the popularity of Lee & Kathy’s pottery courses, in addition to our normal courses, we are also now offering week courses on:
A Beginners’ Guide to Pottery Throwing
This will cover predominantly throwing (bowls, cylinders, enclosed shapes) but also turning, decorating and applying handles/lids, The throwing techniques include centreing, opening up and pulling up. The emphasis is on learning rather than creating lots of finished pots.
It is suitable for beginners who have a keen interest and those who’ve done a little in the past but not had time to focus or practice sufficiently to acquire confidence/expertise.
Throwing can be tiring and requires good body mobility/flexibility to operate the wheel.
If you are not sure if a 5 day course is suitable for you, you may prefer to attend a half day course with me first and/or email me with any questions.
The format will be 5 mornings of tuition & practice from 9:30 till 1pm Monday to Friday. The tutors Lee & Kathy have, between them, over 50 years of production craft pottery throwing and teaching – see some recent reviews & videos of our throwing techniques), The number of attendees will be kept very small to ensure plenty of time for individual tuition.
See what previous students have said:
Have just completed a five day pottery course with Lee and his lovely mum; a fabulous experience. Lee shared his knowledge in a very professional way whilst managing to add a lot of humour into the mix . Truly inspirational! Can’t wait to collect my pots .
As a complete beginner in throwing I had no idea what to expect or how much I would learn. It was a great experience. Lee and his mum Kathy are so welcoming and the experience and skill level they have as potters between them is incredible. Lee keeps the class to small numbers which means he is able to teach on a very one to one basis and see where you need help to progress forward. His skills and patience are amazing. It was amazing how quickly we picked up new techniques and by the end of the week were all producing pots of different types. Everyone on the course was super friendly, I cannot recommend this course enough or even a visit to the pottery and browse in the shop. I can’t wait to return .
We have just returned from a five day pottery throwing course with Lee, it was really good, informative and great fun too. Lee is a great teacher and we have learnt significantly from his efforts.
It’s been a week since we have returned from the week’s course and we are still telling our friends and family how great it was. You have tremendous skill and patience and are an excellent tutor. We found it challenging, interesting and fun.
My partner and I have just finished a week’s course at the pottery. Whilst we are not absolute beginners having attended a couple of courses elsewhere, Lee’s approach to teaching has been a revelation. Both Lee and his mother Cathy were very welcoming and set us at ease straightaway. By the end of the week we now have the confidence to take our new hobby to the next step…buy a wheel and kiln! We can’t wait to pick up our finished pots. If you want to try your hand at throwing pots their courses are highly recommended!
Long experience has taught us that learning to throw for 5 full days rather than 5 half days is too exhausting for most so we hope you’ll be pleased to hear that the pottery is located in beautiful countryside and in between the market towns of Kirkby Lonsdale, Hawes & Settle.
The cost is £285 and this also includes :
– 4 to 6 pots (dependent on weight) to be glazed & fired after the course – can be collected at a later date (or packed & posted for an additional charge).
– morning tea/coffee & biscuits
There is self-catering holiday cottage accommodation available adjacent to the pottery, alternatively there is a variety of cottages and B&Bs in the village of Ingleton 4 miles away including Acorn Cottage (managed by Lee’s wife).
Email or ring us with any questions. A £50 deposit is required to reserve your place. (The balance is due 6 weeks before the course start date.)
Courses in 2024 will be £300 per person.

