#a crime when the design is this good but also scooped Michael is also good

[chloesimaginationthings]

AHHHHHHH I HAVE A QUESTION.. DO YOU THINK MAYBE WE COULD GET MORE PAST MICHAEL?? ISTG I LOVE THE WAY HIS DUMBASS LOOKS IN UR STYLE

TBH I’ve been meaning to draw more pre scooped and teen Michael! Think it could be fun to do more game specific comics but we’ll see!

[vagrantblvrd]

FAHC AU with hitmens!Gavin and rookie hitmens!Fiona who end up in Los Santos due to betrayal from their bosses/agency?

They manage to stay under the radar by posing as being known as a pair of generally competent criminal types? Hacker and muscle and both above average snipers. Know their tech and computer stuff, which is always a nice bonus.

Also, though?

Kind of idiots.

A lot of stories to back that up, but anyone looking to take advantage of them/consider them expendable or an acceptable loss meet with an ugly (bloody) end.

(No one realizes it for a long time since Gavin and Fiona know how to make something like that look like an accident, you know?)

Eventually they join the Fakes, where they run into the Battle Buddies again.

Relatively friendly enemies, although there was that one time Ryan shot Gavin in the back. Nothing personal, but still rude? But it’s all good because Fiona stabbed him in the side the next time they ran into one another.

(That time it was personal, just a little.)

Jeremy winged Fiona in a shootout in Spain, and she fucked up his pretty little sports car in Italy.

(They were on vacation at the time and Jeremy’s design choices have always been abysmal, and Ryan sent her a card and a bouquet of gourmet lolipops as a personal thank-you.)

Anyway.

Turns out the Battle Buddies also suffered betrayal at the hands of their superiors and went to regroup in Los Santos where Geoff and the others happened to them?

And then there’s Michael who was Gavin’s handler at the agency before he supposedly died on a mission with another hitmens, and oh, hey, look.

It’s Lindsay and apparenty the angecy betrayed them too? But it’s cool because Meg - hitmens/assassin in her own right and someone who came dangerously close to killing Gavin, Michael, and Lindsay on more than one occasion before everyhing got stupid complicared with the agency and its betrayals - came along and scooped them up and introduced them to the lucrative world of crime and doing crime?

At which point everyone looks at Geoff who is just “What the fuck?” at how all these assholes know one another and did Jack know about this?

Because look.

The two of them working for the military way back when and - shocker - betrayed by their superiors and then the wonderful, wacky word of crime and it’s honestly gotten ridiculous at this point?

But Meg - who’s in town for a bit to visit Lindsay and Michael and has been eyeing Gavin up becuase it’s been a while since that night in that Paris where they had that knife fight on the roof of a fancy hotel which was the sexy/dangerous kind of fun and such - is like.

“So are you guys finally going to get revenge for shit or what?”

And then a lot of government agencies - sekrit, shady, ones - learn what it means to be very fucking sorry about their past actions and idk, just everyone being more or less in the same boat cracks me up?

(Especially with Geoff being like how the hell did this happen because really, you know, really).

As does the thought of Gavin and Fiona feigning idiocy (well, stupidity, really) and secretly being >:DDDDDDDDDDDD about it???

What I’ve Been Watching

Hello everyone! If you read my comeback post, you know that I promised a round-up of  the movies I’ve seen so far in 2020. This post has taken WAYYYY too long for me to get around to writing, but now I’m self-isolating and have plenty of time on my hands, so hopefully I should be writing more! So let’s get into it. Before I talk about films from this year, I’ve got to sneak in my thoughts about my absolute FAVORITE film of 2019…

Knives Out – 5/5

I cannot tell you how much I love this movie. I’ve seen it three times in the theater since it came out! I knew that I wanted to see it the moment that I saw the trailer, and I had heard good things about it, but I was worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hype. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. Everything about this movie is just so. Damn. Good. The characters, the storytelling, the aesthetic setting and costume design… perfection, perfection, perfection. The cast, of course, is incredible. This movie is just so much FUN, and I’m obsessed. If you haven’t seen it already, GO SEE KNIVES OUT GODDAMMIT!!!

