Jan Fischer: Europe's 1st Jewish president?

PRAGUE -- If the pundits are correct, the Czech Republic may become the first European country to elect a Jewish president.
Jan Fischer, 62, an understated former prime minister who led a caretaker government following a coalition collapse in 2009, is neck and neck in the polls with another former government head as the nation holds its first round of presidential elections on Friday and Saturday.
The two front-runners advance to a runoff, and political prognosticators are predicting that Fischer will reach the second round. If elected,
"He's like our Joe Lieberman," said Tomas Kraus, chairman of the Czech Federation of Jewish Communities, referring to the failed US vice presidential candidate. "Whether or not you support him, you can't help but be proud he has come this far."

Technically speaking, Europe has had a Jewish president: Ruth Dreifuss, who was president of the Swiss Confederation in 1999. But the Swiss presidency is a one-year rotating post, not a popularly elected position, and the president doesn't really have broader powers than the other members of the Swiss Federal Council.
Europe has had other Jewish heads of government, aside from Fischer: Leon Blum, who was prime minister of France in the 1930s and '40s, and Austria's Bruno Kreisky, who served as prime minister from 1970 to 1983. Britain's Benjamin Disraeli came from Jewish stock, but his family converted out of the faith before he was born.
Fischer, whose career highlights include running the Czech Statistical Office and serving as vice president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, slipped from first to second in the polls following a lackluster performance last week in a televised debate.
His ascent from skilled technocrat to high-echelon politics -- and possibly to Prague Castle -- sheds light on the region's nuanced relationship with Judaism and Israel.
Running on a platform promoting economic growth and political transparency, Fischer also is known for his pride in what he calls the Czech Republic's "very friendly relations with Israel." He noted that the Czech Republic was consistently one of Europe's most ardent supporters of Israel in times of crisis, a tradition dating back to the 1920s when the first Czechoslovak president, Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, endorsed the creation of the Jewish state.
More recently, the Czech Republic was among only a handful of countries in the world to vote against upgrading the Palestinians' status at the United Nations.
Fischer thus finds it unnecessary to bluster in the same way as his chief presidential rival, Milos Zeman, who has declared his support for a preemptive strike against Iran.
"I have no need to demonstrate my friendly attitude towards Israel because everyone is familiar with it, so I don't need to say something very strong," he told JTA in a wide-ranging interview, adding that he is well aware that "Iran is the dark force in the region."
Fischer's professions of devotion to Israel weren't always so robust. Before the Communist regime collapsed in 1989, it was dangerous for anyone -- especially a government employee -- to sympathize with Israel because the authorities toed the Soviet anti-Zionist line.
His upbringing is a case study of post-World War II Jewish life in Central Europe. His father survived Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps, and his mother was Catholic. He celebrated Czech Christmas and attended synagogue.
"My father brought me to the synagogue for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah and Purim," Fischer recalled. "During Pesach we didn't organize a seder, but we did have matzah. Father was a member of the Jewish community until the end of the 1950s."
That changed once Czechoslovak Communist leaders became more virulently anti-religious; Judaism was no longer high on his family's list of priorities.
It changed again -- as it did for many of Fischer's generation -- when his son began to discover his Jewish roots. Also named Jan, Fischer's son was born in 1989, the same year the Velvet Revolution swept communism from the country.
"He was very interested in the story of the Holocaust and he liked to talk about my father despite [the fact] that he died in 1975," Fischer said. "Through his discoveries he developed a strong bond with Judaism, and he brought me back."
Fischer credited the Lauder Jewish School, which his son attended, for educating the whole family.
Fischer's father, also a Prague statistician, was forced to collect numerical data on Jewish families for the Nazis.
"When he arrived in Auschwitz he didn't expect to live, but Mengele found out he was a mathematician and thought he could be of use," Fischer said.
Although some may not deem Fischer as Jewish by halachah, or Jewish law, he invokes the Holocaust experience as a defining characteristic of those who view themselves as Jews.
"It is a common tragedy," he said, "and based on it I feel part of this community."
Even in the relatively liberal-minded Czech Republic, however, being Jewish can be a political disadvantage. When Fischer took over as prime minister, a smattering of comments on blogs referred negatively to his Jewish origins. There were hints, too, that Fischer was part of a secret brotherhood, as one of his advisers also was Jewish.
But Czechs mostly were just curious about their new leader's religious background. His ethnicity again became a focus of public fixation when when his predecessor, thinking he was off the record during a taped magazine interview, slurred a gay minister and Fischer, linking a penchant for compromise to his Jewishness.
During his tenure as prime minister, Fischer was admired for aggressively pursuing extremist groups that were terrorizing the country's largest minority, the Roma. As a result of these activities, and partly on account of his religion, Fischer's son was put under police protection.
Still, asked about anti-Semitism in the Czech Republic, he responds, "This country has so many political problems, but anti-Semitism is not one of them."
Although Fischer's influence as president would be limited in a parliamentary democracy and his powers largely ceremonial, the head of state does occasionally remark on foreign policy issues. And that is where Israel comes up again in conversation.
Fischer is bluntly critical of the European Union's sometimes muddy statements with regard to Israel. Asked if he agreed with the EU's repeated condemnation of Israeli settlements, he said, "The voice of the European Union is sometimes strong [on this topic]. It is not the opinion of every country. The reality is that the EU hasn't got any foreign policy. I don't think the settlements are the greatest issue in the region. Iran is the greatest issue."
If there is a shadow hanging over Fischer in the eyes of Czech voters, it is not his religion but his former membership in the Communist Party. Fischer says he joined under pressure to keep his job as a public employee and has publicly apologized for the decision.
"I gave in and it is nothing I am proud of," he said.
Compared to his two larger-than-life predecessors -- human rights luminary Vaclav Havel and Euroskeptic Vaclav Klaus -- Fischer is distinguished largely by the fact that he is so reserved. Critics have noted his lack of charisma.
Jiri Pehe, a former adviser to Havel and now a well-known political commentator, doesn't think that's such a bad thing. Fischer, he says, appeals to the average citizen.
"Czechs are fed up with a presidency where a president has to be highly visible and interfere with party politics, and make speeches on issues like global warming," Pehe said. "Maybe they want someone ordinary, someone to act as the chief notary, putting a seal on international documents."
Rabbi Manes Barash, who runs a Chabad synagogue in Prague where Fischer occasionally prays, takes the charisma issue a step further.
"A lot of people who are crooks have charisma," Barash joked. "Maybe it's a good thing he doesn't have charisma."
On a more serious note, Barash says Fischer might be good for the country, which is among the most atheistic in the world, according to surveys.
"That he is a believer is something very special for the Czech Republic," Barash said. "Such a secular society, it is missing here."