Ordnance Club at Hastings, Kolkata is a historic Regimental Institution of the Army Ordnance Corps and is one of the oldest and prestigious sports Clubs of Kolkata. This is a proprietary Institution owned and managed by Ordnance Services Officers Welfare Society (OSOWS) and hence the name Ordnance Club. Consequent to the formation of Board of Ordnance on 08 April 1775, a recreational centre was created in the Hastings area in Kolkata, which was managed by Ordnance Officers. This was later established as a Club in 1907, with the objective of enhancing espirit-de-corps among AOC officers and promotes sports and cultural activities. The Club Rules were approved by the Government in 1927.
When the Club was first constituted, the members were mostly British officers, British Warrant Officers and Indian Army Officers. A few elite civilian officers and officers of DGOF were also permitted to be members of the Club. After 1947, the Club opened its membership to other civilians of various social strata on a restricted scale. All serving and retired officers of Army Ordnance Corps are Life Members of this Club. In addition, Defence Service and senior Central and State Govt Officers in Kolkata are also granted station and tenure based Service membership. Ordnance Club is predominantly a Sports Club with facilities for Badminton, Billiards, Snooker, Squash, Tennis, Swimming, Table Tennis, Cards and Gym with excellent training facilities and infrastructure. The Club regularly conducts various State Ranking tournaments besides organising various cultural and entertainment programmes and events for the members.
Keeping pace with changing times, Ordnance Club braced modernity however retaining the old charm in more ways than one. The Main building, wooden floored ball room, lush green lawn and the entire establishment amply reflects the rich Army Club Heritage and legacy with the emphasis on discipline, sports and quality entertainment.
How to Reach Ordnance Club is an important landmark in Hastings, Kolkata-700022, located on the Commissariat Road in close proximity to the illustrious Princep Ghat and Fort William area. Being centrally located, taxis are readily available from all parts of the city. Distance from Netaji Subash Chandra Bose International Airport is 30 Kms and the driving time is approximately 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the traffic condition. The distance from Howrah Railway Station is 6 Kms and from Sealdah Railway Station, it is 8 Kms. The club is just 3 km from the busy Park Street and walking distance from Strand Road, which affords 24x7 connectivity by Bus, local trains and taxis. Being close to Babu Ghat, Ferry across Hoogly and Interstate Private Bus services are also available.


Click here for advice on starting an Edible Gardens in any yard
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Michelle Obama tapped into a green zeitgeist by planting the White House's organic, edible garden. All around the nation, locovores and plant lovers are turning their backyards (and even their front lawns) into fruit and vegetable producing plots. To celebrate spring, we revisited The Secret Garden. In Agnieszka Holland's beautiful 1993 adaptation of Francis Hodgson Burnett's classic book, Mary is shipped off to a lonely mansion on the English moor to be raised by her uncle. There, Mary discovers two secrets: a hidden garden, overgrown with weeds, and her sickly cousin Colin, locked away in a secret part of the vast estate. Mary instinctively knows that both her cousin and the garden need sunlight and love to return to health. We needed a restorative dose of nature, so we stole the kids away to our favorite public garden, and were happy to discover a hidden Secret Garden (inspired by the novel) and even tumbled upon an edible plant area called Nature's Table Garden. Teeming with new lettuce and tomato plants, this fragrant plot inspired us to stop by a nursery to pick up tomatoes, lettuces and herbs for our own edible garden. Summer will truly have arrived when we enjoy that first tomato salad!

