A column in The Register claims, amongst much wailing and gnashing of teeth, that implementation of BitTorrent-over-UDP (dubbed uTP) in the new alpha version of uTorrent, one of the official BitTorrent client applications, will end the Internet as we know it and completely congest the network. The title is "Bittorrent declares war on VoIP, gamers."
Considering the fact that BitTorrent, Inc., has, if anything, always gone out of it's way to avoid declaring war on anybody, this seemed to me a little bit odd.
I'll admit that it kind of worried me – TCP has traffic congestion management built into the protocol, UDP does not. When UDP and TCP exist on the same network (for example, when rolling out VoIP on a corporate network), QoS policies are needed to keep UDP from taking up all the bandwidth while TCP meekly throttles back. Jim McQuaid has a Whiteboard series video up about it, and called it "Nice Guys Finish Last."
The reason that UDP is popular is that it's a lightweight protocol that doesn't do much handshaking. It sends the data "that-a-way" and doesn't particularly care if it makes it. That makes it perfect for VoIP, gaming, and other Internet protocols where latency is more important than throughput. TCP, with congestion control and packet confirmation built in, sacrifices latency for accuracy. A dropped packet in a phone conversation isn't much to worry about, but a half-second delay is extremely annoying. On the other hand, a half-second delay in downloading a computer program isn't much to worry about, but a dropped packet means that the program won't run.
So, as a general rule, TCP runs data apps, while UDP runs real-time apps. Rudimentary QoS policies based on giving UDP packets higher priority may not be perfect, but they can be a good start to improving performance on simpler networks.
My concern was that putting BitTorrent, a non-latency sensitive application – on UDP would result in it receiving higher priority traffic. But after speaking to Simon Morris, the Vice President of Product Management at BitTorrent, Inc., I was assured that this wasn't the case. Morris explained:
[Editor's Note: Some words got a little garbled in the phone conversation I had with Simon Morris, and he sent me an e-mail with clarifications. I've made corrections via strikethroughs. --ed.]
"BitTorrent obviously needs to be a accuracy-sensitive protocol but we believe it needs to also be …MORE sensitive to latency than TCP, not less sensitive.
This is to say that with uTP, we have taken UDP, implemented a layer of reliability and spent a great deal of time implementing a congestion control mechanism that is better than the one used in TCP (better = faster to detect issues, faster to react).
It's not QoS, but rather a congestion management mechanism implemented at the end-user's layer 7 [Application]. This will stop uTP from eating up
trafficbandwidth reserved for latency sensitive apps like VoIP and gaming. What's more, the congestion management mechanism isn't something we implemented as an afterthought – it's the whole point of uTP.
In short, it seems that rather than using UDP as a way of getting around TCP's traffic congestion features, the new protocol is rebuilding better traffic congestion features at layer 7, using the lightweight UDP protocol as a simple base. In short, to mangle a metaphor, they're re-inventing a better wheel.
If uTP does congestion control for BitTorrent as an application, this could provide an answer to BitTorrent critics, and ISPs who claim that BT throttling is necessary because it's "eating up bandwidth." I asked how uTP implemented congestion control at Layer 7 [Application] rather than Layer 4 [Transport].
Morris: "So basically, what TCP does is that it
stopsdetects congestion only when it detects packet loss and then it throttles back. Because we control both ends of the transfer, we can actually measure the single-trip time between when the packet is sent and a packet arrives. (Not round-trip-times but single-trip-times…) We have essentially, an ability to monitor single trips over the internet across millions and millions of terminals, and we built an algorithm around that to do things like eliminate the discrepancy between the stockclocksettings on different terminals – to identify where there is actual – very fine grain, down to milliseconds – changes in the speed of which packets are arriving…."
"The way that prioritization policies are set [by network operators] is extremely varied, and so, it's possible that [uTP-based] BitTorrent traffic will get a higher prioritization, but only in cases where it's not causing any type of congestion at all… [uTP] will never trample over UDP based latency sensitive traffic, nor TCP-based traffic. [UDP is] designed to throttle back if there's anything else on the line.
"I mean, it's essentially designed to be – a term that we use internally is – a "scavenger protocol." It scavanges and uses bandwidth that is not being used by other applications at all, and it's designed to throttle back very very quickly in case there is any type of congestion on the line.
"Unfortunately the way that TCP works is – just profoundly broken as a method of control congestion on the Internet. Especially when there are applications out there that are designed to get the most out of network bandwidth – like BitTorrent. People have tried to make TCP better, but the problem is that it's such a huge implementation task to make it happen, because you need to upgrade all of the Web servers and all of the terminals. Now, the insight here is that in
mostmanycases, we have control of both ends of the [communication]. So we can actually take the right steps in the direction of solving this problem.
Those concerned about BitTorrent (either classic or newfangled) traffic on their networks might want to check out a solution designed to monitor and track the types of traffic going on the network, including information about what applications are transmitting and receiving what amounts of traffic.

UFC officials are working towards finalizing a lightweight bout between Frankie Edgar and Matt Wiman for a planned "UFC Fight Night 16: UFC Fights for the Troops" event on Dec. 10 at Fort Bragg in Fayaetteville, N.C.
MMA Mania was the first to report the possible matchup on Tuesday but FiveOuncesOfPain.com was able to speak with Edgar on Wednesday who not only confirmed the matchup but indicated that he had just received his bout agreement.
Edgar last fought in a featured bout on July 19 during UFC Fight Night 14, where he recorded a unanimous decision victory over jiu-jitsu black belt Hermes Franca.
The win improved Edgar's overall MMA record to 9-1 and his record in the UFC to 4-1. His lone career loss took place in the Octagon at UFC Fight Night 13 in April where Edgar dropped a unanimous decision to Gray Maynard. Prior to that fight he had begun his UFC career with a 3-0 record with wins over Tyson Griffin, Spencer Fisher, and Mark Bocek.
Wiman, a alum from the fifth season of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality television show on Spike TV, has been on a roll as of late and saw his profile in the UFC's lightweight division increase greatly following a second round knockout over Thiago Tavares at UFC 85 in June.
Prior to appearing on TUF, Wiman had fought once before in the UFC, losing to Spencer Fisher at UFC 60. However, since appearing on the show he is 4-0 inside of the Octagon.
Should be a decent fight.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I think Frankie Edgar deserves better like maybe Roger Huerta since he lost.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Edgar should dominate Wiman with his wrestling.Easy win for Edgar.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Agreed. Edgar should be fighting the huerta's, kflo's and guidas of the ufc any 3 of those matches would keep you standing
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Couldnt agree more. I dont get this fight and I really think Edgar is not getting the respect he deserves. He deserves to fight the best in the division and a win here really does nothing for him
Agree or Disagree: 0 0