Great way to partner fresh summer veggies. Quick prep time and no fuss finish. Healthy side dish.
I think 2T of oil is a bit much - the dish was oily even after letting it saute a bit longer than I normally would. That being said, I thought it was DELICIOUS and would love to try it with cubes of mozzarella in it (like a bruschetta). Perfect summer grilled meal companion!
Very tasty and so easy to make!
Delicious! I have an abundance of yellow squash and basil in my garden and so I thought I would try this. I absolutely loved this but my kids wouldn't touch it. My husband doesn't care for squash so I got to devour this by myself. In more than one sitting of course. It tastes just as good heated up the next day! Thank you for sharing!
I have made this recipe and will be making it tonight. My husband and son like it and asked for it again and they are not veggie lovers.

Anyone planning a camping trip or other activity on the public lands of Arizona should leave a campfire out of their plans. The same goes for smoking. Fire managers increased restrictions Wednesday so that any open flame, other than gas stoves and lanterns, is prohibited. The dry conditions have made wildfire concerns too great to allow campfires right now.
But restrictions can vary from local to state to federal lands. Check http://wildlandfire.az.gov or call the toll-free Southwest Fire Restrictions Hotline at 1-877-864-6985 to see what the rules and penalties are where you plan to go.

Theatretrain students to perform at Disneyland Paris
9:00am Sunday 9th February 2014 in News By Emma Robinson, Reporter
A group of budding young Maldon stars have been invited to perform at Disneyland Paris.
Twelve students from the Maldon Theatretrain performing arts group will join other students from across the UK to perform on stage and in the famous Disney Parade in May.
The dozen were handpicked by Disney scouts after they performed at 02 Arena and danced their hearts out in front of thousands of people last year.
See this week's Standard for the full story.