What is it? Blending is the art of mixing different colors (whether still similar in hue or on completely opposite sides of the color wheel) to create a gradient of color, not a muddying mess that obliterates the vibrancy and trueness of the individual colors used to create a particular look.
Why bother? Using a single wash of color can be perfect or even ideal for some situations, like running out the door to make a few errands or for a simple workday, but in general, people who utilize makeup want to use more than one color, and of course, there are several good reasons behind this. Using multiple colors creates a sense of depth and dimension to the eyes, especially when used correctly. A darker color in the crease gives the appearance of a deeper, more pronounced crease; just as darkening the outer portion of the lid often defines the natural eye shape. By contrasting this dark shadow with a lighter color, the artist will open up their eyes while still allowing for an emphasis on accenting the shape of their eyes.
What do I need? I always find that telling makeup beginners that the easiest place to begin learning how to blend and understanding what exactly you are attempting to accomplish is to use similar colors. Using two drastically different colors is not nearly as easy as taking a dark brown and a medium brown or even a dark olive green and a lighter green. I also recommend choosing browns to start with, because you simply cannot muddy up browns, as they are already brown! The texture of the shadows and the type of base you choose can also simplify or complicate the process. Smoother textures will be easier to blend compared to chalky or matte ones. By MAC, some of the easiest shadows to work with are the ones with the best color payoff, and include many of the veluxe and veluxe pearl shadows. Lustre finishes are less color payoff as a whole and tend to be more prone to flake because of the chunkier texture of the shadow itself. Shadows like Antiqued or Woodwinked are definitely recommended. A way you can tell if a particular shadow will work is to swatch both on the back of your hand and test-run it. Fingers are great to blend with, but we will get into why you should not use them for your eyes shortly. Putting the shadow on the back of your hand and seeing how easily the two colors blend together will be a good indicator of how well they will blend on your eyes with a brush. Brushes are absolutely essential to applying eye makeup, and I cannot stress the importance of using brushes over fingers or sponge-tip applicators. Wrinkles are caused by pulling and stressing the skin out excessively, including merely pressure applied to the skin. As we get older, our skin loses elasticity, and in order to help you reduce your costs of wrinkle creams in the next ten, twenty, thirty years… brushes help correct some of the mistakes finger usage can make. Brushes will put less pressure on your eyelids allowing for less pulling or stretching of the sensitive skin there. Sponge-tip applicators are better than fingers, but not nearly as beneficial as brushes can be. One of the worst parts of sponge applicators is that they waste a lot of product, even for face makeup. They complicate the blending process because of how much excess shadow is left on the sponge, so you generally have to go through several in order to use a cleaner slate each time. Brushes pick up less color during each swipe, and this allows for better precision to determine color strength and vibrancy, but also allow you to easily switch between a light pink color and a dark blue color. Sponge-tip applicators also are much less forgiving of any mistakes you might make, because of that high color amount they pick up. Blending is best accomplished by a brush because the bristles allow colors to be subtly entwined and meshed together. I will admit that sponge-tip applicators may be able to blend shadows together, but ultimately do not find that they are the best method to go about blending successfully, especially over the long-haul.
When choosing a brush to apply eyeshadow and blend the colors together, there is definitely a wide, and most overwhelming, variety of brushes to choose from. Some users prefer to have separate brushes for the initial shadow application and the actual blending process. Either is acceptable, but it is not impossible to have an all-in-one eye brush. It is important not to use a brush that is firm or stiff, because you want the bristles to have a bit of fluffiness to allow you to sweep easily horizontally, vertically, and angularly. For instance, I find that MAC’s 252 brush is too flat and firm to do much more than apply shadow. You want a brush more like MAC’s 239, which has a bit of fluffiness, but not excessively so like the 222. The shape of the brush should be dome-like or slightly angular, but I would suggest the dome shape as being the most versatile. It is also important to choose a brush with soft bristles, and softness is not something solely reserved for high-end or more expensive makeup brushes. Sonia Kashuk makes more affordable brushes and can be found at Target stores, and their softness is not compromised by their price. Even some craftstore paintbrushes work wonderfully in the absence of cosmetic brushes! You can see what brushes I have purchased and pictures of what a good blending brush would look like by referring to my brush post.
How can I do it? Many believe that blending is one of the more difficult techniques to master, but it is merely something that takes a degree of precision and the willingness to practice if it does not just come naturally or easily to the person. I admit that it is not always easily accomplished when working with certain colors or textures. Each makeup application allows me to practice my blending or fine-tune it, because blending is really an on-going technique. Tutorials are an excellent way to understand the basics and mechanisms behind blending, but practice truly makes perfect in this case.
You begin blending by first applying two colors or more on your eyelid. There are two methods to go about doing this: 1) you can apply each color and blend afterwards, or 2) you can apply one and then blend as you apply the second one. I would suggest following the first if you really do not know where to start, because it is a lot easier to understand the process with this method. With method one, after you have applied the two colors to your lid, you will want to take your brush and hold it just at the end of the lightest color so that your bristles are vertical to your eyelid. Generally speaking, it is easiest to blend by pulling the lightest color into the darker one. With your brush positioned correctly, you want to pull the brush gently from the edge of the lightest that meets the darker color and pull towards the darker one. You are taking the lighter color and lightening the darker color faintly, which will create a sort of gradient effect so colors gradually fade into other colors, instead of splotches or blocks of color where it is clear where each one begins/ends. You do not have to drag the lightest color all the way to the end of the darker one; the point is merely to soften the edge between them so that the color on your lid appears fluid, while still maintaining distinct colors. The second method still follows the same technique as the first one; the only difference is perhaps the application follows darkest to lightest, allowing the lightest always to be overlaid on the darkest.
The art of blending is based on a very simple technique, but it just takes familiarity with it in order to be comfortable practicing it. One trick to aid in application is to use an intermediary color between two colors. For example, if you were to blend red and yellow together, you would likely get, at the very least, a tinge of orange; if you have an orange shadow, you can place a touch of it between the two and it will make blending even easier. Colors that are drastically different need to be handled very carefully, and it is a good idea not to rush through. Blending light green and a dark, hot pink requires a bit of finesse. The blending has to be incredibly subtle because these two colors do not naturally fade into each other, and infact, may be one of the tougher combinations to blend together without muddying them up. To deal with this, it is best to bring just a hint of the green into the pink, and repeat the motions as necessary. It will be problematic if you assume you will get a perfect gradient with just these two colors; it is best to merely soften the edge between the two colors, but you are unlikely to find it looks as blended as a look that merely consists of light green and dark green. Also realize that between green and pink, there are several colors inbetween, and your lid does not have the space to bring out all of them easily, either.
If you decide to use a second brush for blending purposes, the technique is still the same, but the brush you use will most likely be fairly fluffy in nature. You will still place your brush similarly and be gently pulling the colors together, meshing them to create a form of a gradient. Fluffier brushes tend to pick up less color so they are more forgiving; one wrong tap or stroke will not necessarily ruin your makeup. For this reason, it might be helpful for those struggling to successfully blend.
What else? Blending is merely pulling one color into and over another, almost like a venn diagram has two individual circles that share an overlapping section in the middle. You can facilitate blending by choosing a good eyeshadow base, like Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC’s Prep ‘n Prime Eye, or L’Oreal Decrease; these not only allow your eyeshadow to have staying power and prevent the color from fading, falling off, or creasing, but they will help make blending all that easier. It is important to note that expensive brushes, eyeshadows, or other tools are not essential or even necessary to blend well. It is more about the quality of the product than the price; if the drugstore variety works well, it is not worse than an equivalent higher-end brand. I must stress the significance of taking your time and not rushing through the process if you are not comfortable with it. Use what makes you comfortable, and do not be afraid to spend an hour in front of the mirror ensuring you are doing a good job in perfecting your look. Not everyone can do perfect makeup in twenty minutes, and even those who are able, were not so when they first began, either. Have fun with it; spend one night mixing your two favorite colors together and see what you come up with. Experiment, test out new ideas, and be creative as you learn what works, what does not, and how you can improve upon your skills as a makeup artist.


