I dove headfirst into building our Facebook page (which became the company’s largest social footprint).

It was designed to operate above the Earth's turbulent and obscuring atmosphere to observe celestial objects at ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The main purpose of this mission was to deploy Hubble. Engineers ordered the valve closed and the countdown continued. On launch day, the countdown was briefly halted at T-31 seconds when Discovery 's computers failed to shut down a fuel valve line on ground support equipment. The APU was eventually replaced and the Hubble Space Telescope's batteries were recharged. A launch attempt on April 10, 1990, was scrubbed at T-4 minutes for a faulty valve in auxiliary power unit (APU) number one. Mission highlights Space Shuttle Discovery launches from LC-39B for STS-31 with Columbia on LC-39A in preparation for STS-35. Young was originally assigned to command this mission, which would have been his seventh spaceflight, but was reassigned to an administrative position and was replaced by Loren J. This mission was originally to be flown in August 1986 as STS-61-J using Atlantis, but was postponed due to the Challenger disaster.

![]() C Major scale: C – D – E – F – G – A – BĪnd there are 7 chords made using only the notes from the scale:.We’ll dive into some fundamental music theory using the key of C Major - all white keys on a piano. They’re made up of a combination of notes from the given key, or scale. ![]() If you’re wondering how to write a song and feel overwhelmed, finding chords that go together is a great place to start! So how do we do that? Music Theory Basics: Chords in a KeyĬhords in a progression sound good because they’re in the same key. Lead lines and melodies naturally reveal themselves depending on the chords you’ve put together. Using a solid progression as a foundation, you can more easily build a complete song around it. But sequencing chords together lets us express more complex emotions and ideas. They can very simply be major, or minor, or diminished…they can convey a vague tonality and emotion. Individually, chords don’t ‘say’ a whole lot. For singer-songwriters, a chord progression played on an acoustic guitar or piano with a vocal melody on top is the whole song! They form the backbone and harmony of a full arrangement, or sometimes stand alone. What Is a Chord Progression?Ĭhord progressions are simply a series of 2 or more chords played in a piece of music. ![]() Understanding these patterns is the key to expanding your chord knowledge and writing progressions that ‘work’ more easily. ![]() Luckily, the majority of progressions tend to follow established patterns that songwriters and listeners know and love. This can be overwhelming, especially when we’re not yet comfortable finding chords that go together right away. Even though we only have 12 notes, there are hundreds of possible chord progressions. ![]() ![]() ![]() I do like the lighter shade for highlighting & sometimes mix the two since I like to conceal with a more neutral tone under my eyes. 370 W matches my skin tone pretty well & is perfect for any blemishes. I picked up 310 C, 370 W, 415 W, peach cc & orange/red cc. There's a shade for those with neutral, warm and cool undertones. If you're skin type is oily, I would definitely recommend setting it.Īs far as shades go, there seems to be a good range of color for just about everyone. ![]() I personally liked wearing it with a setting powder. I think when they say, "natural-looking matte" they really mean, semi-matte. I wore the products with and without a setting powder, just to see how well the natural-looking matte finish held up. I definitely recommend prepping/priming any areas on your face prior to wearing this concealer. I did notice the concealer didn't sit as smoothly without my hydrating eye cream. I wore the products with and without an eye cream. When this happens I usually just take a q-tip and blend it out. I did find this to crease a bit where my skin folds right under the eye, but that tends to happen when I wear any type of makeup in that area. I would say in the 6 hours, it did not move or separate. Note - I did only wear the products for about 6 hours (max), each day so I can't speak for an all day (more than 6 hr) wear. I personally found all the claims to be true: ultra-pigmented, full-coverage, long-wearing & weightless. After I apply the product onto my skin I wait a few seconds and blend it out more with a damp beauty blender. If you don't like working with the back of your hand to warm up the product, I would recommend using a flat steel mixing palette. With that said, I definitely prefer using my fingers rather than a brush. This product works best when it is warmed up prior to application. The consistency is a bit thick and tacky, similar to the It Cosmetics bye bye under eye concealer. I have tried all 3 forms of application - concealer brush, beauty blender & fingers. With this formula, a little goes a long way. They recommend using a pea-size but honestly, I'd start off with about half a pea-size. It is no joke that "one drop" is all it takes. ![]() The concealer was mainly used under my eyes & I have to say it's coverage is quite amazing. ![]() However, if I want more coverage I will use my foundation brush by MAC (I'll link both of these tools below).I used the corrector under my eyes & some areas where I have some discoloration. With both of these foundations I typically use my Beauty Blender to apply on an everyday basis because it gives it a smooth flawless finish. Unfortunately, the Revlon does not have the shade range like Lancome, so that would be my only con. I use the shade Caramel (400) and just like the Lancome it's a perfect match. Like I said earlier, I do tend to get oily in my t-zone, but with this foundation it's not excessive and just a little blot and I'm right back to normal. This foundation is also medium to full coverage, easy to apply, and oil-free. So if you're