The Griggs County Sheriff's Office (GCSO) is investigating an incident in Binford, North Dakota stemming from a domestic depute on Monday, May 13.
The GCSO received a call from North Dakota State Radio of a 911 call they received from Binford, ND reporting a car hit a house. Minutes later, a second call from NDSR was received by GCSO stating a vehicle had also run over a person. The GCSO received a third call from NDSR reporting that the victim who was run over by the vehicle was still trapped under the vehicle and was run over intentionally.
A GCSO Deputy arrived on to the house and immediately saw a vehicle driven up against the west side the house at 110 Broad Street in Binford, and that an individual appeared to be pulling a person out from under the vehicle.
The Deputy spoke with a witness who had been working across the street. They said he heard an engine roar and then heard what he felt sounded like a crash of a vehicle. He turned to look in the direction of the noise and saw the house at 110 Broad Street shift and shake. That witness immediately called 911.
The driver of the 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche truck reportedly got out of the vehicle after hitting the house and allegedly running over the victim, got into a second SUV and took off. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Tyronza Watkins, age 36.
Two women were injured in the incident: Jessica Overby, age 28, who lives with the suspect, and Dawn Leininger, age 41. Both women were transported to the Cooperstown Medical Center Emergency Room and later air lifted to Sanford Hospital in Fargo.
Overby was released from the hospital on Tuesday, May 14. Leininger remains under medical care at Sanford Hospital in Fargo. Her condition is unknown.
A statewide search was underway for Tyronza Watkins, but just before 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15, Watkins was stopped on an interstate near Bloomington, Illinois. Watkins is being held in the McLean County Correctional Facility and the GCSO is working with the McLean County Sheriff's Office in Bloomington, Illinois on the case and will iron out extradition and transport from Illinois back to North Dakota.
Tyronza Watkins will be charged in Griggs County with attempted murder, reckless endangerment, and possible other charges pending results of the investigation.

Alleged gang leader jailed for intimidating police witness
4:55pm Friday 15th February 2013 in News By Hannah Williamson, Chief Reporter
The alleged leader of Tamil gang the Jaffna Boys has been jailed for intimidating a witness.
Edward Armstrong-Anton of Broadstairs, Kent, was jailed for 30 months at Croydon Crown Court after a jury took just hours to convict him of the charge.
The 37-year-old slapped and head butted Wakeezan Manivasakam and his brother in his shop, the Phoomi Supermarket store, in London Road.
Jurors were told the brothers were assaulted because Mr Manivasakam was acting as a witness in a case involving members of the Croydon gang.
Jonathan Edwards, prosecuting, told the court Mr Armstrong-Anton said he was the "King of London Road" and would chop of Mr Manivasakam's penis and kill his family if he helped police, during the incident on August 21 last year.
Croydon Crown Court heard Mr Manivasakam had been victim to the gang on July 22, which resulted in six men being charged with public order offences, including Shamoor Miah.
On August 14, Miah revisited Mr Manivasakam at his store to try and prevent him from testifying in the resulting court case.
Miah later pleaded guilty to intimidating Mr Manivasakam. Jurors were told Armstrong-Anton went to the store on August 21, because of his affiliation with the Jaffna Boys and to tell him to stop talking to the police.
Mr Armstrong-Anton denied one count of intimidation, but had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of assault.

The Candidates:
Carson Palmer (#1, 2003)
After a string of dud QB's, the Bengals finally had a real QB since Boomer's exodus to the Jets. Palmer set many franchise records on his way to a pair of Pro-Bowls. His career was phenomenal in his 2nd and 3rd seasons as a starter, before continually and steadily declining before his ultimate trade to Oakland.
Johnathan Joseph (#24, 2006)
A 2 time Pro-Bowl selection with 23 career Interceptions, who ultimately left for Houston when the Bengals didn't allow him to take cases of free Gatorade home.
Leon Hall (#18, 2007)
Like J-Jo, Hall also has 23 career interceptions, but in fewer games. Hall is also known as a great tackler, but has been hit hard with injuries of late.
Andre Smith (#6, 2009)
After 2 wasted seasons as an injured blob, he has turned into a very good RT. While not Willie Anderson, Andre has established himself as a dominant lineman anchoring the right side of the line.
Jermaine Gresham (#21, 2010)
Despite his untimely drops in key moments, he has reached 2 Pro-Bowls in 4 seasons. Has 2,262 yards and 19 TD's.
AJ Green (#4, 2011)
Has reached 3 Pro-Bowls in 3 seasons, and has set records as the most prolific wide receiver in the NFL throughout his first 3 seasons. Has totaled 3,833 yards and 29 TD's (about 1,300 yards and 10 TD's per year).
AJ Green
Round 2
The Candidates:
Eric Steinbach (33, 2003)
A good guard who has carved out a long, productive NFL career. Not elite, but a very good player.
Andrew Whitworth (#55, 2006)
Has established himself as an unquestioned team leader. Started at LG before shifting to LT, where he has played very well, despite only receiving 1 Pro-Bowl recognition.
Carlos Dunlap (#54, 2010)
Had 7.5 sacks in his first season as a starter last year, and has 27.5 sacks in 4 seasons. Is a very good LDE who constantly creates pressure on the pocket.
Andy Dalton (#35, 2011)
Started as a rookie with limited preseason work, yet has led the Bengals to 3 playoff appearances in 3 years. Set the NFL record for most TD passes in a season. Has a 3-year career line of 11,360 – 80 – 49.
Giovani Bernard (#37, 2013)
A dynamic running back who can rip off amazing runs, and can do great things catching out of the backfield. Still very young. Likely to continue in a rbbc role.
Andrew Whitworth
Round 3
The Candidates:
Michael Johnson (#70, 2009)
Marvin Lewis does some of his worst work in round 3. Michael Johnson wins this by default.
Guys like Chris Henry or Landon Johnson might be worth a fleeting mention, but none of the following 3rd round picks can beat out MJ93: K Washington, C Miller, F Rucker, P Sims, A Caldwell, C Coffman, J Shipley, B Ghee, D Moch, M Sanu, B Thompson, S Williams.
Michael Johnson
Round 4
The Candidates:
Robert Geathers (#117, 2004)
A productive run-stopping DE with limited pass rushing ability. Has carved out a nice, long NFL career.
Domata Peko (#123, 2006)
Has become a reliable piece of the D-Line who doubles as a goal line FB. A long-time starter who can play NT and require double teams, but is agile enough to break out a Gangham Style dance when needed.
Anthony Collins (#112, 2008)
An underrated career backup who finally got some serious starting time last year, and has played himself into a lucrative contract somewhere.
Geno Atkins (#120, 2010)
An elite DT who has 2 Pro-Bowls and an All-Pro selection already in his young career. Has 29 sacks in only 57 games played.
Geno Atkins
Round 5
The Candidates:
Kevin Huber (#142, 2009)
One of the better NFL punters at placing the ball where he wants it, and good at Net punting average.
Marvin Jones (#166, 2012)
Emerged in year 2 with over 700 yards and 10 receiving TD's.
George Iloka (#167, 2012)
Spent 2012 on the sidelines, but established himself as a starter in 2013. While he's not dynamic or elite, he could become an adequate safety starter for many years to come.
Kevin Huber
Round 6
When the top players are Langston Moore, Corey Lynch & Bernard Scott, it's time to take a pass on round 6.
Round 7
The Candidates:
Jonathan Fanene (#233, 2005)
After a few years on the side lines, became a quality situational backup. Finished with 13.5 sacks for his career.
Nedu Ndukwe (#253, 2007)
Unexpectedly beat out the higher drafted Marvin White (round 3) to win a starting safety position. While not a great coverage safety, he was good enough to start in the NFL for a few seasons. He was a good pass rusher, finishing his career with more sacks (7.5) than INT's (7).