Hey there, thanks for visiting my blog.
My name is Ana, a Brazilian who currently lives in Germany. I am an agronomist, a student, and an enthusiastic runner. I love to drink coffee, and I am always excited to travel to see more of the world, to experience other cultures and learn from people. However, above all, my mind and heart are all about food – the flavors, tastes, textures, formats, and colors. Ah, the colors 🙂
The Vegan and Colors is a journey that I embarked upon to broaden my understanding on how to live a healthier life, and keep a strong and fit body. I also have a deep desire to inspire others to eat more colorful and nutrient-dense meals. I chose to cook without using any animal product, which means only vegan recipes are shared here. That decision is part of a personal quest on how to be part of the efforts to mitigate the damage that has been caused to our forests, landscapes, ocean, rivers, wildlife, indigenous peoples, etc. I consider eating less animal products a valid and important path.
The answers added to my understanding are blended, mixed, cut, baked, boiled, chopped, and cooked in my kitchen. Yes, you heard it right! In my tiny and humble kitchen. I do belive that cooking should be fun, quick and part of everyone’s life, and as once said by the famous food activist and writer Michael Pollan, “Cooking can change your life”. I’m obsessed with colorful, natural and whole foods. So, all of the recipes of the Vegan and Colors are packed with colors.
I hope I am able to inspire some of you during your journey,
With lots of love,