Now for 2020…

Richard Jewell – 4/5

I went back and forth on whether to give this a 3.5 or a 4, because its been a minute since I watched it, and honestly, I had kind of forgotten about it. Upon reflection, I’ve decided that is because of how many really good films I’ve seen so far this year, not because Richard Jewell is a forgettable movie. I really enjoyed it at the time… it has just gotten overshadowed by things I’ve watched since. The performances are great; Paul Walter Hauser was not someone I was super familiar with before this film, but he seriously impressed me as the titular character. It is just a very solid film about an important story that I really should have known more about since it happened in my home state.🤷‍♀️

Just Mercy – 4/5

Oh boy, bring some tissues for this one. What can I say, this is just a really good movie: its a well-told story of a real-life issue, its hard-hitting and tear-jerking af, the performances are great (Michael B Jordan, man🙌🏻), its just super solid all around. If you don’t cry your eyes out watching this, then sorry, you have no heart.

1917 – 4.5/5

Whoa. Okay, this is an absolute must-see. Holy shit, this movie is something else. As you have probably heard, this movie is shot and edited in a way that makes it look like it was one long take. Not only is this seriously impressive, but it is also effective as hell. There is never a break from the intensity of the film, and you will be on the edge of your seat every second (I’ve seen it twice, and I was completely on edge the entire time even during the second watch.) That’s not the only thing that makes ‘1917’ super impactful, though. The actors are fantastic… I was really impressed by George MacKay. This movie really doesn’t hold back; it is an honest, horrific, emotional depiction of war, and wow, it really isn’t like any war movie I’ve ever seen before.

Like A Boss – 3/5

Okay, time for a drastic change of tone from the last few movies! Not gonna lie, I went into this movie with basically no expectations, as I had heard nothing good about it. But you know, I liked it better than I thought I would. It was funnier than I expected, though not all the jokes hit, and it was overall incredibly silly. But it’s also a fairly sweet story about female friendship. I went to see it with one of my own female friends, we had the theater to ourselves, we laughed at all the stupid parts and we had a good time. So yeah, I didn’t hate it.😅

Dolittle – 3/5

This movie was… weird. Not necessarily a bad weird, but like, really, really bizarre. It’s hard to explain exactly why without giving plot points as examples, but I’ll tell you that there were numerous times throughout the movie where I turned to my sister and said “what the fuck??” I think that there were some drugs involved in the making of this film. On the plus side, I kinda enjoyed it. There were some parts that were genuinely funny, and overall it was something fun to watch with my younger siblings. My 12-year-old brother loved it, and that’s the real test, isn’t it?

The Gentlemen – 4.5/5

Ok, this movie was fucking GOOD. Not gonna lie, when I first saw the poster and trailer for this film, my first thoughts were, god, do we really need another cool-guy crime comedy with an almost entirely white male cast? The answer is no, no we don’t. But damn, if this isn’t a great movie anyway. It surpassed my expectations in every way… I loved it. The humor is not going to be for everyone; it is very British and often extremely crude, but I fucking cried laughing, it was hilarious. The laughs alone were enough for me to like this movie, but there is more to it than that. The plot is engaging, and although I’ve heard some people complain it was slow or too hard to follow, I liked it and enjoyed the story-telling elements. I also found myself caring way more about the characters than I thought I would. Oh, and there are some gorgeous cinematic elements to it as well. Overall, great movie. I guess I need to go and educate myself on some other Guy Ritchie films.

Birds of Prey – 4/5

So, I’ve given this a 4, but this is another one that I debated giving a 3.5. I had wanted to see it again before I reviewed, but the coronavirus screwed that plan up. I decided to round up, however, because my overall feeling about this movie is that I enjoyed it. It isn’t perfect… There were some odd plot decisions, and some so-so action, but you know, I liked it. It’s just FUN. The characters are all bad-ass, the music is on point, it’s funny, it’s colorful, it’s just really enjoyable. The cast are all great, and I thought Ewan McGregor made a great villain. Also, in amongst the mediocre action there were some really great scenes (small spoiler: I’m obsessed with Harley breaking people’s legs.) Like I said, I feel like I need to watch it again to really decide how I feel about it, but overall it’s a thumbs up from me.