Heed the warning or pay the price.
Your drive in construction zones will be closely watched starting Monday. The Tulsa Police Department Mingo Valley Traffic Unit will focus on posted speed violations in the Highway 169 and Broken Arrow Expressway Interchange.
"People are not paying attention. Wether there is construction or not they are just not slowing down. They are not yielding the right of way, changing lanes unsafely and there are too many crashes," Tulsa Police Department Traffic Coordinator, Craig Murray said.
According to the Tulsa Police Department, last year, there were 13 deaths in construction zone accidents and more then 780 people injured. Officer Murray said people are getting hurt and getting killed, especially workers in these areas.
Fines for speeding in a construction zone can range from $150 to $500 and there will be no warnings given.
"Part of public safety is if someone needs to get a ticket they are going to get it. It means slow down, wear your seat belt, and pay attention," Officer Murray said.
This enforcement runs Monday, July 22 through Wednesday, July 31.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

12 oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. pours a drab amber color with three fingers of light orange head that has decent retention and leaves no lacings.
aroma is lightly spiced with a sweet character and an overall dryness that feeds off of the spiced notes. there is an herbal quality to the brew that is closely related to the spice as well. as far as pine or spruce notes go, there are none in the aroma.
taste is lightly sweet and malty up front with the same spiced character that imparts a mild bite to the overall profile. finishes on an herbal note of residual dry malts. the malts are light, with a touch of caramel, and the herbal and spiced quality are unique to this brew.
mouthfeel is medium bodied and mildly smooth with a finish that leaves herbal notes lingering on the palate.
drinkability is decent. there is nothing about this brew that would make it very drinkable, simply because the flavors seem to work against one another. the spiced and herbal notes are working towards one flavor profile, while the sweet malts in the background do well to work against that. could be better, but it is still drinkable for 7.5% APV.

This brew poured a dark amber color with an inch of cream head. A good whiff reveals a lot of fresh fruitiness: heavy on the strawberry and light on banana. It tasted of caramel malt and was lightly grassy. It has a light mouthfeel and washes down easy, with the malt flavor clinging to the tongue in a tingly, sparkling sensation on the tongue. I found it refreshing; the caramel is sweet without being overbearing or heavy.

Poured into a Duvel tulip.
A: Good looking red-amber with a decent sized tan head from a pretty aggressive pour. Collar last a while, some lacing.
S: Sprucey pine, candied apple, caramel, tiny bit of alcohol comes with warmth.
T: Exceedingly good. Well-balanced sweet/bitter interplay with prominent but not overwhelming spruce and pine, candied fruits, caramel, light floral hops, moderate bitterness, a spicy character, and a touch of alcohol, that, while remaining well-hidden, does manage to offer a bit of a drying impression.
M: Medium-full, with a creamy and round character. Carbonation is on the low end of medium.
O: Really tasty stuff. Really, really good. So well-balanced, with all the flavors integrated well and no notes out of place. Very impressed.

I am currently reading about when America was arguing with the British and they were refusing to import British supplies to piss them off. A huge import sacrifice those early Americans had to make was British hops. They hadn't yet been able to grow them successfully, so in order to stick it to the British, they had to come up with their own recipes based on what they could grow. I always imagined that the results must have been terrible but this beer actually changed my perception.
Dark, hazy amber color. Carbonation delivered a very short lived head and dissipated into an exceptionally slight lacing.
Initially, I got more of a caramelized malt smell but a deeper smell took me to a more pine forest type smell. Really interesting. The combination of these things gives off an almost banana nut smell but more medicinal than that.
A very sweet caramel malt. The pine/spruce came as a florally, fresh finish and aftertaste. Finish was a little watery for me. It was a little sweet and medicinal for me but I enjoyed this beer much more than I expected I would. The taste is hard to pin down - you have to try it to appreciate what I am talking about. An enjoyable experience. Man - you know that residual smell when you rub pine needles in our hands, the aftertaste is a little like that - it's been 20 mins since I finished and it is still there.
A light carbonated front end. Medium body but surprisingly smooth. The backend was a little thin for me.
This was a pleasant change from the brews I have been having. It was actually quite drinkable. It ventures too much into the realm of fruitiness for me - not my personal taste. Having said that, I would drink it again and enjoyed the historical taste.
Although making beer without hops probably wasn't as much of a hardship for early Americans as I imagined, there is nothing quite like hops once you have become a hop head.

I've been sitting on this one in the cellar for a bit..."brewed using sprigs of spruce and pine collected in May 1998." Pours from the slim 11.2oz bottle a light brownish, slighty red with tons of floaties in suspension. A small bubbly white head on top....looks like some swamp water in the glass. A very interesting array of vanilla, wood, dark fruits (plum, raisins), bubblegum, bready, earthy yeast and hints of pine sap. There's a bit of crystal sugar sweetness as well. Nice nose.
First sip comes upfront with a fruity, yeasty, bready malt...hints of bubblegum and sweet cotton candy. The light arid fruitiness mixes with the earthy yeast tones well. I get a hint of pine on the way down but it is much more subdued than I expected. An interesting grape kool-aid flavor is in the mix as well. Quite a tasty brew overall with a complex melding of flavors on the palate.
Mouthfeel has a nice medium body with an arid creaminess...soft carbonation goes down nicely. This is an interesting brew that I plan on enjoying again...however one bottle in a sitting is enough...it's a bit too overwhelming for more. I look forward to trying more from Heather Ale as I love the way that they keep these styles alive!!