looking for an alternative to the Lancome, I think this is perfect, and at $9 (Target) it is much more affordable than the Lancome which is $47 (Sephora). I decided to put this foundation in the same post as the Lancome because the Lancome reminds me so much of the Colorstay. I think everyone who knows me will say I've suggested this foundation at least once to them, I love it that much! Dare I say it's my holy grail foundation?! It's my favorite drugstore foundation and even one I reach for often instead of my higher end foundations. I've used this foundation for years and it's one I always come back to over and over again. The next foundation I wanted to talk about is the Revlon Colorstay. I would definitely recommend this foundation if you're on the hunt for something new! It doesn't feel heavy when it's on either. It's not cakey nor does it separate around my nose or my chin. I do have combination skin (oily in the t-zone) and do have to blot later in the day but not nearly as much as I do with many other foundations. I'm not sure how legit the 24 hour claims are because I don't ever keep foundation on that long, but for a normal day it does great. I found the foundation to be easy to work with and the coverage buildable. I purchased the the shade 460 which has a warm/yellow undertone, and it matches perfectly. The shade range is great with 40 to choose from. Ok so on to the foundation! Lancome boasts this foundation to be an oil-free, long wearing liquid foundation with medium to full matte coverage, and should last for up to 24 hours. I love trying new foundations, I'm always on the hunt for something "better" in the foundation department. A few weeks ago I shared on my Instagram about how much I was loving the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation. ![]() ![]() This is doubly true if the texture of your icing doesn’t matter very much to you. The first is in making icing – since icing is the sort of thing you can keep making changes to, the textural variations between vanilla syrups are going to be easier to account for. There are two excellent use-cases for vanilla syrup in this context. Some are delicious, complex ingredients that will be a boon to any dish, while others taste much more like chemicals than the natural deliciousness of vanilla that we’re going for. If you’re using this in a baked good, it’s likely wise to steer clear of vanilla syrup, as it could affect your dish in unpredicted ways.Īlso, if you aren’t using homemade syrup, the qualities of different store-bought varieties can differ significantly. The first one is texture: invariably, syrups are going to be thicker and stickier than granulated or powdered vanilla sugars. These vanilla syrups can serve as an excellent substitute for vanilla sugar, though there are some important caveats to consider before doing so. Not everyone has vanilla extract on hand, but many of those who enjoy a shot of vanilla in their morning coffee will often have vanilla syrup present and ready to use. Because you only have one vanilla flavor at play in the dish, the subtler distinctions between vanilla styles are less important to consider. This combination works especially well in recipes that call for vanilla sugar as the only vanilla flavoring in the dish, like this Hazelnut Cake one. To get the ratios right, use a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a quarter cup of your chosen sugar per quarter cup of vanilla sugar called for by the recipe. To maximize the depth of taste, consider using organic and/or high-quality extract and sugar. While this won’t give you the same taste that homemade or store-bought vanilla sugar would, it’s similar enough not to make a difference in most dishes. In that case, you’ll still be relatively good to go if you have access to vanilla extract and some kind of granulated sugar. It’s quite possible that you do not have access to vanilla beans, or want to use the vanilla sugar sooner than the two weeks it will require to become infused. Wait between two to five weeks, shaking the containers every few days, and then you’ll have homemade vanilla sugar! Substitute 2 – Vanilla Extract and Sugar Make sure the bean is fully immersed in the sugar, then put your container away into a cool, dark location so it can infuse. One bean per container is typically best practice, though isn’t necessarily required. Then place the bean in an airtight container with your sugar. On the flip side, if you want to maximize the seeds’ color and texture, you can remove them from the bean then mix them with the rest of the sugar. The seeds can add more flavor but will add extra color and texture to the seasoning that you may not desire. First split the beans along their length without piercing through them, then remove the seeds if you want to. You’ll start the actual process of making vanilla sugar by preparing the beans. If your recipe calls for powdered vanilla sugar though, make sure to use powdered sugar. You can use any kind of sugar you like, so choose one whose flavor you want to experience in the dish in question. You can find vanilla beans at many grocery stores, though they’re typically much cheaper to purchase in bulk if you can find a supplier. Take one vanilla bean for every two cups of sugar you want to infuse. In both cases, you’re taking advantage of the vanilla bean’s natural tendency to infuse its flavor into its surroundings. The process works similarly to the process of making vanilla extract. If you can’t find vanilla sugar at the store, the best possible substitute is to make your own using vanilla beans and ordinary sugar.Īlthough the process is more complex than just combining the two – that’s we recommend fully making your version if you can instead of just combining vanilla extract and sugar (though that can work decently as well). ![]() ![]() ![]() Or, if you're the kind of person who lives for an of-the-moment costume, check out our definitive list of costumes inspired by movies and TV shows.