The Photograph – 3/5

Huh, this movie was an odd one. I really wanted to like it, and I mean, I didn’t dislike it, but I just wasn’t feeling it, you know? I confess, romance is not really my genre (I like a good rom com, but just straight up romance? Meh), but I just found myself completely uninterested in the main couple. If you haven’t seen this movie, the plot is split between the relationship between Michael and Mae (LaKeith Stanfield and Issa Rae), and flashbacks to the 80s that focus on the relationship between Mae’s mother, Christina (Chante Adams,) and a man named Isaac (Y’lan Noel.) When it came to Michael and Mae, I just did not care at all whether or not they ended up together. I didn’t give a shit about their relationship throughout the entire movie. I liked their characters individually, but together I just wasn’t feeling the chemistry. Now, with the other couple, Sara and Isaac, I actually cared a lot more. I looked forward to the parts that would focus on them, and was annoyed when the film would jump forward to the present day again. I dunno, I mean, I didn’t hate it. It was funny in places and moving (to an extent) in others. The storyline outside of the romance was alright. I just didn’t love it.

Parasite – 4.5/5

Ok, usually I only do reviews for films I see in the theater, but I had to make an exception for this… I had some friends came over and we watched it from my couch, but only because nowhere nearby was showing it. If you haven’t heard of Parasite, you’ve probably been living under a rock. After it scooped up 4 Oscars, everyone was talking about it, and rightly so. Honestly I’m not gonna give it a proper review, because you just. Need. To. Watch. It. Basically, the first half is genuinely really funny, and then it slowly gets darker and darker, and holy fuck, I did NOT see that ending coming. The story, the acting, the symbolism, the cinematography, the setting… All fucking amazing. Watch Parasite, people. Just do it.

Best of DC: Week of April 24th, 2019

Best of this Week: Freedom Fighters #5 - Robert Venditti, Eddy Barrows, Eber Ferreira, Adriano Lucas and Andworld Design

Let. Freedom. Bloody. RING!

Freedom Fighters has been absolutely spectacular since it began and after Uncle Sam’s awesome resurrection in the last issue, he’s ready to take the fight to the Reich. Uncle Sam wastes no time in giving a beating to the rat faced bastards that have taken a stranglehold over America; punching, kicking and lamp posting through the streets of Philadelphia, inspiring hope in the people and fear in Adolf Hitler II. As soon as reinforcements arrive, he rolls up his sleeves and prepares to give a rousing speech meanwhile punk ass Adolf is in a rage and declares that he must go to “The Bunker.”

The next few pages are a goddamn lesson in what patriotism truly means. As Uncle Sam lifts what I now dub “The Lamp Post of Patriotism” he launches into an inner monologue about the “Spirit of ‘76.” When the Minutemen began to ride, the spirit was conceived, but when pen was put to paper - Uncle Sam was born and fought for freedom ever since. He fought in the Revolutionary War and helped us win the land we call our own today.

Thankfully, he admitted that we got a lot wrong as a country. He challenged the notion that the Spirit only belonged to ONE certain group of people and decried slavery, displacement of Native Americans and suppressing the rights of women. He supported all manner of freedom everywhere and I WAS EXCITED. At least, I was until the hard hand of Overman was thrust down onto the troops fighting the Nazis in the WWII flashback.

Overman, Earth X’s version of Superman if he were raised by The Nazis, was just about the only thing that could rip the hope from the hearts of the people. This began the original weakening of Uncle Sam and now that he’s just now getting used to being back in the land of the free, he’s weak. It was up to the new Freedom Fighters to rescue him from a Nazi War Wheel, but at the same time Adolf was gearing up to retaliate against the resurrection of Uncle Sam with a weapon of his own.

This book was simply epic, not only because of Venditti’s excellent story writing, but also because of the amazing story that Barrows, Ferreira and Lucas tell through their wonderful art, inking and coloring. Standing out amongst the dark inks are the dynamic poses and bright colors of Uncle Sam’s red white and blue. In this dreary world, those are the only colors that matter and most scenes in the book utilize a red and blue hue when hope is high, but reverts back to the washed out greys and muted colors when hope is waning.