Coached by NJIT, Nine Newark High Schools to Compete in Robotics Contest
Nine high-school teams from Newark, all coached by students and technicians from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), will compete in the New Jersey FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Regional Robotics Competition.
The contest will be held in the Sovereign Bank Arena, Trenton, March 18, from 9 a.m-4 p.m., and March 19, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The contest will feature five-foot tall, 100-pound robots lifting and stacking pyramid-shaped blocks of pipe and wood within a two-minute deadline.
Technology High School, one of the Newark teams coached by NJIT, won the Chairman's Award during last year's contest - the highest award given to a team. And this year all nine of the Newark teams - a total of 120 students - are poised to win both an award and to cultivate a love of science and engineering.
Joel Bloom, PhD, vice president for academic and student services at NJIT, said, "NJIT is strongly committed to the FIRST Robotics Competition, which is why our partnership with the Newark School District is proving so rewarding. FIRST is an ideal vehicle for integrating pre-engineering curriculum into the high-school experience. The robots really make the learning come alive for students, while at the same time cultivating their teamwork, planning and communication skills."
Editor's Note: Reporters who would like to cover the contest, please call Robert Florida at (973) 596-5203. The nine Newark high schools competing are Arts High; Barringer High; Central High; M.X. Shabazz High: Science High; Technology High; University High; Weequahic High; and West Side High.
Winning a FIRST competition demands teamwork, good strategy and a well-designed robot. Awards are given to teams for excellence in design, sportsmanship, and creativity. The Chairman's Award recognizes the team that embodies the spirit of FIRST, which is to respect and honor science and technology and to compete in a spirit of gracious professionalism. The teams who win awards will compete in the national championships in Atlanta held in late April.
Randy Schaeffer, FIRST regional director for New York City and New Jersey, said NJIT's level of support for the Newark schools has been unprecedented. "No other college in the nation," Schaeffer said, "has helped a school district the way NJIT has helped Newark. Some of the Newark students wind up attending NJIIT, while others learn to love science, technology and engineering. It's a win-win for all involved."
NJIT has provided shop and engineering facilities and labs as well as extensive technical support to the nine Newark teams. NJIT students have been enthusiastic mentors, many having participated in FIRST when they were in high school. NJIT has given scholarships to members of the Newark teams, and through its Center for Pre- College Programs, has taught Newark high school teachers about engineering, design and computer programming.
Bahig Michaels, district robotic coordinator for the Newark School District, said that "with the technical help the Newark teams have gotten from NJIT, we can not only compete with affluent suburban schools, but we can beat them. NJIT has been a role model for universities across the country in terms of how to help a school district."
A total of 53 teams from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Brazil, and Puerto Rico have entered the contest. To prepare, each team worked closely with professional mentors to design and build the sophisticated, autonomously and remote-controlled robots. Because the game and design specifications change each year, student teams and their mentors face new challenges with each competition. The competition looks and sounds more like a Big Ten championship game than a science and engineering competition.
FIRST is a nonprofit organization dedicated to introducing young people to the excitement of science, math, engineering and technology.

Keith "Fast Eddy" Summers:
Keith Summers' songs are a reflection of his travels, relationships, and life experiences. With roots sprouting from traditional acoustic banjo music, his songwriting blends the creative elements of John Hartford's down home lyrics, Bradley Nowell's comedic quirkiness toward social commentary, and Tim O'brien's light-hearted narratives.
While playing in his newgrass band Riverbend, Keith Summers had the honor of having his song "S.L.J." featured on Warren Miller's Playground. He has also played on such prestigious stages as the Boulder Theater and the Fox Theater. Currently, he spends his time entertaining crowds at the finest breweries, bars, and coffee shops all along the Front Range.
"What is Urban Foot Stomp Music?"
Keith Summers uses a modified soft-shoe dance, influenced by the late John Hartford, to add a driving rhythmic element to his music. His banjo playing and soft-shoe dance seamlessly blend together to keep audiences alert and engaged during his performances. His shows consist of a blend of unsuspecting cover tunes and original compositions that he uses to connect with his audiences. By sharing stories about his songs and leaving room for the audience to participate in singing, dancing, and laughing, they get a chance to forget about their lives for a while and enjoy some down-home entertainment.
Why the Moniker "Fast Eddy"?
Keith Edward Summers was born in the great state of New Jersey and spent his childhood days trailing through the backwoods of his hometown and enjoying the culture New York City has to offer. Constantly on the move, Keith's dad gave him the nickname "Fast Eddy." Keith's father was a music lover and local supporter of the hometown music scene. When Keith and his brother were in the Roxbury High School Marching Band, his father would film each performance and do annual fundraisers for the school music program. A tradition he continued after his sons graduated from high school. His father would also attend local coffee shop open mics and film the performers. Afterwards, he would make them copies of their performances, free of charge. Unfortunately, Keith's father succumbed to a heart attack April 5th, 2005. Keith Summers uses the moniker Fast Eddy as a tribute to his father and his love for music.

CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) - An investigative report shows Curry County jail officials placed an inmate in a cell next to a rival despite multiple warnings that the two be separated.
Inmate Jaime Perez was then attacked with a broom-handle by the other inmate, who was awaiting trial on charges he killed Perez's brother. A jailer monitoring surveillance cameras failed to notice the assault.
An investigation and report triggered by June 27 assault revealed multiple problems at the jail and with its handling of warnings not to place Perez near Louis Guerra and its equipment and records. Guerra was later convicted of murder.
The report was released to the Clovis News Journal Thursday after the county changed its mind about rejecting its public records request.

Sued for Malpractice, Law Firm Fires Back with Fraud Claim, Seeks Freeze on Former Client Assets
Posted Aug 7, 2012 11:52 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
As a Chicago law firm tells the story, it got stuck with a client from hell.
Kenneth and Wendy Brown were difficult to reach and rejected legal advice when James Koch of Gardiner Koch Weisberg & Wrona represented them in a Securities and Exchange Commission matter, Koch says in a pro se lawsuit (PDF posted by Courthouse News) filed in Cook County Circuit Court.
Plus, Kenneth Brown, "unbeknownst to Koch, was offering bribes to witnesses to change testimony," the suit contends. It says Koch and his firm rejected the Browns' request for help shielding assets by putting them into the names of their children after they nixed the attorney's advice to settle a securities complaint by the SEC and lost their case at trial.
Meanwhile, as they pursued a malpractice case against their former counsel, the defendants "told Koch that they had filed suit against each and every law firm they had hired so as to shake down insurance companies," the suit contends. His firm was no exception; the Browns filed a malpractice case against Gardiner Koch late in 2009.
Now Koch is filing suit, too. Asserting claims of breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and civil conspiracy in his Thursday complaint, he seeks a freeze and constructive trust on his former clients' assets as well as over $5 million in damages.
Naming the Browns, unidentified John and Jane Doe defendants and a lawyer who represented the Browns in other matters but is not listed as a defendant, the suit claims that they "creat[ed a] false and malicious complaint against the plaintiffs, including the filing of knowingly false complaints against the plaintiffs with the sole intent to forced [sic] shakedown of the plaintiffs and their insurance company."
It also alleges that the group acted tortiously and/or unlawfully because they knew Kenneth Brown "was engaged in the wholesale theft, fraud and conversion of his client's monies and has made a lifestyle out of defrauding people, including plaintiffs."