Thanks babe for my 4 of 4 xmas present.
Pours a translucent carmel with champange burst of co2 upon pour. Nominal sticky head or lacing. Lots of carb through. Poured at about 60F, close to room temperature as requested.
Sweet citrus, maybe orange or grapefruit. There is some sweet fruit smell I cant quite place. Quite unique. ive not had mead, but my guess is the floral sweetness would be like this.
Hmmm, nice light sweet malt. Wow, honey like. No real hop character, but ABV smooth like a Barley Wine. Lighest bittering hops at the end, barely noticable.
Balance is exceptional. The malt is soo smooth yet sweet and hearty. Definitly feels bready in the body.
Since Im a huge Barley Wine/Old Ale guy, this beer sits well with me. Id love to have a couple more.

Appearance - poured a hazy amber color with sediment floating around. Not really any head at all to mention.
Smell - Very fruity smell, mixed berry aromas, maltiness
Taste - Fruity, more berries, citrusy, a good amount of caramel flavors, hop spice, pine, good alcohol detected
Mouthfeel - Richly bodied, not much carbonation, slightly oily
Drinkabilty - I could go for one of these and it would be on to a different beer. Great to have once in a while. Pretty good.

Presentation: 330 ml brown bottle with a little blurb about how the Vikings in their day drank a brew spiced with pine and spruce. Freshness date clearly marked.
Appearance: Slight chill haze in this reddish amber hued brew ... a very inviting off white lace lays on top.
Smell: Herbal and a little piney with a good dose of fruity esters. Faint medicinal aromas also come to the nose.
Taste: Full in body and very smooth with a mildly crisp carbonation, the malt holds its own yet there is a somewhat over powering herbal, earthy and spicy flavour that is a mix from the alcohol and spruce/pine blend. Finish is soft and malt as it slowly fades with hints of pine.
Notes: An excellent strong ale with an inspiring addition of Scots pine and Spruce Sprigs that were collected back in may of 97'. We are sure the Vikings drank large quantities of something similar to this before and after battle.

These historical styles are always an interesting diversion. Served as recommended, in a goblet at room temperature, the Alba pours a clear, copper body with an offwhite head that immediately drops into a slight film. No lacing, which is not unexpected for a style based on what the Vikings introduced into northern Scotland, several centuries before hops came into use.
Aroma is very malty, with caramel and toffee, with a pronounced bouquet of earthy/woodsy spruce and pine. Herbal and berry notes, as well a touch of tanned leather, produce a very unique nose.
Mouthfeel has low carbonation and a definite vinous character like a nice sherry.
Taste is complex, and quite unique. Bitter and earthy spruce pine bitterness is atop what seems to be a smoked caramel malt backbone. Noticeable alcohol, but not so prominent as to distract from all the complexities. Leather, tobacco, and gooseberries complete the flavor profile.
Definitely not an everyday brew, but an excellent slow sipper. Very enjoyable to take your time with, and contemplate the history and evolution of ales as we know them today.

A rare treat to find and enjoy this interesting beer through the cask system at the Blind Tiger in NYC. Pours murky deep brown with a tan minor head and leaving just a trace of lacing. Nose is of musty and earthy malt. The brew is mellow, malty and intriguing. Notes of more malts, peat, and some pine to dry things out. Interesting and differant sessioner. Scottish to the core.

Brought back from Scotland by a friend...
Semi-cloudy, worn copper color with a full finger and a half of solid, eggshell colored head...leaves thick lacing that eventually fades back into the brew.
Very pleasant in the nose...a hefty dose of sweet malt and spice due to the pine.
Taste is very pleasant...not overly sweet as expected from the smell with a nice pine/spruce flavor. A touch of floral hops to dry up the finish...thick mouthfeel with no lingering flavors.
I'd really dig this style more come the colder months...nonetheless, surprisingly good and worth a try if you can handle a different type of brew.