Uncle Sam himself is awesome as hell to look at. He is a tall, lanky thing, but he fights with the fury of 1000 free men. All of his attacks carry a heavy weight with them and he is nothing if not expressive himself. Everything feels large and cinematic, helping to make the book feel like it’s building up to something amazing, especially in its final pages.

If you’re looking for a great book that will get you unreasonably pumped and ready to sing Star Spangled Banner at the top of your lungs, then Freedom Fighters #5 is for you, high recommend!

---------------------------------------------------

It’s taken a while, but I feel like Bendis has found his stride.

Runner Up: Action Comics #1010 - Brian Michael Bendis, Steve Epting, Brad Anderson and Josh Reed

When it was revealed that Brian Michael Bendis would be the guy that expanded upon Leviathan in the ages of Action Comics, I was a bit skeptical at first. Could he really tackled this obscure Secret Organization that relied on subterfuge and have them be a really good threat, but then I remembered that this is exactly the kind of thing that Bendis specializes in. Bendis was originally a crime novelist/comic writer and that’s definitely the reason Leviathan Rising has struck me so hard.

It’s good fun and reminds me of the days of watching Superman the Animated Series where Superman would regularly tangle with Intergang, utilizing his reporter persona to get scoops and uncover their plots and I absolutely loved that.

Not only is it fun, but the stakes are high. Leviathan has taken down most of the other BIG organizations in the DC Universe. From Kobra, to ARGUS, to the DEO - Leviathan are proving to be a grave threat and are all about tying up loose ends, which is why we’re assumed to have seen the end of DEO Director Bones at the hands of a disguised Talia al Ghul in the beginning of the book. Hell, Amanda Waller is RUNNING from them and is currently stuck in Superman’s Fortress of Solitude in the Bermuda Triangle.

Aside from the kick ass plot, the relationship and interactions between Lois and Clark, disguised as Chaz and Andi, a lovely engaged couple trying to infiltrate Spyral and find out what they can about Leviathan. They’re so adorable from Lois’ spunky attitude and making fun of Clark’s bad acting and Clarks seriousness about the mission and pitiful attempts at acting.

It does take a bit to make me chuckle and I mean really chuckle at most comics, but this book feels like such a throwback and had writing so good that I have to give it credit. I cannot wait for future issues of this and the Leviathan even from Bendis later this year. He’s done so well with making them credible, even more than The Silencer has, and I am actually afraid of Talia al Ghul. High recommend!

Monday round-up

At CNN, Ariane de Vogue reports that as the justices take the bench this morning for what is likely the last Monday of the term, “[s]ix opinions remain, including on the travel ban, public sector unions and redistricting, and one looming question that could change the future direction of the court: Will there be a retirement?” Steven Mazie takes a quick look at the remaining cases for The Economist’s Espresso blog. Additional coverage of the final lap of the term comes from Lawrence Hurley and Andrew Chung at Reuters.

OnFriday the Supreme Court decided four cases, including a closely watched Fourth Amendment case, Carpenter v. United States, in which the justices held 5-4 that the government ordinarily needs a warrant to access historical cell-site location information. At Good Judgment, Ryan Adler assesses the crowd’s forecast in the case. At NPR, Nina Totenberg reports that “until now, the prevailing legal theory was that if an individual voluntarily shares his information with a third party — for instance, by signing up for cellphone service — police can get that information without a search warrant,” but that “[o]n Friday, the Supreme Court blew a hole in that theory.” Additional coverage comes from Louise Matsakis at Wired and from Lyle Denniston at Constitution Daily, who reports that “[e]ven as it insisted it was acting narrowly, and spoke of some limits on the reach of the ruling, the Court definitely gave a modern cast to the Fourth Amendment, now 227 years old.” Commentary and analysis come from Curt Levey in an op-ed for Fox News, Krebs on Security, Jon Schuppe at NBC News, Erica Goldberg at PrawfsBlawg, and Garrett Epps at The Atlantic.