Microsoft Announces New Xbox 360 Racing Bundle
Posted on Tuesday, May 29 @ 13:30:08 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
If you're a racing fan and for some miraculous reason don't already own an Xbox 360 or Forza Motorsport 4, oh man does Microsoft have the deal of a lifetime for you. The old Halo: Reach and Fable III bundle has been done away with in favor of a racing-centric package that includes Forza 4, a wireless wheel and a 250GB console all for just $300.
Both the wheel and the game still aren't all that cheap, so investing in this bundle will definitely save you a decent chunk of change, especially if you were looking to purchase the two anyway.
Microsoft is expected to show Forza Horizon at E3 next week, so there's a good chance this new bundle is part of their strategy in stirring up excitement for their fresh take on the franchise.

Thanks Sura,
My back has been killing me!

Oftentimes, people tend to relate to their body as a separate entity. "This thing" that Ram Dass amusingly describes as "the spacesuit we were made to wear at birth." An awkward, sometimes uncomfortable and uncontrollable "body suit" that we feel disconnected to. When people say "mind-body-spirit," it's as though they speak about them as three separate entities, when in reality they are all are one, each reflecting the other perfectly.
Learning to turn up the voice of the body is invaluable. One of the biggest ways your body will speak to you is through pain. It is your body's way of telling saying that there's a problem. In other words, "you need to make a change." It could be less stress, a lifestyle change, or perhaps a shift in perspective. Too often people think, "I don't have the time and money," or perhaps they don't know how to deal with their pain. Many people chose to ignore their pain, but choosing to live in a semi-state of denial can cost you in the long run. It's your health. Pain is a symptom that something is out of balance.
Caroline Myss says that your "your biology is your biography." All of your life experiences, including your traumas, unresolved issues and feelings are recorded and stored in your body. It's a big memory bank. In Chinese medicine, disease is often seen as a result of emotional imbalance. Past emotions or experiences that haven't been fully resolved can get stuck in the body, leading to tension or blockage, and potentially disease. While there can be many causes of cancer, a primary culprit could very well be, blocked emotions.
Opening the meridians and channels of the body through acupuncture lets the "qi" or life force energy through the body. Qi flow and balance creates true health. In yoga, when people stretch open a part of their body, it can also open a past emotional trauma, and a big release happens. It's not uncommon to feel intense emotions or cry in deep poses. This release is very healthy and keeps the energy flowing in the body system.
Eckhart Tolle refers to the "pain-body" as synonymous with the ego, saying that we experience pain when we resist the present moment. He describes the pain body as the culmination of your childhood pain and trauma, an...