Out of a 11.2 oz bottle. Hazy slightly amber color. Head is made of large bubbles.
The smell is very interesting. Some sweetness from the malts, but there is a clear pine/spruce scent to it.
The taste is incredibly complex. There is a sweet start, but then it fades into almost a berry flavor. The finish is slightly bitter, but not like hops.
It was difficult to pick out some of those tastes and smells. I'm not sure if I even got all of them right. This is a very complex beer and fun to drink.

Appearance: clear, orange/brown in color, 1/3 inch head, medium/high carbonation
Smell: berries, wood, cinnamon, chai spice
Taste: big berry taste--both black and blue, some wood, bread, and cream
Mouthfeel: slightly sweet and fruity, medium bodied, medium-light carbonation
Drinkability: Could have two or three. Not the best in the Old Scottish ales pack, but not bad either. I would still take this over several beers.

Third in my Historic Ales of Scotland pack. Poured into a Chimay chalice. A lovely tawny amber, with just a touch of redness which becomes more brilliant when held to the light. Thin head that shows remarkable staying power as a ring.
The nose is very much not what I had expected. Malt, caramel and fruit notes dominate the nose, while the earthy, spruce elements are just lurking in the background. There's a natural, woodsy character to the brew, but it's not nearly as resiny or piney as I'd expected.
Taste is quite similar to the nose, although the spruce character is a little less timid here. Finishes with an earthy, rich flavour, but it's still under the management of the malt and berry flavours. Perhaps a touch of seaweed or resin as well.
Excellent mouthfeel. Medium carbonation, chewy and balanced. Slightly sticky and creamy to the finish.
Not what I'd expected, but if I could predict what a new beer would taste like before opening it, what would be the point? A balanced, enjoyable brew, probably not ideal for session drinking but great for a sipper.

Painfully awful. This beer smells and looks great. Darker amber with a moderate tan head. Aroma is very nice; piney and clean. But the taste is ass in your mouth bad. Its as if someone put a tree in a blender and hit "Liquify" then mixed with turpentine. Avoid, unless you need to strip the paint off your house.

341 ml served in a chilled glass
Apperance - beer pours a dark amber colour, somewhat clear with a little cloudiness. The head is about 2 fingers, off white with some nice retention. The head is fairly fluffy, yet has some solidness to hit.
Smell - my first smell was sweetness, caramel based. Then some pine and citrus. There is a nice balance of spice as well, very straight fwd smelling beer.
Taste - This is the first beer i taste that has a fruit/pine this well combined. I was unsure if i was tasting pine or fruit, but the balance between them was amazing.
Mouthfeel - Very filling to the palette, this beer offers the same taste as mouthfeel, everything upfront with a slight bitterness near the end.
Drinkability - for a beer with 7.5% i would never guess it, it hides it very well and taste quite good. I am sure 10 of these in a night will make you happy, something id stock!

This is a lovely flavoured drop with just a hint of a Norsca like freshness to it. Out of a bottle after sitting for 10 mins out of the fridge.
Appearance: Nice, nothing noteworthy, low head, and just a brownish appeal. Looks like a beer..
Smell: Nothing there that strikes you as this is a different beer than most other ale's light hint of socks perhaps? Smells like a beer...
taste: Now we are talking! Firstly the beer has a typical ale twang, then this freshness takes over, almost like you licked a norsa bottle, but liked it. Very interesting, not complex, but rather enjoyable! Tastes like a great beer....
Mouthfeel: Tingles, Sweet, enjoyable! feels like a beer....
Drinkability: I'd hesitate to drink this all night, however if it were acoompanied by a nice Highlands stew or hearty type meal, I am sure I could down many more of these in the right setting, but standing alone, 1 is enough.. maybe 2 at a pinch.

Clearish bright amber appearance with a flat but decent head that floats under 1/4 of an inch for a few minutes. Lace is minimal, some small strings of a mostly vertical nature. Estery aroma, clove, some cough syrup, slightly musky. Mouthfeel is very smooth and light, but it seems thicker because of low carbonation, giving a creamy texture. Sweet flavors, slightly metallic and piney early, but quickly giving way to blueberries with a chocolate topping and a unique maltiness that lasts into the aftertaste. As usual, another interesting rendition of a malt beverage from the brewers at Heather.