The justices also held 5-4 on Friday in Currier v. Virginia that a defendant who consents to sequential trials for multiple, overlapping offenses waives his right to make an issue-preclusion claim under the Constitution’s double jeopardy clause after an acquittal in the first trial. Lissa Griffin analyzes the opinion for this blog, and Subscript Law has a graphic explainer. At Constitution Daily, Scott Bomboy reports that the case involved “the legal idea that a defendant can’t be tried for the same issue in more than one criminal trial.” Kent Scheidegger discusses the ruling at Crime and Consequences.

In Ortiz v. United States, the justices held 7-2 that a judge’s simultaneous service on two military courts does not violate the dual-officeholder ban. This blog’s opinion analysis comes from Amy Howe and was first published at Howe on the Court. At PrawfsBlawg, Howard Wasserman notes that “[t]he dispute leaves open whether SCOTUS could review decisions by modern administrative agencies (something Congress has never purported to do).”

Friday’s final opinion was in WesternGeco LLC v. ION Geophysical Corp., in which the justices ruled 7-2 that damages for overseas infringement of a domestic patent include lost profits for overseas contracts the patentholder would have obtained if the infringement had not occurred. Ronald Mann analyzes the opinion for this blog. Subscript Law’s graphic explainer is here. At PrawfsBlawg, Cassandra Robertson calls the decision “an interesting departure from its recent trend toward limiting litigation with foreign dimensions.”

At Governing, Liz Farmer reports that South Dakota v. Wayfair, in which the justices voted last week to overrule two prior cases that prohibited states from requiring out-of-state retailers who don’t have a store or warehouse in the state to collect tax on sales to state residents, “is one of the most significant state and local finance rulings in the modern era and comes at a time when sales tax revenues have been steadily shrinking thanks in part to more purchases being made online.” Law360 (subscription required) offers comprehensive coverage of the decision. For The Wall Street Journal, Jess Bravin reports that the decision “culminated a yearslong campaign by state governments and big-box stores determined to close a loophole they argued was draining state treasuries and disadvantaging brick-and-mortar shops,” “underscor[ing] that Supreme Court cases don’t always arise by happenstance.” At The Economist’s Democracy in America blog, Steven Mazie remarks that in Chief Justice John Roberts’ dissent, “[t]he point of contention was not whether the 50-year-old physical presence rule was the right one, constitutionally—all nine justices seem to agree it wasn’t—but whether the court in 2018 should overrule a decision that has been standing since 1967.” Commentary comes from Will Baude at PrawfsBlawg, who wonders what the debate between the majority and the dissent about the principles governing the application of stare decisis in the case “implies about other judge-made doctrines that might hit the Court’s docket in the future.”  [Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is among the counsel to the petitioner in this case.]

At Slate, Mark Joseph Stern suggests that Justice Elena Kagan’s majority opinion in Lucia v. Securities and Exchange Commission, in which the court held last week that SEC administrative law judges are “officers of the United States” within the meaning of the appointments clause, who have to be appointed by the president, a court or a department head, is an example of the justice’s “wrestling the court’s far-right justices to a draw in order to forestall disaster.” Commentary comes from Arthur Sapper at Ogletree Deakins, Coates Lear at The National Law Review, and Carlton Smith at Procedurally Taxing. Counting to 5 (podcast) looks at the decisions in Lucia and Wayfair.

For this blog, Jennifer Chacon analyzes last week’s decision in Pereira v. Sessions, in which the court held that a notice ordering a noncitizen to appear for deportation proceedings without specifying a time or place does not stop the clock on the noncitizen’s accrual of continuous presence in the U.S. Subscript has a graphic explainer for the decision. At PrawfsBlawg, Chris Walker looks at Justice Anthony Kennedy’s “solo concurrence, in which he added his voice to the judicial chorus for reconsidering Chevron deference.” [Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is among the counsel on an amicus brief in support of the petitioner in this case.]

At The George Washington Law Review’s On the Docket blog, Alan Morrison finds “more good news than bad in [last] week’s redistricting decisions”  in two partisan-gerrymandering cases, Gill v. Whitford and Benisek v. Lamone, both of which the justices sent back to the lower courts without reaching the merits, “even though they are a temporary setback in ending the practice.” Additional commentary comes from Kenneth Jost at Jost on Justice. Counting to 5 (podcast) features a discussion of the case.