I’ve been an artist my whole life. I’m enthralled by the creative process: taking in the world around us and manifesting imagery through the lens of our own perception. I define my core style as surreal portraiture. I draw influences (:D) from ultra-realism portrait art, modern tattoo art, and the comic book artists of my youth that kept me with a pencil in my hand. I’m inspired by the endless journey of creating unique expressions. I aim to continue my exploration into my imagination and to share the visual treasures I find along the way.
My website features my creative ventures outside of my tattoo work. For my completed tattoos, and available designs, please click on my instagram, located on the right side on my page. If you’d like to contact me to collaborate on a tattoo, please select Tattoo Booking & FAQ’S from the menu above.
Thank you for your time. I’m beyond thankful for this opportunity to share my unique expressions with you.


When I wake up in the morning, I get dressed for a long day at my milliner shop. First, I put on my silk white stockings. I have fancy clothes for work because I need to show off the latest fashions to my customers. Next, I put on my stay. My stay is really tight and makes my waist look very small. Third, I slip my fabric shoes with buckles on. Fourth, I put my needlework pocket on underneath my layers of clothes that I will soon put on. After that, I slide my hoop petticoat onto my hips so they look big. Sixth, I put my under petticoat on over my hoop petticoat. Then, I put on my mob cap, silk petticoat, stomacher, neck kerchief, and finally, my gown. To finish it off, I put my apron on.


I have been doing my own gel nails now for nearly 18 months. I was fed up of chipped nails using standard polish and found it a pain booking in and traveling to a salon every couple of weeks.
I wouldn’t say I was amazing at painting nails but I do get by and after all practice makes perfect.
In terms of gels I watched a few YouTube tutorials before taking the plunge, and quickly decided it’s worth a go.
I decided to go for the Red Carpet Manicure set. It seemed great value and had easy to follow instructions.
You start with a prep on the nails, then use the structure, coloured plush (two coats), followed by the brilliance for the top coat. Thin coats gives the best finish, don’t be tempted to do thick coats thinking it will be faster or give you a better look. It doesn’t, if anything it makes it more likely not to last. Don’t forget to fold you nails under the UV light between each coat and make sure you leave it the the full time to cure properly.
I like to do mine on a Sunday night in front of the tv, I use a laptop knee pad to make it easier and to have a solid surface to work on.
Thanks for stopping by, please don’t forget to like and follow 😘 xoxo


An evil sorcerer cast a spell on a noble soldier, turning him into an animated pile of bones with no memories. Through collecting several pieces of a magic jigsaw puzzle, the soldier is able to rebuild his memories and regain his humanity and abilities, by which he'll defeat the sorcerer and free the lands from his evil.
You can play the game in: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer 9+, Opera, Mobile Safari, Chrome for Android, Dolphin and Android's Default Browser.
Skeleton Jigsaw started as a little prototype that we used to test frameworks, technologies and possibilities. After a while, we decided to invest more time on it and release a demo, so here it is!