It's pretty funny that I've had all of the historic ales but have never reviewed any except the Kelpie Seaweed ale. This came as one of four in the gift pack for 9.99 not a bad deal. Totally different beers than your mainstream offerings. Appears a pale ruby copper hue with a bright off white head maybe a light khaki tone, fine sparse lacing scattered on the sides of my chalice. Surprisingly a malt heavy nose with little to no pine aromatics, very fruity bright cherry ripened with some earthiness and a bit of noticeable alcohol. As it warms it begins to unleash more of the pine character in the nose. Flavor wise it starts out super fruity with hints of cherry coated in sugar in a reduction, and finishes bitter with pine/herbal/mint notes. Really balanced compared to most spruce tip/pine beers I've tasted, finishes with a moderate dryness. Little heat from the alcohol but the flavor is there in an almost medicinal nature with the fruity cherry notes. Carbonation is assertive but not overdone and body is definitely medium with a light reduced sugar near syrup texture. Overall a solid beer that I could offer up to somebody new to the beer scene and it would come off both new and interesting for me, this is more or less a mass produced version of something Yard's brewing as made exteme and craft.

Who are the homeless? We come across them on our street corners, outside grocery stores, under bridges and in the parks. Most of us try to avoid an encounter and walk past a bit faster than we had walked before. If we have a thought, it is one of disgust or sympathy, or perhaps we remain absorbed in our own world. What we do not see in such moments is what brought us to meet that person under that bridge, at that street corner, and how much we may have in common.
Fate can be arbitrary. Safely ensconced in a cultural myth where all is possible if we only work at it, we do not see the limits to our selves or what we can do, limits a homeless person is all too familiar with. Nor do we want to see such limits. And perhaps that homeless person we meet does not want to see what it is they can do within their limits, their opportunities. We are different sides of the same myth—one celebrating the possibilities of it, the other exposing its falsity.
In these vignettes and photographs, Bob Levy and Gretchen Heyer bring homeless people to meet us. Veterans, housewives, ex-cons, and businessmen—they reveal themselves—and, in so doing, us to our selves. We carry homelessness inside us, all those darkened corners of our personalities that we refuse to visit. We share in its violence, pathos, heartache and exhilaration. We are free and bound. We are courageous and cowardly. We all walk hand in hand with fate. We are never completely at home on this planet. Everything is on loan.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zyrtec. All opinions are 100% mine.
Allergies can leave you miserable and looking less than your best, but they don't have to. I get seasonal allergies every year and I tackle them with Zyrtec, which makes me feel better. Now Zyrtec is providing a neat infographic and video to help you look better too!
So, you know the symptoms of Allergy Face right? Puffy eyes, red nose, etc? Here is an infographic from Zyrtec with some great materal on allergies and how to beat allergy face. I had no idea that just so many women deal with allergies and think that they can't cover up Allergy Face!
For more beauty tips, check out this great video. There are some excellent tips in this, including some neat concealer tricks that you can try to lessen the look of puffy eyes,
When I have allergies I also do the following to help beat Allergy Face:
(1) I use easy to apply cream cosmetics. Look for soft cream items, not hard pan items. That way you will not be irritated by pushing and pulling of the skin when you apply your makeup. Creams also make the skin look more radiant and moist.
(2) I stick with neutral shades. Remember the less is more tip from the video? I believe that is a tip to live by anytime that you are not looking your best!
(3) I like to play up my lips a bit. Keeping the rest of the face understated but adding a pop of lip color draws attention away from the eyes.
What are your beauty tips for beating Allergy Face? Share them in the comments!

LP Monday Message: Separation of Church and Signs
Posted on Oct 19, 2009
October 19, 2009
Dear Friend of Liberty,
First, I wanted to send a big thank you to the new Monthly Pledgers who signed up for recurring monthly donations online. We added this very convenient feature about a week ago and sent an announcement last Friday. So far, over 20 people have signed up for recurring monthly contributions on our membership and contribution forms.
We have also conducted online polls on the following topics recently:
1. Troop levels in Afghanistan.
2. Reagan, Obama, and non-interventionism.
3. Which example makes Republicans look most hypocritical?
You can view a list of our past polls and see the responses to those polls by clicking on each one here.
Regarding the "Separation of Church and Signs":
In addition to serving as an at-large member of the Libertarian National Committee and as chair of the Libertarian Party of Texas, Pat Dixon is one of our elected Libertarians. As a city council member in Lago Vista, Texas, Mr. Dixon gets to implement Libertarian principles. He reported on an issue that came before his council regarding religious advertising on a sign paid for with taxes. He also used that issue to address the topic of whether Libertarians take votes from Republicans or Democrats. You can read his article about it here.
I hope you'll show your support by donating to the Libertarian Party today.
Wes Benedict
Executive Director
Libertarian National Committee
P.S. If you have not yet become a member of the Libertarian Party and wish to do so, please click here and join the only political party dedicated to free markets and civil liberties. If you need to renew, please click here. If you would like to make a contribution separate from membership, please click here.