At The National Law Review, Kim Rinehart and others discuss Lozman v. City of Riviera Beach, in which the justices revived a First Amendment retaliatory-arrest claim and “remanded his case for consideration of whether retaliation was in fact a but-for cause of [Lozman’s] arrest and whether the arrest constituted an official act on the part of the City.” At The Scoop News, Francesco Abbruzzino hopes the ruling “will be an eye opener for the local government institutions, when it comes to conducting meetings.” At First Mondays (podcast), Dan Epps and Ian Samuel interview “two-time Supreme Court winner Fane Lozman” – “the man, the myth, the legend.”

Briefly:

At Cleveland.com, Sabrina Eaton reports that “[d]ays after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Ohio’s process for removing inactive voters from its rolls [in Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute], U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown on Wednesday introduced a bill that would make that process illegal.”

The Heritage Foundation’s SCOTUS 101 podcast features discussions of “the decisions in Carpenter, Lucia, and Wayfair and whether Justice Kennedy is dropping hints that he won’t retire,” as well as a “chat with the newest addition to the D.C. Circuit, Judge Greg Katsas.”

At Ogletree Deakins, Matthew Wholey and Hanna Raanen look at China Agritech v. Resh, in which the court held that the rule suspending the statute of limitations for individual claims filed after a failed class action does not apply to subsequent class actions. [Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is among the counsel on an amicus brief in support of the respondents in this case.]

At News, Joel Dodge argues that the court’s decision in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, in which the court held that, because it did not exhibit religious neutrality, the commission violated the free-exercise rights of a baker who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, “could actually make it harderfor President Donald Trump’s administration to carry out its assault on access to contraception.”

At the Election Law Blog, Rick Hasen suggests that Abbott v. Perez, two complex redistricting cases from Texas, “could well … end[] not with a major decision, but with a punt (as in Benisek) on the standards for issuing injunctions.”

At The George Washington Law Review’s On the Docket blog, Naomi Cahn looks at Sveen v. Melin, in which the court that retroactive application of a state law providing that divorce automatically nullifies the designation of a former spouse as a life-insurance beneficiary does not violate the Constitution’s contracts clause.

Commentary on WesternGeco LLC v. ION Geophysical Corp., in which the justices ruled last week that damages for overseas infringement of a domestic patent include lost profits for overseas contracts the patentholder would have obtained if the infringement had not occurred. comes from Michael Renaud at The National Law Review.

At Slate, Steve Vladeck writes that the Supreme Court has been asked to review a decision by “the 5thS. Circuit Court of Appeals (the federal appeals court with jurisdiction over Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas) [holding] that, even if a CBP agent at the U.S.-Mexico border commits what one judge described as a ‘cold-blooded murder,’ the victim’s family cannot sue him for damages.”

We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up.  If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast, or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com.

Liquid Lipstick Lovers, Rejoice: ASOS Is Having A Huge Beauty Sale

Buying new makeup is the embodiment of treating yourself — but nobody desires to have heart palpitations after they see their Sephora invoice. That’s why a killer beauty sale is fundamental to ensuring you are feeling properly about the matters that help you experiment along with your look.

While it is surely viable to attain splendid splendor unearths at the pharmacy for the fraction of the price of higher-stop luxury brands, CVS isn’t the only vicinity to head for finances-friendly beauty. While ASOS, which is based totally in London, can be first-rate known for affordable, fun style, it additionally has a beauty phase that is not mentioned almost as a whole lot because it needs to be. The website capabilities products from groups like Lime Crime, Beauty Bakerie, and Eyeko, in addition to Korean splendor merchandise and drugstore makeup like Rimmel London. The first-class information? Today, all splendor products are as much as 30% off…Which means that you can purchase around 3 times extra than you commonly could. (Or, when you have greater self-discipline than I do, in reality, shave off your splendor bill a bit. Not terrible, proper?) While you could use this sale to shop for every single color of liquid lipstick which you’ve been yearning (now not an awful selection for those looking to break out of a purple lipstick rut simply in time for summer) you can also use it to shop a few coins on modern K-beauty products. I’m specifically intrigued by Kocostar’s line of masks sheets which are literally formed like lemons — perfect for putting right under tired eyes that want a further boost. (They presently run for $5.20 on-line.) You also can save foremost moolah on Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix X-treme Pads, at the start $24 and now most effective $sixteen.Eighty. Really, you can not move incorrect with this sale — so head over to ASOS and spot what is worth scooping up on the bargain.