As Kirk and La'an are about to be arrested, they're rescued by Sera (Adelaide Kane), who is a "social media journalist" or somesuch, who was also at the site of the bridge bombing. This is boring and obligatory, and how does Kirk even know how to drive since he has never been on Earth? (He's from Iowa. In trying to follow the evidence, we end up with Kirk stealing a car and getting into a car chase with the cops. La'an believes the explosion was caused by advanced non-human technology (based on charring on the bridge remains). A newly completed major bridge over Lake Ontario is bombed, and La'an and Kirk attempt to investigate the cause. This happens while the plot finally begins to unfold. On the other hand, Christina Chong's performance throughout is very good, revealing La'an's painful torment, and slowly breaking down the walls to reveal her vulnerabilities. He is more Pine than Shatner, which is very much getting us into the copy of a copy discussion. He's fine as a generic character, but he does nothing here to convince me that he will ever work as Kirk. ![]() Paul Wesley still seems like he never should've been cast as Kirk, though I sure as hell don't know who should've. This would perhaps work better if there were some sort of chemistry between La'an and Kirk, but it's conceptual at best, and seems mostly to stem from La'an's comfort from the fact Kirk doesn't know who she is as a descendant of Khan - since Khan was not a significant figure in Earth's history in his timeline. The two spend the night in separate rooms, and La'an ventures into Kirk's room while he's sleeping, before retreating, as if she had hoped to do or say more. These scenes lack wit and just kind of burn screen time. The entire first act grinds to a halt as we spin our wheels while Kirk and La'an secure clothing (by stealing it from a store) and money (which Kirk acquires by street gambling at chess, which seems unlikely to achieve such yields), and buy hot dogs from a street vendor. Neither of them knows what they're supposed to do once here (except to heed the vague instruction to prevent an unspecified attack, of which they don't know the time or location). (Earth is fighting a costly war with the Romulans and the Vulcans are not allies.) When La'an pushes a button on the mysterious device, she and Kirk are instantly transported to 21st-century Toronto. Kirk is captain of the Enterprise, but there is no Federation. He has no idea who La'an is, and there's no record of her existence at all.Īfter examining the available facts, La'an concludes she has moved into an alternate timeline. La'an arrives on the bridge, where the captain is James T. He gives her a device and tells her to "Get to the bridge" before dying of a gunshot wound and then vanishing in a ripple of light. But today, a mysterious dying man appears in a flash of light in the corridor and tells her there was an attack in the past that must be stopped. She has an inner-torment from being a descendant of scourge-of-the-Earth Khan Noonien Singh - a torment that she hasn't resolved. ![]() ![]() As security chief, she intervenes in daily headaches that don't make her especially popular, leaving her feeling isolated and angry. And for an episode that should have an open, world-building feel, it comes across as weirdly small and claustrophobic, and with a complete lack of urgency. This story benefits from a few good ideas, but it suffers from a slew of very tired ones and off-the-shelf parts. There are good things lurking within "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow," but they're buried within an episode that's completely off-kilter in its sluggish execution of an overused Star Trek staple.