My daughter loves to draw, color, make jewelry – anything creative. All over my house you’ll find markers, crayons, pencils, glue, scissors, you name it, there’s always something going on and my refrigerator is always covered in her latest creations. And every time we go shopping, she needs new art and craft supplies – EVERY TIME! *sigh* However, while’s great at creating things – jewelry, pot pads, bookmarks, Christmas ornaments, etc, she doesn’t draw so well – even though, bless her heart, she really tries.
When I heard about Everything Butt Art at the Zoo, I knew she’d love it. Everything Butt Art is a drawing series by Brian Snyder and Alexis Moniello that provides step by step drawing activities. What’s the catch? Every drawing starts with their basic “butt” shape (see below).
Everything Butt Art at the Zoo teaches everything from monkeys, snakes, and alligators to zebras and giraffes. Mixed in with the step-by-step instructions are a few fun activities such as a crossword, maze, and word search.
There is also an iPad app for Everything Butt Art:
In the iPad app all the things kids love about the book are interactive in a new way. The book has audio. Drawings can be saved and decorated with stamps. Butt Hunt becomes a game.
We don’t have have an iPad, but this is one of those apps that makes me wish we did.
Children can also submit their artwork via the iPad app, their Facebook wall or email to be displayed in their online gallery. Now what kid would not like to show off their drawings online? (Note: There’s also the option of a private gallery for those that are more concerned about privacy.)


Living in Elgin in the Laich of Moray, North East Scotland, I am fortunate to have a diversity of Scottish scenery and Nature to explore and photograph, from mountains to sea shore.
I shoot most of my images on a Sony A99ii. I have also started to shoot monochrome images using a Mamiya RZ67.
Although I shoot mainly Heritage, Landscape, and Nature I hope that with a scan through my galleries you will find something to focus on that pleases or inspires you.
Enjoy my “Sight”

Weberocereus stands out among other cacti due to its elongated columnar stems and large nocturnal blooms, which add an enchanting touch to any garden or indoor space.
2. The History and Origins of Weberocereus
The history of Weberocereus dates back many years, with its origins rooted in the tropical regions of Central and South America. This genus belongs to the Cactaceae family, which is known for its diverse range of cacti species.

Growing Weberocereus: Tips and Techniques
1. Choosing the Right Location for Your Weberocereus
When it comes to growing Weberocereus, selecting the perfect location is crucial for its health and optimal growth. These cacti thrive in areas with plenty of sunlight, preferably in a location where they can receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. It is essential to choose a spot that offers protection from strong winds, as excessive exposure can damage their delicate stems.
In terms of temperature, this cactus enjoys a warm and tropical climate. It is best to keep them in an environment where the temperature remains between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C) throughout the year. Avoid exposing them to temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as this can impede their growth and potentially cause damage.
2. Understanding the Ideal Soil and Watering Conditions
Weberocereus thrives in well-draining soil that mimics its native habitat. A mixture of sandy soil and organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, provides the ideal growing medium for these cacti. The sandy soil allows for adequate drainage, preventing waterlogged roots, while the organic matter helps retain moisture and provides essential nutrients.
When it comes to watering, it is crucial to strike a balance. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, while underwatering can cause the plant to become dehydrated. During the active growing season, which is typically from spring to fall, water your Weberocereus deeply but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings, ensuring that excess water drains out of the pot or soil.
1. What distinguishes Weberocereus in the cacti realm?
Answer: Known for its magnificent flowers and unique growth patterns, this genus boasts elongated stems and large, nocturnal blooms, captivating both gardeners and indoor plant enthusiasts.
2. Where can these cacti typically be found in the wild?
Answer: They originate from the tropical terrains of Central and South America, flourishing in rocky and arid landscapes.
3. Are there multiple types within this genus?
Answer: Absolutely. The genus comprises several distinct species and varieties, with Weberocereus tunilla, Weberocereus glaber, Weberocereus nudatus, and Weberocereus tonduzii being some notable members.
4. Can you describe the appearance of Weberocereus tunilla?
Answer: This particular type showcases slender stems adorned with numerous spines and bears either white or yellow flowers. Bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil best suit its growth.
5. What’s special about Weberocereus glaber?
Answer: Often referred to as “Little Tiger,” it captivates with stem patterns reminiscent of tiger stripes and is recognized for its vibrant pink, nocturnal blooms.
6. Why is Weberocereus nudatus known for its dramatic presence?
Answer: With its long climbing stems that can span impressive lengths and large, fragrant white flowers that open at night, it’s a standout in any collection.
7. Could you give insights into Weberocereus tonduzii?
Answer: This species displays thick, columnar stems punctuated with spines, offering a robust appearance. It’s also known for its elegant nocturnal blooms that radiate a soothing fragrance.
8. Any advice for cultivating these plants?
Answer: When growing them, it’s essential to select a sunny spot shielded from strong gusts. These plants favor well-draining soil and benefit from a balanced watering regimen, allowing the soil to dry a bit between sessions.