Lil Miss. Rosh.
Hello everyone. Hope you're having a fab week! Let me introduce myself, my name is Roshni and I blog about beauty, lifestyle and weight loss. Being friends with Kaushal, I was super excited to do a guest post for her lovely blog! Anyway, let me get onto the post! On Saturday evening, I went to my nephews 1st birthday party! Here are some photos:
My outfit is from Bombay Looks- a store which I use regularly to buy Indian outfits
My beautiful niece and I
I had literally come back from holiday, and I was sporting a tan! Unfortunately, my foundation was far too light for me, so I compensated by adding lots of matte bronzer! I didn't want to fork out £20 for a new shade of foundation (my tan fades quickly anyway) so I used what I already had in my collection!
Face makeup:
Studio Fix Powder Foundation in C40
Mac Moisture cover concealer in NC30for under eyes
Mac Fix +to set (this makes my skin look dewy, which is very helpful as I use a power based foundation)
Benefit Hoola Bronzerall over face
Body Shop Blush Trio in Warm Sunset on apples of the cheeks
I decided not to add highlighter on my cheekbones as the blusher already had lots of shimmer, and I did not want to look like a glitter ball!
Eyes (sorry about the rubbish photo!):
I used my naked palette for this look!
Urban Decay Half Baked and Smog all over the lid.
Urban Decay Creep on the outer V and blended slightly in the crease.
Mac Cork eyeshadow on the crease
Art Deco eyeshadow in no.29on brow bone.
Collection 2000 liquid eyelinerto line upper and lower line.
Sleek kajal eyelinerin the inner rim of the eye
Eyelure lashes in no.101.
Bobbi Brown lipstick in Carnation
I've been struggling with applying fake lashes recently but I've noticed that they make a massive difference to my eyes. They really open them up and add a glamorous touch to my makeup.
I wanted to keep the main emphasis on my lashes, therefore I did not extend the eyeshadow above the crease. As I have very small eyes, I try not to add too many dark colours near the crease because it closes up my eyes even more! My tip for small eyes is to use a warm brown eyeshadow to outline the eye socket in order to create depth.
Hope you all enjoyed this post!!
Eeeeks -Roshni is so gorgeous isn't she? I love all her blog posts & she's such a sweet person. Check out her fab blog HERE
Hello Hello!
It has been far too long since I last blogged, ever since returning from Dubai I just haven't been feeling it. But… the lovely Kaushal invited me to do a guest-blog for her. How could I refuse?!
In my short time away from the blogosphere my addiction to eBay has heightened to critical levels! I saw an amazing retro style tea dress in the window of a second-hand shop here in Manchester called "Cow". I went up to the counter and they said it was reserved, gutted!
Ever since then I've spent day after day relentlessly searching for retro tea dresses on eBay. After many fruitless, joyless days I stumbled across that pot of gold I was searching for and it reared it's head in the form of a green polka dot dress.
The colour is a beautifully stunning shade of green with a massive injection of vibrancy and I just loved the fact that I've never came across anything like this before on the high street or in boutiques! And how much did this little gem set me back? £3. Yes, that's right, THREE of your finest English Pounds Sterling. Bargain!
Now that I had this awesome dress, me being me, I obviously needed to match it up with some jewellery, y'know a ring and necklace, that kinda thing. I found the perfect match in H&M, this green rock. My sister thinks it looks a bit like Kryptonite, of course I laughed nervously and told her that Kryptonite doesn't exist. I think she bought it. The plan for world domination is still on…
I paired it all up with a Pumpkin necklace I found completely by accident in my favourite clothing store in the world ever: Ark. It's made by a company called Junkshop. I'd never heard of them before but if they can keep producing little masterpieces like this they'll definitely be worth keeping an eye out for!
Retro Green Polka Dot Dress – eBay
Lace Cardigan – H&M Divided
Green cCuster Ring – H&M
Pumpkin Necklace – Junk Shop
Have you bought anything amazing off eBay at a ridiculously low price?
I LOVE Halima's blog – she has amazing OOTDs & stunning jewellery! You can check out her blog HERE
Lipgloss and Leopard Print.
Hello there all you Beauty-Fulfilled readers!
As you already know, Kaushal's blog is being taken over by guest bloggers while she's away on holiday and today's my turn to post! I'm Sriya from Lipgloss And Leopard Print and this is the first guest post I've ever done and I'm really glad it's for this blog as it's definitely one of my favourites! Anyway, I thought I'd do a post on my favourite products that I use to style my hair whether it be straight, wavy or curly. Hope you like it! Here we go..
Shampoo, Conditioner & Treatment
Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner: I've just started using Organix's Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. For a while now I've been on the hunt for a good shampoo and conditioner that doesn't contain sulphates and parabens and so far I'm really loving this one! It's the only sulfate and paraben free shampoo and conditioner that I've actually got on with. It smells good and it leaves my hair looking oh so glossy and healthy! These products also protect from styling heat and UV damage which is a bonus and the shampoo lathers well unlike most sulphate and paraben free shampoos I've tried.
Joico K-Pak Moisture Intense Hydrator: As an intensive treatment for when my hair is feeling like it needs a treat, I love using Joico's K-Pak Moisture Intense Hydrator. I apply it to damp hair for 3-5 minutes and then rinse. This stuff smells amazing and it makes my hair so silky, shiny and healthy after I use it. I'd highly recommend this!
Mousse & Hairspary
Pantene Pro-V Enhanced Layers Mousse & Perfect Curls Mousse: When I want to achieve effortless messy curls, I scrunch in either the enhanced layers mousse or the perfect curls mousse to wet hair. This really helps to enhance my curls and add volume and it holds really well compared to when I curl my hair with a curling tong/straightener. It also smells amazing just like most Pantene products and it has that signature Pantene scent to it which I love. I've been using these mousses for years now.. I've tried others but I always end up coming back to these ones!
L'oreal Elnett Hairspray: After I've applied the mousse and my hair has dried, I spritz it with some Elnett hairspray to make the curls last longer. The one I am using at the moment is the Extra Strength hairspray with Pro-Keratin but I usually just pick up any Elnett hairspray as I like them all! If I curl my hair using a curling tong, rollers or a straightener then I also apply some hairspray once it's styled to keep the curls in place.
Serum, Crème, & Leave in Treatment
L'anza Neem Plant Silk Serum: This is my all time favourite serum and it can be applied to wet or dry hair. I like applying this to dry hair after it has been straightened or curled or even on my natural hair! This serum is AMAZING.. Unlike many other serums I've tried this one provides instant shine and softness without weighing my hair down or making it greasy. It also protects your hair from UV rays and you only need to use a teeny bit as a small amount goes a long way. I've had mine for a good few months now and you can see in the picture above that it's practically still full. I'd highly recommend this product to everyone.. I can't live without it!
John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Agent: This is a product that I've been using for years! I apply it to my hair after I've straightened or curled it if I'm not using the L'anza serum to get rid of any frizz and static hair. It's an absolute must have for me.
CHI Keratin Mist: This is a leave-in strengthening treatment that I've been using for a while now. I spray about 3-4 pumps into dry hair and then straighten or curl. With this product a little goes a long way which means it lasts for AGES. This Keratin Mist really makes my hair look and feel silky without weighing it down and it's supposed to be a heat protectant too which is perfect as I don't have one. It smells really strong like aftershave though which I like but others may not.
Dry Shampoo & Hair Oil
Batiste Dry Shampoo: Batiste dry shampoo has been a staple in my hair care routine for years and I don't know what I would do without it now. For those of you that don't know what dry shampoo is, it's basically a product that you spray into your roots, massage in and then comb over to revitalise greasy hair! It's so quick and easy to use and comes in handy on those days you don't have time to wash your hair. At the moment I'm using Batiste Blush but my other favourites include Batiste Tropical, Boho and Brit. These dry shampoo's are also a great way to add volume to your hair!
Quick tip: When I have don't have any dry shampoo left, I use talcum powder instead.. It's messy but it gets the job done!
Vatika Coconut Hair Oil: I put this coconut oil in my hair for a couple of hours or sometimes even overnight as often as I can to really nourish and condition my hair. I always notice such a huge difference when I use it and I'd really recommend using an oil in your hair at least once a fortnight if you can. You can also use other oils such as almond oil, jasmine oil and moroccan oil which are all just as good if not better!
So there you have it, my favourite hair products! What are your favourites?
WOW – that post was truly inspiring! My hair care isn't as amazing as Sriya's – she's totally made me wanna sort it out! If you have any recommendations, do leave me a comment Also don't forget to check out Sriya's wonderful blog HERE.