The second half has kicked off in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations final, and... well, we haven't seen much action yet thanks to Didier Drogba being on the ground for treatment. The Ivory Coast striker went up for the ball against a couple of Zambia defenders, receiving a tap to the back of his head in the process and then going down in pain shortly thereafter.
It doesn't look like a big deal but the big man stays down for some time and some concerned looks are exchanged on the Elephants bench. Fortunately, he eventually gets back to his feet and get on with things. Within a few minutes, he nearly manages to get on the end of a low cross following good work by Gervinho, but he's crowded out in the Zambia box. That's better from the Ivory Coast, though - it's the first time they've had any real penetration down that side. They're going to need a goal soon, though, or the rest of this match will be very nervy.

Massive Dragon Skull Found Washed up on the Beach
This 40-foot long dragon skull was spotted washed up on the beaches of Dorset's Jurassic Coast in the UK for a promotional stunt to launch the 3rd season of Game of Thrones coming out on Blinkbox. BLINKBOX.
Oh... and did I mention that the dragon skull is real? Well it is. It is the most real dragon skull ever found on the beach by a small child. She is a Dragon Slayer and I drank all the mead.

Many predicted that the UFC Fight Night 27 bantamweight bout between Erik Perez and Takeya Mizugaki was a contender for fight of the night, and those people weren't wrong. The two men battled for the full fifteen minutes, but in the end, it was Mizugaki that picked up the narrow split decision victory. Perez probably won the first, but Mizugaki turned it on in the final two rounds to win his third bout in a row. The loss was Goyito's first in the UFC.
Both men set a blistering pace early, jumping in and other with some heavy punches. Perez landed with a flying knee and was connecting with right hooks. Mizugaki was firing back though. Perez went for a takedown but Mizugaki wouldn't go all the way to his back. Perez showed off some relentless grappling that was frustrating the Japanese fighter. Once they returned to the feet though, Mizugaki got his own big takedown and took the back. Perez escaped, and the grappled against the cage.
As in the first round, both guys got their licks in early. Mizugaki scored with a knee as Perez charged in. Mizugaki was finding a home for his right hand more frequently, while Perez tried a few front kicks and a lot of feints. Goyito looked for a takedown once again, but Mizugaki would only go as far as his knees. A beautiful straight right from Mizugaki lands late, and was probably the hardest shot of the fight to this point.
Mizugaki opened nicely with some counters, but Perez came back with some solid punches. Perez went for the takedown again and the scrambled against the cage for position for a while. Mizugaki used a body lock to drag Perez to the ground. Mizugaki got his back, sunk the hooks, and Perez looked dead to rights in a choke. But he somehow survived. Perez jumped back up and looked for his own takedown yet again, but Mizugaki again fought it off and they held each other for the rest of the fight.

WEATHERFORD, Texas — Two suspected burglars were arrested Sunday morning when a resident held one of them at gunpoint after reportedly finding him asleep in a vehicle near the resident's house.
The men are accused of stealing more than $23,000 in property during an early morning crime spree, the Weatherford Democrat reported.
According to the Parker County Sheriff's Office, Jordan Alan Dorris, 18, of Springtown, was found "asleep" in a silver Nissan Extera SUV parked on the complainant's residence in the 7600 block of Prather Road shortly after 9 a.m.
The complainant removed Dorris from the vehicle and held him at gunpoint until deputies arrived, the sheriff's office reported.
The complainant also reported a 2001 Chevrolet dually pickup missing from the property and five additional vehicles burglarized.
The vehicles had been rummaged through and a large amount of property, including a rifle, were missing from the vehicle, the man told deputies.
Dorris reportedly told deputies that he and a suspect identified as 17-year-old Caleb Andrew Kirkbride took the Nissan SUV for a "joy ride."
The SUV belonged to a juvenile female, who reportedly told deputies that a bracelet and her keys were missing and that the men did not have permission to take the vehicle, according to the sheriff's office.
Dorris also reportedly told deputies that Kirkbride stole the pickup and property while Dorris slept in the Nissan, the sheriff's office reported.
Dorris was then allowed to contact Kirkbride, who reportedly said he would return to the complainant's address.
The complainant's neighbor then arrived on scene and reported that he observed the pickup, driven by an unknown suspect, traveling down J.E. Woody Road, running motorists off the roadway and striking several street signs, according to the sheriff's office.
Deputies stopped the truck and detained Kirkbride.
Stolen property was valued at a total of more than $23,000 and included the pickup and SUV, a Herrington & Richardson 30/30 rifle, a tool box, a pair of boots, a vehicle CD player, a checkbook and $8,000 check, CDs, a pole saw, a chain saw, a propane heater, a brake controller, two credit cards, a flashlight, two pocketknives, various hand tools, two junk lawnmowers and scrap copper. Most of the items were recovered during the initial investigation, the sheriff's office reported.