What is a Bill of Sale – Contents, Types, and Difference From Invoice

  When you purchase goods from a store, the seller is given a written acknowledgment of the goods purchased- this is called the bill of sale. Typically, it contains the date of purchase, location, a number of goods purchased, total payable amount, description of goods, and the name of the purchaser. Sometimes when you need to replace any particular item, you need to show the bill to the seller as it proves that the item was bought from his store. They help in minimizing frauds and malpractices. Instead of printing forms, one can download free bill of sale forms and after customizing it as per requirements, use it for daily dealings.

Types –

1. Absolute- It means that the transfer of tangible or non-tangible goods is complete, no payments are due. With complete payment, the transaction closes. It is “conditional for the sale” of movable and not- movable goods. 2. Conditional- Mainly used in property matters, the seller demands collateral from the purchaser till the time complete payment is done. Nonpayment of overdue amount gives power to the seller to claim full ownership of the collateral.

Difference From Invoice-

Invoice forms and bill of sale forms have a little difference. Bills are used for everyday cash transactions between seller and purchaser. There is no debt or credit factor. Whereas an invoice acknowledges the purchase of goods but the payment is not done immediately but after some time. Invoices are basically used by companies, small businesses, wholesalers, and others. Also, an invoice contains more detailed information about the purchased items as compared to a simple bill. One can get free invoice forms from the internet for business uses.

If there are any fraudulent practices involved, the bill of sale can function as a legal financial instrument and act as a proof to settle claims. Therefore, it is necessary to preserve these documents for future benefits.

  Penis Health Sex Tips for Busy Lovers

  Text the boss. Answer emails. Pick up the kids. Buy groceries. Pay bills. People today are busier than they’ve ever been – arguably, too busy. Certainly, when couples find themselves too busy for sex, something has to give. Assuming a guy has maintained proper penis care and the issue is availability rather than ability, men (and their partners) may find these tips valuable as a way of helping busy lovers make time for sex – and by extension, better penis health.

Start the day right

Most guys assume this means getting in a quick one before work – and, hey, there’s nothing wrong with that. But most busy couples feel a little too time-pressed for that. Instead, couples need to make some time just to be together. An ideal way is to set the alarm for, say, five minutes earlier than usual. When the alarm goes off, just wrap arms around each other and cuddle up for a few minutes. A little nuzzling and kissing are good, but it’s more about just being together.

Get clean together

After a few days of cuddling in the mornings set the alarm 10 minutes earlier every so often and take a shower together as well. Again, this doesn’t have to include actual sex – although it’s fine if it does. But it’s more about being naked together, running hands along each other’s bodies. Sure, it may mean that someone – especially the guy – may get aroused and feel a little frustrated if there’s no time to act on that arousal. But it may also make a couple more committed to setting aside time when they can fulfill each other.

Keep it up during the day

Even if there’s been no time to plan for sex, keep reminding the partner of how much they matter. Playful (or suggestive) little texts, an email with a link to something that interests them, a quick phone call – all this can help keep both parties feeling connected and anxious to share themselves more fully.

Schedule it

Sure, making an appointment for sex seems not-so-sexy. But not having sex at all is the ultimate not-so-sexy. The most basic of tips for busy people is to make an unbreakable date and time and keep to it. It may mean getting the kids out of the house, skipping the gym, letting the boys have their night out on their own, turning the cell phone off – some kind of sacrifice needs to be made. But it is worth it.

Enjoy it

This may seem unnecessary, but a surprising number of busy lovers put so much pressure on actually getting to have sex that they don’t enjoy it when they do. Make the evening relaxed and fun. Don’t worry about whether there will be an orgasm – or even necessarily if there will be penetration.