Wedding Celebrations
A couple of weeks ago I attended a wedding… It was utterly beautiful! I got to spend lots of time with the bride & her wonderful family! I'm sure some of you have been waiting for this post to let me get straight to it!
This is the sari I wore to the mehndi (henna) night! I wanted something colourful, yet light as I knew dancing would be involved! As soon as I saw this in the shops I knew I had to have it I LOVE the colour combination, it's really different!
Nars Sheer Glow mixed with MAC Face & Body.
Mineralize Skin Finish Powder by MAC.
Garnier tinted eye roll on as concealer.
Hoola, Posie tint & High Beam as a high light.
Vex, Green Smoke & Juxt on my lid. Intoxicate & Showstopper on the crease. Retrospeck in my inner corner (all MAC eye shadows). Virgin by UD under my brow bone. Benefit Magic Ink top liner, SuperSHOCK Gel by Avon on my upper & lower waterline. Zoom Lash Mascara.
Turkish Delight by Nars & Carmex (they've both pretty much come off by this picture though!).
This is the sari that I wore to the pre-wedding ceremony. It's a gorgeous half net sari – the colour is super nice, I don't own anything like it! The bride got me this especially all the way from India
MAC Studio Sculpt mixed with MAC Face & Body.
Mineralize Skin Finish Powder.
Garnier tinted eye roll on as concealer.
Hoola, Candid Coral by ELF & High Beam as a high light.
Vex & Cranberry on my lid & Showstopper on the crease. Shroom in my inner corner (all MAC eye shadows). Virgin by UD under my brow bone. Benefit Magic Ink top liner, SuperSHOCK Gel by Avon on my upper & lower waterline. Zoom Lash Mascara.
Vegas Volt & Indulge intense lip gloss by Illamasqua.
This is the sari I wore to the wedding. I went for something different, as this isn't your traditional sari. I literally wrapped it around me three times & I was done! HASSLE FREE I was drawn to this one because of the style & the colours – super summery!
MAC Studio Sculpt mixed with MAC Face & Body.
Mineralize Skin Finish Powder.
Garnier tinted eye roll on as concealer.
Hoola, Cha Cha tint & High Beam as a high light.
Vex the my lid with Intoxicate & Showstopper on the crease (all MAC eye shadows). Virgin by UD under my brow bone. Benefit Magic Ink top liner, Brown eye pencil by Estée Lauder on my upper & lower waterline. They're Real Mascara by Benefit & SUPER LUSH GLAMOUR LASHES by Girls with Attitude.
Catharge by Nars.
I also had my hair done for the first time, ever!! I was afraid it wouldn't last in my hair as it's quite long and super thick! But it turned out lovely – we all had fresh flowers in our hair, it was such a ELEGANT touch
My favourite sari had to be the one I wore to the reception! Black & gold NEVER goes out of fashion & this one is amazing! So light, easy to move in it but lovely & sparkly at the same time! Again, this was easy to put on as it came ready pleated at the front & at the shoulder
It has gorgeous gem & beaded work on the hip of the sari as you can see above & below…
Along with similar embroidery on the shoulder! There's a close-up of it above & from a short distance below
For the reception we literally had 20-30 minutes to get ready (which is why most of my make-up stayed the same apart from a few additions on top of what I already had on)
MAC Studio Sculpt mixed with MAC Face & Body.
Mineralize Skin Finish Powder.
Illuminating concealer by Collection 2000 (LOVE this!!).
Hoola, Candid Coral by ELF & High Beam as a high light.
Golden Gaze on the lid with a little bit of Carbon on the crease (all MAC eye shadows). Virgin by UD under my brow bone. Benefit Magic Ink top liner, SuperSHOCK Gel by Avon on my upper & lower waterline. They're Real Mascara by Benefit & SUPER LUSH GLAMOUR LASHES by Girls with Attitude.
LIQUEUR by Sleek & Turkish Delight by Nars.
These are a few of my favourite pictures from the wedding It went so well & I had a fantastic time… I want to do it all over again
P.S – I got all of my sari's (minus the one from India) from ANOKHI Sari's in Leicester – they're website isn't any ASOS but I would highly recommend this shop if you're based in &/or around that area. My sari's for the wedding were ONE-OFF designer pieces… If you're like me & you want designer sari's (that no one else will have) your best bet is to go to the store
Wordless Wednesday.
Are you faux real?
If you read my previous POST you would have noticed I had a mascara in there which I've been using a lot recently… It's the one & only THEY'RE REAL mascara by Benefit*. Now, I'm a huge fan of Benefit and they're BadGal Lash (which reminds me that I need to get some more of it!) so was super intrigued to see what this was like.
The brush is designed to coat each & every lash of yours… Including the ones you didn't even think you had!
The packaging I LOVE – I can't really think of anything by the brand which I didn't like packaging wise It feels more LUXURIOUS than their BadGal Lash. I really like the colour of the tube too.
The mascara wand is made from RUBBER. About a year ago I wouldn't touch rubber mascara wands… I didn't think they'd do anything positive to my lashes. But, boy was I wrong! After trying one out I find myself drawn to these mascara wands all the time!
The end of the wand reminds me of Givenchy's mascara… which I would find weird using without having a proper, long brush to comb through my lashes. This however, has BEST of both worlds Now it's time for the before & after pictures…
I don't curl my lashes. So bearing that in mind & the fact that I only applied one coat… the mascara has lifted my lashes, coated them from root to tip & lengthened them at the same time
I wouldn't say it looks like I've got fake lashes, but I suppose that depends on how you define fake lashes… But some of the girls did think I had lash inserts It definitely gives them an extra oomph!
Application is super easy & the formulation of the mascara is great – it dries like a treat I've been using the tip to coat my outer lashes – I wouldn't reccomend using it to separate your lashes because it usually has a lot of product on the tip.
If you don't dip the brush into the product enough it can dry & make your lashes clumpy – so you gotta be careful. Having said that…
On a whole, I'm super happy with this product! Would I buy this again? Yes! Would I have bought this when it officially launches? Hell to the YES!! I'm looking forward to this coming out in waterproof too!
Will you be picking this mascara up when it launches in the next few weeks?
P.S – Watch this space for FLASH SALE details of this mascara which is going on sale 3 weeks before its nationwide launch!!

Ida Kavafian enjoys an international reputation as one of the most versatile musicians performing today. With a repertoire as diverse as her talents, Ms. Kavafian has electrified stages as a recitalist as well as a soloist with major orchestras across the globe. For over 25 years, Ms. Kavafian has been the artistic director of the highly successful festival, Music from Angel Fire, in New Mexico. A graduate of Juilliard studying with Oscar Shumsky, she made her NY debut under Young Concert Artists. As the Kavafian Duo, she appears frequently with her sister, violinist Ani Kavafian. Together they have performed in recital as well as with the symphonies of Detroit, Colorado, Tucson, San Antonio, and Cincinnati, and have recorded the music of Mozart and Sarasate on the Nonesuch label. They were featured on CBS Sunday Morning and NBC's Today Show and celebrated the 25th anniversary of their first performance together at Carnegie Hall in the fall of 2008. Ms. Kavafian has also appeared in a solo feature on CBS Sunday Morning.

"Nielsen's 1923 piece for solo violin [Prelude and Theme] convincingly showed Kavafian's virtuoso as well as artistic credentials. The piece takes an original theme through eight attractive variations before landing where it began.... Kavafian and [Peter] Serkin brought controlled fires to the romanticism of Schumann's Sonata No. 2, Opus 121.

"Michael Daugherty is a wonderful composer, and these three pieces make splendid listening. Fire and Blood is a violin concerto, and a damn fine one. Violin concertos are exceptionally difficult to write, especially in balancing the soloist against a large modern orchestra. Daugherty handles the challenge with aplomb. In the first movement, for example, he keeps the accompaniment light but colorful. Sounds that come across as hackneyed in the hands of other composers, such as harp glissandos or little glockenspiel accents, here sound freshly imagined, while the solo writing offers much that is genuinely lyrical and beautiful. Ida Kavafian puts plenty of heart into her playing, really digging into the tunes while making light of the technical difficulties."

Naked Week at College
When people are told about an event that will be happening at one of the oldest Ivy League schools in the United States, they probably don't believe it. It's just something said to the incoming Freshmen as an 'inside joke'. But starting Monday, September 30 and running through Saturday, October 5, Brown University, the United States 7th oldest college, will be hosting 'Nudity in the Upspace Week'.
This isn't the first time that Brown University, which is located in Providence, Rhode Island, has hosted a nudity week. Event organizers host this event to face the stigmas of the naked body and to promote that uncomfortable subject of being nude.
But what types of 'nudity week' events actually happen in the Production Workshop Upspace, one of the campus' buildings?
There will be a nude yoga class, which promises to 'stretch the body in ways that it hasn't been stretched before' (mats are provided but bring your own towel), a nude caberet, nude open mic night, nude body painting and plenty of speakers discussing the stereotypes of being nude and body image.
The organizers of nudity week want everyone that attends to realize that 'being nude is fun' and that all bodies are welcome. What is not welcome, however, are phones and cameras!
(Shame on you! Did you really think I would put NUDITY WEEK pictures here? Gotcha!)

text: I know that the Cowboys need alot of help, probably more help than most of us might think. I also believe that a tougher mentality needs to somehow be instilled in this team, however, Rome wasn't built in a day so there needs to be a starting point. With that in mind I give you 2 names that should be on every Cowboys fans wishlist, Carl Nicks and Dre Kirkpatrick. Nicks is the best guard on the market and will almost solidify the offensive line for the next 5 years. Kirkpatrick is a wildcard but his talent is off the charts. He is tall enough to cover the big receivers in the East and fast enough to catch any one of them, also, he is tough and can tackle. I'm not saying that this will put the team over the top but it will be one hell of a start, don't ya think?