Half of NH Women Have Experienced Sexual, Physical Assault
Apr 27, 2007
Nearly one in four New Hampshire women has been sexually assaulted and more than three-quarters of sexual assaults (83 percent) occur before a woman is 25. The number of New Hampshire women who have been victims of sexual assault – more than 112,000 – could fill Fenway Park, where the Red Sox play, more than three times, finds a new report from the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence. It concludes that at least one-third of New Hampshire women have been physically assaulted by intimate partners.
New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte said in a statement before a Sexual Assault Awareness Month press conference, "As the recent Violence Against Women Report confirms, sexual assault is an issue that affects many New Hampshire citizens and I am proud to be involved in an effort that has resulted in so many more victims coming forward and seeking support and services."
Women reporting multiple types of abuse also reported poorer physical health. "Women who report having a chronic disease or medical condition were more likely to report sexual and physical violence than women who did not report having a chronic disease or medical condition," Violence Against Women in New Hampshire says. "Health care providers need to learn to screen privately and confidentially," Dr. Katie Little, an emergency room physician at Dartmouth Medical Center, told the Nashua Telegraph.
Violence Against Women in New Hampshire concludes, "The number of women in New Hampshire who have experienced sexual assault and/or physical violence is alarming, and underscores the need to support efforts to prevent these crimes from occurring, to provide support to victims, to hold perpetrators accountable for their abuse, and to raise awareness in our communities of the prevalence and consequences of sexual assault and intimate partner violence."

LeBron James & Kevin Durant 'Striving For Greatness'
November 10th, 2011 by Aaron Hope | 7 comments
Remember that day in late October when Sneaker News showed you LeBron James wearing the Kentucky Wildcats Nike Air Max LeBron VII on an Akron, Ohio court along with Kevin Durant in a pair of his upcoming Zoom KDIVs? Turns out that was just the tail end of a workout that started in the weightroom, continued to the football field and concluded at these guys' home away from home. It sounds grueling, and especially for a LeBron battling a chest cold, you can see the amount of energy it takes to maintain peak form. Click through to see the 'Striving for Greatness' video and let us know how you feel knowing this kind of excellence is usually something we can see on TV this time of year.

News: Soulja Boy Tell Em Inks Apology, "Can I Have A Real N*gga Moment?"
Wednesday, Oct 19, 2011 9:42AM
Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em has apologized to millions of Twitter followers this week after making headlines for a publicized arrest on drugs and weapons possession.
Resorting to Twitter, Soulja Boy apologized for what went down Tuesday (October 18).
"aye can I have a real n*gga moment? my fans was DEEP AS F*CK OUTSIDE THAT JAIL MAN IM SORRY!!! thats love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," he tweeted early Wednesday. (Soulja Boy Tell Em's Twitter)
Reports claim Soulja Boy's camp posted bond for him to get released.
Soulja and his crew, who were said to be "very cordial" and cooperative with police, were taken to the Carroll County jail, where they were booked for possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm in commission of a crime. Soulja has since been released on a $10,000 bond. (Ace Showbiz)
Details surrounding his unexpected arrest hit the Internet Tuesday morning.
Soulja Boy was arrested early this morning for weed possession ... and law enforcement sources tell TMZ cops allegedly found a TON of weed and cash during the arrest. The 21-year-old rapper -- real name DeAndre Cortez Way -- was popped early this morning by Temple Police Department officers in Temple, GA at 3:15 AM. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Soulja was in a car with 4 other men, which was originally pulled over for a traffic violation. (TMZ)
A local police spokesperson confirmed the bust and said weapons were also discovered.
Temple Police spokeswoman officer Dana Rampy said the policeman who made the stop searched the car and found "a substantial amount" of marijuana, cash and handguns in the vehicle. Way and his four travel mates were each charged with marijuana possession, marijuana possession with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and were taken to the Carroll County Jail. "It was a lot of marijuana," Rampy told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, although she could not disclose the exact amount. "All of the individuals were very cooperative," she said. (Access Atlanta)