2017 Honda TRX250X SE
Sized right for fun.
Maybe specialization is fine if you’re talking about insects. But in the world of a great all-around sport ATV, versatility is the key to having a good time. You want a machine that can fit a wide range of riders, abilities and terrains. And that ATV is the Honda TRX250X.
There’s a reason this is one of our most popular sport ATVs. A whole bunch of reasons, actually. Beginners like the light handling, and especially appreciate the TRX250X’s broad, four-stroke powerband—a trait that’s made Honda engines famous for decades. Lots of riders enjoy the exclusive Honda SportClutch™. It’s a unique feature that gives you all the control of a manual shift and clutch, but that also eliminates the chance of shift-induced stalling. Riders with more experience like the long-travel suspension and athletic performance on the trail. And just about everyone appreciates the low-maintenance features like the shaft final drive and famous Honda reliability.
Light enough for smaller adults, big enough for full-sized riders, and with a powerband not easily outgrown, the TRX250X is the ATV you can purchase once and ride just about forever. And that’s exactly what you’d expect when you choose a Honda.
Efficient Engine Layout: Honda pioneered the concept of mounting our ATV engines front-to-back in the chassis. That results in a smoother, more efficient powertrain, and more power getting to the rear wheels.
No-Stall Shifting: Honda’s exclusive SportClutch is only available on the TRX250X, and it’s a great feature. New riders get to learn clutch control without worrying about stalling, while experienced riders get all the control and freedom to shift the way they normally would.
Fresh Styling: The TRX250X even gives you your choice of distinct styles. A white version featuring new silver aluminum wheels is really unique in our ATV lineup. And there’s also a special edition red version with black wheels, red hubs and springs.
- Rugged, reliable 229cc OHV engine: The TRX250X’s lightweight OHV air-cooled 229cc engine is longitudinally mounted, allowing direct driveshaft alignment to rear wheels for more efficient power transfer. The two-valve cylinder head design features performance-optimized valve timing, a 31.5mm-diameter intake valve and a 27mm-diameter exhaust valve contribute to the engine’s broad, usable powerband.
- Rubber-Mounted Engine: A rubber-mounted engine reduces vibration. This helps make parts last longer, and cuts down on rider fatigue as well.
- Shaft Final Drive: Honda’s fully sealed rear driveshaft is super-strong and virtually maintenance free. The driveshaft sits in-line with the engine’s crankshaft for maximum driveline efficiency.
- Independent Front Suspension: Independent double-wishbone front suspension provides an exceptional 5.9 inches of travel and a smooth ride over rough terrain.
- Lightweight Aluminum Wheels: Lightweight aluminum wheels reduce unsprung weight for superior handling.
- Exclusive Honda SportClutch™: The handlebar-mounted Honda SportClutch enables the rider to experience manual clutch actuation with the advantage of no stalling when coming to a stop. This revolutionary feature allows beginning or novice riders to learn clutch engagement points, while experienced riders enjoy the full performance of a conventional manual clutch.
- Reverse: The TRX250X’s easy to use reverse makes unloading or maneuvering out of tight trail conditions easier.
- Electric Starter: The effortless electric starter makes getting the engine started easy, even when the engine is cold.
- Keyed ignition: Keyed ignition switch for added security. The switch also lets you control who goes riding and when.
- Fresh styling: With a TRX250X, you get your choice of distinct color styles. A white version featuring silver aluminum wheels is really unique in our ATV lineup. And there’s even a special edition red version with race-inspired graphics as wells as red hubs and springs. Black aluminum wheels too.