Police admit failings after dog attack
A dog attack which left ten people bitten could have been prevented by Sussex Police, the force has admitted. Two Staffordshire bull terrier crosses went on the rampage when they escaped from a house in St Leonards in July last year.
But it's emerged both dogs attacked a man two months earlier but their owner was not arrested. Spencer Brown was jailed in August. Sussex police is now giving staff dog legislation awareness training.

Pandemic Flu Information
No organization will be immune from the effects of a global pandemic. Every
crisis contains two elements: risk and opportunity. The risks associated with
pandemics are: an unpredictable timeline for when the event will occur; an indeterminate
duration should the event occur; human suffering; disruption of normal life and
business activities; disruption of transportation and other public services. The
opportunities we are presented with are: planning and responding in a caring,
compassionate and prudent manner; reducing the spread and continued transmission
of the disease and delivering essential services to allow the CSU to continue in
its important and vital mission. After the H1N1 Flu experience, the resources below still apply to potential new pandemic situations.
On August 10, 2010 , the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the world is now moving into the post-pandemic period. The H1N1 (2009) virus is expected to continue to circulate as a seasonal virus for some years to come. WHO recommends that health officials continue to monitor for severe or unusual cases. Early recognition and appropriate treatment of such cases remains important.
On October 7, 2009, new resources became available on the federal government's flu website, FLU.gov. In addition, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued guidance for Pandemic Preparedness in the Workplace and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which identifies established ADA principles relevant to workplace pandemic planning.
On August 20 , 2009, CDC
provided Guidance for Institutions of Higher Education During the 2009 - 2010 Academic Year. This guidance is intended to help decrease the spread of flu among students, faculty, and staff.
Current state information is available on California Department of Public Health. Current international information is available on the World Health Organization (WHO).

News: 50 Cent Makes Huge Bucks W/ Giants Bet, "Just Watched A $500,000 Football Game"
Monday, Jan 23, 2012 9:31AM
G-Unit's 50 Cent showed his support for the New York Giants last night (January 22) by revealing a $500,000 bet he placed on the hometown team.
According to Fif, he is going to give the game winnings to his grandmother.
"I love the NEW YORK see this is life baby LMAO Man all U had to do was listen I told you were gonna win http://lockerz.com/s/176987740," he tweeted January 22nd.
"Yo don't give that punk no attention. if I get shot ill only get up again.just watched a 500,000 dollar foot ball game get on my level.Chump"
"Street king baby I'm a king I do this. I'm giving this money to my nana she gonna faint LMAO all she do is go to the church :o)" (50 Cent's Twitter)
50 also posted a photo of himself surrounded by his alleged winnings.
The Giants weren't the only winners this weekend. New York's own 50 Cent bet big on his home team and ended up collecting when they defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's playoff game to advance to the Super Bowl. The hip-hop tycoon showed off his earnings (rumored to be $500,000) on Twitter, posing with racks on racks of $100 bills. (Rap-Up)
Last year, Cash Money's Birdman placed a million dollar bet on the Super Bowl.
Bryan Williams tells Dallas radio that he's got a "mill ticket" riding on Lil Wayne's preferred contender in tonight's Super Bowl XLV. Last week, Birdman appeared at Dallas, Texas' K104 FM station with DJ Khaled, and hinted that he's got a million dollars riding on tonight's Super Bowl XLV contest. "If you listen to us, you'll feel us," said the former Big Tymers rapper. Continuously repeating the term "mill ticket," the executive-turned-rapper boasted that he and his associates live a life of grandeur. "A mill ticket, man, figure it out." (Hip Hop DX)
The Giants are headed to next month's Super Bowl after defeating the San Francisco 49ers.
The Giants are heading back to the Super Bowl for the second time in four years, after clinching a 20-17 overtime victory over the 49ers in the NFC championship game Sunday with a 31-yard field goal by Lawrence Tynes with 7:06 remaining in the extra period. (Los Angeles Times)

By Robert Hydrick - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The San Francisco Giants rookie catcher makes his first trip to Atlanta's Turner Field this weekend to face the Braves.
This series is the first chance many of Buster's friends and former coaches have had to see him play since he was drafted by the Giants two years ago.
If Leesburg seems like a ghost town this weekend, it is because most of the town and county will likely be here at Turner Field to see Buster Posey in action for the first time as a member of the San Francisco Giants.
Ted Deiter and Billy Abell have had the chance to watch Buster Posey go from T-ball to the big leagues. But win or lose, everyone is just glad to see Buster who has been living on the west coast for much of the last two years.
After watching San Francisco Giants games on the computer this summer, both can't wait to get to Turner Field to see him play in person.
"But to see a kid you used to coach put on a professional uniform and the Giants were actually my team when I was younger with Mays, Cepeda, McCovey and Jimmy Ray Hart. And to have Buster Posey's name amongst those as some of the rookie records he has tied or attempting to break. It is just a wonderful feeling," said Ted Deiter Dixie Youth Baseball Coach.
Abell "During the week you would jump to get the box scores and see what Mickey (Mantle) did. That is the way it is with Buster. Every night I am looking Sportscenter or Baseball Tonight to see what is on the bottom screen to see what he has done that particular night," said Dixie Youth Baseball Coach Billy Abel.
Most everyone in Lee County has been doing everything they can to make their way to Atlanta to watch some or all of the four game series between the Braves and Giants.
One of the biggest crowds may be on Friday when a chartered bus from the Leesburg United Church will bring more than 60 fans to the game.
Lee County High School baseball coach Rob Williams, his staff and many of Buster's teammates are also going to take in a game or two.
"It is something I have never been able to do before. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. As soon as he was called up, I immediately pulled up the Giants schedule and see when they would be in Atlanta. I have had tickets for quite some time," said Williams.
Buster's homecoming is even more special after he was named the National League Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month.
His former coaches say his fast start in the big leagues is due to talent but also his love and knowledge of the game.
"I had a talk with Buster about baseball when he was young and when I got home and told my wife where I had been and she said did you learn anything," said Deiter.
The Braves and Giants will play a four game series this weekend at Turner Field. Friday's game will start at seven-thirty. Saturday's game has been moved to seven o'clock after it was dropped from national television broadcast. The final game of the series is at one-thirty Sunday afternoon.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is stopping by a Carthage manufacturing business on Thursday after attending a fundraiser on Wednesday evening.
The presumptive nominee's campaign held a fundraiser at the Netherland Plaza Hotel Wednesday night in Cincinnati. The event involved two receptions; one for VIPs willing to pay $10,000 per person, which includes a photo with Romney; and a general reception costing $2,500 per person and no photo.
Romney supporters said he is right for the nation and the state of Ohio.
"I think he is because of his leadership in the business world. My disappointment in Mr. Obama has been his lack of leadership," said Frederick Holzberger.
Others disagreed, saying Obama is the right choice.
"While the economy is climbing out of a recession he didn't create, he's not satisfied with the growth of the economy right now. No one should be. But we've got to keep on the course," said Tim Burke, chairman of the Hamilton County Democratic party.
The money raised will go to Romney Victory Inc., which is a combination of the Romney campaign, Republican National Committee, Party Congressional Campaign Committees and some Republican State organizations.
Thursday, Romney will visit a manufacturing business, Seilkop Industries, in Carthage, where he will deliver a speech on how to fix the economy.
He will then launch a six-state bus tour Friday in New Hampshire will take him across Ohio on Sunday.
A campaign spokesman says the Ohio leg begins with a "Father's Day pancake breakfast" in Brunswick in northeast Ohio. That's followed by an outdoor rally in Newark and a stop at a western Ohio burger restaurant in Troy.
The campaign says the tour focuses on small towns and their residents' everyday concerns. Romney will also be joined by Senator Rob Portman on Sunday in Ohio. Portman has been mentioned frequently in speculation as the top choice for Romney's running mate. Portman will also campaign for Romney on Friday in North Carolina.
President Barack Obama will be back in Ohio on Thursday, at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland. In 2008, Obama carried Ohio, a swing state likely to be pivotal in November.
According to the Federal Elections Commission, Romney has raised $1,852,506 in Ohio and President Barack Obama has raised $1,775,673 in Ohio.

What does a Chamber of Commerce do? It's a question we all struggle to precisely answer. There are any number of ways to say everything that we do. But when we started thinking more about how we answer that question, we realized one really important thing: Our members ARE our Chamber.
With this page, we hope to share the stories of those members in a variety of different ways. And we can't wait to hear more of the stories of what makes our Chamber who and what it is.
All around you there are businesses proud to be Chamber members. I Am The Chamber is all about them.
February 20, 2013 at 04:13pm
Coming soon you'll get to hear more great stories about our wonderful Chamber members!
February 20, 2013 at 04:12pm
What is a Chamber of Commerce? How can you help my business?
We hear those two questions a lot here at the Fayetteville Regional Chamber. In fact, they're probably the two most asked questions at Chambers around the country. And the reason they get asked so much, is because there aren't really any easy answers to those questions.
We've spent a lot of time trying to find better ways to answer the questions and we've done a lot of work to make sure our members understand who we are and what we do for them. But when it came down to it, we realized there was a pretty simple answer to the question of "What is a Chamber." It was sitting right in front of us.
The answer isn't that a Chamber is the place you call for information on starting a new business. The answer isn't that we're an advocate for small businesses. While we certainly DO those things and they are important to what we do, the answer really is that our Chamber is... our members.
We are incredibly blessed to have nearly 1,000 businesses in our community as members of our organization. THEY are the Chamber. These businesses and the network they represent is what we are all about, and why we do what we do.
Increasing connection in the community; striving to create a strong economic climate; providing better opportunities to support education and shop local initiatives? Those things all happen because of our members.
With that answer now in mind, be prepared as we start telling you the story of our members.
You'll see "I am the Chamber" all over town. From billboards to radio to newspaper to Internet, the message will be shared everywhere.
We'll be sharing the stories of those businesses and we hope you'll show your support of them as we go. Visit our Website and our Facebook pages and you'll see these stories start to pop up. Watch for the new stickers to appear in business windows all over town. Make sure to thank them for their investment in the future of business in our community.
Your Fayetteville Regional Chamber exists because of these great businesses and we're excited to share their success. We hope that if you're not a part of the Chamber yet that you'll see the value through this campaign.

My book that I read this week was House Rules, by Jodi Picoult.
I will start with the fact, that I adore Jodi and all of her books. They are always so enrapturing! Seriously, the past 3 nights, Fabio has fallen asleep while I am still reading. --This never happens! I'm always the first one out cold!
To sum up the book, it follows the events surrounding a murder in a small Vermont town, focusing on an 18 year old boy named Jacob. Jacob has been coping the majority of his life with Asperger's Syndrome. The police come to talk to him about the death of his tutor, Jess, and in the following days, he is believed to be the murderer.
I'm not going to go into details, because like many of Picoult's books, the details of the book are what keep you reading like an addict.
I will say though, the dialogue of the book did make me physically and actually LOL several times. Jacob's literal translation of the world was just so funny! I also really enjoyed how this book focuses on the themes of family, healing, and coping with disabilities. I have a few family friends that are like my younger siblings, and the majority of this family has Asperger's. The entire time I was reading, I was comparing Jacob's antics to those of my friends.
One thing I didn't like, is the way that some information, and some stories are repeated from different characters' perspectives. Besides that though?
I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars!
The only problem I have now? Which one should I read next?!?
I'm thinking either Salem Falls, Mercy or Lone Wolf???

More than 45,000 baby rattles are being recalled after two reported incidents of them separating and the small pellets being accessible to children.
The recall involves the "Buff Baby" baby rattle, which looks like a dumbbell and contains small plastic pelts inside.
The rattles were sold from October 2011 to June 2013 at specialty toy and baby stores nationwide and also through amazon.com and other online vendors for between $7 and $10.
Officials said the rattle caps can separate leaving allowing the small pellets to fall out, posing a choking hazard. So far, no injures have been reported.
Consumers should immediately take the rattle away from children and contact Fred & Friends for a full refund. For more details, visit their website here and click on the Product Recall Information at the bottom of the page.

In her acceptance speech, Ms. Lapostolle expressed great emotion and pride in receiving this honor from Chile and the Chilean people, highlighting her respect for Chile's ability to overcome difficult times such as the February 2O1O earthquake. The official ceremony was followed by a reception at La Fragatte Restaurant to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of Alexandra's husband, Cyril de Bournet, and the bicentennial celebration of the Republic of Chile.

Lincolnshire GCSE results buck national trend
Provisional figures released today by Lincolnshire schools, including academies, show the overall number of pupils getting 5 or more A*-Cs (including English and Maths) in their GCSEs has increased this year by 0.8% to 63%. This compares to a national trend that shows a fall in GCSE grades.
Two schools, Caistor Grammar School Academy - for the third year running - and Boston High School, achieved 100% at 5+A-C (including English and Maths). Grantham Kesteven and Grantham Girls' School students achieved the highest grades A/A in at least five subjects.
Five schools made huge improvements of 10% or more on their results from last year in 5+A*-C grades – The King Edward VI Humanities College in Spilsby, William Lovell CE School at Stickney, Monks' Dyke Technology College at Louth, Castle Academy in Lincoln and Banovallum School in Horncastle.
– Councillor Mrs Patricia Bradwell, Executive Councillor for Children's Services
This is yet another outstanding year of results for Lincolnshire schools. It's a truly incredible achievement by all young people, their teachers, parents and carers, especially in light of the national fall. The students should feel exceptionally proud of all their hard work._
